Beneath Deep Space

In this way, a large-scale relocation event was officially staged in the Knicks.

When the lizard leader got off the "Future", he was slightly in a trance. Time was too tight, and he did not officially visit this huge mothership. However, based on what I saw and heard along the way, I can already estimate its size and length.

It's so big that it's unimaginable! Just this hugeness brings an indescribable sense of oppression.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg!"

Of course, the more oppressive it is, the less this lizard wants to resist.

"It is indeed not difficult to transport everyone away..." The lizard leader hid some doubts in his heart and sighed secretly.

Making this determination is actually not easy.

As soon as he got off the spacecraft, he summoned all senior officials and delivered an important speech to the ordinary people in the underground base.

"...We have experienced suffering, poverty, and we are trapped in darkness, not knowing where the final light is...The reality is cruel, but we must face it."

"Unfortunately, almost all our plans have failed... Whether the future is bleak or bright, we don't know."

"Suffering has been with us since three hundred years ago. The enemy is very strong, and it makes us feel an abyss of despair. They are a real interstellar civilization. To be honest, we don't even have one ten thousandth of their strength. ..." His voice was solemn and vicissitudes of life.

"But we will not give up! We look forward to a better life. Everyone is burdened with blood feud and bears the heavy responsibility for the continuation of civilization. We are hiding here with fear and humiliation, silently developing science and technology, and educating our descendants. As a generation, we believe that everything will be fine...but, who knows? "

The crowd of lizards below fell silent. These people looked at the images on TV with blank faces. Such incentives may have some effect at first, and they can also ignite hope in everyone. But later on, it was already a kind of numbness.

No one knows whether things will get better in the future, so we can only assume this... Even the leader's speech this time was filled with a hint of frustration, not all encouragement like before.

Having said this, the lizard leader paused, and then took a deep breath: "Here, I want to announce a news, news that can relieve everyone!"

"The Enlightener...has arrived on this planet!"

"They will lead us out of here!"

"The Enlightener has arrived!"

At this moment, the air suddenly stagnated, and then...

Like a bomb dropped into the water and then exploded! The huge wave caused almost overturned the entire base!

"The Enlightener?!"

"real or fake?"

"You're not lying to us, are you?" The rioting people didn't believe it at first.

But the video provided by the new human civilization had begun to play on the screen, and the huge sound drowned out all the noise.

"The Enlightener's spaceship is parked on the surface!" The lizard leader said again: "It's just outside! On the surface!"

When they are in despair and their longing wishes come true, these lizards don't believe it anymore. They are afraid that it will be a mirror image.

But the photos and images in front of me showed that this was not a dream.

All kinds of noise and clamor were like an overwhelming wave, and even the heavily armed soldiers were unable to suppress it. The crazy lizard crowd almost rushed into the government office and questioned the leader face to face. There are also some lizards who want to rush to the surface to watch the new humans' spaceships.

Of course, the new human spacecraft at the entrance to the surface base really exists! Another lizard glanced at it from a distance and was blocked by the soldiers.

The whole farce lasted for half a day before the excited people gradually calmed down.

Many fanatic believers in the base have believed the leader's statement and are willing to follow the "enlightener" to leave. Anyway, this is the last straw. No matter what, can it be worse than reality?

But there are also some lizards who simply don't believe what the leader Alex and the "Enlightener" say. There are those who are skeptical and there are those who are critical.

There are even some people who doubt whether leader Alex has betrayed the entire civilization?

These spaceships...maybe belong to the Antek civilization!

Even... many lizardmen are unwilling to leave at all due to various reasons. There are all kinds of reasons including being reluctant to part with all kinds of property on the planet, missing your hometown, being stubborn, etc.

It's actually normal for this kind of thing to happen, with such a large population and all kinds of people. There are still so many nail households on the earth, let alone in this situation. In such a short period of time, there are still very few lizards who can accept leaving their home planet.

This means leaving your home planet!

Home planet!

These thorny households also gave the lizard leader a headache.

The entire main base was in a commotion, and the news had even spread to the affiliated bases that were connected to each other.

"How do you know whether this initiate is real or fake? Just rely on appearance? There are so many fake methods like this!"

"How do you know if they have good intentions and if they have any other intentions? You just handed over the entire civilization?" Another main leader of the small base directly questioned the intentions of the lizard leader Alex, and even Swearing on the other side of the phone.

