"Extinct?"
The follower's tone seemed to be a little disappointed, but it also seemed like he had expected it.
"Yes, great life." Des prostrated on the ground and respectfully said the secret that everyone here knew, but at this time, it seemed like he was the only one who knew, "After the final battle three years ago, the members of the royal family were hunted by the alien robots. The last member of the royal family was found and executed about a year ago. I know the largest place where the royal family was executed. It is not far from the surface above. I am willing to lead the way for the higher race."
His tail was tightly attached to the ground to show his absolute obedience and submission.
This scene looked very comical. Just a short while ago, the person he was crawling to was a small follower of his, a person whose life and death depended on his breath, a person who trembled in fear and cowered in front of him. Now, the situation was reversed. The person crawling on the ground was him, but he didn't seem to have any psychological barriers at all. It was very natural.
"There is no need." The follower turned to look at the beautiful life and said, "Program 713, because of my body, I need you to provide me with some energy."
The beautiful life said, "Okay, please tell me how much you need and what else I need."
A spinning crystal cube floated in front of the "follower", and he gently reached out his hand to touch it.
At this time, Des had silently retreated with his heart pounding. He was not disappointed that the "follower" did not need him to lead the way. Instead, in his imagination, he felt that this should be the case.
Otherwise, why would the great Fang Mingcheng come from the galactic race? Why would they really need the help of a mortal? Wouldn't that be a joke?
He only needed to express his attitude, and his goal would be achieved. He had seized this opportunity to change the fate of himself and his descendants. He had communicated with the galactic upper race!
As for the content of the communication, it was not important. Although there were still other people in the cave, once it was spread out in the future, he did not need to worry about it. There would definitely be countless versions of the communication, just like the queen back then. She was the only human who had seen the true form of the galactic upper race in a thousand years. No one knew what happened during that meeting, but it did not affect the fact that although she was young, she was the eternal queen!
Now, he had become the second person after the Empress to come into contact with the higher races in the starry sky. This was enough for him to enjoy glory for the rest of his life.
In fact, his attitude was not for his followers, but for others in the future. Would the great beings of the Higher Race care about his attitude? No, definitely not.
He didn't understand Nika's life science theories, but he understood the law of the jungle in the dark cave.
The High Race in the Starry Sky would definitely forget about him in the future. Maybe they would forget about him now, but it was not important. What was important was that the humanoid people would not forget about him. People would always remember that he had communicated with the High Race in the Starry Sky. Even smart people would know that. They knew that the High Race in the Starry Sky would not come to find him again. Who would dare to gamble?
No one dared to, and no one was willing to do so. The difference between the risk and the reward was too great. Perhaps one day, the Higher Race would really ask, "Is that person still around?"
Just like the Empress, he would have a gold medal that would allow him to avoid death!
This was the opportunity in his eyes. He did not want to curry favor with the Higher Race in the Starry Sky and become their follower. From then on, he could do whatever he wanted on the planet. It was impossible, and the Higher Race in the Starry Sky didn't need it.
His only task at the moment was to keep a low profile and stay alive, waiting for the moment when he would be famous in the world. He could not die in the middle of it.
As he thought about it, he did not let his guard down. He kept paying attention to everything in the cave.
No one knew when, but a white light came out from the wall and enveloped everyone like a big net. They seemed to have become the fish in this big net — a kind of aquatic creature in the beautiful world described by the great man Fang Mingcheng.
In front of the followers, they could see a miniature planet. It seemed to be covered by a huge net, covering every corner of the planet, including the sky and the ground.
Then, Nika discovered that there were some green fluorescent-like stars floating up from their bodies, flying into the big net and disappearing. It seemed to be some kind of diagram.
This process was very fast. After she discovered it, a few other people also discovered it. Before the others noticed it, it was already over.
On the tiny planet in front of the followers, a red dot appeared. The red dot was enlarged and displayed on the side with coordinates.
When the image was finally zoomed into the cave, everyone, from Nika to the girl whose tail had been stepped on, from the low-profile Des to the stammering Dunlop, were so shocked that their jaws dropped. After that, the identity of the "person" in front of them could no longer be shaken and confirmed without a doubt —
They did not know who the girl with closed eyes in the center of the image was, but almost all of them knew who the "man" next to the girl was!
Whether it was the statues in the Imperial Square that were dozens of stories high, or the history textbooks that could be seen everywhere, or the illustrations in physics textbooks, or even the graffiti pictures in the information age, they all had this "man" that almost everyone knew —
Fang Mingcheng, the emissary of the starry race, the great man who created a new era in their history!
Everyone's eyes were a little dull. They thought of the rumors that had been circulating for a long time, about the Queen who had mysteriously disappeared a thousand years ago, and Fang Mingcheng who disappeared hundreds of years later. Unexpectedly, he appeared in front of them again, and he was so "alive". They seemed to have understood something.
The depth and mystery of history were intertwined with the present, making people feel unbelievable dislocation.
These people were all historical figures who had lived in textbooks!
No one knew what Nika was thinking. While Dunlop was pleasantly surprised, Des seemed to see another opportunity waving at him.
So when the followers said something to the beautiful creature, they did not hear it clearly. Of course, even if they heard it clearly, they could not understand it.
