Chapter 1589 - The Last Thing He Could Do (2/2)

“…You’re indeed right, although it’s a bit enviable.”

Jiang Chen did not hear the second half of Lilith’s sentence.

Because her voice was very low.

So low that only she could hear it.

…

The news of the defeat of the Earth Fleet spread from the distant Kuiper Belt.

At this moment, the self-confidence that was originally inflated by the advancement of aerospace technology and the extravagant hope of the word “civilization” in Harmony civilization were all torn to pieces by the cruel reality.

They did not come with peaceful intentions.

And now, the last resistance force of the Earth Defense Alliance had been torn apart by the bugs.

Almost as soon as the bad news came, the whole world changed.

People flocked to Xin frantically, flocked to the two space elevators, flocked to Celestial City.

Air tickets, ferry tickets, space elevator tickets… were sold out as soon as the tickets were issued. The websites of many airlines were overwhelmed, and Celestial Trade Shipping Department was even forced to close the space elevator ticket windows.

SS Origin, the only ship docked in Celestial City, seemed to have become the last hope of human civilization…

On Coconut Island, Ayesha reported the situation on Earth to Jiang Chen.

“The heads of all countries require us to share all starships and allocate escape quotas based on funding.”

Escape quota?

This term is indeed novel.

But Jiang Chen didn’t do anything to stop it and as if he didn’t take this matter to heart, he said.

“You can promise that to them.”

In the face of the threat of death, there was no use in rationality.

If his answer was no, it was possible that before Harmony’s space colonization ship arrived on Earth, the humans on Earth would have self-destructed. If Celestial Trade decided to escape alone, then all the countries would not hesitate to fight against Celestial Trade, which was the only company that possessed interstellar navigation technology.

Those with the consciousness to sacrifice themselves were definitely not those with power.

“Is this really good?” Ayesha hesitated.

“There is nothing not good, even if they stay here, they will get in the way. Do you expect SS Origin to resist the colonization ship? Stop dreaming.” Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.

Ayesha was silent, then spoke after a moment.

“I see.”

“If they want to evacuate anyway, they can evacuate their way and we can evacuate our way.” After a pause, Jiang Chen continued, “Take Xia Shiyu and Sun Jiao to Coconut Island… No, go directly to the apocalypse and wait for my news there.”

Ayesha was slightly taken aback and said hurriedly.

“Wait, what do you mean, aren’t you leaving?”

“I’m still going to give it a try.” Jiang Chen sighed and said, “If it doesn’t work, I will come back.”

Ayesha bit her lower lip and said in an almost pleading tone.

“… Promise me you will never do anything stupid.”

“What silly thing to say,” Jiang Chen smiled and was silent for about two seconds before he continued in a relaxed tone, “Wait for me over there. Wait for my good news.”

He quickly hung up after the call, leaned back against the chair, and let out a long breath of air.

His expression was far less relaxed than his tone.

The current situation facing Earth civilization was almost equal to a dead end.

There seemed to be only one chance left…

No, it was not even a chance.

However, it was the only thing he could do for this world now…

As Jiang Chen stared at the metal ball on the table and he recalled the so-called deal mentioned by Golovin I.
