Annihilation of the solar system

(Extra introduction: Continuing from the above)

The time he was asleep was filled with fragmented dreams. Those dreams were so disorganized that they could not be connected into one or several complete stories. However, they all had one thing in common, every thing in each dream.

, whether it is people, objects or other things, they will eventually scatter and splash like the spray cans used at celebrations.

There was no trace of explosive fire, no sound, and no reason. It just scattered and splashed. But he himself only dared to hide in the dark shadow at his feet and watch everything.

If something happens, don't dare to step too far.

In the twisted and collapsed dream, everything was spinning and separating silently like a kaleidoscope. Suddenly, Li Linjie heard a heart-warming voice.

"Lin Jie, are you okay?"

This voice made him excited, and even his manic dreams were restrained. In the dream where pieces of paper were flying, a slim figure appeared.

reader body

"Xiaomeng, is that you?"

She turned around and smiled sweetly, and her impeccable face made the whole world quiet. He felt that he could finally take a breath of fresh and sweet air, and the collapsed world gradually faded away from his eyes.

He tried hard to see clearly whether the face of the girl in front of him was Xiao Meng, but the harder he tried, the blurrier her figure became.

Li Linjie finally opened his eyes, and Ye Wanqing was looking at him anxiously in front of the white sheets:

"Lin Jie, you're awake. How do you feel?"

Ke Guohao, who was originally standing at the window, also quickly walked to the window:

"When you were unconscious, you were talking nonsense, and you kept moving and twitching. You scared us to death."

A forced smile appeared on Li Linjie's pale face, and he was about to say something. Suddenly, his peripheral vision glanced at the window of the room. The transparent starry sky dotted with stars made him shiver involuntarily, and his eyes quickly opened.

Avoid the direction of the window.

Ye Wanqing noticed this, she walked over and closed the curtains, and Li Linjie seemed to feel more comfortable.

"Wanqing, who is Lin Jie?" Ke Guohao asked unclearly, but before he finished speaking, Ye Wanqing glared at him.

!

"How are my team members doing?" Li Linjie's voice still sounded weak.

Ye Wanqing sat back beside Li Linjie's bed. She patted Li Linjie's hand gently:

"The area with the highest density of meteorite rain was concentrated on the side where you were hiding. Everyone else was fine. The three team members whose spacesuits were broken were not hurt by the loss of pressure because they were blocked in time. Only"

Ye Wanqing did not say Qiu Yusheng's name, and Li Linjie nodded slightly and sighed.

"Brother, don't think too much. It's very difficult for you to handle such a density of meteorite rain. Later we checked Qiu Yusheng's spacesuit. From his calf to the back of his neck, there were more than a dozen of them.

There are tiny cracks everywhere. They are all caused by flying pieces of cutting. In that case, no one can survive."

Ke Guohao comforted him. Li Linjie just nodded lightly and said nothing. Ye Wanqing said:

"You experienced something like that and were in a coma for another day. You must be very hungry. I will get you something to eat. You will be fine soon after you have a good rest."

After saying that, he pulled Ke Guohao and left the room together.

"Why do you want me to go with you? I'll stay with him there. Can't you just go to the cafeteria to get him food?" Ke Guohao reluctantly said to Ye Wanqing after walking out of the infirmary.

Ye Wanqing looked back at the closed door, then pulled Ke Guohao quickly for a short distance before stopping:

explain

"Lin Jie might be suffering from PTSD!"

Ke Guohao looked at Ye Wanqing and his eyes widened:

"ptsd! Traumatic stress disorder? No"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Wanqing quickly pulled Ke Guohao's hand, then stretched out a finger and stood up in front of her mouth:

"Keep your voice down!"

Ke Guohao quickly looked around and lowered his volume:

"No way!"

Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly helplessly:

"If my analysis is correct, it's space phobia to be precise."

"Space phobia? This is wrong. I don't think he has any reaction in the space in the ward?" Ke Guohao still didn't understand what Ye Wanqing said.

