Chapter 223 Reunion

After some questioning, Rong Yuan learned from the cursing driver and his son who kept retorting that the reason why there are so many "strange people and strange things" is not because the world has changed too fast after four years, but mainly It was also because of the mecha battle that was broadcast live all over the world half a month ago.

Whether it is 2000 years ago or now, the story of Ye Gonghaolong is always repeated.Ever since people realized that the land they live on is just an ordinary planet in the universe, the search for extraterrestrial life has never stopped, and there are countless stories about imaginary aliens visiting the earth.However, what human beings look forward to and yearn for is the kind of elegant, intelligent, kind-hearted alien who will help mankind unconditionally in fantasy, or the stupid alien who wants to invade the earth cruelly, but will eventually be defeated by the heroes of the earth people.But when the imaginary creature actually appeared in front of him, fear and repulsion were the most overwhelming emotions that occupied the average human being on Earth.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the first remote meeting with an alien was not a friendly visit by sending greeting cards in advance and following the etiquette, but a tragic battle in which both sides almost died together.When human beings are unprepared, the first thing they see is the powerful combat power and fierceness of the "alien".In this way, rather than thinking about gaining some benefits from it, the first thing most people think about is whether they can survive such an attack.

--cannot.

Any reasonable person can come to this conclusion.

When the battle in the starry sky first happened, most people were still in doubt. They suspected that it was the promotion of a certain movie, that it was a signal error, that it was an abnormal electromagnetic wave phenomenon in the universe, and that they even suspected that they were dreaming.The leaders of various countries immediately realized that the most important thing to do after the incident was not to question the reality, but to try to put themselves on the starting line earlier, so the race for resources quickly started.But ordinary people are much slower to react. Some "analyst kings" even vowed to claim that this was just an attack by hackers, intending to fool people all over the world. Many people really believed it, even some portal sites and news channels. There are similar sayings.

However, the facts are the facts. In the face of real evidence, the "technical analysis" based on brain supplements will soon be slapped in the face.

The battle took place in the sky above the moon, not far from the earth, and even the astronomical telescopes of some civilian enthusiasts can roughly see something; and the rescue capsule crashed into city A under the eyes of everyone, and the witnesses were not just from the past. No matter how skilled one or two people in "Alien Sightings" were, they couldn't find traces of special effects synthesis and fakery in the video; the injuries on the astronauts who were rescued from the moon also fully proved what the truth was.

Later, perhaps due to the pressure of public opinion that the people are eager to know the truth, or perhaps to gain political status, several countries have successively disclosed the so-called "truth" - the mechs brought back from space and the aliens in the mechs. Human corpses, the wreckage of spaceships, the identification of astronauts' injuries, the prediction of the power of alien weapons, etc.Even though there are public opinion blockades in some countries, the people still "over the wall" to obtain the information they want to know.

For the people on the earth, the most frightening thing is that looking back at the photos sent back by the detection astronomical telescopes and detection satellites, people found that the time since the alien mechs and spaceships appeared on the outer planets of the sun and reached the vicinity of the moon only took In less than half an hour, at the same distance, how long does it take at least to launch a satellite from the earth?

Eight years!

Moreover, there were originally a few asteroids or satellites on the route of those monsters and mechas. Although their size and mass were not large, and their presence was not strong, they were always within the scope of human observation.However, these planets are all gone now.

The two sides in the battle are obviously in a pursuit battle, and it is impossible to stop and destroy a planet that stands in the way—what does this mean?Explain that destroying those planets is just "handy" for them. Compared with detours, this method saves effort.

The ease with which an asteroid can be destroyed in an instant can naturally destroy a slightly larger planet - such as the Earth - in the same way.

Or think about it from another angle—if the attacking monsters and mechs hadn't been stopped by the all-black spaceship, and they had hit the earth at that speed...humanity might have been wiped out unconsciously.

Imagine if you are going shopping, chatting, bragging and playing games at school, and suddenly realize that not long ago, you were standing on the edge of the gate of hell, hanging by a thread, almost dying without a whole body.Everything you love and hate - like homework, work, games that haven't reached full level, bald and mean boss, cute girlfriend who just got married, nagging parents, sweltering weather that makes you sweat, hugs A son who gnaws on his feet...all will disappear-what kind of feeling is this?

Some people suddenly resign or get divorced, and decide to enjoy life from today, and take a walk-and-go trip; some people frantically snapped up a lot of food and water, and tried to spend money to build a solid underground castle; People smashed and robbed, and did all the things they once wanted to do but didn't dare to do; The palace of marriage; some people live every day as if they are the last, and cherish all the beauty and happiness in life; some people can't bear such a blow, so weak that they even end their lives; Karma accumulates virtue and does good deeds, and some people throw away the shackles of morality and commit crimes.

