Chapter 2359: Lonely Person

Chapter 2652 The Lonely Man

"We walked around the city for a long time and found nothing."

Jean said and Tang Rao sighed.

"It would be nice to find another piece."

Werther said with a helpless smile.

"It's good to find a piece. Now we just have to set sail."

Tang Rao said with joy on Gu Yi's face.

"Let's set sail directly, otherwise Gu Yi won't be able to hold it in any longer."

Gu Yi scratched his head helplessly, and the spacecraft started to launch. It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and many people in Section 10 were also going to rest. Gene stayed in the control room, and Shakira was also there.

"It was nice talking to you Gene."

Shakira said Gene asked.

"Don't you need to go rest?"

Shakira shook her head.

"I'm not sleepy yet. Let me tell you something about our Steka, Jean. When our Steka started to fall into such a situation, something happened."

Gene stood up and took out the wine, Shakira nodded, and there were only two people left in the control room. Tang Rao and Werther planned to continue their research, while Gu Yi planned to analyze the scraps of the United States.

"We might have had a chance to change all of this."

"What happened?"

Shakira smiled helplessly.

"This is the story told to us by our chief, the man who witnessed everything about Steka."

After Shakira took a sip of wine, her body did not react in any way. This was not the first time she drank. She had tried various foods and wines in human society before. These things could be provided to Stika. energy required by the body.

Shakira began to speak.

The leader of the once-cursed Steka was a member of the Empire's regular army, and he was also a very high-ranking Steka. He personally participated in the war between the Empire and the United States.

The war was not one-sided at the beginning, but Steka had the upper hand, because Steka's ability to adapt to harsh environments was much better than that of humans, so when fighting in such a wilderness, humans were passive, as long as their machinery If the equipment is damaged, humans will definitely die if exposed to that environment.

Therefore, not long after the war started, the Stekas discovered this weakness of mankind and no longer started large-scale attacks, but began small-scale harassment operations.

The Stekas had only one goal in fighting humans at that time, which was to destroy the shells of human machines and expose humans to the air.

This fighting method allowed Steka to win a brief victory. Then the emperor of the empire planned to invade the border with a large army. Humanity used weapons of mass destruction to stop Steka's advance, but it could only delay it.

In the end, the humans who took the lead in provoking the war began to negotiate with the Stekas. The humans gave the Stekas more abundant food, and finally the Stekas announced that they would live in peace with humans.

"It was against this background that gradually the upper-class Steka began to like some things in human society, and visited human society frequently."

"This is true in every world."

Gene roughly understood that it was the corruption at the top that gave humans the opportunity to find Steka's weaknesses. Shakira nodded and continued talking.

"We in Steka were reduced to groveling in the end, and it was from this point on that the seeds of trouble were laid."

After that, many of Steka's top officials even moved to the outskirts of the United States, and the United States also built palaces for them, which made most Steka feel that humans were pretty good.

But at that time, there was a group of militants in Stika society. They felt that humans were just stalling for time, and they would definitely find a way to launch another attack, because they felt that humans were cunning and cruel.

Human infiltration had already reached Steka's center of power silently, so the main war faction was quickly suppressed.

At that time, the leader of the black-eyed Steka was a member of the warring faction. The warring faction lost its status in the center of power, and this Steka could only serve under some nobles.

It was during this assignment that Steka discovered the clues when he was assigned to escort some goods to human society.

It was originally just some simple animal bones and carapace, but an accident occurred during transportation. Human robbers targeted the goods. After a fierce battle between the two sides, after the human robbers were repelled, the goods were scattered all over the place due to the attack.

This Steka was extremely shocked at the time. Among these goods, there were many living and dead Stekas with monochromatic eyes, including some young Stekas.

The Steka became angry instantly. He let the living Steka go. Then he thought about the disappearance of Steka in many places in the country, so he still went to the place of delivery.

This Steka became angry and directly killed most of the humans. He also learned from a human that this transaction had been going on for many years, and the Steka that was traded was used for research.

The Steka returned home immediately, and did not go back to the nobles. Instead, he went directly to the royal capital, intending to skip everything and tell the emperor about the incident.

But the power of this Steka was very weak at the time, and he was caught before he could see the emperor. Soon it turned out that he was having an affair with humans and seeking benefits from the nobles.

Such injustice caused Steka to suffer a lot after his arrest. In prison, he told people every day that humans were studying them, and that one day when human research was successful, it would be the end of Steka.

Such words eventually reached the ears of the emperor, who then reacted and ordered a thorough investigation, but it was too late.

Humans had already learned everything about Stka, and this Stka was released. This time he met the emperor and told the emperor directly not to confront humans head-on, as humans must have known how to deal with them.

However, the emperor did not listen to Stka's advice and assembled his army, intending to give humans a heavy blow. However, it was Stka who was severely hit, and those high-level Stka were also wiped out in front of the weapons developed by humans to deal with Stka.

The entire Stka Empire collapsed overnight, but humans did not intend to exterminate Stka, but put forward a condition that Stka would give them a certain number of Stka every year, otherwise they would be destroyed.

In the end, the emperor came up with a solution, and the cursed Stka appeared. All Stka with black pupils became slaves. They became the bottom of the entire Stka society. After being forced to work as slaves, they would be sent to humans.

And this Sterka, who discovered everything but ultimately could not prevent the tragedy from happening, eventually left the power center of the empire and began to rescue those cursed Sterkas, uniting them and planning to resist such an unfair empire.

