Everything was shut down.
At the same time, the propulsion devices at the rear of the Black Brilliance had been ignited to their maximum, causing the entire spacecraft to burst forward.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Then those who had not yet boarded suddenly felt a chill run through them as they realized they had been abandoned.
They became overwhelmed with despair and began to curse furiously on the public communication channel.
“Stop the ship, we’re not on board yet.”
“What about the two-hour extension you promised…..”
“You can’t leave, my father is…..”
Inside the command room of the Black Brilliance, a stream of communication requests popped up constantly. Putmi, looking ashen, turned to look at Li Ruiqi.
Li Ruiqi, looking at those requests, felt as if his heart were being cut by a knife.
These were all distress signals from his own people, but he couldn’t respond to them.
Li Ruiqi could only harden his heart and said, “Ignore all communication requests, maximize speed forward, activate the Energy Shield, prepare to start the Sub-Light Speed Flight Device!”
“Energy Barrier initiating, 5%, 10%…..”
“Sub-Light Speed Flight Device beginning to initiate, 5%…..”
The fierce acceleration suddenly made all the facilities and people inside the Black Brilliance lurch and crash violently into each other, with cries of agony everywhere.
In the Gluttonous Mecha Biological Cabin, Qian Chengxue wasn’t paying attention, and her whole body fell onto Su Mo.
Su Mo quickly reached out to hold her.
“I’m fine, but it seems like the spacecraft has forcibly taken off.”
Qian Chengxue said, her emotions mixed.
Su Mo glanced at the time on his phone, three hours exactly, not a second more or less, just as he had guessed.
The last delay was like a poisoned honey.
Of course, Su Mo had more or less guessed their reasons, and there was nothing much to say about it.
Among the stars, the Black Brilliance advanced at an extremely exaggerated speed, completely ignoring the nearby floating debris, frantically fleeing this star space.
Soon, the entire Black Brilliance began to shake violently, countless tiny debris hitting the Energy Barrier
Normally, such unnecessary impacts could be avoided, but no one had the luxury to care about that now.
Black Brilliance Command Room.
Putmi kept reporting the status.
“We have successfully entered sub-light speed state, the load rate of the Sub-Light Speed Flight Device has now reached eighty percent.”
“Increase speed more!”
Li Ruiqi did not hesitate to continue issuing commands.
Though they had started fleeing now, he was somewhat frightened, his hands trembling slightly. He was thinking about one thing, if Su Mo had not persisted in his opinion, hadn’t gone to investigate again.
Or if he had not trusted Su Mo to go and investigate again, by the time they realized something was wrong and figured it out, they would probably be waiting to go to Hell.
“Do we really need to speed up more? This might be too reckless, the speed is too fast for the structure of the ship, and avoiding civilians will cause severe trauma.”
“We can’t worry about that now.”
Li Ruiqi was ready to go all out.
“Continue to accelerate!”
Putmi reported back, steeling himself.
At this time, Spade and Augustus had not spoken throughout, showing no intention of interfering with Li Ruiqi’s commands.
Though they had already embarked on the path of escape, theoretically their tightly wound nerves should have relaxed a bit.
But the thought of the white hole images transmitted back by Su Mo made their scalps explode, and they were restless. They did not dare to be the slightest bit careless, fearing that the next second might bring their apocalypse.
Augustus regretted staying those extra two hours even now.
Inside the command room, it was silent as the grave, everyone’s eyes glued to the screens.
Black Brilliance, Putmi began to report.
“Number 1 and Number 2 nuclear fusion engines have overloaded, the sub-light speed flight is about to end.”
“Turn off engine Number 2, start engine Number 3, initiate the sub-light speed flight again.”
Looking at the star map, Putmi hesitated before asking.
“We’ve already escaped so far; should we be safe by now? Is there really a need for such exaggeration, forcibly switching to the sub-light speed flight device ? I’m worried it might damage the equipment,”
Li Ruiqi said without room for doubt, though nothing had happened and everything seemed safe. But for some reason, Li Ruiqi always felt as if countless sharp points were stabbing his back.
Following Li Ruiqi’s command, Putmi began directing the operators.
“Commence shutdown of Engine No. 2.”
“Exit sub-light speed state.”
“Start Engine No. 3.”
“Issue a second warning to all civilians for the second restart of sub-light speed flight. There will be a severe acceleration; everyone prepare for impact.”
Soon, announcements resounded throughout the Black Brilliance.
“Dear citizens and comrades, we are notifying you that Black Brilliance is switching power systems to re-enter sub-light speed flight. This will cause a secondary impact. Please do not leave the refuge areas. We appreciate your cooperation,”
Following the announcement, the tension aboard the ship intensified, everyone’s faces painted with horror.
There was no time to mourn for the comrades left behind.
Inside the Gluttonous Mecha.
Cheng Xue, listening to the announcement, felt extremely stifled and said to Su Mo with a furrowed brow,
“Su Mo, is the White Hole really that terrifying? We’ve been flying for over a day; haven’t we escaped to a safe zone yet?”
“It’s more than just terrifying. As for whether we’ve escaped to a safe zone, I can’t say for sure, but at least for now, we are safe…”
Su Mo was cut off mid-sentence.
The Fake Creator·Devourer suddenly issued a swift warning to Su Mo.
“Be careful, the White Hole impact is coming!”
At that moment, Su Mo’s face abruptly changed, and he shouted at Cheng Xue,
“Sister Xue, brace yourself! The impact is coming.”
Just then, an urgent alarm sounded automatically from the Black Brilliance.
In the command room, a series of red warning boxes popped up on the operation screens.
“Warning, high energy rays storm detected in space behind…”
Immediately afterward, the imaging device at the ship’s stern projected the captured imagery.
The space behind the Black Brilliance was a blinding white, nothing was visible.
Suddenly, the entire sky seemed as if the sun had risen, turning night into day, with nowhere to hide.
It was an astonishingly spectacular sight that shocked everyone.
However, in their eyes was only endless fear.
“The impact is here!”
Augustus shouted urgently.
Unfortunately, the next second, the entire Black Brilliance was swallowed by daylight. The command room turned into a white blur, stabbing everyone’s eyes so they could not open them.
All sorts of rays bombarded the energy shield of the Black Brilliance.
The whole ship shook violently as if it were a small boat in a storm!
Everyone in the command room was thrown off balance.
Li Ruiqi instantly reacted and roared,
“Voice command, shut down all visual imaging and external light sources.”
Suddenly, the lighting in the command room returned to normal.
“Warning, energy shield integrity at thirty percent!”
The integrity was almost completely lost in just a few seconds.
“It’s no use, the energy barrier can’t hold on much longer.”
Putmi’s eyes showed extreme terror as he shouted uncontrollably.
The next second, the Black Brilliance’s energy shield shattered, turning into a sky full of stars, followed by the residual rays bombarding the Black Brilliance.
Li Ruiqi was instantly despairing.
The entire Black Brilliance completely disappeared into the white expanse.
ps: I’m off to a meeting, will update more tomorrow.
