Chereads / Nero: Biohazard / Chapter 14 - Extinction

Chapter 14 - Extinction

A few minutes later after the crabbage wave passed by...

Nero went to the market in order to sell his catch to the merchants.

After that, Nero went back to the spot he was previously log out off and plan to wait for Frost to log in back into the game.

He sat at the top of collapsed hill and re-arrange the content of his inventory while waiting for Frost.

An unknown time has passed by but there are still no sight of Frost yet. Nero thought maybe Frost has something he had to do in the real life because on the friend list Frost's name has deemed offline.

Womp! Womp! Womp! Womp!

The alarm he set has turn on and it means it is about time for his next surgery to commence.

*Sigh*

"In the end, Frost didn't came online." Nero said disappointingly.

He then opened the game interface and select setting and press the log out option.

...

The VR nano machine glasses slowly close off and went beside his eyes. He then heard foot steps coming outside his ward.

"Nero are you awake?" Nero heard a familiar feminine voice and replied, "Yes, Mom."

Then, the door was opened and his mom along with other hospital stuffs came in.

"It is time for your next surgery." his mom said.

"Where is dad mom?" Nero asked.

"He is on the way here..."

Both of them chatted for a short while and moments later his dad came.

"Hello son, how have you been?" his dad said.

"I'm okay, dad." Nero replied.

"Mom, Dad did you found Frost whereabouts in real life?" Nero asked.

"T-that's..." Both of them stutter as they replied hesitantly.

Upon hearing that single word Nero knows that they yet to find Frost real life whereabouts.

"It's okay, I'm sure you would find Frost sooner or later." Nero said with a smile.

"Is this surgery the last one of them all?" Nero asked.

"Yes, son. This surgery would be the last one and there will be no more in the future." his mom said.

"I promised that after this surgery I will take you on a tour to the whole new planet Mars." his dad said as he held Nero weak hands.

"B-But I can't see anyway." Nero said.

"..."

Both of them went silent and don't know how to reply for a moment.

Nero eyes have no sign of life and it was all colored gray with no iris nor pupil on it. It was the disease that plaque the new generation that were born in new Terraform Mars. The children were born with atleast 1 or 2 disabilities, but Nero was one of those rare cases that have atleast more than 3 disabilities. Most children like Nero has a survival rate less than 2% and due to his family situation Nero survive all this time with the help of tons of resources.

"T-that is why you need this surgery in order to see." his dad said stuttering.

"Can I enter Gods Domain while the surgery was ongoing like the last previous surgeries I had?" Nero asked.

His father then ask the doctor along with the hospital stuffs that went with his wife. "No, that is not possible because we will going to do surgery on the eye and the Vr machine need to connect at the eye."

"Nero, the doctor said that is not possible this time." his dad said to Nero.

"Okay." Nero said disappointed.

"It's near 3pm now. We need to move." The doctor said to Nero's parents.

As they readily preparing for the transport of Nero to the surgical room a man in a blacksuit with black sunglasses went into the room hastily.

"Is Mr. X Æ A-12 Musk in here!?" the man in black shouted.

"!!!"

Everyone present was startled and Nero's dad answered, "Yes."

"I came to report something urgent." the man in black said as he went closer to Mr. Musk.

"Can I whisper it into your ear?" the man in black ask for permission.

"Go ahead." Mr. Musk agreed.

Then the man in black went a lil closer and whispered the contents of his report.

"Space Station F-0531 has been destroyed."

These 6 words was like a nuclear bomb for Nero father.

"What!?" Mr. Musk was taken a back and couldn't believe what he heard.

He then look at everyone inside the room especially his son who is about to get a surgery.

His wife notice the worry on his face and said, "It's okay, just go. I still with Nero."

Nero also agreed and said, "It's okay dad if you are not in here this time."

"Thank you and good bye son." Nero's father said and bid farewell. He existed the room and went to the emergency center of SpaceX.

