Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 579

< Chapter 579.

Chapter 579.

“Now that you’ve received Celeste ahead of schedule, even though your current strength is still meager, you should have a fighting chance against them!”

Josie Quinn, please-you must protect this planet. Protect this world!”

“Your responsibility is no longer just yourself; it is every human being on this planet!”

“I’ll stop here. I’m leaving Earth to you now!”

“Good luck!”

Valerie Vance slowly delivered a final military salute to the camera.

Josie felt a surge of profound respect.

Though she wasn’t a soldier, she held immense reverence for heroes like Valerie, who sacrificed everything for their country and cause. She couldn’t help but return the salute, even though Valerie could no longer see it.

Valerie was her mother, and Josie was her daughter-the successor to her will.

The weight of this burden pressed heavily onto Josie’s shoulders.

The video ended.

Celeste returned to her dormant state, floating in the air until Josie reached out and gently took her back.

Cyrus Finch arched an eyebrow.”I didn’t expect things to be this complicated.”

“It is very complicated,” Josie agreed.”I thought I had already guessed the truth of this world, but I never imagined there were so many hidden

secrets.

“I thought the Interstellar Marauders would just plunder and leave. I didn’t think they’d keep humans as livestock for food. It’s intolerable.”

“Survival of the fittest is the law of the universe, no matter where you go,” Cyrus said.

“It seems my responsibility isn’t just to protect the people of Sierra City, but all of humanity,” Josie said with a bitter laugh. “My mom really knows how to assign tasks! I just wanted to mind my own business and lead the people of Quinshaw Base to survive this apocalypse in peace.” “That’s still an option,” Cyrus suggested.

“If I hadn’t seen this video, I truly wouldn’t have cared about the survival of the outside world. But since my mother spoke, I can’t turn a blind eye or a deaf ear.”

“Because besides being the future warrior Valerie Vance, she is also my mother!”

“She gave birth to me, raised me, and sent me Celeste. I can fail anyone else, but I can’t fail her. She was the only person in this world who ever truly loved me.”

With every word, Josie’s gaze grew steadier. By the time she finished, her entire aura had shifted.

Yes, the moment she had been reborn, she had wanted to be selfish. She only wanted to live for herself; the lives of others meant nothing to her. But seeing her mother’s heroic, fearless silhouette and that gaze of sacrifice for a belief, she felt a sense of shame.

She didn’t deserve to be Valerie’s daughter.

“If you want to protect all of humanity, you’re going to have a lot more work to do,” Cyrus said.

“But I have you, don’t I?” Josie turned to Cyrus with a bright smile.”I assume we re comrades now. You’ll help me, right?”
