Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Since they don’t trust us, there’s no need to protect them.
About the secrets held by the Imperial Family, they couldn’t be disclosed to the public at this time. First, it would cause public panic, letting them know the planet they live on was about to suffer energy depletion. They would get so frightened they would scatter in all directions immediately. In such a situation, it would be even less conducive to evacuation and would also give some within the Universe Alliance an opportunity to take advantage.
And by not telling them the truth, some people were being misled, but others simply couldn’t come to terms with the reality, finding it hard to leave their homeland. The latter could actually be understood.
During this period, the military and security agencies were always receiving various complaints from the public. There was even an instance when Queen Luo Manya went out... because Luo Jina had given birth, Luo Manya was visiting her sister when she was stopped by an agitated crowd en route.
Su Wan was already at the medical center, accompanying Luo Manya. When Luo Manya heard her sister’s aircraft had been stopped, she almost jumped out of the sickbed and nearly dropped the little one beside her onto the floor!
Su Wan quickly pressed her down, "Don’t get excited. Let’s find out what exactly happened. You’ve just given birth, you need to rest well."
Luo Jina was still very agitated, "Are those people out of their minds? Why surround my sister? Those willing to leave should leave, those who don’t want to move should stay; where is all this nonsense coming from! Won’t my sister be in some sort of trouble?"
Su Wan looked over and saw that Queen Luo Manya’s aircraft had been forced to stop in the square of the medical center, not far from here. She said, "I’ll go fetch her."
The next moment, Su Wan disappeared on the spot.
After some time to recover, short distance instant teleports were still within Su Wan’s capabilities and wouldn’t cause any severe effects on her. However, when Su Wan suddenly appeared inside Luo Manya’s aircraft, it gave her quite a scare.
It also frightened the attendant next to her.
But seeing that it was Su Wan, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Su Wan said, "I’ll take you directly to Jina. Once the others see you’re not here, they won’t keep surrounding us."
"Have your superpowers recovered?"
"They’ve mostly recovered."
"Good."
Luo Manya left some instructions with her attendant and then let Su Wan use her spatial superpower to whisk her away.
Shortly after, Luo Manya addressed the public through a live media broadcast, saying she was already visiting her sister at the sanatorium. Meanwhile, the crowd outside the aircraft, realizing that only the attendants were present without Queen Luo Manya, slowly dispersed.
Queen Luo Manya faced such events with great calm, whereas Luo Jina was very agitated, "Sister, are you alright? It’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for you coming to see me, this wouldn’t have happened!"
Luo Manya said helplessly, "Foolish girl, what nonsense are you talking? You’re giving birth to a baby, how could I not come see you?"
"A projection video would’ve been fine."
"Would that be the same?"
Perhaps because Luo Manya remained so composed, Luo Jina gradually calmed down as well. While the doctor was checking on Luo Jina, Su Wan said to Luo Manya, "You should discuss this incident with Zilan when you get back. Those people are getting more and more agitated; a strategy needs to be devised."
"Yes, Zilan is already working on it."
That evening, when Su Wan returned to the Commander’s residence, she took care of the children before opening the light computer and asked Vermilion Bird to search for the news on it.
As expected, most of the news on the Star Web was occupied by the migration issue.
Vermilion Bird said, "Data analysis from the web indicates that roughly one-third of the people agree with migration, one-third oppose it, and the remaining people are actually just watching."
"It’s human nature. Back in the day, Ancient Earth was no longer suitable for human life, but even so, when it came time to migrate to another planet, there was still hesitation and opposition."
Vermilion Bird felt very puzzled, "Why though? At that time, everyone should have been able to see that Ancient Earth was no longer suitable for human survival, right?"
Su Wan: "I’m not sure, it might be the reluctance to leave a familiar environment, or perhaps a fear of the unknown future."
Su Wan looked through some data for a while, and Gu Jue returned. Gu Jue kissed his delicate wife’s cheek first, "Did you help the Queen today?"
"Mhm."
"Are you feeling okay?"
Last time, Su Wan had exhausted her superpower, bringing Gu Jue back from the insect nest area, and had fallen into a coma for several days, which deeply worried Commander Gu. Ouyang Qing also checked Su Wan’s health and suggested that she better not use her superpower for the time being.
Su Wan said: "I’m fine. It wasn’t far, and I only brought one person over. By the way, Ajue, I always feel as if someone is deliberately inciting the public. This time, those people intercepting the Queen’s aircraft is just the beginning."
"Mhm, that’s why, those who agree with the migration are the citizens who trust us the most. They will be given priority in completing the migration."
"Right, it should be like that. Others might hesitate or have other thoughts, which probably means they don’t trust us to some extent. But this will reduce the population of the Empire Planet, won’t it?"
Gu Jue was lightly playing with his wife’s long hair and slowly said, "A large population is certainly a good thing, but it’s better not to have those extra people if they don’t obey."
For someone in a high position like Gu Jue or Gu Zilan, the perspective might be longer and more profound.
Su Wan nodded her head.
The next day, Su Wan got in touch with her friends and relatives and made sure everyone was on the migration list and had already received their addresses.
Gu Jue was genuinely considerate, arranging Su Wan’s family members to live very close to each other, so they could visit each other regularly in the future.
There were also the Lin Family members, who loved farming and had previously enjoyed the farm, so their place still had a large farm, and even a fish pond.
And there were some Beastmen, who would be specifically sectioned off for management, like the Mermaid Clan, the Avian Clan, and the Mammals, all divided into different areas, making it more convenient for the residents’ lifestyles.
Pure humans were mostly gathered together, but naturally, as family units, those Beastmen who had married pure humans could choose where they wanted to live, with which family member.
It’s fair to say that the entire residential arrangement was made more rational and took more into account the basic needs of the residents.
Those who clamored not to want to move, seeing everyone else moving out and getting better houses and places, suddenly became anxious. A portion of them immediately changed their minds and rushed to register.
In the end, the count showed only less than a sixth of the people still disagreed with the migration.
But, neither Gu Zilan nor Gu Jue cared about this group’s opinions anymore. Since they didn’t trust them, there was no need to move them over and accept their protection.
And so, the Empire Planet’s bustling migration continued for over two years, finally sorting everything out, except for a few who didn’t want to migrate or who had been deceived by people from the Universe Alliance. Most of the population had completed the transition.
On this last day, Gu Jue stood with his family in front of a huge Energy Stone.
This Energy Stone was always the Imperial Family’s biggest secret!
