Chapter 295 Cosmic Battle Royale
【This is the place where our life originated, I don’t know what you will call this place, but we call it the "cradle"】
【Thanks to the unimaginably superior natural environment here, almost all the first batch of civilizations quickly flew to the interstellar and gradually explored this galaxy】
【We have also experienced a long and complicated era of interstellar society, but we have all converged in the end. We believe that our unique environment is to make us "pioneers" and inspire other civilizations】
【I don’t know that destruction is coming】
【In the beginning, one or two stars went out for unknown reasons, because they all happened at the edge of the galaxy, far away from us, so we ignored it】
【However, when we realized again, this phenomenon of star extinguishing had already spread to the resource area, and gradually approached the residential area】
【We tried to find out the reason, but found nothing. The only thing we can know is that what is devouring this galaxy is a piece of "darkness"】
【"It" can basically be determined to be a perfect sphere with a diameter of about 400,000 light-years, which coincidentally surrounds our galaxy and shrinks toward the center of the sphere at a constant speed]
【And everything in the "dark" path will disappear without a trace, and no signs of existence can be detected anymore...】
Li Wenyuan listened to everything in the "monitoring terminal", and felt a little unbelievable about what happened in the "elliptical galaxy beta".
This matter itself is indeed extremely unimaginable. At first, Li Wenyuan thought that it was some unknown mysterious creature that devoured this galaxy, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
Only from the description of "darkness", no conclusions can be drawn about it, and this civilization surviving organization that claims to be "chasing the light" has not released any matching test data.
It is very likely that they are indeed completely unable to analyze this mysterious and weird phenomenon, and they cannot detect any data. All they can see is the darkness that is getting closer and closer.
He thought about the possibility related to it in his mind, and at the same time continued to record the monitoring content word by word.
【At first we tried to fight it, but there was nothing we could do about it, and the most powerful weapon we could develop couldn’t stop it from approaching even for a second】
【So we had to choose to move inland, emigrate to the center of the galaxy, give up all our past glory, and be driven away like bereaved dogs, just to survive for a while before being swallowed by darkness】
【We should have perished a long time ago, the darkness is approaching too fast, and we only have time to send out a distress signal before we will perish in the darkness】
【However, it may be a miracle, we accidentally discovered that black holes can slow down the approaching speed of darkness, and it takes a much longer time for the darkness to "swallow" the black hole than before】
【So we once again ignited hope, we managed to destroy all the stars, turn them all into black holes, and keep sending out distress signals, this is our struggle to survive】
"Did you blow up all the stars..." Li Wenyuan now understood why he couldn't observe the light of the "Elliptical Galaxy Beta".
Before I thought it was interstellar dust that blocked the light, but now it seems that either the darkness has the function of blocking the light transmission, or because all the luminous celestial bodies have been transformed into non-luminous celestial bodies, or both are possible.
【…However, we have been wandering on the edge of life and death for too long, the universe is empty after all, even if we are sure that there are indeed life in a few galaxies, and it may even be a high-level civilization, we have not received any response】
【Maybe because of trouble, maybe because of powerlessness, maybe because of indifference, we also understand them, after all, who wants to waste time and effort to help a group of strangers? 】
【In the beginning, the food under unified management disappeared, and then it gradually developed into energy blocks, minerals, alloys, and even... not many spacecraft】
【We also understand the reason for this situation. We can’t bear to pursue those partners who have shared weal and woe, but after accidentally bumping into the scene where they made a mistake, they panicked and chose to open fire...】
【The ideals of the past are finally shattered in the endless life and death. We start to compete with each other for less and less resources, fight because of hatred, and fight for the land of survival...just like when we were first】
【Countless partners who have been side by side for tens of thousands of years have been killed by our own hands, and we carry their share on our backs and continue to move forward with difficulty】
[From the initial 460 civilizations, to 230, 115, 57... We seem to be experiencing a battle royale of civilizations. As the darkness approaches, civilizations are constantly being eliminated, and the remaining civilizations are also being eliminated. More and more cold-blooded, everyone is fighting for survival]
【Only the victor has the opportunity to occupy the galaxy closest to the central area, and be the last one to meet the destruction there...Since the destruction is inevitable, what is the purpose of our fighting...? 】
The broadcast of the galaxy is intermittent, and it seems that the rescuer is also unable to maintain a more stable signal state because of the bleak memories.
It is said to be a distress signal, but from the content point of view, it is more like the last words of this "Light Chasing" civilization survival organization.
Such a world sounds cruel. As the caller said, they are experiencing a battle royale among civilizations. Even former friends have to take up arms and fight each other, just to fight for a longer life. Breathing time.
However, Li Wenyuan had a guess because of their "Cosmic Royale" statement.
So, he adjusted the frequency of the "Navigation Beacon" to be consistent with the "SOS Signal", and after confirming the range at the "Elliptical Galaxy Beta" they called "Cradle", he slowly sent out a series of responses.
...
At this time, the leader of "Chasing Light" somewhere in the black hole galaxy far away in the "Elliptical Galaxy Beta" is sadly broadcasting their historical experiences to the outside world one after another.
He no longer expects civilization to save them, but only hopes to leave a little record of his own civilization.
However, at this moment, he received a series of signals from extremely distant sources, not even in their galaxy.
The contents of the signal are:
【I already have a basic understanding of your situation, now I want to know... Is there a special planet called an "observation terminal" in your place? 】
The leader of "Chasing Light" was taken aback for a moment, then was dazzled by the huge surprise, and began to speak incoherently.
"I, we, you are, what are you..."
The life-saving straw in the time of despair, he subconsciously grasped it tightly in his hands, completely ignoring what was behind the straw.
Quality as a leader He quickly calmed down and answered accurately with the same signal:
"Traversing through our and... 229 civilizations' historical databases, no identical or similar information remains."
"No..." The unexpected answer made Li Wenyuan slightly stunned, but he soon realized what was going on, and asked again:
【So... have you checked the galaxy in the heart of the galaxy? 】
