53 Leaving Earth (2/2)

Space shuttles traveled in outer space, and it no longer required to make use of kinetic energy from the air to fly like how airplanes did. Therefore, with this design, it could ferry more passengers given that it was bigger despite having the same mass.

At the ticket inspection point, blue light gleamed and kept on scanning. One could only enter after displaying the ticket. If they were to barge in, the alarm would be triggered and thus the robotic police on both sides. They were not to be trifled with, and their red electronic eyes could shoot out electric flux that could instantly subdue the opponent.

Feng Lin walked up and let the machine scan the virtual ticket on his identity microchip. The machine's voice immediately rang out.

”Welcome, passenger Feng Lin. The Harley-989 passenger space shuttle is glad to serve you. This space shuttle will be heading straight to Mars from Earth, and the trip will take 6 hours and 5 minutes. There are free food, drinks, and virtual entertainment facilities provided on the space shuttle. We hope you enjoy your trip...”

Feng Lin entered the space shuttle and headed for the prow. An extremely extravagant cabin that was like that of a palace appeared before him. The passengers in this cabin were either rich or of high statuses.

When they saw Feng Lin's appearance, they instinctively started to judge him. When they saw unimpressive clothes, strong perplexity shone in their eyes.

How could a person like this appear in this luxurious section?

Feng Lin paid them no heed and silently found his seat.

The first-class section wasn't just a simple seat. It was an individual private room, with a door that could be opened or closed at one's free will.

Feng Lin closed the door and found that there were virtual facilities, a bed, an individual washroom... The conditions could be said to be extravagant.

He quietly waited until about half an hour passed by.

The space shuttle trembled a little and then was activated with a boom. Blue flames shot out from the bottom, and the strong pushing force caused the massive space shuttle to gradually rise up and accelerate incessantly.

”It's about time!” Feng Lin immediately took out his identity microchip and tapped consecutively on it.

The pages on the microchip kept flipping until it reached the back-end administrator interface. A notification panel popped up.

”Feng Lin, you're requesting for the microchip's highest level of authority. Please insert password!”

Feng Lin took in a deep breath before his fingers started tapping, ”wsyzm22726723132…”

Right now, he wanted to unlock the identity microchip. The space shuttle had already set off and even if the people from his clan discovered this, it would already be too late. They were unable to stop him since he was already on the space shuttle.

Beep beep beep!

At that moment, there was only the sound of Feng Lin's finger tapping on the microchip. Very soon, the password that had over 600 characters was keyed in completely.

”The microchip's lock has been removed. Congratulations, Feng Lin. You've obtained the highest level of authority over this microchip!”

The monotonous electronic voice sounded extremely pleasing to his ears at the moment. It sounded like the most beautiful music in the world.

Feng Lin exhaled and completely relaxed from his tensed state. He leaned back on the chair, feeling as if an invisible chain on him had been removed.

He breathed in with a great feeling of intoxication. Although he was in a closed cabin room, he still felt great satisfaction, feeling as if the air was very refreshing.

This was the smell of freedom.

As for when the clan would notice that he had removed the microchip's lock and how angry they would be then, he couldn't be bothered.

The space shuttle accelerated very quickly, breaking through the atmosphere within five to six minutes, leaping into the boundless outer space.

Feng Lin looked back through the windows, seeing a beautiful blue planet floating in the dark vacuum, spinning incessantly. It had been doing so for several billion years. It gradually became smaller in his vision, turning into a bright star in the distance.

Goodbye Earth!
