At 8:30 am, in a ramen restaurant on the roadside of Yutai County, the only customer was consuming beef cut noodles.

The 36-inch TV hanging on the wall of the noodle restaurant is broadcasting the morning entertainment news in the entertainment channel of the Huaxia National Television Station. A beautiful face and a household name is a household name, and the female announcer, with a professional smile, said: "In recent years, various end-of-day theme film and television dramas have been popular, attracting widespread attention, and forming a very influential end-of-day subculture. So how do all sectors of society view the end-of-day? For this reason, our reporter conducted a random interview." The TV screen immediately switched from the studio to the bustling streets of the capital. A beautiful female reporter about twenty-five or six years old, wearing a skilled professional attire appeared in the middle of the picture with a wireless microphone in hand. The background of the picture is a street with endless flow of pedestrians and vehicles.

The female reporter said to the camera: "I am Li Yan, a reporter from CNTV Entertainment Channel. The doomsday is an extremely special and interesting topic. I have never reported similar topics since I worked. I am very curious about what kind of response people will respond to this topic. Let's explore it with our camera." Hearing the female reporter's voice, the diner raised his head and thought to himself: "This beautiful reporter is still so smart and capable."

As the picture turned, an elderly woman carrying a shopping bag filled with green onions, water celery and other vegetables appeared in the picture.

(There is a line of annotations at the bottom of the TV screen: Aunt Li, 72 years old.)

The female reporter asked: "Auntie, do you believe that the end of the world will come?"

Aunt Li said with a decisive look: "Don't believe it!"

The female reporter asked: "Can you tell me why?"

Aunt Li said: "Now that technology is so developed, material is so rich, capable people are so many, and the government is so powerful. What problem can't be solved?"

(A post titled "Secretly happy when you have nothing to do" appeared in the audience interaction at the bottom of the TV screen: "I am worthy of being an aunt in Beijing, with high political awareness and strong ideological quality!")

The picture turned again, and a man wearing glasses and looking like an intellectual appeared in front of the camera.

(The annotation text at the bottom of the TV screen shows: Zhao, 30 years old, a doctoral student in the Department of Philosophy of Jingcheng University.)

The female reporter asked: "Do you believe that the end of the world will come?"

Student Zhao asked in a disdainful tone: "Do you still need to ask this question? Have you not seen it? The world is full of problems and crises, nuclear threats, energy shortages, plagues, military conflicts, network viruses, terrorist attacks, financial crises, real estate bubbles, electromagnetic radiation, and continuous natural disasters. The signs of the doomsday are everywhere and there are always. We are already at the doomsday, and the doomsday has arrived."

(A post from an audience member named "@You're Not Negotiable" appeared in the audience interaction: "What? The end of the world has come? You scared the baby to death!")

The picture turned again, and a girl wearing a princess dress with a beautiful face and a cute expression appeared.

(The annotation text shows: Xiao Zhu, 17 years old, high school student.)

Before Xiao Zhu could speak, she blinked her big eyes a few times and said, "It's the end of the world? It's the end of the world. I hope the end of the world will come soon."

The female reporter asked: "Why do you hope the end of the world will come soon?"

Xiao Zhu said: "Because after the end of the world, I don't have to go to school or take the college entrance examination anymore. I can also wear my favorite dark costume, then go out to fight monsters, and travel around the world."

(The user "I am Superman" posted: "Little luoli, you have eaten too much hormones and your brain is funny.")

The TV image turned to a man riding a motorcycle, wearing a helmet, unable to see his face and carrying a backpack.

(Annotation text: Mr. Zhang, 35 years old, special industry.)

The man riding a bicycle lowered his voice and said, "I am looking forward to the end of the world."

The female reporter asked: "Why are you looking forward to the end of the world?"

The man riding a bicycle said: "If we do our business, I hope the less regulation is as good as possible. If the end of the world comes, we can go wherever we want and do whatever we want. That's really a word - sour!"

(The user "I am Superman" then posted: "Brother, you are not a business without money, right?" Another user "I am Superman" responded: "I may also be a 'motor'...")

The picture turned to a middle-aged man wearing a snakeskin bag, wearing a simple dress, and looking like a migrant worker.

(Annotation text: Mr. Niu, a migrant worker.)

Mr. Niu said: "What's the problem? The end of the world? I just came to the capital to find a job to earn money to support my family, why is the end of the world?"

The female reporter explained: "I am not saying that the end of the world is coming, but asking if you believe it or not?"

Mr. Niu said without hesitation: "I don't believe it, and I won't believe it even if I beat it to death."

