141. After the speech
Sufat, a construction engineer from Mumbai, India, has just been offered a job in Dubai and is planning to move to Dubai with his wife, Yaya, and their two sons, Nedin and Harry.
When he heard from folk sources that all mankind would soon have to hide underground to avoid dying in the nuclear radiation caused by aliens, Sufat was very unimpressed. He arrogantly twisted his neck and shouted to his colleagues: "Listen, I don't care if this news is true or not, and no matter how much impact it can have on the world, in short, it is impossible to mix it with my own life!" I'm going to Dubai, taking my wife and sons with me, to have a night in the presidential suite at the Burj Al Arab, and then I'm going to start working hard in that country. I'm moving, but to heaven and not hell! If the aliens are coming, go there and kill me! That's it, I'll never talk to you about such boring topics again! Never! ”
After watching live TV tonight, Sufat's short and fat body was sunk in the sofa, not moving. The hustle and bustle of the street outside seemed to him from another world.
Jaya sat with tears in her eyes, not remembering to rush Nitin and Harry to bed, they would have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning to get ready for school.
The two boys, one six and the other nine, had never seen such a dreary atmosphere in the house, so they did not dare to be naughty, but only sat obediently, glaring at their parents with big beautiful eyes with a frightened face.
After thinking for a long time, Sufat suddenly slapped the coffee table, but shook a teacup, and the tea sprinkled on the carpet.
"Yaya, tomorrow at dawn, you will take the children to the police station to register, and see when our family can enter the bomb shelter at the earliest."
"What?" Yaya looked up in surprise, her eyes wet, "Sufat, didn't you keep saying that even if we were the only ones left on the earth, we would never go into the bomb shelter?" You said that our son is not a rat, and that he should not hide in the mud and bubble out like two vegetables, and you say......"
"Enough!" Sufat yelled, causing Jaya's retort to stop abruptly. The two sons had never seen their father so angry, and they also hid in the corner with their faces sad.
Frightened his family, Sufat knew that he was wrong, and lowered his voice in annoyance and said: "My dear, you saw everything that was broadcast on TV just now, in order to keep the people of the earth alive, how hard do those guys in the government work?" How can I sit idly by? We both gave life to the children, but we didn't have the right to arbitrarily take it away from them again. The two of them are also the hope of the earth, and belong to all mankind, don't they? ”
"But the chances in Dubai are so good...... Yaya still can't let go.
"Hey, go to his Dubai! By then, the waiters at the Burj Al Arab have also run out, are we having a fun stay? I don't want to have to bring a toilet brush and clean the toilet in the presidential suite when I travel! Besides, if humans were to build an underground world, my knowledge of architecture would come in handy, and it might be a much better opportunity than in Dubai! ”
Yaya was completely persuaded by her husband, and immediately burst into laughter, and the two sons ran over obediently when they saw this, and the family hugged each other happily.
......
In a small apartment building in Paris, France, 80-year-old Leon and his wife Hannah are watching a video with their son who is assigned to work in Malaysia after watching TV.
"Pierre, my child, go into the bomb shelter with confidence, and don't be disgusted by the harsh conditions there. You know, it's all about staying alive. I think that on the battlefield of Normandy, I braved the rain of bullets to save my life, and I knew that the Allies would win that war! You have to make it clear that the real victory belongs only to the living, and only by living can people contribute to the future of the planet! ”
Hannah had tears in the corners of her eyes, but her eyes were full of loving smiles as she looked at her son.
Pierre choked up and couldn't open his mouth, and after a long time he asked with difficulty: "Dad, since you know this truth, why do you have to stay on the ground with your mother?" ”
Leon shook his head and replied: "It is enough for a person to have experienced one war in his life, especially for the old man who is about to enter the earth, the temptation of the homeland is greater for us than life. There are two months left, which is long enough for us. You can rest assured that every day will continue to be as beautiful as before. But you're different, you can still create, you can give, and as long as there are people who need you, you have to live. ”
Far away, the couple could only symbolically kiss and say goodbye to their son.
When the video call was over, Leon said to Hannah, "Let's go to the rooftop and loosen the soil for those pots of vetiver irises." In many cases, plants are much more capable of surviving than people, so maybe they will be alive after the war and be with Pierre instead of us. ”
Hannah nodded in agreement, and the two old men changed into their overalls together, helped each other out of the house, and walked to the rooftop.
......
Since Sean stood on Ayers Rock to announce the launch of the Migratory Bird Project, there was only one global television program left - the newscast.
In addition to the staff responsible for helping people move, journalists have become the busiest people. They are like industrious bees shuttling around the world, and they do not let go of every news hotspot that occurs in the process of migration, and the life of human beings on earth has been completely changed since then.

Shen Yun was lying on the hospital bed watching the live broadcast.
This time, the hand-holding of government leaders from all over the world touched the people of the world, which she had never expected before she went to the United Nations, and even if she was weak, she still shed tears of relief.
Cao Fang never came to see her, and only had a holographic call with her. Because the Space Force's global joint military exercise is about to begin, he is so busy all day that he can't find time to run to the hospital.
After one night, Shen Yun changed her mind and decided to hide the reason why she fell into the fault and never reveal it to anyone.
The mysterious boy could not have been her fantasy, and his appearance, as a phenomenon that could not be explained by humans, must have a hidden meaning, and she had to deal with it carefully.
For Shen Yun's sudden headache, the doctors on the Continent of Light used the most advanced medical equipment to examine her, and they didn't find out the cause, so they had to attribute it to stress and prescribe a bottle of aspirin to her. So this small medicine bottle joined the ranks of her belongings.
As for the disc sent by Qu Zhaodi, it fell off the fault with her, and it was engulfed in darkness in the blink of an eye. She imagined the disc soaring endlessly in the direction of hell like a bird with wings, and when it met the liquid iron and nickel in the earth's core, which reached 6,000 degrees Celsius, it would turn into a puff of white smoke and dissipate forever like her soul.