"I personally picked him up at the scene of the incident. When he came out of the shadows, he showed great resistance. That resistance was not timidity or cowardice, but a physiological reaction that could not be overcome by willpower. In the end, Duncan carried it

He went into shock when he got on the shuttle. And you also saw it in the ward just now. He would have a slight reaction when he looked out the window."

Ke Guohao nodded as if he understood, remembering the details Ye Wanqing mentioned.

"His space phobia is not about claustrophobic spaces, but open spaces." Ye Wanqing's words made Ke Guohao suddenly realize.

"Yes, yes! I have seen the video of the incident. The meteorite rain that was like a thousand arrows piercing the heart was really terrifying, and"

Ke Guohao paused for a moment, with a sad look on his face. Ye Wanqing continued:

"Moreover, Qiu Yusheng, who he had always treated like a younger brother, died so tragically in his arms."

"What if Lin Jie really suffers from PTSD?" Ke Guohao looked at Ye Wanqing anxiously, hoping that her friend, a medical professional, could think of a solution.

Ye Wanqing shook her head slightly.

"PTSD is very difficult to treat, but there is no precedent for short-term recovery. After Lin Jie has eaten and regained his energy, we will first test the extent of his spatial fear."

When Ye Wanqing and Ke Guohao returned to the infirmary with steaming food, Li Linjie had already gotten up from the bed. He was staring at a small photo in his hand intently, with a heartfelt smile on his face. Look.

When Ye Wanqing and the others entered the house, they quickly put the photos in their pockets.

Ke Guohao put the dinner plate on the table and said with a smile:

"You don't have to hide anymore! You only have two photos in total. The bigger one is a family photo. The smaller one is a photo of Xiaomeng. Wanqing and I won't laugh at you."

A faint smile also appeared on Li Linjie's face.

After eating, Li Linjie's energy recovered a lot. Ye Wanqing told him that after eating on an empty stomach under the gravitational environment of the moon, he must walk and exercise, otherwise it will easily cause indigestion. In this way, Li Linjie was in the two places.

I took a walk in the base accompanied by my friends.

On the way, they recalled the three stages of trial training together, especially the most difficult stage 1. Ye Wanqing also said that when they got off the plane, the first thing they noticed was not the sunny and handsome face.

Ke Guohao was instead the thin and depressed Li Linjie, which made Ke Guohao cry out for injustice.

The three people were talking and laughing, and Li Linjie's spirit and body had basically returned to normal. At this time, they came to the glass dome restaurant. The strong sunlight from outside was scattered into the room through the filter glass of the dome. Because now according to the earth

It was late at night, and there was no one in the restaurant.

Soft light filled the entire restaurant, and outside the dome was the vast starry sky and the earth hanging in the sky like a crescent moon. On the floor of the porch, a dividing line between light and dark was formed due to the obstruction of the door frame, and the three people walking there

When he reached the edge of the dividing line, Li Linjie suddenly felt weak in his feet, goosebumps appeared all over his body, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and palms.

He subconsciously reached out to support Ke Guohao beside him, and Ye Wanqing also held his other arm. Li Linjie was shaking all over and gasping for air.

"Brother, everything is over! You have to take this step!" Ke Guohao looked firmly at the pale Li Linjie. Ye Wanqing also said:

"Lin Jie, you must overcome your fear. Think about the rigorous selection training we have gone through, and think about those people who still need your protection. You must get out!"

Li Linjie looked at Ke Guohao, then turned to look at Ye Wanqing. He wiped the cold sweat that had covered his forehead, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath. Then he concentrated all his energy on lifting the right hand that looked like it had been filled with lead.

Leg, he let out a low growl of "hum hum" and raised his right leg tremblingly.

He shakily maintained this independent posture like a golden rooster for a while, his face was once again covered in cold sweat, and big beads of sweat slowly fell to the ground. Finally he made up his mind, closed his eyes tightly, and put all the weight of his body on it.

He leaned on his raised right leg and stepped forward.

