Chapter 409: Triumphant Return! With the players in celebration (Long Chapter)
Chapter 409 Triumphant Return! With the players in the celebration (Long Chapter)
”My dear friend, do you know how much I miss you? Although the burning red cloud has submerged your body, your voice, appearance and smile still remain in my mind…”
”Survivor Daily” newspaper office.
Hal moved a small stool and sat by the window, holding a half-empty bottle in his hand, burping while reciting poems with difficult grammar.
Usually no one pays attention to him.
In the eyes of most employees of the newspaper, this guy just wants to find an excuse to drink during the day. And there is no benefit in flattering him, but he will be dragged to talk all day, resulting in failure to complete today’s task in the end.
”Your lover died?”
”Lover? Hiccup, superficial! This is written to my best friend–” Hal hiccuped, and just halfway through his drunken words, he was suddenly stunned.
There was a person standing at the door of the newspaper office.
He was carrying a backpack on his back, and next to the backpack was an assault rifle, exactly the same as when he left here more than a week ago, with no visible injuries on his body.
Hal was stunned.
Not only him, but all the employees in the newspaper office were stunned, and stopped turning pages and pens.
The whole newspaper office fell silent.
”Fang, Director Fang!”
Hal stood up from the bench excitedly, put the bottle on the wooden windowsill, and walked quickly to the door of the office.
Looking at the tearful expression, Director Fang couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
”This can’t be written to-”
”It’s written to you! The spirit of the sea of sand! When I saw the tragic battle report, I, I thought you had died!” Grabbing his shoulders with both hands, Hal shook him hard, his voice excited and incoherent, “Great, you’re still here!”
Director Fang coughed lightly.
”Thank you for caring about me so much…”
It was just that this emotion was a little too abundant.
About four days ago, he did die on the Iron Heart, but 72 hours later, he woke up in a single room on the B2 floor of Shelter No. 404.
After waking up, Fang Chang did not stop at all. He only took some simple luggage and immediately set out for Boulder City. It
usually takes two days for a caravan.
But because he was alone and agile, he only took one day and one night to get to the towering wall.
But this journey was also very hard.
After the summer, the aliens in the city began to become active again.
In the corner of the office, the new reporter looked at the two people who were almost hugging each other with surprise, turned her head and whispered to her colleague.
”Who is that person?”
”Director Fang, a friend of the president, a resident of a nearby shelter, is from the alliance in the northern suburbs.”
”A member of the alliance?! Doesn’t that mean he is…” ”
Yes, he received a mobilization order more than a week ago, and then returned to the northern suburbs to join the war. And I heard that he is not only a member of the alliance, but also a member of the Burning Legion…” In
the entire Boulder City, no one does not know the name of the Burning Legion, and no one does not know the story about them.
Listening to the colleague next to her, the reporter opened her eyes wide and stared at Fang Chang who was standing at the door in disbelief.
Suddenly, she stood up with a bang, grabbed her notebook and hurried to the door. Looking at the hero who was trying to get rid of the president’s entanglement, she said excitedly.
”Well, um… hello!”
Fang Chang looked at her. It was a strange face he had never seen before, and said in confusion.
”Hello, who are you?”
”My name is Rose, I’m a reporter for the Survivor Daily, I just started yesterday!” The reporter shook his hand and continued excitedly, “Excuse me, are you a soldier of the Burning Legion?”
”Yes…”
”Did you participate in the airborne operation that day?”
Looking at Rose who kept approaching, Fang Chang subconsciously dodged backwards.
”Well…”
Hal took a breath of cold air, looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and held his hands on his shoulders more tightly.
”Spirit of the Sand Sea, you, you survived!”
And there is no injury on your body? !
Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Fang Chang coughed lightly, slightly moved his eyes away, and continued.
”…Ah, that day was so tragic, fortunately the goddess of luck was on my side. Don’t look at me as if nothing happened, in fact, I was injured quite badly.”
As he said, Fang Chang looked at the two hands on his shoulders.
Seeing his gaze, Hal quickly took his hands away and said apologetically.
”I don’t know you…”
”It’s okay.”
Looking at Fang Chang standing at the door, Hal said with emotion.
”At that time, I heard that only one person from the Burning Legion survived, which scared me… Sorry, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to say this.”
After all, those who died were his comrades.
”It’s okay…” Fang Chang continued vaguely, “I don’t want to talk about this now… Understand.”
Hal nodded and didn’t continue to ask about this heavy topic.
Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
The “Player’s Handbook” mentioned that in order to avoid errors in the NPC’s AI algorithm, players must not “take the initiative to discuss off-site matters with NPCs” before the official public beta begins.
