Chapter 121: Parting Ways (4800 words!) )
In this way, a large-scale relocation activity was officially staged in the Knicks Star.
When the lizard leader came down from the Future, his spirit was slightly in a trance. Time was too tight for him to make an official tour of the huge mothership. However, based on what I saw and heard along the way, I can already estimate its volume and length.
It's too big, too big to imagine! This enormity alone brings with it an indescribable sense of oppression.
"And that's just the tip of the iceberg!"
Of course, the more oppressive it is, the more the lizard doesn't want to resist.
"It's really not a difficult task to carry everyone away......" The lizard leader secretly sighed as he hid some doubts in his heart.
It's not easy to make up your mind.
As soon as he got off the spacecraft, he summoned all the high-ranking officials and made an important speech to the ordinary people of the underground base.
“…… We have experienced hardship, we have endured poverty, we have been caught in darkness, and we do not know where the final light is...... The reality is harsh, but we have to face it. ”
"It's a pity that almost all of our plans have failed...... Whether the future is bleak or bright, we don't know. ”
"Suffering has been with us since 300 years ago. The enemy is strong, powerful enough to make us feel abyssal despair. They are a real interstellar civilization, and to tell the truth, we don't even have a ten-thousandth of their strength......" his voice was solemn and vicissitudes.
"But we're not going to give up! We look forward to a better life, and everyone is burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, and bears the heavy responsibility of continuing civilization. We hid here with trepidation, humiliation, and silently developed technology to educate our next generation, and we believed that everything would be fine...... But who knows? ”
The lizards below were silent. The people stared blankly at the images on television. This kind of encouragement has some effect at the beginning, and it can also ignite a hope for everyone. But later, it was already a kind of numbness.
Whether it will get better in the future, no one knows, so let's just think so...... Even, this time the leader spoke, with a hint of frustration, not as before, all about encouragement.
Speaking of this, the lizard leader paused, then took a deep breath: "Here, I want to announce a message, a message that can free everyone!" ”
"Inspirer...... It's already on this planet! ”
"They'll lead us, out of here!"
"The Inspirer has come here!"
At this moment, the air suddenly froze, and then ......
It's like a bombshell dropped into the water and then exploded! The huge wave caused almost overturned the entire base!
"Inspirer?!"
"Really?"
"You can't lie to us, right?" The rioters were not convinced at first.
But the screen has begun to play the video provided by the new human civilization, and the loud sound has drowned out all the noise.
"The Enlightener's ship is docked on the surface!" The lizard leader said again: "It's just outside!" Surface! ”
When the desire of despair and longing comes true, these lizards are a little disbelieving, they are afraid that it will be a flash of events.
But the photos and images in front of me show that this is not a dream.
All kinds of noise and noise are like a sea of waves, and even heavily armed soldiers can't hold them down. The crazy lizard crowd almost stormed the government office and questioned the leader in person. There are also lizards that want to rush to the surface and watch the new human ship.
Of course, the new human spaceship at the gate of the surface base really exists! Another lizard glanced at it from a distance, and was stopped by the soldiers.
The whole farce lasted for half a day in total, and the boiling people gradually quieted down.
Many of the fanatics in the base, having trusted the leader's claims, were willing to follow the "Enlighteners" and leave. Anyway, this is already the last straw, no matter what, can it be worse than reality?
But there are also some lizards who don't believe the claims of the leader Alex and the "Inspirer" at all. There are skepticism, and there are criticisms.
There are even some people who wonder if the leader Alex has betrayed the entire civilization?
These ships...... Maybe it's the Antek civilization!
Even...... Many lizardmen, for various reasons, are simply reluctant to leave. Including reluctance to give up all kinds of possessions on the planet, homesickness, stubbornness, etc., there are all kinds of reasons.
This kind of thing happens, in fact, it is also normal, with so many people and all kinds of people. There are still so many nail households on the planet, let alone the current situation. In such a short period of time, there are still very few lizards that can accept it when they leave their home planet.
This is leaving your home planet!
Home planet!
These nail households also made the lizard leader very nervous.
The entire main base is in a lot of trouble, and even these news have spread to the interconnected affiliated bases.
"How do you know if this enlightener is real or fake? Is it just appearances? There are more such forgery methods! ”
"How do you know if they're okay and if they're trying to do something else? You just handed over the whole civilization like that? Another major leader of the small base directly questioned the intentions of the lizard leader Alex, and even scolded him on the other side of the phone.
