Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Why don't people on earth work hard?

Jin Yue didn't know the seriousness of our problem, she just smiled and fell beside Du Ling. Du Ling swallowed first, and then said: "Yes, they adopted a very direct method, 'borrowing' the bodies of people on Earth." After he made such a direct answer, there was a brief moment of silence between us. Then, I said word by word: "How many people came that time? More than sixty? That is to say, when your kind came to Earth last time, they killed more than sixty people on Earth." Du Ling smiled. What made me angry was that his smile looked very frivolous under such a severe accusation from me.He nodded: "It can be said that the bodies of those sixty or so people were borrowed, and their original lives naturally cannot be preserved."

Bai Su and I groaned extremely dissatisfied at the same time, and Du Ling sighed: "Is it necessary to be entangled in such trivial matters?" I said sharply, "It's very necessary, and that's no small matter." Bai Su was not as excited as I was, but she also said: "Aliens have taken the lives of people on Earth." Du Ling looked at us, it seemed that he also understood this issue, we took it very seriously, but his expression still made us angry - he even shrugged his shoulders; generally speaking, people can only express that things are not a big deal Only then did such an action occur.

I pointed at him and further criticized: "It is not too much to say that they are alien invaders. It is not like what you said, the aliens think that the earth is not worth invading." After I said this, I sneered , to express indignation. Bai Su and I have the same intentions. No matter how advanced Du Ling and his similar life forms are, how high their intelligence is, they do not have the right to take the lives of people on Earth casually. This is a matter of principle. A humble life for killing at will. If Du Ling does not have a satisfactory explanation for this behavior, Bai Su and I will not help him and Jin Yue go back.

At that time, I thought it was impossible for Du Ling to have an explanation that satisfied us, so I already decided that there would be a stalemate between us.At the same time, I also prepared that Du Ling would use progress and backwardness to make sophistry, and then I would give him a head-on blow. The progressive party casually kills the backward party, which is one of the ugly behaviors of human beings, such as white immigrants killing Indians in America, white people killing black people in Africa, etc., are human behaviors that should be condemned .If During and his ilk behave in the same way, they cannot be called progress either.

Bai Su and I both thought that Du Ling would be very panicked when we questioned him, so he had to answer carefully.However, Du Ling frowned, with an impatient expression on his face, and what he said was even more infuriating. He actually said: "You two really make trouble out of nothing. It happened a long time ago, and you keep mentioning it. what?" I waved my hand vigorously: "No, this is a matter of principle──" Then, I said what I thought just now, and the final conclusion was: "It seems that you are not so noble, and you also have the despicable behavior of the people on earth, and you can laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps."

Du Ling blushed in an instant with a very angry look on his face. Naturally, I wasn't afraid of him, and I still stared at him very sternly.He took a deep breath, then shook his head suddenly, his expression became helpless: "Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you, and tell you in detail." I proudly said: "Okay, the more detailed the better, we have plenty of time." As I said that, I pulled Bai Su, walked away a few steps, and sat down on a raised rock with my arms around my knees, looking at Du Ling, waiting for him to "explain in detail". As Du Ling walked back and forth, Jin Yue asked anxiously, "What happened? What are you arguing about?"

Du Ling made an exception and said in a rather stern voice: "If you don't understand, they don't either—how can we make them understand?" I sneered and said, "With your wisdom, it should be very easy." To be honest, my impression of Du Ling at that time was extremely bad.From the moment he offered to borrow our bodies, I felt that he didn't trust us at all—he didn't trust Earthlings at all. But he insisted on our help. I think he was using us from the beginning to the end. Du Ling looked at me: "Okay, let's start from a few years ago-a few years ago, a group of my kind used the method of memory group to sail the universe. The earth was not their goal at all. But when When they passed the earth, they sensed a strong...brain wave──”

When he said this, he paused for a while and looked at me. I made a gesture to express my understanding. Du Ling continued: "They all felt very strange, because only very advanced intelligent beings would have such a strong brain wave emission, and they sensed that it was a kind of brain wave emitted in a very critical state. A distress call." When Du Ling said this, he paused again, and added: "After they went back, they made a very detailed report on their space journey and the reason for staying on the earth. Therefore, the people on our planet , we all know what happened.”