Off-site matters include the other world, including the resurrection mechanism of the shelter, etc.
Unlike other rules, the penalty criteria for this rule are very vague, but the punishment is very heavy, and it involves the issue of closed beta qualification.
Some NPCs actually know that they can be resurrected in the settings, such as the manager and the white-haired lady in the infirmary. And some non-core NPCs have heard some rumors to some extent, but most of these rumors are outrageous and the versions are not unified.
No veteran player who has even learned the language of the game would risk losing his qualification for the closed beta test to testify or clarify these rumors in public, and he certainly would not do such a stupid thing. It
is best to abide by the convention and avoid this topic before the public beta test begins.
But I have to tell that kid Ye Shi later, so as not to be caught and have to talk nonsense for a long time, which is too time-consuming.
”Um… can I interview you, Mr. Hero?” Looking at Fang Chang who was released by the president, Rose said a little nervously, “If it is a topic that offends you, you don’t have to answer it.”
”About that day… I don’t really have much to say. Everything should be based on the news from the Alliance.” Looking at the new reporter in front of him, Fang Chang suddenly came back to his senses.
He was just wondering if Dolly had gone out for an interview, but seeing that the newcomer was so idle, it seemed that it was not the case.
”Where’s Dolly? Didn’t she come to work?” Fang Chang looked at Hal, “I wanted to ask just now, why did you suddenly recruit new people here?”
Facing his friend’s gaze, Hal’s expression was a little embarrassed, and he said hesitantly.
”She… just left yesterday.”
Fang Chang said in surprise.
”Gone?!”
Hal nodded slowly.
”Well… You may not know that the victory report from the front line was almost transmitted here that night. Although we did not get the specific list of casualties, the news we got was that only one person from the Burning Corps survived. You don’t know how desperate she was at that time…”
Fang Chang took a breath of cold air and asked immediately.
”Where is she now!”
Hal said with a dodging look.
”Early yesterday morning, she submitted her resignation letter, saying that she was going to Dawn City to find you. I advised her to wait a little longer, but she was still determined to leave. We can’t do without reporters, so I hired another one… Of course! I didn’t approve her resignation, her letter is still here, and she can come back to work at any time.”
Fang Chang was silent for a moment, then sighed.
”It’s my fault.”
Thinking of giving Dolly a surprise, he went to Boulder City as soon as he was resurrected, but he didn’t expect to pass by her…
As he said that, Fang Chang tightened the backpack on his shoulders and turned around.
Hal was stunned when he saw this, and asked subconsciously.
”Where are you going?”
”Back.”
After saying this, Fang Chang had disappeared at the door of the newspaper office.
Standing next to the stunned president, Rose wrote on the notebook with shining eyes, chattering excitedly.
”Is this love?”
The hero who boarded the Iron Heart and his little wife who was looking forward to his return… Wait.
Rose quickly looked at the president.
”Are they lovers, or have they already…”
As she spoke, she closed the cap of her fountain pen with great interest, looking forward to it.
Hal glanced at the full page of shorthand in Rose’s hand, and blushed after reading just two lines, and coughed dryly.
”…We are not that kind of newspaper.”
…
The fifth day after the war.
The broken wing of the Iron Heart, which was floating over Ruigu City, had been repaired.
Although it was not very beautiful, it did not affect its participation in the triumphant celebration.
Standing by the French window of the bridge, Chu Guang looked at the clear sky and the gradually rising sun in the distance, and squinted his eyes slightly with a comfortable expression. At
this moment, the whole land seemed to be stepped on by him. Looking around, he could see the mountains, rivers, jungles and plains.
Is this the feeling of standing on a starship?
Sooner or later, he would get a bigger one!
Except for the task masters who planned to stay in Shelter No. 79 and Fallen Leaf Camp to do tasks, all the players who planned to go back with him to show off have already boarded the ship.
Chu Guang was full of confidence and gave the order in high spirits.
”Set sail! Set sail!”
Xiao Qi’s untimely reminder came to his ears.
”Master, there is no sail on the Iron Heart.”
Chu Guang laughed.
”It doesn’t matter! If I say there is, there is.”
This AI is usually very smart, but its emotional intelligence is not very high.
Look at how smart that Finod is. He dared not say a word, but only said “yes” in a timid manner, and then went on with his work without saying a word.
Most of the captured engineers were technicians, and they didn’t have many opportunities to actually drive the airship. Everyone was operating the equipment in a hurry, and finally they didn’t fall behind, successfully retracted the anchor chain that fell on the ground, and started the engine of the airship.
