Chapter 585: Parting Ways (4800 Words!)

In this way, a large-scale relocation activity was officially staged on the Nix star.

When the lizard leader came down from the "Future", his mind was a little dazed. Time was too tight, so he did not formally visit this huge mothership. However, based on what he saw and heard along the way, he could already estimate its size and length.

It was too big, unimaginably big! This hugeness alone brought an indescribable sense of oppression.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg!"

Of course, the more oppressive, the less the lizard wanted to resist.

"It is indeed not a difficult task to take away all the population..." The lizard leader hid some doubts in his heart and sighed secretly.

It was not easy to make this decision.

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

"...We have experienced suffering, endured poverty, we are trapped in darkness, and don't know where the final light is...Reality is cruel, but we must face it."

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

"Suffering has been with us since three hundred years ago. The enemy is very strong, so strong that we feel the despair of the abyss. 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.

"But we will not give up! We look forward to a better life. Everyone is carrying a blood feud and the responsibility of continuing civilization. We hide here trembling with fear and humiliation, silently developing technology and educating our next generation. We believe that everything will get better...But, how will it be, who knows?"

The lizards below were silent. These people looked at the images on TV blankly. Such encouragement had some effect at the beginning and could ignite everyone's hope. But later, it was already a kind of numbness.

No one knows whether the future will be better, so we can only assume so... Even this time, the leader's speech was a little frustrated, not all motivational like before.

At this point, the lizard leader paused, then took a deep breath: "Here, I want to announce a message, a message that can relieve everyone!"

"The Enlightener... has come to this planet!"

"They will lead us away from here!"

"The Enlightener has come here!"

The air suddenly stagnated, and then...

It was like a heavy bomb thrown into the water, and then it exploded! The huge waves caused almost overturned the entire base!

"The Enlightener?!"

"Is it true?"

"Are you lying to us?" The rioting people didn't believe it at first.

But the screen had already started playing the video provided by the new human civilization, and the huge sound covered all the noise.

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

When they were in despair and their wishes came true, the lizards were a little bit unconvinced. They were afraid that it was a mirage.

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

All kinds of noise and clamor were like waves that could not be suppressed even by fully armed soldiers. The crazy lizards almost rushed into the government office and questioned the leader in person. Some lizards wanted to rush to the surface to see the new human spaceship.

Of course, the new human spaceship at the door of 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 boiling people gradually calmed down.

Many fanatics in the base have trusted 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 don't believe in the leader Alex and the "enlightener" at all. There are doubters and critics.

Some people even doubt whether the leader Alex has betrayed the entire civilization?

These spaceships... maybe they belong to the Anteke civilization!

Even... many lizards are unwilling to leave for various reasons. Including being reluctant to give up all kinds of property on the planet, missing their hometown, stubborn personality, etc., there are all kinds of reasons.

It is actually normal for such a thing to happen. There are so many people, all kinds of people. There are still so many nail households on the earth, not to mention the current situation. In such a short period of time, there are still very few lizards who can accept leaving their home planet.

This is to leave their home planet!

Home planet!

These nail households also make the lizard leader very worried.

The entire main base is in chaos, and even these news have spread to the interconnected auxiliary bases.

"How do you know whether this enlightener is real or fake? Just rely on appearance? There are so many ways to forge this!"

"How do you know if they have good intentions and if they have any other intentions? You just handed over the entire civilization like this?" 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 spacecraft is indeed unknown, and 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 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, hoping that 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" would be so painful.

This intense migration work lasted for a whole week. Time is limited, and the 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 lizards 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 can barely survive, but it is also unknown whether tomorrow is dark or bright...

In fact, it has been a long time since the "enlightener" left. Their generation has not experienced that period of time at all, and has only learned about it in history. When the life-saving straw that many fanatics have been thinking about is really presented in front of them, there are still not many lizards who dare to catch it.

The painful struggle lasted for a total of five or six days. In the first few days, only some fanatics of "God" boarded the spacecraft happily.

In the next few days, when more and more people boarded the spacecraft, the lizards began to be unable to bear it. As the time node approached, they began to sign up with their families. At least, the family can be together, and the leader can be together, which can always bring a certain warmth.

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

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

It's a bit funny to say that after making a decision, many lizardmen began to think again. They began to carry a lot of food, and even wanted to bring some of their own property on the spaceship, such as some gold and silver treasures, some plants that can be cultivated, etc.

Some engineers even wanted to move their beloved mechanical equipment up!

"This is the electromagnetic power armor technology that was stolen from the Antai civilization with great difficulty! The machine tool we spent decades to improve..." A lizard blushed and shouted loudly.

He thought this technology was simply amazing, and even the Enlightenment might not be able to match it.

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

Faced with such a stubborn senior talent, the lizard leader was also very troubled and could only report the relevant situation to the headquarters of the Future. They said that these engineers were the elites of their civilization, and it would be a pity if they didn't go up.

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

How to say it, the idea of ​​this lizard is very good, but due to the limitations of the entire era, the behavior looks very funny. It's like the "Wright Brothers" boasting about their wooden plane in front of the Boeing 747.

"Just bring the technology up! The mechanical equipment will be left to the people who are still here... It's a waste to use the spacecraft to carry some large-mass machinery."

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

"Mechanical equipment, leave it to the people who are still here" This sentence directly shut the engineer's mouth.

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

"Alas, don't be too selfish. Let's go. Knowledge is enough. All property is just external things... leave it all to others."

"Let's go, let's go."

On the last day, the lizards began to say goodbye to each other, and the whole Nix star was filled with the tragic mood of parting.

They cried... cried... said goodbye... said goodbye...

Many lizards walked on the surface again, which they had not been on for more than ten years, but they didn't expect it to be this way...

It was a way to say goodbye to the mother planet!

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

Maybe...

Forever, part ways!

In a week, the migration of the entire population was finally completed. Those who wanted to come up had already come up, and those who were unwilling to come up would probably not come up even if they were persuaded for another month...The new humans will not wait any longer.

"Report to the captain, a total of 963,356 lizards have landed on the spacecraft, please give instructions!" The leader of the military who was specifically responsible for this area handed in the final answer sheet.

"Only 960,000?" Yu Yifeng touched his chin. This number did not meet his expectations. "Did you find any of the other lizardmen who hid?"

"We found some, but many lizards were unwilling to board the spaceship."

At this time, Alex, the leader of the lizards, also came up. At this point, he looked at Yu Yifeng with a little fear.

I don't know...what is their final fate.

Yu Yifeng sighed deeply, "Let's do it this way for now. There is nothing we can do if these people are unwilling. A forced melon is not sweet. There are still a large number of lizards on the metal planet waiting for us to save them."

Two-in-one, everyone understands. . .

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