Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start Novel - Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Please Inform Moon

“Is there no other way? We can pay Moon! I can give them every penny I have in the bank!” someone said to the wealthy Moonian.

The Moonian snickered. “Do you think your bank still exists now? How much money will you pay for a life? If Moon really sends their army, the fifty thousand Neigerian soldiers will probably kill ten or twenty thousand of them. How much are they going to pay for the loss of their lives?

“Moreover, most Moonians won’t agree to intervene when they hear this. Although I’m on Eternity now, I won’t want Moon to send its people here. It’s not worth it!”

The mood in the cabin grew heavy, and the passengers felt even more hopeless. They imagined their future life on Mars. They could only have one slice of toast and half a bottle of water daily. Even deep breaths became a luxury.

The idea made them want to commit suicide.

“What about…” Somebody looked at the Moonian wealthy man. “I think we should try it. Maybe Moon will come to help us!”

“That’s right!”

Many people chimed in.

“We should give it a go. Maybe Moon isn’t as petty as we think!”

“I think we should try it! I don’t think they are a petty nation. Maybe they’ll do things that we deem impossible!”

…

“Yes, let’s try it! Mr. Maruse, please find a way to contact Moon!”

“Moon is a generous nation! It has always taken responsibility for international affairs. There are so many people here. I’m sure they’ll help us!”

“That’s right! Moon has always branded itself as a generous nation. It’s time to show their quality!”

…

A few Moonians heard the conversation and were displeased.

“What’s that supposed to mean? Are you trying to use Moon again? Do you think it’s their duty to save you?”

“I don’t understand you people. Why do you take everything for granted? Moon doesn’t owe you anything! It doesn’t need to prove itself to you!”

“Even if Moon agrees to help you, once the Moonians know how ungrateful you are, they won’t help you anymore! You deserve to die here!”

“When you return to Earth and don’t need Moon anymore, you’ll turn against Moon again, won’t you? What do you mean they can do impossible things? Do you want Moon to fulfill your needs all the time? Moon isn’t your servant! You can’t order the Moonians around! Are you going to consume my country when you need to?”

What those people said was quite shocking. The Moonians on Eternity couldn’t stand them anymore. They would rather die here with those people than let Moon bring them back to Earth.

Of course, they hadn’t always believed in their home country, which was why they had ended up in Eternity!

They were ashamed of what they had done, but they still had a conscience. They wouldn’t betray their country again.

It was understandable that they would think that way. That was how they had been taught. Not all the countries had a history as long as Moon. Some countries still had barbaric ideologies!

Maruse grew impatient. With a wave of his hand, he said, “Forget about it. We’ll discuss it another day!”

He left the cabin with the soldiers.

…

Two and half months had passed.

The seawater receded over a month ago.

Two weeks ago, the Himmelian Pavilion and the arks of the five countries arrested 99% of the fishmen, restoring things to normal. So far, there were fewer than ten thousand fishmen left.

They were the real villains!

It wasn’t that they hadn’t been found, but they would run away whenever they were spotted. They didn’t want to recover!

They would sneak ashore during the night, killing or infecting ordinary people. They had turned into pirates!

When they were caught, they were executed right away.

After the past two months, most countries on Earth had gone back to normal. They didn’t return to the state before the catastrophe though. That wasn’t possible. Not after ten more years.

Some places couldn’t be restored within a decade. Still, people weren’t starving, and everybody had a roof over their heads. That was good enough for now.

The Moonians had moved out of the shelters under the Pegasus Grassland. When the two billion people started working, no one was as efficient as them.

They rebuilt ten badly-destroyed cities in less than a month. However, even they couldn’t restore things to once they were. They could only repair the buildings that hadn’t collapsed and clear away the water on the roads so that the cities could operate.

…

“General Marlow, we built a service tower today. The internet is back!”

By now, the internet was working in most countries. Moon and Panthera built signal towers in many places, but not the entire country was covered. One had to stay close to the tower to use the internet.

But it was enough to send messages.

“Good job!”

“But we received a message from outer space!”

Gordon asked curiously, “What message?”

“It’s a distress signal!”

The secretary sent the file to Gordon’s computer. “I think it’s from Eternity, the ark that has fled from Earth.”

“Eternity hasn’t been destroyed?” Gordon thought that the ark had disappeared into space already.

“No, it hasn’t. By the looks of it, it has reached Mars and has been there for about two months.”

Gordon laughed. “Lucky bastards!”

“General Marlow, are we going to help them?”
