It's too late to marry a cat [Interstellar]

The forgotten little planet is too quiet, so quiet that all living things that actively make noise seem to dive into the bottom of the sea, so there is only wind in the land, and there is only a trace of the sun ten million light years away that Xiaohuangxing stubbornly accepts. The rest of the tide was blowing with the wind, and the sound of the wind rolled up the sound of the tide again, sending them to people's ears a little.

Ya Huiquan remembered that Wo Xiu asked himself a question when they were silent together facing the cemetery.

"General Ya." Wo Xiu said suddenly, "Why are you fighting?"

Before them was the end of a race that had never appeared in the records of the Covenant, and probably knew little about it in the Outer Alliance, and it had appeared for the first time in front of a Covenant visitor and an Outer Alliance, It is to show its final outcome to the two commanders who fought in all directions.

The last survivor is of course long gone.

Collecting the bones and building this crude cemetery on his own, these two tasks exhausted the last vitality of the survivors. After doing all this, he was next to the remains of his tribe, and I don’t know how many years passed In the end, they were no longer separated from each other, and they all cuddled together in the sleeping place.

Most of the residents of this race died hugging each other.

Ya Huiquan was stopped by Wo Xiu's question, he barely looked back from the cemetery in front of him, and cast his eyes on Wo Xiu.

Wo Xiu didn't look at him.

The young commander of the foreign alliance had a rare and calm expression, putting away the usual indifference of the other party, and even a little gloomy expression between his brows.

At first, Ya Huiquan thought it was a one-word question, but later he found out that it was not, because Wo Xiu didn't ask him to give an answer.

Wo Xiu's mouth is asking people, but his posture is closer to introspection.

"Before the Outer Territory United became a whole, and there was no title of 'Outer Territory United', there were many small planets like this place in Outer Territory." Wo Xiu said softly, "There are refugees on the small planets, and there are notorious fraudsters. And pirates, there are also groups like this. I don’t know the culture and history of the group of sleepers below, and I’ve never met them before, but I guess they should have been born in the era of the ‘Great Voyage’ and ended at the end of the Great Voyage. In the first year of the star calendar, I chose this place as the habitat of the ethnic group."

In the age of great voyages, human beings moved their families and their genes evolved by leaps and bounds.

It was also the era when carriers of heterogeneous genes appeared for the first time, a large number of primitive species perished because they could not adapt to the great migration, and new species and intelligent races appeared alternately.

The ways of human evolution are varied, and not every direction of evolution can be accepted by the public.

In the first year of the star calendar, the Star Alliance was established, setting up citizenship thresholds, and only opening the door to space residents with complete genetic evolution recognized by the public, and accepting people classified according to the "human superior evolutionary benchmark".As for the carriers of the heterogeneous gene, the newly born hybrid races that are even less human than the carriers of the heterogeneous gene are all rejected by the Star Alliance.

The Star Alliance is the home of the new human beings, a civilized paradise for civilized people, and an ideal town where elites gather to build a bright future for mankind.

How can a monster with incomplete evolution and a low-level evolutionary who has been invaded by a foreign gene be worthy of stepping into the paradise of civilization and enjoying the same treatment as civilized people?

People who were not accepted by the Star Alliance became refugees in the new era, and they had to disperse outside the territory.

The universe is vast, and the territory of the Star Alliance will eventually have boundaries. The large and small natural planets outside the territory are the footholds of the exiles.

Scattered stars catch these scattered people.

"But it's not enough." Wo Xiu really didn't need anyone to give him an answer. Ya Huiquan was silent after he asked, and he didn't care. He just continued, "There are a lot of natural asteroids outside the domain. If you just seek a foothold, it is not difficult, but the difficult part is that the environment of a large part of the asteroid is not stable enough, it is easy to collide in the orbit of the planet, and is attracted by the gravitational field of other planets, and the exiles are often divided according to the direction of genetic distortion Factions, the better ones can form small-scale tribes, the worse ones, the people who can get together are only two or three kittens, which is not enough to make up a logistics operation team."

Therefore, during the period of loose sand, many small stars, together with the residents who depended on them for a living, quietly went out in the universe, and they disappeared without a trace.

The extra-territorial alliance was originally established to allow independent asteroids to establish contact and have something to rely on, and try to allow each other to communicate with each other when they are about to annihilate. Someone learned that a star here is falling and was established.

Except for the pirates who are used to being unscrupulous and roaming around, they stick to their own independent strongholds, and the other scattered stars outside the domain gradually move towards a whole, and then there is an official army united outside the domain.

We fight for survival, we fight for equal rights, we fight for the stars not to die silently—this is the oath of the Outer Territorial Alliance when it was founded.

Wo Xiu actually stepped on the line. This topic was too involved in the position of the camp. It was something he and Ya Huiquan had agreed to mention as little as possible in the principle of peaceful coexistence. When talking, the other party's position is not purely foreign coalition forces, but more like empathizing with the lost ethnic group in the cemetery below.

