Chapter 544 The Real Disaster Begins Now
Elite - this word is really contradictory. In theory, the so-called elites are the best among human beings. They are the kind of people with a halo who shine wherever they are thrown. They think they have the best brains among all people. , and for the most part others think so too.
But then again, although elites are not fuel-efficient lamps, in the face of the end of the world, such inefficient lamps consume too much fuel.
Now there is a row of guys with the highest gas consumption standing in front of me.
A certain president, a certain minister, a certain big entrepreneur, a certain supreme leader, a certain military and political leader - most of the people who were dug out of the underground shelter were such guys. Of course, ordinary people are not qualified to enter that kind of shelter, well, those The elites are not all annoying guys. The smart ones among them who are satisfactory have been sent to the nearest refugee area. To be able to stand in such a high position, most of them still have some basic qualities, and the rest , is the trouble among troubles, the middle two among the middle two, I really don’t know how they climbed to this level with an IQ of less than double digits.
Fortunately, the number of these fat-headed idiots is very small, with less than thirty people in total. This shows that the human civilization in the world of "School Apocalypse" was quite satisfactory before it ended.
"Okay, I heard that you have some special requirements, which makes my, um, my sister very angry." After thinking about it, I decided to call a certain smelly-faced doll on my shoulder as my sister, because I don't I guarantee that when I say words like "doll" or "pet", this guy will simply bury me alive with chicken feathers.
"Hmph!" Mercury Lamp snorted in displeasure, and kicked my shoulder twice with his little feet, but he didn't run away, so he acquiesced to this temporary identity.
As long as you have the mentality to grind an iron pestle into a needle, Sir, I also have the courage to teach you!
"First of all, on behalf of humanity, I would like to thank you for your rescue, a friend from another world. You will be our forever friend. I hope that in the future..."
The one who spoke was the one with the biggest brain among the people, the so-called fat-headed noodle. This guy looks like the kind of successful person who has a bunch of uncles in the upper-level leadership department and a bunch of nephews in the lower-level functional departments. His words also perfectly reflect his personality. Habits that people in this position should have: represent humanity as soon as they open their mouths.
Damn it, the human race is almost dead and you still don’t let me go, you’re a fool! Of the more than 270,000 people, 27 know you, so I will give you the honorary title of Know-It-All!
"I don't like nonsense," I waved my hand, interrupting the skilled official rhetoric of this gas-guzzling elitist. "What do you want?"
"It's like this," a certain high-fuel-guzzler was interrupted by me unceremoniously. He was slightly embarrassed, but the skill of pretending to be stupid in the face of any unexpected situation that he had honed over many years still allowed him to maintain that fat smile, " We are all leaders before mankind encountered a catastrophe, and have very rich experience in how to manage human society. We just had a meeting, and the result of the discussion was that the now collapsed human society urgently needs to establish a new order, that is, The new leadership system, this leadership system should naturally be taken up by us. I hope you can help us divide the human beings who are now mixed together according to our way. Perhaps an alien civilization like yours that has entered a unified world cannot Understand how we think, but the complexity of human society…”
"And to be thus mixed with the heathen in our doctrine is also..."
"We are at war with Country D. Even if the end comes, we will continue the jihad to the end!"
"Humanity should be led by humans. We thank you for your help, but human society must maintain its independence and sovereign integrity!"
"It's so boring..."
Without any concealment, I looked up to the sky and yawned. I no longer had any desire to understand the large-displacement and fuel-inefficient lamps in front of me.
It turns out that they are all a group of paranoid people who are obsessed with their own power, or adhere to religious fanaticism, or are full of nationalism. Unfortunately, I thought they were just a group of ordinary idiots at first. I really look down on you.
I have to admit that in peaceful times - relative to the peaceful times of the end of the world - this kind of paranoid may rely on his bad tongue to fool the people into treating them as national heroes, outstanding politicians, racist fighters, etc., but In this situation, these guys are idiots.
That will only lead to the final destruction of human society. I have no doubt that once the turbaned jihadi uncle achieves his wish, he will set off a revolution among the only 270,000 people on earth, even if he and All his national enemies are dead and only a few hundred people are left. And the guy who claimed to be the supreme leader just now, maybe he wants us to help establish a new government for you? Or do you plan to find a position directly from the imperial leadership?
Idiots, your social system is ruined and all you former elites are worthless now.