"I……"

The lizard leader was speechless. After a long time, he replied dullly: "Do you think I haven't thought about this problem?"

"I admit, this is a gamble!"

"But it could also be our last chance."

"What will happen if we let our people board the spaceship is indeed unknown. We can't see our future clearly. But think about it, what is the use of our low-level civilization's population? To eat? As food? As pets? Don’t be kidding…our greatest use is to contribute our knowledge and strength!”

"Why did the Antek civilization seize the population and not massacre us all? It's not to build a spaceship!"

"We just need to show our worth..."

"Anyway, I don't agree!" The person in charge of the small base yelled: "Your behavior betrays the freedom of the entire civilization and is a sinner of civilization! It is another traitorous behavior!"

The lizard leader said coldly: "Am I a sinner? Am I a traitor?"

"But the Enlighteners are our benefactors, and they are completely different from the forced capture of the Antec civilization. Without them, we would still be a group of primitive lizards staying in the crater! As long as the people can survive better, I don’t mind surrendering!”

"Freedom, what is freedom? Do you know the definition of freedom? If an entire civilization can roam the entire galaxy, isn't that considered freedom? Staying on this planet and living a life of darkness, is that freedom?!"

"In the vast universe, with so many civilizations, how many can get through the Great Filter? There are countless low-level civilizations, and there are countless smarter than us. Do you think your freedom is valuable?!"

"Staying here, we are hiding and hiding like reptiles. How can we resist the next wave of arrests? Well, even if you escape, when will you be able to catch up with the Antek civilization?! If you can't catch up, don't be so naive. "

"Even if we are not extinct, we will only slowly be forgotten! Forget all the hatred!"

After hearing the roar of the lizard leader, there was silence on the other side of the phone, with no way to refute.

Dreams will always lose to reality. There is nothing good or bad without any reason in the world.

The behavior of the lizard leader is actually a compromise with reality. Which leader of a civilization is willing to leave the fate of his civilization in the hands of others?

But it cannot be denied that if this compromise and this gamble succeed, most people will probably be much happier than they are now.

"Yes... I will forget it." The lizard on the other side of the phone muttered to himself, smiling bitterly.

Even if they survived by chance and were not captured, after hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand years, the older generation died and these things became history. Who would be willing to sacrifice for the massacre thousands of years ago? Beaten to death?

revenge?

What a joke!

Whether the indigenous lizard civilization can pass through the Great Filter is still a question! Even if we are motivated by hatred and united as one, as long as hundreds of years pass, hatred will inevitably fade away.

Who still remembers the ambitions of our forefathers?

The lizard on the other side of the phone said in a low voice: "I... still don't want to. This is our hometown where we were born and raised. I will not leave here... no! Many fellow villagers are not willing to leave, and I will always protect them. Enlightenment The one who inspired us is who we are, different.”

There was silence for several minutes.

"That's good...that's good!" The lizard leader sighed heavily. He didn't know what he was thinking. This extremely complicated emotion made his whole body weak.

Is it true that insisting on oneself is great? Is it insignificant to compromise with reality?

he does not know.

After a while, he finally said: "Pali, let's do this... Those who are willing to follow the initiate can follow me up. Those who are willing to stay, I will leave it to you..."

"I hope you can hide well, develop well, be able to shoulder the important task of continuing civilization, be able to pass through the Great Filter, and not perish due to exhaustion of energy."

"We have chosen two paths. No matter which one, the future is uncertain. But as long as one succeeds, our civilization can still be passed on... Although because of our choices, we may not be the same civilization anymore."

"I will give you a copy of all science and technology. I hope you can rekindle the flame of civilization, and..."

"Stay alive!"

The person on the other side of the phone was also silent, silent.

Suddenly, there was a faint cry of a little lizard man. This kind of lizard in the growth period has a very strong demand for food. The lack of supplies, coupled with the mother's panicked soothing voice, made everyone feel panicked in their hearts. An emotion that was difficult to express in words was stuffy and fermented in their hearts...

After making this choice, the lizard leader felt a deep sense of bitterness and helplessness.

Why...are there so many hardships? Why did you encounter such a powerful enemy? Why did our compatriots start to rebel?

Why?

Why?

Perhaps not just him, but almost all informed lizards have to make a final decision: stay here or get on the spaceship.

Difficulties, tangles, pains...

