Therefore, this is not the future of humanity!
Humans need energy, but now that we have the ability to travel in outer space and mine other celestial bodies, why are we still lacking energy?
It's just that politicians and capitalists are monopolizing the market.
They don't care about the lives of others; otherwise, why would there be war in this interstellar age?
Of course, it's also possible that these humans have already been influenced by the divine seal...
So he went crazy.
Therefore, no matter what, Hiroto wanted to destroy the divine seal on the Ishimura.
Although he could only destroy this one divine seal, divine seals might also exist on other planets, and even the first divine seal, a huge black divine seal, might exist on Earth.
But those things were beyond Hongren's control.
He was powerless; all he could do now was destroy the divine seal on the Stone Village, along with the corpse variants on it.
Therefore, the safest option is to head towards the sun!
Perhaps only the scorching heat of the sun can successfully destroy the divine seal...
Hongren looked at the globe beside him, and a wave of longing washed over him.
His father is still on Earth waiting for him to come home.
Earth, oh Earth...
Hongren didn't know why he missed Earth so much.
It is clearly just a planet whose ecology has been destroyed and whose mineral resources have been depleted due to human development.
But why do I miss him so much?
"Hongren...Hongren..."
In my mind, that urgent yet gentle voice continued to whisper.
And the Ishimura was not far from the sun.
The intense heat of the sun had already turned the Ishimura red, and its structure had begun to melt.
"Hiroto...Hiroto."
Hongren knew he was about to die, so he tried to respond to the voice calling to him.
Since I'm going to die anyway, even if I respond to that whisper and become a necromancy, it won't matter, right...?
Moreover, that voice was clearly very gentle.
Everyone else said they heard some mystical phrases like "reunion."
But what I heard was clearly someone's call, an incredibly gentle and expectant call.
So, in the final moments of his life, Hiroto reached out his hand to respond to that voice.
The Ishimura was torn apart by the sun's powerful gravity, and countless necromancy variants burned and evaporated in the sun's flames.
But a light appeared before Hongren's eyes.
"That's... the Möbius Ring!"
A dazzling Möbius ring appeared before Hongren.
Moreover, it was accompanied by a voice of anxiety and anticipation.
"Hongren...this time—"
"I will definitely save you!"
Chapter 125 Extra Penworm
Isaac Clark.
An engineer.
This time, I and several other teammates were responsible for investigating the disappearance of the Ishimura.
However, before the rescue team even reached the Ishimura, they saw from afar that after launching several escape pods, the Ishimura started up again.
But the Ishimura, once restarted, headed in the direction of the sun.
Because of this incident, some scheming individuals in the rescue team wanted to use the excuse that "the Ishimura has been hijacked by terrorists" to force their way onto the Ishimura and enter it.
But Isaac isn't the kind of person who would go looking for trouble right now.
Instead, he directly contacted several escape pods launched from the Ishimura, which is how he obtained information from inside the Ishimura.
And luckily, Isaac's girlfriend happened to be one of the survivors as well.
Dr. Kane then recounted the history of the Ishimura.
From arriving at Aegis-7, transporting the Red Seal to the Ishimura, to the outbreak of a zombie infection on Aegis-7, and finally the infestation of the last infected on the Ishimura.
Then Dr. Kane mentioned the brave and intelligent young man.
It was his calm control of the facilities inside the Ishimura that allowed them to escape. Although many people died along the way, at least some people survived.
Then, the young man chose to pilot the Ishimura toward the sun, intending to destroy the divine seal.
"I don't know if he did the right thing, after all, humanity needs unlimited energy... but that young man was wholeheartedly trying to help us all."
After the old man finished speaking, he fainted.
After all, he was quite old, and he was exhausted from escaping inside the Shicun ship.
Meanwhile, Isaac started using the communicator to chat with his girlfriend.
Asking all sorts of questions.
But the others ignored it.
The survivors of the Ishimura have escaped and are now resting, waiting to be automatically returned to Earth in their escape pods.
Meanwhile, the rescue team was still discussing whether or not to board the Ishimura.
After all, their mission was to investigate the Ishimura, not to rescue these people, and these survivors no longer needed their help, right?
These conversations became topics of discussion between Isaac and his girlfriend.
However, on the escape pod, a young soldier who was grieving nearby vaguely heard Isaac talking to his girlfriend.
He was grieving for the people of Hong.
He was just an unsung soldier, responsible for protecting the captain.
Although this kind of job is already a position that countless people can only dream of.
However, after today, he suddenly understood many things.
When facing death, no identity matters.
He wasn't a good person, but he wasn't that bad either.
Like most people, he used his position to extort and demand bribes, and gained many benefits.
But they won't push others to the brink. They don't ask for bribes or favors; it's mostly small things like cigarettes and alcohol. They rarely take money.
Who would bribe an ordinary private?
Even if you offered him a bribe, he wouldn't dare accept it!
Today, he witnessed true death.
The entire Ishimura became a complete hell.
The warehouse was filled with severed limbs, blood, and internal organs.
Perhaps this is what hell looks like in legend.
He survived!
He survived that hell!
But he survived not because of his own abilities, but because of that young man, because of Hiroto Saka.
He was a soldier, so he subconsciously focused on Hong's hands.
Then he saw that Hongren's hands were trembling.
He was trembling.
He was trembling with fear.
But even though he was afraid, he still chose to stay and help others escape the Ishimura.
Why is that?
He didn't understand, so he could only hold onto the gun tightly in his arms.
So when he overheard Isaac talking to the woman about the rescue team wanting to board the Ishimura and stop it from heading towards the sun, he got up.
He didn't know why someone as selfish as himself would do such a thing.
But he did do it.
“That young man saved my life. I don’t know if it’s right for him to want to destroy the divine seal… but none of you can stop him from flying towards the sun!”
So the soldiers picked up their guns and piloted the escape pods... Although they were called escape pods, they were actually small escape shuttles.
The soldiers, through Isaac's girlfriend, turned Isaac against his cause, then boarded the rescue team's ship and, with the help of other soldiers, kidnapped the rescue team.
The rescue team, though called a rescue team, was only equipped with standard individual firepower; not everyone was even armed.
Moreover, this operation was a coordinated attack from both inside and outside.
Finally, the soldier led the other survivors back to Earth.
The Ishimura, however, flew alone towards the sun.
The soldiers were immediately sentenced to death for stealing the rescue spaceship.
The charges were acts of extreme terrorism, including instigating a mutiny and seizing the rescue team's ships.
But the soldiers had a clear conscience.
