Five hundred years later.
New calendar year 10590.
This blue planet turned into a scorched black.
Ten years ago, a world war began that lasted for ten years.
From the interstellar world, he returned to his home star.
A war that lasted for ten years, in which all countries participated.
There are no aliens, just humans and ourselves.
In ten years, the world's economy has collectively regressed by five hundred years.
Eventually, all human beings who colonized alien planets were exterminated.
On the mother planet, there is a piece of debris and scorched earth. Through those ruins, you can vaguely see a corner of the once prosperous age.
The sea, no water.
The earth is flat and yellow sand, and the stones that have experienced instantaneous high temperatures and instantaneous cooling have turned into glass-like crystals.
The whole world is filled with the smell of chemical elements, and black and gray dust are constantly scattered in the sky. The ground has already accumulated a thick layer. That's not snow, that's falling explosives. It also contains volcanic ash.
The whole world was dead silent, without any sound, and silence was the scariest thing. Not even any birds or beasts.
The once prosperous Mount Laoshan has become a vast desert.
A dozen humans wearing gas masks and radiation-proof suits, with severely mutilated bodies and mutated limbs after being exposed to radiation, walked on this scorched earth.
"This should be Mount Laoshan. Water, I want to find water that is not polluted. Let's search separately. There must be water in Mount Laoshan."
A girl with extensive burns on her face and blisters all over her body cried: "Mom, why are we fighting? Oh, oh, oh, why are we fighting?"
"To defend our nation."
"Why is there a war? I remember that when I was a child, this place was prosperous. It's gone. It's all gone now. In the entire East Continent, there are only more than a hundred of us hiding in nuclear defense fortifications. Why..."
"Don't be too emotional. Let's look for water first. If we can't find water today, thirty people in the fortifications may die tonight. No more people can die. We are the last hope of mankind. I We don’t know if there are survivors elsewhere in the world, so we can’t take risks. From now on, we don’t live for ourselves, but for all mankind.”
“…”
Two years later, the new calendar year ended in 10592. Humanity becomes extinct.
The world is full of desolation.
Ten thousand years later.
The earth is renewed and natural purification begins.
All the ruins left by humans in the past have turned into dust and disappeared forever in the long river of history.
The earth is just fulfilling its mission and constantly renewing itself.
Once upon a time, they always thought that they could leave eternity on this planet. But the fact is that there can never be eternity, there is no eternity in the world.
It had only been ten years since humankind had been extinct, and all the buildings had begun to weather. Within a hundred years, it was all covered with growing plants. After a thousand years, it will be erased.
Ten thousand years later, there will only be fossils and no buildings left.
This world has reincarnated and entered a new opportunity.
The water in the sea became pure again, and the rivers and lakes were crystal clear again.
On the mainland, lush green vegetation appeared.
This is the world of plankton. This world is reincarnated and entering a period of biological explosion.
How long will it take for the world to smooth away the traces of humanity? The answer surprised everyone - just ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years of vicissitudes of life.
It is unknown what species will appear next time.
The era of the new calendar will completely disappear from this moment.
——-
Ten thousand years ago.
AD 1995.
Among the municipal hospitals in Hangzhou, among the obstetrics and gynecology wards. Two pregnant women give birth at the same time.
'Wow wow wow'
As the sound of life sounded, two little lives came into this world.
A pregnant woman couldn't help but said excitedly: "Haha, I gave birth to a daughter!"
Another pregnant woman next to her couldn't help but get excited: "I gave birth to a boy, and I like boys."
"We are so destined."
"Yes. Hey, why is there a birthmark on my child's chest near the heart? What a special birthmark, red, like a tear."
"Ah! Why does my child also have a birthmark on his chest? It's also red, like a tear."
“…”
"Husband, give our son a name."
"Well... let's call him Li Zhen."
"Why is it called this name?"
"I don't know, I suddenly blurted out, it seems that he should be called Li Zhen."
"Okay, let's take Li Zhen."
“…”
"Let's call our daughter Zhang Zhi."
"Why?"
"I don't know, I think her name should be Zhang Zhi."
“…”
Twenty-three years later.
West Lake, Su Causeway, light rain.
The fair-faced young man was holding a laptop and sitting in the pavilion next to the stone monument of the West Lake, listening to the sound of rain, looking at Leifeng Pagoda in the distance, and typing on the keyboard.
His name is Li Zhen and he is a novelist.
Recently, I suddenly started to fantasize about what will happen to mankind after experiencing the end of the world? The extension of thinking resulted in the novel "Ten Thousand Years of Rise".
"Ten thousand years is not revival, and ten thousand years is not destruction. Ten thousand years is a cycle of reincarnation on this earth."
"Ten thousand years is the rise, and ten thousand years is the beginning from the beginning. From the beginning of civilization, ten thousand years have become the shackles of mankind that can never be broken. Whose fate is this?"
"This is actually the reincarnation of human nature..."
After writing some, he submitted the manuscript to the editor of the publishing house. Not long after, I got a reply:
"The content is illegal and has no new ideas. If the plot of the encounter in a dream is replaced by the male protagonist traveling through time with knowledge, the audience should be wider. It is not recommended to publish it for the time being."
Li Zhen shrugged, closed the chat software interface, didn't pay much attention to this tenth rejection, and continued writing...
'tick tock'
On the eaves tiles, water drops fell.
A woman holding a floral umbrella walked past here on the stone path, with a SLR hanging around her neck and black-rimmed glasses on her face.
Standing next to the stone monument in the West Lake, looking out at the Leifeng Pagoda from among the bushes is actually another special beauty.
'Kacha'
A beautiful view of the West Lake after the rain was recorded.
Looking back, he also took a photo of the man in the pavilion. She found it poetic. It's just a slight regret, if he had another cup of tea on hand...
The sound of a camera caught his attention.
Come back.
Eyes facing each other.
In this moment, time stood still.
Spanning ten thousand years of time and space, their eyes finally came together at this moment.
Countless fragmentary pictures flashed through his mind, and countless emotions emerged from deep within.
At that moment, the whole world was ignored.
'Bang, bang, bang'
The heart beats vigorously.
At this moment, Li Zhen suddenly realized that there was a trace of a tear on his chest. Is it...tears of the earth
Is it disappointment
Is it despair
Still a pity...
Countless thoughts were interrupted by a burst of cell phone ringing.
The man woke up and smiled sheepishly at her: "Sorry."
Then he picked up the phone and turned around to leave.
'Tick tock, tick tock'
The rain fell on the ground and on the floral umbrella. The woman shed tears, and countless emotions emerged in her heart. God knows where she got such courage at this moment, and shouted to the strange man:
"Hello!"
Li Zhen turned around and looked at her with the phone under his arm, with a hint of expectation and a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Looking at each other again...
Silence again.
Silence for 10 seconds, 30 seconds... one minute.
Li Zhen took a deep breath and said with a trembling tone: "I feel like we have met before."
woman:"… "
Silence, continue silence.
Two lines of clear tears streaked from the corners of his eyes.
She sobbed and asked, "Where?"
"In a strange dream that keeps coming back."
'Boom card;'
Thunder flashed and rain poured down in an instant.
She threw away her umbrella and ran towards him.
He put down the phone and ran towards her inexplicably.
The tears of both of them could no longer stop at this moment, and fell down with the rain flowing down their faces.
"Me too!"
PS: After ten thousand years of rise, I say goodbye to everyone here.
Readers who have chased us here, can we meet again
I hope you can support my new book "The King of Hate"
I won’t post the introduction as I don’t want to take up too much space. We are destined to meet again - Yours sincerely, Bao Ju
