Billions of years ago, in the outer solar system, there were vast stars. 181 years after the Earth's escape fleet set off, the flagship "New Hope" was on board.
Strikes, protests and riots have continued for ten full days.
The lights, which were originally extremely dim due to energy control, and under the influence of various circuit damage, flickered rapidly from time to time, emitting a strange red light, making the crowd gathered in the narrow cabin look even more angry and confused.
"Protest, protest, why have the authorities repeatedly cut our food and clean water rations?
Do they really want to starve us to death?"
"The environment on the ship is getting worse and worse.
We have to work in temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees Celsius every day.
This is not an escape, let alone a march towards a new hope.
This is a torture that is worse than death.
This is an indefinite life." death penalty!"
"In yesterday's explosion, three more workers lost their lives innocently.
What on earth are our wise and wise leaders and omniscient scientists doing?
Is the maintenance plan they formulated just to fill the hole with our lives?"
"Do they want us to die as often as possible?
The more we die, the more resources we can save for them to enjoy!"
"Where is Wan Zanghai?
We need to talk to Wan Zanghai.
Where is the hope he promised, where is heaven, and where is the new home?"
"Wan Zanghai, come out!
Wan Zanghai, come out!"
The striking crowd continued to stir and gradually gathered into a huge wave of turmoil, breaking through everything blocking the way and rushing towards the bridge.
It wasn't until they encountered the military police, an iron wall formed by Wan Zanghai's confidants, that they were slightly stopped.
However, in the face of the military police who were armed with live ammunition and expressionless, as cold as black statues, the protesters showed no sign of fear or retreat.
Hundreds of years of hard labor have worn away all their patience and fear of the laws.
Here are the vast stars and the unknown universe.
The road ahead is dark, and the way back has been cut off.
The glory, majesty and laws of the past are not worth mentioning here. , if they muster up the courage, they can tear up the iron coffins around them and die together with the military police and former "leaders" or even "gods" like Wan Zanghai.
"Citizens, citizens of the New Earth United Fleet, calm down, please stay calm."
Among the military police, a scarred man wearing black power armor and a sturdy back stood out.
He was really the major general commander of the military police force.
His name was "Tetsuo" and he was also Manzanghai's confidant.
He had been in Manzanghai for a long time.
When he fell into hibernation and extended his lifespan to the maximum extent, Tetsuo acted as Manzanghai's spokesperson, issuing orders and maintaining the basic operation of the escape fleet.
The appearance of Tiexiong calmed the protesting crowd slightly, allowing him to finish the second half of his words, "As we all know, we have just passed through an interstellar dust belt as sticky as a swamp.
Three immigrant starships collapsed and sank in the sand, and most of the rest The starships also suffered considerable losses and consumed a lot of money.
Amount of resources and energy - During this extraordinary period, it requires the concerted efforts of all citizens to tide over the difficulties.
I assure you that the reduction in food rations and energy supply is only temporary.
As long as we repair the synthetic food cycle production line, we can recover.
The supply of yesteryear!”
On weekdays, such a guarantee is enough to calm most people's turbulent hearts.
At least, when they encountered the aftermath of the last gamma ray burst and the last time they encountered a strange gravity trap, the crew was still willing to "share the difficulties" with the bridge team.
But this time, after hundreds of years of suffering, many people no longer believe in the bridge team's promise and the slim hope.
"When will these days end?"
In the turbulent crowd, someone shouted sadly.
"When Manzanghai took us out of the earth, we clearly said that we would find a new home soon - even if it is not a real habitable planet, we can still find a place similar to 'Mars' and establish a small settlement.

After all, There are only tens of millions of us left, and any planet can accommodate us!”
Someone again opened up old scores.
"Liars, you are all a bunch of liars.
Wan Zanghai is a liar, and you, Tetsuo, are also liars.
It is in vain that we believed in you in the past.
Where are you going to take us, the few remaining human beings?"
Some people also shook their angry fists at the gendarmerie.
Tiexiong and his gendarmerie just remained silent and remained indifferent even as the protesters shoved their fists under their noses.
Although the Military Police is the most powerful force on the "New Earth United Fleet", which is the hundreds of immigrant ships, with advanced power armor blessed by doomsday technology, it is more powerful than the "magnetic blast infantry" and "rocket pilots" of the past.
Better than that.
Even without the blessing of cutting-edge weapons, those who are qualified to join the military police are those who have been carefully selected to select one of the "capable people" and "modified people" who can compete with the main battle tanks of the past with their bare hands. but…… Not only the flagship, but similar protests and riots occurred on almost all immigrant starships.
