Earth Invasion

Chapter 53 Equivalent Exchange

"I grew up in the palace. I didn't hear much about the atrocities of the people on Earth. My father rarely let me know about these things. He felt that when I grew up, I became a puppet of the people on Earth and lived in a muddle. Life is a very happy thing. But when I was six years old, everything changed."

"Duke Durrochem, my uncle. His family has always insisted on resistance. When I was six years old, we launched a big riot against the slave trade of the earth."

"Well, I know." Zhang Mai nodded, "Our side calls it 'Bride Riot' or 'Bride Rebellion'. The reason is that the scum on our side robbed the wedding of a small country nobleman on your side. People. Then they were killed by the angry crowd. I don’t know how it developed later, I only know that it turned into a big riot that spread to the entire earth’s human activity zone..."

"I don't know much, and my father is unwilling to say more about the details. I only know that some people on the earth who sympathize with us have provided us with a lot of weapons, and some of you who just came to us When there were not many people on the planet, it was part of the weapons used to provoke the conflict between some of our nobles and emerging factory owners. The uprising crowd composed of farmers, craftsmen and some soldiers marched towards Twilight City, However, when we just arrived outside Twilight City, it rained fire from the sky..."

Low-orbit bombing... Zhang Mai murmured.There is this video on the Internet. Although the governments of various countries have been deleting these things, there is always someone who saves them.The plasma cannons of the close-air assault ship projected plasma bombs down at an altitude of 200 kilometers, as well as metal hydrogen bombs and mustard gas.The Assyrians on the ground turned into black carbide piece by piece in the sea of ​​fire and the high temperature of the plasma cluster, and all the blood was evaporated.

"Later, you passed the law prohibiting the plundering of our citizens. However, the rebels, the remote mountain villages are still the hunting grounds of your hunters. We died 10,000+ people, and we got such an end."

"Someone must be responsible for the riots. You people on Earth have found my uncle, the Duke of Durrochem. Because he has been resisting in his own territory, he must die..."

"Duke Durrochem's territory was in flames overnight, and all his guards died at the hands of your machine monsters. There are 130 people in his family, and only my cousin is alive or dead. The others, either Killed on the spot or caught."

"You brought my uncle and aunt to San Antquis, and erected two huge crosses outside the city gate. Then my uncle and aunt were nailed to them alive. The wind, the sun, The rainforest turned into two mummified corpses..."

Zhang Mai listened quietly, and An's voice was resynthesized by a simultaneous translator, with a little electronic sound, and he just listened quietly.He knew that there was no need to say anything at this time. Ann just wanted to complain, to a person on earth who could listen to her complaints.

"It was only then that I knew what is terrible about people on Earth. However, the more terrible you are, the more I want to know why you are so terrible. I secretly asked the court scholars to find out, and went to the servants and guards in the palace to find out. .I heard them say it more than once and cry bitterly. Their parents, wives and children, friends, fellow countrymen, and their fresh lives just withered like this.”

"Do you know..." An turned her head and looked into Zhang Mai's eyes blankly, "At the beginning, you were few in number, so you used advanced weapons to encourage us to fight among ourselves. Started selling all kinds of drugs. Then you took our people and drove us into the mines. In your eyes, we were like animals. In Gaktuso, you carbonized us with deadly rays, in Sochi , you detonated the Suwei volcano, and tens of thousands of people were buried alive by volcanic ash. In order to expand the area where you can live, tens of thousands of people were shot at the gunpoints of your mechanical monsters, and the radiation minerals outside the Twilight City Transport them all away. The speed at which people die is directly proportional to the speed at which they construct. And countless people died on the battlefield against you... Our flesh and blood water the ground under our feet, and our lives are like small Like tiny candles, flickering in the wind called Earthlings."

An's hand stretched out, firmly grasping Zhang Mai's shoulder.

"Now, you want us to die for you with a smile... We, why did we come to this world? Is it just to let you slaughter and torture?"

Zhang Mai endured the severe pain from his shoulder, he didn't know what expression to use to face the girl in front of him.This is a bloody complaint from one race to another.He wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but under the title of Earthman, Zhang Mai found that he had no way to defend himself.

Enduring the pain, Zhang Mai stretched out his hand to hold the hand that was holding his shoulder: "An, actually, you and us are really similar."

A trace of doubt appeared in An Muran's eyes.

Zhang Mai tried his best to show a smile: "Would you like to listen to our story..."

On the LED of the personal terminal, a blue-gray marble building slowly rotated.In the low-pitched music, Zhang Mai slowly enlarged the small gold-plated characters on the back of the stele.

"This is..." An couldn't read Chinese characters, but the will on this monument almost burst out from the thin LED.

"Just like you, our more than 100 years of struggle, hard work, bloodshed and sacrifice are all on this monument." Zhang Mai slowly read out the inscription while talking.

"In the past three years, the people's heroes who died in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution are immortal!
For 30 years, the people's heroes who died in the People's War of Liberation and the People's Revolution are immortal!
It goes back to 840, and since then, in order to fight against internal and external enemies, and strive for national independence and people's freedom and happiness, the people's heroes who died in the previous struggles are immortal! "

"480 years ago, just like you, we were in the bottomless abyss and uttered the final roar." Zhang Mai said while turning over the images on his personal terminal one by one for An to look at.

The destruction of opium in Humen, the first Opium War, the second Opium War, the burning of the Old Summer Palace, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Boxers, the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Revolution of 731, the September [-]th Incident, the Long March, the July [-]th Incident, the Anti-Japanese War, Nanjing Massacre Online Memorial Hall, [-] Troops, War of Liberation, Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea...

Then there are pages and pages of martyrs with almost no end in sight.

"This is our same history as yours, more than 100 years, 100 years woven with blood, tears and lives. After making countless sacrifices, we finally climbed out of the quagmire."

"Ann, do you know that in the Second World War alone, we paid 2100 million lives. From the September 918th Incident to the end of World War II, we suffered nearly 3500 million casualties. And in these 100 years, the lives we paid , it is beyond calculation..."

"It's scary..." An tightly covered her ears, "You guys are so scary..."

Zhang Mai was silent, he didn't know what An said was terrible.

After a while, she finally raised her head: "Can we do it...Can we climb out of the abyss like you..."

"Okay! I can do it!" Zhang Mai held Ann's hand tightly, "We started to catch up in the dark age when there was no hope at all, and then we have achieved what we are today. You can do it too! Please don't treat us Despair, we earthlings are not born demons! We have flesh and blood! We also yearn for beauty!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Mai took a deep breath, then opened his eyes wide, staring at Ann's eyes.

"Although I am an insignificant person, if you don't mind, please let me help you!"

　Sacrifice... our blood, has it been cold for a long time under the infiltration of money worship and nihilism...
