Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 119: The Prophetic Land (V)

After the central control room in the Seventh Space Station collapsed, the infection spread rapidly. The soldiers who entered the station in an attempt to suppress the infected population never returned, either dying or becoming infected. Through the night, there were thunderous cries of terror, gunshots, and screams traveling out from the area. The people living near the area were shivering in their quilts. The emergency evacuation started in the Seventh Space Station before dawn.

However, less than three hours after the evacuation began, the whole station was sealed off. Those who didnt have time to escape in their spaceships were trapped in the docking bay, and they crowded at the bridge like a group of ants surrounded by fire. A sense of panic weighed upon their minds. They knew in their hearts that once the station was sealed off, it was impossible for the government to lift the order. They were left here to die, or until they all turned into terrifying monsters.

The children hid in their parents arms and cried, while the elderly opened their wandering eyes and sobbed quietly. There were angry people who talked to the soldiers stationed far away from the docking bay, asking them whether the government did not care about them. The soldiers simply looked coldly at everything beneath their feet and did not intend to intervene. Naturally, they knew that these people were doomed to die. It was useless to show sympathy to them because it would only cause pain to the soldiers.

As people grew older, they would better understand the concept that to live long in this universe, one must know how to properly protect oneself. Otherwise, they would only invite trouble to themselves, just like those who want to be a hero. This was because people would usually go missing before they became heroes.

At this time, Ethan stood at the top of the building in the central control room, looking down at the streets filled with black tides. The wind blew the hair on his forehead, covering his green eyes. Behind him, several huge tentacles were dancing lazily like silk threads. He saw that the outer wall of the isolation area was already covered with black humanoid insects, which rushed over the blockade and headed for a wider area.

In the building beneath his feet, those soldiers were still waiting for his orders. They had no choice in the encirclement of death. They could only obey him, leading him to the central control room to open all of the prison doors and release all the infected peopleor rather, the new human species.

Human beings created by him.

Ethan looked at the crowded city in the distance, but he didnt feel the sense of pride a monarch would have when they looked at the world. On the contrary, his heart was still empty.

Why didnt he dream about the man in black anymore? Why did he disappear when Ethan wanted to find him?

Could it be that Ethan had to go to Earth to find him?

Suddenly, a soldier poked his head out from the ladder leading downstairs and told him that the government wanted to negotiate with him.

Ethan concealed his tentacles and climbed down the ladder. On the large screen in the control room, a well-dressed female Alpha, about 60 years old, was facing him. He had seen this person on TV before. She was one of the top ten members of the states Council, Latifa Aguda, and had a military background.

Ethan was surprised that one of the most powerful people in the country would be willing to talk to him.

Ethans smile faded. He said, I want to see my father.

We can do that, as long as you make your pets go back where they should be and surrender to us.

What are you going to do with them?

Them?

The infected people.

Ah. She seemed to be a little surprised by his question. Maybe she didnt expect that he would be concerned about the lives of those infected people. They will continue to be kept in the isolation area. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will soon be able to produce an antidote to treat them. In the name of members of the state council of the Earth Union, I assure you that they will never be harmed.

Ethan was not very convinced and said, But from what I saw, you are burning them individually?

There was a management error in the Seventh Space Station. There is no such barbarism in other areas, she spoke without hesitation as if the absolute truth was revealed from her lips adorned with elegant lipstick.

However, Ethan didnt believe her. He knew that when the Tenth Space Station was cordoned off, at least tens of thousands of people didnt escape. They were trapped in the place, slowly eroded by the second law of the universe, and their life and death were unknown. In the face of the crisis, the Earth Unions government had always been fierce. Although cruel, they could control the danger to the largest extent, so they wouldnt make an exception for this place. Once he agreed, the government would not risk releasing people who may be infected, nor would they be interested in taking the time to screen non-infected people. They would destroy the entire space station and block out all information, as if the Seventh Space Station never existed.

Whether he agreed or not, the Seventh Space Station was gone.

Therefore, he shook his head slowly.

No, I wont give up here.

Aguda narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly, Then youd better prepare a tombstone for your father now!

Ethan laughed, and the smile appeared strange in the cold light of the screen. One person once told me that in extreme chaos, the boundary between life and death will be blurred, and both the dead and living will meet. Im not afraid of death because I know I can bring the dead back to me.

Aguda seems to be surprised by his words. The Earth Union must have investigated him for a long time to know how important his father meant to him. They never thought he would say such arrogant words.

