Chapter 9, Salvation

But at that moment, a series of clanging sounds erupted. These rioters had actually buried fine wires around the sweet potato field, connecting them to some broken pots hanging from the surrounding trees. García had already stepped into their trap. Immediately, the shouts of a dozen men rang out. García was so frightened that her face turned pale, while Elron felt a blur before his eyes and nearly fainted.

After a long while, Ailun finally managed to catch his breath. He lacked the strength to say anything further, his eyelids feeling incredibly heavy. Thus, he could only weakly utter before falling into a deep sleep: "I want to go with you. I will keep an eye on you; otherwise, if you dig and are not careful of your surroundings, it would be disastrous if they hear any noise." By the time he finished speaking, he had already slipped into a semi-conscious state.

The yellow-skinned soldier first cast a cold glance at the rioters, then took out a small notebook from his pocket. He looked at Allen on the ground, then compared it with the notebook, and finally saluted, saying: "Hello, Allen, Doctor's degree. I am Second Lieutenant Eagle, and you may call me Eagle. I have been ordered to summon you; our government needs astrophysics experts like you. If possible, please follow me back to the base, where you will receive treatment appropriate to your status, as well as experimental equipment and laboratories that suit your field of study. By the way, we have also specially established an astrophysics team for you, and you will be the leader of this team"

Just as the leading mobster raised his shotgun, aiming at Allen's head, suddenly, a gunshot rang out. It was not Allen's head that shattered, but rather his own head was blown to pieces. Following that, there were another seven or eight gunshots, and in an instant, five or six of the dozen or so mobsters fell to the ground, while the remaining ones immediately dropped to the ground, no one daring to make any further movements

Ailun became anxious, coughing even more violently, unable to articulate a single word. Meanwhile, Jaxia continued to speak to herself: "Anyway, I am just stubborn! You know me; I will sneak out tonight, and you won't know about it anyway."

Erlun's initial reaction was one of disbelief, but as more evidence and data were revealed, he, being an expert in this field, was taken aback by the images observed through the radio telescope and the comparative data. Over the next several days, he conducted numerous reasoning experiments in his university laboratory, only to arrive at results that were utterly despairing... Not a single one could escape; only the *book* had not left the solar system. Humanity, no, including Earth, would face complete annihilation!

He is determined to safeguard this happiness

Ailun was slowly lying down when he immediately called out in a hoarse voice, "No, I won't allow you to go! Haven't you seen how cruel those rioters are to their own kind? That twelve-year-old girl, she was dismembered and roasted to be eaten. Have you forgotten such a scene?"

What he did not see was the eagle calmly instructing the soldiers behind him to directly execute those rioters who had already surrendered.

At that moment, a sudden whistling sound of airflow came from the sky. In the darkness, Ailun could not see what it was, but it must have been a helicopter or something similar. It seemed they were indeed regular soldiers, organized and disciplined soldiers

This group of more than ten rioters approached Elron and Garcia with twisted faces, their eyes bloodshot and their expressions filled with malice. They were no longer human; they were merely demons clad in human skin, from their bones to their very souls

Aelrun hurriedly gathered the papers on the table, while behind him, a blonde girl shouted, "Hurry up, Dad, those people are coming to this neighborhood!"

As a renowned astrophysicist in the UK, and indeed, globally, Allen, although only in his fifties, has already attained a level of achievement that many people could not reach in their entire lifetime

Ailun was completely stunned, at a loss for words. Although it had only been a little over a month, it felt as if he hadn't heard such civilized words in a lifetime. As soon as the young lieutenant named Ying furrowed his brow, he immediately shouted, "Yes, I am willing. I am Ailun Bert! This is my daughter, Gaxia! I need you and your team to provide protection for our lives. Yes, by the way, do you have any means of transportation? My daughter has been shot in the leg; she may not be able to walk far and needs immediate medical attention!"

Just a few days after he received this result, the entire world descended into chaos, the apocalypse arrived, there was no escape, and no signs of life. Over ninety percent of the population began to vent their frustrations wildly, and even the military became involved. By the way, they could no longer be considered a military force, as there was no government left; they were merely armed thugs!

