Chapter 477: Goodbye Earth! [Below]
Li Tomb really doesn't know, he doesn't know whether the things he is doing now are the right choice, in the face of the unknowable future, in the face of the unknowable fate, no one can know whether his choice is right or not.
Maybe the general knew, maybe the general didn't know either, otherwise he wouldn't have wandered in this starry sky for so many years, and couldn't find another place where the terrestrial people could make it their home.
But I have to say that the so-called future that I learned from the general gave Li Tomb a great inspiration. He didn't know why the general's future self would choose to provoke the Third Space War.
But he tried to think, think rationally, if the general really saw a future that belonged to him, then maybe the only thing he could do before the future that he didn't know whether it was good or bad came was to be more prepared before that future came.
If this is fate, then this time he will not be at the mercy of fate, he will take control of his life, even if his future is to become a feared tyrant, even if he will become a war starter who has caused an unknown number of deaths.
But it doesn't matter, if this is the future, this is fate, he admits it, he prepares everything, and fights a battle to defend the future. If not, then he would admit it, because at least that's where he can see.
The universe is so big that you can't see the future. So even if there is only one possible direction, it is worth making people desperately move forward.
Although up to now, he still hasn't fully figured out what he can get, even if his plan succeeds and really makes the future what the general sees? But he at least knew that he had nothing left to lose.
It may be difficult to understand this idea of Li Tomb, but it is okay. Li Tomb knew that the professor would understand, the young girl would understand, and even the general would understand, because they were all people who walked alone in this vast universe, vainly trying to find a better future for the racial civilization.
So Li Tomb didn't have any more explanations, he just took Qingnu and the professor to see it. That starry sky will speak for itself.
The starry sky that has turned thousands of times in his mind, haunting his heart, and is determined not to change, but he has not seen it for a long time, and only when he dreams back at midnight will he remember that starry sky, and he doesn't know if it has completely changed its appearance now.
Qingnu and the professor didn't know where Li Tomb was going to take them, but they also calmed down and waited patiently.
A month later. The cold battleship finally stopped, this is a beautiful starry sky, the nine planets are constantly rotating around the sun day and night, Li Tomb opened the skylight, and tried to search for a touch of blue in the starry sky, but he failed.
The original blue planet had already changed color, just as it had been when he left. The earth is yellow and desolate, and it looks a little scary.
Li Tomb didn't know after he left. What had happened to the planet that had once nurtured him, but apparently the Earth had only existed in his memory.
Memory is sometimes really a sad thing, things are wrong, everything is resting, how can a sad choke.
"Where is this?"
The young girl looked at the strange starry sky and asked.
They trekked through the stars for a month. Is it just to see this galaxy where no life exists? Although the battleship has not yet landed on any planet, judging by the condition of the scanner, there is indeed no life in this starry sky.
"The planet."
The professor gestured to the earth, "It looks a little different. I can feel the sadness that remains on that planet...... And despair. ”
The professor said this, and looked at the tomb of Li. Waiting for the answer from the tomb of Lee.
"Do you feel it too?"
Li Tomb muttered in a low voice, "Let's land." I came from there, and I will come back here. ”
Qingnu's face suddenly changed slightly, although she had a faint guess in her heart, Li Tomb's answer still made her feel a little palpitating. The professor was silent, but suddenly understood why he felt so much despair and sadness in Li Tomb when he first saw Li Tomb.
It turns out that he once had everything, it turns out that he now has nothing. Even the Qingnu was silent, although the experience of the Qingtu people was sad, it seemed to be much, too much worse than this planet that had lost everything and became sad and desperate.
The battleship was approaching the earth inch by inch, and Li Tomb stood in front of the skylight, looking at the slowly approaching planet, after many years, it was still here, constantly rotating.
But the people above, the mountains, the flowers, the sea, are no longer visible. He could only see the desolation in his eyes, and the sorrow after the sea withered and the rocks rotted.
Years later, he was back here, still alone.
"I once swore that what I lost, I would one day get it back."
Li Tomb spoke slowly, "It's a pity that I didn't expect to lose it before I could get everything back." ”
The professor and the young girl didn't understand what Li Tomb said, but Li Tomb didn't explain either, the battleship broke through the atmosphere and got closer and closer to the ground, and the data from the scanning system was a little shocking.
"It's like hell, it's been devastated. Oh my God, could it be a meteorite eruption? ”
Someone exclaimed, with the extent of the damage to the earth, except for the explosive attack of the meteorite, he couldn't find a better way to destroy the surface of this planet so completely for a while.
