Chapter One, A New Hope
For the Human Star Sea Civilization, this is the last night of the Shattered Night Star humans!
The long darkness that lasted forty years, on this night, seems to have returned to the night scenes of lights that could be seen before the catastrophe.
The moment the huge engine sound rang out, the human counterattack was also declared to begin.
All the firepower on the entire planet poured out simultaneously.
The torrential firepower seemed to tear apart the darkness that had covered Shattered Night Star for nearly half a century.
At the same time, twenty starships also began to gather momentum and ascend.
With unwavering determination, just like the code name of this campaign, 'Choice!'
This is the last self-rescue of the Shattered Night Star humans, and also the last hope of the entire Northern Border Star System.
Inside the underground interstellar base, soldiers wearing tattered interstellar fleet uniforms shouted hoarsely, 'Squeeze in a little more, get two more up there!
Quick!'
The soldier desperately pushed the men and women in front of him into the starship.
But no matter how hard he tried, the long queue still didn't shorten.
And the huge explosions on the surface, the engine sounds in the sky, never stopped.
On the ground, from the observation post, it was clear to see.
The twenty starships that had rushed into the sky had already begun a fierce battle.
But under the torrential firepower falling from the high altitude.
This last fleet of Shattered Night Star couldn't even break through the atmosphere.
They could only move slowly in the low-dimensional space under the atmosphere, desperately resisting the violent light waves falling down.
Amidst the sky full of light waves, a Galaxy-class starship that was dodging was directly hit.
The huge hull was directly broken into two pieces, and after falling, it crashed into the vast ice sea in the north of the planet.
Under the impact of the huge hull, the calm ice sea directly raised waves of ten thousand feet.
Firelight, hull wreckage, fractured ice layers and glaciers, huge explosions, and countless trails of tracer fire.
These sights filled the air, which should have been pure and cold, with the smell of ash and dust.
And in such a tragic battle, on the Temple Square in the very center of Shattered Night Star!
The last hundred Temple Warriors held their swords in their hands and slashed their palms without hesitation.
As the blade passed, blood gushed out instantly, dripping onto the realistic sun and moon reliefs on the square floor.
As the blood fell, a faint golden pressure emanated from the temple in the center of the square.
This is the power unique to the gods, a divine power that transcends technology and all things in nature.
It is so powerful that it can reverse the heavens and change the day and night.
But it requires the price of death as an exchange.
Sacrificing oneself to offer to the heavens, in order to obtain the powerful power of the gods to break the balance of all things.
And this is also the last hope of Shattered Night Star.
For the humans of Shattered Night Star, in this last battle, everyone paid all their efforts.
As the pressure from the temple spread and expanded, the dark sky also seemed to thin out.
When the huge golden light pillar rose from the top of the temple and pierced the heavens and earth.
A space black hole of immeasurable diameter appeared in the golden light.
If viewed from space, perhaps one could glimpse the other side through the fluctuating rift.
There, one could faintly see twinkling stars.
As the temple was filled with golden light, the underground interstellar base also received the final order.
Orders to prohibit boarding and prepare for departure were transmitted to every corner.
Hearing the order, the already prepared army soldiers no longer cared about the people still queuing, who had not boarded the ship.
They fell silent and began to close the passage gates.
Seeing the gates close, the queue that had been able to maintain order immediately fell into chaos.
Countless people cried and rushed forward, trying to board the ship to escape.
But the prepared soldiers did not hesitate, quickly starting to intercept with firepower.
The soldiers showed no mercy in suppressing the crowd's rush.
Their firearms spat fire, bullets rained down on the crowd.
Blood and screams rose and fell, but the soldiers did not hold back.
They shot silently until the crowd dared not attack the gates.
These troops, who should have protected the people,
At this time, showed no mercy to their protected.
In fact, they didn't say a word more, didn't give a warning.
But under such seemingly cold-blooded actions, tears constantly rolled down the eyes of every soldier.
For them, they had to ensure the timely takeoff of the starships.
And this is the last hope of the humans of Shattered Night Star.
If the ships do not take off on time, all the efforts of the planet tonight will be in vain.
Therefore, for the continuation of survival, they can only do this.
None of the soldiers participating in the guard left their posts. While extinguishing the lives of these people, they also left themselves on this planet.
The ships ignited and ascended on time, and in the roar, huge transport ships slowly flew out of the ground, towards the space black hole that appeared in the sky.
In the broadcast throughout the heavens and earth, the broadcaster's voice began to broadcast.
'This is Shattered Night Star Supreme Command, now broadcasting to all members of the planet, a final report!'
'In the past six hours, all the humans of Shattered Night Star have experienced the most difficult survival choice in history!'
'With the dedication and sacrifice of the six million military personnel on the entire planet, we have finally opened a space black hole of unknown coordinates.'
'And we have sent forty transport ships, totaling more than 400,000 people, as well as civilization-related information and technology into the black hole.'
'This is the last self-rescue of Shattered Night Star, and also the last hope of the planet!'
'Since the arrival of the Star Storm forty years ago, the invasion of the Abyss evil forces began.'
'All humans in the Northern Border Star Region have resisted for forty years.
In forty years, the planets of North*, **, and ** have fallen one after another.'
'Shattered Night Star has always resisted and looked forward to support and assistance from other human star systems.'
'But unfortunately, under the Star Storm, we did not persist until the dawn.'
'Today, Shattered Night Star has no possibility of continuing to persist!'
'Therefore, we have launched this unknown plan called 'Choice', hoping that those who leave can obtain new life and hope.'
'Now, the Supreme Command will issue the final order!'
'Facing the army of the Abyss, the Supreme Command decided to resist to the end, and will never compromise!'
'Here, the Command salutes every warrior who participated in the war. You are all heroes of humanity, we remember it in our hearts, and we are proud of you!'
'After the broadcast, all members of the Supreme Command will also pick up their weapons and join the final battlefield!'
'We believe that the compatriots who leave will shoulder all our hopes, happiness, and a good life.'
'Finally, once again salute all those who have contributed in this catastrophe!'
'The sun, moon, and stars still exist, human civilization will last forever, we have never compromised!'
'Broadcast completed, goodbye!'
In the broadcast, in a deep underground military base.
Rudoden quietly stared at Lin Ning, slowly opened the wine bottle on the table, and filled two glasses.
'There are no other ceremonies, let's say goodbye after drinking this glass!'
Lin Ning looked at the glass, smiled slightly, raised it and drank it down, and hugged his old friend.
'Thank you for your help all these years, I hope that when we meet again, we will still be the same as before!'
'Remember to take a look at the cornflower for me, I haven't seen it for many years!'
Rudoden's voice was a little choked, his eyes fell on the photo on the wall.
There, in the pure white cornflower garden, a group of young people stood straight.
Among them, one could faintly see the similar eyebrows of Rudoden and Lin Ning.
'Yes, hope will always be there!
I believe that the future us will definitely meet again!'
Lin Ning let go of his friend who had known each other for thirty years, said goodbye to his old friend for the last time, and then resolutely turned and walked towards the deepest part of the passage.
There, is his mission.
Also, another self-rescue of Shattered Night Star.