You think you can bring the dead back to life?

Not yet, but I will, Ethan said flatly, Since you got the God of Orders eggs from the Eves, you should know something about the gods of Disorder and Order they believe in, right?

There seemed to be a trace of disdain in Agudas eyes, so Ethan let a dozen tentacles full of terrifying organs bloom slowly behind him, like a black dahlia. He saw the change in expression from her, from bewilderment and surprise to fear. Around him, the soldiers were already cowering in the corner, afraid of being touched by his tentacles.

I am evidence of the existence of the God of Disorder, evidence of the existence of the Great Evil God. If you dare to touch a hair on my fathers head, I will let all ten members of your states council be buried along with him, Ethan said in a casual tone, but the more casual he spoke, the more others felt that they shouldnt belittle his words.

She glared at him for a moment and finally said, You can keep the Seventh Space Station. However, you have to make sure that those who are infected are not allowed to leave the Seventh Space Station. Otherwise, we will immediately take extraordinary measures to ensure that the infection will not spread further.

Ethan thought about it and said, I can do that.

At the same time, you have to come to the Fifth Space Station alone in three days, if you want to see your father again.

And that was the end of the call.

Ethan turned to look at the pale soldiers. It seems that the leaders youre loyal to are not going to save you. If you want to live, then youd better obediently listen to me.

The soldiers of the Earth Union quickly withdrew from the Seventh Space Station, leaving behind a group of panicked civilians. There were no spaceships that could travel to space, as all the ships had been seized by the army. They were isolated on an island, and Ethan knew that the Earth Union would not keep its promise and that a nuclear strike would soon descend.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the civilians fled back to their homes, hoping that they could survive. Behind the tightly drawn curtains, they saw a dense swarm of giant insects crawling slowly across the building and the street. They had to cover their mouths with their hands in order not to scream. Strangely enough, the humanoid worms did not try to break into their houses, but rushed to the center of the space station.

At the end of the road, a huge black bug appeared. It was three stories tall and as long as a football field. If one looked at it carefully, one would find that it was a super black insect composed of thousands of individual black insects. Their bodies were twisted and integrated. Ethan stood on top of their heads, rising and falling slowly with the worms wriggling. He felt pairs of eyes peeping at him from behind the curtain, filled with both fear and awe.

In the center of the space station was a large nuclear reactor supporting the operation of the whole space station. In the huge cylindrical building, blue flames of death were fiercely burning.

These stations had been in the universe for too long, especially in older regions like the Seventh Space Station. Everyone had been flying in a fixed orbit for a long time, forgetting that when the space station was first sent into space, they left the earth in a large spacecraft. After reaching the designated orbit speed, the station stopped cruising, and a magnificent city was built on its foundation. Ethan naturally knew about this. After all, the Energy Bureau had to replenish energy for the major space stations on a regular basis. It was just that this spaceship was too old. If it was launched rapidly, it would lead to the disintegration of the whole space station.

However, they couldnt just let the space station stay on its orbit path and allow it to be attacked, right?

Ethan was not familiar with driving a spaceship, so he simply found an emergency radio communication tower near the nuclear reactor, which was built for the purpose of emergency evacuation in case there was an explosion. Here, every piece of information he sent out would quickly be transmitted to every screen of every home with the highest priority and permission levels.

Everyone on the Seventh Space Station, listen carefully. If you want to survive, please come to the central building of the space station as soon as possible. Dont bring your luggage, as theres limited space here.

His voice rang in every house, and people looked at the pair of green eyes on the screen in silence. At least one-fifth of the Lord Graces Associations believers recognized him almost immediately.

The Great Evil God descended!!! someone yelled in the street, The prophecy of the great teacher has come true! The end of the Milky Way is arriving!!!

Amid these hysterical cries, the scent of panic lingered in the air.

Ethan sat comfortably in front of the screen in the radio tower, one leg cocked over the other and his hands folded over his abdomen. He said slowly, As long as you dont disobey me, I wont hurt any of you. I estimate that a nuclear strike will arrive within a few hours. If we are still on this path of orbit at that time, we will all die. Therefore, a few of my friends from the military have now entered the core area of the space station to try to restart the flight function. At that time, we will get rid of most of the buildings in the space station and fly to a safer area, so if you want to survive, come to the central building immediately.

T/N: Happy mid-autumn festival, everyone!