Such resistance lasted for many years, and a lot of chaos began to appear within the Sterka Empire. The empire also hoped many times that humans would take action to destroy this resistance force, but humans chose to sit back and do nothing, because they could gain more benefits from such a chaotic situation.

"How old were you at the time?"

Shakira smiled.

"I was rescued on the way to the human city. My parents concealed my existence, and many people in the village concealed the existence of the cursed Sterka in their family, but in the end we were discovered."

Shakira's eyes were filled with desolation.

"Our anger and humiliation have lasted for so long, but those Sterkas above still don't care about anything. It's strange, right, Gene."

Gene smiled and said.

"As long as there is a steady stream of lower-level people born, the upper level will not collapse, and they can still rest easy."

After Gene finished speaking, Shakira sighed.

"A while ago, we found an opportunity and could have dealt a heavy blow to human society in one fell swoop, but the Empire chose to attack us from behind. In the end, under the dual pressure of humans and the Empire, we failed, and he died."

Shakira's eyes were sad, but she didn't cry, because tears were the most precious thing for them, the Stka.

Gene smiled and nodded.

"It's okay, everything is over, at least now you have crossed the ocean with most of the Stka."

Shakira stared at Gene and asked seriously.

"What are you going to do in the United States, Gene?"

Gene scratched his head, and he smiled after lighting a cigarette.

"If one day, the United States becomes a threat to Brilliant City, then I will destroy this country without hesitation."

Shakira looked at Gene in shock.

"I have done this many times, and I am good at dealing with threats."

Shakira smiled.

"I hope it will become a threat to Brilliant City one day."

Gene smiled.

"Don't say that, Shakira. I won't attack others for no reason."

Shakira hummed.

"I know, Gene, but this country is too barbaric and they are particularly hypocritical."

Gene smiled and nodded.

"This country has been like this for a long time. It always puts on an arrogant attitude and always regards itself as the world's manager. Behind all this is capital."

Gene said, looking at Shakira who was a little sleepy.

"Go and rest, Shakira."

Shakira stood up and was about to leave, but she stopped and asked.

"Can I ask you a question, Gene?"

"If one day, our Stka becomes a threat to Brilliant City, what will you do?"

Gene looked at Shakira and asked.

"You should ask the current powerful people in Brilliant City about this matter. I am no longer the powerful person in Brilliant City. They will give you the answer. Of course, I don't want this to happen."

Shakira laughed.

"You are really interesting, Gene. I always feel that in the future, maybe we will not stand on the same side."

"Why do you think so?"

Shakira shook her head.

"I can't explain this feeling, but I'm a perceptive Stka. I can feel a lot of things, just like foreknowledge."

"Another foreknowledge?"

Gene looked at the vast wilderness in the distance. They had already arrived at the plains. Not far away, they could see a long river. The place where the river flows into the sea is where the dragon lighthouse is located.

Shakira has not left yet, but returned to Gene.

"What's wrong? Any questions?"

Shakira nodded.

"Gene, didn't you say before that you don't plan to return to Brilliant City? Then where will you go after you understand this world clearly?"

Gene laughed.

"I don't know either, but one thing is for sure, I will stand outside the light and look at the light."

"It's a strange answer, Gene. I'm going to rest."

Shakira left, and Gene was the only one left in the control room. He took a drink, drank it, and lit a cigarette. In such a lonely night, Gene no longer knew which one it was. It had never been like this a long time ago. At night, Jean could only look down at the darkness and fall into deep thought alone.

Everything in the world seems to have lost any appeal in Jean's eyes. Jean knows very well that he is losing vitality and vitality. There is no big goal in front of him, and there is nothing to look forward to.

All of this may be related to everything that has happened in the past three hundred years. Now Gene just wants to continue thinking about what he is going to do and what is his own answer. Now besides responsibility, Gene has nothing to keep him going. forward things.

At this moment, Jean felt something strange. When he saw himself in the mirror, the black flame lines on his cheeks reappeared. Jean began to calm down and the flame lines began to dissipate.

"what on earth is it?"

Gene was a little worried now. He looked at his reflection on the glass worriedly. At this time, the door of the room opened and Tang Rao walked in.

"Looking at your dull look, what happened? Did Shakira ask something strange?"

Tang Rao took the wine and took a big sip, then sat down comfortably.

"The current research is going quite well. We have extracted some things from the crystals that are different from biological substances. They are worth studying. Don't you go and take a look?"

Gene shook his head.

"You can just do your research. I have been away from research for many years. I won't read it anymore."

Tang Rao slapped Gene.

"You bastard, you used to be a scientist after all, and you must be passionate about science."

Gene laughed.

"You think too highly of me at this point. You should know why I became a scientist. I just wanted to bring Ellie back to life. Other than that, I have no interest in science at all. I only teach so that someone in the city can take over." ”

Tang Rao sighed and said.

"Have you never thought about yourself? Do something for yourself?"

Gene scratched his head.

"It seems I haven't really thought about it."

"You can't go on like this. We don't know how many years we have to go in the future. It may be forever. You have to think about something for yourself, otherwise we will be bored to death in the future."

Gene stood up and said.

"Thank you for the reminder. Just watch for a while and I'll go out for a walk."

After Jean stood up, Tang Rao looked at Jean's back. It had not changed after so many years, and he was lonely and lonely.
