CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 280: THE ANCIENT PAST

While everyone from the old team was relieving old memories, the new members felt as if they had watched the most realistic sci-fi movie ever created.

However, listening to what those few people were saying, this didn’t seem to be a movie at all. They were talking as if it was reality.

But how could something so unbelievable be reality?

Seeing how serious they were as they discussed, Mr. Flames felt his curiosity overcome his fear and reverence of Lu Zhen and decided to ask the question everyone was afraid to ask.

"Mr. Lu, what we just saw on the water screen. Even though it was my first time experiencing something like that, I want to confirm, was that a movie?" Actually, from the conversation these people were holding, they could already tell that this wasn’t a movie.

However, as humans, they were unwilling to accept something so bizarre as being real. So, they hoped that everything they just saw was a fantasy.

How could Lu Zhen and the others not understand their thoughts? However, they had to be a wet blanket and slap them with reality.

Before Lu Zhen replied to Mr. Flames, Zai Zai had already jumped to reply to him.

"You can forget about your thoughts. That is not a movie. That is a reality that happened thousands of years ago and nearly caused the extinction of humans.

As you just saw, we were part of the team that fought to preserve what was left of humanity.

You also saw the commander there. Everything you saw and much more is a reality that happened and is repeating itself.

Because we didn’t know how to deal with things and we had some high-ranking officials turning their backs on us and betraying us, we were almost wiped out completely.

It was because of the construction of that city and the sacrifice of Commander Leng that humanity managed to survive and establish themselves again in a new space. Which is this current earth.

However, as you can see with the current situation of zombies and changes in weather, the situation is repeating itself.

Traitors have already betrayed us and aliens have already invaded earth.

We had not thought of this as in the last war, aliens came later on after the human population had been reduced significantly by zombies.

But only the aliens can cause such drastic changes in the weather because they cannot survive well in an environment that is comfortable for humans.

At the same time, humans cannot survive in a comfortable environment for the aliens.

That’s why we just realized that the aliens must have already invaded long ago." Even though he was a bit long-winded, Zai Zai was detailed.

"You mean to say that we are not just dealing with zombies, but other humans and aliens too?" The space superpower girl asked with a trembling voice.

She of all people really wished that this was a simple nightmare and she would end once she wakes up.

However, reality never sympathized with anyone.

"Yes, and people like Commander Qui who were traitors in their past lives have already betrayed us in this life already.

Those experiments they were conducting on you was to find a way to make their subordinates stronger so that they could lend some strength to the aliens and eliminate their fellow humans.

So, you understand why we must fight them even if it means dying trying, right?" Momo explained everything else gently.

Even though her voice was gentle, the things she said had nothing to do with the word gentle.

But the few escapees understood what was at stake. Even though they were afraid, they couldn’t just sit still and watch their world destroyed.

What would happen to future generations?

"I have a question." The guy with super-strength raised his hand as if he was in class and seeking permission from the teacher to speak.

"Go ahead." Ouyang Jin gave him permission to ask any questions he had.

"If these things happened so many years ago, how can you guys remember them and even show them so clearly?" When he asked this, the others also came back to their senses.

Yes, why could they remember things that happened so long ago so clearly? They were clearly very young, so what was happening?

Ouyang Jin had expected them to ask this after thinking things through and was ready to answer.

" You must have realized from those images that the ancient earth was more technologically advanced than the current one by far.

We had methods we could use to store these happenings in a seeded stone, otherwise known as meteorites.

They would have our memories and other types of knowledge. We also underwent a consciousness harvesting and memory storage procedure to keep our consciousness and memories intact even if we die.

It was also this procedure that included a rebirth program. As long as you fulfilled all these requirements, as long as the meteorites that contained those things entered the atmosphere, we would be reborn and once those meteorites reached earth, we would regain those memories.

The procedure was painful and would practically turn one into a cripple and empty shell. However, seeing that humanity was about to lose the war, we had no choice but to do it so that if anything like that ever happened again, we would have prior knowledge and know how to deal with it.

In ancient earth we lacked experience, coupled with the traitors actions, we could never have won.

You also saw that the aliens and some zombies were stronger than the superpower users.

However, if we have an advantage, the second time might be different.

That’s why we used that procedure to preserve memories which you just witnessed." When Ouyang Jin finished explaining, the two groups of people had different reactions.

For the older members, they remembered what they had to understand just to make sure that if something like happened ever again, then they could still fight side-by-side with their two commanders.

The new members on the other hand were touched. They didn’t expect that for the sake of humanity, these people wouldn’t hesitate to turn themselves into waste just so that they had another chance to save humanity.

That wasn’t something any average Joe would do.
