Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1626: Short film
Is this a trap? Or is it her sincerity?
The other party is an imperialist after all. Being arrested as an unsafe person and being arrested as an evolutionist face completely different fates... I should escape before Dong Luorong comes out of the bedroom, right?
The idea was very clear, but Xie Feng still sat on the sofa without moving. On the one hand, she was curious, but on the other hand, she really couldn't muster the energy - her day had been too long.
"Hey, I didn't run away."
When Dong Luorong walked out of the room with a bunch of things in his arms, he seemed a little surprised to see that she was still there.
Xie Fengman smiled awkwardly.
"You should change your clothes first," she threw a set of pajamas to Xie Feng and said, "Isn't it uncomfortable wearing those semi-dry clothes? Take a shower by the way."
It's really hard.
"Since we're going to watch a movie, it's better to get comfortable."
What movie are you watching? Didn’t you just talk about investing in Evolutionaries? Xie Feng muttered as he went into the bathroom to wash himself off and put on his pajamas. Perhaps because this was a hotel and not someone's home, she didn't feel like she was invading someone else's territory; the sleeves of her trousers were a little longer, and they were silky and cold on her body, making her sneeze.
It's so cold - Dong Luorong seems to like to keep the room at a temperature that is difficult for humans to find comfortable.
She trembled and entered the living room. The heavy rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window seemed like a huge curtain, covering the entire city. In the rustling background sound, it seemed that she and Dong were the only ones left in the world. Luo Rong is alone.
It was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and everything was as dim as a dream while half asleep. Dong Luorong is sitting on the sofa. The dull skylight sinks into the details of her face and the undulations of her bones. A little gypsum white floats up, like a cemetery where the skylight is about to disappear.
It’s hard to imagine that she and the fat man on the train are both human beings.
In front of Dong Luorong was an open computer. She seemed to rarely use the computer. The interactive interface was clean and still retained the welcome message from the time of release. Other than that, there was nothing else. Xie Feng sat down next to her without knowing why, and sat in the group of people. It seems that there is a special smell when it is about to ferment into wine - it is like Dongluo Rongzhen is a strong flower that is about to bloom, and it needs to be frozen in the cold temperature to delay her time in the world.
"What are we looking for?" Xie Feng couldn't help but ask, "I don't understand what you just said about investing in evolvers..."
Dong Luorong did not answer. The short film she clicked on turned out to be an image that Xie Feng was extremely familiar with - everyone in the world probably knew its content very well.
The short warning video sent from the neighboring star was less than ten minutes in length. As a message transmitted by the stars, it was already quite long.
"The eight minutes and forty seconds of the film, and the first six minutes and fifteen seconds, are all about introducing the situation and emphasizing authenticity." Dong Luorong said as he pressed play.
When Xie Feng hugged the pillow and leaned over to look at the screen, he was still a little confused. What was going on now? A few hours ago, wasn't she still looking for the smuggler and preparing to cross the border illegally? Things are really unpredictable.
"...I am Lan Lingte, the person in charge of external affairs liaison," said a middle-aged woman who was obviously dressed in Neighbor-style clothes. She still managed to remain calm in her panic and spoke hurriedly in another language to the camera. He said, "It is now the 3rd day of the Fire Period of the Morning Star Calendar 3723... Five periods ago, our planet encountered the end of the world. This is a warning message! Listen to me, this is not a joke, this is a real warning and help!"
Xie Feng almost doesn’t need to read the subtitles now to know what she is talking about - this warning video has been shown too many times on TV and online. But Dong Luorong still stared at the screen, unblinking, as if it was her first time seeing this video.
"Among the population of our planet, a large number of people with special abilities have emerged, that is, 'evolvers'. Their abilities are destructive and strange, and are difficult to explain scientifically, such as——"
Lan Lingte grabbed a newspaper from outside the camera, raised it high towards the camera, and a voice came from behind the newspaper, "Did you see it? On the 49th of the Oxygen Period, the star who was holding a meeting The government hall was broken into by one person - yes, there was only one person, and he passed through the layers of defense and security - a man who looked ordinary, where he walked... where he walked... ”
When she said this, her voice was trembling, and she clenched her fingers so tightly that the newspaper was torn out of wrinkles, but she could still make people see the large picture on the newspaper clearly - a man half bent over , with his hands raised in mid-air, unable to see what he was doing; the two pillars not far away looked like pictures that had been modified by a computer, bending far away from the center, as if they were a malicious joke.
