Chapter 4: The Crisis of Extinction
God, it's changed!
One moment it was sunny and clear, but the next moment, it was dark.
"Damn, this is ......"
Li Dao looked up at the sky suspiciously, and then, gradually opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, his expression was full of disbelief, and even the kitchen knife on his neck was ignored and forgotten by him at the moment.
Because that scene in the sky is really amazing.
Not only him, but also Liu Heng, as well as the nearby tourists who were attracted by their quarrel to watch the play, and more people in the distance, were like this at the moment, stunned in place, looking up at the sky blankly.
I saw that in the sky, the sun that was originally mighty had disappeared, and the blue sky and white clouds had disappeared and replaced them...... It's a touch of darkness.
Inky darkness.
This darkness is very great, hanging in the sky, so huge that it obscures the sky and the sun, and only at the edge of the sky, there is a faint circle of light.
If there was no circle of light, the whole world might have fallen into darkness at this time.
This unknown darkness, like a large outrageous cloth, obscures a piece of sky, blocks the rays of sunlight, and casts a large shadow on the earth.
“...... Tengu swallowing the sun? Total solar eclipse? Around Li Dao, a tourist said in a daze.
"No, it's not a total solar eclipse!"
Another middle-aged man with eyes who looked like a high-level intellectual frowned, stared at the sky and said: "The manifestation of a total solar eclipse is that the sun is obscured by the moon little by little, and the shadow area slowly increases, as if it is slowly being eaten, which is also commonly known as the tengu eclipse sun." ”
"But this time, the sun was almost instantly obscured, and the shadow was even greater than the total solar eclipse, and there were nearly twenty years before the next total solar eclipse, so this is definitely not a total solar eclipse!"
"It's an unknown, something that history has never recorded, and never even happened...... Mysterious astronomical phenomenon! ”
Hearing this, the rest of the people were in an uproar and talked about it.
"Yes, I've seen the introduction of a total solar eclipse, and I've seen pictures and videos, but it's completely different from this, and I'm sure it's not a total solar eclipse."
"It's not a total solar eclipse, so what is it?"
"Could it be a black hole? The black hole swallowed the sun, and soon the earth will be swallowed too? ”
"The sky is falling, and the world is going to be destroyed......"
The unknown makes people frightened, especially this mysterious vision of the great changes in the world, which is even more terrifying.
The darkness that covers the firmament, in front of which human beings are so small.
It is the technology created by human beings, which is becoming more and more omnipotent, and in the face of this kind of cosmic power, it is probably just a joke.
It is a relatively bold Li Dao, who is also a little scared at the moment.
"Liu Heng, are you afraid?" Li Dao asked Liu Heng.
Liu Heng, who was looking at the sky strangely, turned his head and said with an inexplicable expression: "Why should I be afraid?" ”
"......" Li Dao opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.
Well, that's a good question, I'm speechless.
The guy with developed limbs and a simple mind is really awesome, and he won't be shocked when the sky falls......
At this time, just when the human beings in the shadows were panicked and helpless and at a loss, the dark shadow in the sky suddenly changed.
I saw a ball of light, suddenly emerging on the black shadow, and not only that, it was like a fuse, causing a chain reaction, and then more and more light points appeared, densely packed, distributed on the large black shadow.
These countless points of light are like flares, and they also want to be full of stars in the night, which has a different kind of beauty, making the humans on the earth stare at the sky and grow their mouths again.
Seeing this scene, the senior intellectual who introduced the total solar eclipse before muttered to himself: "That point of light looks very much like the light after the explosion......
As if he had thought of something, as he spoke, he suddenly became extremely excited, and a smile of ecstasy appeared on his lips.
He laughed and said, "Haha, hahahaha! I know, I know, there is a meteorite in the sky, a super meteorite, just like the asteroid that hit the earth countless years ago and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, a meteorite that can cause the mass extinction of life on the earth. ”
"However, we are not dinosaurs, we are human beings, we have technology, and various countries on Earth are sending missiles into space to intercept this meteorite ......"
He danced and laughed like a happy child, and then shouted feverishly like a devout believer: "Long live science, humanity will not be destroyed!" ”
When the other people around who were panicked heard this, they immediately grabbed a life-saving straw like a drowning person, saw hope in despair, and also followed the ecstasy, waving their arms and cheering,
"Long live science! Long live science......"
The cry shook the sky, spread farther and farther, and under its rendering, more people joined the sea of cheers, dispelling the original panicked atmosphere.
Li Dao didn't cheer, because his heart was still very uneasy, and he felt that things were not so simple.
With the more and more developed astronomical science and technology, it is impossible for the relevant departments not to discover the meteorite hitting the earth, but why haven't ordinary people received a trace of news?
There is only one answer, the news is blocked from above, for fear of causing riots and panic among the ordinary people too soon.
But if it were directly announced that humanity could solve the crisis, that it could kill meteorites with missiles, and that it would be better to appease the people than to make ordinary people feel like a catastrophe was imminent? Isn't this a tormenting spirit?
The timid person was probably scared out of the heart attack just now.
Li Dao guessed that it is estimated that he is not completely sure whether the crisis can be resolved.
Also, Li Dao remembered that he had seen a report before that the mysterious and ancient Mayans had left a prophecy that the earth would be hit by a meteorite in 2020, recreating the catastrophe of the extinction of the dinosaurs, and that human beings would disappear completely.
And this year, it's 2020!
That prediction, Li Dao just laughed it off after reading it at the time, thinking it was a joke, but at present, it seems to be half accurate......
"Will the earth, the human race, really be destroyed? Will there be new intelligent beings in the future, and will they explore the footprints of human existence? ”
At this moment, many thoughts and thoughts appeared in Li Dao's mind.
And just when he was thinking about it, there was a change in the sky again.
That black shadow is shattered!
It was like broken glass, and dense cracks appeared on it, and from these cracks, a ray of light came out.
Is that...... Sunlight, the sun shone on the earth again.
"Wow, broken, broken!"
The crowd cheered, knowing that it was a missile launched by a human that had shattered the meteorite approaching the Earth.
It can be clearly seen that the cracks on the black shadow are getting bigger and bigger, and the sunlight is falling more and more, it is like a big cloth, suddenly torn into countless pieces, and these fragments are still drifting in all directions, slowly returning the sky, light, to the earth.
Humanity cheers, people get excited!
The earth finally does not have to be destroyed!
They, too, won't die!
It's just that...... What the hell is that black dot that is getting bigger and bigger?
"My day, meteorite fragments, meteorite fragments, it's coming at us!" The senior intellectual's eyes widened, and he burst into a foul mouth and exclaimed.
His face, which had been feverish and excited before, was now full of horror and despair.
And as his voice fell, the surrounding crowd was only a moment of silence, panicking...... Boiling again!
