"We walked around the city for a long time and didn't find anything."
Jean said and Tang Rao sighed.
"It would be nice to find another piece."
Werther said with a helpless smile.
"It's good to be able to find a piece. Now we can only set sail."
There was joy on Gu Yi's face as Tang Rao said.
"Let's set sail directly, otherwise Gu Yi will not be able to hold it any longer."
Gu Yi scratched his head helplessly, and the spacecraft started to launch. It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and many people in Section 10 were also going to rest. Jean stayed in the control room, and Shakira was also there.
"It was nice talking to you Jean."
Shakira said Jean asked.
"Don't you need to go rest?"
Shakira shook her head.
"I'm not sleepy yet, let me tell you something about our Steka, Jean. When our Steka started to fall into such a situation, something happened."
Gene stood up and took out the wine, Shakira nodded, and there were only two people left in the control room. Tang Rao and Werther planned to continue their research, while Gu Yi planned to analyze the junk in the United States.
"We might have had a chance to change all of this."
"What happened?"
Shakira smiled helplessly.
"This is the story told to us by our leader, who witnessed everything in Steka."
After Shakira took a sip of wine, her body did not react at all. This was not the first time she drank. She had tried various foods and wines in human society before, and these things could be provided to Stika.
The energy needed by the body.
Shakira began to speak.
The leader of the once-cursed Steka was a member of the Empire's regular army and a very high-ranking Steka. He personally participated in the war between the Empire and the United States.
The war was not one-sided at the beginning, but Steka had the upper hand, because Steka's ability to adapt to harsh environments was much better than that of humans, so when fighting in such a wilderness, humans were passive, as long as their machinery
If the equipment is damaged, humans will definitely die if exposed to such an environment.
Therefore, not long after the war began, the Stekas discovered this weakness of mankind and no longer started large-scale attacks, but began small-scale harassment operations.
The Stekas had only one goal in fighting humans at that time, which was to destroy the shells of human machines and expose humans to the air.
This fighting method allowed Steka to win a brief victory. Later, the emperor of the empire planned to invade the border with a large army. Humanity used weapons of mass destruction to stop Steka's advance, but it could only delay it.
In the end, the humans who took the lead in provoking the war began to negotiate with the Stekas. The humans gave the Stekas more abundant food, and finally the Stekas announced that they would live in peace with humans.
"It was against this background that gradually the upper-class Steka began to like some things in human society, and visited human society frequently."
"It's like this in every world."
Jean roughly understood that it was the corruption at the top that gave humans the opportunity to find Steka's weaknesses. Shakira nodded and continued talking.
"In the end, we in Steka could only grovel, and this was the beginning of the disaster."
After that, many of Steka's top officials even moved to the outskirts of the United States to live, and the United States even built palaces for them, which made most Steka feel that humans were pretty good.
But at that time, there was a group of militants in Stika society. They felt that humans were just stalling for time, and they would definitely find a way to launch another attack, because they felt that humans were cunning and cruel.
Human infiltration had already arrived at Stika's center of power silently, so the main war faction was quickly suppressed.
At that time, the leader of the Black-Eyed Steka was a member of the Warring Faction. The Warring Faction lost its status in the center of power, and this Steka could only serve under some nobles.
It was during this assignment that Steka discovered the clues when he was assigned to escort some goods to human society.
It was originally just some simple animal bones and carapace, but an accident occurred during transportation. Human robbers targeted the cargo. A fierce battle ensued. After the human robbers were repelled, the cargo was scattered all over the place due to the attack.
This Steka was extremely shocked at the time. Among these goods, there were many living and dead Stekas with monochromatic eyes, including some young Stekas.
This Steka became angry instantly. He let the living Steka go. Then he thought about the disappearance of Steka in many places in the country, so he still went to the place of delivery.
This Steka became angry and directly killed most of the humans, and learned from a human that this transaction had been going on for many years, and the Steka that was traded was used for research.
This Steka returned home immediately, and did not go back to the nobles. Instead, he went directly to the royal capital, intending to skip everything and tell the then emperor about the matter.
But the power of this Steka was very weak at the time, and he was caught before he could see the emperor. Soon it turned out that he was having an affair with humans and seeking benefits from the nobles.
Such injustice caused Steka to be tortured after his arrest. He told people every day in prison that humans were studying them, and that one day when human research was successful, it would be the end of Steka.
Such words finally reached the ears of the emperor, who then reacted and ordered a thorough investigation, but it was already too late.
Humanity has learned everything about Steka. This Steka was released. This time he met the emperor. He directly told the emperor not to collide with humans head-on. Humans must already know how to deal with Steka.
However, the emperor did not listen to the advice of Steka, and gathered his troops, intending to inflict a heavy blow on mankind. However, it was indeed Steka who was hit hard. Those high-level Steka were also faced with the weapons developed by humans to deal with Steka.
, vanished into ashes.
The entire Steka Empire collapsed overnight, but humans did not intend to exterminate Steka. Instead, they put forward a condition that Steka would give them a certain number of Steka every year, otherwise they would be destroyed.
In the end, the emperor came up with a way, and the cursed Steka appeared. All the Steka with black pupils became slaves. They became the lowest level of the entire Steka society. After being forced to work in slavery, they would be
into the hands of humans.
And this Steka, who discovered everything but was unable to prevent the tragedy in the end, finally left the center of power of the empire and began to rescue the cursed Stekas, unite them, and plan to resist such an unfair empire.
This kind of resistance lasted for many years, and a lot of chaos began to appear within the Stika Empire. The empire also repeatedly hoped that humans would take action to destroy this resistance force. However, humans chose to sit back and take care of themselves because they could get rid of such chaos.
to gain more benefits from the situation.
"How old were you then?"
Shakira smiled.
"I was rescued on the way to a human city. My parents hid my existence, and many people in the village hid the existence of the cursed Stika in their family, but in the end we were discovered.
"
There was a sense of desolation in Shakira's eyes.
"Our anger and humiliation have been going on for so long, but the Stakas above still don't care about anything. It's strange, isn't it Jean?"
Jean smiled and said.
"As long as there is a steady stream of people from the bottom being born, the top will not collapse and they can still sit back and relax."
After Jean finished speaking, Shakira sighed.
"A while ago, we found an opportunity. We could have caused heavy damage to human society in one fell swoop, but the empire chose to attack us from behind. In the end, under the dual pressure of humans and the empire, we failed, and he died as a result."
Shakira's eyes were sad, but she did not cry, because tears are the most precious thing to Stika.
Gene smiled and nodded.
"It's okay, everything is over, but now you have brought most of the Steka across the ocean."
Shakira asked Jean with serious eyes.
"What are you going to do in the United States, Gene?"
Gene scratched his head, lit a cigarette and smiled.
"If one day, the United States becomes a threat to Brilliant City, then I will not hesitate to destroy this country."
Shakira looked at Jean in shock.
"I've done this kind of thing many times, and I'm very good at dealing with threats."
Shakira smiled.
"Hopefully one day it will become a threat to Brilliant City."
Gene smiled.
"If that's the case, it's better not to talk about Shakira. I won't attack others for no reason."
Shakira hummed.
"I know Gene, but this country is too barbaric and they are particularly hypocritical."
Jean smiled and nodded.
