In order to cope with the possible wave of riots, the Pegasus civilized government has made very complete arrangements. A large number of troops have been deployed to the edge of the city, and the police have taken to the streets to patrol, ready to attack possible thugs at any time.
But to people's expectation, after the new leader finished his speech, the city remained quiet. No one took to the streets to hold opposition demonstrations, and no one took to the streets to start riots. Everything in the city was as usual.
It's like nothing happened.
In this silence, the new leader and other leadership members sat quietly in the conference room. Everyone was silently waiting for something.
"We have done everything we can do. The rest is left to fate to decide. We always believe that our civilized people will not let us down, right?" said the new leader.
Three hours later, the data channel for accepting applications to become members of the Escape Committee was opened. The new leader was the first to apply very solemnly. This application was immediately published in the data world, and anyone can get it through query.
message.
Next, military leaders sent out their applications, followed by industry leaders, business leaders, scientist representatives...
Everyone who is doing this has sent out their own applications and given up hope of survival.
Then there was silence. In the data world, no new applications appeared for the time being.
Everyone is still waiting for something, and the atmosphere is very serious.
After a few minutes, a lonely name appeared on the application list. All the information about this person was immediately retrieved for all the leaders present to view.
"It's him? Isn't Mr. Wells known for being stingy and fearful of death? It is rumored that even if he goes shopping, he will bring at least a security team of more than fifty elite soldiers. In fact, during the Shenzhou Civilization Attack
When we were in the capital system, if he hadn't been hiding in the fortress a thousand meters underground and missed the time to board the ship, he would have escaped with the previous leader. Apart from us, he was the first to apply to join the Escape Committee.
It turns out that the person is Wells?”
In the conference room, the leaders looked at each other, and some couldn't believe their eyes.
"I'm afraid of death. I'm just afraid of dying inexplicably. I'm just afraid that my death will be meaningless. Now is the most critical moment of our civilization. For the continuation of civilization, what does it matter if I sacrifice my life? I am for
The ideals in our hearts. Sacrifice for our beliefs. To me, this is the best way to lose life." Accompanying it was a declaration from Mr. Wells.
In a large and luxurious house, Mr. Wells wiped his eyes and said to the more than fifty elite soldiers who were always waiting by his side: "You all go. From now on, you don't have to protect me anymore."
I'm going to die in eight months anyway, so no one will be interested in killing me now."
After Mr. Wells's name, two more names jumped out instantly. Similarly, the information of these two people was also retrieved.
Of these two people, one is an ordinary clerk and the other is an old man who has retired long ago.
"I live a useless life. I have no outstanding looks, no outstanding abilities, and no prominent family background, but I still love the world, our society, and our civilization. I hope our civilization can continue and be more
Good things will continue. So I choose to give up the hope of survival to others."
In a room in a dilapidated building in the corner of the city, a short, ugly-looking middle-aged man sent these words and sighed softly.
Behind him, stood a strong female intelligent creature, even thicker than the male intelligent creatures. At this moment, when she saw what the short and ugly man in front of her was doing, her eyes became wet uncontrollably.
"I just discovered that you are the real man. My dear, I will stay with you."
"Dear. Thank you."
A poor and humble couple embraced each other happily.
On the edge of the city, there is a dilapidated small house. An old intelligent creature drank the last bit of alcoholic beverage in his hand and muttered to himself with drunken eyes: "I'm going to die anyway, so why not give up the hope of living?"
Those young lads...they are the hope of civilization."
In the data world, the number of applicants began to slowly increase. Among these people, there were unemployed people who were down and out.
There are young students, middle-aged people with successful careers, beautiful girls, dignified ladies...
All kinds of people, all kinds of declarations.
Half an hour after the data channel was opened, the number of applicants showed a surge. Every minute and every second, there was a flood of data connection requests, and every minute and every second, there were a large number of Pegasus civilizations.
Intelligent creatures sign up to join the escape committee and at the same time give up hope of their own escape.
The flood of data connection requests has been going on for three hours, and the momentum has not slowed down, but has become more and more intense. The top leader is sitting here, and he doesn’t know when his eyes have filled with tears. He turned around and faced
Looking at the other leaders, he said, "See? These are the people of our Pegasus civilization. As long as they are here, our civilization will never perish. Those who followed the previous leader to escape, although they have relatively powerful
They have more outstanding personal abilities, but they are not pure Pegasus civilized creatures. Because they have lost the most precious spirit of our civilization."
"This is our people, this is our people!"
In the current Pegasus civilization, there are only about 30 billion people under the leadership of the government. As of now, in five hours, more than 15 billion people have signed up to join the escape.
Committee. Eight hours later, the number increased to 18 billion people. Twelve hours later, the number exceeded 20 billion. Seventy-two hours later, the number finally stood at 28 billion.
Fixed frame.
A heroic emotion began to spread across the entire planet.
"This is our civilization! We will die, but our civilization will not die, and the spirit of our civilization will not die!"
"I have the honor to experience such a great era and to witness the greatest spirit of our civilization. In order to protect this spirit, I will not hesitate to devote my life."
"Even if you die, you will have no regrets! Fight until the last moment!"
This situation can be said to be unexpected by the top leaders. Therefore, after an emergency meeting, some changes were made to the rules of the lottery. Specifically, the lottery was changed from those who had not registered to the lottery.
A lottery will be conducted among those who have signed up. Currently, there are only about 2 billion people who have decided to flee, leaving a gap of 8 billion people. These 8 billion people will be selected from the 28 billion people who have signed up.
.Whoever is selected must be forced to leave this planet and start an interstellar escape.
After the lottery started, another unexpected thing happened. The people who were selected by the lottery were generally excited, and some even gathered in front of the highest government agencies to sit in and demonstrate. They held up slogans and shouted their slogans loudly.
"We won't leave! We want to stay in our homeland and live and die with our homeland until the last moment! Give the hope of survival to those who can make greater contributions to our civilization!"
In addition, there have even been some extreme incidents. Some of the selected people actually committed suicide to resist the escape arrangements. Their meaning was obvious: "After I commit suicide, you can't take my body."
Put it on the spaceship and take it away? Give the chance of survival to others."
In order to ensure order, government agencies had to deploy guards to closely guard the selected people to prevent resistance. After stumbling along the way, the lottery finally came to an end. Ten billion selected people were guarded by the guards.
Under custody, they boarded the escape spaceship. Countless people left behind began to pray for the escape spaceship. On the separate roads, countless people shed their own tears.
"Young man, work hard, we must pass on our civilization and tell our descendants how great our civilization was!"
"My dear, don't miss me after I leave..."
"Dear, I won't leave, I want to stay, I want to stay!" A young male intelligent creature struggled desperately, resisting the capture of the guards. Not far from him, a young female intelligent creature
The creature's eyes were filled with tears, but it was still shouting at the top of its lungs: "My dear, you must live, you must live!"
This male intelligent creature finally failed to resist the guards' arrest, and he was forcibly escorted onto the spacecraft. Through the porthole of the spacecraft, he squatted on the ground helplessly, as if he had lost his soul.
The boarding operation lasted for two months. After all preparations were completed, under the reluctant eyes of countless people, these spacecraft finally left their hometown and embarked on a distant and unknown journey. What exactly greeted them?
,neither knows.
At this moment, there are still 20 billion people living on this planet. The leader followed his promise, stayed, and began to lead the people and soldiers in last-minute war preparations.
"Even if the road ahead is destruction and hell, we must leave our names in this universe and let our names fly in this universe forever. What about the sixth-level alien beasts? Our Pegasus civilization will let us
