Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 273: Chapter 261: The Confidence of Human Civilization!

Facing these people before him, Roddy felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

This news had come too suddenly! It was even more shocking than the destruction of the Life Empire.

After more than ten thousand years of peace, who could have imagined that the apocalypse would arrive so abruptly?

In this moment, every creature in the universe, whether they were high-ranking Spiritual Ability Users of the past or mortals who barely scraped through life, were all desperate ants struggling in despair.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Roddy adjusted his breathing and slowly said, “fellow colleagues, all the news you have just heard is not to be disclosed. From this moment onward, initiate the highest level of confidentiality protocol, and everyone’s personal terminals will now enter a restricted mode!”

Although Roddy did not give a direct answer, his words had already said it all.

At this moment, everyone fell into immense panic!

Various noisy voices kept coming.

“It’s really true, there really is a cosmic apocalypse!”

“What exactly is it?”

“Is it related to changes in the Dimension Space?”

“What happened to the Dimension Space?”

“I should have known, such a powerful Life Empire was destroyed outright!”

“…”

Clearly, not many people could withstand such an information shock, and some even didn’t want to stay here anymore. With the cosmic apocalypse upon them, what was the point of being in the company? Even promotions and wealth suddenly seemed meaningless!

“Everyone, quiet down!” Roddy furrowed his brows and roared.

A powerful aura swept over everyone in an instant, pulling their minds back from the shock of the cosmic apocalypse.

Some of the weaker ones even trembled.

The cosmic apocalypse might soon take away everyone’s future, but right now, Roddy had the power to take away their lives!

With that aura, Roddy stared at everyone and slowly said, “I have come to know some information. The cosmic apocalypse does exist and will bring a great calamity to sweep through the universe. However, we are not without a chance to survive. Under these circumstances, should you follow the company’s lead, or do you wish to struggle towards death like those mortals?”

By now, Roddy had fully understood why the top tier of the Company Alliance had hidden the news of the cosmic apocalypse. @@novelbin@@

If they did not do so, letting this news spread would utterly dissolve any semblance of order.

In which case, these powerful Spiritual Ability Users would have even fewer chances to survive.

In light of this, it was better to use lies to make these weaker beings serve them to the last moment.

At this moment, Roddy’s words undoubtedly had an effect.

As a member within the Company Alliance, even having reached a middle-level position, the people present naturally understood the power of the company.

If there were a chance to survive this apocalypse, it was clear that staying with the company offered a greater opportunity than being outside!

Suddenly, everyone became compliant and eager.

In the past, this position only represented power and wealth, but now, it clearly represented a hope for survival!

“Manager Roddy,” Yade took a deep breath. His mind was working fast, so he quickly noticed something that shocked him, “then this Human Civilization…”

“Human Civilization, I’m afraid, is very extraordinary!” Roddy recalled the words previously said to him by Director Heather, his eyes also involuntarily revealed a shocked emotion, “Human Civilization has already been elevated to the highest equal level of civilizations. All business cooperation treaties are based on the highest level, and soon, a higher-ranked Envoy will visit, but before that, we should get a basic understanding.”

Highest equal level civilization!

The moment these words appeared, everyone was stunned for a while, then also showed deep astonishment.

In the past, there were only four civilizations that had such treatment.

Now there were only three.

That’s right, it was those few strongest forces recognized throughout the universe.

Yet, the entire Human Civilization occupied only one galaxy with nine planets!

The disparity in scale was obvious.

But, remembering the words previously said by that official, they had to admit, Human Civilization indeed was incredibly mysterious.

“Considering the favor of working together, let me remind you once more,” Roddy seemed hesitant for a moment but still spoke, “Human Civilization surely possesses the ability to combat this apocalypse. Perhaps, our chance to survive might lie right here!”

Just this sentence alone made everyone’s heart flutter.

True, the company was powerful, but they were just insignificant lackeys within it.

However, at Human Civilization, they would be envoys backed by the company!

If there was a chance, they could certainly leverage the power of Human Civilization!

“Let’s go.” Seeing that morale had been boosted, Roddy straightened his clothes, adjusted his demeanor, and spoke, “continue with our work.”

When Edo once again saw this group of envoys, his eyes also brightened subtly.

Clearly, he could naturally discern the change in these people’s mentality.

Indeed, a force like the Company Alliance could not possibly be ignorant of the universal apocalypse.

