The Earth After That

Chapter 6: Interrogation

The voice of the security robot leader rang out. John is more impatient than ever, hoping that the person arrested is a second force. You are wrong, his friend has been arrested.

John tried to pick up the phone, but no one answered. The robot confiscated their phones and took them to the interrogation room.

With that, a man entered. He looked serious, looked at the three children tied up on the ground, and smiled. Hannah felt like she was being teased, she glanced at him. The man laughed again, put his hand on the wall, and said:

"Isn't it enough? Make a mess of the whole research facility. I know your parents. Tell the truth, or you don't want to be exaggerated."

The man named Will threatened. He's been working here for many years. Appointments with the families of his researchers came. Naturally, these smart and mischievous children always left a good impression in his eyes.

Will liked active children like this, although they were very troublesome, he always used a cheerful and friendly attitude towards the three of them.

Luna remembered John's words before, and she quickly answered. The reason it had to be so fast was that Luna was afraid that Jack or Hannah would forget John's instructions, so unlucky enough to tell the truth. So Luna said:

"We just wanted to watch the spaceship launch. I used the glow wire to distract the robot's attention, then jumped on the roof and used a laser to cut a hole. We listened to the whole family's speech. John's family was arrested."

Luna thoroughly explained the situation. Will looked at the calm little girl in front of him and loved it very much. He tilted his head and asked again:

"Using glow wire? Can you be more specific?"

"I used glowing wires around the headquarters to disturb the radar waves, making it impossible for the robot to convert data," Luna explained.

Will held his head, sighing helplessly. The kids who did this look small, but it's a huge thing.

Not only the three of them, at the headquarters another force was deliberately approaching the spaceship launch plan. They made the security robot lose the ability to attack and convert data, and unable to send information to the server, thus creating conditions for outsiders to easily infiltrate.

The strangers did not know where they were, and at this time they only caught three children. But Will was also surprised by Luna's analytical ability and intelligence. It is difficult for anyone to think about or study exactly this type of security robot. And Luna did, but it turned out to be a complete disaster.

At this time, Jack, Luna, and Hannah still do not realize how serious they have done. They were still naive, puzzled by Will's expression.

"Did you guys do something serious?" Hannah asked confused.

Will couldn't believe it, until now Hannah could still ask innocently like that. Of course, extremely serious, not the usual serious.

"If someone takes advantage of a security robot that doesn't work, goes in and steals a spacecraft's central control device, or steals a secret document. That's enough for the plan to fail. So you guys. Do you think it's serious?" Will said angrily.

The three of them now realize their wrongdoing. Instead of being afraid of being scolded by their parents, they were more worried about the spaceship. This shows that Jack, Luna, and Hannah's sense of responsibility and thinking is very high.

But what more can be done now? Jack thought to himself.

Will looked at the three children with a guilty expression. In my heart, I was both angry and hurt. At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside. John appeared. He skipped the meeting before the launch of the spaceship to come and relieve them. Luna, Hannah, and Jack were overjoyed when they saw John, but they were also extremely embarrassed.

"Uncle Will, can I talk to them?" John asked.

"Go ahead, before I bring them to the chief for a statement," Will replied nonchalantly. He was so tired of the kids making trouble. Will likes smart kids but should also be smart at the right time.

John, with Will's permission, put his hand on his friend's shoulder. At this point, all three had gathered into a lump, so John easily hugged them.

"What the hell are you guys doing? You know the whole headquarters is in a mess?" John questioned.

Jack feels guilty, he often curses at John with each other but also keeps quiet and doesn't say a word. At this time, Hannah spoke up:

"We just wanted to see the spaceship launch, we didn't expect such a big thing to happen." Hannah made excuses in a low voice.

John quickly asked for the end of the matter. Currently, the security robots are unable to find strangers within a radius of two kilometers except for three people Jack, Hannah, and Luna. But one thing is for sure, there is a certain force targeting this plan.

John thought, then looked at his watch. Thirty minutes until the spaceship is launched. He fulfilled their wishes before they were taken away for questioning and punished. John said to Will:

"Uncle Will, they want to see the spaceship launch. Anyway, since they're here, let's show them first when it's done and then judge. I guarantee the three of them."