However, it is indeed useful. The old captain's method is truly effective. After experiencing the chaos of a tumultuous era, those talented individuals yearn most for order and rules. As long as we demonstrate the order and rules of the government, they will certainly come seeking it in droves. Very good

Quickly, when the evening of the next day arrived, Ailun awoke from his slumber. As he propped himself up, his eyes fell upon the bright white ceiling above him, and he felt a soft, fluffy white blanket covering him. At the same time, he noticed an IV drip attached to his wrist. Beside him, his daughter was also in a hospital bed, listening to music on her device, humming along while reading a novel in her hands. She had cleaned herself up and had returned to being that beautiful girl.

Gacia looked at her father's suddenly emaciated and aged face over the past twenty days, her eyes reddening as she began to cry softly

Hahaha, catch her, she looks like a woman. It has been several days since I had fresh meat, and I can still play for a couple more days. Haha, hurry up and catch her!

However, the countryside is not a paradise either; it too has fallen into madness. A large number of refugees have poured into the rural areas, but accompanying them are mobs that follow these refugees. The slaughter continues, the rapes persist, the brutal killings go on, and the violence is unabated

The blonde girl named Garcia was in a state of extreme anxiety, completely disregarding any data papers. She rushed to Elron's side, pulling him out, and then ran towards the back door of the room. Elron could only manage to grab the box in his hand as he stumbled and hurried through the back door into the garden. He then squeezed into the garage with his daughter, and it was only after he sat in the passenger seat that he became dazed and murmured, "It's gone, everything is gone..."

However, this happiness ended so suddenly and abruptly. In 2027, the United States unraveled the mystery surrounding the incident of a fallen alien spacecraft, which he initially thought was merely an outdated April Fool's joke. Yet, the ongoing experiments on spacecraft capable of space jumps left him utterly astonished. Subsequently, he sought every possible way to participate in the U.S. space experiments, only to be informed that his old rival, an equally renowned American astrophysicist, but with greater seniority and age, and who had previously won a Nobel Prize, had formed a team that directly rejected his participation.

Ailun finally looked warily at the eagle and the others. This group of soldiers all had standard equipment, wearing uniforms of the same style, which appeared to be American military uniforms. They exhibited a commendable spirit and demeanor, suggesting that... they truly seemed to be government personnel.

At that moment, several beams of light shone from a distance. Ailun and Jiasiya stared blankly in the direction of the lights. There, five or six soldiers dressed in immaculate military uniforms approached, showing no signs of mud or dirt. Among them were Caucasians, African Americans, and Asians, with a cold-looking Asian soldier leading the group

He wants to ensure that this happiness continues, even if there are only 8 months left, regardless of what experiments this government requires him to undertake

Gasia's face suddenly turned pale, but at that moment, Ailun coughed, startling her out of her memories. She hurriedly went forward to support Ailun and then said: "It's alright, Dad, I won't go into the fields. I will stay hidden in the ditch. It's night now and there are no electric lights, so they won't see me. I will dig out a few sweet potatoes by the edge of the field... Dad, we haven't eaten anything for three days, just drinking water. I'm fine, but you have a high fever. Dad, you really need to eat something!"

In this situation, Ailun and his daughter left their villa and drove to the countryside

Ailun lay in the abandoned lumber cabin, his eyes vacant. Suddenly, there was a faint sound at the door. Ailun jolted upright, but at that moment, his body felt weak; he had no strength to move. Before he could react, a girl with a dirty face and golden hair, caked with mud and filth, walked in. As soon as she entered, she exclaimed, "Dad, why are you sitting up? Lie down quickly; you still have a high fever... Before he could respond, the girl continued, "Dad, I found a sweet potato field, but there are a group of thugs around it, so I didn’t dare to get close. I plan to find a way to sneak in tonight; I should be able to steal some sweet potatoes out."

That night, Ailun indeed forcefully followed Gaxia's side, and Gaxia, fearing that she might run away alone, had her father stubbornly follow her as well. With his failing eyesight, who knew where he would end up? If he were to run into those rioters, she would truly regret it. Thus, with no other choice, she could only allow Ailun to accompany her to the sweet potato field at https://mhetushucom.com.

