It's a new life (end of text)
The voting results came out quickly.
67.33 versus 32.67.
Many people walked out of their homes and onto the streets. There were countless large screens hanging on the tall buildings on the streets, but the same face was shown on all the screens.
It’s Luo Tan’s face.
She sat in the center of the studio, with no one behind her but an ordinary blue screen.
From the perspective of setting, this seems to be no different from the fixed news programs every day in the past, but in fact, it determines the future destiny of mankind.
Even those who were still at home stopped what they were doing at the same time and listened patiently to Luo Chen's words.
"According to the statistics, out of 100 people, about 67 people think that we should continue to fight to the end, and about 33 people think that we should temporarily surrender to the aliens in exchange for a chance of survival."
"From an emotional point of view, I admire the boundless courage of those 67 people. From a rational point of view, I also understand the choice made by those 33 people."
"According to the previous rule that the minority obeys the majority, I declare——"
Luo Tan raised his head.
She was supposed to only see the camera.
But from her eyes, the audience felt as if her gaze had pierced through the camera, pierced through the TV screens of millions of households, and reached the blue sky with a warning dialog box hanging on it.
She's talking directly to the aliens!
Everyone suddenly realized.
Luo Chen said loudly: "I am speaking here on behalf of all mankind - mankind will not surrender, mankind will not become your puppets, we will fight consistently until the end of time, until the depths of the universe, please, get out of our galaxy!"
The TV screen went out.
But the people on the street remained silent, seemingly savoring the experience quietly.
After a long time, continuous applause rang out from the streets and spread to thousands of homes.
…
After an unknown amount of time, the words in the dialogue box hanging in the sky changed.
Some people stopped to watch in astonishment, and then found that the 19 words had become two words:
"very good."
It feels like gnashing teeth.
Then it became——
"In two hours, the earth will explode. I hope you all can become the brightest firework in the universe."
…
In the first half hour after the explosion threat appeared, all scientists were constantly thinking about what would cause the earth to explode.
They thought from internal causes to external causes, and linked the earth's collapse due to uneven force to a planet colliding with the earth.
Soon, they fell into despair.
There are a myriad of possible reasons.
No one knows from what angle a higher being will crush an ant.
Do they have to wait until two hours later, at the moment of their death, to find out what exactly destroyed the earth?
…
When the countdown reached one and a half hours, astronomical observers were surprised to find that -
A strange-looking interstellar object is heading towards the earth at an extremely high speed!
Based on its speed, it is estimated that it will reach the Earth in exactly one and a half hours!
Scientists immediately began to observe and study the interstellar weapon, trying to analyze its composition and develop countermeasures.
.
While the scientists were scratching their heads and thinking hard, Luo Tan was looking through props in the system mall.
At this time, she noticed a prop called "lever".
Prop Description: Give me a fulcrum, and I can move the whole earth! This is a magical lever. You can use the lever principle to pry anything you want to pry! Come and try it! Of course, if you want to use it to replace the seesaw, that's also possible!
Luo Tan was overjoyed.
She said to Xiao Ai, "I want to redeem this!"
Xiao Ai: "After testing, host, you currently have 1500 points. The price of this item is 1200 points. Are you sure you want to redeem this item?"
Luo Tan hesitated for a moment, then looked through all the items in the mall, and was sure that none of them looked more reliable than the lever, so he simply said, "Deal, deal, deal!"
The next second, a huge lever appeared in Luo Tan's hand.
To be precise, only she can see the lever and use her mind to control it to pry things.
Since the aliens are launching interstellar weapons at the earth, as long as the interstellar weapons do not have their own tracking and positioning systems, she can use this lever to change the position of the earth and make the weapons inaccurate!
Even if we take a step back, the interstellar weapon has its own tracking and positioning system, which can firmly lock the position of the earth.
Narotan can also pry the Earth after each interstellar weapon corrects its position, so that it will always be in a state of crazy position correction, but will never be able to shoot accurately. This is just like walking the interstellar weapon like a monkey!
Luo Tan applauded his own idea until——
She asked Xiao Ai in confusion: "Is this prop of yours fake? The earth can't be moved at all!"
Xiao Ai: "Host, you are on Earth, so of course you can't pry it open. Have you ever seen someone pry himself open?"
Luo Tan said angrily: "Then you are just engaging in false marketing! You clearly said that you can move the earth!"
Xiao Ai: "Moving the earth is just a figure of speech called a metaphor! Besides, this is not fake marketing. As long as you stand outside the earth, you can still move it!"
