Volume 1: The Afterglow of the Old World Chapter 7: The Day the Earth Stood Still
Seen from space, any living place on this planet is covered in an endless number of insects. In the mountains, birds and animals are running for their lives, and the surviving humans are desperately hiding from the ubiquitous insects, and it is only a matter of time before the human race becomes extinct.
At a time when living things are about to face mass extinction, what is being conceived and preparing in the universe.
……
……
In the library, before the insect swarm came up, Jiayu felt a strong vibration on his wrist, and a line of handwriting appeared on the watch: "The shield has the conditions to activate, whether it is activated or not", and then the handwriting disappeared, leaving only the two options of yes and no flashing.
What else to choose from, Jiayu covered a person and a dog with a body of flesh, activated the shield on his wrist that he didn't know where it came from, and a blue light mask appeared at the apex of his left wrist, and the first wave of insects that pounced on him instantly turned into charcoal, but the second, third, and fourth waves, countless waves of insects ...... A steady stream of ramming into the shield.
Jiayu couldn't see the energy display value on his watch, but he could intuitively see that the blue light of the shield was gradually weakening, and it couldn't last long.
In the glimmer of the shield, Jiayu and Chen Qin quietly waited for the moment when death came.
Chen Qin didn't cry, but said to Jiayu very unexpectedly, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, maybe if you are alone, it is very simple to live, you should leave my ......"
Jiayu gritted his teeth and said to the boss: "Boss, don't give up, it should be soon, it's going to be over soon, just hold on a little longer......"
Chen Qin stretched out her hand and gently stroked Jiayu's sweat-soaked face, she was very grateful to this silly child, she was still comforting herself at this time.
The sea of insects that covered the sky and the sun, billions of flying insects flapped their wings, with a roar, circled, pressed heavily to the ground, and the whole sky was collapsing.
Chen Qin hugged the earth dog Coke and waited for the last moment.
Jiayu's blood was boiling, his right hand clenched the remaining half of the kitchen knife, and shouted at the sky: "Hurry up, uncle, hurry up and launch, I can't hold it anymore!" ”。
The shield flickered, and the shattered glass disappeared, Jiayu hugged Chen Qin hard, feeling that the knife foot of the insect behind him was inserted straight in, and when it was less than 1 cm away from the heart, it was dawn......
……
Not far from the roaring earth, outside the orbit of the earth and the moon, a beam of pure light appeared out of nothing in the dark cosmic space, vibrating, flickering, and destroying the energy of the solar system in the void gathered from the vacuum, and in a way that violated any physical rules of this universe, it hovered and fell into the bright spot of the center, the energy level of the center point was increasing at an incredible speed, and after a short period of time the energy continued, and after the energy of the light cluster gathered to a certain threshold, the light cluster exploded.
The point of light is very small, and from the point of view of the earth, it is not conspicuous by the vast majority of stars, but in a full 3 seconds, the point of light poured out a huge amount of energy towards the earth, and the energy in an instant has exceeded all the energy released by the sun, like a peerless heavenly sword, stabbing at the blue earth with the power of destroying the planet.
The distance between the Earth and the Moon, the most advanced spacecraft of mankind would have taken two days, and now this great sword composed of beams crossed the lunar orbit in less than a second and bombarded the Earth's atmosphere.
The destructive energy can pierce the earth with one blow, but this energy that can destroy a planet instantly cracks and decomposes when it touches the atmosphere, scattering into countless extremely subtle rays of light, and the eastern hemisphere of the earth's dark night part is like a lit torch, which is instantly illuminated by a mysterious beam of light from the depths of the universe, and then scattered through layers of the atmosphere, covering the entire earth in 6 seconds.
13.8 billion years after the Big Bang and 5 billion years after the formation of the solar system, the Earth became the brightest star in the Milky Way.
Each tiny beam of light is like an extremely precise scalpel, cutting through every mutated insect on the earth, and based on some unknown judgment conditions, it can accurately destroy the genes in the insects on the earth that may lead to ecological disaster.
For the next 10 seconds, the blue planet was covered in a cloud of dust from the remains of dead insects...... The remains of insects drift in the sky with the air currents and fall to the earth to become nutrients that nourish a new round of evolutionary life.
……
……
Jiayu hugged Chen Qin hard, the earth dog trembled under his feet, did not raise his head, he was already about to die generously, the terrifying sound of flying insects wings disappeared, the night sky was quiet, he could feel the injured muscles on his back slowly healing, and the insect knife feet that pierced the heart had disappeared.
Chen Qin saw the changes that had happened between heaven and earth, when the huge mantis monster stabbed into his body with a knife, and when the billions of insects were about to swallow the two of them with their belts, the dense filaments of light appeared out of nowhere, calmly cutting the big insects into pieces and drifting away with the wind.
Jiayu let go of Chen Qin and sat on the ground. Jiayu knew that he had finally caught up, or he would have been scrapped directly with his own hundred catties. The two stared blankly at the sky, the bright light was gradually dissipating, and there were no more insects in the sky and on the ground.
