Chapter 27 The Child Who Chases the Stars

He had planted the magic seed, and if it bloomed, he took care of it, fertilized it regularly, and pruned its leaves.If it rots, he works hard to remove it, never letting it pollute the otherwise clean soil.

Three days later, the conscientious Victor has sent all the magic books to the right people. It will take a long time for the matter to ferment, so Le Jing plans to continue his adventure in other planes.After asking Le Ling to make a small program to upload "Revolutionary Road" regularly, just in case, he also asked Victor to keep a black cat clone to monitor the development of the incident and avoid getting out of control.

Under the warning eyes of Le Jing and Cairns, Victor raised his paw obediently, honestly assuring that he would maintain social order fairly and justly.Le Jing cautiously had reservations about Victor's guarantee.



The next second after arriving at C52, Le Ling issued an alarm: [Alarm, alarm!It has been tested that the air on the C52 plane has a lot of dust, volcanic ash and poisonous gas, there is no sunlight, and the oxygen content is extremely low, which is not suitable for human survival! 】

No matter how calm Le Jing was, he was stunned by this huge amount of information for a moment, and four big words popped out of his mind almost immediately: the end of the world.

After a brief exchange with Le Ling, Le Jing fell silent.

The technological level of this plane is similar to that of the earth, so after Le Ling arrived at this plane and noticed the network signal, he immediately connected to the Internet to collect information, and Le Jing also had a clearer understanding of this plane.

The development history of this plane has been similar to that of the earth for thousands of years so far, and then just 20 years ago, the history of the C52 plane showed deviations, thus walking on a completely different path from the earth.

April 1999, 4, was an ordinary Thursday.Husbands pick up their briefcases and get ready to go to work, housewives are struggling to calculate the bills, children are playing on the street with their schoolbags on their backs, and the streets are bustling with people coming and going. Ordinary photos of earthly fireworks.

Then, at noon that day, an asteroid with a diameter of 10km passed through the earth's atmosphere and fell into the Atlantic Ocean. Natural disasters have taken a devastating toll on Earth's creatures.And this is not over, the dust and volcanic ash produced by the impact of the meteorite gathered in the atmosphere, covering the sunlight and moonlight, and the whole world fell into a long darkness.90% of the species on the earth became extinct, and the surviving humans and animals hid underground, lingering in the dark underground.All of this sounds absurd like an April Fool's Day joke, but it has become the "daily life" of every living creature on this planet.

6500 million years ago, the same asteroid with a diameter of 10km hit the earth, which eventually led to the extinction of the earth's overlord dinosaurs.And now, 6500 million years ago, humans, as the new overlord of the earth, are helpless against asteroids of the same size.So history repeated itself.

Lejing is now located in a huge and vast underground cave. This is a small human gathering area, where people from various countries are mixed.

Looking out of the dark window, he felt a great sense of desolation.The history of human beings is, to a large extent, the history of the conquest, transformation and even domestication of nature.Humans have conquered the land, ocean and sky, reclaimed wasteland to improve crops, and tamed animals... For nearly ten thousand years, humans have trampled on nature and transformed it beyond recognition.

However, it took only a few minutes for the civilization built by human beings for nearly ten thousand years to be destroyed by nature.In the end, humans still did not conquer nature, it was nature that destroyed humans.Under the mighty power of nature, even if you are a prince or a nobleman or a great man, you are nothing more than some insignificant parasites.In the end, the only thing that survives, and even lives forever, is nature itself.

"It's really a scene like hell." After listening to Le Jing's explanation, Victor made such a comment.

"Then shall we leave here?" Cairns looked at Le Jing blankly, "This place probably doesn't meet your fun standards, right?"

"No, you are wrong. Although this world is dark, I firmly believe that there must still be glimmers of light. Because human beings can be destroyed, but the human spirit will never perish." Le Jing looked out the window full of expectation, "After all , human beings are such weak yet powerful creatures.”

Only such human beings can climb to the top of the food chain in just a few thousand years and develop an exceptionally dazzling civilization.



Ji Xing walked through the winding cave with ease.Years of underground life have given her excellent night vision, and she can identify directions even in the dark without lights.

She is going to collect a kind of moss that grows deep in the cave. In the current era when most plants are extinct, this kind of moss is one of the few underground residents that can supplement vitamins.

She bypassed a huge stalactite and turned into a fork on the left. She only needs to turn a few more turns to reach her destination. She has walked this road many times, so the road map has already been clearly engraved on it. in her head.However, when she turned into a fork again, what caught her eyes was bright and soft lights.

She squinted her eyes, which were uncomfortable due to the light, feeling a little angry inside.How tense is the energy right now!It's still lit at night!It's a crime!

Then she realized that the electricity was cut off at [-] o'clock in the evening. How could there be lights here?

She suspiciously approached the direction of the light, the blurry outline became more and more clear in her vision under the light of the light, a wooden door appeared on the rock wall, and noisy human voices could be faintly heard from inside.

Ji Xing has come and gone here countless times, never knowing that there are still houses here!

She knocked on the door curiously, and a clear male voice came from inside the door: "Please come in, the door is unlocked."

Ji Xing pushed open the door, poked his head out cautiously, and a handsome elder brother was looking at her with a smile.

