"It's... no, that's... that's... a monster! A living, moving whole, or some alien creation in disguise."

A comet monster that wanders periodically in the Milky Way.

People's backs were dripping with cold sweat.

They couldn't see anything at all until UME054 raided the comet monster, and they realized that the comet wasn't a comet at all.

After the comet 2047H1 was raided by UME054, after absorbing a large piece of UME054 individuals that looked like fish swimming in meat balls, it turned its head and turned its orbit, and moved away from Uranus at [-]% of the speed of light.

At the same time, human detectors have shown that the comet monster has not left the solar system, but is still wandering around the outer reaches of the solar system.

As for those fish swimming in the air, it seems that they also got some results. They ate up the wounded individuals of their companions who were not absorbed, and returned to the satellites of Uranus to inhabit.

"Everything in this flash happened within a few days. An interstellar encounter happened and ended...but we didn't understand it at the beginning, and only at the end did we know that the comet is not a comet."

Ju Jianhui wrote such a sentence in the email to Lizi.

The new emergency notification was sent to all divisions and departments at the same time.

This kind of news is generally concealed but cannot be concealed, and it will only leave excuses in vain. TPC's control over the interior is far worse than in peacetime, and the constant changes in the outer world are destined to cast a shadow of anxiety on the New Year of mankind.

"Don't think too much... things are alright! Let's play a round of rampant 7, shall we?"

Lizi, who was wearing pajamas, looked at the worried people, took out the handle hidden somewhere from the drawer, and turned on the big TV.

"it is good."

Akane and Mengmei responded together.

The next day, Liuhua's parents also arrived.Naturally, they couldn't recognize Zion either.Lizi invited them because Akane brought Liuhua with her, and Liuhua's parents came together along the way.

Their son died during the exploration mission of the Himalayan Great Rift, and most of the relatives who were a little closer were separated, went their separate ways, and lived with the three of Liuhua.

Liuhua's father was courageous. He did not choose TPC's relatives policy, but chose to go wherever he was needed, so he kept running around.

No one knows whether Liuhua and Liuhua's mother complained.

Zion only saw the two of them embracing Liuhua for a long time, and there were tears in their eyes, but they didn't fall.

They wiped each other's faces and laughed again, like three big fools.

When Qian saw the scene, she was happy at first, but when she thought of her parents, she felt sad again.She turned her head away, and suddenly didn't want to look at it, and found that Zion's clean eyeballs had emotions similar to hers.

She tilted her head in confusion, thinking she had discovered the secret.

One day later, it will be the last day of [-].

It was not yet night, and the sound of various firecrackers that Zion often mentioned in his childhood was already ringing outside.

And just after nightfall, hundreds of fireworks were launched from the ground into the sky, and then turned into a sky full of stars, which is the constant bouquet that people dedicated to this terrifying starry sky.

Chapter 35 Bright as a silver man, night as day

Speaking of which, people on the battlefield also celebrated the Spring Festival.

Hezhong once invaded a peninsula in East Asia. At that time, the aid troops had a small singing team organized by a dozen men and women to sing military songs and folk music. It is said that there were also activities where shell shells were used as rolling pins to make dumplings.

A few decades earlier, it was the time of the anti-aggression war. If the situation was not tense, several commanders would often show their faces, borrow things, and prepare food and drinks.

Everyone sings together and eats a better meal than usual. This is the first and last festival of this bitter year.

"Is it just to have fun while suffering? We always have a little more room than before!"

Lizi smiled and said.

"No matter how hard the living standard is, it is better than before. It is much better than those ancestors who lived and died around the bonfire in the cave! At that time... a plague would wipe out an entire tribe, and no one escaped. The plague just ended... and a flood, maybe a village in the mountains has never heard from it... That's more than a single monster can kill! Isn't it?"

Lizi is also a person who can enjoy herself while suffering.

"It's just, I think, for you, the sudden decline from what you thought was a prosperous world is also an unbearable pain."

Zion said.

He heard a few young people downstairs say that yesterday—the place of work is a point.A place to sleep is a point.Connect the two points and draw a circle, which is my whole world.

Today he saw those young people running out to have fun.

Lizi said that TPC also prepared some cultural performances on TV, as well as several large party activities.It's just that not many people like to watch it now.As a result, most people have come out, so as to be freed from the two-point and one-line life.

So in this starry sky, countless colors are people releasing their souls.

The fireworks were set off one after another, as if they were shouting, waking up the city.When the fireworks are all extinguished, the city at night suddenly comes alive.

Zion looked out from under the streetlight, and he could see that the drones on the outer edge became more dense.

It's not that there are monsters coming... TPC just has to be on guard all the time.

No matter when, there will always be a group of people who will stick to their posts.