Finod breathed a sigh of relief, his head was finally saved, and he looked at Chu Guang standing by the French window with expectation.
Unfortunately, the manager’s attention was probably not on him at the moment, and he didn’t mention reducing the ransom at all.
Finod tried to remind him.
”Dear Administrator, our speed can reach about 20 knots, and we should be able to reach Qingquan City before noon.”
Chu Guang said with a hearty smile.
”Not bad.”
Finod waited for a long time, but there was no follow-up, and he closed his mouth with a look of grievance.
The wings reinforced with steel plates trembled slightly, and driven by fusion power, the old-fashioned propellers began to rotate.
With the whistling and buzzing, the towering steel fortress began to advance towards the east!
The huge body drove across the wilderness, and the angular armor was plated with the golden color of dawn and dusk. Many wild alien species saw the flashing colors above their heads, and they were frightened and retreated into the caves and fled everywhere.
Standing in front of the terminal on the bridge.
Chu Guang asked Xiaoqi to connect the communication system to the speakers in various parts of the cabin, picked up the intercom on the table, cleared his throat and said loudly.
”This flight will go to Qingquan City–”
”Let’s go home with victory and glory!”
After saying it once in human language, he repeated it in Mandarin, and soon heard the thunderous cheers.
”Aoaoao! We can go home soon!”
”Mosquito?! Didn’t you go back a long time ago?” “What does it matter! Can’t I just
parachute over here and go back again?!”
”Fuck, are you sick?”
”Draw! Draw! I want to draw! Damn spring water, if it’s the European emperor again this time, I will kill him!”
”???”
”Giao! Rourou, you blocked the window!”
”Teng Teng! Look, look! The dawn of the day and the earth that has not yet ended in the night are blended into one. This game is really full of love in every frame. Woo woo woo, it’s so beautiful that it makes me cry!”
”Wu wu wu wu–”
I don’t know whose short and dull sob it is, but it sounds like the sound of being surrounded by happiness… I guess it must be moved to tears at this moment.
Chu Guang laughed and suddenly wanted to drink something.
However, just as he was about to open a bottle of General McLennan’s collection, Xiao Qi’s nervous voice came to his ears.
”Master! There are four unknown targets approaching on the radar.”
Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly.
”Oh?”
Who is so bold to spoil his fun!
Without any hesitation, Chu Guang ordered.
”Prepare anti-aircraft artillery fire!”
The anti-aircraft guns on the top of the airship began to rotate, and the barrels like hedgehogs were aimed at the aircraft flying towards this side 20 kilometers away.
Although the ground support artillery on the pod needs manual operation, the 12 100mm and 144 20~30mm anti-aircraft guns are equipped with automatic fire control systems.
Just yesterday, Xiao Qi had mastered the control of the fire control system and firmly locked the airspace in front of the airship.
Chu Guang said calmly.
”The warning range is 10 kilometers. If the other party does not actively connect to our communication, don’t ask me, just shoot them down!”
Xiao Qi: “Received!”
At this time point, Chu Guang could guess where these people came from with his feet.
The red dot on the radar was approaching, and when it was close to 15 kilometers, it suddenly stopped. At the same time, a communication request came from the communication channel.
Chu Guang glanced at the screen and ordered.
”Connect.”
The communication was quickly connected.
A calm voice came from the other side.
”This is the Boulder City Militia, I am the captain of the Militia Aviation Squadron… Li Hua, can I come up and talk to you?”
This name seemed to have been heard somewhere a long time ago, probably when the Pioneer just came.
But Chu Guang has forgotten who he heard it from.
Maybe it was Luo Hua, maybe it was someone else.
Chu Guang thought about it and said.
”Okay.”
A flying machine that looks like a dolphin flew in the distance.
It has a wide nose and a slender fuselage. The two engines are arranged one in front and one behind the bottom, spraying enchanting light blue fire arcs, pushing the aircraft slowly through the shield of the Iron Heart and hovering on the belly of the airship.
The hatch slowly opened.
The vertical take-off and landing aircraft rose into the cabin along with the airflow.
Standing in the landing cabin that was designed like a U-shaped port, Chu Guang watched the sci-fi aircraft come to a stop, and then a man wearing an exoskeleton walked down.
Three bodyguards also wearing exoskeletons walked down with him, standing next to the aircraft with guns and live ammunition.
Lu Bei stood beside Chu Guang calmly, holding the weapon in his hand tightly, staring at those people motionlessly.
If they had any improper intentions towards the manager, he would take action without hesitation.
However, the man did not look at him, motioned his men to stay next to the vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and walked up to Chu Guang alone.
