Chapter 914: Diary
This notebook records their diary of every day since they entered the scientific research base.
Lu Chuan looked at the first date, and it was thirteen years ago.
In other words, they had been living on this research base for about four years before the end of the world.
At the beginning of the diary, it was one article a day, from writing about the excitement to some scientific research.
Over time, the diary began to cease to be one per day, but at intervals. It may be two or three days, or it may be a week.
"On August 11, 2007, today was another uneventful day, and the days here are like a cycle, from the time you open your eyes to the time you fall asleep, there is hardly much change. I woke up without brushing my teeth or washing my face, the water here is precious and needs to be spared. First, I took a look at the plants in the flower room, everything was normal, and then it was a day of routine inspection of the status of the scientific research base, and the rest was in a daze. ”
"On November 6, 2007, it was time to correspond with my family again, and I was very excited."
"On February 6, 2008, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but I can only watch the reunion of my family. It's the second year in the blink of an eye, and I still need to stay here for three years, which is really hard time. ”
Lu Chuan only read a few articles here, a few of which recorded scientific research results, and more of a narration.
Although there are seven people here, from this diary, it can be seen as one of the women's mood diary, all of which record her lonely heart.
Time keeps moving forward.
Lu Chuan flipped through it slowly, and soon found a diary with a record of the end times.
"On May 20, 2010, for some unknown reason, there was an anomaly in our communication with Earth. We tried to get in touch, but we were met with screams everywhere. We don't know what's going on because there is no one to answer us. ”
"On May 21, 2010, we tried to contact Earth's command center, but all failed because no one answered our communications. We tried a few more communication methods, and the results were all the same, which made us realize what should happen to the earth. ”
The diary is here, and it is recorded almost every day, all of which are the inner portrayal of the anxiety of the seven people in the scientific research base.
They are alone on the moon, too far away from the earth, and they need to rely on the earth for everything. If something happens to the earth, they are like duckweed without roots.
Lu Chuan watched them one by one, many of them were just a few words, but they were enough for Lu Chuan to know how desperate and helpless they were after losing contact with the earth.
"On October 28, 2010, it had been five months and more than 150 days since we lost contact with the Earth. We all despaired and realized that something must be wrong with the planet. Through our observations, there is no such thing as war and nuclear bombs, and the whole earth is still so blue, but if it is not a nuclear war, what is the reason for the loss of contact? ”
"We did a lot of analysis, but we didn't have a clue."
"This amount of time, if only other problems, is enough for the Earth to establish a communication connection with us. Or, enough for them to launch another moon spacecraft. But all of this, no, we seem to be completely abandoned. ”
This time, the diary was a bit long, and Lu Chuan only read part of it.
As Lu Chuan kept turning, these seven people went from initial despair to calmness. Life always needs to be passed, and it is impossible to pass it because of the loss of contact.
There are seven people in the scientific research base, they are not too lonely, and they are accompanied by someone who can still talk. As before, they forgot about not being able to contact the Earth, and devoted themselves to scientific research, constantly recording their discoveries and experimental data here.
But after a few years, they were once again in despair.
Electricity is not a problem at the research base, but food and water are a huge problem. There are also insufficient reserves of medicines, which need to be replenished by the earth.
Medicine is secondary, food and water are their necessities.
What is prepared in the scientific research base is a five-year reserve of seven people. They usually save money, but no matter how much they save, the reserves are here, and they will only consume, not increase.
And so, despair arose again.
This time, it was the real despair, which also made the temperament of the people here change greatly and become irritable.
It can be seen from this diary.
