Early morning.

Li Quan hasn't gotten up yet. Through the bright sunlight that came in through the white curtains, looking at the Gu Yan phone number saved last night in his mobile phone, he didn't know what expression to make on his face.

His feelings for Gu Yan are more complicated. When you were in school, you didn't really have a lot of contact. If you want to talk about communication, it is more about appearing with Yao Feifei, who is the squad leader, when the two women are inseparable, and they are indirectly familiar with her.

Life is so wonderful. The two who didn't know each other very well originally felt that they were the most cordial to each other at the moment. In the past, it was mostly only in the hazy feeling of love, and there were many young teenagers who didn't understand love. How could you have imagined that there would be the indescribable madness of last night......

The bathroom door opened, and Gu Yan, who had long wet hair, saw Li Quan, who was leaning on the head of the bed in a daze, she smiled, and her smile was as bright as the sun: "Good morning." Okay, where are you going to play this year? ”

Li Quan raised his head and looked at her.

A childlike smile appeared on his face inexplicably. There was a long-lost sense of relief in his heart.

"You choose. It's all up to you. ”

"Really, you have to talk about it."

So in the next week, Li Quan will still remember it from time to time until a long, long time later.

He's weird. For a whole week, he did almost nothing, no weird plane crossing, no thrilling battles, just traveled around the country with Gu Yan, traveled through famous mountains and rivers, and searched for places of interest. And the matter of work was thrown to Pete by him in a word. However, it made him feel that it was the most fulfilling week he had ever had in a long time.

In terms of work, Pete is the CEO enough to be in charge of himself, and he doesn't need to be the big boss himself. He lived a life that everyone would envy if he was awake to the power of the world and drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman. Every day, my ears are filled with Gu Yan's laughter, which is not stunning, but it will definitely be the beautiful face of the goddess image in the minds of many men, and every time I look at it, I will have admiration and worship that will make any man full of achievements.

It was also the first time he knew about Gu Yan's feelings for him all along. He was flattered.

From north to south, east to west. Arm in arm, they crossed the mountains and hills, and walked through the riverside. In this way, he almost forgot the burden that had been weighing on him for a long time.

No matter what the reason, Li Quan was sincerely pleased with Gu Yan's arrival. Thank you for giving him this precious relaxation.

This may be the last feast of mankind. There will be no escapism, and all the courage that humanity has left will need to face the challenges that lie ahead.

In the restaurant, Gu Yan, who put her fork back to her mouth and watched the TV news column carefully for a long time, suddenly turned her head to look at Li Quan and asked, "Is that incident true?" ”

This is a question without beginning or end, only Li Quan knows what she is asking.

"It's true." He nodded.

Gu Yan raised her eyebrows beautifully, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "What about the specific time?" ”

"I don't know. Maybe more than ten years, decades, and not more than a hundred years at most. The enemy will arrive. Li Quan swallowed the food and said.

"That's ......"

Gu Yan fell silent. Only the faint sound of her chewing could be heard. She takes the steak and sauce on her plate seriously.

"Can you believe it?" Li Quan asked.

"What?" Gu Yan raised her head.

"Believe what I'm saying?" Li Quan suddenly laughed: "You know, after the news was announced, many people didn't believe me, and some even said that I had a mental problem. ”

"I believe in you." Gu Yan didn't hesitate at all: "From the beginning to the present, I believe in you all!" ”

She felt it was time to say something.

She put down her knife and fork and looked at Li Quan seriously: "At that time, everyone said that you did that thing, and regarded you as a murderer and a fugitive. But I've never believed in that kind of. I know, you'd never do that kind of thing. As it turned out, I didn't look away. It's the same now. Although I don't know much about the news you announced, I believe everything you say. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled: "I won't tell you the truth, I once encouraged my family to support you, but I also had a small quarrel with my family for this......"

"The more you say that, the more embarrassed I feel." After listening to this, Li Quan said with a smile.

"Why?" Gu Yan looked puzzled.

"The ancients often said: It is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauty. How can I repay you for this? Li Quan said half-jokingly.

"That's it......" Gu Yan thought about it very seriously, and suddenly smiled proudly like a little fox, looked at Li Quan with silky eyes, and whispered, "It's good to compensate me at night." ”

Li Quan showed a stunned expression when he heard this. Gu Yan couldn't help but laugh heartily, and her pretty face turned red.

The next morning, the local airport.

Gu Yan, who was dragging a large mouthful of suitcases, gave Li Quan a hug, and generously imprinted a kiss on his face: "Don't send me, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Li Quan was apologetic.

Originally, he planned to accompany her to a foreign trip for another week, but suddenly received a message that he needed to attend a very important international meeting. This leisure trip had to end there.

Time was pressing, and the capital had already sent a special plane to pick him up and fly directly to the United States. Because Gu Yan didn't have a visa, she could only take the plane back alone. Originally, he wanted to use his privilege to take Gu Yan to the United States together, and I believe that China and the United States will not have anything to say about this kind of trivial matter. But Gu Yan refused.

