Chapter 498: Chapter 81 Huang Que’s Master Plan_4 Chapter 498: Chapter 81 Huang Que’s Master Plan_4 She crossed her arms and looked at Lin Xian:
“You think the situation is bad now?
I can tell you clearly, Lin Xian, if we don’t seize this Space-Time Particle, this world, everything, all of this will become much worse…
many times worse than now.
“You ask what else I know?
Well, let me tell you, from beginning to end, I only know one thing—”
“[I only know that if we don’t seize this Space-Time Particle, everything is over.]
She raised her head, her blue eyes blinking:
I don’t like your nagging attitude at all.”
“Have you never seen sacrifice?
Never seen people around you die?
Never seen a grim future or never seen the world being destroyed?”
“Besides, what have we lost now?
Wei Cheng is the country’s top pilot.
Without any guidance or navigation, he navigates the plane with his eyes and experience—this is the most basic skill of every pilot.”
“So, what are you worried about?
Our spacecraft is intact, the Mechanical Arm is functioning perfectly, the tracking of the Space-Time Particle is intact, everything is proceeding exactly as planned.
This situation is the best outcome for us!”
She turned around, reached out, and accessed the radio channel everyone was on:
“Wei Cheng, execute my order—”
Huang Que’s blue eyes glistened, resolute as she spoke:
“Alpha material collection mission, proceed as planned!
Wei Cheng’s steady voice came through.
A tremor, the X-37B Spaceplane activated its jet reverse thrusters, skimmed over Mi Country’s East Sea City coast, beginning to slow down.
Huang Que then turned off the communicator, turned back, and looked at Lin Xian:
“I am the overall commander of this mission, and I will naturally take responsibility for my team members.
If we truly encounter danger, I will order a return.”
She turned back once more and walked towards the equipment bay.
“Huang Que, you are still lying.”
Lin Xian said softly from behind:
Huang Que stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Lin Xian.
The two looked into each other’s eyes.
They were silent for a few seconds.
Lin Xian stared deeply into her eyes, reflecting the white lamp light, blue and white intermingling, just like Earth outside the spaceplane’s windows:
“From the beginning, you never intended to abandon the mission and return.”
“You know very well, VV would do anything to protect me.
If we face danger, VV will certainly hijack this spacecraft and escape your control, forcing it to return.”
“To you, the biggest obstacle isn’t Kevin Walker, not the Mi Country X-37B Spaceplane, not even the members of the Genius Club whom I know or don’t know…
Rather, your biggest challenge is VV, which no one in this era can stop.”
“If it truly acts according to the safeguard principles written in its fundamental code to protect me, hijacking the spacecraft and forcing a return, you are utterly helpless.
You are not the commander of this spacecraft; VV is, with the highest authority.
Lin Xian stared at that hint of crystal blue:
“[You must let VV die.]
Huang Que let out a rare light laugh.
Right hand touching the raised clear visor:
“That’s the kind of gaze I like…
I’m starting to like it a bit.”
“I just hope that one day, you can use that look to glare at enemies, not your own comrades.”
The clear visor fell down, completely covering Huang Que’s face.
Headed toward the equipment bay.