"Isolate these people alone and watch them get upset - you can choose to go on a hunger strike, sit in quietly, shout slogans, and have sex alone in your own private isolation area, but don't affect our normal work." After saying this, I As he turned to leave, the protests of the gas guzzlers came from behind him: "You are contemptuous of ***!" "You have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of mankind!" "Give human freedom back to mankind!" "Conspiracy !This is all a conspiracy of you invaders!"
"Well, I forgot to mention one thing," I stopped suddenly, turned around and said with a smile, "About twenty-four hours ago, we canceled the cancellation in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Rescue Measures for Advanced Civilizations of the Universe" (which was just formulated two minutes ago) All laws and regulations on the earth, from the United Nations Charter to the code of street civilization, are now prevailing in this place. The Imperial Code. According to the code, as the head of state, I have the right to genocide you anytime, anywhere, so - be careful, don't Let the civilization of the earth be destroyed because of your stupid words."
"Hmph, if it were me, I would have killed all these idiots long ago. They are as useless as garbage!" After throwing a bunch of big shots to the imperial soldiers, I left the refugees carrying the mercury lamp that had almost become a shoulder accessory. District, the latter is obviously still full of resentment towards those fat-headed and big-eared human elites, and is currently sitting on my shoulder and thinking quietly.
"Why are you so angry?" I looked at the mercury lamp in surprise. Those people just now were just a group of idiots who felt good about themselves. Why was the mercury lamp so angry?
"Just now, there was a bastard who thought I was a simulation doll made by aliens!" Mercury Lamp said angrily, "There was also a wretched guy who wanted to tease me with a cat stick! If it weren't for those hateful soldiers of yours, I would have killed them all a long time ago!"
Funny... cat stick? ! Wow, who is so creative?
"Okay, okay, anyway, they are all a bunch of miserable people who have ruined their country and their family." I rubbed Mercury Lamp's soft silver hair, and the latter shook his head hard and avoided politely, "And - Do you think I will let those scum stay and interfere with the reconstruction of human civilization? Those fat-headed guys who have been accustomed to a superior life will only be a hindrance. If they stay, they can only be a disaster. "
"Eh?"
"The darkness and viciousness of the ruler are not something that an ignorant little girl like you can understand."
Looking up at the sky, I showed an infinitely deep and far-sighted look.
"Humph, just so-so." The mercury lamp kicked me twice on the arm. "What excuse are you going to use to execute them? The existence of these people has been seen by many refugees. If they suddenly disappeared, it would not cause panic. ? Many of the refugees are already afraid of your imperial soldiers and those weird Protoss, right?"
ah? Will this 92.3 still think about such in-depth issues?
"Don't worry, in this period, humans don't have much energy to pay attention to other people," I said nonchalantly, "Didn't I just say that they should be isolated alone? Push the entire habitation module into the orbit of Venus. Then turn off the power, it will feel quite exciting..."
On the afternoon of the third day, the global refugee search officially came to an end.
The empire's high-tech probes and the Marines and Dark Templars from the New Eden Federation have turned the entire earth upside down. In the end, the population of the earth's people after the end of the world was fixed at a cold number: 280,000 7,355 people.
The intelligent species that once dominated the entire planet and covered it with the fruits of civilization with a population of 7 billion now only has a population of 280,000 left. The numbers are as cold as reality.
I don’t know how Laura did it, but in short, the situation of these refugees is relatively stable now. Although it is impossible to have a scene of everyone working together to restore the light of civilization, at least they are no longer filled with the kind of extreme despair. The sad atmosphere, well, this is already good. After all, these last 280,000 people have almost all lost their relatives and friends. Even now, every sallow and thin face around them is unfamiliar. The glory of mankind has ended, and now it is The first bell in the long night rang, and it was good that they could welcome all this in peace.
I have also made a decision about the resettlement of these 280,000 refugees. Of course, it is not to bring them back to the Shadow City, or even to our plane - that would definitely bite me to death. In fact, I am already in this position. A colonial city was built for human refugees near the equator of Mars.
Well, that is to say, a colony ball inside the Imperial Admiral was directly transferred to the surface of Mars. It is a real prefabricated commercial room that can be used immediately after being put into use. That thing was originally used for colonization. Before leaving the Shadow City, the bubbles were It has been modified to a certain extent to make it more densely populated - originally to cater to Qian Qian's ambition to own thousands of three-bedroom apartments, but now it is just the place to accommodate these 280,000 refugees.
