"First of all, the space pirates have been wiped out. Not to mention those below, even those who survived are all eager to go back. How can we persuade them to send people up?"

"Then, let's say we accidentally learned about the Zerg from the space pirates, and that the space pirates couldn't defeat them, so they wanted to make a quick buck and run away. What we want to do now is take some people with us who can preserve the bloodline of the ancient Blue Star?"

"Is this real? The Zerg, what are they?"

Suddenly, the questioning voice reached everyone's ears, and only then did they realize that there was actually a group of NPCs in their party.

Those military and police NPCs who risked their lives to protect ordinary people and fight to the death against space pirates.

If they had only heard Lu Xiaoyao and the others talk about the Zerg and that more people were undergoing genetic modification once, they might not have felt anything, but after hearing it so many times, they started to feel uneasy.

"Has everyone's crisis not been resolved yet?"

When asked this question by the NPC, they actually felt a little guilty, including Hu Yue.

They never mentioned that the Zerg would completely destroy Ancient Blue Star. Everyone, all the NPCs who fought alongside them and gave their lives for it, believed that as long as they defeated these aliens and the space pirates, Ancient Blue Star would have a bright new future.

The technology obtained from the starship can be used to develop the ancient planet Blue Star. Just now, some NPCs in the slave quarters noticed that the water inside was pure, and they even wondered if this technology could be taken with them.

As it turned out, the information they heard about the Zerg at this point seemed to be just the beginning of a nightmare.

It seems they can't go back.

Not only can they not go back, but judging from their discussion just now, it seems that they also want to try their best to select those who can withstand genetic modification to come up, and to let as many people as possible survive the genetic modification with limited drugs.

"So, you want to pass on the decision to your leaders so they can't bear to do it themselves, instead of discarding the majority and selecting a small number of 'elites'?"

Faced with the NPC's questions, the players turned away guiltily, none of them wanting to answer them.

"When did you find it? At the beginning, or something...?"

"We knew from the beginning."

Before the NPC could finish asking his question, Mu Chen suddenly said something that made everyone, including Mingmei and the others, look at him in astonishment.

Why is he like this?

How would you explain saying that?

Mingmei couldn't imagine how Mu Chen would explain it.

"We come from the future."

Mu Chen's next sentence stunned everyone, including the players.

Holy crap!

Zhen Po was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Ah, is this something I can say?

What's the story going on?

"Are you kidding me?"

Faced with the other party's disbelief, Mu Chen merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a certain captivating light in his eyes made even the brightest woman seem bewitching.

She only heard Mu Chen say, "Otherwise, why do you think I, as just an ordinary technician, can participate in your plans, and why I'm the one who selects most of the people going on the starship?"

"Why is it that I'm just an ordinary technician, yet I'm more skilled than all of you?"

"How could he know the location and function of all the parts of the starship, and even hack into the space pirates' control system for their robots? And how could he still operate and pilot the starship after all the space pirates were dead?"

Mu Chen pointed to the people around him as he spoke, ignoring their averted glances, and continued:

"Don't you think many of your companions are familiar with the wiring of this starship? When fighting robots, they can pinpoint their weaknesses instantly. Can you do that?"

If Mu Chen hadn't said anything, that would have been fine, but now that he had, the NPCs could ignore it like a bug, but now they couldn't ignore it anymore.

"So what? So you say you come from the future, the future... Earth will..."

"Back then, we called this place 'Ancient Blue Star'." Mu Chen casually delivered a critical hit to the NPC. "Ancient Blue Star has long since become history, and it will forever remain in history. The Zerg invasion destroyed all life on Ancient Blue Star, and only a group of Ancient Blue Star people who were captured by space pirates survived."

How could that be?

As if they believed Mu Chen's words, the NPCs were completely devastated. The NPC who had just questioned them spoke again with difficulty: "So, you've come back to save Blue Star, right? Since you come from the future, you must have a way to stop this disaster!"

"No, we can't. History won't be completely changed just because we come back. We can only change the fate of some people and make the refugees of Ancient Blue Star live better lives in the end."

The word "refugee" made the NPCs even paler; they certainly understood what a refugee was.

Homeless and penniless people.

Even if those who survive, will they still live a very difficult life?

"At the beginning, everyone was really struggling. They lacked everything: knowledge, talent, and all the skills to start from scratch..."

Mu Chen's tone was desolate, and even some players' expressions dimmed upon hearing it.

Was it really this difficult for Hualan Star at the beginning?

"The space pirates of that time were powerless against the Zerg, and so were we. So all we can do upon returning is to rescue and take as many people as possible before the Zerg arrive."
