"And Ning Xu is the one who released this Mars." Peony stood up and lifted the curtain that covered the mural.

Above the bustling city, a vast starfleet obscures the sky; On the flagship stood an exceptionally tall figure, roaring hoarsely into the air; Artillery fire roared down from the sky, burning the entire canopy red. And the opponent of this steel torrent is just a small wing clan; He stood in the middle of the city, his waist straight, holding a three-meter-long scythe in his hand, silently watching the scourge in the air.

"Ning Xuan claims to have found a galaxy for immigration, and from this era onwards, ordinary humans no longer have to bow to the Wing Clan with trepidation. He incited the ignorant people with rhetoric, telling them that humanity should use violence to get rid of the shadow of the Wing Clan, and if the Wing Race was allowed to use the results of that research, then ordinary humans would eventually be reduced to lower creatures; The only way to fight this horrific fate, to regain freedom, is to erase these abominable creatures and strangle every newborn with wings in the cradle. Peony's body trembled uncontrollably, looking at this mural as if staring at the deepest part of hell, "The war has begun, Ning Xu led ordinary humans to form a coalition and fight without declaring war; Initially our seniors tried to negotiate with them, but received no response. The first to be crushed into ashes by artillery fire were the madmen who opened Pandora's box, and the reproduction technology that dehumanized humanity was completely burned; At this time, the high-ranking members of the Wing Clan were still trying their best to restrain themselves and wanted to resolve the dispute by peaceful means. But what happened next was the ordinary Wing Clan in human society, who had done nothing wrong, and were broken into their homes by the red-eyed thugs who stole all the wealth and piled up the corpses of the ordinary Wing Clan in the middle of the city; The higher-ups of the Wing Clan finally couldn't sit still and began to plan a war of self-defense. ”

She turned her head to look at Yan Qingcheng, her blue eyes regained clarity and transparency, "One side is determined to destroy the other party, and the other side is desperate for survival; There are tens of thousands of times the number of ordinary humans, and they wield the technology developed by the Wings and recklessly use weapons of mass destruction; The Wing Clan is sparsely populated, but it has some black technology that has not yet been revealed to ordinary humans, and is barely able to deal with enemies in the shadows. The flames of war gradually spread to the entire earth, and in this senseless battle, ordinary humans finally lost all reason, and they directly bombarded the earth's crust, causing large swaths of land to fall apart; It then disperses the atmosphere, destroying the protective barrier of the natural environment. The Winged are tired of saving their homeland, but that is the equivalent of a frontal attack from the enemy; Having lost their only advantage, the Wing Clan was soon driven to the brink of extinction by this lose-lose style of play, and the Earth was about to fall apart. ”

"So, is this the truth of that catastrophe?" Yan Qingcheng looked at the little wing clan in the mural and muttered to himself.

"Before the war is over, humanity has already tasted the consequences. The number of human beings has dropped dramatically in this catastrophe, from nearly 10 billion to a few hundred million; The earth has also become a real hell, the cradle of life has been full of devastation, and if we do not leave, I am afraid that the flame of human civilization will be completely extinguished. ”

"How did the Wing Clan survive?"

"Luck," Peony took a low-frequency deep breath and calmed down, "Ning Xu is ready to lead the ordinary humans who follow him to transfer to a new galaxy, and at that time there was only one giant space ark left in the flames of war, and he could only use this ark; Coincidentally, this ark was designed by the Wing Clan, with a 'back door' left in the control system, and the Wing Clan could capture the coordinates of the Ningxu interstellar jump destination, and the remaining Wing Clan, that is, our direct ancestors, followed and came to the Nine Galaxy where we live now with their mortal enemies. ”

Yan Qingcheng turned his head to look at the peony, his eyes gradually sharpened; The girl fearlessly accepted his scrutiny, her eyes full of honesty.

"So even if the remnants of the Wing Clan escaped to this galaxy, they still couldn't escape the fate of extinction?" He tries to speculate on the development of the story.

"Yes, we can't stay in hiding; There are too few winged people who come to this galaxy, and they are not capable of self-sufficiency at all, and after all, humans are still social animals, and it is difficult to survive without them. The surviving ancestors had no choice but to give up their pride, and they built this underground ruins to preserve the true history; Then he cut off his wings and developed a special drug to lock these genes, so that the wings could no longer grow back. The angel on high has fallen to the earth, put away all the glory and inheritance, and survived. ”

"But now that you seem to have formed a sizable organization, do you want to regain that pride that belongs to you?" Yan Qingcheng remembered that the peony had invaded the intelligent system of the National Academy of Sciences, which was not something that just a few people could do.

"No, it's also for survival," Peony became a little unhappy, her voice low with a hint of crying, "I don't know how those people found out about us, they not only want to exterminate the Wing Clan, but even want to completely erase the Wing Clan from human history; They destroyed all the records about us, and through the coalition government, they brainwashed the ignorant people into forgetting this history. During this millennium, there has been a group of people who have been hunting us incessantly, hunting everyone who discovers this history, intentionally or unintentionally; We were forced to regroup. ”

She carefully observed Yan Qingcheng, trying to see his inner thoughts from his physical reactions, "The reason why you were targeted by those people is because you inadvertently broke the secret of the Wing Clan; The owner of the skeleton you studied in your paper is supposed to have died after being severely injured, but luckily it was not discovered by later generations, so you picked up a 'big bargain'. ”

Yan Qingcheng shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "If I can, I really don't want to pick up this 'big bargain'." ”

"At that time, we were on a mission on Yangxing, don't rush to ask me what the mission is, if you join us later, we will know; We have a system dedicated to monitoring the dynamics of galactic networks and databases, after all, the common people of today have forgotten that history, and if they happen to get a record of a few words, they will definitely publicize it, and such people are the targets of that group of people; I happened to come across the paper you just published, I glanced at the paper a few times, and after a few chats with you, I decided to determine your research object, and immediately decided to set out to protect you, but judging from the results, we were still too late. ”

"When you say 'we' all the time, do you mean your organization?"

"Yes!" Peony's eyes lit up again, and the corners of her mouth curled, "We are the 'wings of freedom', fighting to protect our compatriots in distress and fight to return to the sky of freedom!" ”
