Chapter 73 The Day of Farewell

The cold air filled the entire doomsday base.

The dome is covered with snow.High-intensity artificial light illuminates the interior of the base as bright as day.

At this moment, the central square was crowded with people, and tens of thousands of researchers in dark blue uniforms lined up neatly, standing around the square, surrounding the small high platform in the middle, as if they were quietly waiting for something.

Xie Jingming was wearing a neat Chinese tunic suit, standing on the high platform.He looked solemn and majestic, with a deep "Chuan" frowned between his brows, and his tall body cast a long shadow on the ground.

Behind him, there are two people standing on the left and the right, namely Qi Xiaofeng and Xiao Yi.

"The great leader is leaving too... The current central square will be the only grand occasion from now on." Lin Xu touched the blue ribbon on his right wrist and said in a low voice.

"Yes," Xu Chaomu responded, "There are fewer and fewer people."

At this moment, he was under the high platform, at the forefront of all the staff, together with others, quietly looking up at the few people on the stage.

Xie Jingming nodded slightly, raised his hand and turned on the microphone on his body.

Then, he squinted his eyes, and looked away for a moment, as if he was remembering something.

At this moment, Xu Chaomu remembered what the leader once said to him in private one day:

"...I have devoted my life to researching how to keep human beings alive under heavy snow... If I had to choose a tomb, I hope it is the vast starry sky."

When he said this, the expression on his face was exactly the same as now.

There is no difference from before.

Yes, for them, the Ark is just an illusory symbol.It may have carried the hope of all the living outside at the beginning of the end of the world, but in front of those who built them with their own hands, it always seems more real and cruel.

Xie Jingming's deep voice slowly spread throughout the central square:

"It lasted three years, and the [Twelve Arks] of the doomsday of mankind came into existence from nothing, from sailing to destruction, from destruction to departure again—it is you, with your manpower, that have gradually conquered countless things that could not have been done."

"I must say that everyone here is a true hero."

After a pause, he scanned the staff members below the stage with a majestic gaze, his frown was slightly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Then, beyond everyone's expectations, Xie Jingming bent down and bowed lightly——

"I'm honored to be working with these heroes as the end of the human race approaches."

Xu Zhaomu's body shook slightly.

After years of bad news, the Great Leader has already become the spiritual monument of all survivors in the doomsday. He stands tall and never wavers.No one thought that he would bend down and bow to everyone when he was parting.

At this moment, tears welled up in the eyes of many people in the audience.They raised their hands and wiped the corners of their eyes, quietly listening to the final speech of the great leader.

Then, Xie Jingming straightened up slowly, his smile gradually disappeared, and he said in a deep voice:

"Now, the final moment is coming, Gene and Starship Ark will set sail today, and I will leave with it.

"The remaining fighters in the base, please take an oath with me here——

"We hold the key to the continuation of human life, no matter where we are, we will fight to the last moment... We will live and die with the Ark... We will never die, never stop."

"...to live and die with Ark..."

Xu Chaomu lowered his eyelashes, and like everyone else, raised his right fist tied with a blue ribbon, repeating in a low voice.

The overlapping sound waves resounded firmly in the entire empty doomsday base.

Amidst the sound waves, nearly half of the personnel in dark blue uniforms turned around, took steps, and left the base forever.

——On this day, at the end of the ceremony, the people of Gene Ark and Starship Ark set sail.

In the Gene Ark where Qi Xiaofeng was located, all the staff members entered the bottom layer—the warm area B15, isolated themselves, and no longer had any contact with the base.

On the starship ark where Xie Jingming and Xiao Yi were located, thousands of members boarded the sophisticated "Xinsheng" super starship. Amidst the roar and shock resounding through the entire base, they broke through the heavy snow, Dragging a blue flame, it flew into the sky.

A circle of people surrounded the central square, looking up to see them off. In the electronic video relayed by Z, their former comrades-in-arms left.

Since then, the population of the base has dropped sharply, and it's getting colder day by day.

Since the night when the temperature dropped sharply, it seemed that a certain restriction valve was released by someone, and the indoor temperature dropped rapidly, leaving no time for people to react.

In the blink of an eye, the hot air exhaled from people's mouths turned white.Many people's noses are slightly red from the cold, and every time they sit in the work area for a while, they have to stand up and take two steps to avoid freezing their lower limbs.

In the end, there were only two arks left in the base and they hadn't sailed yet.

"Brother Xu, we can't hold on anymore..." One day, Lin Xu stopped Xu Chaomu hesitantly: "As of yesterday, 12 people have frozen to death in their sleep... The leader told you before ? When will we be able to enter 'homeland'?"

Every day, someone reminded him of this, urging him to lead everyone into the black box as soon as possible.

——However, Xu Zhaomu knew that the time had not yet come.

Just a little bit.

"Tomorrow." Xu Zhaomu replied in a low voice: "To ensure the normal operation of the large systems in the base, the Black Box Ark must be the last one to leave."

And he will stay at the end of everyone and be the last one to leave.