So General Ya didn't say anything, just stood silently with Wo Xiu on the high ground eroded by the wind.

Wo Xiu's question did hit him subtly.

Yahuiquan didn't even know what he would do if there was no war. If it weren't for responsibilities and obligations, and if he wasn't pushed by the invisible hand of fate, he really didn't know what else he would have to fight for.

He doesn't seem to have the belief that he must protect, and he is not keen on titles such as Glorious and Bright.

He couldn't figure out what he was doing, so he had to stop thinking about it, and went on to see Wo Xiu.

The Outer Territorial Alliance has been established for two hundred years, and the Star Alliance has firmly held the leading position for 300 years. Why would a young man ten years younger than him show such profound emotions in front of a dying race?

Ya Huiquan couldn't figure it out at the time, and his vague feeling was also specious.

The stars have changed, and 17 years later, Ya Huiquan looked back at this memory along the mural. He was held by Wo Xiu, and he finally understood that Wo Xiu was not only witnessing the demise of others, but also watching himself.

A group of two or three kittens, the last survivors.

The white tiger, who will never be able to collect the bones of his parents, looks at the graves of other people who are at least reunited. He asks the Covenant generals around him why they fought, and he also asks himself-do you still remember your original intention?is it right?

Have you ever deviated from your heart on the way forward?

Sleeping bones will not answer questions, wind and tides will not answer questions, and the silent planet can only bestow silence on visitors.

"It was almost the same day that I found the sleeping place." Woxiu, who was holding Yahuiquan's hand, said, "I have a lot of changes in my views on you."

"Coincidentally." Ya Huiquan said, "Me too."

Sleeping deeply made Yahuiquan accidentally see another side of Wo Xiu, and it was the same for Wo Xiu.

They looked at that place for a long time that day, and Wo Xiu didn't speak again after that. The two of them seemed to use silence to send a long-lost memorial to this unknown race.

Before leaving, Yahuiquan saw Wo Xiu pick up a flat stone slab, as if he was going to take it back as a souvenir.

"What are you picking up stones for?" General Ya watched coldly, but he still couldn't help asking.

"Pick it up and engrave it, then put it back." Wo Xiu replied.

Ya Huiquan couldn't understand this kind of behavior. His first reaction was to think of those people who are said to leave traces every time they visit a tourist attraction.

"Do you still have this kind of..." General Ya picked a word, "This kind of hobby that likes to engrave 'here for a visit' everywhere?"

Wo Xiu blew the ashes on the slate casually, clamped it under his arm, and then looked up at Yahuiquan.

"What are you thinking about?" Wo Xiu said, "Take it back and engrave an IOU."

Ya Huiquan realized what Wo Xiu meant.

This is not a planet without an owner. Everything in the ruins originally had an owner, and the owners slept on land, unaware that what they left behind benefited the two "extraterrestrial visitors" who broke into the planet.

Woxiu wants to make an IOU, and express his gratitude to the aborigines by the way.

Yahuiquan knew what Wo Xiu wanted to engrave, and Wo Xiu waited for this general who is famous for his poisonous mouth in the interstellar theater to comment on this behavior, guessing that this person would probably say "I don't know what it means", "This is just your wishful thinking Comfort" and the like, will feel that his thoughts are meaningless.

But never thought, Ya Huiquan opened his mouth, he just frowned and said: "That's it? IOUs are your way of expressing gratitude?"

Wo Xiu paused.

I saw that General Ya seemed to have fallen into a short thought, and then he said: "Change it."

Wo Xiu humbly asked: "What to change?"

Yahuiquan turned sideways, and he glanced at Shen Mian, who was still in sight, and his eyes fell on the stone tablet at the entrance: "We will temporarily borrow their residence, and use all they have left here to find the possibility of escape. , I promise to bring your stories out, let people know about the existence of this star, and let the forgotten ethnic group be remembered."

The first sentence of Yahuiquan was addressed to Wo Xiu, and the latter was addressed to the aborigines in the Sleeping Ground.

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and met Wo Xiu again, and found that Wo Xiu looked strange.

"...What kind of eyes are you looking at?" General Ya suddenly felt uncomfortable.

And Wo Xiu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said very pretentiously: "It's nothing."

"What were you thinking at that time?" 17 years later, Yahuiquan finally had the opportunity to ask this question again.

At that time, he was afraid that it would be bad for him to ask because of his intuition, and it seemed that it would make people more at a loss, so he nodded hastily after Wo Xiu's "nothing", indicating that this topic should be covered.

But now, of course, he has nothing to worry about, so he let go of his curiosity that spans time.

"I'm thinking that I should change my prejudice against you, otherwise it will always seem like I'm getting to know you again." Wo Xiu said, pinching his little finger gently.
