"It's okay, none of this is important. Just return home safely. I won't say any more. Just go and take shelter. You don't have to worry about the mecha. I will take care of the aftermath."
Zhao Wushuang simply said to Su Mo.
"good."
Su Mo nodded.
Zhao Wushuang then climbed onto the Kuihu mecha and moved it away.
Only then did Su Mo notice that the main broadcast kept repeating warnings.
"Urgent notice, in order to cope with the possible impact of white hole rays, everyone has entered the evacuation mode. After the repatriation of personnel is completed, the sublight speed flight mode will be fully activated. At that time, all unnecessary energy output including the life support system will be reduced. Please all
People should immediately go to the refuge points in various areas of the Black Yao, or return to their own houses, and make all preparations..."
"Repeat this is not a drill, please everyone enter each refuge area as soon as possible."
.....
Buzzing~~
Su Mo suddenly felt his phone vibrate.
He picked up his phone and took a look. Emergency warning messages kept popping up.
You can see how urgent the situation is.
Su Mo turned around and looked around. After completing their duties, many soldiers ran towards the safe room in the corner of the hangar, sat inside, pulled out the fixed seat belts and fixed them, making preparations for disaster prevention.
"this...."
Su Mo felt a little panicked for no reason.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and take refuge? Do you want to die?"
The voice of the forger, the Devourer, sounded in Su Mo's mind.
"Why are you so nervous? It's still too early for the white hole to explode, and didn't you say it's okay?"
Su Mo asked, feeling something was wrong.
"I'm not omnipotent, and I can't be 100% sure! Even if the white hole explodes at this time, it wouldn't be surprising."
"Then you still have time to tell me, aren't you trying to kill me?"
Su Mo responded with a sudden change of expression.
"Now that you are still in the mood to argue about this, why don't you hurry up and take refuge? You want to die, but I don't want to die yet."
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, said coldly.
"I was tricked by you."
"But you don't have to be afraid, I have already chosen a place for you to take refuge."
"where?"
Su Mo calmly asked, "It's useless to talk about anything else in this situation now."
"You should go to the GT department hangar immediately and find a way to get into the gluttony mecha's cab. You don't need to activate the mecha. Just squat inside. It's the safest place."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a deep voice.
"It's fine if you have already done it."
Su Mo suddenly came back to his senses.
"That's right, use the Black Glory as a shield. If you can resist it, go through it. If you can't resist it, use the Gluttony Mecha to resist it. I will help at the critical moment. When the time comes, we will escape by ourselves. As for the other ants, they will fight with us.
It doesn’t matter anymore.”
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said to Su Mo in an extremely cold voice.
Su Mo was too lazy to tell this guy. He was already a little used to the logic of the forged owner and devourer, and then ran towards the outside area.
Soon after, Su Mo left the hangar and came to the living area.
It's even more chaotic here, with people fleeing in panic everywhere. Although most people instinctively run towards their houses, there are still many people who think that the houses they are assigned are too high, or the location is not good, and they feel safe.
Not having enough sex, he drags his family with him and wanders around looking for hiding spots.
"Run quickly, the spaceship is going to explode!"
"Go away, don't block me."
"Aww, so scary."
"Wow wow..."
"Don't panic, don't be confused. We have plenty of time to escape. Don't believe any words of panic..."
Some soldiers who were maintaining order tried their best to shout, but it had little effect. In extreme fear, almost no one listened.
Su Mo even saw a very bad scene, with many people trying to enter the hangar and controlled area.
They think those areas will be safer.
However, the guarding soldiers refused. Although it was an emergency, the controlled area was a controlled area, and it was impossible to let non-professionals enter.
"You can't go in."
"Let us go in. It's safe inside."
"Listen to me, the hangar is full of mechas and weapons. It will only make it more dangerous for you to go in. There are twelve giant shelters in the living area. If you feel unsafe, you can go to those areas."
The guard captain explained patiently.
"We don't want to go to the refuge area, it's almost crowded there."
Saying that, he forced his way in.
Su Mo looked at this scene with a very complicated expression.
At this moment, Su Mo's cell phone rang.
Su Mo picked it up and saw that the call was from an unknown number. He couldn't help but frown and picked up the call.
Qian Chengxue's overjoyed voice immediately rang on the phone.
"Great, it turns out you haven't changed your mobile phone number."
"Well, where are you?"
Su Mo asked quickly.
"I just came out of the Black and White Institution, and they said you were not in there. Where are you, I will look for you."
Qian Chengxue asked eagerly.
