Chapter 259: An Unbalanced World
"There's no movement from the Jones side yet?" Seeing Shu Yunpeng, Zhang Jingyi asked him: "They are really calm!" ”
"Just wait patiently," Shu Yunpeng said, "How are you feeling today?" ”
"Well, it seems that the reaction in the past few days has not been as serious as some time ago," Zhang Jingyi replied: "Don't say it, if you don't think about saving mankind or something, you can live quite comfortably here." ”
"If you think so, it's over!" Shu Yunpeng said: "Compared to interstellar travel, this kind of life is definitely nostalgic. Perhaps, the Jones people have been wandering in the vast sea of stars, and from time to time they will encounter some dangerous little surprises given by the universe, so they are really bored. ”
"If the Jones agree to use their mothership and technology to exchange with us, we're really going to fly out?"
"What, you're scared?"
"I'm a little scared indeed!" Zhang Jingyi honestly admitted: "The interstellar voyage sounds very romantic and fascinating, but we have no emotional understanding of the arduousness and pain. I really don't know what unknowable dangers I will encounter, how many unknowable accidents I have to deal with, and my heart is empty! ”
"I'm scared too!" Shu Yunpeng smiled and said, "Do you think I want to fly so much?" I don't want to either! How nice it would be if our planet was well, staying at home, having children, and living a peaceful life! But now, except for the dungeon, the heat wave is rolling on the ground, and it is difficult to stay on it. It's not much fun to hide under the ground like this, like a mouse, to live. ”
"But flying out is also a terrifying thing," Zhang Jingyi said, "The journey of the unknown is always full of unimaginable dangers." And we, except for some unmanned probes, have never run out of the solar system. Once you run into a strange interstellar space, you may not have to run far before you run headlong into some cosmic trap, and you won't even have a chance to cry. Haven't you considered any of this? ”
"Of course I have considered it," Shu Yunpeng said, "but if you want me to say what specific countermeasures there are, that's just on paper." No matter how much you think about it now, it's untargeted, so don't think too much. ”
"That's true," Zhang Jingyi sighed, "It's really useless to think too much." But if you say you want me to don't want to, then you really can't do it. It's really not a taste to think that in case we really fly, in the face of all kinds of unknowable strange space, every day is highly nervous and frightened! ”
"Don't say it!" Zhang Jingyi's words, Shu Yunpeng also felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, what to do, he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart: "Maybe the Jones people don't think about exchanging with us at all!" ”
Shu Yunpeng knows that when a woman has a child, most of them will choose a relatively peaceful life, even if this peace does not see the future. Zhang Jingyi is pregnant, and she must be afraid of a turbulent life, especially the interstellar voyage that flies to the vast sky and has to worry about every day.
But what should he do, choose to give up, let the Jones people enter the dungeon, and live this life in peace?
"Am I upsetting you?" Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Jingyi asked softly.
"No...... I'm wondering if we need to let everyone choose together to decide the fate of us and the people of the earth in the future? ”
Zhang Jingyi didn't answer, the topic was too heavy. The choice of life and death is not easy, and the more you talk about it, the more chaotic it becomes. Shu Yunpeng saw that Zhang Jingyi didn't want to say anything, so he stood up and planned to leave, but Zhang Jingyi left him behind again.
"Elizabeth has been here!"
"She's been here? I'm here to visit you, right? ”
"Yes," Ms. Zhang said, "but I think she seems to have something she wants to say, but she doesn't." ”
"How did you feel that way?" Shu Yunpeng sat down again.
"She asked me if I was happy with a man...... "Zhang Jingyi recalled: "She seemed to ask casually, but I don't think so." ”
"She asked this? ......" Shu Yunpeng was a little surprised: "How did you answer?" ”
"I said yes," Zhang Jingyi smiled: "I also asked her if she also thought about it, but she avoided it and didn't answer." ”
Shu Yunpeng thought of what Xiang Zidan was doing, remembered Sister Zhen's words, and felt very helpless. Zhang Jingyi looked at the change in the expression on his face, and couldn't help asking, "Is there something I don't know?" ”
"Yes!" Shu Yunpeng said. A lot of things are held in my heart, and there is no one to talk to, which is really unbearable. Therefore, Shu Yunpeng simply told Zhang Jingyi everything from what Yi Ru said, Anna and Yi Qianya's positioning of his role, to the sad story that Sister Zhen said about the men in this world, and what Xiang Zidan did after entering the dungeon.
