Xiang Weiguo put on his coat, picked up his backpack, and walked out slowly.

Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu were speechless. After a long time, Luo Xingyu finally said, "What are your plans now?"

Gao Yuan shook his head and whispered: "I still have no plans, what about you?"

Luo Xingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have any plans."

"I know you want to go to a large shelter because you still want to find your dad. If I were you, I would definitely think the same way."

Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan sincerely and whispered: "But I won't go alone. I don't know where to find my dad, not to mention I don't know if he is still alive, but why don't you want to go?

What about the large shelter? There is military protection there, there should be enough food, and there are many people, but why don’t you want to go?”

Gao Yuan smiled helplessly and said: "Let me ask you, which one is better than the current shelter or the previous city?"

"City, of course."

"So will the military be stronger now than it was before the aliens came?"

The simple truth is that the aliens who were unable to fight against before the disaster are even more difficult to fight against now.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Xingyu, who had a pale face, shook his head.

Gao Yuan sighed: "I don't like crowded places not because I am lonely, but under the current conditions, I think places with more people are more dangerous. The reason is very simple. Why do aliens put viruses?"

Luo Xingyu whispered: "Because I want to exterminate mankind..."

"Yes, aliens want to exterminate us, so will it end after the aliens release the virus? It has been two months now, and the aliens have made no further moves. They seem to be very calm, but this calmness

How long can it last?”

The reason is very simple, but it's so cruel that people don't want to face it.

Luo Xingyu, who understood this truth, was speechless.

Gao Yuan continued with a look of helplessness: "If aliens attack again, will they choose large shelters with many people, or scattered individuals like us hiding in the mountains?"

Luo Xingyu sighed heavily, and then she couldn't help coughing.

Gao Yuan didn't want to hit Luo Xingyu, but there were some very simple truths that he had to remind Luo Xingyu cruelly.

"There are many animals that are extinct or on the verge of extinction because of humans, such as passenger pigeons, dugongs, tortoises, and bison. Why are these species extinct by humans who are at the top of the food chain? Because these animals are large enough and have delicious meat. When humans have nothing to do with it,

When these animals are hunted sparingly, they can easily be exterminated, but what are the animals that humans want to exterminate but cannot?"

Luo Xingyu thought for a moment and said, "Rat, mosquito, and cockroach."

Gao Yuan whispered: "Yes, why can't rats be exterminated? Because rats are small in size, reproduce quickly, and are scattered in every corner of Blue Star. If humans want to exterminate rats, it is not really impossible, but it requires

It costs a lot, both in money and manpower, and compared with the harm caused by rats, the cost of eradicating rats is not proportional to the benefits, so humans have not exterminated rats."

Luo Xingyu, who drew inferences from one example, said: "Do you mean we can only be rats in the sewer?"

"Pretty much, that's what it means. I don't know how long humans can exist as a species, but I know one thing, that is, if there are too many rats in a certain place, they will cause a disaster and cause harm to humans.

, then humans will definitely exterminate rats in this place on a large scale.”

Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "So if it's not necessary, I don't want to go to any place where humans are concentrated, such as a large shelter."

"Is there no hope?"

Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan blankly. Gao Yuan did not dare to look directly into Luo Xingyu's eyes. He turned his head and whispered: "Aliens have crossed the galaxy and come to the earth. What hope is there..."

"But, but... do you just surrender and admit defeat? Do you just wait to die?"

Gao Yuan shook his head and whispered: "I am a pessimist, but I am not a capitulationist. I said I am not afraid of death. I just want to die worthwhile, but I can't see hope."

"hope……

Gao Yuan clenched his fists and said with a deep expression: "I want to kill aliens. I dream about it every day. When I'm free, I think about how to kill those aliens. But after all, I can't kill them with stones."

alien."

Such a desperate and helpless reality.

Luo Xingyu grabbed Gao Yuan's shoulders from behind. When Gao Yuan turned around, he saw Luo Xingyu's face was filled with tears.

Luo Xingyu moved forward, and then she hugged Gao Yuan.

The two hugged each other tightly, neither of them spoke, but burst into tears.

As a species, when faced with the fate of imminent extinction, all we can do is shed tears.

After a long time, Luo Xingyu whispered: "I don't want to die. I don't want to die silently in this small mountain village. If possible, I will resist. I hope this is a war and not the end of the world."

