Chapter 862: Waste Not One Second (2/2)

Sam was taken aback as comprehension dawned.

”I will go now!” He shrugged Mubai off and rushed out of the room. Xinghe looked at Mubai, the latter's eyes were austere enough to deter any living being from making eye-contact with him.

”What are you standing there for, you should start working on the defense system,” he reminded her in a weirdly calm and gentle voice.

Xinghe opened her mouth to say something but she finally decided against it and started focusing on the computer. She did not have the luxury of time to do this with him. She knew he would not leave no matter what she said, so the only thing she could do was crack the defense system as fast as she could to give everyone a chance at survival.

Xinghe went to town on the keyboard.

Sam soon returned with two sets of spacesuits. After taking them from him, Mubai ordered, ”Go to the spaceships, see if there is a way to save us.”

”Okay!” Sam nodded tensely. He looked at Mubai and told him solemnly, ”You two have to survive; I will use every ounce of my energy to come save you.”

”Thank you.”

That was the only reply Mubai gave him, but it was enough to communicate the gratitude he had for the other man. Sam nodded knowingly. He did not waste time talking and went to fulfil his responsibility. Every second was precious, and they did not have the luxury to waste even one.

Mubai also started moving. He personally helped Xinghe get into the spacesuit which was not easy considering the fact her hands never left the laptop as she shrugged into the spacesuit.

With Mubai's help, Xinghe successfully put on her spacesuit except for her helmet and gloves.

He then stepped into his own spacesuit. He also left his helmet and gloves off, so he could have an easier time in helping Xinghe gets hers on.
