Bright words silenced the other two people in the room.
Zhen Po understood what she was saying, but he did understand. However, he knew the future, so how could he remain indifferent?
"Oh, this is too difficult for you."
Lu Xiaoyao sighed. She didn't know what to say about Zhen Po's "family affairs." Thinking about it, she picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
Nowadays, all sorts of strange and monstrous things are said on the internet, and the control of the internet has been completely lost. This is probably caused by space pirates and traitors from ancient Earth.
They watched the news broadcast together on TV. The news anchor also mentioned the news that had been making headlines online since morning about interstellar migration and genetic modification.
However, their tone and demeanor, which conveyed the message that "I've been kidnapped, but I can't blink, this is all I can say," only made the atmosphere even more tense.
"We don't know how people outside view this news, but at least I don't think many people in H country believe it," Mingmei said, taking Lu Xiaoyao's remote control and turning down the volume.
"One million first batch of migrant workers." Mingmei looked at the number in the news. "Seven hundred thousand more than those who survived in history. But that's the number from H country."
After saying this, Mingmei couldn't help but take a sip of a bottle of purified water and look away.
If you don't sign up, you're 100% doomed.
With registration, the survival rate is less than 30%.
You don't need to say it out loud; just think about it in your mind and you'll know how terrifying it is.
"But isn't our game character supposed to help more people survive?" Lu Xiaoyao asked, her face contorted with a tearful expression. "Can't we find a way to help more people survive?"
...
"Your solution is to suggest to the higher-ups that military personnel be included among those who signed up this time?"
After attending the secret mobilization meeting during the day, Hu Yue met Mu Chen at their agreed-upon meeting place that evening. She couldn't imagine how Mu Chen, a mere programmer, had achieved so much.
However, knowing the final historical outcome, Hu Yue felt that Mu Chen's suggestion was to abandon ordinary people.
"Their physical abilities are far superior to those of ordinary people. In order to sell the people they recruit to other places as slaves, genetic modification is essential for space pirates. But do you think the genetic modification in the hands of space pirates is the same as legitimate genetic modification?"
This period of history is several hundred years different from the interstellar world of today. Genetic modification was not nearly as convenient back then, let alone on such a large scale.
When Mu Chen asked a question, Hu Yue didn't know how to respond.
Mu Chen is right, genetic modification carries risks.
"Furthermore, if you enter and are successfully transformed, and then suddenly rebel, catching the Zerg off guard by a sudden attack on the space pirates, will you be able to seize the opportunity to save more ordinary people?"
“You…” Hu Yue was stunned. The plan she had overheard during the day was even more detailed and equally audacious than what Mu Chen was now verbally describing.
"You know how many people such a giant starship can carry, right?"
Mu Chen looked up at the metallic hue of the starship's base in the sky, then turned to Hu Yue: "Leaving aside the mechs and combat starships inside, how many of these giant starships does a legion have in total?"
Hu Yue opened her mouth, her breathing becoming rapid.
Their Sixth Legion only had three ships, two of which were stolen from space pirates. Logically speaking, a legion should only have one giant ship like this.
If we disregard the equipment, in a short period of time, the number of people inside could be at least 50 million!
"As long as we seize it..."
The Sixth Legion's ingrained talent for piracy instantly awakened in Hu Yue's body. Mu Chen looked at Hu Yue's excited expression, slowly nodded, and said nothing more.
His initial goal was to preserve his most elite forces.
If this elite force can survive and then save others, that would be even better. If they really can't resist, it would be good if the most elite group survived.
If he earns more than 300,000, then he's considered successful, right?
...
The next day, after the news broadcast the previous night, many ordinary people also joined the registration. Today, the wind and snow stopped, and Mingmei, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded coat and carrying a thermal bag, looked at the long line at the registration point and felt a little lost.
Didn't everyone say yesterday that anyone who went was a fool?
Coupled with the news anchors' over-the-top reporting, which sounded like their entire family had died, many people felt there was something wrong with the situation. So why are there still so many people at the registration points?
Among these people, the elderly seemed to make up a large portion, and Mingmei silently understood something in her heart...
"Little girl, move aside."
Mingmei's position was rather inconsiderate. You could say she was in line, but half of her body wasn't actually in the queue. You could also say she wasn't in line, but one foot was on the line.
The elderly man who had come to queue up behind her couldn't hold back any longer and coughed twice before finally asking Mingmei to move aside.
"Ah, I'm in line to register."
Mingmei snapped out of her daze, gave the old man behind her an apologetic smile, and took a step forward. However, the old man looked disapproving and said, "Why would a young person like you sign up for this?"
"You're so old, what are you doing here signing up?"
Mingmei's question wasn't just directed at him; with so many elderly people around, everyone looked at her as soon as she spoke.
"Come and broaden your horizons! You're practically half-buried here, never seen aliens, never been to outer space, you have to see them!" The old man was stubborn, and upon hearing this, he glared at Mingmei and waved his hand to make her leave. "Young people, don't join in the fun. Go home and go to work or rest."
