The USS Expedition was like a drop of water in the universe, slowly being sucked into the brilliant vortex in the center of the starry sky.
Ding Meng looked up at the holographic screen on the main control console, and a bright smile appeared on his face. "Thank you for letting me come to your world. Goodbye!
Friends! "
As soon as his voice fell, the vortex shrank rapidly, and all the light disappeared. The space-time crack also healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Three seconds later, it completely disappeared.
The starry sky returned to its calm state, and the universe was still vast and beautiful, as if nothing had happened.
However, the thrilling scenes from before, and Ding Meng's final words of farewell, remained in everyone's heart forever.
Eirinn's tears fell like beads from a broken string. She choked and said, "Ding Meng … Ding Meng, did he just leave like that?
We … we watched all this happen, but … but there was nothing we could do. We could only watch him die? "
Meng Yan also shed tears. "Mr. Ting, I promised to follow you forever. I only hate that I can't keep up with your footsteps. I hope we can meet again in the next life!"
Du Mo's eyes were also filled with tears. He clenched his fists and said, "Ding Meng, I didn't expect you to do such an earth-shattering thing. I really hate that I can't fight with you."
Du Peixing and the commander looked sad. They silently took off their military caps. All the soldiers and staff on the planet destroyer also took off their caps silently. They lowered their heads and said nothing.
They knew that everyone's life, and even the entire human race in the Federal Empire, was won by Ding Meng with his own life and fearless courage.
Lan Bing stared at the screen in a daze. She was in a trance, but there was also a glimmer of light in her eyes. After a long time, she took a deep breath and murmured, "You are really an amazing man!"
On the other side of the universe, the USS Expedition had already entered the wormhole. This was a bizarre space-time tunnel. Ding Meng and the other two felt that this was an irregular and twisted tunnel. The starship was shuttling through it at an incredible speed. The outside was in the form of light and fog, and the light and fog contained a huge amount of information flow. The starship's system could not receive such a huge amount of information.
Moreover, the starship seemed to be strongly squeezed by the information flow. The whole ship rumbled and shook violently. The system was being destroyed bit by bit. Chu Ming Liang actually let out an unprecedented cry of fear.
"What's going on?" Ding Meng asked quickly...
Xue Yue Mountain said, "That's strange. We didn't attack it."
Feng Jianzhen's eyes lit up. "I understand now. Previously, it merged with the USS Expedition and used the energy of the Divine Light to form a protective shield around the USS Expedition. Its purpose was to prevent the Federation's fleet from attacking the USS Expedition. But now, it has blocked the attack of the cosmic storm for us. This is called thinking that it was smart, but it ended up being a victim of its own cleverness."
Ding Meng was amused. "It also has a day like this?"
Xue Yue Mountain simply shouted, "Hey, damn it. Do you feel good now?"
Chu Ming Liang's voice was filled with pain. "You three bastards. How dare you exceed the capacity of the starship by 400%. I won't let you go. If I die later, your outer protection will be gone. You will be torn into pieces by the huge energy of the four-dimensional space. You can't even return to the three-dimensional space. You want me to die with you?
Let's see who will die with whom. "
Ding Meng pondered and said, "Is that so?"
Xiao Ai said, "The possibility of that is very high. Right now, there are all kinds of unknown particles, rays, and energy storms outside. I can't analyze their composition at all, but I think that even spore life forms will find it difficult to resist."
Ding Meng laughed coldly. "If that's the case, I'll make it difficult for you to die. Didn't you want me to suffer a fate worse than death?
Let's see who will suffer a fate worse than death! "
He reached out and pressed his palm on the main console. The energy of the Divine Light warehouse was too huge. Ding Meng couldn't withstand it at all. He took this opportunity to inject it into the propulsion system. 'Let's see if this droplet is really afraid of death.'
Fujen Zhen was also amused. "Wonderful. If it doesn't want to die, it can only absorb the energy of the propulsion system and continue to resist the cosmic storm, shielding us from the wind and rain. Ding Meng, this move of yours is really brilliant!"
The hologram on the main console clearly showed the data. The propulsion system was decreasing at a rate of one thousandth per second. If this wasn't the droplet absorbing the energy, who else could it be?
Chu Ming Liang's voice was filled with pain and anger. "You three bastards. How dare you make fun of me like this. After I withstand this storm, I'll deal with you three!"
Ding Meng laughed. "I don't think you can withstand the power of the universe for long."
"Ha!" Xue Yue Mountain was overjoyed. "Face the storm!"
"Bastard!
Bastard!
Bastard! "Chu Ming Liang could only curse continuously.
"Hahahaha!"
Ding Meng and the other two laughed together in the command room. The insufferably powerful droplet was being toyed with in the palms of their hands. This feeling was incomparably satisfying.
Although everyone understood that no matter how huge the energy of the Divine Light was, it couldn't withstand the impact of the four-dimensional space for long. Ding Meng would use up all the energy sooner or later. Before that, the droplet would definitely be annihilated in the space-time tunnel. However, this was enough. No matter what, this rotten thing would die before them. As for Ding Meng and the other two, life and death were no longer a concern. All that was left was to laugh to their heart's content.