The female reporter asked, "Why don't you believe it?"

Mr. Niu replied: "Home is in the world, and as long as I still have a home, I will never let the end of the world come!"

(The user posted a post with a cigarette after meals: "Brother, you are real!")

The picture turned to a convertible luxury car. There was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, gold and silver, and a rich man, and a beautiful girl with a student-like appearance in the driver's seat.

(The annotation text is: Mr. Zhang, forty years old, the boss of a private enterprise; Ms. Song, twenty years old, intern.)

Boss Zhang showed a big mouth and said with a smile: "It's a good end of the world."

The female reporter asked: "Why?"

Boss Zhang: "When the end of the world comes, I can expand my business, recruit more employees, and organize more Xiaomi...ah...Little secretary."

Ms. Song: "I have no objection, Boss Zhang's opinion is mine."

(The user "Little Cute Baby" posted: "I like such a little secretary...")

The picture turns to a man in tight sportswear, tall, muscular and wearing sunglasses.

(Annotation text: Mr. Yu, fitness and fighting coach.)

Mr. Yu said: "If your health and vitality are there, your world will be beautiful; on the contrary, if you lose health and vitality, it is equivalent to the end of the world. Therefore, if you want to stay away from the end of the world, welcome everyone to my gym. This is my business card..."

(User "I am Superman" said: "Brother, have you paid for advertising?")

The picture was then switched to a middle-aged man with a melancholy look.

(Annotation text: Mr. Xu, a white-collar worker in the company.)

Mr. Xu said weakly: "I don't know how others are. Anyway, for me, I was very optimistic and would never believe in the end of the world. However, since I got married to my wife, I have gradually changed. Now, I have to say: the end of the world is like a fly around you all day long, and even if the world is destroyed, I can't get rid of it."

(The user posted a post with a cigarette after meals: "Similar feelings + sympathy, they are really the same people in the world." There are a lot of posts that express support afterwards.)

The picture turned to a tall sexy girl.

(The annotation text is: Ms. Fan, a fashion creative worker.)

Miss Fan gently combed her bangs with her fingers and said, "I don't believe it, nor do I want the end of the world to come; but if the end of the world really comes, I believe I will live a good life."

(The user "I am Superman" posted again and said: Yes, such a beauties are a good vase in any era, and there is no need to worry about no one raising them." Another user said: "Believe it or not, I am a beauty": "Please do you want to be a beauties, don't be prejudiced against beauties, okay, who says that beauties must make vases? I am a beauty, I am not a vase." Another user said: "Beauty, don't know if you are a vase, but your typing speed is amazing!" Another user said: "You are old-fashioned, they are voice input, do you understand?")

The street interviews of female reporters continued, and all kinds of people appeared one after another. Finally, the female reporter concluded: "We randomly conducted a survey of 30 people from different industries, and the results are as follows: 18 people who believe and even look forward to the arrival of the end of the world, accounting for 60%, and 12 people who don't believe in the arrival of the end of the world, accounting for 40%. This result was a bit unexpected. I didn't expect that there were so many people who believed that the end of the world would come - but it should be noted that our survey is not a serious poll, and the sampling method is not standardized enough. Therefore, the above survey results can only be used as an entertainment topic for your reference."

(Author’s note: From the perspective of social surveys, the sampling method of female journalists’ street interviews is a coincidence sampling, not a strict “random” sampling.)

The female reporter continued: "Since there are so many people who believe that the end of the world will come, let's continue to ask, if the end of the world really comes, how will they deal with it?"

The picture turned to Zhao, a PhD student in the Department of Philosophy at Jingcheng University. Zhao pushed his glasses and said, "Only by constantly strengthening our learning and improving our wisdom level can we better deal with the end of the world. I suggest that each of us should read Kant, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger..." Zhao said a lot of names of Western philosophers in one breath. The female reporter asked, "Don't we need to read Chinese thinkers?" Zhao said disdainfully: "Don't mention Chinese thinkers to me. Are there any Chinese thinkers?"

(A user named "I am Superman" posted: "You must call it Greece, it is indeed produced by Beijing University.")

The picture turned to high school student Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu made a cute goldfish-mouthed expression and said, "If the end of the world really comes, I will learn and master lightning magic. Fight monsters, protect myself and electricians, and do not miss it. I think about it and feel very fun, and I feel a little excited."

("My wife is a fat woman" commented: "I was a little excited to see this little luoli's cute look." Another user "Zhang San Li Si" said: "Big breasts are big and brainless, and you can be cute and use them to be cute!")

