Helpless!

This caused the Hope to submerge into complete chaos!

Indeed, humanity was still too fragile. The Hope was the last remaining survivor of the human race, so losing it meant the extinction of humanity. That was the reality of the situation. Even though humanity was on the brink of becoming a level 3 space civilization, on the issue of survivability alone, humanity was even worse than a level 1 space civilization.

Because of this, when the Hope was taken over, those who knew the truth had their faces blanched immediately, including Yao Yuan.

He was not afraid of death, yes, that was the truth. Granted, given the choice, he would prefer to live, but he was not afraid of death. If he was, he wouldn't have become a member of the Black Star Unit and later its captain.