”Let me introduce myself again, my name is-”
”Li Hua,” Chu Guang stretched out his right hand, shook his hand briefly, and then let go, and continued, “I am the manager of the alliance, explain your purpose.”
Li Hua was slightly stunned.
Because Chu Guang said what he wanted to say.
After calming down, he continued.
”…I am here to communicate with you on behalf of the city lord. If your airship continues to move forward, it will enter our air defense identification zone.”
Chu Guang looked at him calmly.
”According to the contract, we have given up all the airspace within the North Fourth Ring Road of Qingquan City and the Fifth Ring Road in other directions. We promise to abide by the agreement.”
Li Hua frowned slightly.
”The range of your artillery is at least 20 kilometers.”
Chu Guang smiled faintly.
”It’s hard to say, maybe 40 kilometers, maybe 100 kilometers, who knows?”
Li Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.
”Aren’t you afraid of accidental discharge of the gun?”
Hearing the threat in the voice, Lu Bei’s face turned cold and he took a half step forward.
Seeing the boy’s action, the three bodyguards guarding the plane suddenly became nervous, and their index fingers unconsciously placed on the weapon safety.
The atmosphere in the landing cabin was tense.
Looking at Li Hua, whose eyes were full of vigilance, Chu Guang said in a calm tone.
”When has the alliance ever been afraid?”
Feeling a little tricky from the man in front of him, Li Hua lowered his voice and his tone was slightly softened.
”If you insist on passing, I need to ask the city lord for instructions…”
”No problem, you ask for your instructions, I’ll go mine.”
The alliance will negotiate with anyone.
But it will not become anyone’s vassal.
As the manager of the alliance, he has no obligation to listen to anyone’s instructions.
The power armor mask closed, Chu Guang turned around, and looked at Lu Bei and other soldiers of the Guards Corps beside him.
”Send you away.”
”Yes!”
Lu Bei took the order neatly, looked at the man named Li Hua in front of him, and said in an unyielding tone.
”Sir, please go back.”
Li Hua stared at him, then looked at the power armor walking towards the door, and the soldiers with guns and live ammunition beside him.
He had no doubt that if he said no, he would be thrown down by these murderous soldiers immediately.
Gritting his teeth, he turned around.
”Let’s go!”
The engine of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft was re-ignited, and Li Hua and his three guards who were on the plane left the airship, passed through the deflector shield, and returned to the direction of Boulder City.
There were three other planes returning together.
Chu Guang sighed as he watched the signal on the radar go away.
As expected.
Equality is only within the range of the cannon, and equal force is the premise of dialogue.
He knew very well that if he had not ordered Xiao Qi to aim the anti-aircraft gun at them, these allies who were forced to squat in the same trench with him would not honestly come close to talk to him…
The Lord of Giant Stone City might be glad that those “servants” he didn’t care about were still far-sighted and took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with the Alliance.
Chu Guang will keep his promise. The Alliance’s aircraft will not enter Qingquan City’s airspace. The exchanges between the two sides in the economic and cultural fields will continue, and he will continue to repay the interest due… After all, credit is more valuable than gold.
Whether from a long-term or immediate perspective, a peaceful and stable Boulder City is more beneficial to the Alliance.
He will bring a new order to this land.
Not chaos.
Back to the bridge.
Chu Guang stopped in front of the French window and looked towards the east. As far as his eyes could see, he could see the gradually clear outline of the city.
He seemed to have heard the cheers of the people.
With a smile on his lips, he ordered.
”Keep going!”
Xiao Qi’s energetic voice came from the side.
”Okay!”
…
The majestic Iron Heart finally arrived at the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.
However, the legion’s logo had been erased, the flag had been broken, and replaced by the Alliance flag hanging under the bridge –
the several-meter-long flag fluttered in the wind, rustling in the cheers of the people.
The radar of Boulder City followed the arrival of the behemoth at all times. They watched it drive to the northern suburbs and descend in altitude, but they could do nothing.
The city lord ordered to
let it go.
There was no other way. While Boulder City’s anti-aircraft guns and missiles were on full alert, the 400mm main gun was aiming at this side.
God knows whether the devastating sub-nuclear weapon was in the chamber.
No one doubted whether those country bumpkins in the northern suburbs dared to fight, after all, they dared to beat the people of the legion, and beat them twice and a half…
Boulder City, radar station on the giant wall.
Sitting in front of the terminal connected to the radar, the officer on duty pinched his brows and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that no accidents would happen.
At least not today, when he was on duty…
Just then, footsteps were heard at the door, and a soldier stood at attention and saluted.