"Oh my God! It turns out that there is such a rich plot! Zhang Jingyi was surprised when she heard this, but then she smiled again, and smiled happily: "I didn't expect you to make our ragged world with only women so magnificent!" ”
"Now you know everything," Shu Yunpeng grinned, "Don't you feel very sad?" ”
"Is it your sorrow, or the sorrow of the women of this world?" Zhang Jingyi stopped laughing: "Or both are ......"
"Actually, the system collapse is gradual, and the more fragile Y system collapses first!" Shu Yunpeng said. He thought of Claire and felt very uncomfortable: "The Y system, in fact, also shook the X system, and the unbalanced world is deformed and cannot be long-lasting. ”
"Maybe, but look at the Jones people, they have not had a man for a long time, but they have survived for so long thanks to advanced technology...... Of course, the shock felt that an existential crisis was imminent, so they tried their best to get you over......" Zhang Jingyi said as she spoke, and suddenly thought of something: "I suddenly have an idea, I don't know if it's right!" ”
"Tell me about it!"
"The Jones people brought you here, and the earthlings don't know, right?" Zhang Jingyi groaned and said, "It stands to reason that they should get you to them to hide it, which is convenient and has nothing to do with the earthlings." But as it turns out, they threw you to the earthlings, why? ”
Zhang Jingyi's question was really a question, and Shu Yunpeng suddenly cleared up. He looked at Zhang Jingyi, and Zhang Jingyi also looked at him, and the hearts of the two suddenly brightened. Jones people are rational, and they know that an unbalanced world will eventually fail. If they leave him with them, they may cause civil strife because of his presence, so they will return to the earthlings if they have obtained the resources they want.
"Bad enough......" Shu Yunpeng muttered to himself. Although the Jones people recognize that the earthlings are a cosmic civilization, it is certain that they look down on the earthlings. Therefore, they will not be so kind, because the earthlings have also had a system collapse, and there is no man left to the earthlings: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" ”
"I think that's probably why Yi Ru wants you to do that, because she was the first to feel this imbalance," Zhang Jingyi said, "Xiang Zidan, they also feel the potential danger of this imbalance, so they want the more people close to you, the better!" ”
"Unexpectedly, I am still the culprit of the imbalance in the world!" Shu Yunpeng smiled bitterly. But he can't help but admit that Zhang Jingyi's analysis is reasonable. Leda's choice to find a way to kill him because she couldn't get him is the best example. There must be a similar potential danger, but he didn't know it.
If Samantha asked him at this time if he would go if he had the opportunity to return to his world, he would have replied very firmly: "Go back!" ”
"It's not your fault!" Zhang Jingyi said: "You didn't choose to come here by yourself, if you say who should bear this responsibility, in the final analysis, it is the universe." I agree with Samantha's words: the universe created us, but it didn't treat us well! ”
"Well, thank you, baby, your brain didn't short-circuit!" He hugged Zhang Jingyi and kissed her on the cheek: "I'll go to the duty room to have a look." ”
He came to the duty room and saw that in addition to Xiang Zidan, Elizabeth was also in the duty room. Elizabeth saw him, smiled, said hello, and left. And Xiang Zidan blushed inexplicably, and lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.
He smiled secretly and sat down beside Xiang Zidan.
"Nothing, right?" He asked faintly.
"No, it's peaceful."
He casually asked a few questions without a match, and then suddenly got to the point.
"What are you talking to Elizabeth? Give her a task? ”
Xiang Zidan's head lowered lower, and his face turned red: "No, there is no ...... Just talk about it! ”
Shu Yunpeng laughed: "Why are you so nervous?" …… Let's be honest, Zidan, are you taking care of her, a few of you will deliberately avoid me these days and make it convenient for her? ”
Xiang Zidan didn't answer, but judging by her expression, she acquiesced.
"Is it easy for you to do this?"
"No, brother!" This time, Xiang Zidan answered. Her voice trembled a little, but the meaning was unambiguous: "It's true that when my sister was here, she always said this to me, but I didn't just listen to her, I thought so myself!" ”
"I'm afraid you're not the only one who thinks so, right?" Shu Yunpeng was silent for a while, and said, "Sister Zhen came to me, and she told me some untold tragic stories about men in this world. She's warning me, just like you, and thinking about me...... Thank you! ”
"Brother is polite, this is what we are willing to do, and we should do it......" Xiang Zidan's face was still red, but she had already raised her head: "If you don't object, I'll inform Elizabeth and let her go to you tonight?" ”
"Okay!" Shu Yunpeng readily agreed, but added: "There is one thing I want to make clear, it must be voluntary, you can't force anyone!" ”
"Okay, I got it!"
