Chapter 13: One More Thing!
L noticed M and G's expressions of wanting to speak, and took the initiative to speak.
"Well, you've taken care of my worries, and now I'm going to share your sorrows. Since it's not a matter of the cryophora plan, what else are you so sad about? It can't be that the second home planet project has failed, right? ”
It can't be that the second home planet project has failed, it is a favorite meme used by young people nowadays to show that the worst thing in the world has not happened yet, and there is still hope for everything.
Both G and M used to love to say this.
When you have no money to drink nutrient solution to survive, say this sentence and comfort yourself; Over the wall was discovered by the people of the military department, and was almost caught, saying this sentence shows that everything still has a chance; When an elder makes an unreasonable request, saying this sentence shows that the matter is not too annoying......
But now the worst has happened.
Seeing that G and M were even more speechless than before, L's eyes widened and he looked at the two of them with inquiring and pleading eyes.
"L, I'm sorry."
G stood up and gave L a hug.
"But...... The second home star project failed a year ago, but it has not been announced to the public. ”
Listening to G's words, L only felt that all the strength in his body had been drained.
She remembered that her father and mother had told her before they got into the car that they would meet again in their second home planet, and that she must have definitely grown up to be their pride by then.
But now, the second home planet project has failed, so when will she be able to reunite with her father and mother?
G helped L to sit on the couch, and M silently went to bring a glass of hot milk.
L mechanically took the milk and put it to her mouth, a little unable to drink it, she felt as if her throat was locked by something, she couldn't make a sound, she couldn't swallow anything, she could only watch the tears drip into the milk drop by drop.
I wonder if this milk will become salty and bitter? L thought to himself.
Tears will envelop everything in her heart and leave her body together, so what does her heart smell like now?
"So ......"
When L opened his mouth, he realized that his throat had dried up, as if there was a fire burning in it.
It must have been the flames of hell that burned in her heart.
Her heart is now in hell, and the world has deceived her and taken away the two people she loves the most.
"So, is the freezer plan a hoax? Deceive the elderly who have spent their lives for their home planet, as well as their beloved family members, because they have lost their value, so they have to be tricked to die, right? ”
L admits that she has never been a sunny person, her heart is dark, her views on many things are pessimistic, rational to the point of being a little indifferent, but because of the people she loves deeply, she has always tried to live a gentle life.
But now the world is going to take away the two people she loves the most.
They use vile lies, promises that will never be fulfilled, to deceive two old men who are full of pure love for the world, and make them voluntarily go to the grave because of lies.
This despicable people, why did they take the lives of good people!
What a freezer plan!
If the second home planet project fails, what is the cryopod plan? It is a shameless coaxing to deceive the elderly to go to euthanasia en masse!
No way! She couldn't sit back and watch it happen!
What kind of training camp run by scammers, and what else is necessary to participate!
She's leaving, she's going to get her father and mother back!
Thinking of this, L suddenly got up from the sofa, didn't look at M and G, turned around and was about to rush to his bedroom, but was pulled by G.
"L, don't go. One more thing, about this training camp, I was going to tell M, but I haven't had time to say it yet. You don't know what this camp is all about, do you? ”
G's tone is mournful, although she usually looks lazy, but now her tone is extremely sad, she is tired......
After tossing for such a day today, her face is still colorful, and now her eyes are swollen from crying, and she is tired.
"After knowing that the second home planet project had failed, I lay in bed for two days, wondering why we were born here when this planet was going to be destroyed. Is it just to keep dying and struggling? Why? Why don't we just not be born, and humanity will be extinct. Anyway, if you are born and want to live in such a desperate world, it is better not to be born. ”
The words of despair, combined with G's frustrated tone, actually weirdly calmed down L.
Yes, the world is already so bad, my father and mother should rather die than want to know about the failure of the second home planet project.
It was the cause that they had contributed all their youth, and they had been fighting for this cause until they were almost sixty years old, when they decided to give birth to her, and they began to shift the focus of their lives partially.
They have high hopes for her, hoping that she will be their best successor, like her older siblings, to be a part of the second home planet project, giving everything for the future of humanity until the plan succeeds.
Yes, and the older siblings, they haven't been in touch for a long time, and she can feel their exhaustion every time she contacts in the past year.
Before, she thought that their exhaustion was due to their busy work, but now it seems that it should not be.
"After lying like that for two days, I got out of bed and began to look for the military department and the space institute's plan for the training camp and related documents. Luckily, in order to facilitate communication, all the communication took place on the Star Network, and all the information was not concealed, so I saw the whole picture of this plan. ”
Speaking of this, G paused, cried for a long time, his voice was so dry......
She looked at the hot milk in L's hand and smiled shyly.
L was stunned for a moment, then handed her the milk.
G took the milk and drank it down, then continued.
"Before the second home star project was proposed, the space station found a place that was suspected to be a living planet, but the agility and sensitivity of the probe at that time were not enough to pass through the surrounding complex environment to reach there. If you want to explore further, you have to send an exploration ship to investigate. Later, because they wanted to concentrate all their resources on the construction of the second home star, the space institute temporarily shelved the plan to send an exploration ship, of course, they have been sending more advanced probes from the space station for exploration all these years. Three years ago, they had come to a surprising conclusion based on the results of long-range exploration, that the environment of the planet was very similar to that of the parent star, and that there were no signs of intelligent life. ”
Hearing this, both M and L, who were originally resentful, quieted down and quietly thought about something.
"A year ago, after the Second Home Star project was declared bankrupt, all the researchers at the Institute of Astronautics were so deeply depressed by this major blow that they couldn't even start a new project right away. So it wasn't until the beginning of the year that they regained their spirits and restarted the Explorer program. And we are the members of the future explorer team. ”
After saying this, G quieted down, got up and went to pour water and drink, and L and M stopped talking and fell into their own thoughts.
The entire dormitory suddenly fell silent.