Of course, it will be quite crowded...
However, more than a dozen builders have already begun work on the surface of Mars. They are controlled by Bubble in Shadow City and will expand a large low-level colonial area centered on the Martian shelter (that is, the colony ball). The refugees will be given ample living space and... a new home like an acg theme park.
As for the transformation of the Martian environment, I left it to the servant army of the New Eden Federation. The humans who have been struggling to survive in Keprulu for many years are more professional than the Xiling people in this regard.
Then the final work is...purification.
"The eop-03 locking system has been released, the weapon core area reaction has begun, and it can be released at any time."
Such emotionless mechanical broadcasts suddenly sounded from the Imperial Admiral and every ship in the entire combined fleet. At the same time, the isolation doors of each refugee area also fell one by one.
Huge holographic projections appeared over the large open areas in the ship. What the projections showed was the scarred earth, as well as the containment ships that were leaving the surface in batches and returning to the fleet formation - these pictures showed a unified ’s perspective, they are all images transmitted directly from the Imperial Admiral. .
A dazzling white ball of light suddenly appeared from below these projection screens, then slowly moved towards the earth, and then changed its orbit and entered a state of orbiting the earth.
"Eop-03 has been released and is in orbit, ready to launch attacks at any time."
"Hey! What on earth is going on!? Chen, what on earth are you going to do!?"
What came hurriedly from their own cabin was the out of breath Komuro Takashi and his party. I noticed that Busujima Saeko was following them at the back and showed me an apologetic expression at this moment.
This girl...why has she left me such a mess now? Can't you tell them in advance to give them a buffer?
Due to his special status, Takashi Komuro's activities near the bridge have always been tacitly allowed by me. It seems that the imperial soldiers did not stop them this time, but they caused me some trouble.
"Simple, purify this planet."
I pointed at the huge blue planet on the holographic projection. A dazzling white small ball of light was slowly orbiting above it - this slowness is relative speaking. If it were not for EOP, the orbit would be one circle per hour. -03 comes with high-power thrusters and coordinate engines. It has already exceeded the second cosmic speed and disappeared with a whoosh.
"Purify...?" Komuro Takashi blinked and repeated this beautiful word that is equated with "extermination of humanity" in many literary and artistic works, "You want to destroy the earth!?"
"Is it possible that you want to keep it and continue to cause harm to mankind?" I knew that I couldn't take the friendly route with the other party at this time, but what was this slight discomfort in my heart about being on the opposite side? "According to our detection, the dead bodies are not caused by viruses at all, but are most likely related to some kind of energy. This energy called the 'abyss' has been scouring countless worlds since hundreds of billions of years ago. We are I have been fighting with them since I broke out of my home star. The danger of the abyss is beyond your imagination. Even the frequent disasters on the earth now are suspected to be related to it. Although the human refugees have left the earth now, this energy It still exists and is growing. Today it can turn people into dead bodies through reinforced concrete bunkers. Tomorrow it may cross space and wipe out all humans in new shelters. Therefore, the earth must be purified - this is elimination. The only way for this kind of energy.”
What I said was true, but I still felt a little guilty.
Although this is the guess, and the current situation of the earth does look like it is polluted by the abyss, neither the Imperial Admiral's special abyss detection device nor my own mental power have been able to check it from that planet. When it comes to any abyssal reaction, some are just a short-lived energy release deep in the core of the earth, and unidentifiable energy emitted from several cracks in the earth's crust.
Protos' Phoenix fighter jet flew through the storm clouds over South America for two days and two nights, collecting a lot of inexplicable feed signals. Two well-trained ghost agents guarded a volcano crater for twenty-four hours. , finally came back with a head full of soot, and 20g of garbled code. Even the Xiling agents we sent out found nothing: they almost penetrated the mantle, but they still couldn't detect anything deep in the core. .
The only valuable intelligence is that there is an extraordinarily powerful non-physical barrier deep in the mantle, which tightly protects the core and makes even our best Imperial agents unsuccessful.
If we have enough time, maybe we can slowly analyze what that barrier is, but now, the growing uneasiness and Lin Xue's reminder to me are approaching at the same time, making me unable to wait any longer.
