Chapter 1590: A Ticket Worth Ten Billion Dollars

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rainystars

Based on the number registered at the time of entry, people formed a long line in an orderly manner in front of the station.

In the open ground not far from the station, more than twenty people knelt in front of the power armors. They trembled uncontrollably and did not have the slightest look of life on their pale faces.

The bullets were loaded, and the black muzzles were aimed against their heads. The officer in the front ordered, and the gunshots were fired in unison. Their bodies dropped to the floor as pools of blood began to gather. Then the corpses were quickly lugged onto a truck and then the truck drove off in an unknown direction.

These people were all criminals who took advantage of the riots in front of the station and were executed by Celestial Trade Marine soldiers.

Perhaps it was the blood of the twenty criminals that shocked the tumultuous crowd, or perhaps it was because Jiang Chen’s words before he left made the people with a conscience feel ashamed, there was no riot again, and everyone was silent with their heads lowered, as they slowly moved forward with the line.

Even if it was difficult to accept death peacefully.

But at least most people returned to calmness.

If the fire of civilization would be extinguished in the next second.

Then at least for the last few days, live with dignity.

In the open ground in front of the colony center, apart from the soldiers who maintained order in front of the station, almost all the soldiers in Heavenly Palace City were summoned here by Jiang Chen.

In front of the soldiers with low morale, Jiang Chen was silent, then after a moment, he began to speak.

“If you want to leave, I won’t blame you.”

“Our fleet has been defeated. It is not an enemy that can be defeated with guns and bullets.”

“Before you become a soldier, you are first of all human beings. I will not ask you to fight an invincible enemy, nor will I unreasonably ask you to stay for this land just because of your status as a soldier, to shed the last drop of blood.”

“Whether to fulfill your mission to the last minute is up to you to decide.”

“If you want to see your family for the last time, I will respect your choice.”

“After this, those who want to leave can go to Hong Zewei to register.”

“I only have one requirement, and that is that you must leave after everyone else. After the people have evacuated, you can take the last flight to Earth…”

The result was beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations.

Originally he thought that at least half of the people would choose to leave, but the soldiers who stood in front of the colony center expressed their determination with deafening shouts. It was one person at first, and in the end, the roar that could dispel all fear was the only sound that could be heard in the middle of Heavenly Palace City.

“FIGHT TO THE END!”

Death was inevitable if they stayed, but could they live even if they leave?

Even if they surrendered, the ending was not pleasant. Instead of crying with their family back on Earth and experiencing the miserable situation of parting, it was better to stay here as a soldier and fight until the last moment. At least their family on Earth would be proud of their glory.

Especially the last person that needed to stay decided to stay here, what reason could they use to escape?

Jiang Chen was very pleased with those pupils unfearful of death.

…

It was impossible to evacuate everyone.

The time left for the citizens of Heavenly Palace City to evacuate was less than two weeks, but it took three to four days to go back and forth between Celestial City and Heavenly Palace City.

Despite this, there was nothing to complain about.

After all, just these two weeks were exchanged with the lives of the Earth Fleet.

Just as Heavenly Palace City was busy evacuating ordinary people, on the far earth, SS Origin’s “tickets” had been allocated according to the contribution of each member country in the defense alliance. It was unbelievable that countries reached a consensus on an international issue so quickly. Probably because everyone was aware that any wasted second could decrease their chances of survival.

The list was already decided.

From the very beginning, these tickets were not associated with ordinary people.

However, in the spirit of humanism, and at the same time, to avoid any major crisis in the last month, the member states passed the nominal resolution 107—that was, twenty tickets were made available, and twenty lucky people were selected to board the ship by lottery.

After the decision was made public, before the lottery even started, the price of these 20 tickets already rose to 20 billion World Dollars per ticket.

But would anyone really sell it?

By the time the colonization ship arrived on Earth, money would be no different than paper.

Batches of supplies were transported from the space elevator to Celestial City and loaded on SS Origin from the port.

The target was the Alpha Centauri, 4.22 light-years away from the solar system. Based on the latest space observation technology of Celestial Trade, it was confirmed that there were terrestrial planets suitable for human survival there. In addition to more than two thousand crew members, the Origin was loaded with a large number of colonial equipment to ensure that these colonists could adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible after they reached the target.

On the other side, Heavenly Palace City.

The soldiers stationed on Mars began to deploy lines of defense in Heavenly Palace City. Every pipeline was equipped with gates made of titanium alloy so that when an area was lost, they could quickly move to another area and drop the gates to stop the advancement of the Harmony army…

Of course, all this was just speculation.

Even Jiang Chen himself didn’t know whether the tactics on Earth would work on aliens. He didn’t even know if those bugs would send ground troops to Mars, or would fire a Klein particle cannon on Mars to paralyze all electronic equipment in Heavenly Palace City.

The time forwarded to the last three days.

At the mining area of ​​the B City Steel Group, which was the entrance to the geocentric mine, Golovin I, who stood there like a sculpture, slowly looked up at the dust floating not far away. A rover gradually appeared from the horizon.

The rover stopped in front of Golovin I, Jiang Chen rushed out of the rover, and Lilith was behind him.

“I was thinking just now if you don’t come, I would have to go.” Golovin I looked to Jiang Chen, who walked towards him, and said in an emotionless voice, “Your meaningless cleverness is just killing my patience.”

“Don’t say that,” Jiang Chen shrugged, smiled lightly, and continued, “At least I’m here, right?”

“But a lot of time was wasted.” Golovin I said, in a monotone voice, then he turned to the entrance of the ruins, “If we really intend to go, even if there is only one day left, we can still leave.”

“Really? It seems that I am still early.” Jiang Chen laughed.

Golovin I ignored him and walked in the direction of the entrance.

Jiang Chen looked at the figure’s back slowly moving away and the relaxed expression on his face gradually faded.. He took a deep breath and followed behind him.
