Chapter 215: Rescue
??
Even many wealthy Moonians went to hide in the Neigerian arks. The fishmen following Gil came from many countries as well. Many of them were infected after the fishmen invaded the arks.
“Are you going to surrender?” Will smirked.
Gil ground his teeth and bellowed, “I’m going to kill all of you!”
He grabbed a knife from a fishman next to him, jumped 30m into the air, and charged at Will.
Bang!
A shot was fired. The sound resonated in the air.
Gil felt like a bird with broken wings.
Blop!
He fell into the ocean, and the water turned red from his blood.
Gil was one of the radicals and evilest fishmen. He would rather die than return to normal. He was trying to brainwash the fishmen around him. Due to his influence, many fishmen succumbed to their evil side and had been killing and plundering as they went.
However, they weren’t as bold as Gil. Once he died, the other fishmen surrendered. They didn’t dare resist the Moonians soldiers because they stood no chance.
“I surrender! Please don’t kill me!”
“I’ll take the injection!”
“Me, too! Please spare my life!”
“The Moonians are my gods! I’ll do whatever they tell me to do!”
The fishmen surrendered and tried to please the Moonians.
Will said, “We’re nobody’s gods, and you don’t need to thank us. My country wants to stop the wars in the world. That’s all. Drop your weapons and board the arks. We’ll take you to Moon, give you the injections, and send you back home!”
“Thank you! Thank you so much!”
“Thank you for giving us another chance!”
“Thank you so much!”
...
The passengers on the Grassian ark cheered and opened their doors to welcome the giant arks. With their help, the Grassian ark began to move toward its own country.
...
On Mars.
“Mr. Oraman, we can’t survive here! We don’t have much food left! If we can’t replenish our provisions, we’re going to starve to death in two weeks!” A scientist was reporting to Oraman.
Eternity had been circling Mars. There was no air or food outside. They could only stay inside the ship.
Being the largest Neigerian ark, Eternity could carry five million people, and it was packed. More people required more resources. The five million mouths needed food and air.
How much food, water, and air could Eternity store?
“Two weeks?” Oraman’s face darkened. After much consideration, he said, “Didn’t you tell me we had enough food to last six months?”
“That was my calculation, but the situation changed. Eternity has been overloaded. We’ve been admitting more people onto the ark for their money. However, we haven’t loaded enough food and water to cover that many people. We’re using up our provisions twice as fast as what we initially calculated!
“It’s been two months and three days. We’re running short on our food and oxygen! Mr. Oraman, if we don’t come up with a solution, we’ll all die here!”
“Kill them!” Oraman gave the command.
A scientist was dumbfounded. “Mr. Oraman, what do you mean?”
“Which part of ‘kill them’ don’t you understand? Five million is too many. Kill half of them! Kill the men that eat the most! Keep the women!”
“Mr. Oraman, we can’t do that!” The scientist knelt on the floor. “You’re talking about killing two million people! We can’t do that!”
Oraman grabbed him by the collar. “Kill them, or we’re all dead! Without them, we can have enough food and oxygen for a month. No, that won’t be enough! I need enough oxygen for a year! Kill everyone that’s not a Neigerian, men and women! The most beautiful women can be spared!
“Find a way to improve the environment. See if you can plant something on Mars! We need a long-term plan!”
Maruse said, “It seems that’s our only choice. Leo, follow the president’s order and kill those people!”
Leo, the leading scientist, shook his head. “No, Mr. Oraman! I can’t do that! It’s too cruel!”
“Then what should we do?” Oraman grabbed Leo’s neck and growled. “I’d have killed you if I could extract your brain!”
Oraman needed the scientists. They had to somehow improve the Martian environment.
It wasn’t an impossible task. Eternity had more than just food and water on board. There was also soil, minerals, animals, and insects.
If they could build a controlled environment on Mars and lay down the soil, they could turn a fraction of Mars into a miniature earth.
What was the most important thing?
Water!
Scientists discovered water on Mars many years ago. However, they hadn’t found any this time. They had been looking for it since they arrived. Once they succeeded, they could live on this planet.
Leo was the best scientist, and the plan wouldn’t work without him. Therefore, Oraman wouldn’t kill him no matter how angry he was.
“We have to have enough time, water, and oxygen before we can carry out that plan! What can we do in two weeks? If we don’t kill them, we’re all going to die!”
Leo pointed at the image on the screen. “Mr. Oraman, let’s go back to Earth! We have enough fuel to take us back! Look! It’s still there!”
