Chapter 12: Life and Death Choices
The vast universe is changing and the stars are moving!
The elegant yellow moon hangs high in the night sky, and the soft moonlight bathes the pious people......
Lonely beings, fragile beings, sent a prayer for survival to the divine realm!
Again and again, over and over again, the sound of life drifted into the vast void......
The mind talks to the gods, the irritability gradually decreases, and the fear gradually fades.
…… ……
Suddenly—
Saber shouted: "Come out!" It's out! The sun is out! ”
Everyone opened their eyes in an instant—
A red ball twice as large as the sun is rising!
So fiery, so arrogant!
The brilliant glow erupted out, like a fire in the prairie fire, quickly igniting the land for thousands of miles!
The stars are gone, and the yellow moon is gone!
It's the world of it! This is the world of Alpha Star!
It shines on the earth with brilliant sunshine!
It warms the earth with blazing sunshine!
It greets every living creature on the planet with a big smile!
The warm sunshine is the power of life!
The great extraterrestrial settler has escaped the second Grim Reaper!
People cheered, people shouted, people released, people burst into tears!
People lifted Zhen Huan, the mother of prayer, high, and then threw it into the air!
"Wow! It's so high! I'm scared, catch me! Zhen Huan shouted loudly.
The sun dispelled the darkness and opened people's horizons!
Once you see the environment clearly and reduce the risk of being raided, this becomes the world of special forces!
The surroundings were empty, and there was no threat in sight, and the special forces finally breathed a sigh of relief!
"Does prayer really work? Is the universe really full of gods? Leaving the sun and looking at Zhen Huan.
"I hope so!" Zhen Huan responded lightly.
"What do you mean?"
"How else? Waiting for death with fear? Rather than this, it is better to die in piety, to die peacefully and with dignity......" Zhen Huan showed a wry smile.
Liri seemed to be touched, thought for a while and said: "Everyone is a high-level intellectual, and they actually believe in the queen's words?" ”
Zhen Huan calmed down his excitement and said eloquently: "What about high-level intellectuals?
In fact, human beings have come all the way from ancient barbarism, and they have become scientifically underdeveloped, and they have maintained reverence for the gods of nature, resulting in various totemic worship.
This forms the collective memory of humanity, which is perpetuated as a kind of mysterious genetic preservation.
Even in the postmodern era, science and technology are very developed, but some accidental problems have never been solved, such as why disasters suddenly befall us, why do things always have to talk about luck, and so on.
This gives room for mystical rituals such as prayers, and even becomes some kind of spiritual sustenance.
For example, now, when we are facing a desperate situation and death, we feel a kind of nothingness, a kind of fear, and a kind of attachment to life that is aroused from the deepest part of our hearts!
At this time, even if it is a lie, as long as it can bring people a little psychological comfort, everyone chooses to believe that it is true, which is a kind of revival of collective original memory.
Besides, Alpha Star is a planet that is different from Earth, and it carries some mystery in itself, which adds a bit of awe to people to supernatural powers. ”
Zhen Huan said in simple terms, with a clear eye, and Liri couldn't help nodding frequently, and then took out a small diary and wrote-
"On the first day of 'Stargazing': seeing the Alpha Star, seeing the hope of life!"
…… ……
And suddenly—
A hoarse cry shook the joyful people!
"Oh my God! Why do you do this to me! Jiang Chuan held his head in his hands, looked up to the sky and roared, his thin body swaying in the breeze.
"it! You are crazy! "Technician Wu Wei really can't stand Jiang Chuan's cowardice and madness!
"it! it! The parrot followed suit and cursed!
"Look! Look! A bare piece, you can't live! Jiang Chuan continued to scream, very poignantly.
Looking around from the sun, sure enough!
Within visual distance, there was a desolation, all saline, without any trace of life!
In fact, everyone noticed this scene at first, but only regarded it as the existence of the Gobi Desert, and did not think about it in connection with the meaning of life.
Quickly take off the telescope and look into the distance, it is still a desolation, there are no mountains, no water, no trees, no flowers, no birds and animals, this is a lonely and cold world, this is a world forgotten by God!
