Chapter 3104 A Little Revenge


    The next picture in Li Yao’s field of vision was back to the starships in the Thousand Treasures Sea. The Chairman of the Earth Council, the saviors and the destroyers of the earth civilization, was still lurking in the darkness, watching the brutal scenes of ughter on dozens of starships on theputer screens while he poured himself a ss of wine. He held the ss in midair and did not move for a long time, before he slowly poured the wine that was as red as blood on the ground.


    Right now, Li Yao could see that the destruction of the other starships and the ughter of the passengers were all part of Wan Zanghai’s scheme.


    “Wan Zanghai is so brutal!”


    Li Yao found it hard to believe. “What—what is he trying to do?”


    “Isn’t it obvious?”


    The voice said, “ording to the era of Earth, even after the third world war, the super battles, and the meteoroid attacks, the migration fleet fled from Earth in the ’22nd century’. “You have detailed data on the technological level and the resource reserves of the twenty-first century. Do you really think that, in the twenty-second century, it is possible to transport 500 million people to the unknown depths of the sea of stars thousands of lightyears away in search of hope?


    “It’s—it’s impossible. It’s one thing to transport 500 million people out of the sr system, but it’s another thing to pass through the vacuum of the universe, which is deste, barren, and dead, through radiation, meteoroids, and space turbulences, and travel in the darkness for tens of thousands of years. The difficulty of thetter is hundreds of times higher!


    “Even though 99% of the people are in the hibernation state and barely consume any energy, it has be an astronomical figure after tens of thousands of years of umtion. The hibernation drugs have to be reced every once in a while, and the consumption of high-nutrition liquids can’t be stopped for even one day. Also, the daily wear and tear of the starships can’t be stopped for more than twenty lightyears without backup food, fuel, andponents, let alone the source of the meteoroid shower.


    “In fact, ording to the most optimistic estimation of the secret research team of the Thousand Treasures Sea, in order to cruise in the sea of stars at 1% the speed of light for more than ten thousand years and ensure that 90% of the hibernating passengers can be revived in a healthy and rational state, an immigration starship will need to carry at least ten times the amount of spare fuel, resources, and maintenance parts. In other words, five hundred starships will need to carry at least five thousand supplies, or fifty starships will need to carry five hundred supplies, or the capacity of each starship should be reduced by ten times, not a million people but a hundred thousand.


    “Only in such a way can we possibly find a glimmer that can save our civilization in the deepest part of the dark universe. Do you... understand?”


    “You mean—”


    Li Yao’s soul waves were almost frozen. His voice was even colder than the wind in the deepest level of hell. “Since the very beginning, the rich and powerful have been deceiving all the citizens, and the Hidden Sea has been deceiving all the rich and powerful. Of the three billion people on Earth, 500 million will not be saved, but 90% will be saved.


    “Of the three billion people, only fifty million can be saved!”


    “Yes.”


    His voice remained unchanged as he said, “However, such a conclusion is too pessimistic. It might even lead to the suspension of the entire n to march into the universe, because there are far more than fifty million nobles, magnates, their families, and the elite scientists and engineers who built the starship.


    “The rich and powerful escort the projects, the rich and powerful provide funding for the projects, and the scientists and engineers solve the practical problems of the escape n. It’s impossible to stop them from boarding the starships. If Wan Zanghai had told them that only 50 million people could leave, I’m afraid that all the rich and powerful would’ve fought each other to the death or even hugged each other’s thighs. They would rather perish together than see a lucky guy leave the Sr System openly. This is the evil of human nature.


    “Therefore, Wan Canghai only coerced and coerced the elite scientists and the engineers at the behest of the rich and powerful. Even if he slightly changed the content of his threat, would it matter?


    “Understood. Everybody has been fooled by Wan Canghai.”


    Li Yao smiled bitterly. “The rich and powerful thought that Wan Zanghai was just their puppet and theirckey and that they were the protagonists of the escape n. They didn’t know that, in Wan Zanghai’s eyes, their starships were nothing but ‘transfusion bags’, ‘tool bags’, and ‘resource storage boxes’. When the birds are gone, the bows are hidden; when the rabbits are killed, the dogs are cooked. When the migration fleet fled from the sr system, Wan Zanghai was supposed to be exploited and kicked away by the rich and powerful. But he made the first move and ‘cook’ the rich and powerful all at once. What a smart n! What a smart move!” “The rich and powerful are all parasites bred by the old system. They can only exploit the weaker people with the rules, but they do not have the capability to face the vast and unknown sea of stars and make their own rules. They do not have the courage to explore, explore, and conquer, either. Therefore, it is impossible for them to be the real leaders andplete the sublimation from the ‘Earth civilization’ to the ‘Primeval civilization’. Only the iron-willed experts such as Wan Zanghai can do that.