"I'm at the entrance to downtown."
"Let's meet at Haichao Restaurant in Zhongcheng District. I'll be there soon."
"good."
Su Mo nodded and responded.
After hanging up the phone, Su Mo felt warm in his heart. When disaster strikes, it is indeed a blessing to have someone caring about him.
"You still care about others, why don't you hurry up and take refuge?"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, urged angrily.
"Why are you anxious? It's still early. Don't you have confidence in your prediction?"
Su Mo responded very calmly. At this time, he was completely free of panic.
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, was immediately speechless by Su Mo.
Su Mo immediately ran towards Haichao Restaurant.
Soon after, Su Mo ran to Haichao Restaurant first.
He looked around everywhere, and saw that the streets were full of people running for refuge. Not long after, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd, running towards him.
Su Mo waved to him and shouted.
"here!"
When Qian Chengxue saw Su Mo, her frown relaxed slightly. When she came over, she reached out and took Su Mo's hand and said.
"let's go."
The moment Su Mo was pulled by Qian Chengxue, his heart skipped a beat and he spoke quickly.
"where are we going?"
"Of course we are going to evacuate to my house. My house is in the upper area, and the houses there are relatively strong. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's run quickly. Although there is still enough time to broadcast the announcement, no one knows when the disaster will come.
"
Qian Chengxue said anxiously.
"Wait, come with me, I have a better refuge area."
After Su Mo finished speaking, before Qian Chengxue could react, he directly pulled Qian Chengxue and ran towards the GT department.
Qian Chengxue was stunned, but although she didn't know where Su Mo was taking her, she still followed Su Mo subconsciously.
Not long after, Su Mo took Qian Chengxue to the GT department and ran towards the G3 area.
The entire GT department is blaring sirens.
"Staff in all departments, please note that since the white hole is about to erupt, in order to prevent everyone from entering an emergency evacuation state, the GT department will activate the blockade mode in one hour and close the protective doors in each area. No special permissions will be issued at that time.
People will not be able to pass through, so everyone must enter the designated evacuation area before the lockdown mode is activated."
...
At this time, there were people rushing to evacuate everywhere, but compared to residential areas, there was no chaos here, and the evacuation progress was very orderly.
"Su Mo, are you going to the G3 area?"
Qian Chengxue looked at the direction they were running in and asked in great surprise.
"That's right."
Su Mo replied with certainty.
"But we don't have a combat mission? Aren't we all evacuating now?"
Qian Chengxue was a little confused.
"Shh, don't worry about anything, just follow me."
Su Mo turned to Qian Chengxue and made a silent gesture.
Seeing what Su Mo said, Qian Chengxue said nothing more. She believed that Su Mo would not let her down.
Soon the two came to the entrance of the G3 area.
There were still soldiers on guard here, and the leader was surprised to see Qian Chengxue and Su Mo running over.
"Sir, this place is about to be closed, and we will have to evacuate in a while."
"We know that we have things to deal with, so you don't need to worry about us."
Su Mo said nonchalantly.
"Okay, sir, please pay attention to the evacuation time."
The captain who took the lead hesitated for a while and finally nodded in agreement. After all, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue both had access rights to the G3 area.
"Thanks."
Su Mo pulled Qian Chengxue and ran inside.
Entering the G3 area, I saw a series of IV-generation biological mechas standing neatly, with countless fixed shackles blocking those IV-generation mechas. All maintenance operations were suspended, and the huge hangar was empty, with almost no one in sight.
Su Mo pulled Qian Chengxue and ran all the way, and soon they came to the huge Gluttony Mecha.
Compared to when it was first sent in, many parts of the Gluttony Mecha have been repaired, and it doesn't look so miserable.
It can be seen from this that the higher-ups are still very concerned about Su Mo's affairs.
You must know that other generation IV biological mechas started repairing earlier than the Gluttony Mecha, and the repair speed is not that fast.
"Let's go up there. The Gluttony Mecha is safer than anywhere else."
Su Mo said to Qian Chengxue.
Qian Chengxue replied dumbfounded: "But this is against the rules. We don't have combat instructions, so we can't activate the IV-generation biological mecha at will. This is against the rules and laws."
"Believe me, it'll be fine. We can just sneak up there without activating the mecha. And this mecha itself belongs to me. It's not against the rules for me to get on my own mecha."
Su Mo explained to Qian Chengxue very confidently.
"good!"