Luo Chen: Does this make sense? If she dares to leave the earth now, she will probably be controlled by the aliens who are eyeing her covetously in the next second!
Luo Tan thought of another idea.
Since the earth cannot be pried open.
But this lever applies to all objects, so the interstellar weapons flying towards them can always be pried open, right?
She wanted it to go back to where it came from, like playing golf!
However, this time it failed again.
Luo Tan did not get angry but laughed: "I want to hear what excuses you have this time?"
Xiao Ai was about to cry: "Host, you know that the principle of leverage is based on physics, right? But for that interstellar weapon, physics no longer exists."
Luo Tan: “…”
.
On the other hand, scientists' research results are not very good.
They used all known means to analyze the movement path of interstellar weapons, and found that the path could not be changed within the existing technological framework.
Even the most explosive interceptor missiles cannot cause significant damage to interstellar weapons.
"What about the countermeasures?"
A young scholar raised his head and asked the respected expert.
The expert sighed and said, "What are you thinking? We are too far away from the alien planet. We can't send missiles to their homeland."
"Besides, counterattack..."
The experts' eyes were filled with despair: "Countermeasures are only discussed between equal subjects, how can unequal subjects talk about countermeasures? Humans can accidentally step on an ant to death, but what about ants? The only way they can express their dissatisfaction is to bite humans in their last struggle, and they will encounter hard soles."
The young scholar looked at his teacher unwillingly: "Then there is no other way?"
The expert's smile was pale under the light: "Wait for fate, wait for a miracle."
.
"Dad, do you think we will survive?"
"Dad doesn't know either, that's why we're standing here."
In the temples in the suburbs, there were many people who came to pray. They took the incense passed by the monks and nuns, lit it in front of the Buddha statue, knelt down, and made a wish that all mankind would overcome the difficulties.
Many more people were also praying and blessing at home, with their hands clasped together and tears streaming down their faces.
As ordinary people, facing the impending crisis for all humanity, the only thing they can do is to pray devoutly in their hearts.
Pray for God's blessing and pray for a miracle to happen.
.
Half an hour before the interstellar weapon hit the earth, Xu Cheng went from the police station to the mayor's residence, where members of the royal family were working.
Simba, the white-haired butler, was standing in front of Luo Chen's door. When he saw him coming, he nodded and said, "May mankind live forever."
Xu Cheng also repeated: "May mankind live forever."
This is a slogan widely sung among the people.
When the news began to spread inside the palace, it proved that even they were helpless.
Before knocking on the door, Xu Cheng said to Simba: "I'm going to tell her everything."
They both knew what he was going to say.
Simba was stunned for a moment at first, and then his response was to knock on the door for Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment: "I thought you would stop me."
Simba shook his head: "I understand how you feel."
Xu Cheng sighed lightly: "Before the final moment comes, I think she has the right to know the truth."
"Come in." Luo Tan's voice came from inside the room.
Simba blinked and said, "Go in and spend the last half hour with her."
…
When Xu Cheng spoke the so-called truth, Luo Chen's first reaction was, "Am I still dreaming?" His second reaction was, "Is Xu Cheng crazy?"
But Xu Cheng's next words completely shattered her fantasy: "Not only me, but everyone can hear it."
No wonder Andre was crazy and wanted to assassinate her. She had thought he had a special device that could detect the system in her brain.
No wonder Nicholas insisted on adopting her as his goddaughter. It seems he no longer wants to have sex with her!
No wonder the parachute company also wanted to assassinate her. What a joke! They had exposed their plans so many times, who else would they kill if not you?
She always thought that they wanted to assassinate Xu Cheng, and she was just a defensive move, but she didn't expect that she was the real target!
And in the more distant past, no wonder Xu Cheng, Li Juan, Hei Ge and others...
Luo Chen's murderous gaze roamed over Xu Cheng's face, and then he pointedly questioned: "You can't be doing this because of this..."
This is the key question! Xu Cheng quickly denied it: "No, no, of course I don't like you because of this! I really like you!"
洛譚感覺自己快碎了。
她難以置信地說:“所以我的每一句心理活動,你們都能聽見?”
這也太社死了吧!她要當場離開這個美麗的世界!
自诩心理有三層、外人不可知的洛譚真的要崩潰了!
許城連忙搖頭:“不是不是,只有一部分心聲我們能聽見,大多都和預知有關,比如你現在的想法,我們就聽不見。”
洛譚狐疑道:“真的?”
許城猛點頭。
這次,洛譚嘗試着把心理活動默念了出來,且帶上了強烈的感情色彩。
然後,她對上了許城躲閃的眼神。
“這次聽見了?”