'Space Station F-0531 has been destroyed?' Nero muttered. Nero heard the whisper due to his enhanced hearing from his previous ear surgery.

He eventually brush off the thought as he was escorted to the surgical room.

Although he can't see anything he can still feel and hear everything. Furthermore, Nero could feel the emptiness the whole way was in.

...

"How did Space Station F-0531 has fallen?" Mr. Musk askes the man in black.

"I don't know sir. I was just ask to report those 6 words to you." he replied.

"Tsk. Tsk." Nero father click his tongue.

After a while, he finally arrived at the HQ of SpaceX.

Scientists were busy with the current predicament and one scientist went to Mr. Musk to report.

"President, let's come this way. We have the footage before the disaster happened." the scientist said.

Mr. X Æ A-12 Musk followed him. The man in black was long gone to his team and left Mr. Musk with the scientist.

The size of a single Space Station is the same size as Ceres the biggest asteroid ever recorded. Each Space Station house around 1 million humans and there are only 26 Space Station exist as of today and now it reduces into 25 as F-0531 has fallen.

The scientist played the video on the massive screen inside the auditorium room.

___

Inside F-0531 just before the fall.

People were living like a normal human being. Some have work to do and some just strolling the street.

But one thing in common. Almost all are playing Gods Domain.

Children were playing at the field and robots roam the area patrolling.

Then suddenly, all things went white as a blinding light manifested.

___

The screen went into no signal mode.

"..."

A moment of silence has come at the auditorium room.

"What could be the cause of that?" Mr. Musk asked.

"Let's go see the data." The scientist suggested.

Both of them existed the auditorium room and went into the central database. In there, they could see the space data and saw the outer space data of F-0531. The size of F-0531 at the space map was like at the size of a basketball from 100 meters perspective and from a far a long line is coming its way towarss the Space Station.

"There!" Mr. Musk shouted. "Zoom in on that thing!"

A streak of long line coming and the data shows that it was running at the speed 10x of speed of light.

Along its way, it destroyed numerous asteroid and even pierce a moon from planet Jupiter before hitting F-0531 who is at the center belt of Mars and Jupiter.

"Just what is that?" All of them wonder what that thing is.

"Dr. Flinstone show me the real time data right now!" Nero father asked as he notice an abnormality about the incident. "Also what time is the F-0531 got destroyed?"

"It's only 1 hour has passed by." another scientist answered.

Mr. X Æ A-12 Musk raised an eyebrow.

"Follow my order! Prepare for 100% space defense! We may be under attack from an unknown alien race!"

"!!!"

"What!?"

Everyone present was taken a back and no one take those words as a joke because they previously detected a distress signal from only 100 million light years away. Using Earth who is now Mars human civilization technology that only uses nuclear power to communicate with the other signal was an impossible task. The distress signal was detected from only 5 years ago.

Mr. X Æ A-12 Musk went hastily at the center where a black button is located which have the most maximum security that can only be access with a Musk bloodline. He pressed the button and emergency siren all over the planet was on including all remaining 25 Space Stations.

In all Jupiter's 79 moons including the one who got a hole now, numerous massive nuclear powered turrets were on alert.

Each Space Stations were also have those turrets that were stationed on Jupiter's moons. Additionally, spaceships were patrolling the vicinity and giant Hexagonal Energy shield protected each Space Station.

In all Areas the most protected place were the new Terraform Planet Mars that house all important figures of humanity including their selective relatives.

...

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

At the HQ of SpaceX...

"Everyone look!" a female scientist shouted that caught almost everyone's attention.

"Zoom that in!" Nero's father shouted.

In the giant screen were the star map was located. At the vicinity of planet Pluto small dots keeps appearing one by one.

"Identify that!" Mr. Musk shouted as he ordered his people.

Moments later... "Mr. Musk! Those dots were ships of unknown origin!" a man shouted.

"Notify everyone! All alert on max level! This is not a drill!" Nero's father ordered.

...

At Mars in Nero location.

