Chapter 15

It is bustling, and they hope to taste Italian cuisine, especially near the Town Hall Square, where there are extremely delicious seafood noodle restaurants for diners from all over the world to feast on.

In the evening, when the sun was westward, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the sea, swirling dark clouds and running quickly, and a drenching rain fell over the city hall. Almost all the people ran to the eaves of the surrounding shops to hide from the rain.After about two, three, and 10 minutes, the rain stopped, and a muffled air rose from the ground.People looked at the sky wonderingly, not knowing where this stuffy feeling came from.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and the earth trembled.

Someone shouted, "Earthquake!"

A large piece of the ground in the middle of the City Hall Square sank, and several people were caught off guard and fell down before they even had time to call for help.Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the big hole in the ground, like a bottomless mouth, trying to swallow everyone.After being stunned for a moment, someone started to call the police, and soon heard the sound of a helicopter patrol plane.

At this time, people nearby began to feel the steaming heat coming from the big pit,

After hearing the news, the assembled police began to help tourists evacuate, and suddenly a woman screamed.Black oil slowly seeped out from the ground, and after a while, it overflowed the soles of everyone's shoes.

As a result, the square became more and more panicked, and people ran around in the black crude oil.The police car was stuck in the local area and could not move, so they had to call for new rescue.

The phone at the headquarters of Dulcell Energy Company was about to explode, and countless reporters blocked the door asking for interviews.

Joseph's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He stared at the group of subordinates who dared not breathe, and suddenly asked by name, "Hugues, what do you think?"

Ling Yuge's heart was like a tsunami, and his face was still calm, "I think it's an exception. The area of ​​Naples has been developed a bit too much."

First, the Campi Flegrei Volcano belongs to the planned oil production, and then it is Vesuvius' self-talk.In the territory of Italy, the geological structure has always been not stable, but then again, where the geological structure is flat and stable, oil cannot be produced.

Joseph muttered to himself, which seemed to be a few curses, and then he calmed down, "Before it collapses, sell some stocks first. The oil production rights of Mount Vesuvius can be transferred in due course. We still have power energy, a small loss will not hurt the bones."

He looked at Ling Yuge again, "Do what you have told you, and do it in time. You don't need to worry about public opinion. I want to arrange people who can go to Mars to work as soon as possible..." The big boss looked around aggressively, "I miss you all Probably everyone is willing to come with me!" He looked at the employees who had their own thoughts, and said so.

The earth's environment is definitely going to be in crisis. After this incident, maybe there will be a big clean-up after the fall. Seeing that the boss is about to run away, he must not follow.For a while, the employees with families and children were frowning, while the single ones were a little happy.

Joseph didn't bother to care about their small calculations, and continued to say to Ling Yuge, "I'll give you the contact information of my personal doctor. You can talk to him and ask him if he is willing to go to Mars with us."

Ling Yuge nodded.

There was a cruel smile on the corner of Joseph’s mouth, and he said meaningfully, “Don’t be stupid, I heard that Mars is now better built than Earth. Haven’t you noticed how many people apply to move to Mars every year, and they are either rich or Gui. I advise everyone, if you have the ability and means to leave quickly, after a while, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!”

"What are the requirements for moving to Mars? Can I bring my family?" Nicola Bernard asked. A middle-aged man in his 40s, with a wife and children, he doesn't want to be exiled alone.

Joseph became serious in a rare way, he got up from the boss chair, "Listen, everyone! We have a meeting today, there is no automatic electronic record, and I didn't even invite Mrs. Olson to the scene, so I went out this door , I will not admit it at all. Seeing that you are my good colleagues for many years, I will tell you this. "

Looking around with his cat-like eyes, he felt satisfied when he saw his subordinates nodding their heads like chickens pecking rice, "The conditions for moving to Mars are very strict, personal income, social status and even business level are all within the scope of assessment. It can be said that the higher the comprehensive score, the more you can bring the relatives you want to take with you. You..." He stuck out his chin and nodded, "It's not a big problem to bring your wife and children, but if you want to bring more, it's enough."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Going to such a broken place where prisoners are exiled, and such a high threshold, did the boss get some news that this earth is going to end?

"Promote the Martian economic chain, develop local resources, and better serve mankind. Naturally, you can't let the waste wood waste opportunities." Joseph leaned back on the chair and said lightly, "So the elite of the elite will definitely be selected. You don't have to worry about the Earth, it outlives any of us."