    The voice continued, “Besides, it was for the revenge of the billions ofpatriots who died miserably on Earth. It must be noted that most of the soldiers in the Thousand Treasures Sea were radiationers, modified people, and superhumans. They were the descendants of the civilians who used to live miserable lives on the wastnd. Many of their family members had been abandoned on Earth and burnt to ashes by the sr storm. They died without a grave. “Right now, there is fury flowing in the pores of the ghosts who are surrounded by their family. If they don’t raise their weapons at the culprits and let them have a taste of ‘blood for blood’, what are they waiting for? “Revenge?”


    Li Yao couldn’t help butugh. “Wasn’t it all done by Wan Zanghai? Maybe he was not the real schemer, but he was the most loyalckey for the nobles and the rich. Many sordid ns were carried out by him, and he was shameless enough to talk about ‘revenge?


    “Only a hundred times more despicable and shameless can be dealt with. The purpose of the Thousand Treasures Sea is to cleanse the civilization and create apletely different era for our civilization. He has no other options except to walk on this dirty and rugged path.


    The voice said, “If he doesn’t serve as a puppet or ackey for the rich and powerful, he won’t be able to be the Chairman of the Earth Council at all. And after he bes the Chairman, if he shows the slightest bit of mercy and doubts the ns of the rich and powerful, then he will step down from the position at any moment. He might even be directly killed and reced with a second puppet. He will still have to carry out the will of the rich and powerful. Besides demonstrating his integrity, what benefits can he get?


    “Faced with reality and analyzed calmly, of the three billion Earthlings at that time, at least 2.95 billion were doomed and could not be saved. As an excellentmander-in-chief, he should not waste his time thinking about how to save the people who were destined to die, but how to make their sacrifices more valuable.


    “Wan Zanghai was an excellentmander-in-chief and the best leader that a civilization could meet in a crisis. He did not disappoint his billions ofpatriots and made the best use of their deaths.


    “The nobles and magnates who were too fat to adapt to the new era were all swept away. The survivors were all iron-blood warriors who were strong, determined, and possessed all kinds of special abilities. After countless rounds of screening and elimination, they all had the best genes and were naturally sensitive to spiritual energy. They were out-and-out supermen.


    “In the meantime, after eliminating 90% of the users of the inferior genes who were not qualified to participate in the great march, the remaining 10% of the survivors would have ten times the resources. Even though a starship was worn and broken during the long journey, nineponents of the starship could be reced, which significantly improved the odds of finding new hope. “The most important thing is that nobody is allowed to ride on Wan Canghai’s neck, talk to him imposingly, ande up with bad ideas. Some of them even stab him in the back and drag him down. Wan Canghai’s will can be carried out to every nerve ending of the entire migration fleet. It is of paramount importance for the people who have just experienced the destruction of their mother and are living in anxiety in the dark sea of stars.


    Li Yao truly didn’t know how toment on the actions of the Myriad Treasury Sea.


    It was just like how he found it hard to judge Xiao Xuance, Lu Zui, Wu Yingqi, and the rest of them based on their actions.


    “Of course, other than ‘purification’ and ‘improvement’ for the civilization as a whole, the ‘ughter of the Outer Sr System’ has another small, insignificant purpose. It is the revenge of Wan Zanghai himself, isn’t it?


    The voice said, “This is a story recorded in Wan Canghai’s will a long, long timeter about his birth.


    “Before the suicide note was released, everybody thought that Wan Zanghai was born in a rich family in an underground shelter. His parents were elegant and elegant people of the high society. No matter how polluted and dirty the ground was, they were able to maintain a decent life in the underground and even let him receive a good education. Unfortunately, his parents died in an explosion in the shelter, and his family declined.


    “It was because of his identity as a descendant of the high society that he entered the circle of the rich and powerful and became their spokesperson.


    “However, in the will, Wan Zanghai admitted frankly that he was not a member of the ‘high society’ at all, or rather, he was not the real ‘Wan Zanghai’, but a radiationer who grew up in the heavily polluted wastnd, grew up in the smoke, rust, and sand, and even had his own mutation.


    “His parents were not elegant, gentle, or decent people. On the contrary, they were weeds, ants, and cockroaches. They were the ‘pariahs’ who struggled to survive in the wastnd and died miserably in the mouths of the radiation disease and the mutant beasts.


    “He was involved in the big explosion of the underground shelter by ident. He met a lot of people from the high society who had escaped from the shelter. He killed a young man named ‘Wan Zanghai’ who looked simr to himself and assumed the identity of the young man. That was how he got the ticket to the high society.


    “Therefore, the massacre in the periphery of the sr system is his revenge for his parents, for the wastnd where he grew up, and for the ants, cockroaches, weeds, and ‘pariahs’ who are suffering from radiation, virus, tumor, and animal bites in hell, struggling in desperation, and being silently obliterated, right?
