Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones-Chapter 351: Suffering

Under Tom’s meticulous care, these Humans quickly settled down and entered a normal state of life.

Even so, there were still too many traces of their past lives left on them.

For example, facing these "native Humans" disguised as their own clones, those who had finally returned to their mother civilization would subconsciously show a flattering, cautious, and slightly tense state, with their bodies subtly stiffening.

If not led by a native Human, they would try their best to avoid touching various facilities within the spaceship, and usually preferred to stay at home, avoiding going out and avoiding contact with others.

They were like a group of small beasts, traumatized and tormented, seemingly only able to find a sense of security by hiding at home and not contacting anyone.

Tom saw this and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

What kind of lives did these compatriots live in the Purple Moon Civilization...

In this situation, Tom had no good solution and could only let them adjust slowly.

During this process, Tom also tried to use his ability to connect with clones to connect with these orthodox Humans, to see if he could control them, but ultimately failed.

It seemed his ability was limited to himself and his clones, and could not affect other life forms.

"It doesn’t matter."

Tom thought, "Connecting with the consciousness of compatriots and controlling them would be too terrifying for normal people.

Let them live in peace; it’s enough if I can connect with my own clones."

Tom had already formulated a comprehensive plan for these compatriots, planning to let them gradually expand their population, increase their numbers, improve their genetic modification level, enable them to master more knowledge, possess higher scientific research capabilities and independent living abilities, and ultimately restore Human Civilization.

At that time, his special form of existence could be revealed to them. Then, with the orthodox Human Civilization plus himself, the pace of civilization’s development would surely be faster.

At this moment, Tom’s fleet had already embarked on its journey back to the Southern Fish H11 System.

There were still billions of other species carrying out material collection, battlefield cleanup, and wreckage salvage work there.

When he returned, about twenty to thirty percent of this work would probably be completed. After another ten-odd years of work, he could set sail again and launch a new pursuit of the Purple Moon Civilization.

About half a year passed like this.

The orthodox Humans living in the residential spaceship finally stabilized their emotions a bit and began to slowly adapt to their current lives.

Tom’s long-planned intelligence gathering work could finally begin.

Adopting an extremely gentle, casual approach, trying not to trigger people’s stress responses, intelligence gathering work quietly began in an invisible manner.

A large amount of intelligence, like rivers flowing into the sea, gradually converged into Tom’s mind.

First, there was a large amount of intelligence regarding life in the Purple Moon Civilization.

"When we were in the Purple Moon Civilization, all Humans were confined in one building, strictly forbidden to leave, like being in prison.

Food and water were supplied through pipes at fixed times every day. There, we were like livestock being raised."

"Sometimes there would be performance assignments, and Purple Moon would take us between different spaceships. They had very high demands for performances, requiring us to always be spirited and not show any pain or sadness."

"If we were slightly disobedient, Purple Moon would use various methods to torture us, and even kill us in front of everyone."

"They don’t treat us as Humans at all. To cultivate more Humans for their amusement, they would forcibly demand us to breed, and children would be taken away immediately after birth, not even allowing us a glance."

During their narration, people often cried uncontrollably and had emotional breakdowns due to excessive fear and grief. Whenever this happened, Tom had to interrupt his questioning and carefully comfort them before they could gradually calm down.

Listening to all sorts of incredible, inhumane stories, anger gradually accumulated in Tom’s heart.

My compatriots, whom I cherish as treasures and painstakingly sought, are treated like pigs and dogs by your Purple Moon Civilization? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

They are Humans! They are intelligent life forms with wisdom and self-awareness! Not unintelligent livestock!

"Purple Moon Civilization... you are very good, very good. The intelligence the Recorder Civilization gave me was indeed correct. If I don’t destroy your civilization, I won’t be able to vent this anger..."

Tom’s resolve grew even firmer.

Beyond this intelligence concerning the Purple Moon Civilization, Tom finally understood how these people were abducted by the Purple Moon Civilization.

—Although most of the current Humans were born in the Purple Moon Civilization and had no memory of Earth and Human Civilization, there were still a few who had undergone genetic modification by the Purple Moon Civilization and survived from Earth until now.

This intelligence came from them.

"At that time, I remember Earth was still using the Common Era calendar, probably, probably..."

He thought hard, finally recalling that distant era: "It was probably around 2025. There were still many countries on Earth.

I was a regular worker, and one night I was on the night shift. After work, I was walking home at night, and suddenly I fainted. When I woke up, I was in a room decorated entirely in silver, and then... I became a slave."

"The year I was taken should have been 2012, and the process was similar: I suddenly fainted and woke up here."

After surveying thousands of Human compatriots who had survived from the Earth era until now, Tom discovered that the years these Human captives were taken were concentrated between 2000 and 2100, a period of 100 years.

Combining various statistical calibers, during this 100-year period, approximately 1 million or more Humans were abducted in total.

An average of ten thousand people per year.

Tom knew that in that era, Earth was not yet unified, and many places were experiencing war. The total number of missing persons per year probably exceeded a million.

A mere ten thousand people would not cause any stir at all.

According to the Common Era calendar, the time when he lost contact with Humans and Human Civilization as a whole disappeared would be around 2150.

"The Purple Moon Civilization probably arrived in the Solar System around 2000, but did not show themselves. Instead, they hid and covertly captured some Humans as slaves.

After 100 years, the Purple Moon Civilization left. Fifty years after the Purple Moon Civilization left, Human Civilization perished, or rather... disappeared.

And for approximately a thousand years, the Bluetoth Civilization, through remote observation, was unable to observe any signs of life in the Solar System, thus concluding that the Solar System was an uninhabited solar system.

Later, hundreds of years after the Humans disappeared, I visited Earth and found no traces of Human existence on Earth, which aligned with the Bluetoth Civilization’s observations.

So... what role did the Purple Moon Civilization play in this process? Why did the Bluetoth Civilization believe the Solar System had no intelligent life, yet the Purple Moon Civilization visited the Solar System and abducted so many Human captives?

What exactly do they know, and what have they done?"

The intelligence obtained from his Human compatriots not only failed to resolve Tom’s doubts but made him even more perplexed.

"I must catch up to the Purple Moon Civilization and destroy them."

Tom’s resolve was firm: "Firstly, for revenge; secondly, to obtain intelligence; and thirdly... to plunder all their technological data and advance to a Gravity Civilization!"
