"So ignorance is indeed the greatest tragedy—well, there's no point in explaining it to you, stop bothering me now, Yita, take him away. If you want to leave, you can go now, but of course, I don't have a spare shuttle at hand."
"I said stop it."
"Sir, please."
The fat man wanted to say something more, but Yita forcefully escorted him away without a doubt that the people around Blade Warrior were no simple characters. Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, the fat man could only curse and make his way back to the room that had been temporarily arranged for him, naturally, he also asked about everyone's plans going forward.
Yita expressed ignorance about the matter, knowing only that they were going to eliminate the Bizarre, or rather, it was a reconnaissance mission. She was not in the habit of prying, so she knew no more than that about Mr. Blade Warrior's plans.
But then Kexiao was spotted, hands clasped on his shoulders, leaning casually not far away in the corridor, lost in thought. As he passed by, Kexiao gave him a meaningful glance and said, "If you want to leave, you can try this." Saying that, Kexiao tossed an item over...
Zhang Xiaobo caught the item in a fluster, and upon examining it, he realized it was the Light Transmission Device, "Bro, what do you mean by this..."
Kexiao explained, "This is a Light Transmission Device leading to Saudi. I'm not sure if it will be affected by the Bizarre interference, but you can give it a try if you want to leave."
Zhang Xiaobo never expected that this leader of a once hostile force would be so kind: "You, you must have some kind of ulterior motive." His comical expression was quite guarded.
"Heh, if you don't trust me, you can give it back."
"But why would you give this to me?"
Kexiao looked at Zhang Xiaobo with an increasingly bizarre gaze, "There are not so many 'whys' in the world."
Zhang Xiaobo looked at the Light Transmission Device, then back at Kexiao's handsome face, shaking his head, "I still don't believe it."
"Suit yourself," Kexiao wasn't overly fixated on the matter, his indifferent tone carried an indefinable emotion, "What we are going to face next is extremely dangerous, it could be a matter of life and death."
"If that's the case, why are you guys so intent on going to this godforsaken barren planet?"
Yita interrupted him, "Mr. Zhang Xiaobo, this is a calamity for all mankind; no one can survive alone, whether it's you, me, or His Excellency Kexiao standing to the side. I can tell you frankly, the reason for the human migration project is to get away from the 'Bizarre.' Bizarre radiation magnetic fields pose a threat to over 99.992% of known life forms, changing the structure of DNA molecules resulting in DNA being unable to replicate, leading to programmed cell death. It is a form of life that cannot be explained by existing theories."
Yita's explanation left Zhang Xiaobo utterly horrified, "Then why the hell are you going? Isn't that seeking death?"
"Biomagnetic fields can cause unknown atomic structures of 'Bizarre' to undergo fission, which in simple terms means weakening the Bizarre. This is the only known method of weakening it that we currently have. Unfortunately, ordinary people can't come into contact with it. We still have a glimmer of hope if we go now, but as the Bizarre continues to grow stronger, this sliver of hope will become increasingly slim."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaobo seemed to understand, his gaze filled with a hint of respect, but he still advised, "Guys, pull back. It's not too late to leave now. No one understands the terror of the Bizarre better than I do. Military forces from all over the world can't destroy it; how can we few manage?"
Even the intelligent Yita was rendered speechless by Zhang Xiaobo's words, "I've said, the Bizarre can't be explained with existing physics; it's not about the number of people. Even if you brought a hundred times more troops, it would be futile if the method is wrong."
"Then do you few have any confidence?"
"None."
Well then, I'd better scram while I can. As much as he respected the determination of everyone, he was not prepared to die for his country that greatly. With that in mind, Zhang Xiaobo started to activate the Light Transmission Device... pressing and pressing, but damned if anything happened.
"Why is this happening?"
"It's too late, the shuttle is about to land, and the area around us is filled with 'Bizarre' magnetic fields, making Quantum Entanglement ineffective."
Kexiao's casual voice sent Saudi into a cold panic, his heart turning chillingly cold.
Damn it! Why didn't you say this earlier, Kexiao is screwing us over, but on second thought, Zhang Xiaobo sensed something was amiss and urgently said: "If the Light Transmission Device is ineffective, then why isn't our shuttle affected by the interference?"
"The shuttle's surface is equipped with a magnetic field isolation device by Blade Warrior, capable of maximizing the protection against the 'Bizarre' interference."
So that's what was going on—Saudi's facial expressions changed from despair to hope, and back to despair again. As the shuttle was about to land, what should he do?
"I don't want to die, I really don't want to die, please save me." Zhang Xiaobo clutched onto Yita's leg and burst into a combination of tears and snot, bemoaning the fact that one should live as a hero and die as a legend, yet he couldn't accept such a stifling way to die.
At this moment, Kexiao's facial expression was also quite interesting, after many years of warfare, he hadn't realized that this pilot from the Normandy fleet, Red Cloak, was so afraid of death.
Just then, a sudden tremor shook the interior of the shuttle, and quickly returned to calm, indicating that the shuttle had landed on the deserted and uninhabited Twin Planet A.
Simultaneously, Blade Warrior and his companions stepped out of the Hibernation Cabin one after another. Their faces carried an indescribable gravity. Zhang Xiaobo couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis for no apparent reason.
Sky Shadow glanced at Blade Warrior and frowned, "Are you sure the 'Bizarre' is nearby?"
"Yes, based on the magnetic field intensity, we can roughly determine the 'Bizarre' is now about 20 kilometers to the south of us. I did not dare to keep the shuttle too close."
Sky Shadow, hearing this, said no more and strode out of the shuttle... Blade Warrior followed closely behind, then came Mengdie and Iman.
Kexiao then looked at Zhang Xiaobo: "If you don't want to make contact with it, you can choose to stay here."
"Why always me?"
"Uh... aren't you very wary of that thing?" Kexiao suddenly remembered something, halted his initial step, and said, "Assuming we don't return within the hour, you should withdraw immediately."
"Withdraw immediately?"
"Yes, under normal circumstances, even our endurance wouldn't last for several hours of continuous combat..."
The unspoken implication from Kexiao was twofold.
The first possibility: everyone fails to defeat the Bizarre, resulting in either all dying in battle or some other unforeseen circumstance.
The second possibility: for some reason, they are unable to return to the warship and escape through other means. After all, Kexiao wouldn't believe that Blade Warrior had no backup plan. If they didn't return for several hours, Saudi's continued waiting would only increase the danger.
In the blink of an eye, even Kexiao had left, leaving Saudi alone in the empty shuttle, which somehow felt even more sinister.
Screw it, if I'm going to die, then so be it. Without hesitation, Saudi quickly changed into a protective suit and dashed out of the shuttle, reasoning that staying alone in the shuttle is less safe than being with the group.
Just as he stepped off the lift and onto the land of Twin Planet A, the scene before Saudi took his breath away...
He knew only a few had been saved by the military, while the majority perished here, in this cage pulsing with radioactive substances. But the scene before him was not the same Twin Planet he remembered. At least in his memory, the temperature during the day on Twin Planet was much cooler than it was now, the environment had also significantly changed.
Now, looking ahead... the vast land lay blood-red, as if a lifeless hell, the oncoming stench of decay assaulted his nostrils. The scorched wasteland seemed imprinted with a layer of blood-red, the radiation-polluted hills and plains bereft of life, the ground twisted with steaming currents, and beyond the rotting corpses scattered in the distance, no other signs of life could be seen. Only the howling winds swept through, like an apocalyptic wasteland.
What the hell is this place? Startled to his core, Saudi jumped as though he had stepped on a rabbit's tail and made a beeline to catch up with the group ahead.
