Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 167 The Sun!

Some of the flying debris even grazed Jiang Yang's face.

Despite clearly feeling the pain on his face and the warmth of the blood flowing through it, Jiang Yang remained completely unmoved.

He temporarily shifted his attention from the images in his memory and looked at the astronauts waiting nearby.

According to the mission rehearsal, if an accident occurs, the astronauts should take swift action, prioritizing ensuring that Jiang Yang can continuously, clearly, and completely view the image containing the mysteries of the apocalypse.

But at that moment, what he saw was not the well-trained astronauts handling the disaster in an orderly manner, but a scene that was almost completely unexpected.

He saw that inside the huge space station compartments, wires and equipment were exploding with bangs, and scorching flames were shooting out from every gap. Thick smoke had already enveloped most of the interior compartments.

The astronauts were also caught in the chaos and changes that enveloped the entire space station. Some were injured, some were thrown to the ground, and they almost instantly lost the ability to deal with the unexpected situation.

Damn it, this apocalypse isn't just about earthquakes on Earth!
Even if you are hundreds of kilometers away in space, hiding in this space station will not save you from the apocalypse!

"Advisor Jiang!"

A loud roar reached his ears. Still maintaining absolute composure under the influence of the drugs, Jiang Yang turned around and saw Zhuo Fangting, his head and face covered in blood, fiercely lunging towards him, using his body to shield him from the flying debris from the explosion of a square device.

His intravehicular activity (IVA) suit was ripped, and blood gushed from his arm, the wound so deep that bone was visible.

Jiang Yang's brain was working at lightning speed.

At this moment, communication between the space station and Earth has most likely been cut off. Even if it hasn't, the damage to numerous devices would make it absolutely impossible for them to obtain information from here.

So……

We can only gather information through visual observation, by relying on our own eyes.

How are you doing now?

"I'm fine!"

"protect me!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Amidst the chaos and constant shaking of the space station's cabin, Jiang Yang staggered toward the porthole.

Outside the porthole, the enormous planet still floated silently.

But unlike its usual deep blue color, it now appears to have an extra layer of grayish-yellow.

Was it because the earthquake caused dust and other materials to be pushed into the atmosphere?
Furthermore, the Earth seemed brighter than it had ever seen before.

Brighter?
This caused the apocalyptic earthquake... and it might even increase the Earth's brightness?

What kind of mechanism is this? How is this possible?

Jiang Yang observed carefully, intently, gathering all available information possible.

The space station module was still spinning, and the Earth in front of us quickly moved out of sight, and another bright planet came into view.

It hung silently in the vast sky, as pure and flawless as a jade plate. Jiang Yang looked at it closely and even felt a little glare.

Is it too bright?

Jiang Yang was startled again.

This planet is clearly the moon. And in the past, even without an atmosphere to block its light, the moon could never have been so bright as to be almost blinding!
Its brightness has increased, just like Earth's!

So……

boom!
Another explosion came from behind, shaking the entire rotating cabin violently once more. At the same time, a muffled groan came from Zhuo Fangting behind them.

In Jiang Yang's memory, even the deep, bone-revealing gash on his arm did not affect him in the slightest.

Such a person with such terrifyingly unwavering willpower was now unable to control himself from letting out a muffled groan...

Jiang Yang's heart was as hard as steel; he felt no pity or concern for him whatsoever.

His attention remained firmly fixed on the space and planets outside the porthole. "Protect Comrade Jiang Yang!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Amidst the desperate shouts, heavy, chaotic footsteps echoed, indicating that countless people were converging on Jiang Yang.

Through the faint reflection of the glass, Jiang Yang saw that a wall of people had already gathered behind him.

boom!
Another muffled explosion rang out, and at the same time, a tongue of fire suddenly shot out.

If the flames are allowed to continue burning, they could not only cause other equipment to explode, but also lead to a large consumption of oxygen in the space station cabin, resulting in even more serious consequences.

He saw an astronaut leave the formation without hesitation, rush directly to the flame jet point, and then use his body to block the gap.

The flames were blocked and, due to the lack of oxygen, seemed to be gradually weakening and threatening to go out. The astronaut's entire body was trembling violently, as if he were enduring immense pain.

Jiang Yang remained unmoved and made no response.

The space station continued to rotate, and soon the brightening moon disappeared from view. A massive planet, about the size of the moon but radiating light and impossible to look directly at, came into Jiang Yang's view.

Jiang Yang subconsciously closed his eyes.

It was too bright to be observed visually.

So……

"I need a pair of sunglasses, or any kind of sunglasses, solar visual observation equipment, anything is fine!"

"Yes!"

Another astronaut agreed and also left the human wall, rushing towards the passage where debris was flying and sparks were flying.

Zhuo Fangting shouted, "Send two more people!"

"Yes!"

Two more astronauts rushed into the passageway.

In less than half a minute, an astronaut staggered back, holding a pair of glasses in his hand.

The other two astronauts were nowhere to be found.

Jiang Yang took the black glasses, put them on, and looked at the sun again.

Now, although the sun is still bright and dazzling, its brightness has been greatly reduced, and it can be observed directly with the naked eye.

But... even with the sunglasses dimming the light, is the sun still this bright?

That's not right, that's not right! The sun isn't that bright!
Jiang Yang was absolutely certain of this. He had observed the sun before using the same type of sunglasses, and he couldn't recall it ever being this bright!

So……

It's not that the Earth and the Moon have become brighter, but that the Sun has become brighter!
boom!
Another explosion rang in their ears.

At that moment, Jiang Yang not only felt the vibration of the space station, but also clearly saw a crack appear on the special porthole glass in front of him.

It seemed to have its own life, spreading quietly, silently, and rapidly on the glass.

Jiang Yang took a light breath.

Time is up.

The next moment, the entire pane of glass shattered. A sudden gust of wind, generated by the pressure difference, propelled Jiang Yang's body out of the window in an instant.

Feeling his body swelling, his saliva boiling, and the clear signs of his life slipping away, Jiang Yang took one last look at the Earth before losing consciousness.
