Chapter 1: Advent
The starry night flows, the morning dew and white belly, and it is another sleepless night.
Although in Wu Wei's view, this is just an ordinary overtime day, but in the eyes of many people, this is a memorable day, because in the distant alien galaxy, the great explorer spacecraft brought the news that countless people rejoiced, and they found many signs of life on one planet. This is a cross-century discovery, which means that mankind's dream of seeking life in the universe is about to be realized, and the most important page in the history of mankind will be opened.
Of course, not everyone is excited about this discovery, and many pessimists believe that the end of mankind is imminent, and many places are lit up all night to hold revelries in the name of doomsday celebrations. Of course, the vast majority of people scoff at that pessimism, which will undoubtedly be the greatest discovery in history, and proves that tens of thousands of years of questions about humanity are about to be answered. In addition to the two groups of people who hold extremely opposing views, there are also many people who show indifference, for whom no event is as realistic as the work of the present or the bread of tomorrow, and the discoveries in distant galaxies seem dispensable compared to the bread of the present.
In an office in a modern business building in the center of Z, a group of young people full of fighting spirit are working hard for bread.
In front of the desk, a rather young man with short hair was staring intently at the manuscript printed in the additional issue, although staying up late for several days made his emaciated face look a little tired, but there was a habit of impermanence between his expressions, his eyes quickly swept over the manuscript, and in his dark eyes, there was an unconcealable depth from time to time, flashing some sparks of inspiration.
"Brother, breakfast!" dragging the sweet voice like a lark, a pretty girl appeared in front of Wu Wei with light steps, the girl's eyebrows are like the moon, her skin is as fair as jade, revealing a cool and flawless feeling, but what makes people the most profound, but also the pair of jewel-like eyes, like the stars in the night sky flashing with a very spiritual luster, clear and smart, gentle and playful, at first glance there are still some immature and innocent faces, but they have become a rare beauty embryo.
Under the slightly loose snow-white shirt, the slightly bulging chest looms from the snow-white goose neck, which makes people think of how this little girl will be in two or three years.
However, she hadn't noticed this at the moment, and she was obediently putting a cup of hot soy milk and buns on the table of the team leader Wu Wei. Although the two are not directly related by blood, their intimacy with each other is no weaker than that of any real brother and sister.
For Wu Wei's taste, who else knows more about Wu Wei's taste, except for her who lives together. In addition to Wu Wei cooking on weekends, their breakfast is often settled at Lao Zhang's house. She naturally remembered which was Wu Wei's favorite food and which was his most taboo. However, I have to say that there is a reason why Lao Zhang's breakfast stall is doing well, and neither the taste nor the degree of affordability can be compared to those chain fast food restaurants. As breakfast was placed on Wu Wei's table, the fragrance of steamed buns immediately wafted in the office, attracting many people's appetites.
"Xiao Jiajia, you can't be partial, the old Zhang family's buns have a share. Others in the same office joked that although Wu Wei was their team leader, a few people had no scruples when it came to jokes.
"Everyone bought one, Brother Zhang Cheng, Nuo, your three-vegetarian buns. Zhang Jiajia floated like a yellow bird in front of the desk of Zhang Cheng, who was called the "male god of the fat world" in the office, and put down a few three-vegetarian buns, which immediately caused a burst of laughter in the office. Zhang Jiajia is well-behaved and lovely, sunny and cheerful, according to Zhang Cheng's words, it is a sweet and skillful pistachio in the office.
The girl in white who was like a hundred spirits, let the bright sun hit her, like a light fairy, and everyone was a little fascinated. As if sensing everyone's eyes, Zhang Jiajia turned her head, her eyebrows raised slightly, and a green smile that could not be called a grimace lifted slightly from the corner of her cherry-like mouth.
"Haven't you figured out the identity of that little girl?" Zhang Fatzi turned around, put his face to Wu Wei's ear, and whispered in a voice that only Wu Wei could hear.
"Last time, Mr. Zhang on the eighteenth floor asked me about this little girl's family history, saying that his boy fell in love with this little girl, and asked us to tell us a matchmaker. ”
"Let's talk about a fart, that little girl is only sixteen years old. Wu Wei looked at the newspaper in his hand impatiently, his mind was a little flustered, the reputation of the madman who protected his sister was not in vain.
"Alas, we got married at the age of sixteen in our hometown, and eighteen-year-old children can make soy sauce. Zhang Cheng blinked, and the smile on his face became even bigger, you kid is pure sullen.