Gao Yuan whispered: "This is war, but this sentence is just a slogan. What is truth? What is reality? The reality is that this is a massacre, a precise massacre of a species. Do you know what I am worried about?"

What I'm worried about is aliens upgrading the virus. We now have antibodies, but what if a new virus appears?"

"The alien virus is very powerful. It killed most of the humans on Blue Star in just a few days. The zombies are considered dead. Moreover, derivatives of the virus like zombies are used to kill humans with antibodies. Once

A virus has two effects, and the effect is so good. Is it necessary for aliens to use new viruses?"

Luo Xingyu was confused and uneasy, but Gao Yuan was really a pessimist, so he continued cruelly: "It's necessary, if you find that one pesticide doesn't work, wouldn't you try to change it?

"

The truth is still so simple and cruel.

Luo Xingyu sighed softly and said: "I have always been an optimistic person, so I think there may be hope. If I really do, what will you do?"

"Fight to the death."

Gao Yuan didn't hesitate at all.

Luo Xingyu breathed out and said, "I'm with you."

Hugging and being silent again.

After a long time, Luo Xingyu let go of Gao Yuan and whispered: "Uncle Xiang is a good man, and he is really powerful. Do you think you should ask Uncle Xiang for his opinion?"

Luo Xingyu refused to leave Gao Yuan, because from a practical point of view, Gao Yuan was her life-saving straw, and from an emotional point of view, Gao Yuan was her spiritual support, but she still harbored unrealistic ideas after all.

Gao Yuan couldn't bear to hit Luo Xingyu, but he also didn't want to give Luo Xingyu false hope.

"Uncle Xiang also gave up. As a scout and a special forces instructor, he understands what I just said, so he did not go to a large shelter but returned here because he knew that as an individual he could not survive this disaster.

It has no effect, but if this is a war, even if there is no hope of victory, he will step onto the battlefield without hesitation. But now, all he can do is to be buried in his ancestral grave after his death.

Because now this is not a war at all, just a slogan on the radio, nothing more."

Despair, this is complete despair.

Luo Xingyu covered his head with a sleeping bag and remained motionless for a long time.

Gao Yuan regretted it again. He didn't want Luo Xingyu to have unrealistic hopes again, but he regretted it when he saw Luo Xingyu was beaten to the point of being lifeless.

Gao Yuan is just a pessimist. He likes to think about the worst in everything, but this does not mean that he does not have the ability to think about the good. Therefore, a pessimist wants to comfort others and give others hope. This is actually not good for him.

Disaster.

It just depends on Gao Yuan's choice whether to make Luo Xingyu completely despair or let her continue to have hope.

"Are you desperate? In fact, there is still a little hope, although it is negligible."

Luo Xingyu immediately pulled open his sleeping bag and said, "You tell me!"

"I suspect that the country has long known that aliens are going to invade Blue Star. Certain preventive measures have been taken around the world. The simplest and most direct evidence is that although the vaccines we have received are not effective on everyone,

, but after all, it is still effective for a large number of people.”

Luo Xingyu was stunned for a moment, then she nodded vigorously and said, "Yes!"

"And there are those shelters. It's only been two months. Those shelters didn't pop up out of thin air, right? According to Uncle Xiang, the shelters have strong walls and occupy a large area. This shows that

The construction of the shelters started a long time ago, and it could not have been built after the aliens arrived. Since there was no reason for a world war on Blue Star before, these shelters can be considered to be in response to the invasion of aliens.

"

Luo Xingyu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's it."

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Since we have been prepared for alien invasions for a long time, maybe our country already has ways to deal with aliens. However, this is just a guess. There is too little information to make a more accurate judgment.

Why do I say there is little hope? Because humans can only reach the moon at the farthest point and cannot even get out of the solar system. And aliens can come here. This is an absolute technological gap. Even if we take precautions, what's the use?"

Luo Xingyu said with an unconvinced look: "You are right, but since bad aliens can invade Blue Star, then maybe there will be good aliens to help us."

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I haven't thought about this possibility. What you said is not wrong, but..."

"Just tell me if this is possible!"

"Theoretically, it is indeed possible, but the possibility is too small."

"Maybe there is hope!"

Looking at the stubborn Luo Xingyu, Gao Yuan laughed, and then he said in a deep voice: "Yes, there is hope if there is this possibility. Although this possibility is so small that it can be ignored, it is indeed possible.
