The cat eater's pupils dilated slightly.

Some misty eyes pierced the dark cave dome, as if they could penetrate the hundreds of meters thick rock formations, piercing the endless sky, seeing billions of bright stars - that cold, lonely, like an eternal grave starry sky.

Its beard moved, but it didn't speak, but its tense muscles gradually relaxed.

"The so-called spiritual recovery is equivalent to the big explosion of life that has occurred in the history of the earth. No force can stop the birth of new life."

Chu Ge smiled wryly, "Before the recovery of spiritual energy, there was only one kind of intelligent life, human beings on the earth, but after that, there may be thousands of strange, completely different, gorgeous and colorful intelligent life—and among all the intelligent life Among the life forms, the rat family, which are carbon-based mammals and influenced by human civilization, can definitely be called our "close relatives".

"If all human beings adhere to Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's ideology of iron-blooded hawks, clinging to the idea of ​​'not my race, their hearts must be different', and yelling at all newly emerging intelligent life, How long does it take to kill someone before they become tall?

"Today, the Rat Race has wisdom. Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting can develop the 'Underground Terminator', carrying a deadly nerve agent to wipe out the Rat Race. Tomorrow, if some kind of fish in the ocean is also born with wisdom, Wu Zhengting Will Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Ting use a large amount of synthetic petroleum to pollute the ocean and suffocate all the fish indiscriminately; the day after tomorrow, if the plants all over the mountains and plains also give birth to wisdom, is it necessary to set off a raging fire that spreads all over the world? All the green mountains and green waters have turned into a hot hell?

"Bugs, by the way, now many zergs like bee swarms have appeared the embryonic form of wisdom, can human beings destroy all mice, all fish, all trees and all bugs at the same time?

"Even if we are really crazy and wiped out the entire ecosystem that we depend on for survival along the food chain, we will just make our homeland a mess and devastated. There are still many intelligent life forms from other worlds who will praise it with ridicule. Our stupidity—whether the world of cultivating immortals or the world of phantom demons, there are countless indescribable, intelligent life beyond the carbon-based category. When the supreme masters come to the earth, with whom can human beings fight side by side to defend our common homeland?

"This is destined to be a dead end that cannot be turned back. My choice is not to go on it from the beginning.

"Cat eater, say it again, the future of the Rat Race civilization and part of the human civilization now depends on your choice. Are you really unwilling to give peace, the future and hope another chance, and insist on burning jade and stone and hurting both sides?"

That's all Chu Ge said.

He stared at the cat eater so hard his eyes were almost bleeding.

The cat eater lowered his head and remained silent for a long, long time.

"Shua!"

Suddenly, the cat eater curled the scalpel around his tail, and there was a bright light on the knife.

The spokes of the bicycle on which Chu Ge was hanging upside down broke.

When Chu Ge fell to the ground, the steel wire rope that bound him was also cut to pieces by the knife light, and his numb hands and feet spread out, making him lie on the ground sprawled.

Chu Ge's heart was finally temporarily put back in his stomach, and he smiled sincerely at the cat eater.

"Don't laugh at me, what humans have done to Ratfolk,

I remember it all clearly. "The cat eater said viciously.

"Of course, in the past month or so, countless rat tribes have died innocently for the benefit of mankind. From your standpoint, this matter is indeed despicable. I will never dare to ask for your forgiveness. I only hope that you can understand One reason—"

Chu Ge still smiled and said, "For a qualified commander, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, but only eternal interests. Let's remember the past for now. At least for now, we have common interests, so we should be like The people of Wu and the people of Yue help each other in the same boat.”

"I still don't understand..."

The cat eater muttered, "Why do people from Wu and Yue get on the same boat?"

Chu Ge thought for a while, and said, "Perhaps, there is a big tiger chasing after them, making them panic?"

The cat eater was slightly taken aback, speechless.

"On the revived earth, the threats we face are not just as simple as a big tiger."