I still responded with a sneer, because so far, Du Ling has not given a satisfactory explanation. Du Ling continued: "In this unexpected situation, they concluded that there are very advanced creatures on this planet, and this creature is in a very critical situation, so they decided to go to Come to Earth and see if there is any help that can be given." I wanted to say something sarcastic again, but before I could say anything, Bai Su took my hand and motioned me to keep quiet, so I held back and said nothing. Du Lingzai continued: "When they arrived on Earth and found the source of that powerful brain wave, they realized that things were quite different from their expectations."

When Du Ling said this, he swallowed and took another breath: "It is true that there are advanced creatures on the earth who are at a critical juncture of life and death, so there are brain waves that express a distress signal. But, It’s not a single one, but many, many—the brain waves of a single human being on Earth are very weak, and the combination of many, many, is so strong that it can be sensed by my kind passing through the earth.” I sneered: "After all, you still want to explain that the people on Earth are backward. I have made it very clear—no matter how advanced you are, no matter how backward the people on Earth are, you have no right to take the lives of people on Earth."

When I finished speaking, Bai Su asked a question: "Many, many people? How many?" When I was wondering why Bai Su asked such a question, Du Ling already had the answer: "Close to half a million people." Hearing this, I couldn't bear it anymore, stood up abruptly, and was about to use the harshest words to reprimand him for his nonsense, but Bai Su pulled me very hard.The force she used was so great it almost knocked me off my feet.I was very angry, Bai Su said: "Listen to him." I said loudly: "What's so interesting? It's nonsense. If there are nearly half a million people, if they are not threatened with death at the same time, how can they combine into powerful brain waves? Under what circumstances will such a situation appear? ?” Bai Su still said: "Listen to him." In Bai Su's voice, I could hear that she was in a very sad state of mind, I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, looked at her, and saw her eyes were also very sad, I quickly clenched her hand hand. At this time, Du Ling's voice sounded beside me: "Nearly half a million people are being massacred by their own kind, and some are being driven into a big earth pit. Stones and soil are raining down, killing them alive. Buried, some were beheaded by some weapons with very high carbon content and only mastered the preliminary refining technology of iron metal. The same kind sensed it." After Du Ling said this, I stood still and didn't make a sound. Du Ling's voice turned very calm—of course, it happened on the earth, and it had nothing to do with him as an alien. Not knowing what happened, they decided to stay for a period of time to study the behavior of intelligent creatures on this planet, although they were low in intelligence. In order to facilitate their actions, they borrowed the resources of a large number of people who were massacred at that time. Among them, the bodies of more than sixty people." Bai Su and I didn't say a word, we clasped our hands tightly and looked at Du Ling.At this time, I didn't feel that Du Ling's expression and actions were contemptuous at all. On the contrary, I felt that he felt the same deep sorrow as us. He only paused for a second or two: "The sixty or so people, even if their bodies are not borrowed, they must be the same as the other four hundred thousand people, and their lives will never be extended. I don't think the decision of my kind is the same. Such a despicable act, Mr. Wei, do you still insist on your accusation?" The situation will be like this, it is really beyond my imagination. I did not answer Du Ling's question. Du Ling said: "My kind, after returning, made such a report, and they also expected that we would not believe that such a thing would happen, so they tried to understand all the background of this incident as much as possible. They found out Yes, those who were massacred belonged to the losers of a war, the leader of the victors, ordered the killing, and the name of this leader was Bai Qi." Without waiting for Du Ling to say the name "Bai Qi", I already knew what he was talking about.Bai Su must have thought of it earlier than I did, so he repeatedly asked me to listen to Du Ling. This incident happened in 260 BC. Bai Qi was the general of the Qin State; he defeated the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping and killed more than 400,000 prisoners. This is something clearly recorded in Chinese history. More than 400,000 people, some were driven into earth pits to be buried alive, and some were hacked to death by weapons made of preliminary iron smelting techniques, all of which were carried out at the same time. The brainwaves of hundreds of thousands of victims calling for help formed a A signal, sensed by passing aliens, leads them to Earth. That's the way it is. In such a thing, can aliens be blamed for borrowing the bodies of more than sixty earthlings?Even if they don't borrow it, the more than 60 people will not be spared. More than 400,000 soldiers were killed. The bodies of Bai Su and I trembled involuntarily. Du Ling looked at us: "I don't understand why you are so shocked. What are more than 400,000 people? The Tang Dynasty of China in history──" He pointed to the golden moon: "It was