Donald came to the door and hid sideways behind the wall beside the door, with the muzzle of the dark gun pointing obliquely outside the door.

At this time, his movements were quick and his expression was calm. It was completely impossible to tell that he was an old man who was born at the turn of the century and was nearly seventy years old. Instead, he looked like a seasoned veteran.

Usually, although there are a large number of worthless hungry people who are expelled from the living area and wait to die in isolation in the desert, there are no absolutes in the world, and there are bound to be fish that slip through the net.

Some hungry people who escaped arrest often wandered in the sewers of farms and cities. When they entered the cornfield one day, they could see those people gnawing a large piece of raw corn, lying on the ground and sleeping, and they might even die. Was attacked by hungry people in the cornfield.

In addition, it is common for hungry people to carry out various robberies.

In the past 20 years, Donald has dealt with these people almost ten times, and he has already become too proficient.

Tread...  

Footsteps gradually sounded outside the door, and it was not alone.

Donald's breathing quickened, his face flushed, and he slowly reached out to the doorknob. He planned to strike first——

The footsteps got closer until Donald confirmed that they were standing outside the door.

call!

The old man with a long gun in one hand pulled the door open vigorously, then quickly held the gun in both hands, pointed the gun at the figure outside the door, and roared loudly:

"Go away! You robbers!"

"You're welcome here in .41-inch bullets only!"

boom!

Jody raised his hands directly and fell backwards...

The local sheriff who was leading the way for Jody was stunned.

"Donald! What are you doing!? Put the gun down immediately!!!"

Half a minute later, Jody, who was sweating profusely, was supported by the sheriff and got up from the ground.

Donald didn't shoot just now, he was just frightened, and it hurts to sit on the ground.

Jody secretly rubbed his ass, which was a gain of knowledge.

The sheriff also said on the side: "Mr. Jody, you are so lucky."

It's a good thing you're white.

Otherwise, seeing Donald's vigilant posture just now, he must have shot directly...

Donald called Jody and everyone to sit in the house, apologized to Jody, and explained that his behavior just now was a normal reaction on the farm.

Because in this era, farms are very closed. In order to prevent theft of food and damage to crops, their area will be patrolled day and night, and no one with a familiar face can directly enter without acquaintances.

Jody doesn't know if this is normal. He has been living in the base and doesn't know much about the specific situation outside, but judging by the sheriff's appearance, Donald's words should not be far behind.

Anyway, let's get things done quickly.

"Where's Cooper? We're here this time to find him."

Murphy also went downstairs again, looking at the elite-looking men in black suits in front of him: "Dad is still in the field, but he's back."

Just now, her father had received a message from her on the car radio.

Definitely heading back now.

Everyone sat for a while, and Donald wanted to inquire about the identities of Jody and the others, but to no avail.

For ordinary people, even the existence of NASA is a secret, and they cannot tell others casually, not to mention that their mission this time is very special.

Not long after the silence in the room, there was a rush of cars outside. Jody expected that Cooper had returned, so he quickly got up and walked towards the gate, wanting to greet him.

then……

In the next second, he skillfully raised his hands.

This Cooper actually came in with a tube of spray!

And he wasn't the only one, his son Tom was also by his side, and these two guys each had a sprayer!

The moment he entered the door, two muzzles had already come at him!

"Calm down!"

"Cooper, I'm Donald, they are not bad people, don't be nervous!"

"father!"

The family's call made the two men, one big and one small, regain their senses, and slowly put down their guns.

"Who are you?" Cooper looked warily at the men in suits in front of him.

Jody breathed a sigh of relief, what's the matter!

Why come here today, being pointed at by a gun all the time...

"I'm your former colleague."

"Colleagues?" Cooper looked at Jody, "I don't know you, nor do I know any of you."

"So it can only be 'sort of', can we find a quiet place to talk?"

Cooper hesitated for a while, then pointed to his car parked outside: "Go there."

Jody nodded and asked others to wait for him in the house, and he and Cooper went to the car alone to discuss.

The two sat in the driver's and co-pilot's seats, one on the left and the other on the right.

"What's the matter? I've been retired for a long time." Cooper stared at Jody out of the corner of his eye. The man in the suit did have the aura of working for NASA.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Jody, and I am currently the head of NASA."

"Cooper, now a farmer."

After a brief introduction, Jody started to get down to business:

"Cooper, you must have guessed about our arrival... We have a new project now, are you still willing to fight for the future?"

"Being an astronaut again?"

"Yes, we are short of astronauts right now."

