Chapter 60

"Dad, what spacecraft do you say?" asked his father with a mask on his face.

"It's not that aliens are going to call in, so an airline on the Internet has built a spaceship that can escape. It's a billion dollars... It's a little expensive, but it's worth it as long as you can survive! I ordered one for our family and it will be built in three months!"

Zhang Dian helplessly rolled his eyes: "can that work? What do you want to eat?"

Dad touched his daughter's head with fatherly love: "silly girl, the website said that the people above are refrigerated and hibernating. As long as they fly out of the earth, they can drift down in space. When they meet a planet suitable for survival and come back to life, they don't need to eat in this process!"

"I don't want it! The space is so big that I can't meet a habitable planet after flying for tens of thousands of years?" Zhang Dian shouted with exaggeration.

Dad paused for a moment. It seemed that he had not considered the problem, and then slowly said: "this is also a helpless way. The website advertised that if you want to live, this is the last chance. Moreover, not everyone can have it. Those poor people can only stay on the earth and wait for death..."

Wait to die

Zhang Dian blinked his big eyes. He didn't know what to say.

Hao Zhi returned to his residence dejected. Facing the empty walls and deserted house, the empty beer cans a few days ago were still thrown on the ground. A thin layer of dust fell on the table. There was a sour and musty smell in the house.

Others have family members worried that he is an orphan. He doesn't even have a person who cares about himself. He wants to be a little lost. He sadly climbs to the bed, closes the quilt into a drum bag, and lies on it in a daze.

When I was just walking on the road, I found that the world was very different. Classes were closed in schools, and no one went to work in most units. The whole society was paralyzed. The only thing that was still hot was banks and supermarkets. Everyone scrambled to take out their savings, and then crowded into a group to buy food and drink, Reserve food for future crises.

The order has not been disordered. The police and troops, combat vehicles and tanks all over the street roared past, driving machine guns, and drove past in everyone's frightened eyes.

On TV, images of civil unrest broke out all over the world, looting and war everywhere, sadness everywhere, and rubble in the city.

Everyone had a sad cry on his face. His face was heavy, holding the money in his hand and resisting the rice noodles on his shoulder. Someone jumped in the queue and quarreled, and then fought. The onlookers looked indifferent and numbly watching the fists of both sides gesturing in the air.

Finally, an old man stood out from the team and shouted at the top of his voice: "we're dying. Can't you keep the last bit of dignity? We... We..."

With that, the old man held his thin fist and stood there crying loudly. A little girl in a red skirt came to him in horror and took grandpa's hand.

The government's motorcade patrolled the road, and the tweeter repeated the same line: "please maintain confidence in the country. We have confidence and enough ability to win the Earth Defense War!

Human science and technology have been very developed and have the ability to deal with any force threat and provocation. Please don't worry. Please go back to your work and life. Don't panic. Panic doesn't work! "

Countless police and troops are struggling to maintain order everywhere. Anyone who dares to spread doomsday remarks on the streets will immediately get in the car and take him to an unknown place!

Most of the channels on TV have no signals and can only receive some turbid pictures. The interview program keeps broadcasting the analysis of various experts on the future situation 24 hours a day. Most of the contents are lies such as human science and technology are developed, occupy the home advantage, and win a war if there is no war.

Hao Zhi smiled bitterly: "if it is so easy to win a war, those national leaders will not die in vain..."

There is a strange smell in the air. People seem to be trying to pretend that nothing has happened. However, in the dark, many things have changed.

Everyone is privately asking when the spaceships that can escape the earth will be built. A single ticket price has been fried to 10 million. Countless people refresh on the Internet day and night to buy a ticket. More people who don't have the money maliciously curse these unscrupulous rich people.

Hao Zhi sighed, "Alas, they are crazy!"

It was getting late at night. Lele's father cleaned up the fruit stand from outside. Lele and his mother had been sitting at the dinner table waiting for him. The two sisters wisely moved stools and dishes and chopsticks for his father.

Everyone ate in silence for a while. Dad suddenly said, "I heard Lao Zhang say that he can get a ticket..."

Lele's mother's surprised expression flashed for only a moment, and then sighed: "what's the use? We can't afford half of our money!"

Dad looked at her, and then looked at three girls who sucked noodles and stared at themselves: "eat!"

