Chapter 2826 Quick As Lightning
Craig knew the consequence of destroying the super-spiritual ley line would mean wiping out human civilization from the earth. Everything would be wiped out completely!
In the worst-case scenario, not only would the human civilization be wiped out, but the whole earth would be blown to bits and pieces.
Of course, the destruction of the earth would not affect any one of them, as they would not have lived to see that happening. All humans would all have perished by then…
Dr. Erebus nodded and advised, “That’s right. The super-spiritual ley line will be destroyed, and all of us will perish together with it. So there’s no use in putting up a struggle. We only have to sit and wait for the arrival of doomsday.”
He and Digital God had long given up hope, but Craig and Levi were not about to do that just yet.
“No! We have to stop it!”
“That’s right, we have to give it our all to stop it! Destroying the super-spiritual ley line would mean disaster for all of us!”
“Come on then. Think hard! We have to find a way to stop it!”
Craig and the others knew how formidable the super-spiritual ley line was, so they were adamant about stopping its destruction.
Just then, Gary quietly pulled Levi to the side and revealed to him their true reason for terminating Project Atlantis.
Levi sighed. “So this is the reason. Unfortunately, telling me this won’t make a difference anymore.”
He finally understood why the five looked so shocked when Dr. Erebus shared their encounters. They already knew about the existence of the super-spiritual ley line then.
“How much time do we have before the aircraft reaches the super-spiritual ley line?” Levi asked Digital God solemnly.
“About three hours,” Digital God replied.
“Then we may still have a chance. I will head there right now. And you, I need you to come with me!” Levi pointed at Digital God and commanded.
Then, he turned to Gary and requested, “Give me the fastest fighter jet you have. Now.”
“Understood!” Gary immediately turned around and headed out to make the necessary arrangements.
Next, Levi looked across the room and confessed, “I’ll give it my best, but the probability of me successfully stopping the aircraft is really slim. Disaster awaits us if I fail. The most important thing you have to do now is to disseminate this information to the whole world, so everyone can make plans accordingly.”
He continued, “Next, open up Shelter and try to get as many people in as possible. We have barely sufficient capacity to protect our own population, so the only thing we can do for the rest of the world is to share this crucial information with them.
“Lastly, activate whatever defensive system we have. We’ll do whatever we can to minimize the damage, or at the very least, keep some lives or some things intact!”
All they could do was mobilize whatever resources they had on hand and keep their fingers crossed. It seems like the Shelter is finally getting put to good use.
Craig and the rest nodded vigorously and assured him, “Don’t worry. We will make sure we get these done!”
Nicholas shared his concern. “Unfortunately, even if we tell the truth, the rest of the world may not believe us. Some of them may think it is a conspiracy of Erudia, and that we are trying to create panic and chaos.”
“That’s right. I doubt anyone will believe us. Some may even try to stir up trouble with us and prevent us from activating the Shelter,” Chandler chipped in.
“Let me make an announcement to the world. That is the least I can do to clear your names. You guys go ahead and do whatever you need to do,” Dr. Erebus stepped forward and offered.
Before long, the fastest fighter jet Erudia had, Pengornis, arrived.
Pengornis was designed with speed in mind. The engineers took out all the combat and storage features from the jet and went all out to make sure it could achieve the fastest flying speed possible.
Levi and Digital God immediately boarded Pengornis and disappeared into the horizon.
“Hurry up! I need you to push this jet to its limit! Don’t worry about the consequences. I promise that I will protect you from harm.” Levi gave the pilot his instructions and assurance.
The pilot could tell that it was an emergency, so he threw caution to the wind and went full speed toward the destination.
In the meantime, Digital God was monitoring his two aircraft’s positions.
“Technically, we do stand a chance to intercept them!” he announced excitedly.
Levi was glad to hear that and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was confident that as long as he was given the chance and the time to do it, he could avert the disaster. He was thankful all was not lost.
It was a tense journey for all in the fighter jet.
