Chapter 945 Adam's Cowardice

(This is a foreshadowing of the extra chapter. If you are not interested in the extra chapter, you can skip it.)

Yang Cheng hurriedly moved inside the huge warship. The corridor flashing with cold silver light passed quickly before his eyes like a flowing band of light.

"We must find an engine that can pass through the cracks!" Yang Cheng's eyes were determined, and he vowed secretly in his heart. He knew that this was crucial to achieving his goal.

The system in Yang Cheng's mind has provided him with a lot of valuable information, including key information such as how to travel through different worlds.

It turns out that each world is infinite. In order to successfully cross the boundaries between worlds, one must either forcibly create a gap in the extremely solid wall of the world, or patiently search for those imperceptible loopholes hidden in the wall of the world.

Only by finding such a channel can we successfully cross to another world.

Fortunately, the engine equipped on this powerful battleship belonging to the Human Federation has the amazing ability to tear apart the world's walls, allowing the battleship to easily break through space limitations and reach the unknown other side.

If Yang Cheng could obtain this engine, then from now on, he would no longer have to rely entirely on the system to complete his journey of travel and conquest.

Not only that, with this engine, Yang Cheng also has the hope of returning to his hometown that he longs for.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't wait to ask the system: "System, can you analyze these engines in detail?"

After receiving a positive answer, he quickened his pace, quickly passed through another long corridor, and finally entered the core of the battleship - the control room.

“Kaba…”

With a dull sound, the heavy metal door began to move slowly.

Yang Cheng stood cautiously in front of the door, his whole body emitting faint spiritual energy fluctuations. He was concentrating on exploring the situation around him.

When the door was fully opened, a stale smell blew in.

Yang Cheng stepped into the room and quickly scanned every corner of the room.

Under the floor of the control room, there was a silver oval-shaped object lying quietly, as elegant as a beauty. It emitted a faint light, as if it was waiting to be awakened in its deep sleep.

"Could this be it?"

Yang Cheng pondered in his heart, but soon shook his head and denied his thoughts, "No... I always feel something is wrong."

With his keen intuition, Yang Cheng sensed that there was an indescribable strange atmosphere in this space.

So he moved to the corner of the wall, concentrated his mind, extended his spiritual energy there, and sensed it carefully.

At this moment, a slight "click" sound was heard.

Yang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes. He clearly felt that in this seemingly ordinary corner, there was actually a separate space hidden!

This small space created by high-tech means is similar to the common storage ring. They are both small areas that exist independently outside the main space.

Without any hesitation, Yang Cheng raised his leg and stepped into the mysterious little space.

As soon as he entered, he found that the entire space was shrouded in endless darkness, and he could not see his hand in front of him.

However, in the center of this darkness, there was a computer placed abruptly.

The screen emitted a soft light, like the brightest star in the night sky, attracting Yang Cheng to move closer step by step.

At the edge of the screen, a completely skeletonized corpse lay quietly.

The body looked as if it had been eroded by a long period of time, leaving only pale bones and some remaining fragments of clothing.

What was creepy was that its right hand was tightly holding a pistol that was so old that its original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

At this moment, Su Cheng used his powerful psychic power to skillfully change his body shape.

His originally short stature gradually stretched and extended, and finally became the same height as a normal person.

Then, he walked slowly towards the corpse with light and cautious steps.

When Su Cheng finally approached the corpse, he noticed a shocking hole in the corpse's head.

This hole looks like it was caused by a close-range shooting, and judging from the shape and position of the wound, it is very likely that the deceased raised the pistol in his hand, pointed it at his head and pulled the trigger - in other words, this person committed suicide by shooting himself.

Seeing this, Yang Cheng, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but walk forward and carefully observe the corpse.

He found that although the uniform worn by the body was tattered, a string of English letters were still clearly engraved on it: "Adam Griffiths".

"Adam..."

Yang Cheng gently pushed aside the corpse in front of him, and his eyes immediately fell on the screen playing next to him. He stretched out his finger and tapped the screen, hoping to get more clues about what happened here.

"I'm the captain of the Noah's Ark - Adam, and I... I deceived my crew."

A man with a haggard face and bloodshot eyes slowly appeared in front of the screen.

His originally resolute face now looked as helpless as a child. Tears flowed freely, blurring his vision, but he still stared at the screen.

"The Federation is about to send people to capture us! They have advanced technology that can pinpoint our location from the vast ocean of space."

"Maybe it will take thousands of years, or maybe it will happen in the next second. Who knows? I really don't know when they will come to us."

"And I don't have the courage to face them. Because I know clearly that once they catch us, there is only one way to go, death. They will definitely not show mercy and will kill us without mercy..."

"I'm sorry...Führer..."

Having said this, Adam's body began to tremble violently, as if he had already felt the fear and despair of death in advance.

Adam cried bitterly and pulled out a gleaming pistol from his waist tremblingly.

The cold texture of the metal passed through his fingertips, making his heart even colder.

"I really can't bear the pressure and guilt that all this brings. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry to everyone..." His voice was so choked that it was almost inaudible.

With a last desperate murmur, Adam resolutely pointed the black muzzle of the gun at his forehead.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the only sounds in the world were his heavy breathing and heartbeat.

"I can only pray to God, and pray that the descendants of the Human Federation can unite as one. Only in this way can we have a chance to fight against those powerful forces and defend our freedom and dignity..."

After Adam shouted out this sentence with his last bit of strength, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

There was a loud "bang" and a fatal bullet instantly penetrated Adam's brain.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, staining the white table top red.

Adam's body fell straight backwards like a puppet with its strings cut, and finally fell heavily in front of the table, without any movement.
