I Am the Swarm

Under fear, the rationality of intelligent creatures will be affected to some extent, and it is easy to follow blindly.

Soon, the daily necessities in the major shopping malls of the Liken people were snapped up. Rickon, who had arrived, felt a little relieved, and was even more afraid of being late, but the number of the latter was far greater than that of the former, and riots gradually appeared.

Thanks again to the wartime situation, the army intervened, regularly and quantitatively distributed supplies, and suppressed the initial riots in time.

Just when Antonio breathed a sigh of relief and planned to take the opportunity to wipe out the opposition, new information was leaked.

If he is not afraid of causing greater riots and dissatisfaction, he really wants to cut off the Internet. However, although the Rikens do not have the wisdom language that water can carry a boat and capsize it, they still understand the relevant principles.

Normally, he is the most powerful person of the Riken tribe, but if he really thinks that he can command the world and dare not disobey, and stand on the opposite side of the people, Delrin's treatment is only a matter of minutes.

So, even though he was overwhelmed, he could only do his best to appease her. It's a pity that the leaked information this time is a bit too aggressive.

The Zerg persuaded to surrender!

Facing the invincible Zerg, what should the Rickon do? If the information is not made public, then there is a lot more room for maneuver. But now everything is put under the sun, under the supervision of all Rickens, leaving little room for maneuver. If one is not handled properly, there will be no escape from the infamy.

However, after all, Antonio has been in charge of the Riken Clan for more than 50 years, and his power far exceeds that of all his predecessors, His Excellency the Speaker. Since the opposition wants public opinion to bind him and keep him tied, he simply delegates the right to choose. In this way, although he is still the big head, he still complies with public opinion.

The people of the Liken tribe were stunned, they didn't expect that they could still participate in the major event that determines the fate of the whole tribe. Dear Speaker Antonio, let everyone have the right to choose, whether to surrender or not, and all Rikens will make this decision together.

A massive referendum was launched.

This historic time has diverted the attention of most people, and Antonio is very stupid and did not set a time for this referendum. As a result, the people without any information were confused. Fortunately, time is not urgent. Let's see how other Rikens choose.

In this kind of wait-and-see, the riot subsided again, and Antonio, who was gnashing his teeth, finally took a moment to fight back.

He decided to use thunderous means to destroy all the opposition, otherwise these guys don't know what kind of moths they will make in the future.

But his opponent also knew what he was going to do next, and would not give him a chance to breathe.

A new rhythm was brought up.

If you don't surrender, what are your chances of winning? Soon someone gave a professional analysis, the longer the delay, the closer to zero the chance of winning. Whether it is war or peace, the parliament must come up with a decision as soon as possible.

The trouble was pushed in front of Antonio again. As a last resort, he could only set a time limit for voting, and the voting time was limited to half a month.

But Antonio had just announced the decree, and a new rhythm came again.

If so, what is the other party's condition? Can the basic rights and interests of the people be guaranteed, and what restrictions or impacts will there be on the future development of civilization? The gap between them is very large. If the other party's conditions are not too high, then it can be considered, but if the conditions are too high, then it is better to fight to the death.

Antonio was a little dazed when he heard the news. The Zerg only showed their muscles, but they didn't say anything about how to communicate. Even he doesn't know what conditions the Zerg have.

However, he and the think tank guessed that there was a high probability that it was the ancient spaceship. Because if it's something else, they just need to eliminate the Riken tribe step by step.

Only the secret that made the Riken tribe advance by leaps and bounds was worth the Zerg's rage, but they didn't know what the secret was and whether it could be destroyed. They were worried that they would ruin this secret completely after pushing the Riken tribe into a hurry.

But if they surrender, let's not talk about the conditions, how to ensure that the Zerg can continue to abide by the agreement after receiving the benefits?

But if they don't give it, will the Zerg with absolute strength become angry?

But how can these things be said to ordinary Ricken people? Ancient spaceships require a high degree of secrecy, and even captain-level personnel mostly don't know about them. To know the specific situation, at least a military rank above general and a research department in charge are required.

The unknown of the ancient spaceship is an important weight in future negotiations with the Zerg. If it is announced like this, and more people know about it, then its secrecy will be worse. Although the Zerg looks rather wild, they are a real high-tech civilization. After defeating the Riken, it is not difficult to crack their network.

A meeting was held in the colony on the No. 2 satellite of Riken's parent star, and the participants were all of high rank. Except for some senior councilors and staff officers, even the generals of the civil and military double-star defense circle were even recalled several times.

This meeting is very important, and everyone must listen to the opinions of Liken, especially the military, and many military leaders are currently gathered on the front line.

Antonio admitted that he had a gamble, but he believed that since the Zerg wanted to persuade them to surrender, they would not attack them in a short time. Then, it shouldn't be a big problem for the stationed general to sneak away for a while.

If it weren't for the distance, the high latency of the video conference, and the lack of confidentiality, he wouldn't take the risk.

"Sir, the time is urgent, we can't leave for too long, let's get straight to the point."

At the beginning of the meeting, Antonio had just exchanged some pleasantries and made some opening remarks when he was interrupted by an old general. He curled his lips and cursed a rude man secretly, knowing that the situation on the home planet had already been reported to the front line, many things during this period had reduced his prestige, otherwise, the general would never have interrupted him like this in the past.

But he couldn't complain, and he didn't dare to take any action. At this time, these generals with real power were existences that he had to forcefully win over.

Antonio didn't continue to talk nonsense, but just expressed some of his thoughts, concerns and questions.

"No, the matter about the ancient spaceship must not be announced!" After listening to Antonio's explanation, the old general immediately spoke forcefully.

"Why? I think Your Excellency the Speaker is too careful. Our defenses are so tight that the Zerg can't get in touch with our network without breaking through the defense circle of civil and military forces and the home planet. It shouldn't be like this when they are not sure what the secret is. Attack us recklessly, before that, our network is safe."

The person who spoke was a senior member of parliament, one of the few Rikens with the highest power in the parliament except for Antonio. If anything goes wrong with Antonio, he is also one of the most likely candidates to take over as speaker.
