Chapter 13: Choosing Death
Ten days later, Jones Moon's injuries were mostly healed. Although the medicine of the earthlings is not as good as that of the Joneses, the effect is still very good. The earthlings did not mistreat the captives either, and the captured Joneses, although they were kept in captivity, were all treated, and their injuries were almost healed.
"I want to see your governor!" Jones Moon, who had been silent, finally spoke on the tenth day.
Xu Yunzhi hurriedly informed Zhang Jingyi, Tang Liqing and Xiang Zidan and asked them to go to see Jones Moon together. Jones Moon smiled when the four of them appeared in front of Jones Moon together.
"I didn't expect the governor and the three lieutenants to come, I was really flattered!"
"You are a distinguished guest, how dare we not come as soon as you summon?" Tang Liqing also replied with a smile: "Your Excellency Commander's injury is almost healed?" ”
"Almost, thank you for the treatment!" Jones Moon asked, "What happened to those of us who were captured by you?" ”
"It's good," Xu Yunzhi said, "They have all been treated like you, and they are almost better...... You're looking for us today to ask this? ”
"Yes! I would like to ask, what are you going to do with us? ”
"We haven't discussed this yet," Xu Yunzhi replied truthfully: "You take care of your injuries first, and then we'll talk!" ”
Jones nodded and suddenly asked, "What kind of weapon are you using?" ”
The four earthlings looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while. The Jones people planted on that kind of weapon this time, surely they could not even dream of it. Mines are hot weapons, barely modern weapons, traps and sharpened wooden stakes and broken glass pieces in traps, which can be said to be the most primitive tools for catching wild beasts.
"Confidentiality?" When Jones Moon saw that the earthlings were hesitating, he said, "Don't keep it a secret!" ”
"Nope! No secrecy! Zhang Jingyi suddenly thought that she could use this to tease Jones Moon: "We used landmines, the most primitive bombs...... There's one more I really can't say! ”
"What is it?" Jones Moon asked.
"This kind of thing is called a trap!" Zhang Jingyi said. She details the making of the trap and tells Jones that the moon is a mechanism used by the ancestors of ancient earthlings to hunt beasts: "So I'm sorry, the Moon Commander was caught by the primitive hunting tools that our ancestors used to hunt beasts!" ”
Jones Moon was stunned, and then her face began to turn red. The commander of the army of the Jones people, who is highly technologically developed, was actually caught by the primitive beast trapping tools of the earthlings, and it is a nest to think about!
"In addition," Xiang Zidan added, "I can also tell Commander Moon that Colonel Shu once said that if you fight with the Jones people, the earthlings will definitely fail, but you can use some ancient methods, such as hunting traps, etc., which may have miraculous effects." ”
"It did work wonders, I was captured by your trap!" Jones Moon said, "To be honest, I miss your Colonel Shu a little!" ”
"Your last sentence doesn't mean anything!" Xu Yunzhi said: "Actually, Colonel Shu was forced away by you!" ”
Jones Moon was silent.
"Do you need to talk to Samantha?" After a pause, Xu Yunzhi asked, and Jones Moon shook his head.
"Okay, you can rest and recuperate from your injuries," Xu Yunzhi saw that Jones Moon didn't answer, so he said, "When your injuries are healed, we will send you back!" ”
"Professor Xu, are you going to release Jones Moon and those captives?" As soon as she went out, Elizabeth anxiously asked, "Just let them go for nothing?" ”
"Of course not, it is conditional!" Xu Yunzhi said: "I thought of it just now, but I didn't have time to discuss it with you...... Let's go, go to the conference room, I'll tell you what I just came up with and we'll talk about it. ”
The core members of the earthlings gathered again in the conference room, and Xu Yunzhi said her thoughts. After listening to Xu Yunzhi's words, everyone didn't know what to say for a while.
"Professor Xu, that is to say," after a long silence, Tang Liqing asked, "You have decided to choose to spend these two hundred years on Earth, and then calmly face the fire of the Heavenly Tribulation and accept the fate of the entire extinction of the human race on Earth?" ”
"Yes, that's all there is to it!" Xu Yunzhi replied gloomily: "We have no choice!" ”
There was another silence that was indescribable. Everyone was in a heavy mood, wondering if this was the only option. The fact is that the earthlings want to go on interstellar travel and escape the fire of the catastrophe, and their own space technology cannot keep up. Use the mothership of the Jones, and I am afraid that the Jones will do something and disappear forever in the dark starry sky before the time comes!
Rather than that, it is better to die on your home planet.
"In that case," said Elizabeth, "then why should we release those Jones captives?" We won't let them go, let them give us earthlings to bury! ”
"Yes!" Xiang Zidan said: "They forced the colonel away, but it didn't work, they were obviously using us as experiments, why should we release these Joneses?" Kill them, boil a big pot, and we'll have a death party! ”
Xiang Zidan has always been kind, and although he has also eaten human flesh in the Lovers' Fortress, he is against this practice in his heart. Even she said so, let alone others.