Cooper pursed his lips and remained silent. Jody's words reminded him of the old days, and he really missed his astronaut career very much.

However, not now.

Cooper shook his head and sighed: "Sorry, Mr. Jody, I am fighting for my family now. If I am missing, my family may starve to death."

After speaking, Cooper was about to get out of the car and end the conversation.

But Jody was sitting in the passenger seat, and he stopped opening the door with only one sentence:

"We've been looking for a way to save all of humanity for decades, and we've found it."

Looking at Cooper who was petrified, Jody continued: "As long as our plan succeeds, your family, my family, other people's families, and everyone on earth will be saved."

"How about it?"

"Are you interested in hearing it?"

Chapter 316 Plan C Begins

Cooper put down his hand to open the door, his lips were clenched tightly by his upper and lower teeth, and it took him a while to say: "Please speak."

"Professor Brand, do you know him?"

"Yes, I'm familiar with him." When he was on mission, Professor Brand, who was still a middle-aged man, often dangled in front of him.

Although Cooper didn't know what his job was, the two chatted from time to time, and the relationship was really good.

"It's good that you know each other. Professor Brand has been studying the gravitational equation for decades..."

Jody slowly said Plan A.

Cooper didn't come back to his senses after listening to it for a long time, and it took a while to sort out his thoughts, "That is to say, you have built a secret base and want to change the gravity, while exploring the new galaxy opposite the wormhole, so that all human beings will be Leaving the earth and going to live on the other side of the habitable planet?"

"Yes, you summed it up very well."

"How is the plan now? Is there any hope of success?"

Cooper continued to ask, he thought he would hear good news, but to his surprise, Jody shook his head.

"Unfortunately, Plan A has been abandoned by us."

Cooper:? ? ?

"Because we don't need a plan A anymore, we're working on a plan C."

"why?"

"Because Plan C has a better chance of success, and it's safer, faster, and more efficient than Plan A."

"If Plan A has to wait until your daughter is an old man, Plan C will allow your daughter to go to college on a new planet."

Jody spoke with confidence.

Cooper wondered why the two plans diverged so much: "May I have a look at Plan C?"

"No," Jody shook his head. "This is top-secret content. I can reveal this plan to you because you may be helpful to us."

"..."

The conversation in the car came to a standstill.

It took Jody a long time before he found another topic.

It is about the sharp decline of plants on the earth, which leads to the reduction of oxygen on the earth, and the complete disappearance of forests and grasslands, which greatly reduces the photosynthesis of plants.

In particular, algal plants in the ocean, the main source of the earth's oxygen, have been affected by the blight and completely extinct.

This means that the earth in the future will fall into a desperate situation of lack of oxygen.

Can't grow, can't breathe.

For humans, this is completely hopeless.

And this situation is expected to happen in the next few decades. If Murphy and Tom can live longer, they should be able to see this scene...

"All right!"

"No more." Cooper rubbed his head in pain. "How soon can I go home?"

"...don't know," Jody didn't lie. "We expect Plan C to be implemented quickly and then to be successful, but we can't guarantee how soon you'll be able to go home."

Cooper inquired carefully about the fastest estimated time to return home.

Jody replied that it was like three or four years.

After a long silence, Cooper finally agreed to Jody's proposal and decided to participate in Plan C.

Jody followed his gaze and looked at the warm hut in front of him, feeling a little guilty all of a sudden: "You still have a chance to regret it now, Plan C is a bit special, we may have to bear a lot of pressure that we would never have endured before..."

Cooper couldn't understand the depth of the words.

But he knew that he was going out this time to save Murphy, Tom, Donald, and everyone else.

……

Cooper's departure did not go well.

No matter whether it is Murphy or Tom, even father-in-law Donald, no one wants the pillar of the family to leave like this.

Even if Cooper violated the regulations and secretly revealed his mission to them, telling them that he was going to save the world, he did not obtain the consent of his family.

In the end, Tom and Donald accepted the reality silently, while Murphy hid in the room angrily, unwilling to even come out to say goodbye.

Cooper sighed, and after explaining the details of the farm's planting and operation to Tom, he followed Jody into the car.

"Don't worry too much, Plan C will succeed soon, maybe you will come back soon, or you will meet them directly on the new planet."

Jody smiled reassuringly.

Cooper also squeezed out a smile, but he felt that what Jody said was too ideal.

Even he has been paralyzing himself with the most ideal ending.

The car drove through the barren mountains, all the way back to NASA's secret base.

At this time, the base was bustling like never before.
