Chapter 255 (2/2)

Vivian said, “She’s running in circles outside. You just can’t keep that husky in after the sun rises. It’s simply impractical.”

Hao Ren was still in a daze. He looked at Hilda and Vimm, then said, “How big of a meeting would you have to hold if your entire race is migrating?”

Hilda and Vimm were dumbstruck. “What?”

“Haven’t you told them?” Hao Ren stared at Vivian, then knocked himself on the head. “I’m sleep-drunk. Get me some ice.”

With a swing of her arm, Vivian summoned a pile of snowflakes and smacked it into Hao Ren’s face. “Why would you want to wear yourself out yesterday when you could’ve gone to sleep early? You’re not going to beat the epigenetic clock of a Blood Clan member, I tell you. Yeah, I didn’t tell them. It’s better to leave it to you.”

Hao Ren did not expect the mini snowstorm to take effect that fast. His alertness level almost went through the roof. With his eyes wide-opened, he looked at Hilda who was still confused. “I’m awake now. You should call everyone—the elders, the people’s representatives, anyone who’s in-charge of something in Aerym—for a meeting. I’ve talked to my superior and a few others yesterday; I’ve decided to solve your problem of resource depletion once and for all.”

Hilda’s eyes opened wider and wider as her breathing accelerated. “The solution is?

“I need you to tell me: are you willing to do anything for the sake of Aerym’s survival?” Hao Ren raised his finger and continued, “Our side has agreed, but I still need to hear from you and receive your nod, or else everything I’ve done earlier will be for naught.”

Vimm was still cautious towards these strangers. He became anxious after what he heard. “Do anything?”

“Leave everything behind. You can only bring your technology together with some basic equipment and migrate en masse to a new world—a world that’s rich in resources yet raw ecologically. You will have to start from scratch; you may experience technological backwardness for hundreds of years; a part of your population may die because of diseases and environmental changes; you’ll need to pay a high social price to redevelop your industry and supply chain, but you’re going to get what you’ve been dreaming all along—abundant resources, close proximity to Proxima Centauri and its planetary systems, blue sky and open land.”

Y’zaks could not help but to nudge Hao Ren. “Why I do have this feeling that you sound like conmen in my hometown?”

Hao Ren smiled slyly. “Have you ever heard of Anly?”

Y’zaks was speechless.

“If I were to send them to your hometown, no amount of scam-awareness phamplets printed by the church would be enough.”

While Vimm was clueless, Hilda had figured it out. “You mean, you are going to give us—”

“To find a habitable planet with a suitable ecosystem in such a short time is not easy.” Hao Ren smiled as he looked at Hilda. “However, I happen to know the existence of a pretty good planet. Also, I happen to know a long-distance transport guy. He can summon a fleet big enough to move one billion immigrants.”

Hilda and Vimm’s faces were like, O-O!!

Never have they heard of such generousity in their life!