"Shut up. Meteorite attack, can there still be such a strong residual radiation? Can there still be crystal wall pits left after the particle cannon bombardment? ”
The noise of several observers did not make Li Tomb's expression change in any way, the battleship slowly landed, the hatch opened, and the astonishing radiation, as well as the various toxic substances that remained, swept in in an instant, making the sirens on the battleship continuous.
Everyone was a little frightened and hurriedly put on the respiratory system of the battle armor.
Li Tomb didn't do this, he just stepped out, looking at the yellow sand, the desert, the earth, the sky, and then took a deep breath, wrapped in radiation, toxic substances, and sand and dust air into his throat, nasal cavity, a little hot, but he couldn't help laughing.
Laughing, laughing, it seems that tears are falling, but it seems to be just an illusion, evaporating in an instant. The professor and the young girl looked at him, and he walked into the yellow sand alone.
Everywhere there are dust storms with tornadoes in the atmosphere, and the destroyed atmosphere allows cosmic rays, solar radiation, to shine down without any shelter, and they are right, this is hell.
He walked in a bit of a daze in the yellow sand, the wind, the broken hell, back and forth, round and round, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west, sometimes to stop, sometimes to the sky.
It seemed that he had gone a long way, but the young girl and the professor knew that he had actually been spinning all the time, like a child trapped in a maze, unable to get out, unable to exit, trapped in place, unable to escape, unable to hide.
Finally, tired of walking, he stopped, and sat on a sand dune blown by the wind, he could see the sky, but not the horizon, he could fly over the universe, but here he was at a loss.
He grabbed a handful of sand and stood tall against the wind, and the young girl looked at this scene with some embarrassment, she wondered if he was hiding in the wind and sand and crying.
But the young girl still didn't know after all, because when he turned his head, when the wind and sand left, he just pursed his lips tightly in her eyes, just like before, cold, cold, indifferent, as if alienated from the whole universe, that cold gaze that made people feel terrible, as if he didn't care about everything anymore.
"Is this the planet he once was?"
Qingnu looked at the professor, she couldn't believe it, when Li Tomb appeared in front of her, it seemed that he would always be so cold, mysterious, and powerful, and there seemed to be nothing that could move him.
So she admired his strength and aweed his coldness, but she never thought that his past would be so unsearchable, at this time he was standing in the wind and sand, still strong, still cold, still upright, but suddenly made people feel that he was so fragile, there seemed to be countless despair and sadness in the wind and sand, surrounding him, making people feel sad.
"It's the same end of the world."
The professor suddenly remembered a sentence that he seemed to have said inadvertently on a certain day, and at that time he still felt a somewhat abrupt and inexplicable sentence, but at this moment it was so clear and clear, and the words were in the bones, making people sigh.
This made him suddenly think of the words he had persuaded Qingnu to believe in Li Tomb, those who know how to cherish will never be bad. Maybe Li Tomb has begun to wonder if he doesn't remember what he wanted to cherish at the beginning, just pushed by inertia, pushed by fate, and walked down in a daze.
But the professor suddenly saw in Li Tomb the desire to cherish everything, and he never changed, even if he even began to forget the woman he wanted to find in the first place, and even began to think of her when he dreamed back at midnight, forcing himself to forget her.
But in fact, he always remembered that it was so unforgettable that he wanted to cherish it, even in this hellish ruin, he didn't have a sinking heart, how could he really forget what he wanted to cherish.
It's just that what he wants to cherish begins to become more, and such emotions force him to selectively forget some things, some people, because he wants to cherish more, he wants to get back, more!
Li Tomb didn't know that the professor and the young girl thought a lot at this time as if they were empathetic, he just stood quietly in the wind and sand, watching the yellow sand floating, the world sinking, closed his eyes, everything seemed to be restored in front of his eyes, spreading out from this yellow sand land, divided into two roads, one leading to his hometown, and the other was also.
Those landscapes that were once not worth mentioning, cities that are much the same, are reshaped on these two roads, so clear that they seem to be within reach.
But when he stretched out his hand, he could only touch the wind and sand like a knife, lowered his head, and could only see a barrenness, when he fell with a fist with some anger, smashing the wind and sand, what appeared in front of him was just some rotten fragments, bits and pieces of China, the earth, and human beings......
He let out a long sigh, suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky covered by wind and sand, and through the shattered atmosphere, he saw cold warships, slowly assembling in space. (To be continued......)