Wu Wei glared back at Zhang Cheng, but saw that the other party was looking at him with an obscene expression, "Don't bring the uncivilized atmosphere of your family to us." But why aren't you married? ”
Seeing that Wu Wei turned the topic back to himself, Zhang Da Fat Man spread his hands helplessly, "Haven't I been among a hundred flowers, don't you get a leaf on your body, who is willing to give up a forest for a tree, I also want to contribute my strong ** for a noble goal"
"Hey, it's a bit inappropriate to go on any longer. Wu Wei glanced at Zhang Cheng and interrupted his talking.
Seeing that the topic was a little far away, Zhang Cheng also came back to his senses, "Can't even find a big man like Zhou Fang?"
"Don't mention Zhou Fang, I told her about this last time, do you know what she said?"
"What do you say?" took the last sip, and Zhang Cheng reluctantly snuffed out the cigarette butt that no longer smelled of smoke.
"She said, this Xiaoni is Sister Lin who fell from the sky, and you still want to send her back!......? That's the case, I didn't process it at all" Wu Wei spread his hands helplessly.
"Although this little girl is small, it's good to be a child daughter-in-law when she was raised" looked at Wu Wei with a squeezing face, and Zhang Cheng let out a little lewd laughter.
"Don't make a good idea, or you won't be able to eat and walk around. Wu Wei looked at Zhang Cheng's obscene expression seriously, and decided not to give him any space to use his imagination and chew his tongue.
"I don't eat it, and I don't let others see it, I really don't insult your name as a sister protector" Zhang Cheng looked at Wu Wei with disdain, looking at this wonderful friend, with his brain, living together for two years without a gun is simply an insult to the word "man", aside from it, even if it is two pieces of wood, it can spontaneously combust if it is left like this.
"No matter how noisy it is, you can't even look at it. Half-threateningly looked at Zhang Cheng, and Wu Wei unilaterally ended the conversation.
"Alas, the tyrannical things, the tyrannical things......" Of course, this is just just talking, after all, everyone in this small office, in the eyes of outsiders, is also under the name of half of the sister madman.
The tapping of the keyboard, in the passage of time, sounded wordlessly.
In this city where every inch of land is valuable, this small office on the 19th floor is the crystallization of the work of Wu Wei's small team, after three years of work, they finally have their shelter in the prime location of the city, for these young figures, everything is just the beginning. But even in this most competitive and emerging industry, they have undeniable potential, and the future is bright for all.
There are not many places in the city where you can see the sun in this time. After a while, Wu Wei put down the manuscript in his hand, and after finishing all the work, the fatigue that had resisted all night finally swept up when his mind was relaxed, and he half-rubbed his eyes, these were two manuscripts about extraterrestrial exploration and discovery, and about destruction or survival.
"There seems to be something in the sun?" The activist Zhou Yi was holding the bun and gnawing non-stop, but he didn't eat fat because he ate a lot of food until now, and muttered vaguely.
"Your eye!" workaholic Yan Xu didn't even look back, and shook off lightly, the two of them are friends in college, if they don't lose a sentence or two, they will really be bored. Zhou Yi has an active personality and is an active member of the class, while Yan Xu is a doer, but their different personalities have not prevented the two from becoming rare friends. If I have meat to eat, you must have to see it, maybe, that's probably the relationship.
"There's really something. Changing the bun to his left hand, Zhou Yi patted Yan Xu, who was working with his stuffy head, with his greasy right hand.
"It looks like there's something"
Also noticing the abnormality, Wu Wei pulled up the curtain that covered half of his vision, as if disgusted that Wu Wei's movements were too fast, and the curtain made a series of rattling sounds in protest. Although he still couldn't see it very clearly, he could already catch that in the center of the sun, there seemed to be dozens of small faint black spots. Maybe because the sun is too dazzling, Wu Wei can't see it clearly, but obviously...... That thing is getting bigger and bigger fast.
"It's just a solar flare, I don't know it......" Yan Xu muttered, still didn't look back, his fingers kept waving on the keyboard, and the keyboard crackled.
Suddenly, a silver dragon-like horse suddenly burst out from the edge of the building, and in an instant it swept in front of the window like lightning, and at the same time, all the lights in the office were suddenly extinguished in an instant.
"Ah...... Ah!!!!!h Yan Xu suddenly let out an astonishing long roar, "MMP, there is no power at the critical moment." ”
"What is the wolf howling, and let people not sleep. On the sofa, a man tightly wrapped in a blanket let out a roar, revealing a full sense of neutrality, and it was not known whether the owner of the voice was dreaming or had woken up a long time ago.