"I ......"
The lizard leader was speechless, and after a long time, he replied in a dull voice: "Do you think I haven't thought about this question?" ”
"I'll admit, it's a gamble!"
"But it may also be our last chance."
"What will happen to our people on a spaceship is really unknown, we can't see our future clearly. But you think about it, what is the use of us people of low civilizations? Take it to eat? As food? As a pet? No kidding...... Our greatest use is to contribute our knowledge and strength! ”
"Why did the Antek civilization capture the population and not slaughter us completely? It's not about building a spaceship yet! ”
"We just need to show our worth......
"Anyway, I don't agree!" The person in charge of the small base scolded: "You have betrayed the freedom of the entire civilization by such actions, and you are a sinner of civilization!" It's another kind of traitor! ”
The lizard leader said coldly, "Am I a sinner? Am I a traitor? ”
"But the Enlightener is our benefactor, and the forcible capture of the Antek civilization is of a completely different nature. Without them, we'd still be a bunch of pristine lizards in the crater! As long as the people can survive better, I don't mind taking refuge! ”
"Freedom, what is freedom? Do you know the definition of freedom? An entire civilization can roam the entire galaxy, isn't it free? Is it freedom to stay on this planet and live a dark day?! ”
"In the vast universe, with so many civilizations, how many of them can pass through the big filter? I don't know how many low-level civilizations there are, and there are countless smarter than us, do you think your freedom is worth a lot?! ”
"Staying here, we are hiding, hiding, like reptiles, can we resist the next wave of capture? Okay, even if you dodge, when will you be able to catch up with the Antek civilization?! If you can't catch up, don't be so naïve! ”
"Even if we don't go extinct, we will slowly forget! Forget all the hatred! ”
Hearing the roar of the lizard leader's head and face, there was silence on the other side of the phone, unable to refute.
Dreams will always fail to reality, and there is no good in the world for no reason, and there is no bad for no reason.
The lizard leader's actions are actually a compromise with reality. What civilization leader is willing to willingly put the fate of his civilization in the hands of others?
But it cannot be denied that this compromise, this gamble, if the gamble wins, is likely to be much happier for the majority of the population than it is now.
"yes...... will be forgotten. The lizard on the other side of the phone muttered to himself, smiling wryly.
Even if they are lucky enough to survive and are not captured, after hundreds of years, thousands of years, even 10,000 years, the older generation dies, and these things have become history, who wants to fight for the massacre thousands of years ago?
Revenge?
It's a joke!
Whether the indigenous lizard civilization can step through the big filter is still a question! Even if we are motivated by hatred now, as long as hundreds of years pass, hatred will inevitably fade away.
Who remembers the ambitions of their forefathers?
The lizard on the other side of the phone whispered, "I...... Still unwilling. It's our native hometown and I'm not going to leave here...... No! Many villagers are reluctant to leave, and I will always protect them. The inspirer is the inspirer, we are us, different. ”
There was silence for several minutes.
"That's good...... That's good! The lizard leader sighed heavily, not knowing what was going on in his heart, this extremely complex emotion made his whole body weak.
Is it true that to insist on oneself is to be great? Is compromise to reality small?
He didn't know.
After a while, he spoke, "Pie, so let's do it...... Whoever is willing to follow the enlightened will follow me. If you want to stay, I'll leave it to you......"
"I hope that you can hide and develop well, be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the continuation of civilization, be able to step through the big filter, and not perish because of the exhaustion of energy."
"We have chosen two paths, and neither one is uncertain. But as long as one is successful, our civilization can still be passed on...... Although by choice, we may not be the same civilization anymore. ”
"All the science and technology, I will give you a copy, I hope you can rekindle the flame of civilization, as well as ......"
"Live!"
On the other side of the phone, there was also silence, silence.
Suddenly, there was a faint cry of a small lizardman, this kind of growing lizard, the demand for food is quite strong. The poverty of materials, coupled with the mother's panicked reassuring voice, made everyone feel panicked in their hearts, and an emotion that was difficult to express in words was stuffed in their hearts and fermented......
After making this choice, the lizard leader felt a deep bitterness and helplessness.
Why...... Will there be so many tribulations? Why did you encounter such a powerful enemy? Why did compatriots start to betray?
Why?
Why?
Maybe it's not just him, almost all the lizards who know about it have to make the final choice: whether to stay here or get on the ship.
