But in the next second, all the live broadcasts and the images on the screens in the building disappeared, replaced by Director Sawai's face.
"I'm TPC Director Soichiro Sawai. I'm sure everyone has heard of me."
On the screen, Director Sawai, dressed in formal attire, spoke in a kind yet serious tone.
"I believe everyone has experienced a lot today and felt feelings they have never experienced before, and I feel the same way."
"We must admit that it was indeed an unforgettable and wonderful feeling, but after waking up from that dream, we have to reflect on whether such an outcome is really good for us."
“It is true that the world we live in is not as perfect as in dreams. On the contrary, it is very cruel. However, even so, it is real. Our relatives, lovers and friends only exist in reality. Everything we do only has meaning in reality.”
"I can't force you to make a choice, but I still hope you will think carefully about whether you want to choose a false dream or reality."
“Humanity will face many challenges in the future, and I hope to step into a new era with everyone.”
Chapter 280: Eternal Life (Part 1)
Reality is never pretty.
Otherwise, when the Ilud Nine appeared, there wouldn't have been so many people who believed their nonsense.
Those who truly love life are those who, after knowing the cruelty of life, still choose to face it with a positive attitude, but not everyone can do this.
The pursuit of a utopia where one can escape the pressure of reality is what people have been pursuing since ancient times.
Zijella provides people with a dream where everything is perfect, but the only drawback is that everything is just a dream after all.
When Director Sawai finished speaking, countless people fell silent as screens in different places began to simultaneously broadcast scenes of people fighting for Zijera and people on the other side of the earth trapped in Zijera's dream.
--ugly.
If I have to describe it, these two words are probably the most appropriate.
The scene, like a drug addict pursuing pollen to satisfy his emptiness, unfolded before everyone, and everyone couldn't help but fall into silence.
What hurts a fat person's heart is never the words of others, but the real number on the scale.
"Dad, let's not have Qi Jiela anymore, okay?"
"Yeah, the way Mom was snatching Zigela earlier really became scary."
"Although I have my parents in my dreams, I still want to be with them in reality."
As more and more voices were heard, first from the children and then from the adults, more and more people woke up from their obsession with Zigela.
Yes, although the world in dreams is beautiful, it is just a dream after all.
Megumi Iruma can reunite with her deceased husband in her dreams.
Lina can make up for the childhood lost to her father in her dreams.
In his dreams, Horii may be a world-famous handsome man.
Wu Rui can become a golden partner with Kallen, who is not a robot, in his dreams.
All of this sounds so beautiful, but it is just a dream.
——I and everything I love are in this not-so-beautiful reality.
"Damn it! Why did you let this thing appear? Don't let me see this thing again!"
A man took out the Zijella flower he had snatched from his pocket, threw it to the ground while crying, and then stomped on it several times.
And this seemed to be the beginning. People discarded the flowers that exuded fatal temptation and then destroyed them by all means.
They don't need this kind of false happiness!
"Come on, Diamanexus!"
The situation changed dramatically in just a few minutes.
Green laser cannons were continuously fired from the TPC fighter planes in the air, blasting off the vines that emerged from the ground.
Although there are many vines in Qijiela, they are no match for the united people.
"Dagu!"
"understand!"
Dagu, who understood what Lin Zhun meant, nodded.
And Qi Jiela, who seemed to sense some crisis, did not care about his weakness at night and forced himself to grow more vines to pounce on the two.
But before they got close, Lin Jun launched a cross storm, instantly destroying all the attacking vines.
Chapter 281: Eternal Life (Part 2)
"No, it's still not too late now!" Dark red flames emerged from Lin Jun's hands.
But before he could do anything, Lu Ke on the opposite side raised his hand to stop his next move.
"No, really no, we have lived long enough, so long that even we have forgotten what it feels like to be alive."
Luke and Dina had a smile of relief on their faces.
"Thanks to you, the Eight/Si Update Group:, we now know what true life is. We strive to live our short lives to the fullest and leave our achievements to future generations. This is how humans grow over and over again. It's truly remarkable."
The same was true of the ancient people in the past, but as Lu Ke said, they have lived for too long in the past 30 million years, so long that they no longer feel what death is, let alone so-called growth.
Their lives had long been stagnant, and now being able to see people in later generations walk out of their tragedy, make what they said was a new journey, and redeem themselves from past regrets is already more worthy of applause than anything that has happened in the past 30 million years.
Their regrets and obsessions have been satisfied, and now it is time for them to embark on their final journey - death.
As the sun rose and the night faded, Luke and Dina, with a look of satisfaction on their faces, turned into countless particles of light and eventually disappeared into the air.
They left but were incredibly satisfied.
Looking at the figure disappearing in the sun, Lin Jun and Dagu were silent for a long time.
After turning around and giving a thumbs up to the cheering crowd behind them, the two chose to leave.
"Did you win?"
At the same time that Zijera was knocked down, in a secret prison supervised by TPC, listening to the cheers of the prison guards outside the iron bars and the content broadcast on TV, Masaki Keigo was stunned for a moment.
——Humanity is beyond salvation.
When he saw everyone addicted to Zijera pollen this morning, and even the prison guards were fighting over the thing in an ugly way, Keigo Masaki, who knew what was in front of him, made a conclusion.
Feelings of sadness, helplessness and unwillingness surged from the bottom of my heart, but ultimately turned into a mockery of the world's stupidity and my own helplessness.
However, now the euthanasia messenger from the earth, the Qijela flower that caused the extinction of the ancient times, has been trampled into a puddle of mud.
