Chapter 1295 - The Rhythm of "Sagali"
If it weren't for the need for on-site supplies from the sovereigns of the South American continent, Chen Fei wouldn't care about the lives of those who refused to cooperate with the evacuation. Whether they were large landowners with private land, drug farmers growing hemp leaves, illegal forces selling hemp leaves, or armed smugglers, if they refused to leave, then let them stay and wait to die. Let's see if the parasites would be polite to these vegetables delivered to their doorstep.

However, even a ruthless and cunning person like Miyoshi Gakusen did not recommend that Chen Fei treat human life so lightly.

The gap between rich and poor in the South American continent is enormous. The poor are dying of poverty, and the rich are dying of wealth. The wealthy are the main taxpayers. Any group or force capable of fighting against the combat robots has some wealth. The local sovereigns are counting on them to pay more taxes to supplement the government's expenses, so they can't just give up easily.

If they weren't struggling to make ends meet, Xiao Zhuquan wouldn't have so little confidence.

So Chen Fei is now stuck in a limbo, forced to grit his teeth and keep up with this extremely inefficient evacuation operation, losing more than a hundred combat robots every day – a truly inexplicable loss.

Therefore, once attacked or resisted, the combat robot legion will immediately and without hesitation exterminate them.

Since they're being ungrateful and refusing to listen to reason, don't blame Chen Fei for turning his back on them. This is very much in line with the behavior of a "tyrant." If they're not satisfied, they can find other people to help with the evacuation and see how many people they can actually kill.

The sky above the fourth "anomaly zone" suddenly brightened, and the thick clouds were easily pierced by the intense, high-density energy beam, which plunged into the 400-kilometer-diameter "anomaly zone".

Even though the edge of the "abnormal region" can distort light, it cannot resolve the destructive energy gathered by the starlight. Even though the Tyndall effect causes dazzling scattered light to burst in all directions, and the accompanying high temperature is enough to melt steel and rock, everything is ignited, and everything, whether it can burn or not, bursts into flames.

Countless monsters and "pod ships" within the "abnormal zone," including the "black vines" that took root and competed with native Earth plants for nutrients, were all annihilated. The number of monsters and "pod ships" that had a chance to escape the "abnormal zone" decreased rapidly at a visible rate.

The data chart curves compiled in real time by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" continued to decline, which made everyone on the bridge of the "No. 2 Command Ship" breathe a sigh of relief. This information will also be shared simultaneously with the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee and various sovereign states.

At the same time, the battle situation in the other three abnormal areas and the extraterrestrial space rift will also be synchronized to Chen Fei, making it easier to control the overall situation through the integration of global battle information.

"It seems the situation isn't too bad! The parasites haven't taken the opportunity to attack Star Systems 1 and 2."

Langdon also paid attention to the two star systems controlled by Chen Fei. After eliminating all the biological space motherships, the entire star system had no decent resistance. Even the "Emerald Star" of the No. 1 star system still had some monsters and mutants deployed by the Blue Star civilization. Eliminating these insignificant scourges was just a matter of Chen Fei's mind.

"In the blink of an eye" is not an idiom here, but a verb, meaning to resolve something instantly in a real sense.

"No! The strategic focus of the 'Sagarli' civilization has always been Earth; the battle here has only just begun."

Chen Fei had also been monitoring the situation of star systems 1 and 2, but there had been no unusual activity.

If the "Sagarli" civilization can conquer Earth, it will eventually be able to reclaim Star System 1 and Star System 2, but that's at least three to five hundred years from now, and he can't worry about that much.

Three to five hundred years from now, we probably won't even be able to find Chen Xiaoer's grave.

Is 'Sagali' still watching this place?

Louis Langdon asked in bewilderment, then realized, "Ah! They are for the souls of mankind!"

The blue planet, possessing a vast amount of human soul energy, is clearly far more valuable than the two star systems from which not a trace of soul energy can be found.

Chen Fei snapped his fingers and said, "That's right! The Slan Dynasty has confirmed the existence of the human soul. Our values ​​are completely different from those of the 'Sagari,' so we cannot judge the behavior of these parasitic species based on our understanding. However, the 'Sagari' civilization's offensive pace seems a bit too fast. Has the staff team considered the reasons?"

From the very beginning, the "Sagali" civilization has been probing the Earth civilization in various ways, and the intensity of these probing efforts is constantly increasing.

S-class ability user Yan Ling forcibly sealed the "wormhole cloud" and restricted the entry of "Sagarli," beings of the divine or higher class, into the solar system at the cost of her own lifespan. This did indeed quiet these parasitic species for a while. However, their resurgence has caused Chen Fei to reconsider some of his deductions about the "Sagarli" civilization.

The genetic lifespan of individuals in the "Sagarli" civilization far exceeds that of humans. Even the lowest-ranking soldiers have a longer basic lifespan than humans, and with the replenishment of soul energy, they can live even longer.

With a human lifespan of less than a hundred years, even without direct combat, the "Sagara" could wear down human civilization simply by dragging it out. What good are the many heroes? Human heroes grow old, and after a few generations of peaceful life, they probably won't even fight anymore, just like now. The military equipment and technology of the Blue Star civilization are far superior to those of forty years ago, but the quality and morale of its soldiers are not as good as when it fought against the Neanderthals, the remnants of the Third Era civilization.

"Fast-paced? It doesn't seem particularly special!"

Langdon fell into deep thought. He wasn't a professional military officer, nor was he in his previous life, so it was difficult for him to keep up with Chen Fei's thoughts.

The staff team had seriously considered Chen Fei's question. One of the team members, as a representative, said, "There might be three reasons for such an urgent attack!"

"Speaking!"

Chen Fei adopted a listening posture, even though he had some judgment, he was more interested in hearing other, perhaps different, opinions.

One person's plan is short-sighted, but many people's plans are far-sighted; three mediocre generals are as good as one Zhuge Liang. This is precisely the role and responsibility of the staff team.

"First, in the eyes of the 'Sagarli' civilization, Earth is nothing more than an insignificant target that can be taken easily. So it makes no difference whether we take it sooner or later. What we call the rhythm is just a matter of the other side's decision."

This inference is based on the premise that the "Sagarli" civilization is incredibly powerful, even beyond the imagination of human civilization on Earth. It's like humans poking at a tiny anthill; who cares about the rhythm? They can poke it whenever they want, or wait until later if they don't want to. But once they decide to poke it, they will definitely uproot it completely.

"Secondly, another predator similar to the 'Sagarli' civilization has also set its sights on Earth. The 'Sagarli' civilization chose to strike first, or it may be due to internal factional struggles. In any case, a competitor has emerged."

In the vast universe, among countless worlds, if there is a "Sagara," then the existence of a second predator civilization is nothing to be surprised about; it's simply a matter of zero or countless possibilities. However, the situation of Earth's civilization will only worsen. When two tigers fight over a rabbit, what can the rabbit do? It can only obediently accept its fate!
Since the soul energy of intelligent races can effectively extend the lifespan of living beings, and may also possess other special effects, it is not surprising that it has become an important resource. If the Earth civilization could also make full use of this soul energy, it would probably be even more ferocious than the "Sagali" civilization.

"Third, the soul energy within the 'Sagarli' civilization is in short supply and urgently needs to be replenished, so the harvesting has become urgent."

Compared to the first two possibilities, the third possibility is actually more favorable to the Blue Star civilization. "Sagali" is not immortal. Without the replenishment of soul energy, the potential of the entire civilization will be visibly reduced. Perhaps the Blue Star civilization will have the opportunity to outlive the opponent in three to five generations or even more than ten generations.