the era in which she lived. The era you are proud of is called the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Up to now, you still call yourself Tang people. But in that era, a war that lasted ten years wiped out the population." From more than 40 million people to less than 20 million people, nearly 200,000 people died." Bai Su and I looked at each other, the "Anshi Rebellion" in the Tang Dynasty was also clearly recorded in history. Du Ling suddenly made a very strange expression: "Until recently, there have been tens of millions of casualties. The two of you must not be unaware, right? It's also more than 30 million." I waved my hands feebly, stood up staggeringly, feeling a total mental breakdown and failure. In front of my eyes, there are still many golden stars shining. Among those golden stars, I seem to see a series of words, such beautiful words, but they describe such ugly things. "Historical Records Baiqi Biography: The Qin army shot and killed Zhao Tian, ​​Tian's army was defeated by 400,000 soldiers, surrendered to Wu'an Lord, Wu'an Lord counted Bai, the former Qin had already uprooted the Shangdang, and the Shangdang people were not happy to return to Zhao for Qin. Zhao soldiers repeated , not by killing them all for fear of causing chaos, but by cheating and killing them all, and leaving the younger ones 240 people to return to Zhao. Four hundred and fifty thousand people were beheaded and captured, and the people of Zhao were shocked." When these 450,000 people were "defrauded" and "killed", their "distress calls" at the critical moment of life and death were naturally extremely strong. Du Ling's question actually already had an answer, and their behavior of the same kind was nothing at all. When these 450,000 soldiers were massacred, human beings were still in the "initial stage of ironmaking technology".Later, with the advancement of human science and technology, 30 million people died in the two wars, millions of Jews died in concentration camps, and tens of millions of Chinese died in various events of the "Cultural Revolution". In a kind of fighting. Aliens have borrowed the corpses of more than sixty earthlings who are sure to die, what is it? When I thought about all this, I felt even more unsteady. Bai Su saw that something was wrong with me, so she quickly stood up and wanted to help me, but her own situation was not much better. When holding me up, we are actually holding each other up so we don't fall. Du Ling's voice sounded very erratic to us, and he was saying, "The bodies of those sixty or so people must still be well preserved inside. Their kind came, and there was no great misfortune." Bai Su and I were still silent, I just made a gesture to stop Du Ling from continuing.But Du Ling didn't know whether he really didn't pay attention or didn't pay attention on purpose. He continued to say: "The death that happened by borrowing the body is no pain to them at all. Compared with being buried alive or being killed by a knife and gun, I don't know how much better." There was a "crack" sound in my throat, and I finally burst out two words: "Enough." But Du Ling continued: "The 450,000 people who were killed were all strong men, each of them had a family, old or young, and there were millions of people who were crying and mourning for the dead. There are more than 60 people in the body, my kind found their families and gave them proper care. They have quite detailed records. Alas, at that time... on the earth, the lives of people on the earth... simply violated the fundamentals of biology in principle." I stared and fixed my eyes on Du Ling, he was talking eloquently, but I could only catch my breath. He also said: "The reason why my kind is attracted to stay on the earth for research is that all creatures in the universe strive for the chance of survival. When the chance of survival is threatened, they will do their best. strength in order to continue to survive. However, the people on Earth have violated this principle, knowing that they must die, anyway, if they are dead, why no one rises up and fights? If the 450,000 people stand up and fight with the determination to die, at least 10% of them will die. One, if you have the chance to continue to live, why do people who know they are going to die lose the courage to go all out?" Du Ling asked very seriously, obviously he wanted to know the answer very much.It is also obvious that although his kind has conducted long-term research on the earth, they still have no answer to this question. Naturally, I couldn't answer - I couldn't make a sound at all, and of course I couldn't answer. Bai Su sighed at this time: "Historical records of this kind of thing, there is a record of 'coercion and murder', coercion, that is, Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an, used fraudulent means to make The soldiers thought they didn't have to die, so they didn't rise up and resist." Du Ling shook his head: "That's not a reason. There are many massacres in human history, and no one has resisted them desperately. If they resisted desperately at the beginning, this kind of thing will definitely not last for thousands of years." Bai Su couldn't help being speechless, and after a while, she said: "Through the ages, the only one who dies is death. Although there are some martyrs who desperately risk their lives, for ordinary people, they all hope that in the situation of enduring humiliation, things will be fine. There is a turning point, maybe this is... the characteristics of the earthlings?" Bai Su's voice was so bewildered, she