Shocked by the gunshots, the crowd surrounding the station was stuck.
The blood boiling with fear gradually cooled down. It was not until this moment that people began to re-examine the power armor blocking them, and the muzzle that was emitting a cold air.
If a little person who was unheard of had stood in front of them, maybe they wouldn't have been like this.
Where are you going?
Facing the stagnant people, Jiang Chen slowly spoke.
Earth?Io?Or get out of the solar system?
Look at what you are now.
The tentacles of the bed bug have not yet reached, but you have killed a few of your compatriots.Look at the blood under your feet, picking up your mobile phone, mirror or other reflective things, looking at your face, and seeing what kind of garbage those who died in Pluto’s orbit have protected.
I want to go back to Earth to meet my relatives for the last time, queue up according to my identity number and evacuate in batches.
If there are any rebels, they will be shot directly.
The army can withdraw, but it must be after all civilians evacuate.
As for me.
I won't go anywhere.
After throwing this sentence away, and the silent crowd, Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards the armored vehicle beside the station.
He glanced at the crowd standing under the stairs expressionlessly, and Lilith put away the silver short blade hidden in her sleeve.
……
Hong Zewei is arranging work in the city hall. There are only Jiang Chen and Lilith in the carriage of this armored vehicle.
Looking at Jiang Chen staring at the group of helpless people outside the window, Lilith asked.
Did you take it seriously just now?
Which sentence?
You won't go anywhere.
If you are worried about self-destructing the program, you can rest assured that I will transfer the permissions to Liu Yifei depending on the situation.
Even if you transfer the authority of that thing to Liu Yifei, if something really happens to you, I will probably be vented by that woman.
Lilith complained silently in her heart.
But the key to the problem is not here.
For an artificial intelligence that does not exist and is alive, what really makes her care is not whether she can continue to exist.
It may be a bit difficult to understand this way, but one thing is not wrong.
Compared to these eight billion boring samples, she hopes that Jiang Chen can survive.
Well, this is just a conclusion drawn from the efficiency of the experiment.
Even if the eight billion samples survive, it would be just a repeat of the boring life.
They are not essentially different from those bugs, and no matter which side ultimately survives this natural selection hunt, this will not change at all.
At least in her Lilith's eyes.
If there is no chance of winning, I suggest giving up here directly.Lilith said expressionlessly.
Why?I remember you said you like the world very much.Jiang Chen moved his gaze away from the car window and glanced at Lilith in surprise.
...It is just to give suggestions that are most suitable for the current situation from the perspective of rationality.You can also ignore it, but if you ask me, I will still answer you like this, and you don't have to do this for them.
You rarely say such difficult things.Jiang Chen smiled, and, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up.
Why?Lilith asked.
Because... Jiang Chen closed his eyes and after a long time, he spoke slowly, because I was about to become a father.
Jiang Chen didn't want his child to be born in a devastated world as soon as he opened his eyes. He could only see everything his father had seen from nursery rhymes and picture books.
He spent his entire childhood, struggled to understand the civilization his father said, and cast envious eyes on it.
No matter which world he ultimately chooses to inherit, Jiang Chen hopes that he can be born in a beautiful world.
Lilith still looked at Jiang Chen, and a confused expression appeared on her face.
Jiang Chen suddenly laughed and shook his head.
If you don’t talk about this, you can’t have children anyway, so it’s impossible to understand this mood.
...It's really okay to say that, although it's a bit enviable.
Jiang Chen did not hear Lilith's second half of the sentence.
Because her voice is very small.
So small that only she could hear it herself.
……
The news of the defeat of the Earth fleet came from the distant Kuiper belt to the rear.
At this moment, the self-confidence that had originally expanded due to the progress of aerospace technology and the luxury of civilization for the word "civilization" were all torn to pieces by the cruel reality.
They do not come with the purpose of peace.
Now, the last resistance of the Earth Defense Alliance has been torn to pieces by the swarm of insects.
Almost the moment the bad news came, the whole world changed.
People flocked to the new country, to the two space elevators, to the Star Ring City.
Air tickets, boat tickets, space elevator tickets... were sold out at the moment of issuance, and the websites of many airlines were crowded. Xinghuan Trade and Shipping Department was even forced to close the ticket window for space elevators.
The only Origin ship anchored in Star Ring City seems to have become the last hope of human civilization...
On Coconut Island, on the phone, Di Lieba reported to Jiang Chen about the situation on the earth.
The heads of various countries require us to share all starships and allocate escape quotas based on the investment.
Escape quota?
This statement is really new.
However, Jiang Chen did not stop him, as if he did not take this matter to heart at all, and said.
Promise them.
In the face of the threat of death, reason has lost its effect.
If his answer is rejection, perhaps the humans on Earth will self-destruct before the colonial ship of harmonious civilization arrives on Earth.
If the Star Ring Trade is ready to leave the countries and run away alone, then the countries will definitely fight to the death with the only Star Ring Trade that controls the power of interstellar navigation.
Those who can have the enlightenment of being generous in their lives will definitely not be those with high power.
Is this really good?Di Lieba hesitated.
There is nothing wrong with it, even if they stay here, it is a hindrance.Which colonial ship is expected to resist the Origin?Stop dreaming.Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.
Di Lieba fell into silence and spoke after a moment.
I see.
If they want to withdraw, they will withdraw theirs and we will withdraw ours.After a pause, Jiang Chen continued to say, taking Jiang Shuying, Liu Yifei and others to Coconut Island immediately... No, just stay there directly to the end of the world and wait for my news.
Di Lieba was slightly stunned and said hurriedly.
Wait, what does it mean, don’t you leave?
I'm going to give it a try.Jiang Chen sighed and said, "If it doesn't work, I will come back."
Di Lieba begged in an almost pleading tone, biting her lower lip.
...Promise me, don't do stupid things.
Say something stupid.Jiang Chen smiled, was silent for about two seconds, and continued in a relaxed tone, waiting for me over there, waiting for my good news.
After saying that, Jiang Chen hung up the phone, leaned back on the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief.
His expression was far less relaxed than his tone.
The situation facing the earth's civilization now is almost the same as a dead end.
The only hope seems to be left with one...
No, maybe there is no question of hope.
But this is the only thing he can do for this world now...
Looking at the metal ball placed on the table, recalling the so-called transaction that Ge Luowen I mentioned, Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.
The blood boiling with fear gradually cooled down. It was not until this moment that people began to re-examine the power armor blocking them, and the muzzle that was emitting a cold air.
