Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones

On the Earth battlefield, Tom clearly saw the changes occurring within the Bluetoth Fleet.

He observed that large-scale engagements were decreasing, as the Bluetoth Fleet began a comprehensive regrouping and overhaul, while simultaneously, the supply of materials from Venus started to increase.

The number of reconnaissance satellites began to grow, various methods of exploration intensified, and the quantity of unmanned combat equipment also increased.

All of this clearly and unmistakably indicated one thing.

The Bluetoth Fleet was planning an unprecedented, largest-scale offensive.

Combining this with the current overall situation, Tom immediately understood.

"Venus can't hold on any longer; they're cornered and desperate…"

Tom felt no mockery toward the Bluetoth; instead, his heart was filled with solemnity.

A battle for survival before death, a desperate, all-out strike—this was the most formidable and fatal kind.

If they lost this battle, the Bluetoth Civilization would be annihilated! In such a situation, how could they not go all out?

He must block this wave of attack! If he won this time, he would truly, completely achieve victory!

While the Bluetoth Fleet was making intense preparations, Tom likewise dared not be careless and was also preparing with all his might.

Countless space mines were scattered into space, one backup supercomputing base after another was constructed, along with a large number of unmanned warships, unmanned turrets, interstellar missiles…

War clouds gathered over Earth. A great battle was imminent.

Time slowly passed under this tension, which was almost suffocating.

At this moment, on Venus, beneath the thick clouds, an extremely ordinary event, one that had occurred countless times on Venus, was currently unfolding.

Based on Venus's complex meteorological mechanisms, an ordinary acid rain was underway.

Endless sulfuric raindrops fell from the sky, striking the land full of lava and intense heat, and also striking the countless building complexes spread across the land.

Amidst this ordinary acid rain, another ordinary event occurred.

A factory, due to the increasingly harsh environment on Venus, had its airtightness compromised under the continuous onslaught of strong winds and torrential rain. Venus's thick atmosphere immediately pressed into the factory's interior, triggering a series of explosions.

Approximately a thousand square meters of the factory building were destroyed, about dozens of Bluetoth died on the spot, and over a thousand were injured.

In the past years, even before Human Civilization began replenishing water on Venus, such incidents had occurred many times.

People had long grown accustomed to it.

But perhaps due to certain changes that had quietly taken place, this extremely ordinary event triggered completely unforeseen changes for anyone.

These injured individuals did not stay in the hospital to recuperate; instead, in a state of panic, they, along with some eyewitnesses, rushed desperately to the space elevator base, broke through the staff's obstruction, and surged into the cable cars, determined to leave this hellish world of Venus and go into space.

Originally, this was just an ordinary small-scale incident, nothing significant at all.

But this time, for some unknown reason, even more people joined them in their panic, and together they began to scramble for seats on the space elevator cable cars, as if this was the last shuttle, and missing it would mean never being able to leave Venus again.

The riot triggered by space elevator No. 78 quickly spread, and in just a few hours, it had engulfed the entire planet.

The total population of over ninety billion working on Venus was in complete chaos.

Since nearly a decade ago, the environment on Venus had been deteriorating and showed no signs of improvement.

Long-term suppression and long-term fear finally broke people's spirits at this moment.

At this moment, people everywhere, whether in factories or mines, plantations or hospitals, shopping malls or schools, were using every method they could think of to rush desperately to the space base.

Some people, due to insufficient train seats, even chose to put on spacesuits and walk directly across Venus's lava-covered ground to the space elevator base.

In the city clusters, there were cries and brawls everywhere. Everyone's eyes were red, desperately fighting for the only train seats available.

But even upon arriving at the space elevator base, people had to face a second scramble.

Even if they eventually secured a seat on the shuttle, they still had to guard against others' attacks to keep their seat!

Chaos, chaos, complete chaos.

This planet-wide, civilization-wide upheaval was immediately reported to Chief Haiwei.

Chief Haiwei made a decisive decision and initiated another civilization-wide broadcast.

His figure appeared on every screen, where he tearfully and sincerely pleaded with people to calm down, return to their posts, and avoid chaos and fighting.

He repeatedly assured them that the final offensive was about to begin, that Earth would soon fall into their hands, and that the situation would soon change.

In the past, relying on his personal prestige, this chaos would have quickly subsided.

But this time, it was useless.

No matter how much he suffered, even to the point of tears, no one listened to his words anymore.

The chaos not only failed to be contained but intensified.

Finally, in that building constructed within the canyon, Chief Haiwei abandoned all attempts.

He sat before the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at Venus's lava-covered land, thick clouds, and violent acid rain, silently lost in thought.

He saw countless large and small spacecraft swaying, clearly taking off forcibly before being ready, flying toward space, but exploding directly before flying very high, burned down by Venus's thick, hot atmosphere;

Some spacecraft successfully took off but were directly destroyed by several rocket launchers from the ground;

He saw countless vehicles rushing wildly and desperately through the crisscrossing traffic pipelines, a series of accidents occurring, and he also saw countless pipelines collapse, countless people perishing in the inferno;

He also saw dense crowds of people leaving the base in spacesuits, walking on Venus's lava-covered ground, only to fall like stalks of grain after a short distance, and he saw the main cable of the space elevator, reaching straight into the clouds, collapsing with a roar under the vengeful attacks of those who couldn't secure a seat, crashing heavily onto Venus's surface.

Doomsday had arrived.

Under the opponent's decade-long persistence in replenishing water for Venus, the Bluetoth Civilization's doomsday had arrived.

Chief Haiwei heard creaking sounds coming from the room, seemingly overwhelmed by the immense atmospheric pressure on Venus.

Clearly, some parts of the Chief's residence had malfunctioned.

"Chief, you must leave immediately…"

Chief Haiwei waved his hand, making no movement.

An hour later, the Chief's residence collapsed with a crash, merging with the Venusian land.
