458 Withdrawal from Earth (2)

“Yes.” Cipolla nodded.

“Abandon Earth and sever all contact with Earth,” Merilun instructed. “Within three days, Earth’s territory… is not to have a single Black Moon citizen.”

Cipolla was stunned. “Give up? Teacher, can I ask why?”

“Developing Earth’s civilization only involves trillions of cosmic dollars in wealth,” Merilun said, “but if we continue developing it, it will attract Lunardo’s hostility.”

“Prince Lunardo?” Cipolla knew about Lunardo’s sightseeing trip to Earth.

“Does our Black Moon civilization need to care about Lunardo?” Cipolla whispered.

“Not now, but… it’s hard to say in the future,” Merilun answered. “Many nobles within the Primestar civilization are investing in Lunardo and the others. His brother is indeed a very impressive figure.”

“Most importantly, Lunardo is a petty person,” Merilun said with a smile.

Cipolla was stunned.

“Offending a petty person will result in him remembering this forever,” Merilun said. “Alright, execute my instructions immediately.”

“Yes,” Cipolla said respectfully.

…

“What? Abandon completely? Everyone within Earth’s territory is to leave in three days?” Captain Ennor listened to the order in disbelief. “Grandpa, we’ve invested so much. To give up now…”

“This is an order from the top.” Cipolla said coldly, “Execute anyone who disobeys the order.”

Captain Ennor’s heart trembled. Order from the top?

“Yes! I’ll give the order immediately,” Captain Ennor immediately replied.

Cipolla nodded slightly at him before the projection dissipated.

Captain Ennor’s eyes turned fierce. The order comes less than half a day after Prince Lunardo’s departure! That foolish Xu Jingming offended Prince Lunardo and caused me to give up years of investment. Thankfully, I’ve earned quite a bit over the years. At the very least, it wasn’t a loss!

“Pass down my orders. The Black Moon civilization’s garrison and all the corporations in charge of extraction will evacuate in two days. Those who disobey the order will be imprisoned,” Captain Ennor ordered his subordinates.

…

Soon, on Earth.

As they had been stationed here for years, many citizens of the Black Moon civilization had settled down. Now, all of them had to urgently withdraw after receiving an order.

“Is it that urgent?”

“We’ve lived here for 18 years. Our children have all grown up. We really can’t bear to part with this place.”

The upper echelons in charge of excavation were all cosmic citizens. They weren’t willing to suffer on Mars, so most of them enjoyed life on Earth. Now, they were forced to leave.

“Daddy, are we leaving?” Some children couldn’t bear to leave the place they had been in for as long as they could remember.

“Son, we’re returning to the Black Moon civilization. That’s our homeworld,” the father said to his son with a smile. At the same time, he frowned and instructed, “Butler, you have to pack all your items in an hour. We’re boarding the spaceship.”

“Yes, Master.” The butler was also dispatching robots to disassemble a large number of items.

Cosmic citizens’ residences were naturally very particular. There were too many luxury items.

“Mr. Foton.” An Earthling rushed over. “Are you leaving?”

“Yes, we have to leave immediately.” Mr. Foton nodded. “Moreover, we won’t be returning.”

“Mr. Foton, can you bring me and my family with you?” the Earthling asked anxiously.

Mr. Foton shook his head.

“But you promised to help me migrate to the Black Moon civilization.” The Earthling was extremely anxious.

“To be honest with you…” Mr. Foton looked at the miserable Earthling. “The higher-ups have ordered an emergency withdrawal. Moreover, they want to sever all contact with your Earth civilization. All migration plans will be revoked! Not to mention those who signed the contract, even the three Earthlings who have migrated will be expelled from the Black Moon civilization.”

“We won’t accept any Earthlings in the Black Moon civilization,” Mr. Foton said.

“Why are you doing this? You—you’re violating the contract.” The Earthling was alarmed and furious.

“As you know, the Black Moon civilization officially has the right to veto in the migration contracts. Even if the migration succeeds, you can be expelled!” Mr. Foton’s eyes turned cold. “Alright, you can leave.”

The Earthling’s heart turned cold. He looked at the smart bots around him and could only turn around and leave unwillingly.

…

“Captain Ennor, Captain Ennor, what’s going on?” Secretary General Angus stopped Captain Ennor.

After all, Captain Ennor wouldn’t stay on the ship for extended periods; he also enjoyed life on Earth. At this moment, he was also moving.

“You’re asking me what’s going on?” Captain Ennor looked at Secretary General Angus. “Why don’t you ask that genius from Earth, Xu Jingming, what’s going on with him?”

Secretary General Angus was stunned.

“I received an emergency order that our Black Moon civilization has to withdraw just half a day after Prince Lunardo’s departure.” Captain Ennor shook his head. “I believe you can guess the reason.”

“Prince Lunardo?” Secretary General Angus’s face turned pale.

“What Earth will encounter next has nothing to do with our Black Moon civilization. It’s all that Xu Jingming’s fault! That damn Xu Jingming—I never expected to be implicated by him!” Captain Ennor turned his head and ignored Secretary General Angus.

Captain Ennor’s family had already suffered a huge loss from the emergency relocation, so he was naturally in a bad mood. Moreover, he was certain that he wouldn’t be interacting with Earth’s civilization in the future. Why would he play nice with Secretary General Angus?

…

Xu Jingming stood in outer space outside Earth. He could clearly see small aircraft and smart bots flying away from Earth toward the large spaceships parked in space.

People from the Black Moon civilization are withdrawing. Xu Jingming’s gaze landed on Mars in the distance. Demolitions are also happening on Mars with no regard to the costs.

There were many large bases built on Mars. They had many interconnected instruments that could be moved or dismantled! They also packed up everything that could be taken away in a short period of time.

He sure is fast. The Black Moon civilization began to withdraw the day Lunardo left, Xu Jingming thought to himself. Lunardo really doesn’t wait overnight when exacting revenge.

…

In just two days, the Black Moon civilization’s garrison and excavation personnel had all withdrawn from Earth.

Even the only two cosmic tourists on Earth quickly evacuated when they received the news. These tourists traveling the universe had an acute sense and knew very well where danger was and where they couldn’t stay for long!

The entire solar system was cleaned out, leaving only Earthlings.
