Chapter 460: Refugee Flows and the Great Migration

The Starlink Council has had a headache recently, and is still busy discussing the transformation of the 52 ring area proposed by Boss Hu, and then there is another big thing to worry about.

Refugees are starting to pour into the Fort Nexus space station.

The first refugees were all from the Horizon colony planet, and after the Collectors attacked it in full force, the panicked populace packed their bags and fled to the inner sector on all the ships that passed by.

No one dared to continue living on this colonized planet, even though the Federation Council, together with the Turks and the Asari military, promised that the Collectors had been defeated and repulsed and would not return to the Horizon System, but no one took this seriously.

What happened has happened, and although the war hero Masani managed to rescue the people who were taken away, there were still a considerable number of casualties, and the bodies of the dead were escaped with the collectors, leaving behind only the burning city.

The horizon galaxy is no longer safe, all the star systems on the border are not safe, and they must be moved immediately!

Thus began a massive mass migration, similar to the Dunkirk evacuation during World War II.

Whether it is a warship, a commercial cargo ship or an ordinary passenger spaceship, as long as it is in the horizon galaxy, all of them are pulled in for personnel evacuation.

Huge numbers of people crowded into the interstellar ports of various cities, arguing over a ticket, and everyone wanted to leave this ghost place that had left a psychological shadow as soon as possible.

Panic, confusion, suspicion.

The raids of the Collectors succeeded in spreading these emotions.

Now, the first group of refugees to depart has arrived at the Fort Junction space station, and they are crowded with the harbor of Starport, a large number of security soldiers desperately trying to maintain order, and customs officers are busy on all fours.

Oh, and not all of the refugees are ready to move to the Fort Nexus station, on the contrary, most of them are only here temporarily until Starlink arranges a new place for them.

There is no going back to the home planet, and there is no place for the home planet to take them in.

From the beginning of the cosmic age to the present, after a long period of changes, the home planets of various races have long been the preserve of the elite and the upper class, who hold power and wealth in their hands, and enjoy the beautiful land of their original homeland.

Originally, those factories and facilities had long been transferred to various colonial systems, and now the home planets of various races have spent a lot of money to restore the ecology and become a green planet with beautiful nature.

All cities have been transformed into tourist or virtual e-economy, surrounded by boundless forests, and the relics of ancient civilizations have been restored as tourist destinations.

The most beautiful areas are used for ecological settlements, with large villa estates standing on the airy hillsides or facing the sea.

It was here that the upper classes controlled the power of their respective races, dictating to their large countries.

The colonized galaxies have always transfused blood to ensure the prosperity of the home planet, even if the planet has already been developed, it has no other value than memorial.

So now you want to let refugees in? That's really too much.

Naturally, the Federation Council rejected the refugees' requests, and promised to arrange for a new colonized planet to move in as soon as possible.

But this is not a small project, and for a while, don't think about any progress, so one-third of the starports of the Fort Junction space station have changed the taste of refugee camps with tents everywhere, and the people are crowded here every day, urging the Starlink to speed up the work.

It's not a big problem at the moment, after all, the number of refugees in the first batch is not very large, and tens of thousands of people can still eat for this giant space station.

But this is only temporary, after all, there is a second batch, a third batch...

What's even more terrifying is that the current public mood in the entire fringe galaxy is in a state of fear, and if it is not done well, there will be a super-large-scale collective migration and escape, and the scene is really uncontrollable.

It seems that God likes to watch everyone toss, so he quickly played another game.

The Collector's asteroid warship has also been discovered by the garrison fleet of another fringe colony system!

Although it was only a brief encounter, it still caused a great deal of panic.

The Collector ship didn't look like the one that attacked the Horizon Galaxy, the asteroid was round in size, like a miniature planet, and it was easy to distinguish from the long one.

It should have been a mistake or a passing by, so after the asteroid battleship successfully jumped, it immediately made another jump, and then its whereabouts are unknown.

At that time, it was not only the nearby Star Alliance garrison fleet that was taken aback, but even the collectors were also taken aback.

Oh! Wrong way!

This is a collector warship sent by Boss Hu to explore unknown galaxies, and his mission is only to expand the new map, discover new quantum repeaters, and by the way, mark any intelligent life planets that are discovered.

Then the hapless asteroid battleship was hit by a cosmic storm, a terrifying storm that was simply whoever enters and who dies.

Cosmic storms, caused by the collapse of stars like the sun after death, are the precursors of the creation of black holes, this burst of vast energy is like a super hurricane on the earth, spaceships are like a flat boat in the ocean, if you meet it head-on, then you can sit down and wait for death.

The collectors are scared to pee, they have just successfully jumped to this unknown galaxy through their newly discovered repeater, and the next moment they have discovered violent energy fluctuations and the source of energy clearly displayed on the holographic screen.

The star in the center of the galaxy no longer emits heat and light, it is collapsing rapidly, reaching a pole peak, the star disappears, and a new black hole takes its place, becoming the center of the galaxy, swallowing everything around it.

The collectors also found habitable planets in the galaxy, with traces of intelligent life on them, and it was initially estimated to be a low-level civilization.

But it doesn't make sense, does it, there is no need to record and mark it at all, and soon their fate will come to an eternal end, and they will be reduced to nothingness.

So... Run away!

There is no Void Lord in this nascent black hole to control, it is completely unconscious devouring.

Without saying a word, the collectors on the asteroid battleship turned the bow of the ship and made another jump.

In the panic, they deviated, and instead of jumping to the distant edge of the galaxy, they jumped to another marginal galaxy, and stared at the nearby Starlink fleet.

Then the collector reacted first, and the slippery one made another leap and successfully ran away.

The Star Alliance Fleet and this colonial galaxy that reacted immediately after it exploded.

They didn't know that the Collector ship was running for its life, and they had perfectly mistaken it for the enemy's vanguard reconnaissance, and then made up the conclusion that the Collector was about to attack here.

The Collectors are coming to kidnap again!