She whispered, "Hello."

"Hello, Miss." The young man's eyes were bent into beautiful crescents, and he greeted him kindly: "It's cold outside, come in and warm up."

Ji Xing didn't feel the cold. She was born underground and has already gotten used to the temperature here. According to her father, the ground is now frozen, and it's even snowing in some places. That's cold!

She had never seen snow, and her father said it was white and looked a bit like cotton.But why is cotton cold?She felt that Dad was lying to her, as Dad always did.But she is already 8 years old, not a child anymore.

But the room was really warm, and Ji Xing broke out in sweat not long after he came in.It was still a little hot when she took off the outer jacket.She secretly whispered that this big brother has a lot of books here, she has never seen so many books!She guessed he must be a great big shot.

Le Jing looked at the little girl's flushed face, and quickly turned down the heating temperature.Le Ling has modified all the electrical appliances in the store, and uniformly uses that kind of red stone as the energy supply, so that he can enjoy the convenience of modern technology in this doomsday of energy shortage.

Ji Xing really felt better.But then she looked at the remote control in Le Jing's hand curiously: "What is this?"

"It's the remote control for the heater."

The little girl blinked her big eyes and asked blankly, "What is heating?"

"It's a heating device that can increase the temperature." Le Jing explained.

Ji Xing immediately grasped the point: "That must be a lot of energy, right?"

"……perhaps?"

"Turn it off!" Ji Xing immediately stood up and looked at Le Jing ferociously, "Every energy is precious, and it should be used where it is most needed! You are wasting energy for personal enjoyment like this... ..." The little girl got stuck, and soon remembered her father's original words, "It is irresponsible to all human beings, and it is a great crime!"

"Sorry, I didn't know before." Le Jing looked at her apologetically, and immediately turned off the heater, "Thank you for your correction."

Being treated so solemnly, Ji Xing felt a little embarrassed, and she blushed coyly: "It's okay, if you know your mistakes and correct them, you are a good boy."

Le Jing smiled and asked, "My name is Le Jing, what's your name?"

The little girl replied crisply, "My name is Ji Xing."

Le Jing asked, "Is it the star of the star?"

"Father said yes." Ji Xing lowered his head in frustration, and slid his toes on the ground, "But I haven't seen the stars. Not only me, but other children have never seen the stars either. The adults say that the stars are The hood covers it, so no one can see it."

Le Jing was stunned, and finally at this moment, he had the sense of reality that this world is in the end of the world.

Kant once said: "There are only two things in the world that I am in awe of. One is the brilliant starry sky above my head, and the other is the eternal moral law in my heart."

But the children of this world have never seen the starry sky.

They live in the dark and cold underground, just like seeds, waiting for a future where they don't know if there is a chance to break the ground, germinate and bloom.

Le Jing stayed in his father's hometown for a while when he was a child.It was a closed and backward small mountain village, and it still followed the simple routine of sunrise and sunset.

Whenever the sun sets, the entire mountain village is plunged into long darkness.Occasionally, sporadic lights are lit up, and they are also faint like candles in the night wind.

But in such a backward, boring, and closed village, he saw the most beautiful starry sky in his life.

The gorgeous and bright Milky Way hangs on the sky, and the bright stars are like flowers competing for beauty, and each one is beautiful like a passionate life.Beautiful as a dream.

Le Jing knew that the stars in the sky were far away from him, and there were countless light-years between them.Those lonely and huge planets are silently shining in the corners where there is no one. The light may have to travel tens of thousands of light years in the universe to reach the earth.In other words, the starlight Le Jing saw was probably the moment when those planets exploded.

This magnificent starry sky is a grand cemetery.

As long as he thought of this, he felt that this great starry sky also had a more tragic color.

As for himself and others, he felt that the child who had never seen the stars was so pitiful.

So he rubbed the little girl's yellow and soft hair, "Want to see it?"

Ji Xing raised his head blankly: "What?"

Le Jing blinked at her mysteriously: "Want to see the starry sky?"

Ji Xing's eyes lit up at first, and then quickly dimmed. She shook her head sensiblely and said, "No, the outside world is too dangerous. There is poisonous gas everywhere. We will die if we go out. And the sky is covered by a hood." Lah, I can’t see the starry sky.”

"No need to go out." Le Jing showed a childish smile, "We can watch here."

Ji Xing was even more confused when she heard the words, and then she saw Le Jing pull out a book from the bookcase.She understood a little bit, and then her face turned red almost immediately, and she whispered: "I, I don't know much about words." She said embarrassedly: "After the death of Teacher Li in the school, it was my father who taught me. I can read and write. But my father is too busy, so..."

Le Jing smiled at him reassuringly, "You don't need to know how to read. Just reading is enough."

He spread Ma Xingyuan's "Beautiful Starry Sky: Stargazing Handbook for the Public" on the table, and beckoned to Ji Xing: "Come here!"

So a girl named Xing Xing saw the star in her name for the first time at the age of eight, on a book illustration.

For children living in the dark underground, the sun is too hot, the moon is too lonely and cold, only the stars, all over the entire sky, the entire universe, seemingly inconspicuous in the dark, but gathered together is as beautiful as a dream The stars are their eternal longing.

They are children who have never seen the stars.

They are also stars.