In this apocalyptic "carnival feast", religion comes into play.In addition to the well-known religions that people usually know, there are also many unheard-of sects popping up from the cracks of the stones, such as the "Three Yuan Nine Heavens Sect" and "Supreme Universe Sect" that are full of Internet atmosphere. "Great Universe Sect", "Yillion Star Sect", and "Red Hat Sect", "Gamma Y07 Sect" and so on.What's even more incredible is that no matter how weird the sect is, it can actually find (or deceive) its followers, including professors and students from well-known universities, making people wonder if their knowledge and brains are being fed to dogs .

In fact, when the situation was the most chaotic, Rong Yuan did not see him on the deserted island.What he sees now is a relatively clean and orderly scene after the country has been vigorously rectified. Now, only a few sects that have been officially registered and recognized by the government can still be active on the street, and other miscellaneous wild religions Once the activities are discovered, no matter what the reason is, they will be arrested and sent to the detention center for a period of education.

After a period of confusion and crazy venting, the irrational people gradually returned to reality, and found that the alien invasion of the earth did not know when it would happen, but their lives would continue.

As a result, those who sold all their property and wanted to build a defensive castle regretted it, those who scolded their boss and then resigned were on the way to find a job, and those who got married or divorced impulsively had to quarrel and worry about trivial matters. , fun-crazed students find out...they have exams orz.

Except for a few people like the taxi driver's son who are still immersed in the dream of "everyone is drunk but I am alone" and do not want to wake up, most people's lives are slowly returning to the right track.The impact of the chaos of the previous period is slowly unfolding, some people inevitably paid a heavy price, and some smart people took the opportunity to grab a lot of benefits from it.Some people build tall buildings, some people collapse the buildings, but the movement of the world will not stop because of this.

……

The meeting ended, and the participants came out in a file. Jin Yang, who was left at the end, rubbed the center of his brows, his eyes were slightly blue, and his face showed a little tiredness.

In the past few years, Yuanyang Company has developed vigorously. It has rapidly expanded from a small company founded by three people with only a dozen employees to a large group company. It is inevitable that some branches of the huge structure will start to get out of control.Even with Noah's assistance, it's not easy for Jin Yang to deal with it. What's more, Noah is not like his secretary who can help him all the time. That guy is more like playing a fun game. When he is interested in games, he will help him out, and when he is not interested, he will hide aside and gloat at his headache.

So after graduating from university, Jin Yang did not choose to continue his studies or travel as he had imagined, but formally participated in the management of the company.Zhou Yuan is currently in her final year of internship at university, and she spends two-thirds of her time in the company every day.The two were so busy all day that they didn't even have time to meet.However, unlike Jin Yang's tiredness, Zhou Yuan has the air of a strong woman. Although she is also very tired, she really enjoys it.

In recent days, because of various horror legends about aliens, the sales of cotton candy, the main product of Yuanyang Company, have once again appeared the grand occasion when it was launched. Working at full capacity, the production speed can't keep up.They just had a meeting on this issue, and it didn't seem like they talked for long, but it was already dark when the meeting ended.

In turn, I politely but firmly rejected all kinds of invitations from the beautiful female subordinates in the company (and even a few male subordinates) to bring a cup of coffee/watch a movie/go to sing together/ask work questions, and so on. Just arrived at the underground parking lot.During this time, almost all colleagues in the company took the initiative to choose to work overtime. The parking lot was empty. Jin Yang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, pulled two ties, took out his keys and walked quickly to his parking place, thinking about what to do. Bring a dessert for Emerida who lives at home.

Suddenly stopped.

In the distance, he saw a person leaning against his car, the light was a little dim, and his appearance was not clear, but the figure was inexplicably familiar, and the frequency of his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

It stands to reason that if you suddenly see a stranger in a dimly lit parking lot, you should immediately turn around and call security.But Jin Yang's feet seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't move for a long time.He was stunned for a long time, then suddenly walked over in big strides, walking faster and faster, came to the front and stretched out his arms, hugging the comer tightly.

"Xiaoyuan..." There was a bit of choking in the excited and suppressed voice.

Rong Yuan blinked, and hesitantly hugged back.

"... Jin Yang."

He suddenly found that, unlike what he had expected, he could no longer call out the name "Yangyang" naturally when facing this familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of him.
