Tucker WU, an ordinary worker in the moon base, stared blankly at the wall with a wooden expression. On Earth, he was a senior engineer of a multinational company with a promising future at a young age, but on the moon, where there are so many talents, he is just an ordinary technical worker.
Today, he is sitting in his room, with a small iron square table in front of him and a bottle of Old White Dry on it. Although it is not a famous wine, but it is his favorite drink. Perhaps, this is also the last bottle of Old White Dry in the whole human world.
When landing on the moon, each person was allowed to carry five kilograms of personal belongings, and he, who was addicted to alcohol, directly brought four kilograms of white wine.
And the four kilograms of wine, the whole year has not moved, in his words is "drink not work, work not drink." He spent all his energy on work, ready to survive these years, then return to Earth to enjoy the blessings.
However, everything has become a bubble, in just a few days, the wine was almost drunk, leaving only the last bottle of ... this is to drink to kill sorrow ah!
However, the sorrow is more sorrowful, looking at the photo in his hand, his wife and daughter's smile as clear as just yesterday, Tucker WU's heart ache, his eyes could not help but red.
He picked up the bottle and took a sip. The spicy taste, like gasoline, instantly burned his entire throat, causing him to choke on tears.
But this physical reaction is far less than the psychological pain. He really longed to have a painful hangover, to get drunk and turn the world upside down, to forget his worries, to forget everything ...
The two of them didn't say a word, they just drank like crazy, slept when they got drunk, woke up and drank again, and then got drunk again, and so on, for four days. ...
The TV screen suddenly lit up and Oliver's figure appeared. He spoke out on the TV, "Everyone, I am Oliver, the temporary leader of the moon base. We are now broadcasting a message: just now, we found out the truth about the explosion of the Earth!"
The opening sentence caught the eyes of Tucker WU and Sawyer. They looked at the TV set in unison, their throats shrugging a few times. The truth of the Earth's explosion was their main concern, or rather, everyone's main concern.
"I'm sorry to tell you that we have not received any distress signals from Earth in the past few days, nor have we had any escaped ships, except for the 'Atlantis'. So ... let us observe five minutes of silence."
This sentence almost pronounced the death of seven billion people, like salt in the wound, stabbed everyone's nerves, just an instant, the whole base came from the faint sound of crying.
But this is a fact that mankind must accept, Oliver believes that the long pain is better than the short pain, piercing the illusion that exists in the heart and revealing the truth to get through this phase faster.
Tucker WU is also blue in the face, although the heart has long ceased to expect, but the cruel truth is not so easy to accept, this blunt big truth still makes him unbearable.
"Now, let me tell you the truth about the explosion of the Earth." After five minutes, Oliver made a gesture and every clip of the Earth's destruction began to play on the TV screen:From the super explosion in the Earth's southern hemisphere, to the complete fragmentation, every moment was exceptionally clear.
"Look, everyone, this is a high-resolution image taken through a lunar communication satellite. There is no doubt that the culprit of the Earth's destruction was the super explosion that occurred in the southern hemisphere!"
"After investigation, we found that it was not caused by terrorists, nor was it an asteroid impact on the Earth. After comparing various data indicators, scientists found that more it is not a natural phenomenon, but -"
"It is a, unknown cause, caused by high-tech explosion!"
Oliver raised his voice and played a chart from the slide, "Look, this is the data recorded by the instrument at the moment before the explosion: the angular velocity of the Earth increased in vain by 3.1 thousandths, and the universal gravitational force of the Earth on the Moon also increased by 1.76 thousandths. This is very abnormal!"
"Our instruments at the moment of the explosion, the detection of the equivalent of two million "big billion" level nuclear bomb gamma rays!"
"And we, human beings, do not yet have such energy level of weapons! We humans, no such weapons can even change the Earth's gravity."
"Then, the biggest possibility is that some unknown alien civilization has launched a devastating strike against humanity!"
When these words came out, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air in unison, but when they thought about it carefully, there was some truth to it. These days, the existence of aliens is already known to everyone, because there is an alien civilization's spaceship on the moon, this is not a secret.
But are aliens really friendly? I'm afraid not. Numerous works of science fiction have depicted civilizations in deadly wars, the more famous of which is the "Dark Forest Theory" ...
When all this really happened to the human head, everyone was heavy with anger, fear and despair. People were silent, silently digesting what they had heard.
Tucker WU's expression was unmoved, but his movements behind the scenes betrayed him. His tightly clenched fist even trembled slightly, and his five fingers could be said to be white and blue.
It was overwhelming anger, the original despair and hurt turned into the fuel of anger, burning up. It took a while before Tucker WU let go of his hands, a calm at the height of his rage.
"Fortunately, we, the human race, are not extinct because of this. Our moon base, we are still alive - 51,223 people." Oliver said, word for word.
"51223 people is an exact number, including you, including me, including all of us who are alive ... Among them are black, white and yellow, the last fires of humanity, and any one of them is related to the future continuation of humanity."
"Our goal is: to live! Not just for revenge, and not just for human civilization, but also for the sake of those who have passed away. Our parents and families far away in heaven must also want us to live, to live well ..."
"O fellow countrymen, stand up, unite for this goal, each of us must do our part!"
"We are the last of humanity, and we will fight for the continuation of humanity! From now on, we will be regardless of nationality, regardless of race ... We must stand up and snuggle with each other in order to live well ah!" Oliver said emotionally, next, he briefly said that the base is now facing the food crisis situation, but mainly focused on the positive side, people just need to work hard, you can solve these problems.
Hearing this, Tucker WU's tears could not help but flow down, he muttered, "When I came to Earth, is to 300,000 U.S. dollars a year, the future back to live a good life ... but now my parents are gone, my wife and daughter are gone, what is the meaning of my life? "
His vocal cords were burned by alcohol, and so many days did not speak, this sentence came out, his voice raspy and terrible.
Sawyer sitting across from him poured himself a glass of wine and drained it in one gulp, coughing spicy straight. He suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Old Wang ah, people live, still need any reason? I have no wife, and my parents have long since passed away, but I will always remember my mother's last words."
"She said: Chao ah, you are not young, hurry up and get a wife! Mom is most worried about this ah."
Speaking of this, Sawyer choked up, "I want to live, the future to marry a wife, have a child, no, have two ... I want to be worthy of my mother ... I can not let him down! "
"I want to live, I don't have a girlfriend ... yet," Sawyer said and couldn't go on.
Hearing this, Tucker WU lowered his head, not knowing if he was crying or what, "You guys want me to live well too, right?"
"Come on, drink this and the last one!"
