After the sea of light washed over, what followed was the mass ejection at one-tenth of Light Speed. The ejected stellar matter would sweep across the entire Star System, passing Jupiter in seven hours, and spreading into the endless Universe.
Jupiter shielded the survivors of Callisto Base from everything.
"Conspiracy, conspiracy, it's all a conspiracy!" A sudden voice rang out in the orderly retreat towards the lower levels of the Base.
The crowd looked towards the source of the voice. Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, the man immediately shouted, "Everyone has been deceived! Think about it, how could a perfectly fine Sun undergo a Supernova Explosion? Yue Yuan is deceiving you! He's going to betray Humanity! Don't go down to the lower levels of the Base! Once you go down, your life will be in someone else's hands!"
As he spoke, the man pointed at Yue Yuan, who was speaking on the television screen, with a look of gnashing teeth, as if someone owed him money.
The clueless crowd paused.
They were just habitually trusting the Base. Seeing everyone packing their things and heading to the lower levels, they followed suit. In addition, the news of the Sun and the Alpha Centauri Triple Star System exploding was too shocking. They were all in shock and grief, and didn't think carefully.
Now that someone had shouted this out, some self-proclaimed clever guys started to have ideas.
"Yeah, the Sun undergoing a Supernova Explosion, and together with the Alpha Centauri Triple Star System, how could it be such a coincidence? Such a flawed speech, I almost believed it. What the hell!"
"That's right, what a ridiculous claim. Even if it's really Aliens, it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Believing this, I might as well give Qin Shi Huang V50!"
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then there were exclamations of sudden realization.
But there were also those who held opposing views.
"Believe in science! They've already shown the images, and you still don't believe it? Besides, there's a group of Scientists too. Making up such a lie, do you think the Base Commander is an idiot?"
The opposing voice was immediately met with a sneer, the voice of the person who had spoken first: "Heh, he's certainly not an idiot, but very smart. Otherwise, how could he get so many Experts to support his lies? Think about it, if it weren't for those Experts behind him, without Doctor Gan De, would you have believed it so quickly?
This is what, this is taking advantage of your habitual thinking. You think what Astronomers say is credible? Little do you know that those few have already been controlled by Yue Yuan, and are all endorsing him!"
"But... but videos can't deceive people!" Someone retorted hesitantly. From the sound of his voice, it was clear that this person had been shaken. After all, he really didn't want to believe that the Sun was gone just like that.
"Heh, pictures and videos? Think about it, if you only looked at those scattered videos, and no one told you that it was the Sun exploding, who would know that it was the Sun?
To put it bluntly, aren't there many techniques for synthesizing videos and pictures now? They can easily create similar Star images. Think about it, why is Doctor Gan De there? With an Astronomer in his hands, what similar Star images can't he get?"
"That's right, and what does a Supernova Explosion have to do with Humanity perishing? It's not like Earth is exploding..." Someone in the crowd echoed. Obviously, this guy had no concept of what a Supernova Explosion was.
In fact, there were many such people in the Base. If Yue Yuan hadn't repeatedly mentioned the Alpha Centauri Triple Star System in the video, these people wouldn't even know what it was.
Of course, these people just didn't know much about astronomy, it wasn't to say that they were useless.
Those who could come to Callisto Base basically had some skills. At the very least, they had a job here, so they weren't so unbearable, it was just that everyone specialized in different fields.
Just then, a shout came from the back of the crowd: "What's going on with the team in front? Don't crowd at the entrance of the passage! The people behind can't move! Quickly take your belongings and catch up with the main force!"
As the voice approached, a Warrior in a Security Department uniform was seen hopping towards the crowded area.
The Gravity Environment of Callisto is about one-eighth of Earth's Gravity Environment. Warriors who have stayed here for a long time know how to walk faster and less likely to fall.
"What's going on?" The Warrior arrived at the scene and asked again.
His question silenced the crowd who had been echoing and shouting just now. It seemed that no one wanted to be the first to speak out.
But these people were quite interesting. They didn't want to be the first to speak out, but they all turned their attention to the one who had started it all.
Seeing this, the Security Department Warrior followed the crowd's gaze and saw a bespectacled man standing at the intersection of everyone's gazes. He was about forty years old, wearing a suit and tie, looking quite refined.
"Was it you who was causing trouble?" The Warrior jumped over and asked.
Saying that, he immediately pressed a few times on the device on his left forearm, then snapped two photos of the man with the raised camera.
Clearly, this was to collect the man's facial information and send it back to the system mainframe to retrieve his data.
"Hahaha, what a big charge, slapping me with a troublemaking label right off the bat." The man wasn't afraid, but instead laughed loudly, "It's true that I told everyone to stop, but it's not troublemaking. I'm telling everyone the truth, exposing Yue Yuan's absurd world-ending lies."
"Han Dongxu, a shareholder of Jiuhe Trading Group, arrived at Callisto three months ago for trade..." The warrior read the information he found, then said righteously, "I don't care who you are, and I don't want to waste words with you. I can tell you that your current behavior has already constituted the crime of disrupting public order. This matter can be minor or serious. In this extraordinary period, you can be sentenced to at least three months of detention.
If you fail to heed the warning and delay the evacuation of the masses, resulting in damage to the masses due to the disaster, then you can face at least seven years of imprisonment. I hope you take care of yourself."
"Heh, trying to scare me with the law? Do I look like I was scared into existence?" Han Dongxu wasn't afraid, but instead shouted, "Don't be fooled, everyone! Yue Yuan is anti-humanity, and these people are his lackeys!"
"Hey."
This shout made the warriors maintaining order laugh. Anti-humanity? Lackeys? He must be out of his mind.
Yue Yuan had a lot of prestige among the warriors of the Security Department, and was very popular on Callisto, but now he was being called anti-humanity and accused of deceiving the masses, to the point that this warrior had the urge to laugh.
You could have made up any reason, but you chose this one.
"Everyone, keep moving forward, don't delay the evacuation." The warrior shook his head, loudly urging the crowd to speed up, then turned to Han Dongxu and said, "No one is asking you to go down. If you don't believe it, turn around and go up. There are spacesuits in the closet on the upper left side of the base. Go outside the base and see for yourself. Oh, right, don't blame me if you die."
"Alarmist talk." Han Dongxu snorted but didn't move.
"Xiao Sheng, what's going on here? Why is it stuck for so long? The back has been waiting for more than twenty minutes." Just then, a call came from the back of the line.
"Team leader? There's a guy causing trouble, I'll take care of it right away." The warrior called Xiao Sheng responded, and then, without waiting for his team leader to jump over, he immediately leaned forward, hooked one foot on a raised part of the ground, reached out and grabbed Han Dongxu's arm, and dragged him out.
In one-eighth Earth's Gravity Environment, Han Dongxu was actually yanked out by him and slammed onto the floor with a thud.