The moment his toes crossed the line of light and shadow, he felt a burning sting sweep through every nerve cell in his body, and the soft light pierced his whole body like a sharp knife. There was a muscle spasm all over his body, and if

If it weren't for Ke Guohao and Ye Wanqing's support, he would have fallen to the ground.

Li Linjie gasped for air, as if every breath of air he inhaled had no oxygen content. Before he could recover from the pain, his stomach experienced another strong spasm.

Back in the infirmary, Li Linjie's physical discomfort has been basically relieved. But his mental state has become even more depressed. In addition to the fear of space that has not completely dissipated, there is also disappointment in himself. Ke Guohao paced back and forth in the room, and Ye Wanqing sat

Li Linjie looked at Li Linjie quietly on the chair, and no one spoke.

"Aren't there any effective drugs or treatments?" Ke Guohao finally broke the long-term dullness.

Ye Wanqing glared at him fiercely. Ke Guohao realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized:

"Lin Jie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I was also worried."

Li Linjie shook his head lightly and sighed:

"It's okay. Thank you for accompanying me. It's getting late. You should go back and rest early. I'm tired too."

p Ke Guohao looked troubled, not knowing what to say. He looked anxiously at Li Linjie and then at Ye Wanqing.

"This is my own problem. You can't help me, Wanqing, are you right?"

Ye Wanqing took a shallow breath, closed her eyes gently and nodded. Then she stood up, took out a box of medicine from the bedside cabinet and placed it on the counter:

"Lin Jie is right, he has to rely on himself. Remember to take these medicines after an hour, which can relieve your cramping symptoms. Guohao, let's go back to rest first, Lin Jie needs to rest too."

Ke Guohao looked confused, but had no other choice but to follow Ye Wanqing out of the infirmary.

After walking out of the infirmary, without waiting for Ke Guohao to ask questions, Ye Wanqing pulled him quickly to another consulting room nearby. She turned on the computer on the desk.

"If Lin Jie's problem cannot be cured, wouldn't he be transferred out of the Guanghan Palace base?" Ke Guohao's face was full of sorrow.

Ye Wanqing nodded and continued to operate the computer:

"Yes, if he cannot overcome his space phobia, he will definitely be transferred back to Earth. The base has a precedent for this, and this is the diagnostic suggestion I gave."

Ke Guohao sighed:

novel

"Hey! Although I can't bear to let him go, but this may not be a bad thing for him."

Ye Wanqing's sharp eyes glanced at Ke Guohao, making him take half a step back:

"What's not a bad thing! You have to know that this kind of spatial phobia induced by PTSD will basically be impossible to recover in a lifetime if it leaves the place where it was induced. Inexplicable tension and anxiety will accompany him for the rest of his life, and may even develop.

Become depressed or have a split personality."

Ke Guohao was shocked:

"Then we must find a way to help him!"

After Ye Wanqing operated on the computer for a while, the situation in the infirmary where Li Linjie was located was displayed on the screen.

"Is Lin Jie's room monitored?" Ke Guohao looked surprised.

"Nonsense, that is an infirmary, not a dormitory. There is no monitoring. If something goes wrong with the patient, how can the doctor on duty know immediately?" Ye Wanqing's tone was a little impatient.

In the picture, Li Linjie was still sitting on the chair as before. He took out the small photo from his pocket again, looked at the content in the photo and was stunned, and a simple smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This kid, after so many years, still can't let go." Ke Guohao said.

Ye Wanqing shook her head:

"It's not that he can't let go. When he encounters such a mental blow, he will naturally open up the small garden that only he knows that is hidden in the deepest part of his heart. The people who live in that small garden, no matter what they are like in real life, in

In his heart, he always lives the way he wants."

Ke Guohao was confused at first, and then suddenly thought of something.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. But you said it would be useful if you brought Xiao Meng to comfort him face to face?"

After hearing Ke Guohao's idea, Ye Wanqing's eyes lit up and she patted Ke Guohao's arm:

"You kid, you're not as stupid as you look sometimes!"

