Chapter Twenty-Six: Difficult
Zhong, Thunder and Rose didn't actually go far. The road is getting sticky. There seems to be a force pulling under the alloy wheels. There is also an invisible resistance ahead, which cannot be seen or touched.
"Ray, what's the reason, it wasn't like this two days ago."
"I haven't received a warning from me for the past two days."
"Rose, is it also an external force?"
"Zhong, it can only be explained in this way. The Earth's internal magnetic field changes, and the strength of the cosmic magnetic field increases... Any slight change is something that humans cannot resist without high technology. We are equated with primitive people living in modern times. Ray said heavily.
"Rose, this metaphor is not good, we should not be so weak. The reason why bicycles can't overcome geocentric magnetism is because of the material. As for the resistance, it is likely that the beep is coming from the same place. If the other side is hostile, the disaster on the ring will be even greater. "
"Ray, I agree with your reasoning. Interstellar warfare is an act that can destroy the whole. Including the creatures that provoke the war are not immune. "
"Zhong, Lei, I understand this truth, but looking back on history, as far as the human beings on the earth are concerned, aren't they also awakened in self-destruction again and again? Now the earth has become a cradle and is pregnant with a few poor human creatures. And the other creatures that once lived with humans are almost gone. Who knows whether this disaster caused by external forces was unintentional or provocative, or tentative. "
"Rose, I don't rule out the possibility you said. However, the level of technology on the earth has not yet reached that height. We should have a sense of distress, and if we are overly anxious, we will not be confused first. Ray thought about it.
"Suffered, those who remain......"
"Zhong, your worries are also my worries."
"Ray, let's go back! The big crack doesn't repair itself so quickly and is intact. People's spiritual will is more important, otherwise, it will be the human heart that will collapse with another beep. "
"Rose, I want to go back and re-energize everyone's fighting spirit. Such a situation also does not allow us to go far, which is equivalent to doing useless work. "
The group of three returned to where they had started, and it was clear that it was better to be sober than expected. The things and people in the base camp have come here, and although everyone's mood is not very high, they haven't languished enough to give up on themselves.
"Zhong, why are you back? Didn't hear from the kite? Jie asked.
"The kite is out again? I didn't see it. Ray and Rose looked at each other for a moment, puzzled.
"Thunder, Rose, could it be that we are ignoring the sky?" Zhong was surprised.
"No, how can you not find it when the sky is clear." Ray was determined.
"yes, clear skies. It's been a few days, and when it's not raining, you can occasionally see aerial vehicles in the clouds. After the rain, the sky cleared, and I couldn't see anything. "
"If you don't say it, you really don't have an idea. The sky above the ring is one of the busiest roads in the air. The air and the ground complement each other, and it is a scenery on the earth. "
"The ring is high and cracked, everything has changed. It's like everything is dead. "
"Who, who's calling me?" The woman who called the dead asked a little nervously. It also eases the oppressive atmosphere a little.
"Ma'am, why did you come up with a dead codename?"
"Die, die, beg for death, fight for not to die! Raw, disabled, unborn, mending disability. This is the other side of human life on Earth right now. Death does not mean real death. Or it is only the body parts that die, with the help of high technology, human beings can live for a long time. It is not an external force that causes real death, but the will of humanity itself. "
"Die, what kind of profession do you have, my heart is bright when I hear you say this." A man with a furrow said.
"A hundred years ago he was called a psychiatrist, and now he is a soul worker." Death said lightly.
"Ma'am, you're right, it's a coward to wait for death to do nothing. Whatever caused this catastrophe and what happened to the planet. At least we're all alive, lucky to be alive. To live is to do something, in order to live and not turn into dust. Zhong sighed.
"Zhong, you are the only natural person here, and of course you can't understand the helpless pain of changing organs and leaving the energy plate. That beep just now literally destroyed the brain. It's better to live than to die! "
"Disasters happen once in a century, but life is a long stream. High technology gives human beings unattainable superiority. The side effects are negligible. If you don't have the courage to be happy when disaster strikes, then live bravely. If we didn't have the help of high technology, the vast majority of people would be disabled today. It is the environment that human beings themselves leave to their descendants that causes many people to be born mutilated. As a result, it has promoted the rapid development of the medical field. The ancestors have a saying: the predecessors planted trees, and the later people enjoyed the shade. If the predecessors did not plant trees, wouldn't the descendants not live? Death still said lightly. But those who hear cannot be indifferent.
"Incisive, dead. You can really save people's souls. "
"My profession is nowhere near as noble as you say. I thought there was no chance to pour chicken soup into people. It's just a matter of giving yourself something to do. It's quite rewarding to think about it now. Zhong, you don't come back because you want to save your soul, do you? Death suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"Of course not, hey, why don't you get up." Zhong Zheng wanted to tell everyone about the underground magnetic field, but found that almost everyone was half a cut shorter than they were sitting upside down or sitting. I can't help but ask.
"Zhong, it's not that we want this, it's a force that sucks us to the ground." Jie pressed one hand on the ground and bent his body very uncoordinatedly.
"yes, my legs seem to be welded to the ground and can't be dragged anymore." Iron legs are uncomfortable on the road.
"Zhong, my dozen ribs and back are squeezing each other to death, help!"
"Ahh …"
When Zhong fell into confusion for a while, the rose over there suddenly screamed.
"Bell, take off, take off, take off her protection... Wear. Thunder, who had also been sucked to the ground, said intermittently with difficulty.
"Huh? Why? "
"Don't, don't ask, late... of her... It's dead. "
"Ray, you hold on, I'll help her undress." Chung found that now only he could move freely without being affected. It seems that it is still stained with the light of the original body.
Scrambled to find the button on Rose's hazmat suit to help her take off her bulky clothes. The bell was hurt by the loud beep of the ring. Zhong subconsciously threw the protective suit to the ground, and the powerful Zhong himself was frightened. I couldn't help but blame myself for a while, the protective clothing must have been broken.
Unexpectedly, with the cracking sound of the protective suit, another beep sounded on the ring height. The bitter and gloomy grievances disturb people's minds and make people mad in their hearts.
Zhong covered his ears with his hands and looked helplessly at the survivors rolling and wailing on the road. For the first time, I felt the threat of the end of the world.
Could it be that he is the only one left on the silent and empty ring heights?
It didn't take long for the terrible beep to sound, and the content changed again, although it was still a beep, it was as gentle as a lullaby.
After a while, the beep beep changed again, like a cry as if someone was whispering in your ear......
And with the tutu tutu, the people who were almost crazy were quiet. They all stood up, but they all looked confused and ignorant.
Eventually, the beep turned into a distant aftersound. It's been a long, long time......
