Chapter 188: The Past
The father was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"When you were a star thief, did you come back every year to replenish personnel?" Roy asked.
"I don't come back once a year, but I will come back whenever I can." The father replied.
Roy nodded. Sure enough, otherwise it would not be possible to explain the age gap between Kane and Elle and their father.
Father also found a small bench and sat down, and said with a sigh: "There are not many people left who left Nata with your father and me first. Being a star thief is dangerous, more dangerous than fighting. Because we have few people, unlike the regular army, there are enough people to help each other, and the firepower is also insufficient. Especially in the first part of the time, it was more bitter and needed to exchange human lives for our victory. At that time, less than half of the young people I brought out of Natastar were able to survive the first operation. But every time I come back, as long as I want to recruit people, I will definitely be able to recruit them. Without the folks of Nata, your father would not be where he is today. Even the first starship was built together. ”
Roy was silent.
If she is a Nata star, she is also willing to jump on the star pirate ship and give it a fight. It's better than staying here, either hiding in the ground and being terrified, or being eaten by the Zerg.
Even if you don't go, you have to send your children out and leave this desperate place far away. Even if it is difficult, at least there is still a glimmer of light.
It is the father who gives these desperate people a glimmer of hope, so they will do everything they can to help their father. Along the way, Roy also has a rough estimate of Nata's economic situation. If you want to build a starship that can withstand the conditions of the universe, you really have to mobilize the whole planet.
"But then it got a lot better." Recalling the past time, my father always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, "After our foundation is solid, we don't need to fight for our lives anymore." It's a pity that the number of people on Nata must be kept at a certain level, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the upper echelons, otherwise maybe more can be saved. ”
Speaking of saving people, Roy asked, "Father, why didn't the mayor let me take that little kid down?" ”
The smile on my father's lips vanished.
With a long sigh, he asked, "Do you know why the people of Nata are hiding underground?" ”
"Zerg?" Roy replied.
Father nodded. "Above-ground, underground, it's all part of this town. A small percentage of people remain on the ground, and most live underground. Rotate at regular intervals. First, people stay underground all the time, and it is easy to hold back the problem. On the other hand, if everyone is underground and there are no living people on the surface of Nata Star, then when the Zerg arrive, they will dig around looking for food. As a result, no one survived. ”
Roy covered his mouth.
Father continued: "Survival is everyone's instinct. The Zerg are coming, and everyone wants to get back to safety. Not to mention causing chaos, it will lead the way for the Zerg to discover our refuge. Nata Star is more than just one town. When I was a child, several small towns were emptied by the Zerg because of such negligence. Therefore, in the future, whoever is rotated to the ground will never be allowed to return to the ground until the time has passed. This is the rule that the Natarians hold with blood.
"By saving that kid today, you've broken that rule by digging a hole in the that the Natarians forged with their own flesh and blood. Even if there is no one today who wants to go back underground because of this child, in their hearts, there is a wavering in the rule. Once this vacillation erupts under the pressure of the survival instinct, you know what the outcome will be. ”
Roy nodded solemnly.
But in that case, why did the mayor let them down?
No. Roy thought to himself. It should be said that even so, the people of Nata still let her father take her down.
Whether the ground is going through hell at the moment or not, in the depths of the earth, the air is always stagnant and time is always slow. Occasionally, a wheelbarrow passes by, and a bell tied to the wheel reminds people of his arrival. So a dilapidated wooden door was opened, and a shriveled plum was bought.
"Father, tell me about my grandparents." To pass the time, Roy said.
There was a little more difficulty in my father's laughter. He raised his head and looked at the scene that had accompanied him as an adult, and had survived in silence until his child grew up, and had experienced such a long time, but it seemed to remain the same, and he was silent for a long time, and finally spoke quietly.
"Your grandfather was a starship pilot. ...... year He just met your grandmother. The two of them are talented and beautiful, and they are about to start a new life.
"Who would have predicted that this day will change. Your grandfather was falsely accused of smuggling strategic goods and sentenced to life in prison. Later, when he met ****, the sentence was commuted to exile.
"Your grandmother didn't dislike him.
"They never regretted it. The only thing they regret is probably that they erased their children's chance to have a normal life.
"So they give everything they have to help their children win back what is rightfully his."
At this point, Father smiled at Roy. "And more wins."
Roy's eyes crooked.
"Father, have you avenged your grandfather?" Roy asked.
Father nodded. “…… But not quite. ”
Roy's eyes widened.
It's been more than 30 years since my father left Nata!
Instead, when her feet leave the land of Nata, she will immediately begin to take revenge. Unless all grievances are cleared and all sinners are punished, she will never stop. She doesn't eat anything but dry hard bread and water. If necessary, she would use ice, electricity, and needles to pierce between her fingernails to remember the pain that hatred had inflicted on her and her loved ones, and fill her chest with the anger of hatred, and her eyes to shine, until that day when she stood before her enemies and told them that all the pain they had suffered today was their retribution.
She is the daughter of her father. If she is still like this, how can her father let go of the enemy who ruined her grandparents' lives.
On the other side, my father's breathing became rapid. Even if the Zerg attacked, it didn't disappear calmly, but at this moment, there was no trace, and the anger could be faintly seen between the eyebrows.
Suddenly, he blurted out to Roy, "Girl, do you know why I agreed with you to build the New Rose Garden as a shelter?" This federation, no, rotten. Those who are on a vegetarian meal in the corpse position, even the Zerg will be sick to their stomachs after eating it. I spent another twenty years in the Commonwealth because of your mother. Now, I really don't feel the need to stay here anymore. ”
Roy's eyes lit up when he heard this. (To be continued.) )