Ke Guohao looked embarrassed, feeling that Ye Wanqing was ridiculing him again.

"Aren't you a software engineer, an IT elite? Can you handle computer network matters?"

Ke Guohao immediately regained his usual confidence:

"You have really mentioned my strongest point! In our Guanghan Palace base, no matter whether it is software or hardware technology, you can't find anyone who is better than me."

p

Ye Wanqing looked directly at Ke Guohao and said seriously:

"Okay, I added sleeping ingredients to Lin Jie's medicine. After he goes to sleep, go and get the photo of Xiaomeng."

Ke Guohao looked at Ye Wanqing's handsome face with a sad expression:

"What the hell is this!"

Ye Wanqing still had the same serious expression as before, it didn't look like she was joking:

"You do as I say, maybe this will help him get better in the shortest time. And this must be kept secret, otherwise it won't work."

Although he didn't know what method Ye Wanqing was going to use, Ke Guohao still said decisively:

"That's fine! As long as it can make Lin Jie get better, I will do whatever you say."

On the second day, it was 6 a.m. in the east zone of Earth 8. Li Linjie struggled to wake up from his drowsy sleep. It was another dreamy night.

On the third day, he was trapped in a dream as shattered as a pile of confetti, feeling as uncomfortable as a bird that couldn't break through its egg membrane. The door suddenly opened, and Ke Guohao excitedly held a tablet.

The computer came in.

"Lin Jie! Please clean yourself up quickly. There will be a video connection soon."

Li Linjie sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and rubbed his temples with his hands and said listlessly:

"It's so early, what kind of video connection is there?"

Ke Guohao put the tablet on the table and walked back to the door:

"It may be online in two or three minutes, so hurry up! Wanqing and I spent a lot of effort to get this connection, so you should seize the opportunity yourself."

After saying that, Li Linjie pushed open the door and went out without waiting for an answer. After going out, Ke Guohao took a few steps, leaned his back against the bulkhead and sighed, then clasped his hands together as if praying for something.

Li Linjie was a little confused by the tablet that Ke Guohao mysteriously sent. He took out a cigarette box-sized wet wipe from the humidor and sat at the table. At this time, the screen displayed on the screen was creating a network link between the moon and the earth.

Background image.

"Who did this national hero want me to video chat with so early in the morning?" Li Linjie said to himself while rubbing his eyes with the reusable wet wipe.

At this time, a low-pixel picture appeared on the screen, and only a blurry figure could be seen on the screen, which was a sign that the connection was established.

When the blurry figure on the screen gradually became clear, Li Linjie's whole body was shaken. He was in a state of drowsiness caused by a night of broken dreams, the pain of muscle spasms, the self-blame for the death of his companions, and the fear of the meteorite and the rain of fire.

All these negative emotions that were about to overwhelm him disappeared with the appearance of the girl with pink makeup on the screen, just like the late autumn wind sweeping through the fallen leaves on the ginkgo tree garden.

The wet wipe in Li Linjie's hand slipped, and he looked at the girl on the screen infatuatedly. She was the owner of the secret garden that had been living in his heart all these years.

The events of 5 years ago seem like the next day, as if they happened yesterday. It’s just that there are only those happy and joyful times, and the storms of the past have become blurred in these years.

"Why is it you, Xiao Meng?"

Li Linjie's voice trembled, his mind went blank, and he could only ask this simplest sentence but the one that best expressed his true feelings at the moment.

The picture slowly became smoother from the constant frame skipping and lag, and Xiaomeng also saw Li Linjie in the picture.

"Lin Jie, long time no see. You have changed so much!"

Li Linjie stared at the girl on the screen. Her appearance was still as clear and charming as before, with almost no trace of the years. The person in the dream still looked like the one in the dream, if not for the video call at this moment. Li Linjie himself would not have

You will believe that after nearly 5 years, the attachment deep in your heart is still as deep as before.

