45: Chapter 45 Gemini Natives, Doing a Good Deed Every Day

Just as the leader was sighing with emotion...

They never expected that Captain Qin Hao and the others would double back and surround them.

"You... how did you come back?" These figures were instantly shocked; this was definitely not good news!

With Captain Qin Hao and Rao Shuqing present, they naturally knew someone was coming.

So they had feigned a retreat while actually setting up an ambush. After Captain Qin Hao and the others surrounded them, they sized them up.

He wondered aloud, "These people are a bit special. They don't seem like humans from Blue Star. Could they be natives of this planet?"

Rao Shuqing and the others were also very surprised; they had never seen humans like this before.

These people had faces like elves with long ears, yet they had white hair. Weren't elves usually blonde and blue-eyed?

However, those two white-haired girls were quite beautiful.

Bai Xueer also said in surprise, "Could these be aliens? It's my first time seeing one."

As Captain Qin Hao's group spoke, it seemed the people opposite them could understand, for some unknown reason.

Since awakening their talents, there seemed to be a universal commonality.

Hearing this, the leader frowned instantly. What do you mean, aliens? You're the aliens! We're the native humans!

The leader took a deep breath, knowing they were no match for Captain Qin Hao and his group.

He initiated the conversation, "Who are you? You aren't humans from here, are you? As far as we know, we are some of the last remaining native humans on this planet. My name is Kelinnan."

Upon hearing Kelinnan's words, Captain Qin Hao and the others were shocked. They really were natives of this planet.

Zhao Zihan's eyes widened and her mouth hung open. "Oh my god, they really are aliens."

After hearing this, one of the girls in Kelinnan's group whispered, "We're not aliens; you are."

"And why do you all have black hair? Our planet doesn't have black-haired humans."

...

Captain Qin Hao and the others felt that what they said actually made a lot of sense.

He looked at Zhao Zihan and laughed, "Hahaha, Zihan, you're the alien here, okay? Don't talk nonsense."

Then, seeing that Kelinnan and his group bore no ill will, Captain Qin Hao asked, "We arrived here by accident. Can you tell us about the situation here?"

Kelinnan was silent for a moment before continuing, "We are the native humans here. Before this, our nation had no wars or internal strife; it was a pure land."

"Until one day, Divine Punishment descended. A bomb fell from the sky and exploded in the Capital. Everyone it touched turned into zombies."

"After being bitten by a zombie, because there was no corresponding medicine, the bitten also became zombies."

"Furthermore, since our nation had no wars and no enemies, weapons were very scarce. Even swords were rare."

"In the end, our nation couldn't withstand the zombie army and fell."

"Because we were in an extremely sturdy facility researching Longevity Potions, we managed to survive."

"We only learned this news when we came out of the basement a few days ago at noon, because the zombies seem weaker at noon..."

Hearing Kelinnan's words, Captain Qin Hao and the others gasped.

Good grief, a whole nation was destroyed just like that. If they had developed guns and bullets and had an army, they might have stood a chance.

Rao Shuqing sighed, "My condolences."

They were filled with immense sympathy.

Captain Qin Hao took out a document and said something that cut them even deeper: "The reason Divine Punishment descended seems to be because your leader cut down all the primeval forests."

"What?"

"Was the longevity medicine we were researching actually the culprit?"

Kelinnan and the others said in shock after seeing the document.

They had thought they were heroes of their nation; being able to develop longevity medicine was a world-shaking miracle.

Yet they never expected that cutting down the primeval forest they depended on for survival was the start of the disaster.

Kelinnan continued, "No wonder the leader publicly claimed back then that the Thousand-Year Divine Trees contained high concentrations of 'Life Energy Liquid' and could be used to develop new energy sources—that it was a great endeavor."

"But in reality, the requirement for us was to extract Life Factors and develop Longevity Potions..."

Su Nian and the others didn't know what to say. It was a self-inflicted disaster.

After learning the reason, Captain Qin Hao lost interest in them. He said some polite words and prepared to leave. After scavenging one more round of supplies, he had to return to the Spaceship.

However, Kelinnan and the others seemed to have made a decision during their silence.

Kelinnan said to Captain Qin Hao, "You are all extraordinary people. I beg you to kindly help us. Our nation has suffered a devastating blow, and I'm afraid there's no hope for recovery."

"Please take a girl from our Gemini Star with you, in the hope of fulfilling the wish to continue our lineage..."

The group of five—two men and three women—knelt directly before Captain Qin Hao, Rao Shuqing, and the others.

He continued, "We still have plenty of food and Longevity Potions in our basement. Only we can enter. We are willing to offer them as payment."

At this moment, a petite and delicate white-haired girl stepped forward. She looked extremely frail and quite pretty, the same type of young girl as Ling Xiaoke.

Her eyes were moist; they seemed to have made their decision long ago. She pleaded, "My name is Liliya. I beg you to take me with you. I'm very capable and can do any dirty or hard work, and I eat very little."

...

Zhao Zihan, Su Nian, and the others were silent. Although they pitied these people, they didn't know how to decide.

If they took Liliya, how would they continue the lineage? Wouldn't it mean... doing that with Captain Qin Hao? They were certainly not very willing.

Or maybe they could drop her off somewhere with another civilization.

But they didn't know if once she boarded the Spaceship, she would be unable to leave.

After all, the previous rules stated that if one failed to enter the Spaceship before it took off, they would have to say goodbye to this world.

Captain Qin Hao didn't mind. He glanced at the white-haired girl thoughtfully. A white-haired alien—it felt like she came with her own buff.

[Name: Liliya]

[Awakened Talent: None]

[Race: Gemini Stars Human Race]

[Height: 156 cm]

[Weight: 43 kg]

[Beauty Score: 91]

[Size: B]

[Body Count: 0]

While everyone was in a deadlock, Rao Shuqing sighed and spoke up, "Captain Qin Hao, why don't we take her? Their situation is too tragic."

As for Kelinnan and the others, they might die at any time from lack of food or being bitten by zombies. Liliya might be the sole survivor of the Gemini Star civilization.

Captain Qin Hao was secretly pleased, but he remained calm on the surface. "I think it's feasible. Do a good deed every day, and be virtuous for a lifetime."

With Counselor Rao Shuqing and Captain Qin Hao speaking, the matter was settled. One was everyone's teacher, and the other was the captain with decision-making power.
