Chapter 14: A Helpless Choice
Xiang Zidan was lying in the bathtub with her eyes closed, Emily lying on top of her, and the sisters snuggled up to each other.
"Sister, you're scared to death!" Emily said, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, don't guess!" Xiang Zidan said.
"I need to guess!" Emily said, "You forgot that I can also read minds?" ”
"I forgot!" Xiang Zidan opened his eyes, looked at the little Emily lying on top of him, and said with a wry smile: "Then tell me, what do I want to do today?" ”
"You're in a meeting," said Emily, "Professor Xu has decided to use our Jones captives to force the Jones people away and force them to leave Earth forever. And the human beings on the earth can only accept the final outcome of their demise in two hundred years, so you can't accept it anymore! ……”
"More than that......"
"I know!" Emily said, "You're angry, you think your brother's efforts have been in vain, so you want to make the Jones people suffer, right?" ”
"Yes, you can't let them go for nothing!"
"Then your initial idea was right," Emily said, "You should just let Jingjing bombard the open ground outside the city with an ion cannon, the Jones people's body protection can be stealth, heat and radiation, but it will definitely not withstand the bombardment of the ion cannon!" ”
"You think it's okay to do that, too?" Xiang Zidan said: "I'm afraid of wasting, it's not easy for us to collect ions. ”
"Sister, I'll give you an idea," Emily said, "Let's take my brother's spaceship out and use that ion cannon on the spaceship to bombard the Jones, it's easy for the spaceship to collect ions." ”
"yes, I didn't think of that!" Xiang Zidan got up and got out of the bathtub excitedly. Emily was defenseless, her little body slipped into the water of the bathtub at once, and she suddenly drank two sips of the water with shower gel in the bathtub, choking on tears and snot......
At about ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Xiang Zidan carried Emily on his back and came to the tarmac with Liang Jingjing to launch a spaceship that had not been used for a long time. When she drove the spaceship to the entrance of the dungeon, Elizabeth was already waiting there with the twenty selected special operators. Xu Yunzhi, Zhang Jingyi, and Tang Liqing were also already waiting there.
"Be careful," Xu Yunzhi cared for: "If it doesn't work, don't do it." ”
"I know, don't worry!" Xiang Zidan replied.
The city gate opened, the spaceship flew out of the city, and Xiang Zidan immediately ordered Liang Jingjing to fire three shots in a row at the seemingly empty outside the city. Then pull up the spacecraft, fly straight out of the atmosphere, and soon collect enough ions to return again.
"How?" As soon as the spaceship stopped on the tarmac, Xiang Zidan and the others immediately ran to the city gate. Elizabeth had already returned to the city.
"Yes," said Elizabeth, "there are not many of them lurking today, a dozen, and there is no one alive. ”
"It's okay," Zhang Jingyi said, "although I killed a dozen, not much." But fast in and out, the surprise attack was very successful, and it can be regarded as avenging our people for being wiped by the invisible man! ”
"If you want me to say, it's great!" Shao Youping said: "How did you come up with it? ”
"Emily came up with it!" Xiang Zidan pointed at Emily, who was riding on his neck, and said with a smile.
"Ahh It's not a bad little one! Ouyang Xiaoyue pinched Emily's face, and Emily protested loudly. The small-sized posture of blowing his beard and staring at him made everyone laugh badly.
"Okay, today's harvest is good," Xu Yunzhi said, "Let's have a good rest!" ”
"Professor Xu, I'm watching the kids!" Liang Jingjing returned to the Academy of Sciences after changing shifts, and saw Xu Yunzhi looking at the child there in a daze. He greeted him and said, "The kids are so cute, aren't they?" ”
"Yes, it's cute," Xu Yunzhi didn't look back, and said in a low voice, "But it's also pitiful......"
"Why?" Liang Jingjing was puzzled: "Everyone loves them very much, how can they be pitiful?" ”
"Because they don't have a ...... future"
Liang Jingjing stopped talking. She was also one of the few people who knew about the plan to drive out the Jones, and of course understood the meaning of Xu Yunzhi's words. It is really sad and out of helplessness that human beings on earth can only choose this path. No one wants to be just a plaything of God, to be someone else's dish.
"Sometimes, I really want the Jones people to take them away," Xu Yunzhi said, "and that might preserve a little bit ......of our earthlings' blood." ”
"But their fate will be very tragic," Ms. Liang said, "and they will not be treated equally!" ”
Xu Yunzhi didn't speak, and she couldn't think clearly. Whether dignity or life is important to live a person's life, everyone will have their own choice. Give the children to the Jones and let them take them, and the children may survive, but their fate is to become a backup gene pool for the Joneses; If the children are allowed to stay, they will face the same fate as all earthlings.
"That way, they can at least live!"
"But that's not their choice, and we can't make that decision for them."
"But if they choose to stay, that's not their choice," Xu Yunzhi said.
