Chapter 464: Chapter 458: Grand Finale

The next day.

Jiang Yan and the others waiting at the SS Zone for the rocket launch news of "Noah’s Ark", received some bad news:

The people who took the manned spacecraft to space to terminate the catastrophe simulation laboratory, including the team leader Dr. Song Haitao, the IT expert Jiang Ye who was responsible for cracking the system keys, and 6 other astronaut crew members, all heroically sacrificed themselves.

The spacecraft was damaged during the battle with the weapons integrated into the catastrophe simulation laboratory.

The group originally had the opportunity to escape danger, but to completely resolve the catastrophe simulation laboratory, they chose a self-destructive attack, crashing into the catastrophe simulation laboratory and turning to ash, with no remains in space.

After hearing this news, Jiang Yan was completely stunned, tears fiercely flowing from her eyes, "How could this happen?"

Excluding age factors, Dr. Song Haitao was the most experienced in space flight among those present.

This manned spacecraft was modified to carry bombs and some offensive weapons, referencing fighter jet principles.

Dr. Song Haitao’s body was originally not fit for spaceflight.

However, after drinking the Spiritual Spring Water given by Jiang Yan, he passed a series of equipment tests again.

Even the scar that remained on his face had completely healed.

So, following this perilous mission, he volunteered to go to the frontline once more.

Before departure, he told a few young astronauts who could also pilot fighter jets, "The odds of success this time are great. I don’t have many opportunities to accomplish something significant in my life, so please everyone, let this old man be selfish just this once!"

The astronauts knew in their hearts that when Dr. Song said this, it wasn’t out of a desire for credit; he just wanted to give the opportunity to live well to those young men...

Even though the entire mission was nearly a deadly experience, they still earnestly hoped the astronaut crew could return safely.

But unexpectedly, their departure became a farewell.

Jiang Yan and a few young warriors were already crying uncontrollably.

A few senior doctors who had worked with Song Haitao also bowed their heads and wiped their tears secretly.

Mo Jingsheng’s eyes were also red, but reason and the responsibility on his shoulders told him that the current situation didn’t allow him more time for sorrow, "The doctor and the others used their flesh and blood to destroy most parts of the laboratory. Part of the catastrophe simulator’s attack system was damaged, but——"

"Jiang Yan, are you okay?" he asked with concern and, disregarding the gazes of those around, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.

Tissues are exceptionally precious after the apocalypse.

This packet of napkins was the one Jiang Yan had given him before.

Jiang Yan also tried to hold back her tears, but her tears and snot fell uncontrollably like pouring down.

She simply took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her face, trying hard to remain calm, she sobbed slightly, "Just say it, I’m listening carefully..."

The others also perked up their ears to listen.

Mo Jingsheng said, "The core pod of the catastrophe simulation laboratory has initiated a self-preservation program. During its escape, it was sucked into a meteor array. The simulator now lost its attack functionality, but the core system is still in operation."

Jiang Yan calmed down emotionally, "Since it has lost its attack capability, wouldn’t it be much easier for us to destroy it now?"

Mo Jingsheng frowned, "In space, the magnetic fields inside the meteor array are problematic, meaning that even if we launch another spacecraft with offensive weapons, those bullets can’t directly reach the catastrophe simulator."

"The magnetic fields in the meteor array cause all precise attacks to become disordered."

Jiang Yan: "..."

"Leader Mo, do we only have one last manned spacecraft capable of carrying weapons left?" a doctor surnamed Li inquired.

Mo Jingsheng nodded, "Yes."

These weaponized manned spacecraft were temporarily researched and manufactured after the treasure-hunting operation ended.

After the apocalypse, technology and equipment were already severely lacking, so being able to research and manufacture two spacecraft has exhausted everyone’s efforts.

Another senior professor said, "The issue now isn’t about whether we still have manned spacecraft, but that even if we go up, we can’t attack the laboratory."

Mo Jingsheng’s expression paused, he ordered, "So, everyone proceed as originally planned to section two and take the SS Zone to Mars."

"What do you mean, is it giving up on another launch?" Li Hao and Qin Zepeng approached.

"Going up is just futile." Everyone sighed in dejection.

Mo Jingsheng nodded, "Those who go to space are the pillars of the nation, the upper levels don’t want more needless sacrifices..."