They never thought that "hope" could be so painful.

This intense migration work lasted for a whole week. Time is limited. New humans have more important things to do. There is no way to stay here for a long time...

7 days, such a short time, it is difficult for the lizard people to make the final choice, but they have to make it.

Following the aliens means that tomorrow is unknown; staying here, at least the environment is familiar and you can barely survive, but tomorrow will be dark or bright, and it is also unknown...

In fact, it has been a long, long time since the "enlighteners" left. Their generation has not experienced that period at all and has only learned from history. When the life-saving straw that many fanatical believers long for is actually shown in front of their eyes, there are still not many lizards who dare to catch it.

The painful struggle lasted for five or six days in total. In the past few days, only some fanatical believers of "god" happily boarded the spacecraft.

In the next few days, when more and more people boarded the spacecraft, the lizards couldn't bear it anymore. As the time approached, they began to sign up with their families. At least, families can be together and leaders can be together, which always brings a certain amount of warmth.

This is actually a confused group effect, just like when a disaster occurs, many people will subconsciously run to crowded places, even though crowded places may not necessarily be safe.

Stay here, tomorrow will be gray and difficult. Boarding the spaceship gives you at least a glimmer of hope, right?

It's a bit funny to say that after making the decision, many lizard people's minds started to become active again. They began to carry a large amount of food, and even wanted to bring some of their property onto the spacecraft, such as certain gold and silver treasures, certain cultivated plants, etc.

Some engineers even want to relocate their beloved machinery and equipment!

"This is the electromagnetic power armor technology that was stolen from the Antek civilization with great difficulty! The machine tool we spent decades improving..." A lizard made a loud noise with a red face and red ears.

He believes that this technology is simply miraculous, and even the Initiator may not be able to match it.

"If you don't let it go, I won't go!"

Facing such stubborn senior talents, the lizardman leader also had a severe headache and could only report the relevant situation to the headquarters of the Future. It is said that these engineers are the elite of their civilization. It would be a pity not to go up.

Several responsible leaders were simply amused. This kind of power armor technology, well, they had seen it. It's almost a product from several generations ago...

How can I put it, the idea of ​​​​this lizard is very good, but due to the limitations of the entire era, the behavior looks very funny. Just like the "Wright brothers" bragging about their wooden airplane in front of the Boeing 747.

"Just bring the technology! Just leave the mechanical equipment to the people who are still here... It is really a waste to use a spaceship to carry some large-mass machinery."

"Each person is allowed to carry five kilograms of supplies, and the rest is not allowed. There are also some computer storage devices that are allowed to be carried. Don't bring others."

The words "mechanical equipment are reserved for those who are still here" directly shut up the engineer.

Yes, these high-quality people are leaving, and it is indeed appropriate to leave the equipment to the lizards who stay here.

"Hey, you can't be too selfish. Let's go, let's go. Knowledge is enough. All property is external...leave it all to others."

"let's go."

On the last day, the lizards began to say goodbye to each other, and the entire Knicks star was filled with a tragic mood of farewell.

They cried...crying...saying goodbye...saying goodbye...

Many lizards once again walked onto the surface of the earth that had not been there for more than ten years, but unexpectedly it happened in this way...

It’s a way to say goodbye to your home planet!

Some lizards temporarily changed their minds and regretted their decisions; others resolutely boarded the spacecraft...

may be……

Forever, part ways!

In one week, the relocation of the entire population was finally completed. Those who wanted to come have already come. Those who are unwilling will probably not come even if they are persuaded for another month... The new humans will not wait any longer.

"Captain, the total number of lizards who have landed on the spacecraft is 963,356. Please give instructions!" The military leader responsible for this area handed over the final answer sheet.

"Only 960,000?" Yu Yifeng touched his chin. This number did not meet his expectations. "None of the other hiding lizard people have been found?"

"Part of it was found, but many of the lizards were reluctant to get on the craft."

At this time, the lizard leader Alex also came up. At this point, he looked at Yu Yifeng with some fear.

I don't know... what is the final fate they face.

Yu Yifeng let out a long sigh, "Let's do this for now. These people are unwilling and have no choice. The melon is not sweet if they are forced. There are still a large number of lizards on the metal planet waiting for us to save."

Two-in-one, everyone knows. . .

It could have been written separately, but it is better to make this chapter more coherent.