"On March 22, 2012, the New Year on Earth had just passed, but we were already feeling the breath of death, because we had only enough food left for a month. Everyone, very irritable, in this kind of restlessness, even appeared spiritual illusions. God knows how desperate and helpless we are, and our hearts have collapsed. ”
"On May 3, 2012, no matter how much we saved, we couldn't escape the dilemma of having food at the bottom. In this process, we did not contact the earth, and the earth did not send personnel to rescue us. We sent out a call for help, and as for countless days and nights before, no one responded to us, as if we had been completely forgotten. ”
"On May 7, 2012, Joe tried to kill Diana, he must have been crazy, but luckily, we stopped him. But...... I was really scared to look at an individual like a beast. I could see in their eyes that they were losing their minds. ”
"On May 10, 2012, the food was saved, but there was not much left. It's cruel, no one wants to die, but that's all there is to food, who eats it? In the face of hunger, which stirs up the bestiality of man, I know that this will be a harbinger of the beginning of the catastrophe, and there will always be people who want to live a little longer. ”
"On May 11, 2012, I knew that something had to be done, otherwise Diana and I would be the first to be killed, because we are women, we are vulnerable. There is a story of Yizi eating in Huaxia, but I know that if we don't make changes, Diana and I may be their food. ”
"On May 13, 2012, I had been hungry for three days, and the food was not going to be for Diana and me. Under the combination of hunger, people are weak. I could only grit my teeth and hold on, and I still had to stay awake. I knew I needed to talk to them. ”
"I don't have the strength to think about what day it is, I dragged my weak body and saw the strong Joe and them."
At this point in the diary, there is no more record, and Lu Chuan guesses that she should have talked to these people.
In fact, Lu Chuan knew that there was nothing to talk about, because there was no food, and everyone was just waiting for death. Their struggles are just to keep them at night.
When the end times come, it will be impossible for the earth to send supplies to them.
The survivors are still like rats crossing the street, too busy to take care of themselves, how could they know that there are still seven people on the moon waiting to be rescued?
Sure enough, the diary got here, and there were only a few left.
Lu Chuan flipped through and came to the next diary: "Finally, it was negotiated, but in fact, it was just a decent way to die." Death can't be changed, because we're isolated. As colleagues who have lived together for almost six years, they are still sensible, and they know that even if they lose their humanity and use us as food, they will not live long. Choosing a dignified way to die, so that everyone dies less miserably and painfully, is the result of the negotiation. Perhaps I never imagined that my final outcome would be suicide. ”
Perhaps the reason for the negotiation is that the master recorded all the cheerful content in the next day.
For example, thinking about your own parents......
Maybe it's because she knows the result, so she will record the best things.
"On May 20, 2012, everyone wore their best clothes...... I know that day has finally come. In fact, all of us haven't eaten anything in three days, including not a drop of water. This is also my last diary, and I don't know if it will be seen by future generations, but when it comes to death, it is actually more like a relief, because I have been trapped here for six years. This kind of loneliness outside of space is not something that anyone can imagine. ”
"The only regret, or curiosity, I just want to know, what the hell is going on on Earth and what happened?"
"Okay, I should go out and choose a decent death."
"If anyone could really see my notes, they would fulfill my wish before I died, and bring our bones back to Earth, because Earth is our home."
At the end of the diary, one name was left: Martha.
This is the last day, and the text recorded is somewhat choppy and many words are written out of order. It can be seen that this person named Martha, her heart is messy, and she has a sense of powerlessness under the torture of hunger.
No one is afraid of death, but sometimes, in this kind of predicament, being able to choose a decent way to die is the best outcome.
Just imagine, if she hadn't been able to convince the people here, the two women would naturally be the first to be eaten. Then there is a duel between men, and the dead side becomes food.
In the end, only one of the seven will be alive, and it will be scarred, and it won't live long.
Without the supply of the earth, even if they dare to eat people, it will not last long. It was precisely knowing this result that they finally used their reason to overcome their bestiality and choose this decent way. The first is that they still have a conscience in their hearts, and the second is that they have been together for six years after all, and they still have feelings.
Lu Chuan had to sigh that they finally defeated the demons with perseverance, so they ended all this in such unity and by committing suicide.
"It's a dead knot that can't be solved."
Lu Chuan shook his head, he had arrived, but the leap at this point in time was too big, and they couldn't have waited so long. It can be said that their fate is already predestined.
No matter how they tried to figure it out, it was impossible to wait for Lu Chuan's arrival for a few years without eating.
In his heart, Lu Chuan still admires them very much, regardless of national borders, simple admiration. I admire their courage and the sanity that can be maintained in the face of this despair.
"You didn't return to Earth during your lifetime, and I will fulfill this wish for you after you die." Lu Chuan muttered to himself.
has a spacesuit, which seems to be bulky, but under Lu Chuan's strength, he still moves freely.
Lu Chuan collected their corpses and bones, and then packed each of them separately and took them away from this scientific research base, and Lu Chuan wanted to send them home.
