Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 260 This is the price!

The time has indeed reached the most urgent moment.

Now there is really no time to delay.

On the battlefield of Planet No. 2, the enemy's offensive is getting more and more fierce. Our side has only less than 50,000 warships left to mobilize, and is about to collapse!

Once the enemy invades the planet and destroys all missiles and nuclear bombs, then even if we want to clean it up, we won’t be able to do so!
Nearly ten billion of our civilization's elite population fell into the hands of our adversaries. This was absolutely unacceptable. Once this happened, all our civilization's secrets, all our technology, everything would become fodder for our adversaries, potentially threatening the overthrow of our civilization!

Hemerlan closed his eyes in pain.

At this moment, the only response method seems to be forced expulsion.

But, but, if this happens, the civilization may be torn apart and the entire organizational system of the civilization may collapse.

Now it's a real dilemma.

At this moment, all the noise seemed to have drifted away from Hemolan. Even though many high-ranking officials were shouting, angry, and eagerly trying to persuade him, Hemolan seemed to hear nothing.

He just closed his eyes and thought about something silently.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and his expression had returned to calm.

He raised his arm and pressed it down lightly. The entire conference room seemed to be suppressed by an invisible pressure and fell silent in an instant.

Hai Molan looked at the secretary and said calmly, "Broadcast live to Conference Room 1 throughout civilization."

"Yes."

A high-ranking member of the civilization was shocked and said, "Head of State, this..."

Heimeran looked at him calmly, and the high-ranking official of the civilization immediately shut up.

The cameras quickly moved in. Thus, the scene in Conference Room No. 1, the center of civilization's highest authority, appeared in every city, on every spaceship, and on every large screen.

At Base 665, a large crowd gathered, their emotions boiling. But as the image of Conference Room appeared, everyone subconsciously quieted down.

Under the gaze of hundreds of billions of eyes, Heimerlan calmly picked up the communicator and dialed a number.

People watched intently.

A moment later, the call was connected. His mother's familiar figure appeared before Hemolan, and before the eyes of hundreds of billions of people.

The mother's tone was filled with relief at having survived. "Lanlan, everything is fine now. We have evacuated Planet Two and are heading towards Planet Three."

When the numerous people gathered in the numerous cities heard these words, they became a little commotion unconsciously.

You have evacuated, but our compatriots are still on Planet No. 2!

Hemolan smiled and said, "Really? That's good. Mother, I want to tell you something.

I'm sorry, I can't save you. You now... have to go back to Planet Two. Not only you, but everyone on this passenger ship must go back to Planet Two."

In Conference Room No. 1, all the senior leaders of civilization raised their heads at once and looked at Heimerlan in horror.

In the picture, the mother's expression froze for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "Lanlan, what are you talking about?"

Tears welled up in Heimerlan's eyes, but he still had a smile on his face: "I'm not talking nonsense. Mother, I'm sorry, I can't save you.

I will always love you, and I would give my life for you. But now, I can’t save you, I can’t save you…”

The mother immediately began to panic: "Lanlan, Lanlan, what happened? You are the head of civilization! I am your mother! I worked so hard to raise you, and now you refuse to save me?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't save you..."

Hemeran shook his head in pain, tears kept flowing, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

He hung up the phone gently with trembling hands, and then, under the gaze of hundreds of billions of eyes, dialed another number.

"The crew of the 'Longtian' passenger ship? I am the head of civilization, Heimerlan. As the head of civilization, I now order you to change course immediately and return to Planet Two.

Yes, I am sending you to your deaths. If you disobey my orders, even if you return to civilization in the future, I will execute you for treason. Your family will be ashamed of you for generations to come.

If you obey, you will die, but I will honor you as a hero, and I will directly handle your funeral affairs. Your family will be proud of you. Now, tell me your choice."

In the deathly silence, a trembling voice reached the ears of all the people.

"Yes, all members of the Longtian spacecraft crew... obey the leader's orders!"

In the vast space, a passenger ship that was already far away from Planet No. 2, far away from the battlefield, and far away from danger suddenly began to slow down at full speed, and then accelerated in the opposite direction.

Because it had not gone too far and its speed had not increased too high, the spacecraft soon returned to the space elevator on Planet No. 2 in full view of everyone.

At the same time, all spacecraft are prohibited from leaving Planet No. 2.

The communication was cut off, and Conference Room No. 1 was filled with deathly silence.

All the high-ranking officials of civilization remained silent.

There were indeed close relatives or friends of theirs on the Longtian passenger ship. But now...

No one could speak.

Heimerlan looked at the camera with a smile. His figure and words were conveyed to all the people, as well as to the soldiers and people gathered at Base 665.

"Now, my mother and all the relatives of the high-ranking members of the civilization, their wives, children, relatives, and friends, have also returned to Planet Two. Like all of our relatives, they are all on Planet Two.

Fellow countrymen, those who remain on Planet Two at this moment are the elites of our civilization.

I'm not willing to give up on them even if there's a glimmer of hope.

But now, there is no way.

If they fall into enemy hands, our entire civilization could face catastrophic destruction.

For the sake of civilization... I can only kill them.

Fellow countrymen, there is nothing we can do!
I understand everyone's sadness and anger, and I personally feel the same. But I hope everyone can understand that all of this is the price paid for a prosperous and powerful civilization.

It's a price!
The only thing we can do is to win this war against human civilization amidst this sadness and anger, obtain the benefits we deserve, promote the continued development of civilization and technology, continue to grow stronger, and avoid such a situation in the future!
Now, I order... Planet Two to begin the cleansing!"

Outside Base 665, all the people were confused.

They stood there blankly, not moving.

After a long time, a low whimper was heard, and everyone burst into tears.

The enemy and you are not of the same species.

If a civilization splits and a war breaks out, being captured might still allow survival. However, if captured by a completely different civilization, the probability of survival is almost zero.

Our side does not have enough ability to evacuate our compatriots on Planet No. 2, and they are doomed to die.

When they die at the hands of the enemy, they will leak all their own military, technological and other secrets before they die, bringing disaster to their own side.

This is almost inevitable, because no intelligent life can withstand the punishment of high technology.

Dying at one's own hands... at least prevents the enemy from obtaining this information.

This is cruel, but the continuation of civilization cannot be achieved by emotions such as unwillingness, pain, passion, tragedy, etc. Only rationality, rationality that is cold and cruel to the extreme, can allow civilization to continue.

This situation has occurred before. If the leaders at the time had not acted decisively, their civilization might have been wiped out long ago.

As a true interstellar civilization, everyone understands the cruelty of this universe and the difficulty of surviving in it.

And now, the cruelty of the universe is truly presented to everyone.

The base operators who were blocked outside began to approach the base again.

This time, no one tried to stop them.