It's just that the love that was as passionate as a flood at the beginning is now as calm as a trickle but still unstoppable.

"Lin Jie, are you still listening?"

Her voice was like the clear spring water in the mountains that woke Li Linjie up from his dream. Although he had not heard Xiao Meng's voice for many years, he was sure that this was the echo that often lingered in his dreams.

"Yes, the gravity here is small, and my face is a bit swollen and dark."

Xiao Meng in the picture listened carefully, and only showed an intoxicating smile on his face two or three seconds after Li Linjie finished speaking:

"That's not what I meant. You look much more energetic than before, and your whole person is completely different. If you stand in front of me, I won't even dare to recognize you."

The distance of 380,000 kilometers between the earth and the moon, coupled with network transmission delays, forced them to conduct conversations with two to three seconds between each conversation, but this did not affect their emotions at all.

"Haha, yes. A few months of training and a few years of work can indeed make a big difference in a person." Li Linjie smiled naively, and his thoughts were unconsciously brought back to the time when he participated in the volunteer recruitment.

when.

However, after these years of accumulation, he has built a high fence in his secret garden, so that those difficult past events can no longer disturb the trickling flow in his heart.

"I saw reports that you are doing great things on the moon. It's really amazing. I can't even imagine that it's my friends who are doing this." The little dreamer in the picture said at the end, her voice became smaller.

, with an expression of shame on his face.

Li Linjie just smiled faintly:

"It's nothing great. We do the same things as people on Earth. We just changed places."

The Xiaomeng in the picture didn’t know whether it was due to network delay or other reasons. His expression was a little stiff and he simply said:

"Hmm." word.

Li Linjie carefully looked at the face that had not been masked for a long time on the screen, and suddenly discovered something:

"Why did you cut off all your long hair? Weren't you the most reluctant to part with your long hair before?"

A look of panic flashed across Xiao Meng's face, and then she touched her shoulder-length hair. The two exquisite dimples returned to her face:

"Oh, life in this era is about simplicity. Long hair is hard to take care of, so I cut it off. What, doesn't it look good?"

Li Linjie looked at Xiao Meng on the screen and nodded slightly.

"I heard from your friend that you are in a very low mood because of the misfortune that happened to your companion. Why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you." Xiao Meng's slightly frowning face was filled with pure seriousness.

These gentle words made Li Linjie's heart tighten. The muscles in his calves spasmed slightly, and some goosebumps appeared on his arms for no reason. He closed his eyes and let out a painful sigh of relief. It took him a while to recover.

Slowly spit it out and said:

"How are you doing?"

"It's good. There are people like you working hard in the distance to protect us and keep us safe in the rear."

Talk app—

"What about your husband and children?" Li Linjie's words were calm and indifferent.

This question made Xiao Meng a little overwhelmed on the screen. The innocent smile on his face was replaced by panic and haste. It took a while before he could say "um!". Just when Xiao Meng was about to say something more, Li Linjie

But he spoke first.

"A person like me can't protect you anywhere, let alone others." Li Linjie began to become excited, and Xiao Meng on the screen was also a little overwhelmed.

"I couldn't take care of you before and let you get hurt. I have worked hard for so many years, thinking that I can protect others now, and I can prove to you that I am the person worth trusting! But I was wrong, I really

wrong"

"Don't say that, it's not like that." The delayed voices of the two people were mixed together and it was impossible to hear clearly.

"I can't take care of the teammates around me now. If I found those holes, he wouldn't be dead, but it's useless. I can't find them," Li Linjie cried with tears in his eyes.

"Don't be like this, Lin Jie. Calm down. The you I know is not like this." Xiao Meng was still comforting him gently, but Li Linjie's mood did not improve at all. He said to himself with tears in his eyes:

"I'm still like that. I'm scared to death when I think about the scene of the meteorites flying that day. I don't even have the courage to step out of the shadows." At this point, Li Linjie's stomach cramped, and he retched and almost vomited.

