Annihilation of the solar system

After Li Linjie contacted the company, he learned that the company had been asked to suspend profitable operations and wait for distribution. He himself did not need to go to work for the time being.

There used to be hundreds of channels on TV, but now there are only three non-overlapping channels left. The content that has been broadcast on TV is related to the transitional policies, laws and measures in the crisis era.

He didn't want to let himself be idle, because once he was idle, the happy time he had lived with Xiao Meng in this small dwelling over the years would uncontrollably appear before his eyes.

When those fragments reappeared in his mind, the corners of his mouth would always raise slightly involuntarily, but at the end of each memory, there was always the nightmare-like decisive separation.

The more beautiful the past was, the more painful the present pain will be.

Li Linjie took a deep breath and controlled the emotions that were always easy to lose control these days. He didn't want to rely on alcohol anymore, not to mention that the current situation did not allow him to lie down.

As it is said on TV, no matter men, women, old or young, every resident of the earth should use their most determined beliefs, their most tenacious style, and do whatever it takes to protect their homeland.

He turned on the computer, and all the various game and entertainment advertisements that had been flying around on the desktop were gone. Even the search engine was as simple as a directory, and most of the information that could be found was related to the temporary transition period.

And he already had a rough idea of ​​the information content from the TV carousels.

Just when he was about to be at a loss and the whirlpool of memories was about to sweep him away again, a link to the official website of the Earth Defense Alliance popped up on his browser.

He clicked in curiously, and there was no more new content on the page. A large red button at the top of the page attracted his attention - "Volunteer Recruitment Registration Entrance".

EDA has been promoted a lot on TV before, calling on everyone to actively volunteer to fill in the information, so that EDA can more efficiently allocate personnel of various professional types to positions suitable for them.

He hesitated on that button for a while. In his impression, volunteers were nothing more than dedicating a little personal time and sweating in exchange for a record on their resume.

Being a volunteer once in college was almost a necessary experience. But now that I have reached the age of running around for life, I have no interest in volunteering anymore.

Then I thought about it, I had just been told that the company was closed, and there was not much balance left on the card. I didn’t know how to start my future life, so I just clicked in and took a look.

After entering the page, he hastily read a few lengthy volunteer registration instructions and started the registration process.

He patiently spent about ten minutes filling out a very detailed personal information registration form. The next page finally had content that interested him, a page for choosing a volunteer direction.

"The place you are willing to work is 1 where you currently live, 2 near where you currently live, 3 where you intend to go, 4 anywhere"

At first, he also thought about going back to his hometown to stay for a while, but that so-called home almost never made him feel a trace of warmth. When he was very young, his parents died unexpectedly on a construction site. He was fostered by his uncle.

, at his aunt's house, his uncle and aunt were pretty good to him in the beginning.

But as his parents' pension for casualties was depleted, so was his uncle and aunt's patience with him. This situation became more serious after the birth of his sister. When he graduated from high school and was admitted to an ordinary university, his uncle and aunt were determined not to do anything for him.

He paid the tuition. In the end, due to the criticism of the villagers in the town and the persuasion of the community cadres, he finally reluctantly paid the tuition and necessary living expenses in one lump sum. Since then, he has rarely returned home.

I spent four New Year's Eves alone in my university dormitory.

Thinking of this, Li Linjie felt a surge of anger in his heart. He looked around at the messy rental house that he had made. Just like that home, there was nothing worth remembering here. Then he went to option 4 "Anywhere"

"Tick the box next to ".

"The industry you are willing to work in 1 is the industry filled in your personal information, 2 is the industry you are interested in, 3 is any industry"

Li Linjie thought about how he, as a college student majoring in architecture, had changed five or six jobs in the past three or four years. He couldn't help but shook his head. He was very disappointed with himself.

As a graduate of architectural engineering, the most serious job related to architecture that he entered the society was in this architectural design company that temporarily exempted him from going to work.

And what he did was nothing more than marginal work such as adding some structural columns. He once held a diploma with great ambitions and vowed to start from the basics, and finally became a project leader who had no experience.

The knowledge in the book is also a bit unfamiliar. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little ups and downs in my heart. I hesitated for a moment and ticked the box behind "any industry".

After he checked "any industry", a new option popped up below:

"If you are going to be stationed in a new industry, the level of training you are willing to receive is 1 regular training, 2 in-depth training, and 3 specialized training."

Looking back on his work over the past few years, the income was barely enough to live on, not rich at all. After graduating from college, he went to work as an intern at a construction site. After working for several months, it was hard and tiring, and the salary was still very low. And the classmates who graduated with him were

Working in sales, my income is several times that of his, and my life is much more decent.

He changed his job to work in sales, but only after joining the industry did he realize that it is not easy to earn a high income in this industry. After working for half a year, his life did not improve much, so he changed his job and opened a snack bar in front of the university with a few friends.

As a result, I could barely pay the rent in a few months.

