Chapter 2958 Rumors Emerge, the Cause of the Misunderstanding
And so, through the administrators' shady tactics, every time a group of people ran away, they would create a batch of clones to replace them.
From this perspective, every city still appears quite prosperous—though the streets are filled with robots, of course.
The clones, just like natural humans, stayed at home playing virtual games...
……
At this moment.
A robot is patrolling the streets.
It uses life detection equipment to scan its surroundings.
This device can scan people in rooms on both sides of the street.
It searches through one piece of information after another.
And then analyze it.
After it finished surveying the surroundings and scanning all the people, it discovered a fatal problem.
These people do not meet the standards required by the master.
They are all clones.
It turns out that this robot was sent by aliens.
It should be said that the data AI was transmitted, but the body was still made on Earth.
It immediately questioned the administrators who were allegedly colluding with aliens.
"Why are there so many clones here?"
"Didn't you tell me that although many people ran away, even more people stayed behind?"
One of the administrators pretended to be puzzled and said, "These are all normal people. Look at their DNA and memories. Check them and you'll know they are all normal people."
These people were all trained normally.
It is definitely not one of those cyborgs with chips.
"Please stop deceiving me. The scanning function tells me these are all clones," the robot said, shaking its head.
“They are not normal natural people; they have not experienced a complete life and have not accumulated the wisdom of time.”
One of the administrators asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"
"Also, how can you be sure they didn't live their lives to the fullest?"
The robot shook its head and said, "What we need are natural persons, and we naturally have our own methods of inspection."
"Replicants lack a certain kind of mental fluctuation, which only natural humans possess."
"What do you need natural persons for?"
The administrators all felt a sense of fear.
The robot said, "You don't need to worry about that."
"All you need to know is that you must ensure there are a sufficient number of natural persons here."
"Otherwise, it would be completely unnecessary for us to occupy your planet."
"There are plenty of planets in the universe, and there's nothing special about your place."
"The only thing of value is that there are many natural people here. These natural people have been gradually evolved and selected over four or five billion years by the planet."
"This is arguably the most valuable asset, because it is irreplaceable."
"Just like antiques, why are they more valuable than modern artifacts?"
"It is precisely because of the accumulation of time that this is an irreplaceable item. In terms of cultural and artistic value, it may not be better than modern exquisite handicrafts."
The administrators were somewhat confused.
"Don't you understand?" the robot said, shaking its head.
"The history of a civilization is its most valuable asset."
"As for the planet itself, there is nothing of value about it."
"In the universe, in the Milky Way, there are millions, even trillions, of planets with similar environments."
"Other planets also have water, bacteria, and life."
"But none of them have a civilization as prosperous as yours."
"We've been searching for a long time before we finally found you, and we've been very lucky this time."
"The wormholes are now connected."
"Otherwise, even if we discover it, we can only communicate once every few hundred years through long-term radio communication."
At this point, the robot was exposed; its home planet was only a few hundred light-years away from Earth.
Actually, this makes searching much easier.
However, finding it wouldn't be very meaningful, since you can't fly there.
We must capture the wormhole.
At this moment.
One of the administrators noticed something was wrong.
Although he colluded with aliens in order to ensure his immortality.
But if such collusion threatens his original immortality, he decides to end his cooperation with these people.
After all, he didn't want to die.
After a series of questions and answers, he secretly left.
With the administrator's privileges, he successfully located the middle-aged man and the protagonist.
At this moment.
The main characters and their group naturally did not participate in the escape.
On the contrary, they are still trying to persuade others.
They persuaded the remaining people to join them in the resistance.
"We will be the last warriors!"
"This is our Earth, and Earth is our home."
"This is the safest place in the universe. Once we get out, we will never find a place as safe as this again."
"You wander in the universe and become rootless people."
"People without roots are easily bullied by others."
“All kinds of discrimination and exclusion, even cosmic meteorites can wipe you out.”
"Nobody will take you seriously."
That's how they advertised it.
It has to be said that it is effective.
After all, there are too many fools and not enough swindlers.
If someone is willing to put in the effort to say something and repeat it a hundred times, five people will believe it.
If this continues, fifty, five hundred, five thousand, fifty thousand people will believe it.
Some people might think this is an exaggeration.
However, the biggest lie, the various imagined communities, relies on repeating lies to make people believe them.
In reality, the number of people who believe the lies far exceeds the number who don't.
And so, out of 100 fugitives, two or three actually listened to their advice.
They gave up the spaceship they had built, and the opportunity to board it, and actually stayed to fight alongside them.
However, while they resisted, they did so on a condition.
That means they can help shout, but only the robots they control can do things for them.
They wouldn't risk their own lives.
They need to stay in the safest place.
Simply put, they want to control robots to help them do their work from a safe shelter.
Goodness, these people are all incredibly cunning and clever.
And at this time.
The administrator found them.
They began by saying, "We have discovered the terrifying truth about aliens."
"They came here, most likely because they saw us as food."
"What? Aliens want to eat us? What's the evidence?" The middle-aged man immediately became agitated.
"Of course they do. They need natural Earthlings, not clones."
"Isn't it obvious? People prefer natural foods to artificial ones."
"Just like wild game is always more expensive than domesticated game, everyone actually knows that the latter is safer and tastier," the administrator said, shaking his head.
The middle-aged man immediately became furious. He didn't even question what the other person was saying, nor did he bother to verify it carefully.
The other party said "very likely".
He took the news as fact.
"I knew it would be like this!"
"These damn aliens!" the middle-aged man said fiercely.
