The Earth After That

Chapter 2: John and his friends

"Happy, you ask your father to let us go with you." Luna just held the glass and spoke.

John tried to smile wryly, he didn't have this ability. The number of people to see was limited, and John's father couldn't let them in. John shook his head, apologizing etically. He said:

"No, my dad doesn't have that ability."

"Difficult? You go live." Hannah said.

Jack turned to knock on Hannah's head, his face disdainful.

"Crazy, the government broadcasts live. I want to see it with my own eyes."

Hannah responded to him, she hit Jack on the head. Provocative eyes.

"You can't get in if you don't hear it? Who do you say there?"

Luna and John shook their heads helplessly. Hannah and Jack often quarrel, and John and Luna look familiar. But it was too noisy, John didn't like it. He put a hand on his forehead and said:

"Seth, take them out."

[Accepted orders, throw Luna and Jack out.]

"Hey, do you want to die?" Jack shouted.

"You're not supposed to treat women like that! Oh, you son of a bitch."

Leaving the unfinished business behind, Seth grabbed Hannah and Jack by the armpits with both hands. The wheels under Seth's feet rolled, and soon the two of them were thrown outside. Coincidentally, they were thrown into a landfill that Seth had not yet cleaned up.

Both of them hugged their butts, their faces red with anger. The door slammed shut, and Hannah angrily kicked in the door. Unable to do anything else, Hannah raised her foot to kick Jack's body.

"Ya da, you've bullied me a lot," Jack screamed in pain.

Behind the door, John and Luna came, and they laughed. Regardless of the other two's angry expressions. John pressed the remote in his hand, the supercar flew from the parking lot. The red luxury car is the right size for four people.

"Stop shouting and get in the car, I'll leave you guys behind." John took his hand, and Luna followed.

Jack and Hannah agreed, both of them sitting on the pile of garbage that didn't come down. They made pitiful faces, and John could only sigh helplessly. At this time, Luna released the siege, saying:

"Okay, aren't you hungry?"

"Not hungry." Hannah and Jack in unison.

"Seth, you suck up the smell of trash from them, then throw them in the car," John said impatiently.

Because tomorrow he still has to wake up early to speak before the spaceship is launched into space. So tonight he has to go home early and write his presentation. Tomorrow the whole Continent will watch the government live TV channel together. At that time, John will be everywhere, he will become the pride of his parents.

Fifteen-year-old boy, oh so wonderful!

Up to now, some people who are hundreds of years old can't do that. And John, a boy with the brains of a genius, can do it.

[Accepted command, smoked garbage, threw in the car.] Seth repeated. He quickly carried out the order. Interspersed with that action were the curses of Hannah and Jack. But no one cares about them? Is that right?

Because Luna and John got into the car and sat in the front row. Hannah and Jack were thrown into the backseat. Without waiting for them to sit properly, John flipped the switch. The car flew on the transparent road because the road below had long been contested.

"Hey, if in the 21st century there's an object that fills the sky, they'd call it a bird." Luna crossed her arms and said.

Jack rubbed his arm, pouting teasingly:

"So if flying like this is a bird, then you're a stupid bird."

Luna glanced at him, her head going to smoke.

The four of them moved to a luxury restaurant in the city center. There was food everywhere, with four people choosing the menu on the touch table. Less than a minute, the service robot arrived. The food was quickly arranged on the table. Before leaving, the service robot did not forget to wish them a good meal.

The four people talked while eating, they talked about the spaceship carrying the message of humanity. It carried a film about the Earth and nearly two hundred different languages. All gave a very goodwill welcome to the vast universe, they very much hoped that someone would respond.

The spacecraft carries a noble mission, it is expected to fly around the galaxy in a year. At that time, the question "Is man alone in the vast universe?" will be answered.

The meal ended and John returned. The other three also skated home by themselves. He sat at the table and started writing his report. Clichés and flowery words made him sick. But the people out there like to hear such words.

John lazily lies on the bed, turning on the massage mode. He enjoys it comfortably.

"Seth, can you get me some cake, fruit, and water in here?" John taps his feet, pulls out his antique 21st-century cell phone, and looks at it.

Seth repeated the familiar phrase, then he opened the door to bring in his belongings. John called Seth over, thought for a moment, and John said:

"You print me a report. Listen carefully."

[Listen, will print the report shortly.] Seth is ready to speak.

…

"Done, you print it out and put it on the table for me. Good night." John finished the work, now tired, and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow the Hope01 spacecraft will be launched into outer space. John's parents are extremely busy right now. They are one of the key people in this plan. John was also used to being alone at home. He sees Seth as a friend, sometimes even imagining Seth has a soul.

At 5:00 a.m., Seth knocked on the door to wake John up. But he seemed to have woken up before Seth entered. He wears an elegant suit, leather shoes on his feet, and his hair is pulled up to look very handsome. Seth analyzed the data, looked at the master in front of him, and clapped his hands.

[Beautiful, very beautiful.] Seth said.

John smiled and turned to look at himself in the mirror. He ran his hand through his hair, looked at Seth, and said:

"Handsome. Then when I come back, I'll show you how to do this hairstyle."

[Copy that.]

"You stay at home, turn on the TV, you'll see me on it in a moment."

[Order received, turn on the TV.]