……
In the previous life, Jiayu and Chen Qin were trapped in the ruins and did not escape at the first time, but the advantage is that they escaped this extinction disaster, he once talked to other survivors in the base, and listened to these grandsons brag, saying that they killed seven in and seven out of the insect swarm, unstoppable, and now it can be regarded as clear, if you can leave a few parts, it is already quite a fork, and if you are not careful, it will become the rations of the insects, okay......
……
After the catastrophe, the two of them had no strength to celebrate, so they could only sit on the ground and gasp hard, at this time, they "saw" a "message" in their minds.
The message is not expressed in the form of words or words, but a kind of consciousness that goes straight to the heart, feeling that there is some kind of superlife beyond human imagination, and in a way that transcends language, the central idea that needs to be expressed in words is sent directly to the human brain, and there is no need to work hard to perfect the rhetoric and adjust the structure......
Jiayu glanced at Chen Qin, Chen Qin understood from Jiayu's eyes, she nodded, meaning "I also 'heard' ......"
What a certain superlife form wants to express means, "This is the first unsurmountable threshold facing the earth, in order to let the current life develop, with the right to live on the earth, they have carried out a simple degree of purification of the earth, insects are not extinct, but the number has been greatly reduced, so that everyone can stand on the same starting line, bala bala bala ......"
Anyway, this is the meaning, this means of directly conveying consciousness is already close to a miracle, and it makes people feel that the meaning expressed by a high-level organism is indeed true, not fooling people......
"What the hell are you???" Jiayu asked this consciousness in his mind.
The night sky was silent, and there was no answer.
"No one cares" Jiayu barely straightened up, the almost penetrating wound on his back was torn open, the sharp pain tore the nerves, and the blood flowed out again.
As the dust of the insect residue settled, the silent starry sky was once again revealed, and the air became clear and transparent after being purified by the beam, and it seemed that not only the insects were eliminated, but also the invisible pollutants such as dust, sulfur dioxide, and heavy metal particles in the earth's atmosphere were also purified.
The silence is at its extreme, the darkest part of the pre-dawn is about to pass, and the first day after the end is coming.
……
……
Even in the following years, the salvation bases of each continent have different views on this supercivilization, some scholars believe that it is a high-dimensional civilization, some experts believe that it is the will of the universe, and some people with strong beliefs think that it is the salvation of God...... But none of them are convincing answers.
Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and looked at the watch in his left hand, there was no prompt, Jiayu relaxed a little, the first phase of the operation to save Chen Qin seemed to have achieved the effect, it was almost over, and the mission must have failed.
So Jiayu began to wait for the sunrise happily, at this time, there was a "hiss~~" sound from the sky, it seemed that some flying object broke through the sound barrier and flew to this side, Jiayu's heart became nervous again, thinking about not having any more moths, let me rest and talk about it.
A lone star, in a way that defies the laws of physics, flew towards them...... It's almost in front of me, and it seems that the direction is a little wrong...... Flew over......
The two of them watched blankly as the stars flew towards them from above the nine heavens, and then passed by, almost twisting their necks......
Jiayu originally wanted to say that he would set up an immortal tablet for this super-civilization who passed by to save the earth, and wished the extraterrestrial super-civilization hero good health and prosperous business...... Unexpectedly, there was a little brother flying over, and his eyes were not very good.
The two of them watched the stars fly by steadily, and Jiayu couldn't help but ask, "Are you always passing by?" ”
Jiayu chatted and farted with the masters in the base in his previous life, and no master ever bragged that he had seen the body of the super-civilization, in everyone's impression, after the super-civilization sealed his throat with a sword, he drifted away, and he didn't hear that there was a little brother who was left on the earth......
After the star flew out more than ten meters, he braked sharply, then flicked his tail, and flew back with a whoosh......
Jiayu was cheap again, and added: "You are old, this is ...... Asking for directions? ……”
The star dot circled around and returned to the front of the two and a dog.
Flying to a distance of one or two meters, the star point stopped steadily, at such a close distance, Jiayu They found that the star point did not look like a comet, but an object like a star cluster, floating up and down in an irregular small amplitude in front of Jiayu, adjusting.
The long comet tail dragged out behind the star point in flight is now retracted around the star point, like the Milky Way, which has shrunk billions of times, around the brightest point of light in the center, gradually forming four spiral arms, which are extremely beautiful.
The bright spot in the center of the star point is getting brighter and brighter the more you look at it, Jiayu's eyes can no longer care about looking at the star arm hovering next to him, all the spirit is infused into the depths of the bright spot, and all the spirit is attracted by the bright spot.
……
……
The sky is getting brighter, and the east of the city is already showing a touch of burgundy morning glow.
The two waited quietly for the miniature nebula to give instructions.
At the moment when the sun was about to leap above the horizon, the stars froze for a moment.
The first ray of sunlight appeared, Chen Qin's eyes flickered, she blinked subconsciously, and in an instant, the speed of the star point skyrocketed, and it instantly disappeared into Jiayu's eyebrows! Jiayu's entire head seemed to be pierced by a bullet, and he involuntarily leaned back, almost breaking his neck.
Nebula vanished into his body.
The east of the earth is shrouded in brilliant sunshine, and the heavens and the earth are calm and peaceful.
