Chapter 248: Show your hole cards

"Okay, I'll come over here, you ask them to wait!" Shu Yunpeng replied.

"You're leaving?" Zhang Jingyi's face was a little pale: "I think you better not go, tell them, let them come!" ”

"Yes, brother, in case they ......" Xiang Zidan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Nope! The Jones people know that it's useless to kill me now, they won't do anything that doesn't do good! Shu Yunpeng was very resolute: "Even if there is really danger, for the sake of the more than 2,000 people left there, I have to go!" ”

He arranged for Zhang Jingyi to be in charge of everything in the dungeon: "Zidan and Elizabeth don't go, just let Shao Youping drive the No. 1 ship and follow my spaceship." Remember, after I'm gone, no one will be allowed to enter the dungeon without my orders! ”

The two ships set sail and soon arrived at the Lovers' Fortress. When Shu Yunpeng walked into the Jones mothership inhabited by earthlings, Jones Lulu and Jones Moon were still waiting there. They were also very happy to see Shu Yunpeng arrive.

"Hehe, Colonel Shu, I thought you wouldn't come back!" Jones Moon smiled and said, "Governor Samantha specially asked us to come and ask you to come and talk. ”

"Just talk to me?" Shu Yunpeng said with a smile.

"It should be said that there is something important to discuss!" Jones Lulu said, "We know that you have opened the dungeon, so Governor Samantha feels that we should negotiate. ”

"Okay!" Shu Yunpeng thought for a while and said, "I'll say a few words to my people and I'll go with you." ”

Shu Yunpeng called Emily, Liang Jingjing, and Katya over, and he arranged for Katya to help Shao Youping organize the earthlings to sort out their things and move them to the No. 1 ship.

"You two follow me to meet Governor Jones," Shu Yunpeng smiled, "Are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid of a ball!" Emily said.

They came to the Jones mothership, where Samantha lived. The guest and host sat down, and Samantha got straight to the point: "Colonel Shu, have you opened the dungeon?" ”

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No problem," Samantha said, "the facilities inside are all working properly, right?" ”

"Yes, it's normal!" Shu Yunpeng smiled politely: "Thank you, a hundred years ago, you helped build the dungeon, so that our people can live for two more hundred years!" ”

"Not including us?" Samantha asked sharply.

"You've got a very good Jones mothership, you can run and live!" Shu Yunpeng said with a smile: "I remember you told me when you landed on Earth that the interstellar voyage is too unbearable, you don't plan to run away, and you are ready to live in the mothership for twenty years...... That's what you told me personally, right, Governor Samantha? ”

Samantha was silent, and it was a long moment before she spoke again: "Isn't it negotiable?" ”

"Yes! We're friends, we can't be discussable! Shu Yunpeng said with a pleasant face: "But the governor must answer me a few questions first." ”

"Is this a condition?"

"Don't speak in such a reproachful tone, Samantha!" Shu Yunpeng said: "I said we are friends! But even if you're a friend, you should have certain principles, right? ”

"Good! You ask! Samantha said.

"Okay, I asked!" Shu Yunpeng smiled and asked, "There is a dungeon under the Central City, do you know it?" ”

"We knew that Central City was built by us," says Samantha, "and when it was designed, you on Earth demanded that Central City had to have a dungeon attached to it in case it was needed. ”

"Very good," Shu Yunpeng smiled with satisfaction, and the Jones people really didn't lie: "Since you know, why only tell us that we can only survive on the mothership for twenty years?" ”

"Because we do have some scruples," said Samantha, "you earthlings are too belligerent, look at the series of wars on your earth, look at what you know about what the canis major dwarf galaxy has done after the catastrophe, ten million people can kill each other in such a short time, can we not take precautions?" ”

"I agree with you, the earthlings are indeed belligerent and almost kill themselves!" Shu Yunpeng said: "But this doesn't mean that you can enjoy the dungeon exclusively, after all, the dungeon is our earthling!" ”

"We didn't think about it exclusively," Samantha said, "just to see who on earth doesn't deserve to enter the dungeon!" ”

"How can you tell, it's not your power, right?" Shu Yunpeng said with a grin. But the connotation of his words is not ambiguous: This is our dungeon, why did you overstep it!

"Well, we really don't think about this matter, at least we should tell you, because you are now the head of the human race on Earth, so I apologize!" Samantha said, "Now that you've taken control of the dungeon, what are you going to do with us Jones?" ”

"If I refuse to let you enter the dungeon," Shu Yunpeng said, "what should you do, attack by force?" ”

"You know we hate war!" Samantha bowed her head and said, "Don't embarrass us! ”

"Of course I won't embarrass you! As I said, we're friends, and friends should be in the same boat! Shu Yunpeng said, "I can even tell you that we can hand over the dungeon to you...... If you look at me, you know what I'm thinking! ”

Samantha looked at Shu Yunpeng in response, just in time to meet Shu Yunpeng's gaze. Looking at each other, Samantha was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

"You still want to run? ......" After a while, Samantha muttered, "I don't understand your ......."

