In the crowd of black presses.

Exhausted, Nika touched his back, and the two thick whip marks on it gave him a burning sensation, as if a freshly baked soldering iron was burning his nerves all the time.

This was when he had just stepped off the aircraft, and his movements were slower due to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, and the heavily armed black-armored strong man waved his leather whip and gave him two blows, and the sharp pain that hit him in an instant almost did not make him collapse.

However, Nika didn't dare to say anything, several of his countrymen had already been executed in front of him for one reason or another, so the only thing he could do was to get up desperately and try to speed up his pace, so as not to become the next target of the slaughtered chicken and monkey.

By this time, he had wavered from his original choice.

A few days ago, a group of unidentified men drove trucks with large quantities of fresh food and clean drinking water to his hometown, promising good conditions to recruit workers.

Anyone who was willing to go with them would receive 20 kilograms of flour and three buckets of purified water, as well as some commonly used medicines, which was unimaginably advantageous in Songelny Township, where extreme poverty and famine occurred all year round.

So, Nika, who was born with a leg disability and was in her early forties and had not yet married, happily got into the car with many fellow villagers, hoping to go out to work to earn money and change her fate.

And then after a few rounds, they were sent here.

What he saw and heard along the way made Nika, who was not too stupid in his mind, have an extremely bad premonition, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't do anything, he was just a defenseless pauper, even if he knew that there was an abyss and hell ahead, he was forced to jump helplessly.

“…… Hurry up! Hurry up! Who dares to delay, drag it out and shoot it on the spot!"

A group of armed guards scattered all over the place shouted loudly, heavy guns hung on their backs, leather whips in their hands waved "crackling", and their eyes under the translucent masks were cold and hideous.

Tens of thousands of hungry people had gathered in the square in front of the portal, and they were slowly marching forward in more than thirty columns, and the hungry people were constantly being driven out of large flying machines in the distance, and then all of them were escorted over.

Thousands of armed soldiers, under the command of the officers, shot and killed all those who dared to break away from the ranks and flee on the spot, and after dozens of people's blood sprinkled patches of scarlet on the ground, no one dared to flee again, and they were all pushed and driven to the center of the square.

Some of the female hungry people couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice, but they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest in the movements under their feet, and at this time they had nothing to do but resign themselves to fate.

The huge crowd moved forward unhurriedly, and Nika stole a glance ahead, and by this time he had reached the edge of the square, not too far from the almost miraculous tall portal, only separated by hundreds of huge steps.

Ahead of him, countless hungry people lined up and disappeared into the great portal. But no one knew what was inside the portal, and a pale blue curtain of light blocked all view.

After more than half an hour, Nika finally reached the portal, and a group of armed guards with guns in hand kept an eye on their movements.

Facing the muzzle of the black hole, everyone didn't dare to say anything, and walked into the pale blue light curtain one after another with mechanical steps.

Nika peeked and saw that her companions in front of her were still staggering forward after stepping into the light curtain, as if nothing had happened. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at this distance he could already see the situation inside the light curtain a little.

Soon, he stood in front of the pale blue curtain, and after a little hesitation, he walked in.

As he walked through the light curtain, he felt a slight weight on his body, as if he was being targeted by something in the air, but other than that, everything was normal.

The world inside the light curtain is extremely vast, revealing an eerie tranquility, as if in the dark night sky, with occasional starlight twinkling in the extreme distance overhead, and clusters of nebulae, star clusters, and star bands of different shapes hanging from the extremely high dome.

The people in front of them were continuing to walk inside, and the people outside the light curtain were still pouring in, so Nika continued to follow the crowd inside.

A few minutes later.

Dotted crystals emerged from the void without warning, like beautiful starlight, fluttering into the black oppressive crowd.

All the hungry people who were swept away by the crystal fell down one after another, without struggling, without dodging, without shouting, and died quietly.

Deeper in the portal, under the starry sky of the boundless night, was a huge square, where millions of people lay silently, as if in a deep sleep.

Crystals fall like rain.

Groups of hungry people walked into the curtain of light, as if they had seen nothing, and let the deadly crystal fall on them, and then fell silently.

Only the elders of the Lomenga remnant clan will understand that those beautiful crystals shaped like stars are the main defense mechanism of the base, with the terrifying power to kill all life, and these hungry people are instantly cut off from all vitality by these crystals!

“…… How much is it missing?"

Outside, Salendelle in the flying machine asked faintly.

An officer next to him nodded slightly, and reported: "It's not too much, according to the instrument's calculations, the level of the base's defense energy field has been further weakened, and there are about 60,000 or so more, and it's done!"

"Very good, order the people below to speed up, we don't have much time. Salendelle said.

The officer looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "But the governments of those two countries have now noticed our actions and begun to take measures, so it is becoming more and more difficult to take captives now." ”

"Then we have to do it!"

Salendelle gritted her teeth and said, "Now we have reached a critical moment, we are only one step away from being done, this is the last chance for our great Lomenga clan! Whether our civilization can rise again and regain the dominance of this planet depends on the outcome of this operation!"

"So, no matter how difficult it is, the mission must be completed!"

"Okay, let's go to those small neighboring countries and continue to rob people, and we must make up enough of the required amount. The officer's eyes showed determination, and he agreed in a deep voice.

60,000 people, with the capacity of more than 20 large flying machines, two round trips can basically be done, and at that time, the defense mechanism of the base will be completely shut down due to the exhaustion of energy, and then the clansmen can smoothly enter it and obtain the legacy left by the ancestors.

In a synchronous orbit of tens of thousands of kilometers, an optical stealth satellite is coldly staring at the movement on the ground.
