Raindrops fell on the window eaves. The coconut trees outside the window were blown aside by the roaring typhoon, and the sound of wind and thunder in the air was loud. Looking from a distance, on the rough sea, a fishing boat was bobbing among the waves.
Surprisingly.
Until now, there are still people who don't know what is going on outside and are still living their lives step by step.
Koluo City is already in chaos, and Penglai City...
Not only Xinguo, but all cities from New York to Beijing have sunk into this pre-apocalyptic dusk.
Most people have given up.
In any case, it was impossible to get on the ship without a ticket, so apart from offering blessings or curses to those who were already on the ship, there was very little that could be done.
Pious people choose to spend their last moments with their gods to tide over difficulties. Some people choose to sit with their families and enjoy the last supper at the last moment. People who give up on themselves exchange the remaining money for wine, or those who themselves Something I never dared to try...
At this moment, it seems that there is nothing worth awe.
The future of this planet is like the heavy rain outside the window. Looking at it, it is a haze, so dull that it makes people breathless.
Standing in front of the window, looking at the storm outside, Sun Jiao sighed softly and moved her index finger away from the cold glass window.
The happy time is so short.
Unexpectedly, I had just come into contact with this brave new world and had to say goodbye to it.
how to say
These four years have been like a dream.
Walking behind Sun Jiao, Xia Shiyu glanced at her back with some worry and asked softly.
"Are you worried about him?"
Contrary to Xia Shiyu's expectation, Sun Jiao smiled slightly and shook her head gently.
Reading the unexpected expression on Xia Shiyu's face, she explained softly.
"I believe he feels the same way I do."
"You mean the same?"
"Of course I want to see him." She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly with her right hand. Sun Jiao lowered her eyes, looked at the little life that was being gestated, and said with a smile, "He will definitely come back." Come to me, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
"This... is really enviable."
A defeated expression appeared on her face, and Xia Shiyu sighed softly.
When it comes to the question of whether to be jealous or not, the jealousy that should be felt was exhausted as early as four years ago.
She didn't mean any jealousy, she just envied the happy smile on Sun Jiao's face. If the person who is pregnant with the little life is him, then this expression that makes people happy just by looking at it will definitely appear on his face.
"Have you seen whether it's a boy or a girl?" Xia Shiyu changed the topic.
Sun Jiao shook her head.
"Why don't you take a look? You can do it if you ask Lin Ling."
"because… "
Lowering her eyes slightly, Sun Jiao's lips gently evoked a touch of tenderness that she had never seen on her face before, "I want to share the joy of that moment with him."
Xia Shiyu wanted to say something else, but at this time, the sound of helicopter propellers roared outside the house.
Jumping off the helicopter, Ayesha quickly walked into the house, threw her raincoat on the clothes hook at the door, and wiped the rain off her face. Seeing Ayesha walk into the room, Xia Shiyu immediately greeted her and asked with concern.
"Have things been arranged?"
"The Origin has set off, targeting the Alpha Centauri system. It will enter radio silence after leaving the Earth-Moon system. Our people are already on board and will contact us after ending their hibernation... if it is still necessary by then."
"Yeah?"
Xia Shiyu looked at the sky outside the window. Behind the heavy dark clouds was the last hope of human civilization.
Fortunately, they do not need to shoulder this heavy mission.
Sighing slightly, she spoke.
"It's time for us to set off."
No matter how it ends, he will be waiting for them there.
…
On board the Origin.
The man with a resolute face stood in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, staring in the direction of the land of China. At this time, an old man who was over seventy years old walked behind him with a cane. The vicissitudes of time were written in his sparse white hair.
Liu Xiangguo, the famous head of the Liu family in the capital, is no longer young compared to more than ten years ago.
Not only the Liu family, but also the Wang family, who had offended Jiang Chen, were also placed on the list. No matter how fierce the internal fighting is, at least in the eyes of outsiders, they are united. Of course, it is irrelevant to discuss these issues now.
No matter what their identities were, from the moment they boarded the Origin, it had nothing to do with them.
"Look twice, you won't be able to see it anymore."
"… We will be back."
"Come back again? Haha, at that time, I'm afraid Liu Zhai will not be Liu Zhai."
The old man smiled and shook his head, a trace of reluctance flashed in his cloudy pupils.
But in the end, he shook his head, said nothing, and walked toward the dormitory room with his frail old body in his arms.
…
In Los Angeles, in a marble villa by the sea, a drunk man was kicked under the window by a long wheat-colored leg.
"It hurts, it hurts... hiss... Jennifer? What are you doing? A new way of saying hello?"
"Damn, we missed the flight! You liar, didn't you say you had a ticket?! You also said that a space plane would come to pick you up?" Jennifer, with messy hair, jumped out of the bed and threw a He grabbed Roberts by the collar, his red eyes filled with ferocious bloodshot eyes.
"I'm not lying to you, is it the boat ticket... I'll look for that thing, and a copy was indeed sent to me."
"You liar, you don't know Jiang Chen at all. The chairman of Star Ring Trading once bought arms from you? And he went to cross the Iraqi desert with you? Oh... God, I should have believed those rumors, Roberts said You can't believe a word of the nonsense in it, it's full of lies."
"Hiccup—I found it." He took out a crystal card from under the pillow. Roberts rubbed his messy hair and muttered, "I actually threw it under the pillow. I have said before that I never lie to women. .”
Jennifer swooped forward and snatched the crystal card away from Roberts' hand.
"Don't be like this, my dear, it's just a ticket stub, and I have sold the identification chip inside... I asked that generous guy to let me keep this thing as a souvenir. I want to give it as a family heirloom. To my daughter...or son."
What Roberts wants to say more is that even if you take this thing to Halo City, the Origin will have flown away long ago.
"Sold?" Jennifer was stunned.
"That's right." Roberts nodded seriously, with a smile on his face that he thought was quite charming, "I sold it for a good price, and a generous rich man was willing to buy it from me for 50 billion yuan. It. I have contacted Forbes and they will consider me for the next edition of the Rich List and dedicate a full page to me as the newly promoted billionaire.”
"Next issue? Are you an idiot? Will there be a next issue?" Jennifer said desperately, avoiding Roberts' hug, hitting and scratching his chest, "You stupid guy, you said You loved me, but you..."
One ferry ticket can carry one adult and two minor dependents.
To be honest, Jennifer didn't love Roberts at all. The reason why she agreed to his pursuit was just to catch the last train on the Origin. However, now, Roberts told her that he had sold the ticket, just to exchange for a pile of waste paper that might be invalid tomorrow...
It's crazy!
"It will happen, believe me." Putting his hand on Jennifer's shoulder, Roberts said with a smile, "Because I am the boss of Forbes now, and I bought them."
It's not just banknotes that are losing value.
What depreciates faster than banknotes are the stocks of those companies...
"You madman! It's simply unreasonable!"
Cursing and putting the clothes on her body, Jennifer slammed the door angrily and walked away, even forgetting to put on her underwear...
In fact, it doesn’t matter.
The world is coming to an end, do you still care about that stuff
"Hey! Don't be like this, I'm not kidding... Shet, you will definitely regret it! I swear!"
Looking at the supercar driving away outside the window, Roberts shouted to persuade him to stay.
Seeing that the car did not turn around after all, he shook his head helplessly.
"Fake... my new car."