"There's nothing I don't understand, Samantha......" Shu Yunpeng said, his expression became gloomy: "I understand your pain!" I even often think that if one day I clone my body several times like you, my memories of my parents and lovers in that world will be erased, and all my memories here, such as Yiru, Qin Huaiyu, and Claire, will disappear forever, and even everything at this moment will cease to exist, and I will become a clone with no past like a machine-intelligent creature, is there any meaning in living? ”

Samantha stared at him blankly, not answering.

"But is that why I should give up?" Shu Yunpeng's expression was gloomy but his expression was firm: "Your ancestors, in order to save their race, went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to run to the earth, and even did not hesitate to interfere in the biological evolution of the earth, which inspired the creation of human beings on the earth...... But now, is it still the super-enterprising Jones race in front of me? ”

Samantha bowed her head and was silent.

Shu Yunpeng couldn't see what Samantha was thinking, so he could only accentuate his tone: "Look at you now, you used to be such a determined and courageous race, but you have actually been reduced to just wanting to hide in the dungeon and live a life like a gopher for two hundred years, becoming a tired, depressed and dying race!" ”

After a pause, Shu Yunpeng smiled bitterly and said, "In that case, why did you bring me here?" So that those children, including your Samantha children, can take your place in the face of the wrath of the Tribulation? Are you embarrassed to face the ruins of the fall of your advance team in Tunguska? ”

Everyone was out of the air, and the cabin seemed so silent.

"And what are you going to do?" After a long time, Samantha asked.

"If you don't want to run, I have no right to force you!" Shu Yunpeng said: "But we don't! We earthlings don't live as long as you, just like me, it's amazing to live another fifty or sixty years! I could live my life in the dungeon, but I give up this selfish choice! As Commander Zhang Jingyi said, leaving the ending of facing the catastrophe to my children and grandchildren, it is boring for me to live ashamedly! ”

Samantha was silent.

"So, I suggest, leave the dungeon to you, hand over your mothership to us and teach us how to handle it. At the same time, hand over your hundreds of children to us and live with our children, so that we can fulfill the last wishes of your ancestors and find a way to live! ”

"The probability of escaping is very low, what if it doesn't work?"

"Isn't it just two hundred years less!" Shu Yunpeng said with a smile: "I'm going to finish playing, do you care about two hundred years earlier?" ”

"If the opportunity comes now, you can go back to your own world," Samantha suddenly changed the subject: "Are you going back?" ”

Shu Yunpeng was stunned, he didn't prepare: "This has nothing to do with the current situation!" ”

"I mean, if that wormhole opens now!"

"I haven't thought about it since you explained to me the randomness of the wormhole opening last time," Shu Yunpeng said, "So you asked me so suddenly, I really couldn't answer!" ”

After Shu Yunpeng finished speaking, he left with Emily and Liang Jingjing without waiting for an answer, and the Jones people did not stop him.

When they returned to the mothership where they lived, Shao Youping and Katya had already organized people to move things onto the No. 1 ship, and everyone was on the ship, waiting for orders.

"Colonel, let's go?" Shao Youping asked him.

"It's all done? Let's go! Shu Yunpeng said, and contacted the dungeon and told Xiang Zidan that the No. 1 ship had returned with people.

"What about you, Colonel?" Shao Youping saw that Shu Yunpeng's spaceship had no intention of setting sail. He asked, "Why don't you go together?" ”

"Well, I'm not leaving for the time being," Shu Yunpeng said, "The Jones people will still look for me." ”

"Then I'll stay too!" Katya said.

Before Shu Yunpeng could answer, Shao Youping said that only Emily and Liang Jingjing would be left, and there were too few people around the colonel, so let Katya stay. Shu Yunpeng agreed.

Ship No. 1 lifted off and flew in the direction of Central City, and the Jones did not stop it. Shu Yunpeng and the three women did not return to the empty Jones mothership, but lived on their own spaceship.

Shu Yunpeng sent the recording of the conversation with the Jones people just now to Zhang Jingyi in the dungeon, and then seized the time to rest for a while. Samantha's words about the wormhole brought back a lot of memories for him, and he wanted to go to the remnant bridge to see it, but he still didn't go after thinking about it.

He took out a bottle of wine and told Emily and the others to go and drink with Jones Moon: "You don't have to follow, I'll go myself." ”
