In the depths of the vast ocean, there is an archipelago of paradise, which the rat people call Akara, which means "beautiful island". The rats have forgotten how their ancestors came to this island surrounded by the vastness of the sea. I heard it was a hurricane. Maybe it's God's will? But that doesn't seem to matter anymore, as the rats have been on the island for hundreds of generations.

The sea is as far away as the stars. No one has ever been able to pluck the stars in the sky, and no one has ever been able to find the other side of the sea, not even the best boatmen. But that doesn't matter anymore. Because the rat people have long been accustomed to this life that has been passed down for thousands of years. The sun rises, the sun sets, fishing and millet, and lives a quiet and peaceful life.

This morning, Xiaoxing and his sister Satsuki were looking for those colorful pebbles on the beach, and while they were having fun, suddenly a loud roar like thunder and lightning came from the sea.

The sky was clear. Xiaoxing looked up in confusion and searched the sky, and then he was surprised to see a black dot flying in the sky that was growing larger.

Oh, my God! What's that? The ignorant Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue were frightened, and they hurriedly ran in the direction of home. But the giant beast flying in the sky soon overtook them, and they trembled and clung to each other, watching in horror as the black beast slowly landed on the grass in front of them.

Two giants as tall as mountains emerged from the belly of the flying beast, they were so tall that they must be the legendary giant spirit gods! You can't go wrong!

In a state of unapprehension, the two giant spirit gods beckoned to Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue, came closer, and then threw a small bag in front of them. Xiao Xing and Xiao Yue didn't pick up the bag, in fact, they were already too frightened to move, endless fear and surprise had already filled all their brains, and they couldn't even say half a word.

The flying beast roared away again. After a long time, Xiao Xing and Xiao Yue finally determined that they were not dreaming, because the small bag in front of them that exuded some kind of tempting fragrance, as well as the bunch of things that the two giant spirit gods took out of the stomach of the flying beast, also seemed to exude the fragrance of food.

They didn't hurt themselves. They don't seem to have malicious intent? Thinking so, Stars and Satsuki finally triumphed over fear as curiosity and scent triumphed over fear, and they opened the pouch and found many white crystals the size of small stones.

It smells so good. Satsuki picked up a white spar and licked it on it. Then she was stunned. It was a magical taste she had never tasted before, so sweet that no words could describe it.

Xiao Xing and Xiao Yue ran back to the dungeon out of breath and told everyone about the strange things they had encountered at the beach today, and the elder immediately led the rat people to the seaside, and they carefully opened the boxes of things, and a brave rat man tasted them, and he was completely conquered by this supreme delicacy. It's all food, and it's delicious. Could it be a delicacy from the divine realm?

"It's a gift from God." The priest finally confirmed.

Five days later, when the flying beast landed in Acala again, Little Star was in the final struggle with the pain. Three days ago, about two days after the flying beast had left, a violent plague had suddenly erupted without warning among the rat people, who had suffered from abdominal pain, then black abscesses all over their bodies, and then festering, and the sick rat people died in the endless agony.

Even the priests contracted the disease and died. Temporarily he said that this was the curse of the demon god. But Xiao Xing felt that it seemed to have something to do with those tall giant spirit gods. It has to do with their food. In fact, Xiaoxing didn't eat the sweet food that was distributed to him, he left them for his greedy sister Satsuki. But even so, he could not escape the curse of this evil disease.

The whole village died, and no rats survived the disaster. Why, why are they doing this? Looking at the flying beast that had returned to Acala, Xiaoxing died blindly. Until the last moment, he didn't figure it out.

**

Ten days later.

During the ten-day long journey, in the thrilling wind and waves along the way, this surviving human army finally reached their destination, the Guam Islands. Except for Zhao Xin and two old men who died in the wind and waves due to their frailty, the remaining 19,562 people all arrived at Guam safely.

The bodies of the three of them were buried on the top of the highest mountain in Guam, and their souls will live forever with their fellow citizens, and nothing can separate them.

Of course, before humans landed on Guam, the rat people on the island had completely disappeared in a sudden "plague".

In this small world, there are only human beings now.

People got busy and began to settle themselves.

Humanity is safe.

Far from the mainland, humanity finally has a sense of security. However, the memories of the nezumi were deeply rooted in their minds. It will be a memory that will never be forgotten.

Will they still come here?

Everyone's smile is so reluctant.

On the third day after landing, people were informed that a national meeting was to be held in the makeshift central square.

"Fellow citizens! I have good news for you! ”

More than 10,000 pairs of eyes looked at Lin Yuan together, and Lin Yuan couldn't hide his excitement: "In the past three days, our great engineering unit has blown up and sunk all the islands and reefs within 300 nautical miles of this archipelago to the bottom of the sea. Now, we're safe forever! ”

The crowd cheered.

Nightmares will fade into obscurity, won't they? Survival, for human beings, is the most important thing.

"But we can't be too happy too soon! Although our lives can continue, our civilization must also continue together! If we rest on our laurels, our children and grandchildren will revert to apes! This is by no means alarmist! Fellow citizens, for the sake of our future, we must act now - each and every one of you must master a professional knowledge and become a scientist! This is the obligation of us, every survivor, and it is an unshirkable responsibility! ”

"For humanity, for the future!"