“聽見了。”
洛譚:“……”
她想死的心都有了。
她悲憤地說:“你說說你,知道就知道了,聽到就聽到了,為什麽還要告訴我呢?如果要告訴我,為什麽不早點告訴我呢?你這個時候告訴我,讓我在□□毀滅之前遭遇一次社會性死亡很光榮是嗎?”
許城低頭,安靜如雞,大氣都不敢出。
這時,洛譚聽見了小愛的聲音在她的腦海裏響起:“恭喜宿主知曉隐藏技能,達成隐藏條件,解鎖升級技能:念念不忘,必有回響。”
什麽玩意?
洛譚隐約察覺到了一點異樣,她咬牙切齒地對小愛說:“小愛,原來你也知道我的心聲會往外洩露啊!”
小愛:“呃,個人綁定預知系統的話,是無法把預言說出口的,所以我就買一贈一附帶了一個技能,讓宿主您可以享有輸出心聲的技能。”她的聲音越到後面,就越來越低。
怪不得,這個傻瓜系統從來都不督促她完成任務!
原來早有預謀了!
洛譚點進系統主面板一看,發現她的技能欄除了“預知”,竟又多了一項“心聲洩露”。
看樣子這是事情已經敗露,裝也不裝了!
她點進去一看,發現“念念不忘,必有回響”是“心聲洩露”的進階技能。
她剛要退出,卻一眼注意到了技能說明。
技能說明:科技與信念向來是争論多年的恒久命題。大多數人認為,科技通常決定了絕對實力的高低,但你相信念念不忘,必有回響嗎?試着在心中說一句話吧,帶着最大的信念感。當你的心聲傳遞出去的時候,草能聽見,樹能聽見,建築能聽見,古往今來人類所有的記憶都能聽見……當彙聚于各方的信念達成合力的時候,或許會發生意想不到的奇跡呢!
附加說明:該技能釋放僅限一次。
洛譚的心跳忽然加速了。
“小愛,這個技能說明,是我以為的意思嗎?”
小愛歡快的聲音響起:“或許就是宿主以為的意思呢,快來試試吧。”
洛譚心裏吐槽,這話說了跟沒說一樣。
要不是她剛剛被坑過,她也不會特意追問一句。
不過現在,只能死馬當活馬醫了吧。
洛譚點亮了技能說明下方“使用技能”的按鈕。
然後她閉上眼睛,雙手合十,在心中默念:
【我希望這顆星球上古往今來積攢的所有力量可以助我,讓朝着地球飛來的星際武器調頭,炸毀發射它的源頭——異星。】
洛譚放下雙手,輕輕松了一口氣。
她看見,“念念不忘,必有回響”技能的狀态變成了“已使用。”
她一轉頭,看見許城震驚的目光望向她。
“你剛才……剛才那道聲音似乎與之前都不一樣,有種恢宏大氣,震耳欲聾的感覺。”
洛譚:……得,差點忘了,連花草樹木都能聽到的聲音,人類更能聽得見了。
.
距離星際武器撞擊地球僅剩最後十分鐘。
在郊外寺廟祈禱的人們,忽然齊齊擡起頭,他們剛剛聽到了一道異常恢宏的女聲,而就在下一秒,他們隐隐約約覺得,空氣中似乎有什麽東西不一樣了。
他們剛才許下的諾言和禱告化為了閃着金光的具象的文字,星星點點地排列整齊,如同載着光陰的列車跨越空間,飛上蒼穹。
寺廟種植的百年樹木的枝葉齊晃,發出窸窣作響的聲音,就像是它們也在發出應和。
……
在家中雙手合十默默祈禱的人們,他們聽見了在家中的某個位置,傳來了小小的爆炸聲。
待他們找到聲音傳來的位置,才驚訝地發現,那不是爆炸,而是儲存着亡故親人記憶的瓶子的瓶蓋被莫名頂開了。
他們想要重新扣上,卻無論如何也扣不上。
就像是有一股積攢了多年的力量想要沖出來。
……
近幾十年,人類的記憶被儲存了起來。
而再往前的所有時光,人類的記憶與信念被揚在風裏,被化進雨中,又随着雨水降臨大地帶來甘霖,融進每一處建築中,埋在最深層的土壤下。
但在這一刻,它們都現身了。
洛譚感受到一陣輕柔的風從窗外吹了進來,然後,她的眼前呈現出了一幕幻境。
不,那或許不是幻境,而是地球和人類的史詩——
地球與忒伊亞相撞而爆炸,形成了原始的海洋,最原始的生命從海洋深處誕生。
寒武紀來臨,海洋中生命大爆發,大量無脊椎動物出現,進入适者生存的時代。
植物出現,螯肢動物出現,魚類出現,脊椎動物的時代來臨。