This news perfectly aligned with his understanding. "I knew these aliens weren't anything good."
"They want to kill us and turn us into their food!"
"They actually want natural people, it's outrageous!"
"Are you sure?" Wenren Sheng asked again.
“Yes, it’s a natural person,” the administrator said confidently. “The aliens said that natural people contain a certain nutrient.”
"And they hate clones, saying they don't have the accumulation of time. Isn't that saying that pigs that are quickly slaughtered have no flavor, and only pigs that are slowly raised have flavor?"
Wenren Sheng wanted to laugh, but he didn't.
After all, he is a polite person.
"These damn bastards!"
"We must wipe them out completely."
With that, the middle-aged man began a new operation.
Because he discovered a new opportunity.
It must be said that his guess was somewhat of a lucky accident.
Although the aliens did not intend it that way, if they actually took action, the result would be pretty much the same.
Earthlings will all become domesticated food.
It's just a psychological one.
Wenren Sheng was very clear about this.
And so, under the administrator's testimony...
Everyone was furious.
They decided to wipe out those damn aliens, one by one.
They absolutely will not allow these bastards to run rampant here in the future, hunting humans for food at any time.
So they acted quickly.
They spread their message everywhere.
They revealed the true purpose of the aliens.
"The aliens said they need natural humans; they want to use us as natural food."
"They say that only natural people taste good."
Goodness, that's how rumors spread.
"They also said that only the tastes of natural humans, who have evolved over decades, are the best."
In fact, this is a misinterpretation of what aliens mean.
The other party was saying that the foundation of civilization spanning billions of years is the most important thing.
This profound foundation can bring spiritual strength.
Of course, the aliens don't mention spiritual power because they're afraid that Earthlings might be inspired and then used against them.
As the propaganda spread, most people on Earth came to believe that this was a fact.
They believed that aliens came here to eat them, the natural humans.
After all, the administrator provided the recording.
These recordings can seem quite strange if interpreted in a particular way.
These people were extremely angry.
They would rather flee than become food for aliens.
So the remaining people began to learn how to fight and chose to resist.
They made a decision to completely eliminate those cannibalistic aliens.
They will not tolerate this happening.
They are immortal beings, how could they allow themselves to be eaten?
They also began persuading others.
And so, one person after another believed them.
"Aliens came to Earth to eat humans."
"Everyone needs to unite. You can't escape, because the enemy will hunt us down throughout the solar system like hunting turkeys!"
"We must unite!"
The group began to gather together.
They need to find a way to fight against the aliens.
They would never allow the enemy to eat them.
They would not tolerate the entire planet becoming someone else's hunting ground.
They have always existed as predators, but now their enemies have chosen to hunt them down.
How could they tolerate this?
More and more people are uniting together because of their shared hatred.
They had a common enemy, and they did everything they could to deal with those damn bastards.
We must defeat them completely!
"These bastards want to eat us? That's impossible!" the middle-aged man shouted.
As they expanded their propaganda, related news exploded across the virtual world like a virus.
The purpose of aliens invading Earth is to add humans to the "list of edible, rare natural species".
The news report included a variety of recipes in a very serious manner.
It's practically a Hannibal Lecter contest.
"One must know when to temper one's actions..."
"On 108 ways to do it."
At first, it was just a rumor circulating in a small circle.
Moreover, more and more evidence is emerging.
The administrator used his privileges to intercept the alien fleet's communication packets.
He translated more cold, impersonal commands.
"Make sure to reserve high-quality protein to ensure the survival and domestication of a large number of natural people."
The act of raising animals in captivity has triggered a sensitive nerve in humans.
The term "domesticated" is specifically used to refer to livestock and poultry.
Subsequently, more images sent by extraterrestrials were leaked.
A massive ring-shaped mothership hovers above Neptune.
"They've arrived at Neptune!"
The ship extended hundreds of silver cables, which plunged into the earth like straws, sucking away minerals.
What was originally just a matter of replenishing minerals was interpreted by everyone as, "They're eating!"
"This is to absorb the energy of the earth."
"There's no one on Neptune. If they came to Earth, they'd drain everyone dry!"
Meanwhile, in the virtual network, urgent headlines are displayed on a scrolling screen:
[Official Confirmation: Earth Classified as "Level 2 Pastureland"]
The aliens have made their target clear: they've come to hunt humans and eat them.
Similar messages are becoming increasingly common.
Many content creators' voices trembled when making commentary videos.
"...The other side determined that my population's fat conversion rate is 7% better than the interstellar standard."
"We recommend 'live quick-freezing and segmented processing'."
This is a food blogger who found a piece of text and started making things up.
Panic erupted immediately, flooding every street like a tsunami.
At the entrance of a supermarket, a mother is stuffing a can of baby formula into her backpack.
She turned to her husband helplessly and said, "If we get captured, let the aliens eat us. Just say the child has been on a hunger strike for three days."
"Of course you can. It would be best to eat me first, at least I can hold out for a few more days."
"Humans don't taste good! I have fatty liver!" Some people don't forget to make jokes even in the virtual world.
By this time, the launch pad of the fleeing fleet was completely surrounded.
Various videos of the manufacturing process are circulating online.
For example, "As night fell, the first alien fishing boat appeared in the sky."
"Those searchlights swept across the sea like pale tentacles."
"Please keep people still, as high levels of lactic acid in the muscles can affect the taste."
After seeing these videos, Wen Rensheng was speechless.
I never imagined that human resistance would be for such a reason.
Even though it was just a fake voice, it was enough.
