Both shuttles were suspended in the infinite cosmos, uncertain of whether totowards the Hope?"

That was the first question asked after Yao Yuan caathered Many were initially surprised by Yao Yuan’s sudden appearance, but the gravity of the situation immediately daith a look at Yao Yuan’s fretful mannerism

A racket erupted the moment Yao Yuan shared his and Xiao Niao’s hypothesis

The Hope’s first space troopers agreed to thethat they would probably not return

The Hope was the entity that harbored their future The spaceship had given theht to lay down their lives to protect humanity’s last bastion of hope

The Hope was a self-contained environment Cornered on all sides by the cosmos’ impenetrable darkness, humanity had no one but itself Albeit initially meant to be temporary, the Hope had become a veritable symbol of home for its 120,000 citizens

The Hope became the collective that the soldiers would voluntarily defend with their lives The Hope was the final bulwark of humanity’s future, and hope was more important than their individual lives This pseudo-nationalistic senti the 6-, so it was only natural that they would not let the Hope be har, the space troopers would only end up starving to their deaths if the Hope were to fall!

Therefore, ed Yao Yuan to return the Hope The troop was technically the Hope’s only legitimate force of defense, so they had to save the Hope froo back!"

Before Yao Yuan could get a word in, Xiao Niao interjected, "We won’t be of any use even if we return First, we’re not even sure such a threat exists, and even if it does, what can we do if we can’t even pinpoint its presence The Hope had its radar aimed at the junkyard 24/7, but such a threat didn’t even once appear on our system!

"This elusive entity, if it does exist, is ary that evades our detection We’ll be of no use to the Hope even if we choose to return!"

A soldier stood up to protest "But we can’t possibly sit here and watch the Hope go up in flames! The least we can do is to inform the main ship to warp We’ll be abandoned here, but at least theto do?"

"What about the null zone?"

It was finally Yao Yuan’s turn to speak "All our conals are neutralized by the null zone… Even the h it! So should we try going back through it instead? Know that in the ti that, the enemy should have taken several laps in and out of the junkyard, that’s how fast they ht ideas?!"

The cantankerous croas immediately silenced They knew they couldn’t possibly outrun the invisible threat The co the junkyard conspired to slow them down

After further conte on the positioning of the debris and husks on the junkyard’s outer perimeter, so the enemy intended to lure us in with a false sense of security They knew that we couldn’t possibly untangle ourselves from within the junkyard in a short amount of time!"

"Then what shall we do?"

A new Ho, "I still have a 1-year-old son on the Hope… I’d die before I would let anything happen to him and his mother!"

That outburst lowered everyone’s spirits Helpless, they opted to shoot the er, whom in this case was Xiao Niao, because no one dared to train their ire at Yao Yuan Yao Yuan also turned to Xiao Niao "I too agree we shouldn’t return Since the Hope is out of our reach, what should we do now?"