Li Yuan was a little troubled in his heart, so he simply put down his pen and went outside for a walk. The warbler was squatting in the yard with a small shovel in her hand, not knowing what she was doing. Li Yuan walked up to Yingying and asked, "Yingying, what are you doing?" ”

Yingying raised the glass bottle in her hand and said, "Grandpa Li, I'm planting orchid seeds!" When the orchids bloom, it will become a beautiful garden, Grandpa Li, do you think it's good! ”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Well, Yingying is really good!" By the way, did you listen to Uncle Lim? What are you going to be a scientist in the future? Yingying replied, "I've already thought about it, I want to be a language scientist!" In the future, when we go home, we're going to have to talk to those big rats, aren't we? ”

Li Yuan was shocked when he heard this, he gently picked up Yingying and muttered, "Yes, there will be that day!" ”

**

Ten years later.

The island on the horizon is reflected in the glow of the setting sun in a world of red, and it is as beautiful as a dream. In the middle of these two islands, on the grey sea, a majestic Tower Bridge stands proudly.

This is the crystallization of wisdom that human civilization is proud of. Ten years have passed, and human beings have not degraded, and human beings have tenaciously continued their civilization and continued to develop in this small land.

Humanity will never die out of nowhere. Humans have always thought that way, and they have done it.

It's time for a shift change. The last group of oil workers took over their work and could finally take a break. Although it was very hard and tiring, no one complained. Work, work, work hard, for all humanity, but also for yourself and your children.

The wind, blowing gently. The middle-aged man walked to the side of the well, let the sea breeze caress his cheeks, and the tiredness of the day seemed to disappear without a trace.

The big island with tall buildings in front of you is Guam. The setting sun shines over Guam, and the colorful rainbow light is refracted in all directions, which is extremely beautiful. Although he had seen it a thousand times earlier, he still didn't get tired of it.

The sunlight is reflected by a large transparent and ventilated cover made of a special substance that is upside down over Guam, which has been made by humans with countless efforts to resist the ultraviolet rays in the sun.

During this time, humans were trained to gradually adapt to the low-oxygen air environment. But the ultraviolet rays are still difficult for people to adapt to in a short period of time, and the fragile human body cannot still withstand such strong ultraviolet rays. However, in the long run, it will not work in the end, human beings must take off that cumbersome protective clothing, the coalition government is constantly reducing the strength of the ultraviolet protective shield according to the changes in human physique, so that the ultraviolet rays continue to increase, but conservative scientists estimate that it will take at least two hundred years for human beings to completely get rid of this big cover, and optimistic scientists believe that it will take another hundred years for human beings to truly bathe in the embrace of nature.

Human beings can't change nature, so they have to adapt to nature.

There is nothing to complain about, because it is human beings themselves who are responsible for all this. Human beings trampled on their mother earth to the point of dying, and it is human beings themselves who will finally taste the bitter fruit of this bitter fruit.

When the middle-aged man was indulging in the beautiful scenery in front of him, a young man came out of nowhere, came to the middle-aged man, put his hands behind his back, and said to the middle-aged man, "Dad, guess what I found?" ”

"Well, what?" The middle-aged man asked with a loving smile. The boy proudly took out the thing behind him, and it turned out to be a book, the name of the book was "The Age of Discovery".

"Dad, have you read this book? Do you believe that there really are beautiful continents in the world: Asia, America, Africa, Europe and Australia? Ah, it's really hard to imagine, the vast wilderness that stretches as far as the eye can see, the long river that stretches for thousands of kilometers, and all kinds of rare birds and beasts, as well as ...... How wonderful that world is! Dad, can you believe it? ”

"This ...... When you reach the age of twenty, you'll have the right to know everything you want to know! ”

"Why wait until you're twenty?" The boy was a little annoyed, "Is there anything you can't tell us now?" Why? ”

His father wanted to tell him everything, but he shook his head at himself. Do you want to tell him that in the beautiful world he aspires, there are billions of great rats with the same high level of intelligence as humans waiting for us?

"Child, what you need to do now is to work hard to learn well so that you can work hard to realize your dreams in the future, understand?"

The boy sighed: "I really don't understand, what is the government thinking? The government has been encouraging population growth, but the living space for each of us is getting smaller and smaller, and if this continues, one day, this island will be squeezed and sunk by us! If that legendary continent really exists, why don't they send someone to find it? Are we humans going to be trapped forever on such a small island? Why is that? ”

The father was speechless. He was too young. The government naturally has its strategic plan, and the government naturally knows what to do, what not to do, and what to do. But how can these things be explained to him clearly?

The boy's gaze was on the distant space between the sea and the sky, where a convoy of Coalition Government transports was slowly sailing out of the waning sun, cloaked in red glow. The boy muttered: "When I grow up, I must lead our ocean-going fleet to the ends of the earth, and we must find the legendary beautiful new world!" ”

Hearing this, my father was shocked and said secretly: "The Great Voyage Age of the Rat People is about to begin, right?" ”