Nero was already lying on the hospital bed sleeping. He was put a sleep the moment he was on bed.

"Get ready. The operation will commence." the surgeon said.

...

Outside the surgical room. The people were evacuating into the negative floor. The negative floor were the floor that is located 10 thousands meters underground of mars. It was created incase of this such events.

The location of Nero was the last floor of SpaceX Hospital and it was also underground.

His mother still didn't went the evacuation area despite the urges of her attendants.

The hospital stuffs that were attending Nero's surgery is still didn't know what is going on outside.

...

At the HQ of SpaceX.

The people loss all hope as the dots were appearing before is now a massive fleet that almost covered half of the solar system star map.

The defence system has fallen down. The AI have been hacked and blocked.

If surrender is an option they would surrender, but the enemy is killing the people on those stations they already conquered.

Seconds turn into Minutes, Minutes turn into Hours.

Just a few hours of fighting. The few remaining human civilization after the home Planet Earth became unhabitable was massacred and only the people near planet Mars including the only 3 space stations left.

...

An unknown time has passed by and the 3 remaining space stations were also destroyed.

The enemy who thought planet Mars was the home planet of the creatures they just hunt landed on the planet.

They sent scout ships that were smaller than average to roam the whole planet and the mother ship were the responsible to scan the whole planet for possible resources with value to mine.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

The scouts have arrive at the HQ of SpaceX and found some people. Then they communicated to their superior about what they found.

...

"We all going to die!!!"

The same phrase was repeatedly been shouted by the people who panicked after seeing the massacre through the cameras.

Nero's father is long gone from the HQ and went where his family is at. If they're going to die anyway he rather want to die with his family.

...

"@&₱/'!₱='/#='!₱=" the alien said to the human who trembled before him.

The human saw his enemy who were coated with armor using with unknown material to them holding with his energy gun.

Then, something unexpectedly happened. The alien pressed some buttons from his arm and unexpectedly spoke the same language as Earth Human civilization spoke.

"!!!"

The people was taken a back from such event. Then the alien took off its helmet to befold his face.

Another unexpected thing happen. The face of the alien who the humans thought as a gruesome distorted face turn out to be as a human too.

"Hello, my name is Dark Star from planet Namit." Dark Star said with a smile.

Then his subordinate came to report something to him.

"Sir, this planet have zero valuable resources. Additionally, the planet is still on its developing process." the subordinate said using their mother tongue.

The smile on Dark Star face faded away and ordered to kill them all.

"Retreat." Dark Star ordered.

All the aliens that are in planet Mars flow away to outer space.

...

Inside of giant spaceship that were the same size of Earth's moon.

"Ready the Star Destroyer." Dark Star ordered.

All the personnel inside the Star Destroyer were preparing for a shot.

...

"Husband!"

"Wife!"

The husband and wife finally met each other crying at each arms.

"How is Nero?" Mr. Musk asked his wife.

"They still didn't finish the operation." his wife replied crying.

Then the husband told his wife what happened upstairs. The wife broke down crying.

"Don't worry they won't find us here." Mr. Musk reassures the worry of his wife.

"We need to get inside and stay beside Nero." the husband suggested.

"Yes." The wife agreed as they both went inside.

Seconds turn into minutes...

Both of them don't believe in God but as this moment they pray for one.

...

"Sir, the Star Destroyer is ready." a subordinate reported.

"Okay, on my signal fire the thing." Dark Star replied.

"In 1... 2... 3... Fire!!!" Dark Star shouted.

Then a giant laser beam fired from the Canon of Star Destroy. The color was bright blue light like a dwarf sun.

"Let's go!" Dark Star forces went away in a stream of light.

...

Nero and his parents was by his side. The doctors were still on operation.

The people who went underground were still trembling in fear and the children were still playing IT. The elderly were laughing ignorant to whats to come.

"!!!"

An Earthquake occurred that shook all life. Then a blinding light flash before them.

Boooooooooom~!

The whole planet Mars exploded!