Joseph stood up, "After you think about it, send the file to Hugues."

He turned to Ling Yuge again, "Go and ask Dr. Bernard. If he doesn't object, ask him to make a list of accompanying items. Tell him, I don't force it, but I really hope he can go with us, because I need him badly!"

(to be continued)

ready to go

Before Ling Yuge had time to meet Dr. Bernard, he received the news of Jian Yiwen's death.Jian Ling spoke very concisely during the call, telling him the date and location of the funeral in a few words, and then cut off the signal, leaving him alone in a daze.

Jian Yiwen is dead!He had seen this son for the last time, and he died without regrets or fear.Ling Yuge let out a long breath, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time.

Although his mother was a prisoner, she lived more like a life in freedom, while his father, completely overwhelmed by self-blame and worry, lived in a cage for half his life.

"He insisted on refusing to change his heart," Jian Ling, who was dressed in plain clothes, looked at his father's peaceful face lying in the coffin, and suddenly said, "Maybe this day will be a relief for him."

Ling Yuge felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, his throat was sore, he swallowed hard, "He didn't let mom down!" It was so hard to squeeze out such a sentence.

"No!" Jian Ling replied quickly, "He just never tells lies." He also doesn't speak soft words. More than 30 years ago, facing the endless crying of his son who was less than ten years old, he just used Look at the child with distressed eyes, or give an indifferent back that thinks he is strong.It wasn't until the child gave up on him completely and despaired that he discovered to his horror that the child had grown up, became independent, and didn't need him anymore.

Jian Ling found that in the past 30 years, he had never looked at his father as seriously as he did now. He was really old, and his body seemed to have shrunk.The straight and elegant Jian Yiwen in that old photo has become a little old man with guilt eyes and bitter face forever.

There were no other guests in the simple side hall of the funeral home, and there were few electronic wreaths in mourning. This was Jian Yiwen's own intention, and he didn't want to alarm relatives and friends.

There was a slight humming sound in the room, and the coffin lid was slowly closed.The flowers surrounding the coffin also scattered to the left and right, revealing a section of the metal track.The electronic portrait of Jian Yiwen on the wall was slowly withdrawn, revealing a small door, and then there was a slight "啦" sound, and the coffin slowly slid towards the small door.Opposite is the area of ​​high temperature vaporization.As long as the door is closed, the pressure and temperature inside will vaporize the corpse and the coffin at the same time, and not even a piece of ashes will be left behind.

This is also what Jian Yiwen meant. In an era when most people still choose traditional cremation and compress ashes into artificial diamonds, Jian Yiwen chose to completely erase his traces from the world.

The two brothers stood hand in hand, neither weeping nor making unnecessary movements. They stood there for a long, long time, until a soft electronic sound reminded them to leave, and the small auditorium was reserved for the next customer.

Walking down the high steps of the funeral parlor, the sky was dazzlingly blue, and the sun made Ling Yuge a little dizzy, so he squinted his eyes hard.

"Are you ready?" Jian Ling asked suddenly, "When are you leaving?"

"The exact date hasn't been set yet, it depends on the boss's wishes, but it's coming soon." Ling Yuge replied honestly, seeing Jian Ling nodding silently, he couldn't help asking, "What about you?"

A few days ago, he was educated by his boss, "Didn't I tell you that each country has drawn up a list of elites who will travel to Mars first, and your elder brother with the same father and mother has long been in the forefront without any dispute, and There is no need for the government of his nationality to come forward, and he is directly protected by the special personnel of the United Nations. Do you know the name of that spaceship? 'Ark II'! Your brother, he is a hand-picked protected rare animal, more precious than you He is not qualified to leave. He doesn’t keep in touch with you because he doesn’t want too many people to know about it.” The boss tapped Ling Yuge with the hand that didn’t hold the cigarette, meaning, silly boy.

Ling Yuge is really stupid, he really can't understand this logical relationship, is it possible that Jian Ling is still guarding against being envied by him, isn't it?So today, he couldn't help asking out his doubts.

Jian Ling didn't answer right away, but looked up at the sky, "Even if it's close to the earth, it's more than 2 million kilometers away. I've never traveled such a long journey before, so I'm a little afraid." The tone was very solemn, and I couldn't hear it Just kidding.

"Will you?" Ling Yuge suddenly smiled.

"Yes!" Jian Ling said seriously, "So I plan not to leave."

"Huh?" Ling Yuge looked at him in surprise, wanting to ask why.

"Although it will be difficult
