Chapter 15: Mobilization

Wang Zhiyuan is an ordinary worker at the lunar base. He stared at the wall blankly with a wooden expression. When he was on Earth, he was a senior engineer of a multinational company at a young age and had a bright future. But on the moon, which is full of talents, he is just an ordinary technical worker.

Now, he is sitting in his room, in front of a small iron square table with a bottle of Lao Baigan on it. Although it is not a famous wine, it is his favorite. Perhaps, this is also the last bottle of Lao Baigan in the entire human world.

When landing on the moon, everyone was allowed to carry five kilograms of personal belongings. He, who loves alcohol, directly brought four kilograms of liquor.

And these four kilograms of liquor have not been touched for a whole year. In his words, "drinking without working, working without drinking." He spent all his energy on work, ready to survive these years and return to Earth to enjoy life.

However, everything became a bubble. In just a few days, the wine was almost drunk, and only the last bottle was left... This is drinking to drown sorrows!

However, drinking to drown one's sorrows only makes one more sorrowful. Looking at the photos in his hand, the smiles of his wife and daughter are as clear as if they were seen yesterday. Wang Zhiyuan felt a pain in his heart and his eyes turned red.

He picked up the bottle and took a big gulp. The spicy taste was like gasoline, instantly burning his entire throat and choking him to tears.

But this physiological reaction was far less painful than the psychological pain. He really wanted to have a good hangover, get drunk to the point of forgetting his troubles and everything...

Sitting opposite him was his roommate Zhao Chao, who was also accompanying Wang Zhiyuan with a sad face. The two of them didn't say a word, but just drank crazily. When they were drunk, they went to sleep, and when they woke up, they continued to drink, and then got drunk again. This repeated, and they spent four days in decadence...

At this time, the TV screen suddenly lit up, and Yu Yifeng appeared. He said on the TV, "Everyone, I am Yu Yifeng, the temporary leader of the lunar base. Now broadcast a message: Just now, we found out the truth about the explosion of the earth!"

This sentence at the beginning attracted the attention of Wang Zhiyuan and Zhao Chao. They all looked at the TV, their throats twitched a few times. The truth about the earth's explosion was what they cared about most, or rather, what everyone cared about most.

"I'm sorry to tell you that we haven't received any distress signals from the earth in the past few days. There has been no escaped spacecraft except the Victory. So... let's observe a five-minute silence."

This sentence almost sentenced the death of seven billion people, like salt in the wound, which stung everyone's nerves. In just a moment, faint cries came from the entire base.

But this is a fact that humans must accept. Yu Yifeng believes that it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. Only by piercing the fantasy in the heart and revealing the truth can we get through this stage faster.

Wang Zhiyuan's face was also livid. Although he had no hope in his heart, the cruel fact was not so easy to accept. This straightforward truth still made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Now, let me tell you the truth about the earth explosion." Five minutes later, Yu Yifeng made a gesture, and the TV screen began to play every clip of the earth's destruction: from the super explosion in the southern hemisphere of the earth to the complete disintegration, every moment was extremely clear.

"Look, this is a high-resolution image taken by the lunar communication satellite. There is no doubt that the culprit of the earth's destruction is the super explosion in the southern hemisphere!"

"After investigation, we found that it was not caused by terrorists, nor was it an asteroid hitting the earth. After comparing various data indicators, scientists found that it was not a natural phenomenon, but -"

"It is an explosion caused by high technology for unknown reasons!"

Yu Yifeng raised his voice and played a chart from the slide, "Look, this is the data recorded by the instrument just before the explosion: the angular velocity of the earth increased in vain It is 3.1 thousandths bigger, and the Earth's gravitational pull on the Moon has also increased by 1.76 thousandths. This is very abnormal! "

"At the moment of the explosion, our instruments detected gamma rays equivalent to 2 million "big billion" nuclear bombs!"

"And we humans do not yet have weapons of such energy level! We humans do not have such weapons that can even change the Earth's gravity."

"Then, the biggest possibility is that an unknown alien civilization has launched a devastating attack on humans!"

When this was said, everyone took a breath, but after thinking about it carefully, there is some truth. These days, the existence of aliens is well known, because there are alien civilization spaceships on the moon, which is not a secret.

However, are aliens really friendly? I'm afraid not. A large number of science fiction works have depicted life-and-death wars between civilizations, among which the more famous one is the "Dark Forest Theory"...

When all this really happened to humans, everyone was heavy and breathless, some were angry, some were afraid, and some were desperate. Everyone was silent, silently digesting what they heard.

Wang Zhiyuan's expression was motionless, but his actions behind his back betrayed him. His tightly clenched fists even trembled slightly, and his five fingers turned white and blue.

This was incomparable anger, and the original despair and pain turned into fuel for the anger, burning fiercely. After a long while, Wang Zhiyuan let go of his hands, which was a kind of extreme calmness of anger.

"Fortunately, we humans have not become extinct because of this. Our lunar base is still alive - 51,223 people." Yu Yifeng said word by word.

"51,223 people is an exact number, including you, me, and all of us who are alive... Among them are blacks, whites, and yellows. They are the last spark of humanity, and every one of them is related to the continuation of humanity in the future."

"Our goal is to survive! Not only for revenge, not only for human civilization, but also for those who have passed away. Parents and family members in heaven must also hope that we can survive and live well..."

"Comrades, stand up, unite for this goal, and each of us must do our best!"

"We are the last humans, and we will fight for the continuation of humanity! From now on, we will not distinguish between nationalities or races... We must stand up and lean on each other to survive well!" Yu Yifeng said emotionally. Next, he briefly talked about the food crisis facing the base, but mainly focused on the positive side. As long as people work hard, they can solve these problems.

Hearing this, Wang Zhiyuan couldn't help but shed tears. He murmured to himself, "I came to Earth for an annual salary of 300,000 US dollars, so that I could live a good life when I go back in the future... But now my parents, wife and daughter are gone, what's the point of me living?"

His vocal cords were burned by alcohol, and he hadn't spoken for so many days. When he said this, his voice was terribly hoarse.

Zhao Chao, who was sitting opposite, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one breath, coughing from the spiciness. He suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Old Wang, do people need any reason to live? I don't have a wife, and my parents have passed away a long time ago, but I will always remember my mother's last words."

"She said: Chao, you are not young anymore, hurry up and get married! This is what my mother is most worried about."

Speaking of this, Zhao Chao choked up, "I want to live, get a wife in the future, have a child, no, have two... I want to live up to my mother... I can't let her down!"

"I want to live, I don't have a girlfriend yet..." Zhao Chao couldn't continue talking.

After hearing this, Wang Zhiyuan lowered his head, not knowing whether he was crying or something, "You also want me to live well, right?"

"Come on, drink this cup, it's the last one!"
