I walk in the past, continue the future

Chapter 167 How to Leave
Shelley and the rest of the people around looked a little ugly.

After a lengthy silence, Shelley lowered his head and said.

"Yes, we know that too."

"Don't be so afraid." Xia Lian smiled, "I don't need this thing for the time being.

When you own an incomparably vast land and control an incomparably large number of ethnic groups, you will understand that exclusion and war will not last long after all.

Only an open and mutually respectful integration of ethnic groups can truly rule for a long time and peacefully.

The Jalimans are not as repulsive to aliens as other ethnic groups.

So naturally I won't drive you away.

You have so many ethnic groups here, and they can live together in such harmony without any major conflicts.

I also believe that you also hold the same philosophy as the Jalimans. "

Shelley raised his head, a little hope appeared on his originally gloomy face.

"However, it's hard to say what will happen in the future." Xia Lian laughed.

"Yes, yes, we understand." Shelley smiled and nodded.

Although they don't know what the future holds, they know that, at least for now, they are safe.

"Take us to visit your city." Xia Lian smiled.

"Yes, yes, please come with us." Shelley said happily.

Shelley naturally didn't feel that the other party had any interest in their city, but what he knew was that this was the kindness released by the other party to them, and it was naturally impossible for them not to catch it.

It was already close to the city, so they walked right in.

Watching the few people gradually go away, Darry was a little puzzled.

"Elder, who are these two people, such a grand occasion?"

"What do you know?" The human elder whom Dari called an elder scolded, "Fortunately, your handling just now was fairly to the point, without any arrogant attitude.

Otherwise, all of us will have to be buried with it! "

There was a look of astonishment on Darry's face.

The elder looked deeply at the direction Xia Lian was leaving, "You should have heard their conversation just now, right?
They are the real masters here. "

"what?"

Darry didn't react for a while.

"What else can it be? This thing is made by others, don't you understand?" the old man said.

It was difficult for Darry to accept for a while, he has lived on this land for several generations, he was born here, and lived here.

But suddenly one day, someone told him that this land did not belong to him, it belonged to someone else, and no one would accept it.

"Don't be unconvinced." The elder murmured softly, "We don't have any bargaining chips in our hands. It's easy for the other party to destroy us. The abnormalities just now are a warning."

Darui remained silent, countless thoughts swirling in his mind.

"Don't think about attacking them." The elder said like a prophet, "The intelligence in this place has already awakened, even if they die, we will not be able to eliminate the intelligence here in a short time.

Then the final result, after all, is a dead end.

And most importantly. "

The elder looked at Darui, "Do you think we can move people who can create such miracles?"

"Shouldn't we just do nothing?" Da Rui said unwillingly.

"Doing nothing is the best choice." The elder murmured softly.

"The owner of this place hasn't been here for nearly [-] years, why did he suddenly appear today?" a person on the side asked.

"This morning, three people broke through the guards and broke into the main control room, and they wanted to seize the authority of this place through technological intrusion.

But unfortunately, the artificial intelligence here is awakened. "The old man murmured in a low voice.

"What?" The man's expression changed, and then, a touch of anger appeared on his face, "What did they do!!?"

"Don't worry, listen to me first." The old man continued.

"After the artificial intelligence woke up, it almost wanted to clean up everything on this land without any hesitation.

That's the case with the abnormalities that happened just now. He turned on the energy furnace, which can reduce us to ashes almost instantly.

But in the end, he stopped this action. "

Darry seemed to have thought of something, "Is it because of the arrival of those two people?"

The old man nodded, "That's true, so in a sense, their arrival saved us, but it's unknown at the moment, and we don't know whether it's his subjective or non-subjective.

But now it seems that they are kind to us.

Among us humans, there is a saying that fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

Many things that seem like a curse can be a good thing.

Many things that seem to be good things may also be the beginning of disasters.

This land has become our refuge though.

But it also becomes a cage that binds us, from which we cannot break free.

Maybe they will be our chance to get out of here. "

Darry nodded thoughtfully.

Xia Lian was walking around the city with the Queen on her arm, and people from different ethnic groups around them were looking at them curiously.

It is said to be a city, but Xia Lian thinks it should be more like a countryside.

Because most of the houses here are wooden-reinforced houses, with wood as the skeleton, and then filled with various straw and soil, and the highest is no more than six floors.

And there are very few vehicles on the street.

"Aren't you industrializing?" Xia Lian asked curiously.

Shelley smiled wryly, "Although this land has nurtured us, it is not a real planet after all.

In addition to land resources, the rest of the various minerals that support our industrialization, such as oil and gold, are almost pitiful, and can only meet some of our basic living needs.

The few remaining materials to make things only allow us to maintain what our ancestors left behind.

But in fact, it has decayed a lot over the years. "

Xia Lian nodded, "Without the support of productivity brought by industrialization, you can only rely on farming. It shouldn't be easy to feed so many people."

"It's also thanks to some genetically modified crops that we brought with us when we evacuated," Shelley said.

"But as the number of people increases, it's not a long-term solution after all." Xia Lian looked at Shelley, "You guys, have you thought about leaving?"

Shelley fell into silence, he looked around, then at Xia Lian, "You're right, in recent years, a group of us have had the same worries.

So in recent years, the conflicts between the various ethnic groups have become increasingly intense, and everyone feels that because of the arrival of the other party, the resources that should belong to them have been divided.

Leaving may also be a better choice.

But the question is how to leave.

The number of lives in this place is far greater than the number of people who fled here in the first place.

Our ships simply cannot take everyone. "

Shelley didn't speak, he was waiting for the answer from the person beside him.

"I'm going to visit the energy core." Xia Lian said.

Without waiting for the answer she wanted, Shelley didn't feel discouraged, but continued to nod.

"Yes, the entrance to the energy core has been blocked for thousands of years, and we have reopened it, so you may have to come with us."

Xia Lian nodded.
