Rainer was first shocked, then relieved, “Thank you for appreciating me like this.”
“It’s not that I appreciate you, but that you leave me no choice but to appreciate. I said it before, we will accomplish something great together.”
Rainer: “Hmm.”
Harrison Clark: “Alright, let’s get to the point now. No one interrupt me.”
His tone suddenly became solemn, “Some of you may envy me for experiencing the world a thousand years from now, but I can only clearly tell you that this is not happiness. Because, mankind will face complete destruction a thousand years from now.”
Everyone’s eyebrows twitched, but no one spoke up.
Harrison Clark asked, “Do you know about the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977?”
“Yes.”
“One, or both, of these spacecraft have betrayed the information of human civilization. The potential of humans is so great that it can at least cause the civilization that rules the Milky Way to be afraid, but our current strength is too weak to withstand a single blow, which brings us to total calamity.”
Harrison Clark began his long narration, just as he had told Carrie Thomas before.
The emotions of everyone followed the unfolding of his story.
Everything was too incredible and shocking.
As the story unfolded, everyone finally understood why Harrison Clark had been striving so hard.
They learned about Harrison Clark’s experiences of falling time and time again in front of alien invaders, and heard the names of the comrades who had sacrificed themselves over and over again.
He fell down time after time, stood back up again and again, and launched desperate charges.
Emotional people like Avril Green and Ward Owen had tears streaming down their faces.
Rational people like Rainer and Julia Lambert also felt a slight sourness in their noses.
Everyone finally saw through Harrison Clark’s seemingly calm appearance and understood the passionate heartbeat, strong will, unparalleled sense of responsibility, and sense of mission hidden deep in his heart.
Like Carrie Thomas, they couldn’t imagine how Harrison Clark managed to maintain his fighting spirit in the face of such setbacks, despite exhausting all their thoughts.
Six hours later, Harrison Clark’s story came to a temporary halt.
He observed the feedback from everyone.
Each person clenched their fists, gritting their teeth and looking flushed with emotion.
Harrison Clark took a sip of water and said softly, “I am not as outstanding as you imagine. I am the most unsolvable thief in history, but I will not change, I will only continue to make mistakes. Because I am stealing a glimmer of hope from the inevitable doom.”
“So far, I have tasted the pain of watching my civilization be destroyed with my own eyes seven times. I have tried many times to retrieve the Voyager, but I have always failed. As a 21st-century person, it’s difficult to understand this feeling. After all, ordinary people don’t concern themselves with the world after their death.”
“But I chose to tell you because I know that you are not ordinary people, and you won’t let me down. I can no longer stand idly by, so I must fight, for my own sake as well as for the millions of years of human civilization that has evolved from hominids to the present.”
“Now, I need your help. Your help is required not just for yourselves, but for your descendants, for the descendants of your friends and family members!”
“If human civilization eventually spans across the Milky Way and into the entire universe, every one of you present today will be engraved alongside me in an epic monument! Our descendants could even use a million light-years of vast galaxies to piece together our statues in the universe!”
“Billions of descendants will praise your name with reverence! We will become pioneers, torchbearers, trailblazers who lead civilization beyond Earth and into the universe! We will be the race leaders who sound the clarion call of counterattack at the brink of survival and extinction!”
“Are you mentally prepared? Join me in a great undertaking that spans millions of years and shapes the universe nine billion light-years wide.”
Harrison Clark indeed had the talent of a politician, even the calm Rainer was moved by his words.
Ward Owen, this baffling lad, jumped out first, hollering about following his master to the death or whatever.
He seemed to be determined to strive, but Harrison Clark was a bit flustered.
Harrison Clark ignored him and looked at Avril Green, Rainer, and Julia Lambert one by one.
Rainer nodded, “I’ll definitely join.”
Julia Lambert smiled, “I originally wanted to just build a nation, but you’ve enlarged my dream. I’ll follow.”
Avril Green glanced at Carrie Thomas first, then suddenly stretched out her hand determinedly and grabbed Harrison Clark’s hand, “Take me with you.”
Then, Avril Green added, “You’ve done well enough, and you’ll do even better. Thank you for believing in us and telling us all this. And thank you for believing that we can help you. From now on, you’ll never walk alone.”
In her heart, Avril Green had another unspoken sentence.
Accompanying you throughout my life, never stopping, never ceasing.
Carrie Thomas walked over from the side, staring straight at Avril Green and Harrison Clark’s clasped hands.
Harrison Clark glanced at her.
Carrie Thomas didn’t say anything but also extended her hand to hold the two people’s hands, “Together.”
“Great! Wonderful!”
Harrison Clark laughed; he laughed uncontrollably.
His laughter was even somewhat eerie.
He couldn’t describe his feelings.
Finally, he had comrades.
He thought to himself, this time he shouldn’t cry at his future wedding, right?
