Chapter 6
Jiang Ye: [System, can a nuclear bomb be used to blow up the meteorite?]
Back then, the dinosaurs had no means of dealing with it, but modern human civilization was different.
Even if humanity had suddenly disappeared, the nuclear bombs should still be around. He wouldn't have to make any himself; he only needed to learn how to launch the existing ones.
System: [First, with your civilization's current nuclear launch capabilities, the meteorite cannot be destroyed at long range.]
[And if it is destroyed at close range, the falling fragments will likewise trigger a mass extinction.]
[One more thing: according to my calculations, given the meteorite's hardness, even if the host used every nuclear bomb currently available, it would probably only blow off a small portion.]
After hearing the system's analysis, Jiang Ye walked more and more slowly.
At the same time, he still hadn't seen a single person despite walking for so long.
It only gave him more reason to believe his suspicion.
Namely, that no matter what had happened, at least for now, all of humanity had disappeared at the same time.
Even so, he still didn't dare be one hundred percent certain. After all, it was simply too inconceivable.
Jiang Ye continued to ponder. Could it be that the world's leaders had learned about the meteorite impact in advance but hadn't announced it for fear of causing panic? Then, just yesterday, all of humanity had boarded spaceships and fled overnight.
Was I the one they forgot?
It's possible!
In that case, there should be other people in this world who were forgotten just like me!
Great. You all ran off, and I was left here to get hit by a meteorite.
But Jiang Ye then shook his head. The conjecture in his mind was logically possible, but the details didn't hold up.
At the very least, everyone had still been fine yesterday!
He really had only slept for one night, and with only a single night, it was impossible.
Forget it. No matter what, the situation now is that everyone has run off, and I'm the only one left.
So I need to find a way to survive.
[I didn't expect everyone to be so supportive and helpful, so here's a chapter for you.]
Chapter 6: The Other Contestants Wake Up (Begging for Flowers, Evaluation Tickets, and Monthly Tickets)
While Jiang Ye was standing there deep in thought, somewhat to everyone's surprise,
the contestants from the other countries in the five other feeds of the international livestream also woke up one after another.
As a result, most people immediately shifted their attention away from Jiang Ye to watch how their own country's contestant performed.
The five contestants who had just woken up behaved much like Jiang Ye at first.
After getting out of bed, they each prepared breakfast in their own way, then went outside under the program's deliberate arrangement and guidance.
Meanwhile, to provide a comparison, the production team had made the same initial arrangements for everyone.
Outside their homes, they encountered the same thing Jiang Ye had.
The scene of an accident where a car had crashed into a house.
Meanwhile.
Dragon Country's netizens immediately began giving as good as they got, going on the offensive.
"Oh, wow, your Sam Empire contestant is even more impressive. He just kicked the door open. His way of opening doors beats our Jiang Ye's. I take my hat off to him!"
"Fuck you, this is heroic behavior. If someone inside was in danger, our Charles could help them immediately."
"Bull fucking shit, you double-standard dogs!"
"Well, look at that. This Great Eagle Country contestant called Laskin is even better. He just drove the car away."
When Great Eagle contestant Laskin drove the car away without even looking, quite a few Great Eagle viewers immediately turned red and pale in turns, furious.
"Fuck, you, has he never seen money before? Why was he chosen? I'm going to protest, we need to march."
Dragon Country's netizens happily continued commenting: "This is very much in keeping with your Great Eagle Country's historical and cultural traditions. Wasn't this exactly what you did when you came to our home before? A lot of our things are still in your Great Eagle Museum even now!"
"This guy called Gibran actually started stealing after he went into the house. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
"Sure enough, Fran Country and Great Eagle Country are cut from the same piss-stained cloth. Wasn't it the soldiers of those two countries who joined forces to do what they did to the Old Summer Palace back then?"
After Dragon Country's viewers brought up this piece of history,
netizens from the other countries exclaimed in surprise. Something like that had actually happened.
Normally, people rarely paid attention to a particular event in another country's history.
Even when it involved their own country, only a small number paid attention, let alone when it didn't involve them.
As a result, the matter also sparked heated discussions on Twitter among netizens from more than a dozen countries.
As for what they discussed, it was naturally the character of the people of Fran Country and Great Eagle Country...
The two contestants from Stick Country and Neon Country, Amaiwa Yusuke and Jin Zheyong, on the other hand, did much the same as Jiang Ye: they knocked, entered the house, called the police, and so on.
That made the netizens of Stick Country and Neon Country breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness they didn't embarrass us!
Elsewhere.
[System, tell me, what should I do?]
Since the system had appeared, Jiang Ye naturally turned to it for help.
[This system will assist the host in building a spaceship.]
[Before the meteorite arrives, build a spaceship as quickly as possible and thereby escape this planet.]
Jiang Ye's expression turned a little strange. [Help me build a spaceship?]
[Yes!]
[Is there enough time!?]
[That depends on the host's ability to carry it out. According to this system's calculations, it should be possible to build a spaceship and escape this planet before the meteorite strikes.]