"Survive? No, we cannot survive, because... this is already the end of the world." Ailun stared blankly out of the car window; to be precise, his gaze was fixed on the sky, observing the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the warm sun. In just over eight months, this sun will transform into a reaper that annihilates everything

It was not until this moment that Allen finally felt at ease and fell into a deep unconsciousness

The eagle whispered a few words softly, then turned to look at the soldiers standing behind it with their hands clasped behind their backs. It nodded and said: "Mission objective of rescue completed, return to the airship, we are heading back to the base"

The two walked slowly, consuming the little strength they had left. After more than two hours, they finally arrived at the sweet potato field. Indeed, in the rural farmland without electricity, apart from the faint moonlight, it was so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of them. Ailun carefully sat on a slightly elevated spot, watching Gaxia crawl in the ditch, slowly making her way toward the sweet potato field. Gradually, she approached the sweet potato field, and then... she climbed out of the ditch and stepped into the sweet potato field... In the darkness, it was truly impossible to see anything. Ailun carefully sat on a slightly elevated spot, watching Gaxia crawl in the ditch, slowly making her way toward the sweet potato field. Gradually, she approached the sweet potato field, and then... she climbed out of the ditch and stepped into the sweet potato field...

"Dad, I am scared." With a cry, Garcia burst into tears. She was merely a girl of seventeen or eighteen. A month ago, she was a fashionable beauty, pursued by many boys, living a happy life. But at this moment, she was just a frightened girl seeking refuge in her father's embrace

"Haha, there's also an old fellow here. Guys, how about we burn this old guy as firewood?" one of the rioters shouted crazily

Ailun did not disturb his daughter, who was engrossed in her reading. He lay contentedly on the bed, feeling the happiness that had been lost and was now regained. He let out a satisfied sigh...

Yes, sir! The soldiers shouted in unison

Ailun said without turning his head: "Soon, it will be ready, Gaxia. Where is the data table from last time regarding the high-quality body impact on the sun? I remember placing it around here, right?"

How could a neutron star produce fragments? And why would it be heading directly towards the Sun from outside the solar system? What is the speed? Is it possible to observe it before 2027? Can a span of just over two years be sufficient to cover such a vast distance? What kind of speed would that be?

The eagle's cold face finally revealed a smile as he helped Elron up, simultaneously waving to a nearby Black soldier, saying: "Please provide emergency care for this young lady first. We can discuss further once we are on the plane. The environment here is not suitable for your serious illness. It is evident that you seem to have a fever. Rest assured, the base has excellent conditions and qualified doctors..."

Approximately a month ago, the high-ranking elites from various countries around the world suddenly disappeared without a trace. Following this, a significant number of government intelligence personnel began leaking internal information. It is said that these elites have used spacecraft developed with spatial jump technology to escape Earth, abandoning billions of ordinary citizens. The reason for this is a fragment of a neutron star, which was observed as early as 2027, and it is heading towards the solar system with the Sun as its target

He has a daughter. Although his late partner passed away long ago, he still feels happiness, much like the steak his daughter makes for him. The taste is not particularly outstanding, not comparable to those of renowned chefs, but it is the taste of home. This is the taste of happiness. His daughter has been imitating the flavor of the steak her mother used to make, and this is precisely the taste that Allen loves the most.

This matter has caused Ailun to be angry for more than a year. Unable to do anything about it, he could only obtain some data on spatial jumps through alternative channels, planning to assemble a team for research. However, before he could finish collecting the data and start the research, and even before he had the chance to complete the team formation, the global situation underwent a dramatic change

At the forefront was a tall and imposing figure, who was shouting wildly. He pulled the trigger of the shotgun in his hand towards the distance. Meanwhile, Garcia was running frantically outside when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her calf, causing her to fall to the ground and scream in agony. Elron, disregarding everything else, immediately rolled down from the height and rushed to hold his daughter in his arms, using his body to shield her from the mob. Although he knew it was futile, although he was certain he was doomed, he believed that his daughter's fate was worse than death. But still...

Gacia looked at her father with some reluctance as she drove the vehicle down the road, saying, "No, Dad, at least we survived..."

Ailun tightly embraced his daughter, watching as the mob drew closer to him. He murmured, "God, if there truly is a God, please grant me hope and revelation. God, I implore you one last time, please help me, please help my daughter..."