I don't know if they are singing to each other to themselves or their colleagues now.

thought Zion.

In the cold night, he wore the scarf Aya gave him and winter clothes.Walk alone in a bright light.

There was a lot of voices, and the colorful lights were like flowers.

It may be because the industrial production lines were conscripted to the Blue Book Project. Zion took a look and found that most of them were handmade gadgets, crude and ordinary, but profound in meaning.

No one decides, just free time.

The few people were not far apart, and they were all within sight of each other.

Lizi and Aya had a lot to say while glancing here, and Chun Li often complained about them.

Gao Songxiang was caught up in the internal tasks of TPC, and wanted to get out, but couldn't.Lizi also said that she also tried to invite Ju Jianhui and the victory team. She and Ju Jianhui are good friends, and she also knows that Zion's perception of the victory team is not bad.But based on business reasons, it couldn't be done after all.

"Didn't the captain of the winning team have an only son?"

Chunli asked Lizi.

Lizi said:

"He is being fostered in a centralized school in TPC. Children are not allowed to go to space, and space is not good for the development of bones and muscles."

"He is very poor."

Chunli sighed when she thought that although she was not an orphan, she was better than an orphan.

Lizi paused, hugged her notebook tightly, and said with a smile:

"We're all poor."

The cultural components of the Central Asian TPC branch are very mixed.In the distance, someone was setting off firecrackers of a type they didn't know. As long as the crackling sound continued, these women remained silent for a long time.

Lizi closed her eyes, pretending she didn't want to hear it, and when the ringing ended, she looked around at the people around her and said:

"But pity is a poor thing, and happiness is a happy thing. At least today, I am very happy. Thank you for coming as promised."

"You speak so well! It's as if we are not friends."

Rikka's mother teased Lizi.

They are also in frequent contact.

"I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Lizi said.

I don't know when, the moon has already set on the willow branches, but the lights of the flower market are still as bright as day.

People came and went, but it was a different scene from what Zion had glimpsed in the South Thousand Islands or in the underground city.

"The anger is back, and it seems that there is hope again."

Realizing this, he found a bench on the side of the street and sat down. He saw a few children led by their parents quietly by a river, and they were folding with other similar people. Strange lights to be thrown into the sky or put into the water.

I also saw a few long-lost friends flying from all over the world drinking wine at the open-air table on the left.

One man caught cold and sneezed on the back of another man, staining his clothes.

"Haha."

Originally, the two laughed it off, took a drink each, and then began to sing songs from their childhood, which were probably popular in the late 30s, mixed with other voices vigorously.Then Zion heard them talk about their personal experiences.The man whose clothes were stained was very proud. He said that he had seized the opportunity of the monster era, soared into the sky, and became the deputy chief of a certain department in a nearby branch.

So the few people who originally recognized each other as friends gave a meal, first congratulated, and then became more respectful, and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.But the sneezing person became restless, he began to apologize again and again, and kept drinking as punishment, almost self-servingly performing for the mistake he had laughed off earlier.

Zion was fascinated for a moment, and suddenly a small hand patted his right shoulder.

Zion turned his head and saw the face of a girl smiling happily. The girl's hands had been retracted into her clothes, and only two fingertips were exposed, opening and closing like crab claws.

"Hello, little brother!"

It turned out to be the little girl named Akane Shinjo who Lizi took care of on her behalf.

She turned her face away and blinked.

Zion looked over Akane Shinjo, and saw behind her, Liuhua was with her parents, walked to the river, and started to put paper lanterns together with others.

She probably ran over when the three of them formed a group and felt alone.

Zion didn't speak, she just sat beside Zion, and the eyes of the two of them fell on the river not far away, swimming with the lights on the river.

"Why are you here alone? I think that sister seemed to want to call you, but she didn't. It's strange."

Sitting on a chair, she swayed her legs and asked puzzledly.

Aya did not reveal her full name, only a common female name.This way, the TPC will not track either.

"Didn't you also come here alone?"

Zion rubbed Qian's hair.

Qian is not as tall as Lizi now, only about 1.5 meters.Of course she couldn't resist, and immediately became angry and didn't want to talk.

Almost at the same time, she remembered holding Lizi and Zion's hand that night again.

At that time, she was thinking that it would be nice if the two of them were her parents.A few days ago, she handed it over in a dream in a daze. After thinking about it for a while, she blushed for some reason and didn't want to talk!

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Lizi is not much older than her. She is just a junior in the workplace who has been taken care of by her parents. Zion is probably not much older, so the more she thinks about it, the more embarrassing she becomes.

But at this time, you can't back down, you must speak harshly.

"Don't touch it! Don't touch it! I'm going to complain to Sister Lizi!"