Qian Chengxue is not that kind of pedantic person.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue climbed up quickly. When they reached the chest level, Su Mo touched the hidden emergency switch and activated the physical mode of the biological cabin.
Click!
The creature cabin of the Gluttony Mecha pops up automatically and opens.
Su Mo took Qian Chengxue's hand and got into the biological cabin. After entering the biological cabin, Su Mo found the built-in switch button and closed the biological cabin again.
After doing all this, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting it done.
However, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue, who had relaxed, looked at each other inadvertently.
For a moment, both of them felt uncomfortable and subconsciously looked away.
However, the biological cabin is so big, and the two of them are so close that they can even hear each other's breathing.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Qian Chengxue lowered her head and deliberately found a topic to chat with Su Mo.
"Su Mo, do you think we can survive this crisis?"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Even if you really can't bear it, I'm still here. I will stand in front of you and block it for you."
Su Mo replied from the bottom of his heart.
"Um."
Qian Chengxue nodded heavily after hearing this.
.....
----------------------------------------
In the command room of the Black Yao, Li Ruiqi looked at the progress bar of the personnel returning, his hands clenched into fists involuntarily, and his palms were sweaty.
At this time, more than four hours have passed since the scheduled five hours, and the remaining countdown is less than thirty minutes.
However, the progress of the workers' withdrawal has only reached 63%. This was only achieved when everything was abandoned.
I really agree with what Spade said, even if I give you ten hours, I won't be able to do it.
"Sir Li Ruiqi only has half an hour left. The evacuees in the outer area are beginning to panic again. Many people have sent inquiries. Asking if there is an extension plan, because it is too late according to the remaining time."
one operator asked in panic.
"Are you kidding? Where's the extension plan? Five hours is the limit."
Before Li Ruiqi could speak, Spade replied in a deep voice. He was also afraid that Li Ruiqi would be soft-hearted.
Li Ruiqi's face was livid, he shook his head and said.
"There are no plans to extend it."
At this moment, a sharp look suddenly flashed in Augustolas's eyes, and he said to Putmi: "Putmi, please announce that the withdrawal time will be extended for another two hours."
"Lord Augustus, what are you doing?"
Putmi was shocked.
Even Li Ruiqi and Spade's expressions changed.
Augustolas said gloomily: "That's it, but after half an hour, we will leave as planned. Anyone who dares to leak any information will be killed without mercy!"
Putemi immediately realized that if the notification was made like this, at least there would be no chaos and the maximum number of people could be evacuated.
But this notice is actually a sweet poison.
Because as the notifier, he will definitely be blamed for the infamy.
"Why are you still standing there!"
Augulas glared at Putmi.
"Understood!"
Putmi gritted her teeth and replied.
Then Augustus turned to look at the operator and asked, "How about the evacuation of military personnel?"
"Most of the military personnel have evacuated, leaving only those who maintain order."
"Ask them to withdraw and announce the rotation to the outside world, and new order-maintaining personnel will take over their work."
Augustolas showed an extremely sophisticated scene at this time.
In the G3 hangar, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were sitting in the biological cabin, waiting quietly.
At this time, the radio sound suddenly sounded.
"The latest plan is that since there are still a large number of people who have not returned home, Deputy Captain Putmi of the command headquarters has made a temporary decision to extend the evacuation time by two hours..."
.....
heard this news.
Su Mo was slightly startled. What happened? Another delay?
This is different from the planned plan.
Qian Chengxue let out a long sigh of relief, and said somewhat happily: "Fortunately, if we extend the departure time and wait another two hours, more people will be saved."
"No, there's something wrong with that."
Su Mo said decisively.
"Why?"
Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo doubtfully.
"The retreat time was set by Li Ruiqi and I, and we were all quarreling over it. The first delay was a gamble, and if we delay further, we would be joking with our own lives. And please be careful.
Listen to the radio, when has Putemi been able to make such a big decision?"
Su Mo's brows were furrowed to the extreme.
"You mean this delay is fake news?"
Qian Chengxue reacted immediately.
"Other than that, there is no other possibility."
Su Mo replied with certainty.
Qian Chengxue picked up her phone and looked at the time, then said, "If we go according to the original plan, there are still twenty-seven minutes left."
"We'll find out later."
Su Mo replied with some discomfort in his heart.
In the starry sky, many civilian workers are returning home, and all of them, without exception, have received the latest information.
"Due to insufficient evacuation time, a large number of people have not evacuated. Now the Black Star's deputy captain Putmi has issued the latest order to extend the evacuation time for two hours. The Black Yao will not give up any member. May the glory of the Federation shine on everyone.
