"Everyone here, our country is now in a critical situation. Do you agree with this?"
The chief looked at everyone.
Everyone fell silent.
"We are not sure when this virus will end. I want to remind you that peace is never given for free. After this plague war, there will be more severe tests waiting for us. The situation in this world has changed. After this disaster, how many people will be left in the world? Will people with weapons use weapons to demand food? Do we have enough food? These questions... every one of them is related to our life and death. Everyone, at this time, don't quarrel, let alone fight for personal gain. What's more, we are facing more than just a crisis that may be brought by neighboring countries. There are also crises from outside the planet. If there really is such a test in the universe, I ask you, what are your plans?" The leader looked at them.
Everyone present fell silent. Some couldn't believe the leader actually believed in aliens. Some wanted to refute him, but the leader looked at them in silence.
"General Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Mo, who had been silent all the time, looked at everyone present, and a solemn and murderous aura instantly suppressed the overly active ministers present.
"We must consider the authenticity of this matter. If the thirty-year investigation is true, then we need more information."
"Comrades, what do you think?" The leader suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Xuening and others.
"There is still one chance." Wei Zizhou looked at the leader.
"?" After hearing Wei Zizhou's words, everyone didn't understand what he was saying.
"From what I understand, that alien really dislikes meetings. Last time, at such a meeting, they just blew the head off the person who talked the most," Wei Zizhou explained. However, his explanation was too graphic, making everyone present, especially the talkative ones, even more uneasy, as if a nail had been stuck in their buttocks. Why did it feel like there was something else going on?
"You mean you still have another chance to contact each other?" Chen Mo looked at Wei Zizhou.
Wei Zizhou nodded.
"Well, tonight, all of you should take this as the truth and think about the questions you want to ask. This concerns the fate of our country, and especially the fate of humanity. Please give it some thought."
"This is not a joke!" the leader solemnly stated again.
After a moment of silence, everyone quieted down. Although some still refused to believe it, the atmosphere in the conference room made them slowly start to think. What if... what if it really existed? What if theirs wasn't the only planet? What would happen to their Earth?
Liu Zhiyuan thought for less than three seconds before immediately giving up on the question. He felt that either answer was too difficult, and neither offered a glimmer of hope for humanity. He was used to dismissing questions that only offered despair. For now, it would be better to do something practical to make him feel more at ease.
Liu Zhiyuan quietly approached Xie Yan, because Xie Yan was closest to him. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that he had chosen the wrong person to chat with.
"Hey, brothers, let me ask you, what do the aliens you saw look like?"
Xie Yan: ...
A moment of silence was Liu Zhiyuan's answer, and he also felt a little uneasy.
"Do you think they will believe it?" Xu Xuening asked Xie Yan.
"They must believe it." Xie Yan immediately answered Xu Xuening's question.
"Why?" Liu Zhiyuan looked at Xie Yan with some curiosity.
However, Xie Yan's response to Liu Zhiyuan was still silence.
Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but scratch his ears awkwardly. How unpopular was he? Or was it because he was not a woman?
"I think..." Xu Xuening looked at those people and asked worriedly, "Is it because thirty years seems like a long time to them, so they ignored it?"
Thirty years is not a long time in the vast universe, and for life on Earth, it is just a blink of an eye. However, for an individual human being, it is a considerable period of time in life.
But do these people here, the small group who determine the fate of this country, really not understand the significance of these thirty years? Or are they simply paralyzing themselves and refusing to believe it?
At night, the seconds ticked by, the minutes ticked by. Even as the sky neared dawn, the dozen or so leaders present seemed to remain mired in silence.
Is it really that difficult to ask questions?
Xu Xuening looked at them suspiciously.
It wasn't difficult, but they were overthinking it. If this were true, each of them had already calculated countless possibilities in their minds late at night. However, every possible outcome was not what they wanted.