"I want to do it too, really!" Xu Yunzhi actually said the same, which startled everyone. But she changed her mind and said that she couldn't kill the Jones captives: "But these Jones captives are one of our cards!" I believe that the Jones people will not leave easily. It's not that they don't want to leave immediately, the catastrophe is coming, it's better to leave early, it's just that they don't want to let us go! So, we have to tell Samantha to leave the earth forever and we return the captives. Otherwise, these Jones captives, including Jones Moon, will become a meal on the plate of our earthlings! ”
"Maybe that's our fate!" Tang Liqing said: "At least you don't need to live in fear every day!" ”
Everyone agreed.
It was a meeting that bordered on the decision of total suicide, and it was decided that the earthlings were ready to live and die with their home planet. Naturally, none of the participants were in a good mood at such a decapitation meeting. Although the last catastrophe will not be encountered by this generation, I still feel the same way when I see that the future generations have no life and even if I can't meet it myself.
After the meeting, Xiang Zidan took Emily and went directly to the gate of the dungeon. She saw that Liang Jingjing was still standing next to an ion cannon, so she asked her how many more shots she could fire.
"It's enough," Liang Jingjing said, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"It's nothing, just ask!" Xiang Zidan said, put Emily down, and found explosives and a remote-controlled detonator. She tied up the explosives one by one, and then tied all the explosives to herself.
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Liang Jingjing was startled when she saw her doing this.
"I'm going out of the city," Xiang Zidan smiled slightly.
"The Jones must be lurking there, aren't you too risky!"
"I'm here for the lurking Jones!" Xiang Zidan said: "This is a remote-controlled detonator, you hold it, and if there is anything abnormal, you will detonate it!" ”
Liang Jingjing understood that Xiang Zidan had trapped the explosives on herself and went out of the city, and if the Jones people approached her stealthily, detonating the explosives would kill the Jones who attacked her as well. This is a suicidal attack, abandoning oneself and the enemy to die together, of course Liang Jingjing refuses: "Sister, there is no need to do this!" ”
"Sister, don't!" Little Emily also hugged Xiang Zidan's leg and didn't let her go.
During the stalemate, Elizabeth came over, and Liang Jingjing hurriedly called her. After listening to Liang Jingjing's crying, Elizabeth not only did not dissuade Xiang Zidan, but said: "Good job, Zidan!" I'll go with you! ”
As she spoke, she followed Xiang Zidan's practice and tied up explosives to herself. Liang Jingjing didn't see it well, so she quickly called someone to find Xu Yunzhi and others. By the time Xu Yunzhi and the others arrived, Xiang Zidan and Elizabeth had already walked out of the city with explosives bundled up!
Looking out from the observation hole, Xu Yunzhi's heart rose to his throat. She knew that after the meeting just now, everyone was holding a fire in their hearts. Being so pressed by the Jones people, I can only hide in the dungeon, and I feel that the nest is certain. Seeing that there was no hope of flying into the sky, I could only squat in the dungeon, helplessly waiting for the fire of the catastrophe, which really drove people crazy!
Zhang Jingyi, Tang Liqing and others also came. When they saw that the two of them had already left the city, they had no choice but to order each shooting hole and lookout hole to be closely monitored.
"Professor Xu, what if...... If the Jones do attack them, we detonate the bombs? ……”
"Yes, otherwise they died in vain!" Xu Yunzhi gritted his teeth and said.
Outside the city, Xiang Zidan and Elizabeth were cautious, but they were also very comfortable walking while talking and laughing. As they walked, they shouted, "We know you're hiding there, you're attacking us!" But let me inform you that the bomb on our body has exploded, and no one within a radius of 50 meters will be spared, and the detonator is in the city! When we fall, the bomb explodes, so let's do it when we think about it! ”
The two of them shouted as they walked, made a big circle, and returned to the city.
"Zidan, you have always been steady, how can you play this kind of adventure game this time?" Zhang Jingyi complained while untying Xiang Zidan from the explosives tied to his body: "You scared us all to death, you know!" ”
Xiang Zidan cried: "I'm also afraid!" But being bullied like this, it's boring to live! ”
"But you can't go so pointlessly to find death!" Zhang Jingyi said: "Your brother Shu will be very angry when he finds out!" ”
"There's no way my brother knows!" Xiang Zidan cried and said.
"Send them both to rest!" Xu Yunzhi said.
Watching the backs of the two go away, Xu Yunzhi had mixed feelings and couldn't help but sigh. She understands that what she said at the meeting today that the people of the earth can only choose the path of total extinction in two hundred years is indeed deeply despairing. She couldn't help but worry that these few people in the core layer would find it unbearable, and what would happen if the others knew?
She looked back at Zhang Jingyi and said, "Jingyi, am I too anxious today?" ”
"How do you say it......" Zhang Jingyi muttered: "What you said today, in fact, everyone already had a premonition in their hearts, but it became clear all of a sudden, which is really exciting." We are struggling, just trying to find a way out for the human beings on the earth, and seeing that there is no hope of saving ourselves, it is really unacceptable. ”
"It seems that this matter cannot be announced to the public," Mr. Xu said.
"Of course not!" Zhang Jingyi said: "In fact, we forced the Jones people away, and as soon as they left, everyone knew what the ending was, and there was no need to make a clear announcement." Just keep doing it, I support it! ”
"Okay!" Xu Yunzhi said: "In a few days, we will take the initiative to talk to Samantha!" ”