"Orange, I got up, and there was a situation. At this moment, even Zhang Cheng seemed to be aware of the abnormality, with the support of his hands, he moved out of his position slightly, he slowly approached the position of the window, and after staring slightly at the place where the training disappeared outside, he immediately looked at the sun outside.
"The dark spots seem to be getting bigger. After observing for a moment, Zhang Cheng muttered. With the same judgment as Wu Wei, his originally peaceful face gradually became a little more serious.
"Brother Cheng Wu, get up. As the youngest generation in the office, Zhang Jiajia didn't dare to shout at his seniors like Zhang Cheng. After Zhang Cheng spoke, she walked to the edge of the sofa and gently pulled Cheng Wu's quilt. As soon as the quilt was pulled, most of the orange T-shirt fell to the ground along with a burly man.
Cheng Wu almost rolled and stood up, his muscles that had been exercised for a long time bulged slightly, and he asked with sleepy eyes, "Who hit me just now." ”
The already burly figure, coupled with the dark skin brought out by the army, shaped his appearance like a wild brown bear, and the martial character in the name complemented him well, no wonder Zhang Jiajia didn't dare to call him a little orange. Compared with the former, Zhang Jiajia can only barely be regarded as a poor white rabbit.
"Orange, come here. The voice of impatience resounded in the office, and the owner of the voice spoke in a tone that was very different from the usual one, with a bit of impatient seriousness.
"Got it, I'll be right here. In response, Cheng Wu patted the dust on his body. I also know that in this office, only Zhang Cheng and Wu Wei can call him orange without fear.
Zhang Jiajia put away the blanket that fell on the ground, dusted off a little bit of the dust marks, folded it gently and simply, and walked over with Cheng Wu.
By this time, all the lights in the room had been turned off, even the laptop screen was dim, and there was a strange silence in the office that I was accustomed to.
"It seems that even the spare battery can't be used" Yan Xu, who was still immersed in the depression of power outage, muttered, as if he hadn't noticed this strange atmosphere. "I don't know how much I just saved. ”
“......”
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi, who was originally as usual, did not interject, which made Yan Xu feel unaccustomed.
"It's the spaceship......" was silent for a moment, and Zhou Yi suddenly popped out of this sentence.
"Huh?!" With a hint of confusion, Yan Xu finally turned around.
The sun is being obscured a little bit, the original black dots have gradually become clear, hundreds or even thousands of black dots emerge from the sun like a swarm of bees, looking like a huge gray stain from a distance, after a while, the stain has turned into a huge dark cloud, obscuring the morning sun that was still slowly rising, and even the light is being swallowed up by the black shadow rapidly.
But everyone knows that it is definitely not a dark cloud, and that thing has a fear that people can't refuse from the bottom of their hearts.
It's daytime, but it's like the sky falling, and the dark world is coming, which is like the end of the world.
Silent. For a moment, everyone present was speechless, and there was a strange silence in the air.
A cold air blew, and the two newspapers spread out on Wu Wei's table were scattered and fell to the ground. On the top of the newspaper, five large, striking black bodies, live or perish.
The sunlight bathed in it is fading rapidly because of the obscuration of the black shadow.
"Is this the end times? "It's just a few seconds of silence and depression, but to many people, it feels like minutes or even hours have passed. Finally someone swallowed, breaking the silence. I couldn't tell who was speaking, because whoever it was was must have sounded almost pale and depressed at this moment.
"Maybe just friendly aliens who came to visit us. Zhou Yi said this heartlessly, but the silent air made his complaints a little pale.
Because anyone can see that these spaceships, which are so large that they obscure the sky, will definitely not have any friendly intentions.
"Let's go!!!Go downstairs!" Wu Weiwei roared, startling everyone who seemed to have lost their souls.
Now we have to hurry, no matter what happens, but, absolutely, absolutely not to stay here anymore.
"Ding ......" fire bell rang at the right time.
In this building, there is a team that has worked hard like them until now. Like a giant alarm clock, the deafening sound tore through the deathly silence and woke everyone from their sleep and surprise.
The report is waiting to be sorted out, the project is still in its infancy, and the plan is about to be put into production...... Here, there is their future and present.
However, despite the countless things to be remembered here, and even their future and destiny, the most important thing for all of us present is to save their lives. Everyone knows that now is not the time to hesitate.
"Cheng Wu, protect Zhang Cheng and Jiajia. After a quick glance at all of the office, Wu Wei's voice trembled slightly.
"Yan Xu, Zhou Yi, follow!" Zhang Cheng's echo sounded.
As if awakened by Wu Wei, everyone subconsciously took action and rushed out of the door. Sudden footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and they may have been the first to act in this building.