"Human, is this what a human is?"
Looking at the completely lifeless young Zijella, Masaki Keigo fell silent.
If he had previously fallen into despair because of the failure of his plan, now he had begun to reflect thoroughly.
Perhaps humans are not as cowardly and incompetent as he thinks.
It is true that they need the guidance of light, but it is not a high and mighty existence like God.
"It turns out I was really wrong. Why didn't I discover such a simple truth before?"
No, it's not that he didn't notice it, Lin Zhun and Dagu had even told him clearly, but he just ignored it.
"I'm the only one who truly thinks I'm special, from the beginning to the end."
When he came to this conclusion, an expression appeared on Masaki Keigo's face, which was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing.
Chapter 282: Ebron Cells (Part 1)
Although the commotion caused by Zijella brought humanity to the brink of destruction, fortunately, no irreversible consequences were caused in the end.
After a brief period of chaos, human society returned to normal. It must be admitted that the disappearance of Zijera was indeed a pity for many people.
Putting aside the beautiful dreams brought by pollen, at least in the subsequent research on the remains of Zijella, humans have discovered the various uses of Zijella as Lu Ke said, such as conquering cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and even cancer.
But it’s too late to say these things now. After all, life must go on.
A peaceful and harmonious life has returned again. Although some disturbances are inevitable, it is still peaceful overall.
"But I never thought that one day we would help lost children find their mothers."
In Drum's car, Lin Zhun, who was driving, whistled and sighed.
However, when Horii, who was sitting in the back seat and changing clothes because his date was interrupted, heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"I'll say it again, that's not a child, that's a monster, okay?"
Although there is nothing wrong with it in fact, it is a bit too much to say that a 40-meter-tall monster is an ordinary child.
In fact, not long after the Zijella incident, a space monster that looked like a snail but had a rainbow-colored shell landed on Earth.
However, although it is a monster, it has no malicious intentions. It just came to Earth because it was accidentally lost. It even mistook the siren of Enoden for the call of its mother.
——Overall, he is a very gentle and lovely guy.
At least after being used to seeing Golzan, Gazot or other ferocious monsters, the monster code-named Darabon did make everyone in the Victory Team feel relieved.
As for the final result, there is no need to say much. Being taken away from the earth by Lin Jun and Da Gu and sent back to his mother is considered a good result.
Unfortunately, the peaceful days didn't last for a few days before new incidents occurred - just before the Victory Team received a report that a mutant monkey had bitten through the underground cables and caused a power outage in a certain area.
"It's Ebron cells! There's no doubt about it, it must be Ebron cells!"
After returning to the operations room after investigating the scene, Horii said with certainty.
On the screen in the operations room, a video recorded by the surveillance camera was playing. A monkey with a twisted body and looking extremely strong punched the wall, then bit a thick cable, and then the whole screen went black.
The characteristic of gluttony for electricity, coupled with the record of escaped experimental animals obtained by Captain Iruma Kei from the Space Development Center, made Horii extremely certain that it was the Ebron cells that caused this incident.
"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible."
Two staff members from the Space Development Center who were sent to assist refuted Horii's statement.
"While it's true that some experimental animals escaped due to our negligence, it's impossible for them to survive this long."
Chapter 283 Ebron Cells (Part 2)
"Couldn't it be that the Ebron cells in that monkey have mutated?"
"How is that possible? It's simply a fantasy."
In response to Iruma Kei's question, the staff sent by the Space Center were full of confidence.
But his nonchalant look made Horii, who had been silent for a long time, explode.
"Listen to me, the mistake you made is not only invading the sacred and unknown realm of life, but also presumptuously trying to transform it!"
As if remembering the good friend he had lost because of the Ebron cells, Horii harshly rebuked the staff of the Space Development Center in front of him.
There is nothing wrong with exploring life. After all, medicine, which has saved countless lives, or breeding in agriculture and animal husbandry, are all the results of human exploration.
But all of this needs to abide by one principle - never be arrogant.
Whether it was Ryosuke Sanada who was once useful, or the current Space Development Center, they all made this mistake. In this field where carelessness is not tolerated, they took it for granted and relied too much on their so-called experience.
When faced with something that we don’t understand yet, how can past experience be 100% effective?
Horii's words made the space development staff on the opposite side blush, but they really had no way to refute it. After all, in the end, it was still their fault.
"But the most urgent task is to find that monkey first. If he wants to survive, he will need more electricity as a source of energy for his evolution."
Lin Jun brought the topic back to the main point. They could take their time after reflection and review, but the focus right now was the Malo that absorbed the electricity.
Horii snorted coldly and stopped chasing the people from the Space Development Center. Instead, he focused his attention on the monster that was about to appear.
"Judging from the current situation, the amount of electricity it absorbs from the underground cables is far from enough. Given the efficiency of Ebron cells in absorbing electricity, it will probably need to find a new source of electricity in five to three hours."
"Is there any way to find it?"
There is not much time left for the Victory Team, and it is indeed not easy to find the monkey in such a short time.
Of course, there is not absolutely no solution.
"How about cutting off the power supply around the S1 area?" Lin Zhun suggested.
"It shouldn't be able to get very far in three hours, and there's a power transmission station nearby. If the power to the surrounding area is temporarily cut off, there's a high probability that it will directly attack the power transmission station."
"And then we can just sit back and wait?"
"almost."
Moreover, that place is relatively close to the suburbs, and there are no residential areas, hospitals, or commercial streets around it, so there shouldn't be any problems.
