“……”

Chu Ge took a deep breath, aggrieved like a rat about to cry.

"National teacher! This old dog! So insidious! So vicious! How can it be like this, insulting people's innocence out of thin air? ”

He was grief-stricken and stared at the cat eater, "Everyone has finally been brothers, and they have talked about righteousness, to be honest, do you believe in me or in the national teacher?" ”

The cat eater had a serious and thoughtful face, and after a full minute, he gave the answer.

"National teacher." It says it in no uncertain terms.

"Isn't it, isn't my appearance so unconvincing?"

Chu Ge was dumbfounded, depressed for a long time, and reluctantly said, "Okay, even if human beings are not 100% trustworthy, but you have to know, whether you trust each other, whether you like each other, and whether you want to cooperate with each other, these are three completely different concepts, and now they are not engaged in objects, but in the same boat-do you know what it means to be in the same boat?" ”

"Yes."

The cat eater said, "The national teacher has taught us that this is the meaning of good brothers uniting and helping each other in adversity and overcoming difficulties together." ”

"Wrong."

Chu Ge said, "The word "in the same boat" was first used to say that in the history of the Orient of mankind, there was a country called 'Wu' and a country called 'Yue'.

"But even if there is such an enmity between the heavens, when they are in the same boat and encounter stormy waves, they must help each other and resist the wind and waves like the left hand helping the right hand, because helping each other is helping themselves, and saving each other's lives is saving their own lives.

"I don't understand."

The cat eater thought for a moment and said, "Since the Wu and Yue people have a common enmity, how can they sit on the same boat?" ”

“……”

Chu Ge took a deep breath and resisted the urge to vomit blood, "This is a fable, you know the fable, don't dwell on those details, the key is to touch the meaning of this, which means that even if you don't believe in human beings, even if you deeply dislike or even hate human beings, even if you really treat me as a despicable and shameless bastard, it will not affect our temporary cooperation, just because cooperation is two benefits, and two injuries are divided, it's as simple as that!" ”

"Why?"

The cat eater stared at Chu Ge intently, trying to find even the slightest flaw between his blue nose and swollen face, and it said in confusion, "If you are telling the truth, not delaying time, and having no other purpose, then why do you have to do all this thanklessly."

"Just according to your military...... Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's plan, what kind of 'underground terminator' to wipe out the rat clan is not clean and neat, leaving no trouble?

"Or let me go on an adventure, anyway, even if the rat clan escapes from the city, it is impossible to maintain a complete civilization form, and it has existed in the deep mountains, old forests, and wilderness for too long, and the rat clan can fend for itself without a single shot, what's the problem?"

"There's a problem."

Chu Ge smiled bitterly, "I have talked to Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting more than once about this question, and I might as well tell you again now."

"First, I don't think that with the current technology of the earthlings, the invented killing machine can kill all the rats and wipe out the entire rat civilization without affecting the entire ecosystem—it is very likely that there will be fish that slip through the net, making the rat civilization deform into a monster that no one can imagine.

"Second, what if the rat civilization can be wiped out? If in the process of eliminating the rat civilization, the darkest, evil, and ugly side of the earthlings is exposed and strengthened, and we are accustomed to using killing and suppression to solve problems, what kind of unrecognizable appearance will we become in the new world where the aura is getting stronger and stronger?

"Third, the Fang Kingdom may not be the only rat civilization, since I have calculated that the national teacher has bad intentions, it must have a back hand, maybe it is still somewhere else, in a similar way, to ignite another rat civilization, or even dozens of other rat civilizations? When these rat tribes, who also have wisdom, see what humans are doing to destroy the Fang Kingdom, human beings will completely lose the possibility of communicating and cooperating with them, and the entire earth will become a battlefield where humans and rats will never die, and their lives will be devastated.

"If you think about it carefully, maybe this is the national teacher, no, it's the biggest conspiracy of the Heavenly and Human Organization?"

The cat-eater's eyes rolled rapidly, pondering the possibility of what Chu Ge had said.

"I'm not lying to you, in fact, I've asked myself this question countless times - why would I risk ruining my reputation and doing such a thankless job?"

Chu Ge smiled bitterly, "Simply join Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's camp to start a painful 'Rat Clan Annihilation War', and become a high-profile battle hero, money, beauty, power, everything, is it necessary to be so entangled?"

"However, there are two images that keep popping up in my mind, and the slimy ones can't get rid of them.

"The first picture, which I just told you, is that one day in the future, we will build the largest, most beautiful and most exciting theme amusement park in the most beautiful place in Lingshan City, where the children of the rat tribe and the children of the human race can bathe in the same warm and brilliant sunshine, and can play together without worry and heart, even if they can't understand each other's language, at least they can understand each other's laughter, and the children of the rat can sit on the shoulders of the human children without defense, Let's go on adventures, go play, and fight together!

And in the second picture......

"Cities have been razed to the ground, playgrounds have been destroyed, Ferris wheels and roller coasters have long since crumbled into clumps of scrap metal, merry-go-rounds are burning, and bumper cars are covered in dust like rusty steel graves.

"In this dead grave, the children of the rat and the children of the human race, deep in the shadows of the ruins, no longer have the innocence of a child, they have matured prematurely in the harsh war for survival, and have become well-trained, cautious, ruthless hunters, using their size to set all kinds of traps for each other.

"When a human child captures a rat child, he will skin the rat alive with a blank face, and then chew it all openly, and when the rat child captures a human child, he will not hesitate to gnaw on the latter's eyes and lips.

"I'm not sure if the first image will ever be real, or maybe it will always be an ethereal dream.

"But even if the first picture is my dream, I never want the future in the second picture to befall the heads of human children and rat children, it will be a war without a winner, a never-ending Shura hell!"

Even if the cat eater raised his vigilance by 120,000 points, he was also a little moved by Chu Ge's heartfelt words.

"Do you know, according to the calculations of our human scientists, there are about 100 trillion planets in the known universe, and there are 40 billion planets in our galaxy alone.

Chu Ge smiled and said, "But unfortunately, no matter how much scientists search, or even frantically calling, they have not been able to find any traces of the existence of intelligent life, or the signals they sent, on the four billion planets that are close at hand, and the trillions of planets that are out of reach.

"Although the universe is big, human beings are extremely lonely, we are like being upside down in a huge glass cover, a small fly, between heaven and earth, there is only us, and there is nothing else.

"This kind of loneliness, which is a hundred times more tormenting than claustrophobia, is really painful and suffocating for human civilization, and in order to find other intelligent life, we are even extremely naïve or stupid to send a large number of electromagnetic signals and probes into outer space, and carry detailed information about human beings and the earth - simply expose all our secrets to the whole universe!

"We have taken such a big risk, just to make sure that we are not alone in the vast universe, and one day, we find that the companion we have been thinking about is not hundreds of millions of light years away, but right next to us, if at this time, we do not choose to communicate with each other, but kill each other, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