"Thank you for being with me for so many days." In the airport lounge, the two people are like those young couples who can be seen everywhere before parting, holding each other and looking at each other.

Gu Yan smiled like a flower, without the slightest loss before parting. Even though she actually knew that this separation might be the last time the two of them met.

"You must have something more important to do. It's time for me to go back to the normal life I should have. Don't worry. This girl's conditions are very good, I'm not afraid that no one wants it! ”

Another long kiss. Gu Yan buried her head in Li Quan's arms and stopped talking. It wasn't until the announcement of boarding sounded for the third time that she got up and pulled the slightly messy ends of her hair, resolutely dragged her suitcase and walked into the boarding gate, never looking back.

Looking at the slowly rising passenger plane, the footsteps of Pete and the others sounded behind him. Li Quan didn't look back, he looked at the passenger plane that was gradually getting smaller in the air, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Let's go, get on board." He said to the crowd behind him.

Gu Yan said that she would finish college and then think about other things. This sudden love between the two people ended abruptly just like the beginning.

After the breakup, their respective lives will go on. The moment he walked out of this airport, he was about to make the final preparations for the future of mankind.

After a short period of preparation, the Heart of the Forest plane carrying Li Quan and his entourage quickly took off and headed for New York.

……

The person who came to pick up the airport was actually Director Zhou.

"I didn't expect you to be here, Director Zhou." Li Quan was a little surprised and shook hands with the other party.

"The situation was relatively sudden, alas, I had just received the news, and I flew over immediately." Director Zhou's slightly wrinkled face showed a wry smile, and his expression was rare and serious: "Let's go, it's about to start, I should be waiting for you." ”

Li Quan nodded. The two men shared a black sedan, and the driver drove silently towards the United Nations building.

Li Quan is visiting the United Nations Headquarters for the first time, although he has already dealt with him several times. To be honest, he is not particularly interested in institutions like the United Nations. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that because of the existence of a superpower, the United Nations is often unable to realize the meaning of its existence, and it is very easy for it to become the mouthpiece of the great powers.

This time, though, he had to come. Because this is a conference in which all member states of the United Nations will participate.

Li Quan's seat was the only non-member seat in the meeting. The official treatment of the United Nations is very high, and it is basically the same as that of other member states. Li Quan didn't care much about this, what he cared about was the specific content of the meeting that Director Zhou revealed to him on the way here.

The content of this meeting made the face of this old fritter who has been in politics for many years covered with lead clouds.

Soon after Li Quan took his seat, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations announced the opening of the closed-door meeting. The vast hall was filled with only the sound of paper churning and a slight cough.

An image immediately popped up on the big screen. The image is pitch black, with only a few tiny specks.

The representatives stared at the picture, all silent, awaiting an explanation from the Secretary-General.

"As you can see, this image is from deep space against the backdrop of the constellation Lyra, taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope eight hours ago. There are a total of 7 white dot marks distributed in the image, of which 1 is large and 6 are small, and the difference can be clearly distinguished. ”

Li Quan looked at this image, although it was the first time he saw it, he had an indescribable sense of familiarity. The 7 spots on the image are arranged neatly in 1 large and 6 small centers, like a plum blossom.

On the stage, Madam Secretary-General continued: "Based on the data observed, NASA has come up with basic data on these dot patterns. The largest of these has about one-tenth the mass of the Earth; The mass of the small is one-sixth of the large. These objects are located approximately 5 light-years away from Earth. Their speeds are exactly the same, and they have all reached 270,000 kilometers per second, and they are approaching the Earth in opposite directions. ”

"What reason is there to believe that they are not naturally occurring outer space objects?" A representative of a certain country couldn't help but ask.

In fact, before the meeting, these people had already gotten the news. It just needs to be confirmed.

"It's because ......" said the Secretary General with a blank face, "just one hour ago, I just got the news from NASA. These objects...... Slowed down. ”

The venue was in an uproar.

Representatives of countries with common sense know that naturally formed cosmic bodies do not change speed for no reason. Deceleration means that these objects are surprisingly neatly arranged, most likely man-made!

The next moment, almost everyone in the audience looked at Li Quan.

The news that Li Quan announced to the world a few months ago was that Hubble was able to capture these images precisely because of the technical parameters provided by Li Quan. Since even human telescopes have observed the signal, this is not just to confirm the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, but that extraterrestrial civilizations are very close to observe.

Because the object was photographed 5 light-years away, in other words, the content shown in this image was actually an event from 5 years ago: 5 years ago in Earth time, a total of 7 man-made objects in the direction of the constellation Lyra, the smallest and two-thirds the size of the Moon, were approaching the Earth at standard sub-light speed, and then decelerated.

The information revealed in it made everyone present shudder.

The number calculated according to the speed after deceleration is the countdown to the alien civilization that humanity will face!