"Yes," Liang Jingjing said, "but at least they can't blame us!" If we let them fall into the hands of the Jones, they will hate us to death if they suffer and suffer in the future! ”
Xu Yunzhi nodded: "You're right, a family can only live and die together." ”
"Professor Xu, why did you suddenly think of letting the children follow the Jones?"
"I know from Jones Moon's thoughts," Xu Yunzhi said, "The purpose of their attack this time is to take the dungeon and plunder our children!" They will kill all of us adults, or leave us to fend for ourselves, but our children will be taken away. ”
"Vicious enough!" Liang Jingjing said: "In this way, my brother's resources still don't match their race, so they started the idea of our children!" ”
"Yes, Colonel Shu is from the earth, and it is not surprising that there is no match," Xu Yunzhi said, "so they need our children, especially boys, to contribute genes to their race." ”
"Well, our children are also earthlings!" Liang Jingjing said: "Isn't it the same as mismatching? ”
"That's different!" Xu Yunzhi said: "Even if it is the same race, there will be certain differences in genes. Colonel Shu is just one person, there are many children, and the more people there are, the higher the probability of success! ”
"They're really calculating!" Liang Jingjing suddenly realized: "So I support your decision, we would rather face the catastrophe of the fire of the Heavenly Tribulation than cooperate with them!" ”
"So, what about the other earthlings in the dungeon, what do they think?"
"I'm sure they don't care!" Liang Jingjing said: "People are selfish, these people can live this life peacefully, and they don't care about what happens to future generations!" This is where the famous saying 'When I die, I will flood the sky'! ”
"Well, maybe that's ......" Xu Yunzhi nodded and said, "Let's go, accompany me to meet Jones Moon." ”
The two went to the hospital together and went to the ward where Jones Moon lived.
"Hello, Commander Moon, your injuries are almost healed!" Xu Yunzhi greeted with a grin: "Are you satisfied with our medical care?" ”
"Good!" Jones Moon said, "Governor Xu is looking for me?" ”
"Hehe, come and see you, and tell you about the battle between the two sides!" Xu Yunzhi said: "A few days ago, your invisible sleeper soldiers cut the necks of ten of our soldiers who went out of the city. Today, our Major Xiang Zidan drove a spaceship and bombarded the field outside the city with the onboard's ion cannon, killing more than a dozen of your sleeper fighters. The losses on both sides are equal, so let's count it even! ”
"The ship's ion cannon? I took someone to install the ion cannon......" Jones Moon muttered to herself.
"What, regret it?" Xu Yunzhi said: "Do you regret installing this ion cannon on Colonel Shu's spaceship?" ”
"Yes, but not regret this," Jones Moon shook her head and said, "I regret it, is it really necessary for the two families to go to war?" ”
"If you don't go to war, if you don't occupy the dungeon, how do you get our children?"
"How do you know?" Jones Moon looked at Xu Yunzhi vigilantly.
"I guess!" Xu Yunzhi hurriedly said: "After our analysis, we have come to the conclusion that you have taken away the strange substances that have been buried for a hundred years, and there is nothing you need in the dungeon, except for these children!" ”
"Awesome!" Jones Moon said, "You can see our purpose! ”
"No way, Commander Moon!" Xu Yunzhi smiled: "We are not as good as you in everything, but fortunately, our brains are still effective." ”
"I'm sorry," Jones Moon suddenly perked up, "I can tell you that we didn't have these plans, otherwise we would have had a chance in the Hundred Years' War...... It's just that the world is unpredictable, and the catastrophe is coming, and we have no choice! ”
"So you chose to exterminate the earthlings, as long as our children, because of the wormhole to attract Colonel Shu, the result is not ideal. You were in a hurry, and it happened that the catastrophe came again, and Colonel Shu was sent back, and it didn't change the characteristics of time and space as expected. So, you decided to run away and snatch our children at the same time! ”
"You now know our intentions," Jones Moon said, "and what are you going to do?" ”
"We have decided not to run and live and die with the earth!" Xu Yunzhi said: "We will contact Samantha later and tell her our decision. I'm here today to tell you that we're going to negotiate with Samantha, you and the other thirty-one captured Jones, and we're going to release you, but on the condition that you Jones people leave the earth forever and find your way out! The earth will always be ours! ”
"We gave you two motherships, why don't you run together?" Jones Moon said: "Your dungeon can only allow you earthlings to survive for two hundred years, do you just choose to extinct the whole thing?" ”
"Your mothership, do we dare to use it? In addition to the self-destruct device, what other dangers are buried, we don't know, who knows how far we can run? Xu Yunzhi said with a smile: "Instead of being calculated by you and dying unclearly, it is better to take the initiative to choose the road of death to be more happy, what do you say?" ”
Jones Moon was silent for a long time and asked, "What if Samantha doesn't agree?" ”
"We're going to kill you and thirty-one other Jones captives first, cook them into a big pot of meat, and fight you to the death! It's called a death party! …… Come! Bring Commander Moon to the conference room! ”
"Yes!" Two special combat team members standing outside the door responded to the call.