The picture turned to the motorcycle rider Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang said: "I must first modify a motorcycle with excellent performance, diverse functions and fast speeds. One car is in hand, and I have it all in the world!"

(The user "Flash" posted: "What's the point of modifying motorcycles? If I do, I'll get a main battle tank or an aircraft carrier." Another user, "all fellow villagers" said: "Just blow up the ones upstairs, be careful to flash your tongue.")

The picture turned to the luxury car boss Zhang, who said: "You must build your own private guard to be well-known and look good in the end of the world. To build this team, you have to have money, supplies, someone, and you have to be brave enough and have a bad mind."

(The user "community neighborhood committee" said: "Is this boss Zhang a gangster?" Another user "is not upset when he says he is not upset" said: "Shh, whisper, be careful to lose in the middle of the night.")

Ms. Song, who was in the same car as Boss Zhang, said in a sweet voice: "The end of the world must be so terrible. The first thing I have to do is find a strong man to protect myself." After that, she looked at Boss Zhang in a coquettish manner. Boss Zhang immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I will protect you. I am the strong man!"

(The user "I am Superman" posted: "Being rich means being arrogant.")

The picture was transferred to the melancholy Mr. Xu. A hint of spirit flashed on his face and said, "The most important thing in the end of the world is to make men be the masters of their own affairs."

(The user "My wife is a fat woman" said: "Men are the masters of their own affairs, and I agree with it; but, what does this have to do with the end of the world?")

The picture was transferred to the sexy girl Miss Fan. Miss Fan said: "The end of the world sounds terrible, but as long as you have enough strength and good creativity, it may not become a chance in life."

(User "Believe it or not, I am a beauty" said: "Oh! Beauties should be self-reliant, what is the end of the world!" The user "Wife is a fat woman" said: "You are too naive in the real beauty on TV and the imitation beauties on the floor! The end of the world is really coming, and the streets may be full of vicious and timid criminals. You may be so fucked up with the best quality like you." The user "Community Neighborhood Committee" said: "Beauties can ask Boss Zhang to protect, but you should be worried about yourself." "I am Superman" said: "It's indeed an entertainment program, and no one has given a truly practical end of the world strategy."

Come, because everyone has ignored the most basic problem - in the end of the world, it is very likely that water supply, power supply, communication, and transportation will have serious problems, and social order is very likely to be out of control, civilization will regress or lose, and even basic survival needs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation and basic life safety cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the first priority of survival in the end of the world is to store food, clean water, medicines, fuel and necessary weapons and equipment, and build a safe base for hiding. On the premise of ensuring your own safety, you will seek cooperation with others and rebuild social civilization. And you must also be prepared to face various problems and threats.")

As the program progressed, various strange answers appeared one after another. Finally, the female reporter on the TV summarized the interview: "Although people have different attitudes and positions on the apocalypse, it is safe to say: this is a topic worth long-term thinking and discussion. Although from a scientific perspective, this question is a pseudo-question, the exploration of this question can always give us warnings and inspiration. CNTV reporter Li Yan reported."

At this time, the customer who was originally consuming noodle restaurant who was busy eating noodles stood up. This person was Lin Zaishan. He called out to the noodle restaurant: "Boss, check out!" A short middle-aged man walked out of the inner room and said, "Nine yuan." Lin Zaishan took out a twenty-yuan bill and handed it to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man went into the inner room to find change.

At this time, the TV screen returned to the studio, and the female announcer said: "After watching this slightly special and gray report on the doomsday, let's take a look at a happier and brighter news: Xu Yuxin, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the southwest provinces, has an IQ of 180, and is only 19 years old, with 20 patents, she claimed on Weibo that she would be committed to the research of human souls. This declaration caused an uproar. Some critics pointed out that Xu Yuxin's research spirit and creativity deserve recognition, but choosing the soul as the main direction is a fundamental mistake, because the soul problem is more a metaphysical problem than a scientific problem. ... The famous youth group TG-boys will hold a concert in the music park tomorrow, and the tickets have been sold out. Enthusiastic fans have gathered around the park one day in advance. ...

Suddenly, the female announcer raised her hand and held the headphones, her face changed drastically, as if she had received some incredible information. She randomly resumed the broadcast:

"The following is a piece of emergency news that our station just received: According to the American Ann TV station, the US President issued a statement at 8:30 am today in Beijing time, declaring the United States to enter a state of emergency."