"That's enough! Stop talking!" On the screen, Xiao Meng stood with his eyebrows upside down and glared angrily. His cheeks were slightly deformed due to the twitching of his masseter muscles. This made Li Linjie calm down for a moment. He had never seen Xiao Meng be so fierce.

Look.

"Look at the difference between your current behavior and that night when you dragged my suitcase! Sir, if there is any hurdle that you can't overcome, who would like your cowardly look! You used to be afraid of taking care of me.

If you don't treat me well, you'll accomplish nothing. Now you're afraid that you won't be able to take care of other people, and the price you pay is the blood of other people on the earth! Do you understand?"

Xiao Meng's eyes flashed fiercely, as if he could feel her fiery anger through the screen. Li Linjie was swayed by Xiao Meng on the screen. He had been with Xiao Meng for so many years, and he had never seen her like this even at the end.

He was so furious that he could not control the bursts of tears and convulsions at will.

"To dwell on the shadows of the past all day long and not dare to face tomorrow is because I think so highly of you. You are really useless. There are so many people in your base, and none of them are risking their lives to work. Your dead teammates, are they?

Aren't you ready to sacrifice?"

Every word in Xiao Meng's words was deeply burned into Li Linjie's heart. Although it was extremely painful, it seemed to lift his burden.

"I" he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start. Xiaomeng's anger remained.

"If you can't take care of yourself, don't hurt others there. Don't waste precious air and resources on the moon, and get back to Earth as soon as possible!

pWaiting for the enemy in the sky to reach the ground and tear the people you care about into pieces in front of you. Then you will be unable to do anything but cry uselessly like you are now!

While you can still do something now, either do it bravely, or go back and wait to die, waiting for your relatives and loved ones to die miserably in a few years!" As she said this, a crystal teardrop ran across Xiao Meng's cheek.

, she immediately wiped away the tear stain with her palm.

"I'm sorry, Xiaomeng, thank you." After Xiaomeng's stormy roar, Li Linjie suddenly felt that his heart was so peaceful, and any trace of anxiety and cowardice was driven away by those steel-nail-like words.

trace.

"Don't thank me. There are people around you who care about you. Treat them well." Xiaomeng said the last sentence and hung up the video.

Li Linjie looked at the screen where Xiao Meng was no longer around, and took a deep breath. This seemed to be the first breath of fresh air he had breathed in the past two days, sweet and fragrant with earth. When he exhaled for a long time

After taking that breath, he felt his whole body relaxed. He boldly looked out the window at the base that was half covered by the huge shadow of the earth, feeling calm in his heart.

As soon as Li Linjie walked out of the infirmary door with his tablet computer, he ran into Ke Guohao. They almost bumped into each other. He handed the tablet computer to Ke Guohao and gave this old friend who had been with him day and night for five years a firm hug:

"Thank you, Guohao. Thank you!"

Ke Guohao smiled awkwardly and looked away:

p

"We are all good brothers, you're welcome, you're welcome."

"By the way, where is Wanqing? Is she in the clinic? I really want to thank you this time."

Ke Guohao subconsciously grabbed Li Linjie and said hesitantly:

"Wan Wanqing went to Yutu 2 to perform a mission and is not at the base."

Li Linjie nodded, but still looked at the door of the clinic.

"If you want to thank us, don't thank us verbally. Your quarterly vacation is the first to arrive. Just try to get us some hot pot when you come back."

Li Linjie nodded in agreement. At this moment, Ye Wanqing was sitting at the desk in the consultation room, sorting out her emotions that had not yet calmed down.

(The person in the video is Ye Wanqing, whose face was changed through a photo, but the person talking to Li Linjie is Ye Wanqing. This story was originally about Ye Wanqing staying behind to be Li Linjie’s guardian, and spending her whole life protecting her.

It was a foreshadowing of that button. But because the addition of this paragraph would slow down the rhythm of the whole story, it was not included. Now that it is released as an extra, it can be regarded as enriching the characters of Li Linjie and Ye Wanqing. They are inseparable in the end.

Method 1 has always been 1.)