After bouncing back and forth between several jobs, he returned to his major and ended up in this design company. When he returned to his major, he discovered that his professional abilities had declined over the past few years.

many.

Thinking of this, it was his lack of professional ability that made him unable to live as he wished, and his meager income was the biggest reason why he couldn't take good care of Xiao Meng.

The ripples in his heart were stirred up again, and he gritted his teeth and ticked the box next to "professional training."

When he clicked the check mark, a dialog box popped up on the page.

"This option means that you may receive high-intensity training before going to work, and it is irrevocable! Have you considered it carefully?"

Li Linjie clicked yes without hesitation.

"The nature of the work you are willing to put in: 1. Logistics, 2. Second-line, 3. First-line, 4. Obey the deployment."

He hovered the mouse between the second line and the obedient deployment for a while, without making up his mind. While hesitating, he felt a little thirsty, so he got up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. The kitchen was also in a mess, and he couldn't find the answer for a while.

Container for water.

After searching around, only the thermos cup on the top of the refrigerator was usable. It was given to him by Xiaomeng when he went to the construction site for internship after graduating from college.

He still clearly remembered that when Xiaomeng handed him the cup, her eyes flashed with infinite care and said that working on the front line was very hard and she needed to drink more water. Thinking of this, his heart felt cramped again.

He returned to the computer and already had an idea, so he resolutely checked behind the line. After clicking, the warning dialog box with the same content as the previous option appeared again, and he decisively clicked "Yes".

The last option is displayed in red bold font, and the particularly eye-catching content is

"The work environment you are willing to be assigned to: 1 normal risk, 2 medium risk, 3 subject to deployment"

He subconsciously felt that this option would be more important than the previous options. Although the third option said "submit to deployment" in a very neutral way, he knew in his heart that obeying deployment meant that it would have a higher value than the first two options.

risk.

If it had been a few months ago, he would have definitely chosen the first option. Because his childhood and youth were dependent on others, he developed a timid and reserved character. Growing up, he was unwilling and did not have the capital to take risks.

.

He may have done two of the most outrageous things in his life. The first one was that on the night of Xiao Meng's birthday when he was in college, he lit a heart-shaped candle downstairs in the girls' dormitory and confessed his love to Xiao Meng.

The second thing was to take out the savings he and Xiaomeng had saved, and borrow some money from a friend to open a snack bar. The ticking of raindrops outside the window was already more obvious, and the rain was getting heavier. As he hesitated, he recalled

The whirlpool pulled him back again.

It was raining like this when Xiao Meng was packing her things to leave. He tried his best to stop Xiao Meng from stuffing things into the suitcase and begged her to stay.

When he was surprised to find that most of the clothes in the closet that were originally full had been taken away, and there were very few things left. Only then did he understand his girlfriend's determination. He desperately grabbed the box and hugged it tightly. Xiao Meng and him

After a few rounds of arguing, things calmed down.

Xiao Menggeng said in a choked voice:

"We can't do this, and we won't get better if we continue like this. After what happened some time ago, don't you understand? If we don't work hard and are unwilling to take risks, if we continue like this, we will only drift slowly in the swamp of society.

It sinks and eventually turns into mud residue. I don’t want this! I want to see this beautiful world! Is this wrong?”

Every word Xiao Meng said was like a nail nailing his soul and body to the sofa, making him unable to move. He could only watch Xiao Meng leave desperately.

A line of tears flowed from the corners of Li Linjie's eyes. He quickly raised his hand to stop the tears from flowing down his cheeks, and at the same time, he checked the third option "Obey the arrangements."

"Your choice will have a significant impact on your volunteer recruitment allocation and is irrevocable. Are you sure you want to make this choice?"

He clicked 'yes'

"Your choice will have a significant impact on your volunteer recruitment allocation and is irrevocable. Are you sure you want to make this choice?"

He clicked 'Yes'

"Your choice will have a significant impact on your volunteer recruitment allocation and is irrevocable. Are you sure you want to make this choice?"

He clicked 'Yes'

It took him less than 3 seconds to confirm all three warning dialog boxes that popped up. After that, he was relieved. He leaned back in his chair and stretched out. He suddenly found that what he had just done made his originally depressed spirit seem to be restored.

exported.

However, before he could rest, the second page automatically popped up. It contained many test questions, which looked like both a psychological test and an IQ test.

Although he was already a little tired, he still finished the question patiently. When he submitted the answer, the expected conclusion did not appear, but only a line of words appeared on the page:

"Thank you for everything you have done for the survival of mankind!"

After doing all this, Li Linjie was really tired and hungry, and his hands and feet were a little cold.

After eating instant noodles, his body became warmer, and he was about to lie down on the sofa and take a nap. Just when he was sleepy, his mobile phone received a message:

"Hello, Mr. Li Linjie! Thank you for your positive response to the voluntary recruitment. You are using practical actions to defend the right of human survival.