Apparently, the identities they had prepared for themselves had also been successfully established.

The truly perfect identity is not established by one’s own claims, but by making others believe it themselves!

“So, what do you know?” Edo asked with a smile, looking at Roddy.

“This is indeed an unimaginable reality,” Roddy exclaimed, focusing intensely on Edo in front of him, saying word by word, “Our Company Alliance, too, has survived from the previous era to this day.”

“As expected,” Edo’s smile brightened even further, “Not surprisingly, under an apocalypse crisis, it’s better to have more allies.”

Indeed!

Roddy, observing Edo’s expression, further confirmed his own opinion!

Although Director Heather said that Human Civilization might have heard the intelligence from others, to Roddy, who was directly interacting with Human Civilization, it seemed highly likely that Human Civilization had survived from the previous era!

There were many reasons.

Such as the information they knew, and the abilities they demonstrated.

But the most important reason was this sense of ease!

Yes, that sense of ease.

As the General Manager of a Level 9 Company within the Company Alliance, he experienced immense fear upon learning of the universal apocalypse, and even an almost unbearable despair.

Yet here before him was merely a mid-level official of Human Civilization, even just at the Extraordinary Second Stage in terms of ability.

Still, he remained so relaxed even knowing about the apocalypse?

Resigned to fate?

No, that was clearly confidence!

Confidence in his ability to survive!

This confidence wasn’t just found in Edo alone, but was widely held among all those in Human Civilization who were informed!

“The trump card of Human Civilization is probably stronger than we anticipated,” Roddy’s heart began to race.

His heart had elevated the importance of Human Civilization to the utmost, at least for his personal significance, and even faintly felt like it could surpass that of the Company itself.

Subsequently, Roddy did not hesitate to reveal all the concessions for cooperation offered by the Company Alliance.

“At the highest level of equivalent civilization, it not only means concessions in business cooperation, but most importantly, access to high-level technologies and contributions under certain privileges,” Roddy was striving to enhance his own role, “The system of the Company Alliance revolves around commerce, although there are restrictions on certain special technologies and resources. However, our principle is that there’s nothing that can’t be exchanged for interest. With such status, whatever Human Civilization needs, as long as they can provide equivalent interests, trade cooperation is possible.”

This was actually one of the reasons why many powerful forces allowed the Company Alliance to establish bases and invest in their territories.

It indeed could lead to mutual benefits to a certain extent.

Of course, if the strength was inadequate, it sometimes could also bring significant impacts to the host country’s economy and technological development.

Take the prior situation of the Yodora Kingdom, for example.

The Life Empire controlled the military of the Yodora Kingdom, yet their economy was also controlled by the Company Alliance; should the Company Alliance withdraw its investment, the economy of the Yodora Kingdom would directly collapse.

Thus, they nominally had only one father, but in reality, they had two.

Of course, Human Civilization naturally did not worry about this.

“Indeed, a fine contract,” Edo smiled, “Just in time, there are six planets within our galaxy in abandoned states, and we need to bring them into operation and develop them in a short time.”

These six planets referred naturally to those civilizations that had been eliminated in the previous trial.

Originally, these six planets still had the possibility of leaving directly in the new trial, so it wasn’t good to build and develop extensively. Instead, it was important to quickly take away the useful resources.

But now, it had been confirmed that these six planets would accompany the galaxy into the new trial.

That gave them certain developmental value.

Not to mention, building factories on them would save more time than constructing space factories directly in the universe.

The value of a Life Planet was still not low.

If they could now leverage the power of the Company Alliance for development, it would undoubtedly save a lot of effort.

Even the development on the Human Mother Planet could be accelerated.

However, this was actually a part of what Roddy found somewhat incomprehensible.

Although information about the Civilization Trial had been distorted and erased, he could still see that there wasn’t much development on this planet, and many cities were only newly built.

This made the planet seem not like the Mother Planet of Human Civilization, but rather like the whole civilization had been moved here not long ago.

At that moment, Edo suddenly said, “Considering that your side has shown a certain amount of sincerity, we can also provide some intelligence, including intelligence regarding the apocalypse.”

Just this sentence made Roddy’s heart tremble fiercely.

At that moment, all he wanted was to look eagerly at Edo, as if the person in front of him was not an official of Human Civilization, but the love of his life!