Chu Ge said, "The threat from the Immortal Cultivation Realm is a big tiger, the threat from the Illusory Demon Realm is a big tiger, the Celestial Organization is a small tiger, and there are all kinds of insects, animals and plants that mutate... There are literally a hundred big tigers. Chasing our buttocks, we ran to the same boat in a panic, and just after leaving the shore, those tigers were still patrolling on the shore, and we encountered turbulent currents and wind waves, and we might collapse at any time. At this time, if you step on me again One foot, I touch your foot, then it's boring, if you really want to settle the score, let's wait until you reach the other shore safely, and then settle it slowly!"

The cat eater muttered a few words, stopped worrying about this issue, and regained the commander's calmness, said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and let's see how we can help each other—what can you bring to the Rat Race, and what do you need from the Rat Race?" do what?"

Chu Ge said: "It depends on what you need."

The cat eater smiled wryly and said, "Human beings are so powerful, and the Rat Race is so weak. Is there any room for the weak to bargain in front of the strong? We have nothing to ask for, just want to survive."

"Order, if you want to survive, you need to bring order to the underground world."

Chu Ge said, "Human beings can't bear the existence of a place a few meters, tens of meters to hundreds of meters below their feet, and there is a dark world that is smoky, lawless, chaotic and turbulent all day long, and it is even more impossible to tolerate some half-intelligent, half-ignorant madness. Rodents, cables, optical cables, gas pipelines, oil pipelines, water purification pipelines and sewage pipelines that threaten human beings all day long. If the rat race in the Fang Kingdom wants to survive and carry forward your civilization, they must help human beings restore and maintain The order of the underground world makes mankind, especially the human parliament and military, feel that the cost and loss of eliminating you far outweighs the benefits of keeping you.”

The cat eater's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "How much weight does your promise have, how many humans you represent to negotiate with me, in case I believe you, and the order of the underground world is really restored, but the human military If you stomp on the verbal agreement you and I have reached, what should we do?"

"It is true that I cannot influence the actions of the military, but I can represent the local council of Lingshan City."

Chu Ge said, "As I said just now, the human world is not monolithic, and the balance of interests between the local council, the supreme council, and the military is a very delicate issue.

"From the military's point of view, of course we hope to use war to solve all problems, and by the way let countless soldiers get promoted and get rich, and get glittering medals.

"From the perspective of the Supreme Council, perhaps it would not be too strongly opposed to a war against the Rat Race to defend the illusory 'glory of human civilization'.

"However, in Lingshan City, or even the entire East China Sea region, how far will such an unprecedented war go, and will the intensity of the war increase infinitely? Cong Lingshan City will affect the provincial capital and even dozens of large and medium-sized cities Even if the main force of the Rat Clan is wiped out, what should we do if the Rat Clan adopts guerrilla tactics and continues to harass, corrupt the place, and infeste rats in the next few decades? Local councilors will not carelessly consider these issues.

"On the other hand, if the Rat Race can build a shining example of harmonious coexistence and common development with humans in Lingshan City and even the entire East China Sea region, it will help promote the local economy, provide employment opportunities, improve the ground and underground business environment, and even create The brand-new sunrise industry and outlet industry have countless benefits.

"Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the construction of the underground transportation network-now dozens of cities in the Donghai Region are building subways in a hurry, and even those cities with a population of less than one million are eager to declare more than ten or twenty However, due to problems such as construction costs and geological structure, most of the subway construction applications were blocked by the Supreme Council.

"If the Rat Race can cooperate with humans and help humans build an underground transportation network, the cost and difficulty of construction will be greatly reduced. Maybe dozens of large and medium-sized cities in the entire East China Sea region can be connected into one. What kind of momentum is this? A magnificent, rapid leap.

"Based on this alone, I'm 90% sure that I can convince the city council and even the district council, and let them go to the military and the Supreme Council to wrestle with the military and the Supreme Council—although I'm not 100% sure, but it's better than your plan , rush out in spite of everything, and escape to the jungle to fend for oneself is much better."
