The only eternity
"Mitchell!" Everyone looked at Mitchell, who jumped from the window on the 21st floor
"I've heard that below the 7th floor, the lower it is, the safer it is. Above the 7th floor, the higher the safer," Xu Jiayi said
"Really," Xu Bao asked
"When a cat jumps from a height, the variability of its body shape increases the resistance to its free fall, making it less likely to get injured. But Mitchell is about the same size as Garfield. It's basically impossible to survive," Wu Yiquan said
"Then what are you waiting for, let's see if she can be saved. The first pet I had, I can't die like this" Xu Jiayi collapsed and knelt on the ground
"Right now!" After saying that, the six people immediately went downstairs. Charlie Tong comforted Xu Jiayi at home
Six people downstairs immediately found Mitchell lying on the ground, bleeding from his mouth and suffering from trauma all over his body
"Take the pet to the hospital!" Endo shouted
Half an hour later
I saw 8 people waiting outside the operating room of the pet hospital. A few people sat on the benches, others leaned against the wall, and no one dared to speak anyway
The nurse came out of the operating room at this time "Your cat has multiple ruptured organs and died the moment it hit the ground. Please mourn and change"
"Huh?" Xu Jiayi said disappointedly
Everyone returned to the apartment with bad news
David Wang, who was sitting on the sofa, said, "That's it."
"yes, it was so sudden"
"It's all our fault, because we keep arguing over a few minor issues," Endo said
Everyone is either staring at the floor or the ceiling
"What to do if the cat dies?" David Wang asked
At this time, Charlie Tong and Xu Jiayi came over from next door, and Charlie Tong put his hand on Xu Jiayi's shoulder to comfort her, "I guess, the most reasonable thing is to bury it"
"Don't cry, we'll treat you to dinner later," Zhou Zhengyan said
"This feeling is really deep," Qian Yunen sighed
"No, I do regret it. But what I wonder is, will we also be like Mitchell in the future, and people will die and the lights will go out? Mitchell asked
The rest of the people thought for a moment, "How did you come up with this?" Wu Yiquan asked
"Haven't you thought about where you'll go when you die?" Xu Jiayi asked
"Of course I thought about it. Just like Wu Yiquan said in his previous speech, there is no immortal life, but we can live a wonderful life in the rest of the time," Qian Yunen said
"So there will still be a day when everything will end" Xu Jiayi rushed into her room without looking back, and everyone didn't have time to dissuade her
After Wu Yiquan saw Xu Jiayi enter, he thought about it and said, "Actually, I'm most afraid of death. Why do I like to leave a little light when I sleep, because I don't want to live in complete darkness, after all, death is complete, eternal darkness. The only thing we can be sure of forever in this world is death. ”
"Why are we talking about such deep questions?" Charlie Tong asked
"No one wants to be sad in an apartment, but Mitchell's story makes us unhappy," Endo said
"Let's go back to the room" After Xu Bao finished speaking, he was the first to go back to his room
The remaining six also returned to their rooms with heavy steps
In his room, Wu Yiquan opened the quilt and threw himself in, crying inside
David Wang turned on his computer and watched a YouTube video about immortality technology, thinking that it might become a reality in the future
Zhou Zhengyan pretended to be strong, but he still opened his mobile phone with a sad mood
Xu Bao took out a lot of snacks from his cabinet and wanted to make himself happy with sweets, so he began to overeat
Qian Yunen and Endo sent messages to Xu Jiayi in their rooms to comfort Xu Jiayi, but Xu Jiayi did not answer anyone's messages
Xu Jiayi sat on the bed, with photos with everyone in her hands
That's when she heard a knock on the door
Xu Jiayi asked, "Who?"
"It's me! Tom Charlie! Charlie Tong shouted outside the question
"Why?"
"Can I come in?"
"No way!" Xu Jiayi said
"I'm here to enlighten you!" Charlie Soup
"Unless you can change reality, you don't want to come in"
"Maybe I can't change the facts, but I can tell you a few projects that can make humans immortal in the future!"
Xu Jiayi was tempted, and it was good to think that someone could chat with her
As soon as Xu Jiayi opened the door, Charlie Tong immediately came in and closed the door
"I'll tell you, I'll buy you your favorite snack, and I'll be there the day after tomorrow. And concert tickets," Charlie Tong said, taking a chair and sitting down
"Didn't you just talk about immortality?" Xu Jiayi asked
"That's all me lying to you, how is it possible?" Charlie Tong said
"David Wang, who is keen on science and technology, said that many technologies can achieve immortality"
"Do you think we'll be alive that far? Not to mention how long it will take to achieve this technology, it will take to mass production. Now it's just a scientist's vision of this technology," says Charlie Tong
"Even if you don't live forever, you can still live until that day."
"And what will happen then? Someday, the earth will not be able to withstand so many people. One day, even in 4 billion years, the Earth will be gone. Is there anything other than death that can last forever? ”
"Charlie Thomp!" Xu Jiayi stood up "Do you just think that one day, I watch you die, or I watch you die?"
"Xu Jiayi, when the time comes, I have to choose one of the two, I will definitely sacrifice myself in exchange for your life. But the reality is brutal."
"Do you want to see our friends grow old like that, and end up not breathing, seeing nothing, not conscious? Finally, let the death certificate be a piece of paper and a tombstone instead of yourself? A living person is not a piece of paper that can be replaced. What's more, cats like Mitchell don't have such a thing as a death certificate. No one cares if it lives or dies. In the end, we will also be declared dead by the hospital after the heart stops, buried and declared disappear by society, and finally the last person in this world who remembers us will also die. Is there anything else in this world that proves that we ever existed in this world? ”
Charlie Tang listened guiltily to Xu Jiayi's vent, "Okay, don't you want to achieve eternal life? If no one in this world has started to act, just write an article and talk about it. Then I guess I am the only one who has the financial resources to do this" Charlie Tong shook Xu Jiayi's hand "We build the best laboratory, invite the best scientists, and wait for this day to come." And, you're guaranteed to live to that day. I promise, if I can't, I'm not qualified to grow old with you. If someone dares to demolish the apartment, no matter what I do, I will kill him with all my cash."
Xu Jiayi smiled, "When does it have to be smashed?"
The foreheads of the two were pressed together
The greatest achievement of mankind in the future will not be in science and technology, but in medicine
Hopefully, this chapter will help you gain faith, overcome the pain of death, and hope for a better future