Difficult, tangled, painful......
They never imagined that "hope" would be so painful.
This intense migration lasted a whole week. Time is limited, and the new humans have more important things to do, and there is no way to stay here for long......
7 days, such a short period of time, it is difficult for the lizardmen to make the final choice, but they have to do it.
Following the aliens means the unknown tomorrow; Staying here, at least the environment is familiar, and it can barely survive, but tomorrow it will be dark or light, and it is also unknown......
In fact, it has been a long, long time since the departure of the "Enlighteners", and their generation has not experienced that period at all, but has only learned from history. The life-saving straw that many fanatics have in their hearts and minds, when it is really displayed in front of them, there are still not many lizards that dare to catch them.
The painful struggle lasted for a total of five or six days, and only a few fanatical followers of the "gods" had happily boarded the spacecraft the other day.
In the next few days, when more and more people got on the spaceship, the lizards began to can't help it, and as the time node approached, they began to sign up with their families. At the very least, family members can be together, and leaders can be together, and there is always a certain amount of warmth.
This is actually a kind of group effect, just like when a disaster occurs, many people will subconsciously run to a crowded place, even if a crowded place is not necessarily safe.
Stay here, tomorrow is gray and hard. Boarding the spaceship at least adds a glimmer of hope, isn't it?
It's also a bit funny to say, but when the decision is made, the minds of many lizardmen start to come alive again. They began to carry large quantities of food, and even wanted to take some of their possessions on board the ship, such as certain gold and silver treasures, certain plants that could be cultivated, and so on.
There are also engineers who even want to relocate their beloved machinery!
"This is the electromagnetic power armor technology that was finally stolen from the Anteke civilization! The machine tool we spent decades perfecting...... "a lizard with a red face, red ears, and a loud noise."
He believes that this technique is simply miraculous, and even the inspirers may not be able to match it.
"If you don't let it go, I won't go!"
In the face of such stubborn high-level talents, the leader of the lizardmen also had a terrible headache, and could only report the relevant situation to the command of the Future. It is said that these engineers are the elite of their civilization, and it is a pity not to go up.
Several of the leaders in charge simply felt amused, this power armor technology, well, they have seen it. It's almost a product from several generations ago......
How to say it, the idea of this lizard is very good, only due to the limitations of the whole era, the behavior looks very funny. It's like the Wright brothers boasting about their family's wooden planes in front of the Boeing 747.
"Just bring the technology with you! I'll leave it to the people who are still here...... It's a waste to use a spaceship and carry some massive machinery. ”
"Each person is allowed to carry five kilograms of supplies, not the rest. There are also some computer storage devices that are allowed to be carried. Don't bring anything else. ”
The phrase "machinery and equipment, reserved for those who are still here", directly made the engineer shut his mouth.
Yes, they, the highly qualified population, are leaving, and it is indeed as it should be to leave the equipment to the lizards who stay here.
"Alas, you can't be too selfish, let's go, let's go. Knowledge is enough, and possessions are all outside the body...... Leave it all to the others. ”
"Let's go, let's go."
On the last day, the lizards began to say goodbye to each other, and the whole Knicks star was filled with the sad mood of parting.
They wept...... Crying...... Say goodbye...... Say goodbye......
Many lizards walked up again, and they hadn't come up to the surface for more than ten years, but they didn't expect it to be this way......
It's a way to say goodbye to your home planet!
Some lizards temporarily changed their attention and regretted the decision they made; Some of them resolutely boarded the spaceship......
Probably......
Forever, parting ways!
In a week's time, the migration of the entire population was finally completed, and those who wanted to come up had already come up, and those who did not want to be persuaded would not come up for another month...... The new humans will not wait any longer.
"Report to the captain, there are 963356 lizard population in total, please instruct!" The military leader, who is in charge of this area, handed over the final answer sheet.
"Is it only 960,000?" Yu Yifeng touched his chin, this number did not meet the expectations in his heart. "None of the other lizardmen who hid were found?"
"Some of them were found, but many of the lizards were reluctant to get on the ship."
At this time, Alex, the leader of the lizards, also came up, and when he came to this step, he looked at Yu Yifeng with a little trepidation.
I don't know...... What is the ultimate fate they face.
Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh, "Then let's do it first, these people don't want to and have no way, the twisted melon is not sweet." There are still a lot of lizards waiting to be rescued on the metal planet. ”()
