Holding together in the face of disaster is a human instinct that has existed since primitive society. x
Invincible beasts, savage and bloodthirsty cannibal tribes, even flash floods, earthquakes, plague locusts... No matter what kind of disaster, as long as there is still a pulse of civilization, the surviving people will definitely be able to dig out that grain from the past failures. Remaining fire.
Just as Kerwin thought.
The video in front of Tiangong City Station was released. That figure, who was not burly but taller than anyone else, naturally became the god of the new century and was worshiped by "believers from different countries around the world and speaking different languages." "Worship.
His language is remembered.
His thoughts were codified.
His glorious deeds were written into textbooks.
His portrait became a flag, standing directly above the conference hall of the Earth Defense Alliance headquarters.
In the not-too-distant future, every major decision of Earth's civilization will start here. And the man who once saved this planet will continue to fulfill his glorious mission and guard this place with his gaze. Every member who takes office will stand here and swear an oath of loyalty to the Alliance and civilization...
Of course, these are all things that will happen in the future or will happen soon.
About a few years ago, he said he wanted to form an Earth Federation, but a group of "traitors" who fled with their backs to the blue planet rejected him.
So now, the Earth Federation is established...
…
Coro City, on the lawn in front of the Presidential Palace.
Kerwin stood in front of the podium, raised his head, squinted at the warm sunlight in the sky, and opened the speech.
"A painful victory."
"This is how I evaluate this hard-earned Monday."
"Our civilization was supposed to end last Thursday, and I had already taken care of my affairs even a week before, just to make time on the last day."
"That day, I came to my work place as usual. You should know that the name there is the Space Command Center. It is the heart of the Star Ring Trade and Space Department and the eyes of the Earth Fleet."
"Surprisingly, many people also chose to sit here at this last moment and wait for the ending to come. I made a cup of coffee for the assistant who has been assisting me in my work, and then I sat in my seat and waited. The coming barbarity will burn our civilization to the ground."
"But just then, a light lit up in the distance."
"Of course, that light is invisible to the naked eye, but our space telescope recorded that moment."
"When disaster strikes, some people choose to leave, some choose to stay, some choose to give up, and some choose to fulfill their mission until the last moment."
"Their sacrifice is great and noble. Our civilization has therefore turned a new page, rather than ending here. Here, I would like to dedicate the highest respect to those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the great cause. them."
The audience burst into applause.
People's expressions were solemn and excited.
The honor guard played military music, and the soldiers on both sides of the neatly lined up fired three shots into the air. As the white smoke dissipated, each sandalwood coffin was covered with a blue Confederate flag. Under the escort of the honor guard, We walked across the road in front of the Presidential Palace and were buried in the newly built Mars Colony Cemetery.
Of course, what is lying here cannot be the remains of the heroes. The entire Mars has been blown into a vast asteroid belt. Lying in the wooden coffins under the Alliance flag, there are photos, clothes, or medals, which are just relics of the heroes during their lifetimes.
The family members of the hero were allowed to come forward and say their final goodbyes to their departed relatives.
Some people bowed their heads in silence, some burst into tears, and some even fainted from grief because they could not bear the pain of the death of their loved ones. Some people knelt down and kissed the wooden coffin gently, while others stood at attention from a distance and presented them with the military salute of the Defense Alliance...
Sadness is in the air.
But the buds emerging from the soil are filled with hope of life.
A woman wearing a long black dress and a veil stood in the crowd, looking at the buried sandalwood coffin from a distance, biting her lips, her red eyes seeming to be restraining the sadness that was about to overflow.
"You came?"
A familiar voice came from behind. The woman turned around. When she saw the familiar face, she looked away hastily. Her lips that had been bitten white slightly opened and closed, and her voice sounded a bit sad.
"I just came to see him for the last time, and I will leave here tomorrow."
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else." Xia Shiyu sighed softly and put on a gentle tone, "It's just a little unexpected."
The face under the black veil was slightly stunned.
"Accident?"
"Well, I didn't expect that guy to be so popular."
When she said this, Xia Shiyu's tone was as helpless as if she had lost a bet.
Just when Liu Yao was confused about what she wanted to do, Xia Shiyu turned around.
"Come with me, no matter what your plans are for the last few meetings with him, he shouldn't be here after all."
After saying this, she walked towards the Rulka car on the side of the highway.
On the other side of the cemetery, there is also the edge of the crowd.
A pretty figure looked at the cemetery with the same complicated expression.
"I won't forgive you."
"never."
"You devil..."
But for some reason, tears fell down as he spoke.
Her shoulders shook and she sobbed softly. Perhaps because she felt that the look of her tears was too ugly, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears fiercely, and added stubbornly in a voice that was hoarse and out of shape due to choking.
"I, I didn't cry..."
Under a big tree not far away, a man whose entire face was blocked by the shadow of a hood stood together with a woman in a lavender dress. From the beginning of the funeral to now, they have not said a word, they just stood there and watched quietly.
Finally, the woman took the lead to break the silence.
“Is it fun to attend your own funeral?”
The man smiled and spoke.
"It's interesting. How many people in this world have the opportunity to attend their own funeral?"
"Someone is crying for you."
The man fell silent.
After a long time, he sighed softly.
"What do you think I should do?"
"Did I hear wrongly? You blew up a planet without saying a word? Such a decisive man actually asked this little girl for her opinion, whether the sun will rise from the west tomorrow." The woman winked playfully. Blink.
"I'm not kidding."
Jiang Chen looked in a certain direction at the funeral site with a complicated expression.
"...Well, although I don't know how to help you, but..." Xiaorou pointed her index finger at her lower lip. After thinking seriously for a moment, Xiaorou suddenly smiled, "But I feel that tears at funerals will not help you." It’s a lie.”r
