Faced with the captain's insistence, the crew members were silent.

But there was a scarlet light flashing around them, showing that their silence was by no means an identification with the captain.

"So what?"

Finally, Chief Qualifier Quak said softly on behalf of most members of the Bridge Group.

The captain was slightly stunned.

"So what?"

The captain looked at the first mate in disbelief, "Quick, what exactly do you mean, make it clear!"

"Yes, Captain, then I will explain everyone's thoughts clearly."

First mate Quick went out. He faced Captain Gao Zunlong and said expressionlessly, "Even if we really squeezed out the rich little world in front of us, repaired and even upgraded the Emerald, and continued our journey of despair or... a desperate journey like a dog. And with the luck of despair, he found dozens or even hundreds of similar rich worlds, collected all resources, and reorganized a huge fleet. So what? At that time, would we have the ability to fight the flood tide?

"Don't forget, before the flood tide surged, our Yuanshi civilization controlled the entire sea of ​​stars! We built billions of starships, we conquered countless planets, we destroyed millions of powerful civilizations of intelligent life, we are the kings of kings, the masters of all universes!

“And what, is it useful?

"Faced with the strong attack of Hong Chao, the billion-dollar starships were instantly destroyed, even more miserable, becoming the puppets of Hong Chao. One planet after another was transformed, and one group of Yuanshi tribes were confused and willing to throw themselves into Hong Chao's arms. Even if we ignite the "sun defense line" formed by billions of stars was easily broken through. Until the end, even a small wave of Hong Chao could force us to run away!

"Captain, please think carefully. With the power of the last starship left now, even if it is a hundred times stronger, can it be compared with the Yuanshi civilization in its heyday? I'm afraid it's not even a drop in the bucket, right?

"The Yuanshi civilization in its heyday was beaten to pieces by Hong Chao. Even if we are a hundred times stronger, how should we compete with Hong Chao?"

As soon as Qualifier finished speaking, he took a breath with relief.

These words have been accumulated in his hearts with most members of the bridge team for too long. When he said this, the atmosphere on the bridge suddenly became different.

Captain Gao Zunlong was stunned.

The mysterious lights around the body alternated, as if an angry flame was ignited wildly.

It seems that after the torture of a long voyage, his crew members became so weak.

"so what?"

The captain narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What are your plans? Just stop here. Don't you want to continue moving forward?"

"Go ahead?"

First mate Quick smiled bitterly, "Towards the determined goal, and strode forward under the guidance of hope, this is called "moving forward"; there is no goal at all, no hope, wandering in the vast dark night, this is just a headless fly, and lingering.

“Since you’re surviving, why not choose a better way for yourself?

"Captain, just say it. The brothers are tired and can no longer walk.

"We have been lost in this cruel sea of ​​stars for too long. We have been wandering since our ancestors. We have never experienced the so-called "glory of Yuanshi civilization" and we do not know what it feels like to rule the world. Since our fathers and fathers have remembered it, we have been living a life of stagnation and panic all day long.

"We endure dirty air, rotten circulating water, and synthetic food that tastes like wax. We die because of a hibernation warehouse failure, we die because of a power furnace explosion, we die because of a meteorite breaking through the starship shell and being sucked into the cosmic vacuum. I heard that when the Yuanshi civilization was at its most powerful, our ancestors had already cultivated to a state where they could transform freely between matter and energy, and were not afraid of the coldness and ruthlessness of the universe. Unfortunately, after being chased by the Hongchao for so many years, our civilization has degenerated to such a tragic level. Most of the superb technology and cultivation methods have been lost, and they can't even survive in the cosmic vacuum!

"Can such suffering still boast about it with a shameful face? Are we really alive or sad walking corpses?

"I'm tired, Captain, we're so tired.

"If we didn't discover the abundant world in front of us, maybe everyone could continue to move on insensitively.

"But the world in front of us is too quiet, too beautiful, too dreamy. It is so beautiful that it can shatter all our beliefs and leave only one thought in our minds, that is, stay here forever and live a carefree and satisfying life!"

"A carefree, satisfied life?"

Captain Gao Zunlong muttered softly twice, suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he was raising a guillotine. He roared in a thunderous voice, "Are you all crazy? Have you been blocked by interstellar dust? Or are you burned by stars so hard that you can't think? Hong Chao is still following us and will find us at any time!"

"No, Captain, the Hongchao has not appeared for two or three thousand years, we have temporarily gotten rid of it."

The first mate Quak said expressionlessly, "The centipede insect dies without being stiff. After all, Yuanshi civilization was once prosperous. Even if it fell apart, there were still tens of millions of escape fleets scattered around the starry sea. The flood tides always need to be harvested one by one.

"In other words, we don't need to escape the flood, we just need to be more hidden than our brother fleets.

"In this sense, what you mean by collecting resources, repairing and upgrading starships is to seek death, because doing so will definitely release various special energy ripples and signals, which are easily searched by Hongchao.

"On the other hand, if we hide in this abundant world, try to seal all the high-tech and secret techniques of cultivation, and do not leak even a little signal to the outside. Before we harvest the brother fleets, Hong Chao would not find us so easily."

"Brother Fleet, Quick, do you still have the face to mention the word 'brother'?"

Captain Gao Zunlong laughed furiously, "Your way is to be a turtle with his head and use his brother as a shield in exchange for the illusory sense of security that can survive?"

"It sounds a bit mean, but they are not real 'brothers' either."

First mate Quike said lightly, "Long-lasting before the emergence of the flood tide, the Yuanshi civilization had already split and conquered the Yuanshi tribes of different universes, and had long been alienated into the local appearance, harming neighbors and slaughtering each other - have we fought many civil wars? I won't feel any guilt when I watch these people die."

"Okay, even if these so-called 'brother fleets' have nothing to do with us, how long can we hide here? Ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, or one million years?"

Captain Gao Zunlong said angrily, "In the end, we will still be found by Hong Chao!"

"Isn't one million years enough? My Captain, don't be too greedy."

A helpless smile appeared on the face of Quaker, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, natural laws, any civilization will rise and fall. If our civilization can continue for another million years in this abundant world, no, as long as one hundred thousand years, even ten thousand years will be better, I will be satisfied.

"After all, our lives cannot support them for ten thousand years. Even if we include our children and grandchildren, it is enough for them to live a wonderful life without worries. When we all die, who cares if there will be a flood?"

“…”

Captain Gao Zunlong stared at First Deputy Qualifier, as if he had never known him, his "loyal" deputy.

“Insufficient resources.”

Captain Gao Zunlong paused word by word, gritted his teeth, "Even if you say, just hide here as a turtle, the resources of this rich world are still not enough for all the crew members on the Jade, living their lives comfortably and carefree."

"Yes, it's not enough, but who said that you want all crew members to enjoy?"