"
"Reminder, the guard team to maintain order will be rotated. During this period, any behavior that violates the order will be regarded as a violation, and serious cases will be expelled from the spacecraft. Please follow the login order and do not cause any disturbance."
The staff who were originally extremely anxious burst into cheers after seeing this message.
"I knew the Black Glory would not abandon us."
"Very good."
"It's great that I'm saved. Two hours is enough for me to get back to the ship."
"Lord Putmi is so wise."
.....
The entire regional public channel burst into excited cheers.
The initially chaotic order quickly returned to normal.
As long as there is plenty of time and everyone can survive, everyone is still willing to abide by order.
Time passes little by little.
In the command room of the Black Yao, Li Ruiqi looked at the countdown, which showed 2 minutes and 59 seconds.
2 minutes and 58 seconds!
....
Li Ruiqi waved his hand with a slightly twisted face.
"All power systems begin to output energy, and the propulsion device is ready for ignition."
Everyone present was in extremely complicated moods and began to enter various instructions.
"Start the dormant No. 2 power engine."
"The No. 2 CSW-02 nuclear fusion power engine begins to warm up."
.....
"Cutting down all unnecessary energy output."
"Lighting system turned off."
Click
In an instant, a large number of lighting facilities inside the Black Yao were turned off, and the entire day turned into night in an instant.
Every household is without power.
The people who were taking refuge were dumbfounded.
"what's the situation?"
"The gravity system is shutting down."
In an instant, everyone's bodies immediately floated...
...
At this time, the time has also entered the countdown.
10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.
2.
1.
0.
When the timer reached zero, Li Ruiqi shouted.
"Close all channels, ignite the propulsion device, and set sail!"
In the starry sky, the transport ships and mechas that were preparing to enter the Black Glory suddenly discovered entrances one after another.
Click!
Click!
...
All are closed.
At the same time, the Black Yao's tail propulsion device was ignited to the maximum, and the entire Black Yao rushed out.
Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.
The next few people who had not come in immediately realized with chills that they had been abandoned.
They were suddenly extremely desperate, and they cursed desperately on the public communication channel.
"Stop the boat, we haven't boarded the boat yet."
"We agreed to extend it by two hours..."
"You can't leave, my father is..."
...
In the command room of the Black Yao, communication requests kept popping up. Putmi turned to look at Li Ruiqi with a pale face.
Li Ruiqi looked at the communication requests one after another, and his heart felt like he was being cut by a knife.
These were all distress messages sent by his own people, but the problem was that he couldn't answer them.
Li Ruiqi could only calm down and said: "Ignore all communication requests, accelerate forward to the maximum extent, activate the energy cover, and prepare to activate the sub-light speed flight device!"
"yes!"
"Energy barrier is activated, 5%, 10%..."
"The sublight speed flight device starts to activate, 5%..."
.....
The violent acceleration immediately caused all the facilities and people inside the Black Yao to stagger around, violently collide with each other, and screams were heard everywhere.
In the gluttony mecha biological cabin, Qian Chengxue didn't notice and threw herself on Su Mo.
Su Mo quickly reached out and hugged her.
"Are you OK."
"I'm fine, but the spacecraft seems to have taken off forcefully."
Qian Chengxue said with mixed feelings in her heart.
"Yes."
Su Mo checked the time on his phone. It was no more than three hours, no less than one second. It was exactly as he guessed.
The last delay is a poisonous honey.
Of course, Su Mo more or less guessed their purpose of doing this, and there was nothing much to say.
In the starry sky, the Black Yao moved forward at an extremely exaggerated speed, completely ignoring the debris floating nearby and frantically escaping from the starry sky.
Rumble~
At that time, the entire Black Yao began to shake violently, and countless pieces of debris hit the energy barrier.
In fact, normal navigation can avoid these unnecessary collisions, but no one can care so much now.
The command room of the Black Glory.
Putmi kept reporting on the situation.
"It has successfully entered the sublight speed flight state, and the load rate of the sublight speed flight device has now reached 80%."
"Speed up more!"
Li Ruiqi continued to issue orders without hesitation.
Although he had begun to run away, he was now a little scared and his hands were shaking slightly. He was thinking about one thing, if Su Mo had not continued to insist on his opinion and not gone to investigate again.
Or maybe they didn't trust Su Mo and asked him to investigate again. Once they found out the anomaly and figured it out, they would probably have to wait to go to hell.