Before going to bed, Lele went to the toilet and passed by his parents' door. He heard his father's cough inside and was probably smoking again: "Lao Zhang said that his son is an engineer building a spaceship. He has an internal price, as long as 50 tickets!"

"Ah? So expensive..." mother's worried voice came out through the crack of the door, "where do we have so much money?"

"I'll sum up the dowry money we saved for the three girls and sell the land in our hometown... It's almost enough!" my father calculated with infinite sadness.

Her mother's voice was more sad and helpless: "it's all bone and eye. Who still buys land? Who sells it to?"

Dad was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "I thought of it. I heard that selling kidneys is OK. Many people collect organs during this period. They said that it's useless to die anyway... We don't go. I'll take mine first... That's enough!"

"Woo..." my mother's voice sobbed, sobbing and complaining about her husband, "what can I do alone if you're gone? What about the three daughters? Which one are you going to send away?"

"Yes!" my father stopped answering, smoked a dull cigarette for a while, and there was a heavy sigh, "if you can't, just be happy. After all, it's a pity to be so big..."

My mother couldn't help crying.

Upstairs, song Xiaojia's family didn't sleep, but they didn't want to buy any tickets. The three of them got together, sat cross legged on the bed and fought against the landlord.

"Three with two!" Jiajia's father threw out a card and asked his wife like nothing happened, "have you bought everything you should buy?"

Jiajia's mother nodded, and the note on her face shook: "I robbed your nephew, nephew and my mother's relatives for an afternoon and bought 10000 kilograms of rice! How many bags of instant noodles are there, as well as vegetables and grain seeds in the agricultural machinery station. I bought 30000 yuan and loaded them on the truck."

Song Xiaojia counted his cards carefully, as if inadvertently asked, "Why buy so much food? Ready to open a shop? Play cards, mom!"

"Oh, bomb... We're going to run away, silly girl!" my mother touched her head. "Although we're not poor, we can't afford spaceship tickets. We have to run to the deep mountains! Those alien monsters are coming. What can we do if we don't run?"

Dad tilted his mouth and took a cigarette: "those rich fools still buy spaceship tickets? Want to run? Where can they run in the sky?

If we can find someone whose environment is better than the earth, how can aliens fight us? Why are they more stupid than us?

My grandfather was like this at that time. When the devils came, they ran to the mountains. The government would always find a way. When they ran away, they would come back. Our family is still our family, and life is the same! "

"Where are the mountains now? They have become scenic spots. Do you want to go? It will be more crowded than the capital!" Song Xiaojia said.

Dad laughed: "so I sent your uncle to Sichuan early in the morning. It's said that I found a very remote cave. Let's start tomorrow. At that time, we'll hoard food and plant more wasteland by ourselves. Why isn't it a way to live?"

Jiajia's mother went up and kissed her father, and said sincerely, "thanks to you, Niu's father, great idea! Great idea!!!"

Song Xiaojia stared at his cards and said slowly, "I know there is a place that is much more reliable than your cave!"

Parents were stunned at the same time, looking at their daughter as if they didn't know her

In the distant Bohai Sea, Lin Tao was leaning against the railing to smoke. His scientists came and reported the progress of the experimental data. In a little time, they could finish it.

He nodded with satisfaction. The scientist suddenly asked, "you heard that the tickets of the spacecraft are being robbed everywhere. After all, this battle is not sure. Don't you plan to take a step for yourself?"

"Ha ha..." Lin Tao took the cigarette down from his mouth and laughed, "Why are you so naive?"

"Oh?" the scientist pushed the glasses on his face and looked at Lin Tao puzzled.

The State forbids anyone to spread doomsday remarks, but no matter the civil aviation enterprises open windows on the website to sell these "tickets", why... Have you ever thought about it?

"You mean... For money?"

"Yes! War is money. This is the fastest way to concentrate the funds of the private rich into the hands of the state.

Will you believe the lie of building a spaceship that can travel in space in three months?

At that time, there was a real fight. Those spaceships fell down when they couldn't even reach the escape speed. They didn't even leave a person suing him

In ancient times, when there was a war, he found an excuse to copy the minister's home. In World War II, Hitler killed so many Jews and embezzled their property. It's the same reason, but with the progress of the times, this method is much better than in the past... "