said, Du Ling shook his head, he looked at us, and suddenly said: "Why do you two look so ugly? I'm sorry, I touched...some things that you two don't want to think about. The problem? You forced me... to explain the behavior of my kind." Both Bai Su and I smiled wryly, and my voice was weak: "It's nothing, we will return to normal soon." Du Ling looked at Jin Yue again, Jin Yue didn't make a sound, but looked shocked.Du Ling asked her softly, "What did you think of?" Jin Yue took a deep breath: "In the desert, the Xiongnu bandits sometimes captured the enemy, and would make the captives run away in the desert, and he would chase and kill them on horseback. I saw one time, there were more than a hundred people, the Xiongnu bandits As soon as the order was given, everyone ran away with all their strength, but no one went to the Xiongnu to fight for their lives, and as a result, no one of the more than a hundred people escaped with their long swords raging." Du Ling was shocked, pointing to Jin Yue: "You have retained such a terrible memory in your mind." Jin Yueshen said emotionally: "Everyone is thinking: I can escape. If someone else dies, it has nothing to do with me. So everyone just tries their best to escape, and no one finds the Huns to fight for their lives. If this one hundred If many people are united and attack together, the Xiongnu bandits will kill at most 20 or 30 of them. However, who would be willing to be the 20 or 30 people?" Unexpectedly, what Jin Yue said answered Du Ling's question to some extent. I breathed a sigh of relief: "So, the people on Earth didn't violate the principles of life, they just misused the way to maintain the existence of life. They only thought of escaping, but didn't think of desperately." Later, Wen Baoyu and I talked about the long conversation with Du Ling, and they all looked sad.In human history, from ancient times to the present, from China to the outside world, there are many opportunities to succeed as long as you work hard, but too few people have this courage and hard work, so they missed the opportunity, and the most distressing Yes, without fighting hard, the result is still loss of life. To put an end to the ugliest aspects of human behavior, the ugliest behavior must keep hitting.If everyone is unwilling to be a slave and is determined to deal with the strong, the strong will never succeed and will naturally disappear. Of course, that is just a kind of hope. There are too many weak and submissive in human nature, and too little desperate determination. This is a later story. At that time, Bai Su and I took a while to recover, the sun had already set to the west, and it took us more than two hours before our emotions returned to normal. We can see the heavy blow we suffered. Du Ling saw that we were gradually returning to normal. He never mentioned the topic we discussed just now, pointed at the cliff, and asked for our consent: "Shall we continue?" Bai Su and I nodded together, and Du Ling said again: "Wait a minute, the operation procedure you two are going to perform requires the operator to be highly concentrated, please don't think about what happened just now." I smiled wryly: "Don't worry, it's not the first time we have suffered this kind of... similar blow. Whenever we are with friends from other planets, there is always a chance to accept some very cruel facts." Du Ling didn't say anything, and walked forward arm in arm with Jin Yue, Bai Su and I followed - after getting off the helicopter, we walked towards the cliff in this order, and suddenly, there was such a A discussion was delayed for more than two hours, which was naturally unexpected. After a while, Du Ling came to the front of the cliff, raised his hand suddenly, made a stop gesture, and at the same time, let out an exclamation. Bai Su and I also immediately saw that something was wrong. Where Du Ling stopped, there was a stone crevice about one meter wide in front of him. It can be speculated that walking through this stone crevice will lead to the base.The top and sides of the stone crevices were covered with vines. At this time, many wild vines fell to the ground. These wild vines might have covered the stone crevices. The wild vines are as thick as an arm. This kind of plant has extremely strong vitality and incomparable tenacity. It is neat, and it is clear at a glance that it was cut off by some sharp weapon. Due to the strong vitality of wild vines, if a section is cut off, it can survive with a little water and soil, so it is impossible to tell when it was cut down. Du Ling held the wild vine and looked at me suspiciously.I am better than him at judging this kind of thing, I immediately said: "Someone has been here, maybe recently, someone has entered this crevice." Du Ling had guessed this too, but he was unwilling to admit it. Hearing what I said with such certainty, his handsome face turned pale, and he was speechless for a while.I couldn't help being surprised: "There is no defense inside? Someone has entered, and will it cause damage?" Du Ling's voice faltered a bit: "It's...it's hard to say, this place is extremely secretive, and I never thought anyone would come here." Bai Su was relatively calm: "It's useless to be anxious here, go in and have a look, and you'll know what's going on!" Jin Yue also knew that there was a change, and grabbed Du Ling's hand anxiously. Du Ling took the lead and walked in through the crack of the stone. I let Bai Su go in front, and I stayed behind. As soon as I walked in, there was a gloomy air rushing towards my face, and it was also very dark.
