Chapter 42 Endless Starry Sky_1

```

"Only when Murphy is back online, can we thoroughly understand the current situation of the spaceship, and with Murphy's guidance, we can better eradicate the monsters on board," Cao Ge said.

Eric nodded, agreeing with his opinion.

"Alright, everyone should take this time to rest up, because once Murphy is online, we still have a lot to do," Cao Ge said, looking at the few people behind him.

About five minutes later, the pre-restart diagnostics was completed, and the technician responsible pressed the restart button.

The computer screen began to display flashing circular dots, and after about a dozen seconds, the screen went black, but in a few seconds, it lit up again.

"Minister, it's ready," Eric approached and said.

Hearing this, Cao Ge immediately rose and went to the console.

"Murphy?" Cao Ge tried calling out.

"Murphy is here, Minister Walker, how can I assist you?"

No sooner had Cao Ge's voice fallen than an icy mechanical voice came from the overhead speaker.

"Can you now control all the cabins of the spaceship?" Cao Ge asked.

"Yes, Minister Walker," Murphy answered.

"I need you to tell me how many people in the armed department are still alive, and their specific locations," Cao Ge said, looking at the screen.

A string of codes appeared on the computer screen, rapidly scrolling up and down, filling the screen in just a few seconds.

Then Murphy's voice followed.

"There are a total of 105 survivors in the armed department, including those who have awakened. They are located in the pilot cabin, the special forces hibernation area, the spaceship hall, and an unnamed cabin. Six are in the pilot cabin, ninety-six in the special forces hibernation area, two in the spaceship hall, and one in the unnamed cabin," Murphy answered.

The pilot cabin was his current location; minus the crew technicians, that was exactly six people. The special forces hibernation area must be where those who hadn't yet awakened were located. The spaceship hall should be where those who unexpectedly awoke and were still alive were found, and the unnamed cabin was likely where the "Seed of Fire" program was implemented.

"Minister, what do we do now?" Guy asked.

Ren Fei glanced at Guy, then said, "Murphy, how many people are in relatively sealed-off hibernation cabins?"

"Seventy-nine."

"Lock down those cabin doors, then initiate the hibernation awakening program."

"Remote awakening requires authorization from the Minister or a higher-ranking official."

"Beep!" Cao Ge stretched out his hand and swiped it over the scanner.

"Awakening program has been initiated," Murphy said a few seconds later.

"Eric, next you contact the awakened personnel, bring them to the armory, and distribute weapons to them," Cao Ge instructed.

"Yes," Eric responded.

"Hmm."

"Once all personnel are in place, our next task is to clear every corner of the spaceship until we have completely eliminated those monsters. Do you all understand?"

"Understood," everyone answered.

"Hmm."

"Oh, and if you come across any of those still alive, be careful. They've survived on the ship for so long, no one can guarantee their psychological state at this point. If something feels off, you are permitted to kill them," Cao Ge added.

"Hmm, I'll pass on the orders," Eric nodded and said.

"Good, now get some rest. The awakening program has just begun, and those people will need some time to come out of hibernation. In one hour, you'll make contact with them," Cao Ge said.

Eric nodded his head, no longer speaking.

Cao Ge went to sit in the captain's chair at the center of the pilot cabin, beginning to think about what was to come.

Up till now, the mission could essentially be considered half done; all that remained was to clear out those monsters.

```

With Murphy on board, most of the monsters in the spacecraft became detectable, except in some areas where the surveillance equipment was damaged or in blind spots that required manual inspection.

Cao Ge sat down before a chair, watching the crew members resting on the ground in front of him in the quiet cockpit, his thoughts slowly drifting away.

Unintentionally, he opened the system panel.

Savior System.

Looking at the screen only he could see, Cao Ge thought about many things. It wasn't just the missions. They were almost certainly going to be completed.

The question he pondered was whether this mission system was just some high-dimensional being's joke on him, based on the sci-fi films from his past life as well as his experiences in this life.

Parallel universes, space wormholes—what he considered the stuff of science fiction might well be everyday life for those high-dimensional beings.

Traversing wormholes as if taking a bus, crossing parallel universes as if it were a trip to an amusement park.

Previously, due to circumstances, he did not afford much thought to these issues. Now, with the situation slightly eased, he began to realize them.

In the Three-Body World before, since the life wasn't much different from his original world, he did not notice these issues. But now, the highly sci-fi nature of this world stirred his thoughts like a flood.

Cao Ge knew that thinking too much would only add to his worries and serve no other purpose, yet he couldn't help contemplating these distant issues.

To the high-dimensional beings that might exist, he felt like an ant on the ground, easily crushed if they wished.

Cao Ge leaned back in the chair, lost in thought as he looked up at the starry sky above.

However, Cao Ge quickly adjusted his mindset, because no matter how uncertain the future was, he should focus on the present.

There wasn't much he could do now, so he had to grow stronger by following the established rules.

All Cao Ge wanted to do now was to complete his missions well.

Although his current life was dangerous, with death looming at every moment, Cao Ge didn't dislike it. In fact, when he first learned that he had escaped the repetitive and dull life, he felt a sense of relief.

Three-Body, Deep Space Amnesia, interstellar travel, The Martian, Star Trek…

One after another, these fascinating worlds captivated him.

The vast cosmos, the parallel worlds as numerous as stars, a multitude of universes; the life Cao Ge once dared not even dream of was now within reach.

Cao Ge slowly extended his hand, reaching toward the starry sky beyond the protective shield overhead.

The universe was so vast, yet he was so insignificant.

It was precisely because of his insignificance that he felt as if he were voyaging through an unknown world.

At that moment, Cao Ge's desire for exploration was fully kindled.

This current life, unimaginable to his former self, of interstellar voyages, traversing tens of thousands of light-years, and exploring the boundaries of the universe, the end of time, was no longer an unattainable fantasy.

What then was the destruction of the Three-Body World?

Time passed by, second by second.

The huge spaceship, with most of its chambers alight again, only a few remaining engulfed in darkness, suggesting the damages to the ship weren't too severe.

From outer space, an enormous craft appeared all of a sudden in the pitch-black void, its engines ejecting a huge flame, leaving a splendid trail in the cosmos.
