Chapter 282 Wu Family Tragedy
"In the novel, the loss rate of the second apocalyptic purge is 20 percent." Mai Dongzi said, his eyes still fixed on the King of Gujia on the image.
"This is a huge difference." said Zhuang Yuelan.
"The reality has changed a lot, the actual depreciation rate should not be that high." Mai Dongzi said.
The general said that the loss rate of the army was normal. The army was responsible for ensuring the stability of a country, although it could not prevent the invasion of the Goyans and the occurrence of the apocalypse.
It still has the function of reassuring people. If people knew that many soldiers also died, they would become even more panicked.
After all, in the eyes of the public, the military is stronger than ordinary people. If the military's casualty rate is high, it means that the civilian casualty rate is even higher.
During King Guga's speech, he revealed a very important piece of information: those alien beastmen were the Goyas who invaded their Dagula galaxy.
King Gujia's speech was very short, and after the speech ended, the screen automatically switched to other scenes. Mai Dongzi was lost in thought, motionless.
"What's wrong with you? You look so nervous." Zhuang Yuelan asked.
"It's nothing. I don't know when Dad will be free to come back. Mom, you should have a good rest before practicing." Mai Dongzi said.
"I don't know what's going on with your brother. After the last purge, his biological father wanted him to go back." Zhuang Yuelan was a little worried.
Mai Zixuan's original family in this world is too troublesome. Fortunately, like Mai Dongzi, although he has past memories, he cannot empathize with them, so he does not need to fall into those painful entanglements.
"Don't worry, mom. He's not that stupid." Mai Dongzi is very confident in Mai Zixuan.
With Atom as his father, Mai Zixuan had no shortage of fatherly love, so why would he care about his biological father's hypocritical father-son relationship? As long as he didn't care, without the emotional barrier, it would be easy to deceive him.
After Zhuang Yuelan went to rest, Mai Dongzi's doubts could not be dispelled, so she went online.
There were only a few topics about the Second Great Purge on the Starnet forums, with a horribly low click-through rate, forming a stark contrast to the previous one.
The reaction of the Blue and Black Empire people to King Guga's speech was also indifferent.
These are all very bad signs, meaning that the death toll this time is too high, so high that almost every living person has lost a relative or close friend.
When one is too sad and depressed, he or she does not want to talk.
This is also the case in the novel, and Mai Dongzi estimates that this is also the case in reality.
Mai Dongzi woke up from a nap, but because he had something on his mind, he did not practice but went online again.
By this time everyone had returned to reality. Ten hours had passed. More people were on StarNet, and the tone of the forum was sad, but not too despairing.
This is because the Goyans' artillery is too terrible. Facts have proven that humans in the Dagura galaxy cannot stop it at all.
Now there is a platform for them to fight the Goyas with their own military strength, and many people in the Dagula galaxy are willing to do so. With a sense of justice in their hearts, they will not despair in such a predicament.
In response to King Guga's speech, everyone was relieved by the army's low damage rate, which showed that their army was very strong overall.
There is absolutely no content that Mai Dongzi wants to see.
Thinking back to the last time after the apocalypse, Prince Arthur had video chatted with her even when he didn't have time. But this time, he just sent a quick message to make sure she was okay, and then there was no more news.
Mai Dongzi thought about it and decided to send a message to Prince Arthur, with only one sentence: "How are you now?"
Prince Arthur took a full half hour to answer: "No, wait for me."
Mai Dongzi's eyes stayed on the word "not good" for a long time. He turned off the message and prepared to practice, but unexpectedly, Atom came back.
Atom looked unhappy and said to Mai Dongzi and Zhuang Yuelan, "Old Madam Wu and her third son are both gone. Let's go to the Wu family."
Madam Wu is Atom's biological mother and Mai Dongzi's grandmother.
No matter how cold their relationship with Madam Wu was before, after all, Patriarch Wu and the brothers Wu Youqi saved the lives of Atom and Zhuang Yuelan, so it was their duty to pay their respects.
It's past seven in the evening, just right for a private visit.
At this time Mai Zixuan also came back. His grandmother and Mrs. Wu were sisters. Now the Wu family also knew that Atom and his wife adopted Mai Zixuan as their godson, so it was reasonable for them to come together.
With the authorization of Prince Arthur, the Mai family members have the right to drive their private cars in and out of the capital city without applying. However, they are only one person, and they all ride in Atom's car.
Although the lights on the street were bright and looked the same as before, Mai Dongzi could feel the gloomy feeling of the approaching end.
In the novel, after the last apocalyptic purge, the advanced civilization simply and roughly divided the world into two major areas, one for the Goya people and the other for the people of the Dagula galaxy.
The people of the Blue-Black Empire were forced to go to the Imperial Star, because when they came out of the alien space, they were teleported to the designated life planet by the advanced civilization. The Imperial Star was divided by the advanced civilization to other countries in the Dagula galaxy.
Under such circumstances, the humans in the Dagula Galaxy cannot turn inward unless they all want to perish together.
Therefore, the people of the Blue-Black Empire quietly designated the Water Blue Planet as the new capital planet. Due to the serious loss of resources, the national strength of the Blue-Black Empire was once very weak.
In reality, after the Goyans arrived in the Dagula galaxy, Prince Arthur had people send most of the resources of the Imperial Capital Star to the Blue Water Star.
When the Mai family arrived at the Wu family, Wu Youqi's son Wu Yiding came out to greet them in person.
Mai Dongzi saw Wu Yiding calling Atom "uncle" and Atom and his wife did not object. It was obvious that the last time Atom and his wife came to the Wu family, they had been called that.
Wu Yiding greeted Mai Zixuan. He was familiar with the former Mai Zixuan, so it didn't make any difference that the relationship between the cousin became that of the cousin.
Finally, Wu Yiding said to Mai Dongzi, "The last time we met on the starship, I didn't know you were my cousin. Father knew the truth and gave you a gift, but he didn't tell me, so I didn't give you anything. I'm making up for it this time."
As Wu Yiding spoke, he gave a space device to Mai Dongzi and Mai Zixuan respectively. Mai Dongzi looked at his father and accepted it when he saw him nod.
Walking into the mourning hall, Mai Dongzi saw three figures in the mourning hall, in addition to Madam Wu and Wu Youshi, there was also a middle-aged woman.
Only Mrs. Wu's children were present in the mourning hall. There was genuine sorrow on each of their faces, both for themselves and for reasons unknown to them.
The head of the Wu family personally led the Mai family to perform the ceremony of worship, and then let them sit in the seats that had been prepared earlier.
