Although more than 100,000 people were killed in the military colonies established by humans on the moon and the military bases in lunar orbit when the disaster came, the collapse of the moon's gravitational field and the subsequent disaster did not affect the military colony on Mars.

Before the Cataclysmic Age, a Martian military colony was under construction, with 5,000 soldiers and scientists stationed there, and a permanent ecosystem was established. Using the ice mined in the polar regions of Mars, the Martian military colony theoretically does not need to be resupplied and can be maintained for a long time.

Of course, this is just theory.

Because the equipment will be damaged in use, and the Martian military colony does not have supporting industrial facilities, the Martian military colony is very dependent on Earth.

After the catastrophe, the human beings on the earth could not protect themselves, and no one thought about their compatriots on Mars.

"In the fourth and third eight years of the catastrophe, it is impossible to verify the exact day, and an outsider who claims to be the 'Angel Regiment' has appeared on Earth. In less than a year, they conquered almost all settlements and convinced the survivors on the ground that they were angels sent by God to save humanity. The figure paused slightly, "By the time we found out, the survivors on the ground had formed a whole new social system, and the 'Angels' had expanded their settlements into towns and established a central city on each of the four continents, and began to instill an extremely ancient religion in the survivors. Of course, this religious belief is not new to us. ”

"Christianity?"

The figure nodded and said, "A branch of Christianity, somewhat similar to Catholicism. While promoting religious beliefs, the 'Angel Regiment' also comprehensively promoted the doctrine, and established a legal system on the basis of the doctrine, forming a complete set of social systems. ”

"It's not progress, it's a complete regression!"

"In fact, that's exactly what the invaders are trying to achieve."

"The question is, the survivors are ruled by the strong, how can they give in so easily?"

"Here's the key." The figure waved his hand, "Although in the beginning, the strongest of the survivors were the reformed X-Warriors who established settlements to protect the immune common people and deal with the mutants who attacked the common people. But the virus is always evolving, and some ordinary people with immunity gain superpowers after being infected with the virus, and their reproduction offspring make superpowers even more powerful. At the time of the appearance of the Angels, the survivors of the earth were already ruled by these descendants. They have no faith, no goal, or the only goal is to survive. The arrival of the 'Angel Regiment' gave them a faith and gave them a purpose. What's more, the 'Angels' have mastered the power of science and developed a more efficient antibody, which can save ordinary people who do not have superpowers, so that more people can survive. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, the members of the 'Angel Regiment' are extremely powerful, they are not only superpowered warriors, but also more powerful than the survivors on Earth."

"And then?"

"The result is obvious, the human civilization built by the survivors is imprisoned, and the minds of the survivors on the ground are imprisoned."

"Confinement!?"

"We have a saying that 'people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.'"

"What do you mean?"

"Although the 'Angels' established a religious system, expanded settlements into cities, established a central city on each of the four continents, encouraged fertility, and allowed the population to expand rapidly, the number of mutants did not decrease, but increased. The Angels' only provide the necessary conditions for the survivors to survive, and the survivors can only get antibodies against the virus after they have been converted. Through this method, the 'Angels' not only controlled all the survivors on the ground, but also forced the survivors to fight for survival. To put it bluntly, when all people live in fear and their lives are in danger at any time, no one cares about the future of humanity. ”

Chu Tianjiang was speechless, not knowing what to say.

The figure sighed and said: "What's even more sad is that because the antibodies provided by the 'Angel Group' can indeed make everyone have the ability to resist the virus, especially those newborns who are not immune, no one doubts the 'Angel Group', and everyone regards the 'Angel Group' as an angel sent by God to save mankind, and they also converted to religion, and then they were brainwashed by religion." Coupled with other means, such as prohibiting the dissemination of cultural knowledge among the common people, prohibiting civilians from learning the written language, destroying all books, etc., the 'Angel Regiment' made all the survivors forget history, forget the past, forget the disaster, and make people believe that this is the world in which human civilization lives. ”

"No one sees through it?"

"Only by believing in lies can you gain the right to live, and if you expose the tongue, you will be killed, what will you choose? Of course, you have to think about it from the perspective of civilians. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed, this is indeed a very cruel choice.

