Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"The course has been corrected, Ness."

Ness sat quietly in the captain's seat, looking at the normal values ​​on the screen, and breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was busy.

The video communication two hours ago made everyone move. Everyone understood that they had no way out.

Ness was in a bad mood. That guy Bernal launched a change. Although Ness had long noticed that Bernal was planning something secretly, he didn't expect that he actually did it.

"Is it really okay to leave it to me to take command? Ms. Luo Lin?"

Ness asked again to confirm, and Luo Lin nodded beside her. Her eyes were still a little red. She had cried many times during this period, and no one expected that Corgi would do such a thing.

Corgi, Zet and the other four are now in the confinement room, and the captain's body has been frozen.

After going back, all six of them had to accept punishment. Ness looked at the tired people around him who were going to rest. For more than two hours, everyone had almost no communication except work communication.

It's completely different from when the captain was here in the past. You can always hear laughter in the captain's room, and everyone works in a more relaxed atmosphere.

"Asgard sent a message!"

A crew member said, and everyone looked at Nais. He hesitated for a while and then pressed the call button.

"Good evening, Mr. Captain."

"Hello, Mr. Nigel."

Nais spoke, and the other person fell silent for a moment, before Nais added.

"Captain Lou Nan is in ill health and cannot support such a long voyage. I'm sorry, Mr. Nigel."

As Ness spoke, a burst of hearty laughter came from the intercom.

"I remember Mr. Lou Nan is in good health. Are you the captain now, Mr. Nice?"

"Yes, I am the acting captain!"

Many people in the captain's room looked serious. Nigel had talked to them many times and was a relatively tactful person.

In many conversations, everyone noticed that the man who claimed to be the general of the Second Asgard Army rarely mentioned the specific situation in Asgard. Instead, they basically told them everything. , told the other party about the situation of the Mars base.

It was Gable and other base directors who led this conversation. Ness always felt that it was inappropriate, but there was nothing he could do about it. Asgard's technology far exceeded that of the Mars base.

"So has your schedule changed?"

"That's not true. Everything remains the same Mr. Nigel. We will arrive in Asgard at the end of October."

The other party laughed and started talking about other things. Nais just responded casually.

But there was one thing that Ness had always wanted to confirm, because he had heard his father talk about it before, and people from Asgard told them that there were other countries on the earth.

Ness felt it was incredible. Judging from some disaster documents sent by Asgard, during the catastrophe that destroyed all civilized countries, those who survived would basically die as the environment continued to deteriorate. .

"By the way, Mr. Nigel, I want to ask you a question."

"Say it, Mr. Nice!"

Ness asked after hesitating for a moment.

"I heard my father mention it in the past. Mr. Nigel, you once said that there are other countries on the earth. Is this true?"

"Ah, it's true. Currently we have established connections with two countries on Earth, one is called Brilliant City, and the other is called the United World."

Ness was a little surprised. Many people in the captain's room heard the same thing, and there were actually two kingdoms.

"It should be a relatively small city-state."

"No! The population of Brilliant City is at least 30 million, while the population of the United States of the World exceeds 400 million."

Ness opened his mouth wide and looked at the intercom in disbelief, and Nigel laughed.

"We have been closed to each other for too long, haven't we? It's time for the world to be connected again. I'm looking forward to this meeting. Captain Ness, I wish you a smooth journey. I have something to do here, so I'll arrive first today. Here it is.”

11:03 pm

After returning to the room, Ness couldn't calm down for a long time. Jennifer had already gone to bed early. Ness sat quietly next to the small round table, holding the wine glass with one hand. The hand holding the wine glass could not help shaking. With.

Ness felt terrible. Now Ness was vaguely thinking about why Bernal was so anxious to initiate changes without leaving any room for change. He even did not hesitate to threaten the families of all the Visitor's crew members to make them The task must be completed.

"Is it really going to happen, war!"

Bernal has mentioned this before. He clearly said that if they don't prepare anything, the Mars base will definitely be invaded in the future. Once the other party launches an invasion, they may not be able to survive even one day. Able to surrender and become a slave.

Ness felt terrible. In addition to communication, the most important thing during their visit was to obtain some advanced technologies. This was something everyone discussed at the beginning. No matter what method was used, they must get something that can be applied. technology.

"What's wrong? Go to sleep quickly. Don't you have to get up at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning?"

When his wife woke up, Ness hummed, drank the wine in the glass, and looked at his wife with worried eyes.

"Don't worry. Father and Fila are fine. The same goes for Ike. Even if that guy Bernal launches a change, it won't hurt them. I understand his character."

Throughout the day today, Nais knew that his wife was worried about the situation at home. Looking at his wife's thoughts, Nais got up and walked over. After sitting down, he pressed his wife's shoulders comfortingly.

"On the contrary, what are you worried about?"

"This journey will not go smoothly, and the same goes for this mission."

Jennifer hummed.

The six people imprisoned are all maintenance personnel of the spacecraft exhaust equipment. They have to be released tomorrow at most, but something like that has happened before. This is unacceptable to all the crew members, but they have to Let them out.

The current Defender is like a piece of loose sand. Without Lou Nan's existence, no one is worthy of trust. It's just because Ness holds the control authority code of the spacecraft, so everyone is only in harmony on the surface.

Ness took out a small pistol from his arms, and Jennifer's eyes showed fear. He put the pistol under Jennifer's pillow.

"My dear, carry it with you every day at work just in case. Many people may not be able to wait as long as three months."

Jennifer found it hard to accept, but nodded anyway.