John is very adamant. These four ordinary people often quarrel and do not give in, but when faced with danger or difficulty, all are extremely united. I will also temporarily accept. Because human beings have no balance in terms of money or anything in exchange for each other. If so, it's just a suspicion of some other great power.

Will nodded in agreement to let the three of them go.

With a look of amusement on his apologetic face, Jack was excited when his wish came true. The calamities earlier seemed to have never existed, Jack had completely forgotten.

John and the rest move to the observation room with the glass door. Their field of view in this place is very wide. The room has a set of seats, five newcomers sit in the last row, looking down at the top. The ship uses energy along with a missile that is being targeted. The position is tilted towards the north axis, aiming to fly close to the Sun. The starting point that scientists chose is the Sun. We can think of it as the starting point or the center. Inexplicable, but for John, it was the best at the time.

For scientists, the Sun is the perfect starting point. They even predicted that the spacecraft would go around the galaxy in less than a year. A calculation opened, and scientists have calculated very carefully. Of course, if it doesn't come up with new problems, nothing will change.

John picked up the phone and called his father, Alex answered. John took advantage of the time, saying quickly:

"Did you double-check everything? Was there something missing?"

"Don't worry, I've already checked it out." Mr. Alex said.

But John did not breathe a sigh of relief because of that answer. Because he didn't know what the purpose of that strange force infiltrating the headquarters was. John turned to Will and said:

"The spaceship has no problem."

Will seemed to understand what John meant. He always appeared insecure during the whole process. Particularly, the people who caused the disaster were still happy but forgot their guilt.

John looked at the three of them and sighed.

The spaceship was launched, and the wind was blown away at the same time. Great ship, big and majestic. Everyone there was amazed and proud of what humanity had achieved. Not long after, the spacecraft left the earth's atmosphere. It is defaulted to orbiting the Sun. And that place is also the starting point of its journey and mission.

In front, the computer screen recorded Hope01's progress in space. It is alone in the vast, dark galaxy. It looks so noble because of its sacrifice.

[Hello, we are earthlings. We bring the message of peace to all of you.]

Two sayings that carry the message of humanity have been translated into nearly two hundred languages. The people on the Only Continent were broken. Civilizations and their voices have reached far into space. John and all of them wished someone would answer.

Half an hour of observation passed, and the human party ended. The screen still glows for scientists to observe, and guests like John will have to leave.

But John could not return. Because three of his friends are under investigation. John reluctantly had to stay with them. The four people were taken to the head office's closed room. The atmosphere was tense, the perpetrators bowed their heads in shame.

The head of the headquarters named Heineken got up and banged on the table, startling the four kids opposite. He glanced at each of them. Enraged, Heineken shouted:

"Do you guys know what you did? Hmm, how dangerous it is do you know?"

The three people who caused the disaster continued to bow their heads. So John had to open his mouth to help:

"Headquarters is less angry. They didn't do it on purpose."

"If it's intentional, where will this research facility go?" Heineken couldn't help it, he scolded everyone in the face.

Fortunately, footsteps were coming from nowhere. Four white shirts appear, which turn out to be Jack, Luna, John, and Hannah's, father. The head of the headquarters saw the new arrivals, and his mood softened.

"Mr. Heineken forgive them. We checked very carefully and didn't lose anything important. Probably the strange intruder just wanted to watch the launch of the spaceship. We promise to bring them back to teach them. strict coaxing." Jack's father said, as he spoke he looked at Jack. Jack was locked in, his face distorted.

"That's right, you spare these brats. We'll re-educate them." Hannah's father followed Jack's father's words.

Parents are also no stranger to their disturbance. I don't know how many times they have to beg people to forgive their children's stupid actions.

Luna's mother and John standing next to her could only shake their heads in dismay. Fortunately, because the families of John, Luna, Hannah, and Jack are all influential figures in the headquarters, Mr. Heineken is very respectful. However, he still didn't let go of his annoyed expression. Heineken left outside and did not forget to add:

"Bring them back, don't let me see you again."

The whole crowd was as happy as "opening the flag in the stomach". The tense atmosphere from earlier disappeared. Fathers go back and forth to bring their children's ears back. Everywhere they passed they heard screams, which sounded very pathetic.

It must be said that it is worth it, it is worth it because it caused a disaster.
