Chapter 509 (2/2)
”Strict class system.” Starley commented, taking another sip. Shaking the already floating wine bottle, starry began to regret that he had brought too little wine. However, mobistone's exotic wine, starry, could not be used to explain his slander. As a result, with less and less wine to drink, Stanley only took a sip of it almost every day. He was as careful as a miser.
Putting down the bottle, Starley said casually, ”the guy behind us seems to have disappeared two days ago. It's strange. Who are they?”
Zero opened his hand and said, ”I'm curious about that, too. Anyway, we have to be careful. ”
”I can't be careless. Before we get to the green capital, Ryan is missing. I always feel that this task is not so simple. And... ”Starley said faintly:” you have a strange attitude towards those fishmen. How to say, it always feels like you treat them as friends, not enemies. ”
Starley is not a fool, in fact, can become a high-level people are not mediocre. Knowing that he had already felt something wrong, zero asked, ”do you think all alien life except human beings should be our enemies?”
”Of course not. I'm not a racist. But I know where I stand, and you. Zero, your line seems to be a little blurred, which is not a good thing. ” Starley said slowly.
”If I believe these people are here for peace, Starley, what do you think?”
Now that starry has begun to doubt, zero feels it necessary to test his bottom line to decide how to deal with the next thing.
Listen to zero say so, Starley is a Leng at first, then says with a smile: ”won't you, brother, do you really plan to be a peace messenger? I said at the fair, you or I. We don't have the power to push the situation. Either adapt to the whole situation, or drown in the tide. ”
Zero silent down, he looked up at the sky covered by radiation clouds, slowly said: ”Starley, maybe you will laugh at me. But I have imagined more than once that if we and other higher life have enough living space, whether human beings can live in peace with them. The end of the old era means that human beings are no longer the only intelligent life. Maybe we should admit that this planet does not belong to us alone. Alien, animal and other life also have the right to survive. Why should we exploit all this? ”
”You're right, but it's all hypothetical. The fact is that the planet is dying, and its living space and resources are shrinking. Therefore, war is inevitable. ” Stanley sighed.
Then you tell me, what is the meaning of the war in the West tundra? You've seen it these days. What's here? Barren mountains? The primeval forest or the radiant snow everywhere? I can't see the meaning, you know, brother. Even if we lay down the whole tundra, is it suitable for human survival? Since this land is so barren, why do we have to carry out the western expedition? ”
A series of questions left Stanley speechless. After a while, he said, ”we are just soldiers. These problems should be solved by those big people. God knows what they are thinking.”
”Well, let's not talk about that.” Zero seriously said: ”suppose, suppose there is an opportunity for all life on this planet to have enough living space. Starley, how would you choose. Is it to destroy it and maintain the pattern of the times, or can we fight to protect it, even against former comrades in arms or superiors? ”It was another difficult question for Stanley to answer. After a moment of silence, the forthright man said with a bitter smile, ”I don't know how to answer you, because what you said is just a hypothesis. But zero, how can you ask such a question? Do you see such an opportunity? ”
”It's not clear yet. I only know that there will be an answer after this trip to Georgia.”
”Yes? What would you do if it was you? Well, I'm stupid. Since you have the idea that all life can coexist, you must come forward to protect this opportunity. It's a dangerous decision, but I have to admire your courage. ” Starley raised the bottle. ”I'm going to have to have another damn drink for your courage.”
Zero looked at him and carefully drank a mouthful of liquor, suddenly some laughing and crying. Tonight, zero did not shake out the whole truth, because without evidence, Stanley would not believe that the war was in fact just a tool used by Tyr. But it's not nothing. At least Stanley thinks about the hypothesis put forward by zero seriously and doesn't destroy it.
As starry said, zero is just a hypothesis. When the hypothesis becomes true, zero believes that starry will make the right choice.
Footsteps interrupted zero's thoughts, but adimili, who had finished dinner, came to their two captains. Adimili sat down next to them and said in exotic human language, ”there's something I need to discuss with you two. It's about our journey tomorrow.”
”There are two ways to come here. One is a tunnel left over from the old age down the tulash mountain, which crosses the whole mountain range, but on the way, we will pass a human base of the old age. The name of that base is very strange. It's named after the white blood cells in the human body. But that's not the point. The important thing is that the base has now become a paradise for the dead. We prefer to call it the hall of the dead. ”
Hear ”white blood cell” three words, zero heart move. In the previous base, also known as white blood cells, the information obtained from zero shows that there was more than one experimental base established for the cloning project in the old era, and they were all named ”white blood cells”. So in adimili's so-called Hall of the dead, is there any information about the clone program? Even, where is the collection of Quaternary super life?
Whatever the possibility, zero felt it was necessary to go to the hall of the dead.