Lin Zaishan, who had been burying his head in the previous program, immediately turned his attention to the TV screen. The screen appeared on the screen of the US President "kicking Ma Po". He looked serious and said word by word, as if facing a great enemy (of course, in Mi/English):

"Dear American people, I will announce an important statement as the President of the United States. I hereby emphasize that this is not an entertainment program, not an exercise! Two hours ago, our space monitoring department discovered a sudden meteorite cluster near Saturn. The meteorite cluster contains at least 300 meteorites with a diameter of more than one kilometer. It is flying towards the earth at a trajectory and speed that our current science cannot explain, and will arrive at the earth in 24 hours. We are currently mobilizing all available forces to deal with this threat. We cannot rule out that giant meteorites will break into the atmosphere and have a super explosion. The United States is one of the most likely areas for meteorite clusters to break into.

.This is the biggest external threat since the founding of the United States and the biggest threat faced by the entire human race in history. I declare that the United States will immediately enter the highest level of emergency indefinitely until the threat is eliminated. Please prepare food, water and medicine, stay at home, and wait for rescue. If possible, please try to find a strong basement, air defense buildings and cave hiding. Please believe that we are mobilizing all resources and strength to deal with this unprecedented threat. I also believe that the strong, brave and wise American people can face danger and overcome difficulties under threat! May God be with the United States, may God be with the United States, and God bless the United States!"

After watching this show, Lin Zaishan was shocked. He stared at the TV screen, his left hand covered his open mouth and stood motionless. The boss walked out of the inside and handed the change to Lin Zaishan. Lin Zaishan had no response. The boss directly took the money into his right hand, turned around and went into the house.

At this time, the TV screen returned to the studio, and the female announcer continued to broadcast: "After the United States declared a state of emergency, the heads of eagle, Japan and Xiong also declared the state of emergency one after another." The screen switched to the above-mentioned scene where the heads of state issued a statement. Suddenly, the screen returned to the studio again, and the announcer said in an extremely solemn tone: "The emergency broadcast is carried out below, and the President of China is about to issue an important statement."

President Huaxia appeared in the picture, and he said heavily and resolutely: "I solemnly issued the following statement as the highest head of China: a meteorite group suddenly appeared in the solar system and headed straight to the earth at an incredible speed and trajectory, and is expected to arrive at the earth in 24 hours. This meteorite group contains at least 300 meteorites that can pose a major threat to the earth. The country is mobilizing all resources and forces to deal with this threat, but it cannot be ruled out that the meteorites break into the atmosphere and cause super explosions and other derivative disasters. In order to safeguard the general public

I declare that China has joined the highest-level state of emergency. All cadres, military systems and state staff must stick to their posts and not leave their posts without authorization. Maintaining the lives and safety of the general public as the primary and central task, and perform their mission strictly in accordance with the orders of superiors. Please believe in the country, do not panic, seize the time to stockpile food, clean water and other daily necessities, and try all possible to hide in buildings and spaces with strong structures, and wait for rescue. Dear fellow citizens, this is an unprecedented critical moment. Let us unite and work together! Long live China!"

This is not an entertainment program, not a science fiction, not a spoof, not an exercise, this is a fact! The end of the world is really coming.

Lin Zaishan took a deep breath and thought: "For the sake of maintaining stability and other aspects, countries rarely publicly declare the real threats faced by their countries. This time, major countries in the world have issued solemnly urgent statements, which shows that this threat is absolutely serious beyond the extent that countries can cope with and conceal - in other words, the earth may really be about to perish, and all cover has become unnecessary. There is only an emergency mobilization to minimize threats and losses. The direct source of the threat is 300 large meteorites. Can the current technological power intercept these meteorites in the middle, explode or at least lead to deviations? The statement mentioned the speed and trajectory of "unbelievable" and "unexplainable". It seems that this meteorite group is absolutely

‘Unormal’! All countries say they are mobilizing all resources and forces to deal with it. Assuming that all countries have done their best and eliminated some meteorites, how many large meteorites will be left? They don’t know the inside story and are not experts in related fields. They really have no way to estimate the probability of meteorites entering the atmosphere. The famous Tungus explosion was caused by a meteorite, which destroyed thousands of kilometers of jungle vegetation; and it is said that the demise of dinosaurs was also caused by meteorite explosions.

Human survival ability is not comparable to dinosaurs with large size and clumsy intelligence, but it may not necessarily be able to explode a few more meteorites than dinosaurs. Human survival not only depends on their own species abilities, but also is subject to the earth's ecosystem. The current earth's ecosystem may not be more stable and robust than the Cretaceous period. Not to mention 300, even ten or eight meteorite explosions are enough to destroy the earth's ecology and even humans. I should be more than the only one who holds this judgment."