"It's just that there are two civilizations in human beings, one on the ground and one under the ground."

"You took action?"

The figure nodded and said, "Although we have no intention of dealing with the survivors on the ground, and our previous efforts have failed, we cannot watch our compatriots being enslaved, let alone be shrunken turtles all the time, we must take action." ”

"What action?"

"The mutations caused by infection with a genetic virus are extremely complex and Melanie has not been able to study them thoroughly throughout her life. All the survivors are mutants, but instead of making them lose their minds, they make them stronger. Some of the survivors have gained some kind of superpower, which allows them to resist the temptation of the 'Angel Regiment' and recognize the essence of the 'Angel Regiment'. What's more, some of these survivors have experienced a catastrophe, know the situation of human civilization, and even use some kind of technological means to solidify this part of the memory. Instead of taking refuge in the 'Angel Regiment', they chose to fight. They left the settlements and cities controlled by the Angels and established resistance. ”

"Wait......"

The figure looked at Chu Tianjiang.

"You said that some of the survivors have experienced the catastrophe, but it has been more than 400 years......

"Thanks to technology, the average life expectancy of human beings has been extended to 180 years, and for the first time, the hibernation technique has made human beings no longer affected by time. According to our research, there is at least one spiritual leader in every resistance army, and they are all survivors of the cataclysm. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded thoughtfully and let the figure continue.

"In order to find out the situation of the 'Angels', we contacted some resistance groups and investigated the situation on the ground through them."

"And then?"

"Although we are very secretive, the 'Angels' clearly have far more technology than we do, and they know our actions inside out."

"This ......"

"The war broke out in the year 474 of the Calamity calendar, and it lasted only about half a year, and we were completely defeated."

"What!?"

"Although we have built thousands of underground cities, and the underground cities that have been built later have penetrated deep into the earth's mantle, until the defeat, we have not figured out how the 'Angels' went deep into the ground and launched an attack. Only one thing is certain, the 'Angel Regiment' has mastered space-related techniques, so the crust tens of kilometers thick cannot stop them at all, nor can it protect us. ”

Chu Tianjiang gritted his teeth. "Extinct?"

The figure nodded and said, "All the underground cities have been destroyed, no one has survived, no one has escaped, only a very small number of people who were originally operating on the ground have survived. They joined the Resistance and continued to fight against the Angels. But ......"

"But what?"

"That's the end of what I know."

"What?"

The figure waved his hand, and a virtual image from the projection appeared around him.

"After the last city was breached, in order to buy time for the professor to escape, I went to negotiate with the enemy, so the memories left behind ended here."

"Teach them to live?"

"Dr. Melanie, who died in 394 of the Cataclysmic Era, hibernate very little and worked almost all the time, and she would not have survived for so long if she had not been genetically modified long ago. Although we were able to extend her life with the techniques of the time, she refused, and she wanted to be liberated. ”

"Where's the professor?"

"I don't know what to do, maybe alive, maybe not."

"Clara, Sister Anna, and ......"

"They're all dead."

"What?"

"When the geological disaster happened, they were in the valley home. I rushed over in person, only one step too late, the valley homestead had sunk and there were no survivors. Natasha buried them, but she didn't stay. I haven't seen Natasha since. ”

Chu Tianjiang closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"We did our best and did everything that had to be done and what should have been done. Unfortunately, we were unable to defeat the invaders and save human civilization. ”

"Do humans still exist?"

The figure shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do. To conserve energy, I hibernate until you wake up and shut down all irrelevant systems. That's all I can tell you, whether humanity still exists, what the outer world is like, and how to defeat the invaders, you can only rely on yourself. If you have any questions, you can always ask me. ”

"Ask you?"

The figure nodded, and an object like a battery number seven emerged from the floor and floated in front of Chu Tianjiang. "This is me, an electronic information memory. When you need to talk to me, just start it. Of course, it's best to be in a place where no one is around, or connected to some kind of virtual display device. ”

"That's all?"

The figure laughed, then shook its head.