Sure enough, after an unknown amount of time, Chu Ming Liang's voice no longer roared. It seemed like he was muttering to himself in a language that no one could understand. After that, it seemed like he was panting in a low voice. Finally, it completely disappeared. At this time, the starship began to tremble violently. The three of them could clearly feel that the starship was rapidly disintegrating. The system couldn't even make any sound, and the light screens were being extinguished one by one …
In the darkness, Ding Meng sat quietly on the ground. His heart was unprecedentedly calm because he knew that the moment of true death was coming. He only had one last thought left. "Brother Zheng Ming, Mr. Yu, Xiao Si, I've finally come to see you. Wait for me …"
…
Holy Grail Federation, Blue Moon Planet, Blue Pole Star City.
The central plaza in front of the Starbow Corporation building was filled with people of all shapes and sizes. They came from different regions and different social classes. Some of them were refugees, some of them were citizens, some of them were origin ability users, and some of them were famous people. However, they were all gathered here today, looking up at the sky as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.
After a long time, a Rainbow Bird spaceship indeed appeared in the sky. After the spaceship landed, the two people who walked out of the connecting cabin were Du Peixing in uniform and the solemn-looking Transit String. The two of them represented the upper echelons of the military and the upper echelons of the Starbow Corporation.
Behind them were Cartel, Xu Mengqing, Fu Zhonghui, Xingming, Zheng Mei, Sha Shige, Qingyan, and a few other men in suits. These people represented the Starbow Corporation, Shenghao Corporation, Tianhang Corporation, and the other major corporations.
When he saw Du Peixing arrive, Du Mo immediately went to greet him. "How is it?"
Du Peixing immediately turned his head to look at the Transit String. The Transit String said with a solemn face, "You should tell them yourself!"
Du Peixing sighed helplessly and lowered his head. "Everyone, the Federation has sent out six super fleets to search for two months. They have searched and detected many star systems in outer space. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any trace of the Expedition. If I'm not mistaken, Ding Meng should have died in outer space. Everyone, I'm very sorry. We've done our best …"
Everyone lowered their heads sadly. Everyone knew that this was probably the result, but when Du Peixing said it himself, the hundreds of people in the square still felt sad. Most of them here were people who had received Ding Meng's kindness. They obviously couldn't accept Ding Meng's sudden departure.
Almost everyone here had watched the video uploaded by the Star Destroyer at least ten times. Ding Meng's determination in the battle and when he left the Expedition had deeply shocked everyone, especially the refugees of planet KV303. Ah Qiao was still crying even now, supported by Xiao Wei.
Du Peixing continued. "The upper echelons don't want to cause panic among the citizens of the Federation, so this incident will be classified as top secret and will not be made public. My condolences."
Fang Zhenghao sighed helplessly. "We can understand, but Ding Meng is a hero to us. Shouldn't heroes be commemorated?"
The Transit String sighed. "Commander Fang, I'm sadder than any of you, but this is a decision made by the upper echelons of the Federation. Forgive us for not being able to do anything. I've already ordered everyone to bring KV303 to the Federation so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives. Shenghao, Xinghong, and Tianhang will work together to settle everyone's citizenship. This can be considered as fulfilling Ding Meng's wish when he was alive."
Silman sighed. "If Ding Meng can live, I'd rather stay on planet KV303 for the rest of my life."
Someone in the crowd immediately agreed. "That's right. We'd rather live in ice and snow for the rest of our lives than let Brother Ding leave."
Gulaga, Yu Liang, and the others raised their arms and cheered. Xueyan sighed. "Sigh, Ding Meng is really a good kid."
Ren Tianlan, who was beside her, also sighed. "From the first day I saw him, I also felt that this kid was extraordinary. I didn't expect that one day, he would not only save us, but also the entire Federation."
Yao Manrou was also watching the situation. Her expression was indescribably regretful and gratified. She turned her head and said, "Ranjun, Xiao Yi still has good taste."
Dai Ranjun sighed. "I hope Xiao Yi can take it easy."
Not far away, Dai Yi, Eirinn, and Xu Qianqian stood together by the flower bed. Eirinn and Xu Qianqian looked very sad, but Dai Yi's expression was thoughtful. Then, it became firm because she was silently saying in her heart, 'No!
I don't believe that you, Ding Meng, will die. I know that you must have a way to live. One day, you will come back. You were so powerful on the Expedition. I can't fall behind. Ding Meng, I will wait for you to come back, forever! '
In the other corner of the crowd, Lan Bing silently retreated and slowly walked to the street outside the central square.
There were still many people on the street, but the combination of a woman and a man by the bench was very strange. The man was only about 20 years old, but the woman was 32 or 33 years old, about the same age as Lan Bing. Moreover, the woman had a good figure and a beautiful face.
However, Lan Bing still noticed the difference at a glance. Although the woman looked pure and natural, her skin was darker. Although she was smiling, there was a hint of decisiveness between her eyebrows. It was obvious that this woman was also a person with a strong heart.
Most importantly, the woman's palms were covered with thick calluses. Obviously, like Lan Bing, she must have been engaged in heavy physical labor when she was young.
At this time, the boy skipped to the woman's side. "Big sister, I heard that they are talking about a person with the surname Ding."
The woman smiled and said, "What's that person's name?"
The boy said, "Ding Meng!"
The woman's smile deepened, and her eyes glowed. "Thank you, little brother!"
She stood up and looked like she was about to leave. The boy quickly chased after her. "Big sister, you have helped me so much. I only helped you with such a small thing. This … I'm a little embarrassed."
The woman smiled. "Don't mind it!"
The boy said, "Big sister, I wonder … Can you tell me your name?"
The woman pondered, and a confident smile appeared on her face again. "Sure!
No problem, I can tell you. My surname is also Ding. My name is Ding Wenhe! "