On the video screen, there are a few lines of news headlines and translations to the general effect: "Reporters risked their lives to take pictures of a man who can change the shape of objects from a distance. The right wing of the Star Hall has collapsed, and the number of casualties is unknown!"
The exclamation point at the end is shocking.
"Now I can't count how many facilities and departments have been damaged," Lan Lingte choked up before saying the word "destroyed". "This world is undoubtedly dying, and the main culprit..."
She buried her face in her hands. After a few seconds, she finally regained her composure. When she spoke again, she still couldn't help but resented, "Those evolved people have no pity or respect for our homeland and are desperately trying to plunder all kinds of things." Resources are being used recklessly everywhere. Our planet's various resource inventories and medical supplies have been looted!
"The number of casualties has been impossible to count since two periods ago, and the statistics department has never reported it again. I'm afraid even the statistics department is gone... I don't know, everything is in chaos now, and the news can't be spread. Go out, but rumors are everywhere. No one knows what news is true and what news is false." Lan Lingte smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Many facilities that can transmit interstellar messages have been destroyed. In the end, it is up to me. It’s so ironic to send you this message to Noon Star.”
Dong Luorong suddenly pressed pause, and the video froze on Lan Lingte's wry smile.
"What's wrong?" Xie Feng glanced at her.
"Do you want money?" Dong Luorong asked expressionlessly.
She is really thinking too fast!
Xie Feng was caught off guard by the question and stuttered, "Huh? Didn't I say, I don't want your money, I can do odd jobs..."
"No, I'm not asking you if you want my money." Dong Luorong interrupted her and said, "I mean, generally speaking, do you want money?"
"Then...it must be necessary."
"Okay, let's continue," Dong Luorong didn't give Xie Feng a chance to ask questions, and continued playing with a bang.
Does it have anything to do with whether she spends money or not, and the doomsday warning video? Xie Feng was full of doubts and glanced at Dong Luorong quietly before returning his eyes to the screen.
Next, Lan Lingte talked for a few more minutes about the tragic and chaotic situation of their planet, and the order was only barely clear.
"... Next, I will tell you all the information I know about the evolvers. First of all, the abilities of each evolver are different. In the newly evolved local population, we found that they develop The abilities developed come in stages. Although the effects are miraculous, generally speaking, the closer we are to the early stages of evolution, the weaker our abilities and physical strength. We can still suppress them with our military force, but they are incomparable with later ones. Later ones There will also be some strange items on the evolved person..."
Dong Luorong and Xie Feng listened quietly for a while - Lan Lingte then gave a few examples to explain the damage caused by the evolvers. After listening to Xie Feng countless times, he felt that they were even more unrealistic.
In the last two minutes near the end of the film, Lan Lingte begged and said, "It will take at least half a year for the news to reach you. Even if you come immediately as soon as you receive the news, when you arrive on our planet, you will not be able to reach our planet." It will be two years from today, and we won’t know if we will still be there by then... But I beg you, please send a ship, even if the possibility of our survival is slim, even if you find out after coming We perished long ago, and we must come."
She wiped her eyes and said, "It is impossible for all of the 870 million people in the world to die. Even if there are still a few survivors, please save them and take them away. After all, I also have I have a family and a daughter. If my child can survive until that day, even if I am gone, I still hope that she can be saved... I think everyone shares this sentiment."
Dong Luorong pressed pause again. This time she didn't speak. She looked at the face on the screen that was drained of color by anxiety, worry and fear. After a while, she continued to play the last bit.
"If we have no survivors, you can also take a look at the situation on our planet with your own eyes as a lesson for the future." Lan Lingte shook his head ~IndoMTL.com~ and smiled bitterly again, "Me neither I know what the situation is like on your planet now. Considering that the processes of our two planets have always been very similar, maybe you will also usher in the end."
"After recording this video and sending it out, I'm leaving here." She finally sighed and murmured, "...I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to know. Goodbye, I'm going home. ”
The video ends here.
Like every time he saw it, Xie Feng was silent for a while. Sometimes, she really doesn’t know what she is struggling with. If her planet is going to have the same ending in the end, will the City of Tears return to the Siping Empire? What plans does the Siping Empire have for them next? Will she sneak to other countries? , what does it matter?
"I've finished watching it," Dong Luorong said as if announcing, "What are your thoughts on this film?"
Xie Feng came back to his senses, not knowing what opinion she wanted him to express. Is life impermanent?
"I have an idea that I usually don't dare to say out loud," Dong Luorong leaned on the armrest of the sofa, as if he had no bones, raised one foot, closed the computer, and placed it on the coffee table. "I don't think this video is real."
