Chapter 1255 - The Last Chip (2/2)
Reinforceave up!
At the same ti one kilometer away
“What’s that?”
“It’s Celestial Trade’s fleet!”
“It’s our rescue! Hahahaha! They must have come to save us! We don’t have to die now!”
The cheers erupted in Ares
Although it felt odd cheering for their coained their hope of life Who bothered debating this point in the heat of the moment?
The outer door of the buffer compartged their drunken bodies and hurriedly put on their spacesuit
Outside Ares
Afireball exploded five kiloround and filled all the holes and tunnels At least five Devil Worulfed by the flame while the rest fled away from the heat source
The burn of thethis moment, two armored vehicles rushed to Ares’ cabin and extracted the seven astronauts one by one Then before the Devil Worround realized what had happened, they quickly withdrew from this area
Bris was still stunned inside the ar that happened ten o felt like a dreah he should show joy at this moment because he was saved, he could not
He felt cheated
It felt like the pain and suffering they had to endure this as all fake…
However, he could not complain
Celestial Trade saved theht in front of him
The reality felt surreal!
…
On the journey back, Bris did not co across froy to, and second, the other party obviously did not intend to small chat with hi the colony, Bris used the sight glass on the side of the vehicle to look at the behemoth
The cuboid fortress looked like one foot of God stepping into the sands of Mars Ares felt minuscule, like an ant, in front of it It was not even comparable to the colony’s brine desalination pump…
In shock, Bris also showed a hint of bitterness
Perhaps fro choice
Even in 50 years, it would be difficult for NASA to catch up and close the gap with Celestial Trade The difference in funding of the two sides was iap was even ed to achieve profitability with its space technology, and has built a bridgehead on Mars of this size…
Perhaps they are human’s hopes?
Bris shook his head and drove the idea he shouldn’t have out of his head He then followed the Marines into the hall
Afrom the powerful te at these battered UA citizens, Hong Zewei’s htly and he said
“Who is your captain?”
“It’s me” Bris stood up and hesitated for a ”
“You are welco Zewei said without much emotion “Celestial Trade is a responsible enterprise and shoulders the future of mankind Even if it is in humanitarian consideration, ill not leave you there I hope you don’t complain that we came too late, after all, we needed to develop a combat plan and to analyze the depth of Devil Worms…”
Bris was confused, but he still nodded
After the overnor of the colony spoke, Bris hesitated for a moment and asked him what he was most concerned about
“When can we return to Earth?”
“It ht to Mars coines of TS Expedition just for you,” Hong Zewei shrugged “But you don’t have to worry, we have plenty of food and fresh water here, and soe rooister ID cards Except for the fact that you have no authority to update Twitter, and no work, you are the same as everyone else in the colony”
Bris nodded “Thank you…”
He was very satisfied with being alive
As for staying here for a year, itZewei said softly “That’s all I suggest you take a shower first and change into soover pills If there is still some time left, you can take a nap But remember in three hours, there will be dinner and an interview”
“Interview?” Bris asked
“Yes” Hong Zewei shrugged “We must let the outside world know that you have been rescued, and we didn’t accidentally kill another man Also, you must want to let your family know about your current state I hope that you can cooperate”
Bris nodded and didn’t think ardless of whether the other party’s salvation is sincere or not, they ultimately saved them from the hands of the reaper
Even just for retribution, he would fully cooperate with their interviews
Just that Bris didn’t iratitude and tears he showed in the intervieould become a political chip in the hands of a candidate
And this chip would becoram to tip the balance in the primaries…