"We still need to speed up. Isn't this too reckless? Going too fast will cause great damage to the ship's structure and avoidance of people."
"I can't control that much."
Li Ruiqi was already planning to risk his life.
"good!"
"Keep accelerating!"
Putmi replied bravely.
At this time, Spade and Augustus did not speak during the whole process, and had no intention of interfering with Li Ruiqi's command.
Although I have already embarked on the road to escape, theoretically my tense heart can relax a little.
But when they thought of the image of the white hole sent back by Su Mo, their scalps almost exploded and they couldn't sit still. They didn't dare to be careless at all, for fear that the next second would be the end of the world for them.
Augustus still regrets a little, why did he stay for two more hours?
In the entire command room, everyone was silent, and everyone was staring at the screen.
.....
More than a day later.
Black Yao, Putmi opened her mouth to report.
"The nuclear power of No. 1 and No. 2 has caused overload, and the sublight speed flight is about to end."
"Turn off engine No. 2, turn on engine No. 3, and start sublight speed flight for the second time."
Putmi asked hesitantly while looking at the star map.
"We have escaped so far, it should be safe, right? There is no need to be so exaggerated. If we forcefully switch to a sublight speed flight device, I'm worried that it will damage the equipment."
"Just do it."
Li Ruiqi said without a doubt that although nothing happened now, everything seemed safe. But for some reason, Li Ruiqi always felt as if there were countless sharp edges piercing his back.
Putmi followed Li Ruiqi's instructions and began to direct the operator to operate.
"Begin shutting down Power Engine 2."
"Exit sublight speed flight state."
"Start Power Engine 3."
"Issue a second warning to all people and restart sublight speed flight for the second time. It will also cause strong acceleration, so everyone should be prepared for impact."
...
Soon, broadcast sounds rang out in various areas of the Black Yao.
"Dear citizens and companions, we would like to inform you that the Black Yao is switching its power system and conducting a second sublight flight. It will cause a secondary impact. Please do not leave the refuge area. Thank you for your cooperation."
.......
After hearing the broadcast, everyone on the spacecraft became more and more nervous, with panic on everyone's face.
There was no time to feel sad for the abandoned companion.
Inside the Gluttony Mecha.
Qian Chengxue felt very depressed while listening to the radio, and frowned and said to Su Mo.
"Su Mo, is the white cave really that scary? We have been flying for more than a day and we haven't escaped to the safe zone yet?"
"It's not a general horror. As for whether we have escaped to a safe area, I'm not sure, but at least we are safe for now..."
Su Mo was just halfway through his words.
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, suddenly spoke up and gave Su Mo a quick warning.
"Be careful, the white hole impact is coming!"
Su Mo's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted at Qian Chengxue.
"Sit tight, Sister Xue! The impact is coming."
At this moment, the Black Yao automatically sounded a rapid alarm sound.
In the command room, red warning boxes popped up one after another on the operation screen.
"Warning, a high-energy ray storm was detected in the starry sky behind..."
Immediately afterwards, the optical imaging device at the rear of the ship popped up the captured image.
All I could see was that the starry sky behind the black glare was completely white and nothing could be seen clearly.
Suddenly the entire starry sky was like the sun rising, night turned into day, and there was nowhere to hide.
The whole spectacle is extremely spectacular and shocking.
Everyone was also stunned.
But in their eyes, there was only endless fear.
"The impact is coming!"
Putmi roared.
"Speed up!"
Augustus shouted urgently.
Unfortunately, in the next second, the entire Black Yao was swallowed up by daylight. The command room also became a blur of white, which stung everyone so much that they could not open their eyes.
Various rays from the starry sky bombarded the Black Light's energy shield.
Boom~
The whole ship was like a small boat in a storm, shaking violently!
Everyone in the command room was staggering.
Li Ruiqi reacted immediately and roared.
"Voice command, close all optical imaging and external light source input channels."
Suddenly the light in the entire command room returned to normal.
"Warning, the energy barrier is damaged by 30%!"
"Forty percent!"
"Sixty percent"
...
The damage was almost over in just two or three seconds.
"The energy barrier is no good, it can't stand it anymore."
Putmi's eyes showed extreme fear, and she yelled uncontrollably.
The next second, the energy shield of the Black Yao suddenly shattered and turned into starlight all over the sky, and then the remaining rays bombarded the Black Yao.
Rumble~
"It's over!"
Li Ruiqi was also desperate for a moment.
The entire Black Yao completely disappeared into the white world.
...
ps: I went to a meeting and will update more tomorrow.
