Chapter 253: The Wandering Blue Star Plan, Initiate!

Chapter 253: The Wandering Blue Star Plan, Initiate!

After returning to the ground, Zhao Zheng went to Song Haitang's dormitory.

At that moment, Song Haitang was having a sumptuous lunch in her dormitory.

As a 7th Rank Master, she enjoyed such privileges! Even the President of Zhenwu University had privately approached Song Haitang, asking if she would consider staying on as a faculty member after graduation.

If she agreed, there was a high possibility that Song Haitang would become the next President of Zhenwu University.

Regarding this matter...

Song Haitang was still considering it.

"Are you eating? Great, I'll just have a quick bite here then." Zhao Zheng sat down directly at the dining table.

Song Haitang, with a beaming smile, put down her bowl, stood up, and served Zhao Zheng some food.

At Zhao Zheng's current level, he could survive without eating.

All he needed was to bask in the sunlight to meet his energy requirements.

However...

Zhao Zheng still enjoyed eating.

He believed that if one didn't eat and had no desire for food, they ceased to be human.

He always maintained that he was a human, not some divine being.

Taking the bowl from Song Haitang, Zhao Zheng began to eat heartily.

Seeing Zhao Zheng enjoying his meal, Song Haitang's appetite improved, and she ate quite a bit as well.

Throughout their meal, neither of them spoke.

Regarding Zhao Zheng's trip to the Spirit Realm, if he were willing to tell her, Song Haitang would listen attentively, but she wouldn't ask proactively.

This was Song Haitang's intelligence at play.

...

Zhao Zheng finished four bowls of rice before stopping.

He wasn't full yet.

But the rice cooker was already empty.

After a brief rest, a mysterious object appeared in Zhao Zheng's hand out of thin air.

"Haitang, I have a gift for you!" Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

"What is this?" Song Haitang was a little curious.

"This is an Extraordinary Item I obtained from the 30th Layer of the Spirit Realm. It's Iron Man's latest Nanite Armor that I got from him on the 11th Layer!" Zhao Zheng explained.

Indeed, the small object in Zhao Zheng's hand was Iron Man's Nanite Armor. It wasn't stolen; Tony willingly gave it to him.

"This thing is of no use to me," Zhao Zheng added. "Take it; it has an excellent flight speed, and you can use it for travel."

This was true.

Even though Song Haitang could already transform into elements, she still couldn't fly.

Although Zhao Zheng had given her a sliding Extraordinary Item before, its flight capabilities were far inferior to Iron Man's Nanite Armor.

According to Tony, the Nanite Armor could reach over five times the speed of sound in the Earth's atmosphere! This flight speed was incredibly impressive.

With this item, Song Haitang's future endeavors would undoubtedly become much more convenient.

However...

Song Haitang didn't take it.

She looked at Zhao Zheng and suddenly asked, "Zhao Zheng, is something bothering you?"

Zhao Zheng was taken aback but smiled and asked, "How did you figure that out? I thought I didn't show any signs of distress."

"It's my intuition," Song Haitang replied. "When one's mental attributes reach a certain level, their intuition becomes more acute."

Zhao Zheng nodded, agreeing, "I see."

He acknowledged this because his mental attributes were also exceptionally high, even surpassing Song Haitang's.

"So, can you tell me what's bothering you?" Song Haitang asked with a hint of concern.

She was aware of Zhao Zheng's formidable strength and his equally strong and confident demeanor.

If something troubled Zhao Zheng, it was undoubtedly a significant matter.

"Did something happen after you came down from the sky? Is it related to the sunlight?" Song Haitang inquired further.

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but smile helplessly, "As expected, I can't hide anything from you.

Zhao Zheng paused, his expression turning grave. He spoke slowly, "I just returned from outer space, and I saw the sun and the monster on it... Haitang, we don't have much time left."

"When I entered outer space, the monster noticed me, but it didn't pay me any attention... This can only mean that its plan to devour the sun is at a critical stage! It can't spare the time to deal with me."

"Also, my perception is quite keen, and I can sense that the monster has already consumed most of the sun, leaving only a small portion at the edge untouched."

Upon hearing this, Song Haitang's face paled.

"So, you're here to say goodbye to me?"

"Yes."

Zhao Zheng calmly analyzed, "Once that monster successfully devours the sun, it's highly likely that it will descend upon our home, the Blue Star, to consume it as well."

"Even if it doesn't come, without the sun's radiance and gravitational pull, the Blue Star will be flung out of this galaxy and will soon become a dead planet!"

"Therefore, staying on this planet is likely a dead end."

The movie The Wandering Earth is just a movie; it's almost impossible to achieve in reality.

Most importantly, Zhao Zheng had a premonition that after the monster finishes devouring the sun, its next target will undoubtedly be the Blue Star! His mental attributes are more than three times that of Song Haitang, so his premonition is very likely to be correct.

Although he can now survive in the universe...

...there are people he cares about living on this planet, and Zhao Zheng dares not take that risk.

"You plan to stop it? How?" Song Haitang asked directly, "If you were confident, you wouldn't have come back to bid me farewell first, right?"

Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "It's true that my current strength is no match for that monster, but that doesn't mean there's no hope of stopping it!"

"As I said, there's still a small unconsumed edge of the sun left, and that's my opportunity!"

"As long as I can get close to that area and absorb sunlight, I can rapidly grow stronger and eventually kill the monster..."

This plan sounded simple and easy.

But executing it would be far from easy! Song Haitang understood this, and her face was filled with worry.

"Don't worry, Haitang," Zhao Zheng reassured her, "Although my current strength is inferior to the monster's, the gap isn't that significant. It won't be easy for it to kill me, so this plan still has a high chance of success."

"Even if I fail, I'll come back alive!"

Song Haitang remained silent, her eyes fixed on Zhao Zheng, filled with deep affection.

"Don't look at me like that; it's not like we're parting forever!"

Zhao Zheng gently patted Song Haitang's head and said, "Time is running out. After I leave, bring Uncle Song and my family to Zhenwu University. Then, inform the higher-ups to initiate the Spark Plan and have them prepare the prototype spaceship."

"If I fail, I'll come back and take you and the remaining people away from this planet!"

The Spark Plan.

It was one of the backup plans that the higher-ups had been preparing.

In fact, Zhao Zheng had recently visited the top-secret "spaceship" that the higher-ups were working on! This spaceship still faced many technical challenges, the biggest of which was its power source.

Zhao Zheng had it prepared so that if his plan failed, he could use his own strength as the power source to push the spaceship into space and wander the cosmos...

(PS: There won't be any cliffhangers. The book is currently in its final stages, and the author wants to write a unique ending. I've been thinking about this lately...)
