Tang Yue looked at the letter in the old cat's hand in a daze, and suddenly shook his head and sneered.

"Why is this thing coming now? What does it want to tell me? The disappearance of the Earth was just a trivial accident? If they want us to live, let us live, and let us die if they want us to die? Are we just tiny ants? Is there really no meaning for us to exist at all? ”

The old cat stared at him.

Tang Yue became angry, he snatched the letter from the old cat's hand, crumpled it into a ball and smashed it on the floor, "Pay me an earth?" Paying me seven billion? Is there so much life on Earth that it is like a toy to them? Human civilization is actually not worth mentioning, if I smash one, I will compensate you for one? ”

In Tang Yue's view, this letter was full of contempt and contempt from the inside out.

Looking at the rhetoric and tone, the disappearance of the earth is just an operational accident, and there are still 500 million planets that evaporate with the earth, how big is this? If you don't have one, you can pay for one.

"And what am I? What is Mai Dong? What is the ...... of so much suffering we have endured" Tang Yue slowly squatted down, covering his face, his voice choked, "What are we living so desperately for now, what is the meaning......

"Nope." The old cat walked over, stood in front of Tang Yue, held his cheek, and collided with him with his forehead, "Tang Yue, it's not like this, it's not like this." ”

Tang Yue raised his head.

"That's the meaning." The old cat's big eyes sparkled in the shadows.

"Meaning?"

"yes." The old cat buried Tang Yue's head into his arms vigorously, "If you don't survive until now, then this letter is undoubtedly a piece of waste paper, no matter where it comes from, it is precisely because you see it that it has practical significance." Its appearance does not tell us that there is any advanced civilization in this universe, nor does it tell us how advanced and powerful the other party is, nor does it tell us that the existence of the earth and human beings is worthless. ”

Tang Yue leaned his head on the old cat's arms and asked in a low voice, "Then what is it talking about?"

"It tells us...... "The old cat hugged Tang Yue tightly and leaned his cheek on his forehead, "whether it's you, Miss Mai Dong, your existence, your persistence, your struggle, your efforts...... It's all meaningful, Tang Yue, it's all meaningful. We have worked so hard and so desperately to survive until now, we have overcome so many difficulties, and all the disasters and sorrows we have experienced will eventually have results and rewards. ”

"It doesn't deny the value of our existence, because you're still alive, so there's hope for the future." The old cat whispered, "That's what this letter says." ”

Tang Yue opened his mouth.

"Is my life meaningful?"

"Yes."

"Mai Dong's life is also meaningful?"

"Yes."

Tang Yue's body trembled, he buried his face in the cat's hair, held its shoulders hard, and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying.

"I ...... Aren't we worthless reeds? Not a scrappy cupboard? I...... Is our existence meaningful? ”

"Yes, Tang Yue, Miss Mai Dong......" The old cat slowly patted Tang Yue's back and whispered, "Our hard cry...... The world has been heard. ”

On the icy eve of despair.

Tang Yue cried bitterly.

This ruthless universe finally leaned down and gently hugged the man, kissed his forehead, and said to him:

You are not forgotten by the world.

“88.2°E，17.6°N。”

"Eighty-eight degrees east longitude, seventeen.6 degrees north latitude, this position is within the Ihidi plain, very close to us, very close, very close." The old cat found the coordinates on the map and buried his head in measuring them with a ruler, "It's almost at our doorstep, it's in the northeast of Kunlun Station, that is, in the direction of the Great Plains of Utopia." ”

The old cat turned to the northeast direction, stretched out his paw and pointed.

"It's in that direction."

"How far is it from us?"

"The straight-line distance is about ......," the old cat calculated, "two hundred and eighty kilometers." ”

"Be more precise."

"I am using the 3D modeling map of the Yihidi Plain left by Lao Zheng, but fortunately, there are no major terrain fluctuations in the Yihidi Plain, and the calculation results are not very wrong...... The exact distance is 283.1 km. "If we were to get to this location and ride a Martian stray dog, the average Martian day would only be 30 kilometers at most, and it would take at least nine days." ”

"We'll leave tomorrow." Tang Yue didn't want to wait for a day.

"Not tomorrow." The old cat shook his head, "We need a day to prepare, we need to overhaul the Martian stray dogs, disassemble and empty the experimental module, bring enough food supplies, bring enough fresh water, bring solar panels, and finally say goodbye to Kunlun Station." ”

What the old cat said makes sense, Tang Yue is too impatient, the distance of two hundred and eighty kilometers is indeed at the door of the house on a cosmic scale, but for them this is an unprecedented far door, with the speed of a Martian stray dog, they have to climb slowly for nine days to climb to the destination, from beginning to end without anyone's assistance, any accidents have to be solved by themselves, and this time Tang Yue also has to go together, so the preparation must be complete and sufficient.

Tang Yue pressed his palm against the inner wall of the Kunlun Station hall and breathed a sigh of relief.

He and the old cat both knew it, in fact, they knew in their hearts that they would not be able to come back this time, and this was destined to be a one-way journey with no return.

There are a total of six units of emergency oxygen generation devices in Kunlun Station, and the longest use time of an average oxygen candle is 40 hours, and the six can be used for a total of 240 hours, which is less than ten Martian days. In other words, Tang Yue's oxygen reserves are seriously insufficient, and at most he can barely support until he reaches his destination, but there is absolutely no excess oxygen to return to Kunlun Station.

Neither he nor the old cat knew what exactly would be on this coordinate, and there would be a spaceship waiting there? Or is there an office with a sign on it? Or maybe it's empty and empty, and the letter is simply playing with them - it's an adventure, and once you set out, there's no way back.

Tang Yue asked the old cat to bring a shovel, if they unfortunately lost their way and missed the target, or if there was nothing on this coordinate, then the old cat could dig a pit on the spot and bury Tang Yue's body there.

No matter from which point of view, this will be the last part of Tang Yue's life, he set off in a completely unknown direction, holding a one-way ticket in his hand, to a destination that no one knows.

No one knew what was waiting for him there.

Wish.

Or death.
