Chapter 230: Ark of Hope
In order to survive, to try to escape the planet that is about to turn into a water world, more and more people are forced to take up arms.
And so, the war broke out.
Everywhere there is blood and flesh, corpses are everywhere, people's wives are separated, and families are broken.
Finally, the local government stepped up at this time.
The dignitaries vowed to let everyone lay down their arms, not to solve the problem by force, but to unite and do everything they could to build more large flying machines, so that everyone on Ki Mercury could travel to other safer planets in flying machines.
For such a beautiful vision, most kind people choose to believe.
They threw away the weapons they had been forced to pick up unwillingly, and did everything they could to help the government build a flying machine called the Ark of Hope.
Seeing that the land area is getting smaller and smaller, and seeing the summer when the land above Qi Mercury was completely submerged by the sea approaching little by little, people finally built a batch of arks.
Just when hope was burning in everyone's hearts, those kind and simple civilians found that they had been deceived by the local shameless dignitaries!
Those people set up machine guns at them, pointed their weapons at their chests, and then, riding a flying machine built with everyone's resources and condensing everyone's blood and sweat, they fled!
Everyone who has lost their weapons can only watch those dignitaries and rich people leave, but they don't even have the ability to resist!
Most of the inhabitants of Pearl Town were left behind, and inevitably forced to accept the fate of sinking into the sea with the town.
And when everyone was desperate, the loudspeaker in Pearl Town was still rolling and broadcasting over and over again:
"Please lay down your arms! The Ark of Hope is a symbol of peace, and there must be no weapons of destruction on the Ark of Peace. From now on, anyone who surrenders his weapons will receive a ticket for the Ark. All good pacifists, protected by Goddess Ashelian, will board the ark and travel to a safe new planet to enjoy a happy life in paradise! ”
Listening to Li Pingzhe's story here, Cai Youyou couldn't help frowning.
She finally knew why the townspeople rushed into the temple when the town was on the verge of sinking, and smashed the idol they usually worshipped as a spiritual belief.
The statue became a tool for the dignitaries to hoodwink the civilians into laying down their arms. So, of course, it became a way for desperate residents to vent their anger after the dignitaries fled with everyone's hopes.
And today, whether it is the crimes committed by those dignitaries who deceived the public and used the blood and sweat of the common people to build the ark when they left, or the unwillingness and anger of ordinary residents, all of them have been swallowed up by this vast sea, all of them have been hidden under this deep water, and have become an unknown history.
Of course, Xiao Cai is not a historian or a literati, she just expressed her feelings a little.
What she was most interested in at the moment was the leather notebook left by the owner of the two scimitars, as well as the well-preserved recipes.
When Li Pingzhe finished telling the secret history of Qi Mercury, she couldn't wait to get to Li Pingzhe's side with Mo Xun, and everyone studied those recipes together. Read the latest chapter of "Otherworldly Restaurant: Xueba's Private Caipaw Book House" for free for the first time.
