Chapter 36 - A Chance of Victory

Chapter 36 A Chance of Victory

It was different from the novels and movies that had already been written countless times and filmed repeatedly.

When it really became a reality, everyone would all be terrified.

This was because there was no protagonist in reality, let alone a miracle!

“Sir!” Todd’s voice even started to become hoarse. His eyes were slightly red as he stared intently at Shen Shi and asked word by word, “Is this invasion war really unstoppable?”

“…” Shen Shi was silent for a moment before he shook his head. “There are many unimaginable powers involved behind this.”

“Then please tell us, Sir! Which powers are they!”

Todd sounded determined. He seemed to have regained his composure for a moment.

Willard also stared intently at Shen Shi.

This surprised Shen Shi.

To be honest, he was the first to see those images. When he learned of this news, his heart was filled with despair. If it had not been for the support of the Time Diamond and the trading market of the future, he could not imagine how desperate and devastated he would be.

Is this the quality of an elite human?

Shen Shi’s heart could not help but light up.

What he was most worried about was that humans would lose the will to resist. If this was the case, with his strength alone, even if he had the Time Diamond and the trading market of the future 3,000 years later, he would not be able to do anything.

“Are you guys really prepared?” Shen Shi said meaningfully. “Knowing more might lead to greater despair.”

“Even if we are in despair, we can’t change anything.” Todd clenched his fists and slowly exhaled. He laughed at himself. “Ever since we realized the existence of aliens, we have long considered the worst possibility of an alien invasion. However, even if it really happens, what can we do except resist with all our might? Moreover—”.

At this point, he paused and looked at Shen Shi again. There seemed to be an inexplicable light in his eyes.

“Humans are not entirely ignorant about the universe, the galaxies, and the enemies, right?”

Being looked at like this, Shen Shi immediately reacted.

“That’s right.”

His appearance seemed to have given them a life-saving straw!

A human had obtained a spacecraft in the universe and even managed so many aliens of different civilizations and races! He had even known in advance that the Blue Planet would be invaded and had rushed back to inform them!

If this was not a life-saving straw, what was?

With Shen Shi around, it was already much better than being suddenly invaded!

However…

Even though he was already prepared, Shen Shi still felt an indescribable pressure being stared at by such a gaze.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “I’ve been back for about ten days.”

Todd, Willard, and the others were stunned, but they did not say anything. Instead, they listened carefully.

Shen Shi’s expression still did not change much, but his tone had started to calm down.

As if he was talking to himself, he said, “I had only wanted to fetch my family and leave quietly, but before that, I could not help but experience a life I had not experienced on the Blue Planet in the past. I came into contact with some people I thought I would never come into contact with again.”

Todd and Willard’s eyes lit up.

They looked at each other.

They could all see the surprise in each other’s eyes.

It was obvious that the reason for this meeting was probably related to the person whom the other party had said he would not come into contact with again!

This meant that the important man in front of him still had feelings for humans!

“When I realized that…” Shen Shi looked at them calmly, and his expression seemed to soften,” I might like my life on the Blue Planet more, I decided to fight, as far as possible, for a chance of victory for all of you and for mankind.”

This was the one!

They had finally received an affirmative answer and understood the other party’s attitude. Todd and Willard were so excited that they were almost trembling!

When they learned of the alien invasion, even though they were not completely sure if the news was true, they were also in despair.

However, the despair had come from the news given by Shen Shi, so did hope!

“Sir, as long as you’re willing to help us, we definitely won’t disappoint you!” Willard even said impatiently.

What he was most afraid of now was that the other party would really take his family and friends away.

Then, the humans who had stayed on the Blue Planet would have no choice but to welcome the invaders without knowing anything about the enemy or even the direction!

He just wanted to think about that situation.

He felt his entire body tremble.

“If I’m disappointed, it means that the humans have been defeated.” Shen Shi glanced at Willard and said calmly, “You will lose everything.”

And I could still escape.

The reason why he had said those words earlier was not only to endorse his actions more than ten days ago, but also to draw closer to humans.

The mystery needed to be built, and the background even more so.

However, Shen Shi did not want to be completely separated from humans.

If he were to really change the future, he would still stay on the Blue Planet.

Therefore, he also needed to show his human side and his bond with humans.

It was quite appropriate to care about one’s family and first love.

However, it also required good balancing.

He could do his best to change the future, but he could not shoulder all the responsibility and pressure.

This was not a question of whether he was willing to bear it.

It was because he clearly understood that when everyone thought you were a hero, any failure would become a sin. “If there’s a chance, I believe we’ll definitely seize it. This is for the future of mankind!” Todd said seriously, his eyes bright.

“That’s right, that’s right.” Willard nodded repeatedly.

As for the others who could understand, most of them were panting continuously under the intense fluctuations. Their gaze and emotions had become extremely complicated.

“I hope you can still be so optimistic after knowing the exact situation.” Shen Shi did not care. He just raised the cup of fruit tea in his hand again and took a sip. As if he had moistened his throat, he said slowly, “This universe is far grander than human imagination.”

It was like a grand opening.

Everything around them, whether it was the blue sky, the rising and falling sea, or even the soft beach beneath their feet, started to distort and then receded like a tide.

The vast and boundless universe slowly appeared.

What came into view were stars.

When had everyone been in the universe personally? At that moment, all of them were attracted by this incomparably magical scene.

Chief Engineer Lu was so excited that his entire body was trembling.

Even though he had already realized through gravity and the sensation below him that everything in front of him was only an illusion and not the real universe, so what?