伽馬射線爆,第一次物種大滅絕。
……
脊椎動物從海洋登陸。
小行星撞擊,第二次物種大滅絕。
……
三疊紀物種大滅絕。
……
翼龍出現,恐龍出現,哺乳動物出現。
三疊紀末物種大滅絕。
……
侏羅紀,恐龍迎來了盛世。
白垩紀,第一只中華鳥的起飛。
白垩紀物種大滅絕。
……
新生代來臨。
靈長類動物出現,鳥類、象類、鯨類、犀類、鯊類出現,在地球上繁衍生息。
南方古猿出現。
能人第一次嘗試使用石器。
直立人出現。
人類學會用火。
智人出現。
人類文明誕生。
……
人類進入現代,洛譚看見了她的時代。
人類進入星際時代,走入太空。
……
從地球第一次誕生生命伊始,古往今來所有存在過的生命留下的痕跡化作力量滔天的信念,螺旋式升入天空。
就在星際武器即将擊中地球的剎那,不同來源的信念構成的力量終于彙聚成型,形成了一層堅硬的保護罩罩住了地球。
下一秒,星際武器調頭,朝着它的來源飛去!
.
“我們得救了?”
實驗室中的專家學者們注視着圖像中離地球漸漸遠去的星際武器,不敢置信地發出了吼聲。
……
緊緊擁抱在一起的戀人遲遲沒有聽到早該響起的爆炸聲,驚疑不定地睜開眼,下一刻,他們開始瘋狂地接吻。
……
“但是,如果異星再向我們發射星際武器該怎麽辦?”
青年學者詢問他的老師。
白發蒼蒼的專家捋着胡子:“希望到那個時候,人類能夠想出新的辦法。”
“或許,”他的臉上露出一絲久違笑容:“那顆星際武器真能如陛下所希望的那樣,把異星炸毀呢?”
所有的科學家們研究員們都密切地注視着天體成像中的畫面,希冀着夢寐以求的那個畫面能夠出現。
不知等了多久——
“老師!星際武器似乎真的往異星去了啊!”
“不好!它轉向了!”
在所有人的密切注視下,那顆星際武器旋轉了一個微妙的弧度,偏離了異星的方向。
專家懊惱道:“我就知道沒那麽容易的。這顆星際武器是異星發射的,它們自然能夠改變它的方向,想要它們偷雞不成蝕把米,還是比登天都難啊。”
就在這時——
青年學者:“天哪,那是什麽?”
專家揉了揉老花的眼睛,定睛一看,卻看見在星際武器的上方,突然出現了一柄巨大的杠杆。
等等?杠杆?
下一秒,那柄巨大的杠杆的一側被無形的力量一壓,另一側以驚人的巨力一揚,就如同打高爾夫球一樣擊飛了星際武器!
下一瞬,星際武器擊中了異星。
如同一枚細小尖銳的石子敲進了蛋殼,沖擊波在接觸星球的一瞬間釋放出來,形成了一個迅速擴張的火球,将周圍黑暗的太空染成了耀眼的橙紅色。
而這僅僅是個開始。
星球的表面開始破裂,大氣層被撕裂,形成一道道翻滾的氣體雲。從外至內,異星核心的重力無法抵抗這種內部的爆發,星球開始解體。
無數的星球碎片彈射而出,彈射進異星的軌道形成圓環,下一瞬,碎片開始劇烈燃燒。
異星不複存在,取而代之的是一個由熾熱物質組成的環狀結構,以及圍繞着它旋轉的微小殘骸。
……
宇宙的爆炸總是無聲的。
生命的消亡也是無聲的。
但人類,活了下來。
……
“我們得救了?”
許城一把抱起洛譚,激動地吻向洛譚的額頭,他的眼圈紅了。
當許城的吻印下來的時候,洛譚聽見自己“嗯”了一聲。
她的目光越過許城的肩膀,透過窗戶,掃過大街上建築裏因為劫後餘生正在歡呼雀躍載歌載舞的人群,卻不加停留,而是望更遠的方向眺望,那是高山、海洋和天空的方向。
她想,生命真是一種奇跡。
Thinking of this, she took a step back and when Xu Cheng was about to say something, she stretched out a finger to stop him from saying anything, and then took the initiative and kissed him.
Seal with lips.
