We. Civilization. It is.
What is our civilization?
No, there is no more to say. So, what it is saying should be—
We are the civilization.
This was said in Chinese, from the mouth of a humanoid creature.
The voice was hoarse, the tone strange, the grammar confused.
But it was indeed Chinese.
So what does the sentence "We are the civilization" mean?
Yu Liang tried to connect the information in his mind, but before he could come up with a possible guess, the humanoid creature spoke again.
"You are the monsters, no longer one of us, but tools of an alien planet."
This time its words were smoother and carried a clear meaning.
Yu Liang felt a tightening in his heart, and his mind was racing, analyzing the deeper meaning of its words.
It said that they, the egg-born humans, are the monsters, and no longer members of them.
That is to say, the egg-born humans were originally "their" members.
They...
Refers to the civilization of flesh and blood.