Nervous......
泬廖兮......
Trance......
The atmosphere of ancient recklessness is revealed everywhere here!
People are stunned, people are terrified, people are trembling, people are terrified!
The poor settler, before he had time to enjoy the joy to his heart's content, was immediately pushed into the abyss of despair again!
Everyone stands on tiptoe and looks up!
Some even hold the child high above their heads, allowing the child to look as far away as possible......
What to do? What to do? What to do?
10,000 question marks are hitting the head of the left sun like a hammer!
10,000 customers are invading the mood of leaving the sun!
The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead! We must unify our minds as soon as possible!
Liri suddenly thought of the old rules of budui, and when you encounter difficult problems, you can hold a democratic meeting and work together to find solutions and improve morale!
Just do it!
"It's all there! Come to the meeting! ”
Except for Zhen Huan and the four strong soldiers, all of them looked depressed and mournful, and walked over weakly with their heads drooped.
Liri gave Zhen Huan a look, Zhen Huan just relied on God's operation and prayed out the Alpha Star, everyone trusted her more, and Liri hoped that she would continue to find ways to stabilize people's hearts.
Zhen Huan comprehended, and immediately said: "Don't panic, don't be discouraged, there is air suitable for human beings to breathe on this planet, and there is sunshine suitable for human survival, which means that there must be life on it!" ”
Zhen Huan just boosted everyone's morale a little, and Jiang Chuan immediately said with a sad face: "Sunshine and air do not necessarily have life!"
Outside the solar system, there are hundreds of millions of shining stars in the universe, and there are countless planets around them, but over the years, scientists have found only one planet suitable for human habitation!
Now, even this planet is a delusion! ”
Jiang Chuan's words raised everyone's panic index by a few percentage points!
"Enough! Everything is still undecided, and in the future, anyone who disturbs the hearts of our army will be severely punished! ”
This is the first time that Liri has shown amazing anger and supreme majesty since he led everyone to the 'Stars'!
Everyone was a little uncomfortable, and they all looked at him in a daze, and a few children were even more frightened to open their mouths, and even Zhen Huan, who usually cooperated with the most tacit cooperation with Liri, was also shocked a little dazed!
Liri scanned everyone with a resolute gaze for a week, and said sharply: "Now there are 3 plans in front of you:
First, return to the ark and live in peace until all the food is gone!
Second, go out during the day to find a place suitable for long-term survival, and return to the ark at night.
Third, just leave the ark and never look back until you find a place suitable for long-term survival!
In the end, you can express your own opinions, now the time is pressing, every second counts, we must decide immediately! ”
People were so frightened by the majesty of the departure that they did not dare to speak easily!
Liri continued: "On the surface, there are three plans, but in fact, there are two paths: either sit and eat and wait for death, or survive the Jedi!
Since everyone doesn't speak, I ask if you have chosen the first option, sit back and wait for death! ”
The crowd bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Since everyone has a desire to survive, let's discuss the second and third options!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhen Huan refreshed himself and deliberately asked, "Chief, may I ask, what are the pros and cons of the second and third options?" ”
"The second option, go out to find food during the day and return to the ark at night, the advantage is that it is safer to return and sleep in the ark at night, and the ark can be used as a foothold for future development. ”
"What's the downside?" Zhen Huan began to sing and harmonize with Liri.
"The disadvantage is that our food is limited, the farther away from the ark, the greater the chance of finding a suitable place for long-term survival, if we waste time going out and coming back, coming back and going out, and tossing in circles repeatedly, food is wasted, time is wasted, and the chance of survival is getting smaller and smaller, and the final outcome is the same as the first plan - death!"
"What about the third option?" Zhen Huan continued to ask.
"The third option: just leave the ark, never back down, never look back, until you find a suitable place to survive for a long time!
The advantage is that before the limited food is consumed, you can go farther, and the chance of finding such a place is greater, and the disadvantage is that you leave the ark and there is no safe place to stand! ”
Everyone was silent, pondering, weighing the pros and cons......