No matter what is parasitic in the earth, taking the initiative is the best plan now, and it is still unknown whether an eop-03 specially used to deal with the earth's crust can cause damage to the thing in the earth's core. Perhaps, it can only be done "It" just showed up in advance.
Of course Komuro Takashi and others don't know the complicated situation, but they have discovered from my expression that the destruction of the earth seems inevitable.
Loss, anger, helplessness, all kinds of expressions are gathered together. Now Komuro Takashi has eggs written on the left side of his face and pain on the right face - sorry, you shouldn't joke at this time.
"It's time now. Human beings should learn to give up." I patted Komuro Takashi on the shoulder. "Look at this scene carefully. Human beings have never gazed at the hometown where they grew up like this. At least, on the eve of its destruction, they watched it. One ride.”
At this moment, I felt like I was possessed by a wet person, even though I spent thirty minutes yesterday thinking about my lines for this second of possession...
At this moment, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded across the bridge.
"Highest warning! Highest warning! The target planet has violently collapsed, and the formation of the abyss gate has been detected. Repeat, the target planet has violently collapsed, and the formation of the abyss gate has been detected. The threat level is being calculated... Fatal threat, fatal threat ! Suspected to be the gate of the high-polymer abyss!"
In an instant, the entire combined fleet was broadcasting such an alarm. The refugees, who had just been calm for a day, started to riot again in panic. The alarms that rang through the alien ships made them wonder whether even these powerful space fortresses were About to fall, Laura, who was leading her followers to comfort the refugees, even had to use the magic of group comfort to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
"Calm down, everyone, please calm down. This spaceship is under the strictest protection..." Laura Stewart calmly calmed the panicked refugees while casting her big blue eyes into the distance. In the direction of the command center, "Lord, what happened... Why are even those Xiling apostles so nervous..."
"What...what happened?!"
The sudden change made Komuro Takashi and others panic. Even Busujima Saeko, who was always extremely calm, turned his uneasy gaze here. What scares them most now is not the dead body and the end of the world, but those who are powerful enough to reverse the end of the world. All the Xiling apostles are in full preparedness, as if facing a formidable enemy - what kind of threat is this?
"Abyss, didn't you hear it? The abyss appeared... Hey, where was that thing hidden before? How could it suddenly appear?!"
I spoke hurriedly, adjusting the series of holographic projections in front of me to various angles. The earth that was gradually disintegrating was clearly presented in front of my eyes. Unprecedented thunderstorms were raging in the atmosphere, and bright flashes were covered like huge snowflakes. On the surface, raging fires spread to every corner of the blue planet. The dim red color can even be seen from outer space. Tsunamis, unprecedentedly huge tsunamis, swallowed up the coastal areas of all continents. On the image of the earth, , the boundary line between blue and brown was constantly turbulent due to the tsunami. I couldn't imagine what a terrifying hell it would be on the surface of this scene that could even be seen from outer space. A few minutes later, the earthquake started.
No, it's not an earthquake, it's simply the earth's crust collapsing! At first, there were just a few thin cracks that were almost indistinguishable, but when they suddenly extended and expanded into bright red lines, I realized that the entire planet was falling apart!
Some kind of ultimate energy has gone out of control and is tearing this poor life boat from the inside. The abyss has finally opened its ferocious claws.
But I still can't imagine where this unprecedentedly powerful abyss energy was hiding! Crust? mantle? Or should we say, the core of the earth?
Impossible! My mental power can penetrate the endless void. Even if the barrier deep in the mantle blocks the imperial agents, it cannot stop me from sensing the energy inside it. There is no abyss there, absolutely not, but...it is so abrupt now Appeared.
"What you said...are all true..." Komuro Takashi stared blankly at his familiar hometown being disintegrated by a mysterious and terrifying energy. He couldn't help but murmured to himself with a pale face, "What on earth is that thing?" …”
"Take them off the bridge," I pressed hard on the guardrail of the bridge and said without looking back. "Start the space teleportation and send these refugees in batches to the ecological colony sphere we deployed on the surface of Mars..."
Fortunately, we landed a colonial ecological ball on the surface of Mars ahead of schedule yesterday. Now these refugees who have no fighting ability but may become a burden can be evacuated to a safe area in advance, because I really can't guarantee that in the abyss here During the energy battle, will the last 280,000 survivors on earth be affected...
"I do not go!"
A clear and firm voice suddenly sounded, interrupting my order.