Public opinion is like a torrent, which can set off a stormy sea at any time, swallowing up this barely cobbled-together, riddled with holes and no hope of escape fleet, even if A ruthless and ruthless iron-blooded strongman like "Tie Xiong" would not dare to throw sparks at a dried gunpowder barrel.
What's more, when they fled, nine out of ten ordinary people on the earth were abandoned, and in the "massacre of the outer solar system", most of the powerful and wealthy were slaughtered, and most of the remaining crew members were tens of thousands.
Zanghai's basic base, that is, "ability users", "modified people", and "genetic mutants", almost all have various superpowers, but the degree is different.
The ants killed the elephant, which really drove the crew to panic.
It was impossible to suppress the entire crew just by relying on the so-called "elite" of the gendarmerie.
Therefore, Tiexiong could only suppress the murderous intention in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Citizens, please don't forget the sacred mission you shoulder, don't forget that you are the only hope for the continuation of human civilization, believe in the authorities, believe in your Leader Wan Zanghai, continue the 'March of Suffering' for three to five years, seven to eight years at most, and everything will be fine, everything!"
"We don't believe it!"
"Stop your big lies, we've had enough!"
"There is no hope of moving forward.
We can only turn back and return to our homeland - the Earth!"
"Hundreds of years have passed.
No matter how strong the solar storm is, the impact should have disappeared.
Not to mention the wonderful power of meteorites.
Now the earth should be full of vitality again, right?"
"It doesn't matter even if we don't fully recover.
We only have tens of millions of people left, and with such advanced technology, we only need to return to the earth to find a small piece of habitat, enough to establish a settlement, and then slowly expand outward.
Rebuild the earth, and one day we will see the light of our beautiful home again!”
"That's right, back to Earth, back to Earth, we want to return to Earth!"
Deep in the crowd, a few gloomy and fanatical voices suddenly came from.
Tetsuo's pupils suddenly contracted.
Damn, it's a returnist.
He said why the riot was so loud and lasted for so long.
It turned out that the returnists were fanning the flames and even controlling it themselves!
Ordinary protesters can ignore it, but returnists are a virus that erodes the future of human civilization.
Once discovered, they must be killed immediately!
Tiexiong gestured behind him, and the military policeman's power armor immediately made a "buzzing" sound.
The crowd was in commotion, and the returning faction hidden at the end shouted at the top of their lungs: "No, they are going to take action, everyone, run away!"
The huge crowds, huge waves, flash bombs, smoke bombs, and homemade Molotov cocktails made by protesters or returnists instantly turned the scene into chaos. … An hour later, the secret room behind the bridge of the "New Hope".
It has a complete set of state-of-the-art hibernation facilities, as well as a supercomputer that controls the entire fleet.
It is the nominal commander-in-chief of the "New Earth United Fleet", the former chairman of the "Earth Council", and the spiritual leader of all fugitive humans - the small palace of Wan Zanghai.
Wan Zanghai is already very old.
Integrating the earth's twists and turns, facing the endless catastrophes of natural disasters, and the scheming and intrigues with the rich and powerful, including the bloody "massacre in the outer solar system", and several thrilling interstellar adventures afterward - these relationships are at every turn The incident that affected the lives of hundreds of millions of people seriously consumed his vitality and spiritual power, even though he and his mentor " Like "Yuri", he has cultivated the "power of heart" to the extreme, and has the dual maintenance of doomsday technology and hibernation technology.
He spends 90% of the time soaked in high-energy nutrient solution, but he still inevitably shows an extremely aging posture, and his face His face was covered with wrinkles and age spots were everywhere on his body.
Every breath he took took a long time to simmer, as if it was his last breath.

The clear and deep eyes in the past were gradually replaced by turbid suspicion.
The sequelae of excessive consumption of "heart power" have exploded in recent years.
He suffered from severe visual and auditory hallucinations.
In many cases, not only was he unable to deal with the intricate fleet, affairs, and even unable to control his own temper, just like countless promising and heroic leaders throughout the ages, who gradually turned into a comatose and cruel tyrant at the end of their lives.
When Tetsuo saluted Manzanghai respectfully, he could even faintly smell the aura of an old man coming from him.
It was a very strong smell that symbolized death and decay.
It was as if the seemingly frail old man in front of him had only his body left alive, while his internal organs and spirit had long since died and were slowly decaying.
Even the strong fragrance of the high-energy nutrient solution and hibernation potion in the hibernation warehouse cannot cover up this disgusting smell.
"He's old."
Tetsuo thought to himself.
Then I was startled by my own thoughts - no matter what, Manzanghai is the only spiritual symbol of the remaining human civilization and a living god.
How can a god grow old?
But after being startled, and looking at Manzanghai's slightly nervous expression, he felt that it was no big deal.
After all, he is not God, just a human being.
As a human being, we will grow old and die.
After death, he will give up his position.