However, the body of the follower was after all a human being, and they were familiar with it. A trace of disappointment inadvertently appeared in the follower's eyes, which was caught by a few people among them.
Des was naturally one of them, but this time, he could not understand it. It was beyond his scope of understanding.
However, he had been observing the others, and finally found that Nika seemed to be hesitating about something, as if she wanted to say something. At this time, it was impossible for him to stop her. Nika was a little further away from him, and he would not stop her, as long as it was not a question from the starry upper race. Just now, there were also people who tried to talk to the "follower", but they were all ignored.
Of course, he secretly remembered the names of these people.
However, Nika made him feel a little uneasy, and this uneasy feeling soon became reality.
"Great life." Nika finally spoke. Her title was no different from Des's, but what she said next was a little surprising. "I know that there is a male descendant of the royal family who may still be alive, but I am not sure."
After seeing the trace of disappointment in the follower's eyes, she thought about what the "follower" had asked before, and thought that it might not only be the girl who was magnified in the center of the image, but also Fang Mingcheng, it was very likely that it was the missing Queen from a thousand years ago.
And if it was not only a female, then it might be looking for a male descendant of the royal family.
From a genetic point of view, if the descendant was born from a female royal descendant, the genetic chain would form a zigzag between male and female, and the ancestral chain would always be formed by a male, which would be a straight line. Then, the "follower" would either want both or that straight line.
No matter which one it was, there might be a zigzag line, but there was no straight line, so the reason for the "follower"'s disappointment could be seen.
The reason why Nika hesitated was because she felt that Collin could not have survived, but in the end, she still said it. Other than being worried that the follower would leave and no longer care about this planet, there was also a glimmer of hope. If Collin was still alive, the nightmare in her heart would be reduced by a lot.
However, after all, it had been four years, and this hope was too small.
As if to confirm her guess, the "follower" really turned its head and said in the Homo sapiens language, "Where is he?"
Nika took a deep breath and said slowly, "His name is Collin, a descendant of the royal family. After the destruction of Space Station 39, we once observed that the observation cabin he was in had drifted into space. It might be connected to a material cabin, but we are not very sure. Later, because of signal interference, we have never been able to contact him. It has been four years."
She said succinctly while looking at the "follower" in surprise. It had already opened a new image, projecting it into the cave. It was as if the scene had just happened yesterday, so clearly and realistically displayed in front of her eyes.
The exploded Space Station 39 began to disintegrate, and the observation cabin dragged the debris and flew into deep space.
She could even see the shadow of Collin from four years ago as the "follower" continued to zoom in and tumble. She could even see the shadow of Collin completing the last command at the last moment.
The "follower" turned to the beautiful life form and said, "Program 713, I need all the subsequent records of the trajectory of this observation cabin."
The beautiful life form was still as calm as when she appeared and said, "Okay, the transmission has been completed."
Des took a deep look at Nika as if he had gotten to know this woman again. He thought to himself, This woman is not simple. I have underestimated her. That descendant of the royal family is really pitiful and sad. Because of her death, he was used by her again. I must be careful of this person in the future …
At this time, the "follower" had already closed the virtual scene in the cave and flew towards the exit.
Dun Lou, who was next to Des, struggled and seemed to be shouting, "Please save us!"
Des sneered. He suddenly felt that he had successfully schemed against this guy, but now he did not feel any sense of accomplishment at all … If the higher race in the starry sky wants to save us, do we need you to say it? If they don't want to save us, what's the use of saying it?
However, he could vaguely feel that after the appearance of the "follower", the doomsday era was about to end, and a new era was about to be rebuilt from the ruins. The method that allowed him to run amok in the underground dark cave was about to be eliminated.
If he did not change, even if he had the chance to succeed today, he would not be able to achieve much in the future. Dun Lou was an opportunity that came to him. In the future, scientific intelligence would gradually be restored, so he naturally would not let it go.
They did not know where the "follower" was going, but since they had already followed it here, there was no reason for them to not follow it. Therefore, they all followed it and climbed out from the exit.
On the way, they met many people who were climbing out. Only then did they know the latest news: when they were staying underground with the "follower", the machine that drilled through the planet stopped, and the cold robots also left. All the abnormal changes made everyone's heart pound. As they got closer to the surface, they had a premonition that the thing that they had been waiting for for a long time was happening!
On the ground, on the dark and desolate ruins, they finally crawled out. They looked at the towering high-speed rail monster in the distance, looked at the robots on the ground, and looked at the people who were crawling out from the cave exits in all directions, and looked at each other …
Some people knelt on the ground, some people cried, some people ran like crazy, some people were silent, some people screamed, some people looked up at the sky and called the names of the dead, some people hugged each other with tears streaming down their faces, some people fainted from grief and joy, and some people were in a daze.
The four years of doomsday had ended. The steel monster stopped roaring, the robots were scattered on the ground, and the dark and destroyed city … After the catastrophe, the survivors stood on the ruins and welcomed their "rebirth".
Des and the others looked at the "follower" rising into the sky, getting higher and higher, getting further and further away, until it finally became a black dot and disappeared from their sight.
The catastrophe that they had been struggling with for four years was solved in less than a moment after this person arrived …
