Chapter 312 Cocoon

"The starry sky is still vast, and we cannot stop here."

What finally made the decision was the simplest motivation that came from the beginning of civilization.

How was the earth formed? What is the rotation pattern of the sun, moon and stars? Are there other lives like them outside the sky?

When life looks up to the stars for the first time, that curiosity about the unknown becomes an unquenchable driving force for civilization as a whole.

Even in the darkest times, there will always be people who will work hard with expectations for the future until the last moment. Even if things don't work out, they can still say with true heart: "We have no regrets."

"There are still many things that we have not yet understood, and we have not yet seen the origin and end of the universe. Fighting out of the cold era has not made us forget the original motivation."

"Although we personally terminated countless former companions, their history and their memories have not been lost, but have become part of us,"

"Genes have memories, and souls also have weight. We are not moving forward alone, the past of 460 civilizations are traveling with us."

"So, now... it's far from time to stop."

The leader of "Chasing the Light" spoke his thoughts calmly.

Since the "Fire Chaser" thought that he only needed to ask one person's opinion, he had no hesitation in doing so.

Life has two sides, whether it is positive or negative, it is a part of life. He was once desperate, but now he yearns for the light more.

Not everyone is born noble, nor is everyone born despicable. Conflicting personalities and emotions can coexist at the same time, and only then can the epic of life be written.

They have all come this far from the cruel fighting of civilization, and there is absolutely no reason to stop here. Even if the ending is dark, they have to see it with their own eyes.

The observation deck fell into silence once again.

In an environment where there is almost no air convection due to the failure of the life support device, there seems to be wind noise.

The translucent plant was swaying slightly, but the liquid flow in the veins was much slower, just like a person gradually becoming calm from a high emotion, and this seems to be the current feeling of the "Fire Chaser".

The fluorescence of the plant itself still illuminates this place, but it is a little brighter than before, illuminating the figures of the "Light Chaser" leader and the "Fire Chaser".

The "Fire Chaser" also smiled suddenly after a long silence, and the previous depressed atmosphere was swept away. Even the "forged" body seemed to be glowing, dispelling all the gloom.

"...Very good, this is the right way. Life is a process of constant struggle. Only by working hard can we not fall behind on the road to civilization..."

He seemed to be sighing for something and walked back to the withered flower buds.

The vegetation on the entire home ship gradually trembled with his movements, and the translucent plant surface began to overflow with little brilliance, floating in the air like fireflies.

He just sat in the bud, looking at the leader of "Chasing the Light" not far away under the illumination of countless fluorescent lights, and said calmly:

"You are much better than us. The advancement of civilization is an overall matter, but if there is a strong leader at the forefront, many difficulties will be solved."

"It's a pity that we, who are still in the wind, can't give you much help, nor can we help you escape from here, but we believe that your road to civilization will not end here."

"Go back, your civilization still needs you, unite all the help you can find, and live towards death from this shrinking world."

More and more fluorescent light floated out from the covering plants, filling the entire sky and reflecting on the ground like a galaxy.

And those translucent plants gradually became opaque as the fluorescence overflowed, and at the same time they no longer trembled, as if they had got rid of the shackles of sin for tens of billions of years, and had obtained a sleep that would never wake up after a long absence.

The leader of "Chasing the Light" also understands that it is time for him to leave. He has already understood the causes of darkness, and now he needs to find the answer together with the people.

Looking at the "Fire Chaser" representative who looked exactly like them, he wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word in his peaceful demeanor.

He knew that this might be the last time they would meet the "Fire Chaser".

This civilization that brought birth and destruction at the same time should have died long ago. This encounter was just a mistake.

They are people who have passed away in the last era, but their journey of "chasing the light" is not over yet.

Finally, he turned around and disappeared into the tower.

The "Fire Chaser", who transformed into a "solar engineer", also looked at the sky filled with fireflies and wondered what he was thinking.

…

The leader of "Chasing the Light" once again appeared on the "Song of the Dawn" home ship, which also relieved the scientists who were looking for his traces.

Seeing him getting off the spacecraft alone, some people couldn't help but wonder where he went.

However, the leader did not say much about this. Instead, he immediately called back all the fleets sent to attack the "Fire Chaser" and stopped the attack.

At first everyone who knew about this did not understand the leader's purpose of doing this, but as he explained, everything gradually became clear.

However, what he didn't expect was that some people didn't believe everything he said.

"Absurd! Do you think we will believe this nonsense? Cold-bloodedness is the norm here. Isn't this a conspiracy of the 'Fire Chaser' to make us relax our vigilance?"

"Why are you the only one who was called? Why do you represent everyone? Shouldn't the highest power in civilization now be the parliament? Even if a decision needs to be made, it must be made by all of us!"

"Leader - No, I should call you 'Sir' now. I have reason to suspect that you are controlled by the genetic technology of the 'Fire Chaser'. I apply to start the legal review process, temporarily take back all your rights, and ask you to go to prison."

Take a walk here!”

After all, he was the only one who met with the "Fire Chaser" who didn't know whether it was true or not, or despite various abnormal situations that had occurred before, they still subconsciously regarded the "Fire Chaser" as their enemy, and their suspicions were reasonable.

The leader of "Chasing the Light" was also a little flustered for a while and hurriedly tried to prove himself.

But at this moment, the lights in the entire council room suddenly and inexplicably turned off, and on the large screen in the conference room, red characters with their words appeared one by one.

【What he said is true】

What changed with the appearance of this character was the security equipment in the conference room. A large number of non-lethal weapons hidden inside the building popped out and pointed directly at everyone in the conference room.

The scientists had no idea what was going on, but they could only be forced to believe this sentence under the lock of their weapons.

But when a few people realized what was going on, the scientists among them showed incredulous expressions, as if it was difficult to understand when and through what medium that civilization invaded them.

The leader of "Chasing the Light" also thought about whose handiwork this was, and then looked at the big screen gratefully.

The only two civilizations that can interfere with them now are the "Fire Chasers" and the "Guardians", and the current state of the "Fire Chasers" is obviously no longer able to do such a thing, so who did it?

And metaphor.

The opposition leaders in the parliament have been too lazy to explain more. Their most important issue now is how to escape the "hunting" of the universe.

He originally thought that the "shrinking world" was a cosmic phenomenon they encountered here, but he already knew from the "Fire Chaser" that this was indeed a cosmic phenomenon, but it was just targeted at them.

And the reason is already clear, it is a certain crucial gene in their body that is causing trouble, and they cannot even make any changes to that gene, because that would mean suicide.

Now he needs to brainstorm ways to solve this section of the gene. If they can remove this "mark", then this "shrinking world" may also be able to stop.

Finally, a certain biologist thought of something, and then said with some uncertainty:

"...According to the 'evolutionary theory' provided by the 'Guardian', some kind of creature similar to us will go through a 'complete metamorphosis' growth stage during its development..."

"Is this... a possibility?"
