Dwarf Galaxy No. 1, the apocalypse, the cleansing of all living things!
Riel was a newbie who had just joined the Science Department three days ago on a habitable planet in the dwarf galaxy called Bran. According to the system, he was supposed to undergo emergency training that would last for about 20 Bran days.
However, no one had time to care about him now. Everything was in chaos.
About 10 Bran years ago, the Space Department discovered a terrifying and mysterious phenomenon. The star around which Bran was orbiting, under the guidance of a mysterious force, had deviated from its original orbit and was flying toward a star about seven Bran light-years away from them.
The parliament kept the shocking discovery of the Space Department under a top-secret lockdown. At the same time, they kept increasing the budget for the Science Department and the Space Headquarters.
However, three Bran years ago, it was still leaked by someone and caused a great deal of terror.
In the history of the Bran Star, there were many legends, and the most common one was the supernova explosion phenomenon observed by the ancient Brans. In the dark night, it still illuminated the entire world as if it was daytime, triggering one great upheaval after another in ancient times.
At that time, the Brans were still in an era of ignorance. They called the supernova explosion phenomenon the birth of a white star. They thought it was a disaster and an ominous omen.
In the past 1,000 years, this kind of meteorological disaster occurred more and more frequently. There was even one night 300 years ago when four white stars appeared at the same time!
At that time, the Dynasty was the most brutal in the history of Bran. After the four white stars shone, the Dynasty was quickly overthrown. Then, they gradually moved from an era of ignorance to an era of science.
Today, the total number and frequency of White Stars appearing had reached a terrifying level.
The Space Headquarters could no longer hide it, but no one knew what was going on. Who was it that was' attacking 'their star?
They could not even crack the mysterious force that was guiding their star.
The catastrophe appeared earlier than predicted in the top-secret report by the Science Department. It would take a long time for their star to collide with another star seven light-years away, so it was not urgent. This was also the reason why the report was kept secret. According to the prediction, the apocalypse would happen in the distant future.
However, the increasing radiation indicated that there was something wrong with the entire star system. The radiation would continue to increase, and by then, all life on Bran would be blown away by the wind of radiation.
The end of the Brans had come. Although they did not know why they were attacked or who the attackers were, they were facing extinction.
Riel seemed to be studying a few reports, but they were all relatively old ones. One of them was a suggestion made by a great scientist three years ago, suggesting to give up on saving their star and instead save Planet Bran itself.
The student of this great scientist is even more radical. He even suggested to give up Bran Xing, build a spaceship, and let a group of people escape first.
This radical student was the famous genius cosmologist Oz. He was the senior brother that Riel admired. A year ago, he had been assassinated by a radical organization under the accusation of unfair evildoers.
When he died, it was said that he was laughing coldly.
Riel felt the cold. Although he did not know where it came from, the cold made him shiver.
When it wasn't late at night, he would often dream of his Senior Brother sneering at him.
It was unknown when the chaos started, but it had reached its peak three months ago.
The space headquarters observed the unnatural gathering of the five stars. It was as if there was a mysterious force guiding them, wanting to gather them together and use their accumulated mass to cause a great collapse and detonate them.
This was the first time such a mysterious phenomenon was directly observed in outer space other than their own star. This proved that there was a terrifying existence of a higher level of life that was leading this calamity.
Riel's mother had shot herself last month. She was a devout believer and believed that God was punishing the Brans for their greed and various sins over the past hundred years. It was unforgivable. In order to seek forgiveness from God, she chose death.
Riel did not feel sad. This was because when he looked at the bloody hole in his mother's head, for some reason, his senior brother's sneer kept appearing in his mind.
His father had been shot to death ten days ago. That day, he had just received an offer from the science department when he saw his father lying in a pool of blood on the street.
He still did not feel sad. He silently collected his father's body and returned home with his only remaining relative, his young sister.
Just last night, his sister had almost died as well. This time, it was not someone else, but he himself who had fired the shot!
He thought that he was rational enough, but when he saw the terrified look in his sister's eyes, he still failed.
That shot was missed by him.
Since the first shot had failed, he did not plan to fire a second shot. Today, he planned to try to hide his sister in the underground spaceship secretly built by the science department.
He did not know how many spaceships there were, nor did he know where they were located on Bran. He only knew of one spaceship — the one he had obtained the qualification to enter ten days ago.
After he entered the science department, he realized that the recruitment process was actually a form of screening. He had been chosen.
However, it was impossible for his young sister to be chosen. She could only stay on the Bran Star that was about to perish. She would either be torn to pieces by those who had abandoned her, starve to death at home, or die a painful death in the wind of radiation together with Bran Star. There were no other possibilities.
He wanted to end her life rationally, but at the last moment, he did not succeed.
Therefore, he wanted to quietly hide her in the underground spaceship.
This spaceship was just a ferry, a ferry from the ground to the outer orbit of the planet. There must be a bigger one in outer space. With the power of the Bran people, they could only build one real spaceship.
Therefore, what blocked him was not only the increasingly chaotic situation outside, but also the inspection of the science department's base. There was also the inspection in outer space. It was full of difficulties.
Riel clearly knew that his actions were unwise. If his sister was discovered, he might lose the qualification to board the spaceship.
But he still did it. Once he decided on something, he would do his best to complete it, whether it was a success or failure.
He used the luggage to hide his sister in it, and used some of his innovations in the experiment to deceive the science department's inspection equipment. He had already figured out a few of the inspection equipment in the past two days. Just now, under the cover of reading the report, he hacked into a few of the procedures of the luggage conveyor.
Everything went smoothly, and no one noticed anything strange about him.
The spaceship took off in the night. Under the despairing gazes of countless people on the ground, it flew into the sky.
Docking, boarding, assigning …
After a long process, he didn't know if his sister, who was hidden in the luggage, was still alive.
Although he had taken many precautions in the luggage, he still didn't know.
In fact, he didn't even know if the luggage had been abandoned by the spaceship. He had already lost trust in the council.
In the cabin that he was assigned to, he interacted with the people in the cabin normally. There was not a trace of abnormality.
Another ten days passed, and the spaceship still hadn't taken off. Riel didn't check the luggage either.
He couldn't go, or he would be discovered.
He had left high-calorie compressed food in the luggage and told his sister how much she could eat every day. He also told her that he would only be able to pick her up after a long time. He didn't know if his young sister could survive that long in such a small and dark space.
He had already done everything he could.
As long as no one came to catch him, it meant that his sister hadn't been discovered.
As long as the spaceship took off, even if it was discovered, she might survive.
Another ten days passed, and the spaceship finally took off. Riel didn't know how many people were on the spaceship, or how many people on the ground were in anger and despair. But these people were lucky, and they were full of unknowns.
But on the day of the spaceship taking off, he even temporarily forgot about his sister in the luggage.
Because, outside the spaceship, in the starry sky that could be seen with the naked eye, they caught a glimpse of an extremely advanced spaceship flying past!

Today, he worked overtime and came back late. He had no choice but to rush.