”Report to the commander! The Alliance Embassy sent a message to inform us that there will be a fireworks show in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City at 8 o’clock in the evening, so we should not be nervous.”
Those words were implicit and implicit.
It was obvious that they did not mean to ask for their consent.
The moment he heard this report, the officer’s blood pressure suddenly jumped up to his forehead. He immediately stood up from his chair and grabbed the soldier’s collar.
”Fireworks show?!”
”Don’t tell me, they plan to use that airship–”
The soldier stared at the bad-tempered officer nervously, swallowed his saliva, and said tremblingly.
”I, I don’t know, they didn’t say that specifically…”
The entire Boulder City’s senior management was in a mess.
At the same time, Dawn City, more than ten kilometers away, was decorated with lights and colors, and it was as lively as the New Year-even more lively than the New Year.
The girls holding flower baskets threw the flowers they picked into the air, and they fluttered upwards with the ribbons hanging on the eaves.
Amid the passionate drumbeats and music, the airship slowly descended, turned off the engine, and lowered the anchor chain.
The square cement platform was covered with red carpet.
Guards holding rifles stood in a row to maintain order at the scene.
The elevator slowly lowered and landed on the platform covered with red carpet.
As the azure power armor stepped on the carpet, and as tall and majestic figures came into view, the atmosphere on the scene also reached its peak.
People cheered and shouted, venting their excitement and excitement. ”
Long live the administrator!” ”
Long live the alliance!” ”
For the great alliance!”
Chu Guang smiled and waved his hands amid the cheers of the people.
Those pairs of eyes full of admiration and respect were the most shining treasures for him.
Wait until the noisy sound waves stopped for a while.
Looking around at the familiar faces, Chu Guang cleared his throat, turned on the speaker on the power armor, and spoke in a solemn and clear voice.
”Today, we wrote history. We defeated the enemy that was considered invincible. We rescued our oppressed compatriots.”
”This hard-won victory and honor belongs to all of us!”
”Whether it is the soldiers fighting bravely on the front line, the farmers working in the fields, or the workers sweating in factories and construction sites, those who contribute in their own way…”
”This is a victory we have won together. Unity has enabled us to go from nothing to today. My name should not be the only one to be praised-”
”Cheers for victory!”
”For our tomorrow-”
”For us!”
Thunderous cheers and applause resounded throughout the square again.
Chu Guang signaled Luca, the lord of Dawn City, who was waiting on the side, and announced the schedule of the celebration and the start of the awarding ceremony.
Because they had made arrangements in advance, the players were all dressed like human beings, including the most noisy Tail and Mosquito.
The funeral of the glorious one will be tomorrow.
Today, all you need to do is drink good wine, sing loudly, and cheer for the triumph-
don’t let sadness let down the hard-won peace.
A corner of the crowd.
Looking at the figure walking down from the airship, Shuangxue’s peaceful face was covered with a faint red cloud, and her eyes were looking straight in that direction. Shuanghe, who
was standing by, saw that her sister’s hands were clapping red, and she couldn’t help but laugh and tease this simple girl.
”Which boy do you like? Do you need me to buy you a bouquet of flowers?”
Red clouds instantly climbed up to her ears.
Frost glared at her sister who was teasing her, and hurriedly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she whispered guiltily.
”I… am not worthy of that adult.”
It was not out of inferiority or reserve.
She knew very well that the adult belonged to everyone living here, including her brothers and sisters, father, mother, grandfather…
She did not expect those eyes as hot as torches to stay on her body.
It would be good to stand in the crowd and watch silently, watching him come back safely.
Frost He saw the expression on her face and guessed that the little girl was still dreaming that unrealistic dream, so he sighed softly.
”You… forget it.”
Everyone has an age when they love to dream and be moved by themselves.
Including herself.
This is human nature.
Some things cannot be conveyed in words. When you are older, meet more people, and become a little more mature, you will naturally understand.
In the center of the square.
One by one, the warriors with outstanding achievements walked to the azure power armor, and the manager personally took the special medals and put them on them.
Among them are residents of the shelter and the indigenous people of this land.
If they are players, in addition to the physical medals, they will also receive electronic medals that can be displayed on the forum account page, as well as additional contribution points.
After accepting the medals, they will walk towards the crowd below the platform under the gaze of pairs of reverent eyes.
Just like when they went to war, they came from the crowd.
It was not only the residents of Dawn City who were watching on the scene who were infected by the warm atmosphere and shining honor.
There were also people who came from Dawn City, Boulder City, and even the slightly farther Red River Alliance, Garbage City and other survivor settlements, as well as merchants and travelers coming and going.
Zhou Nan, standing in the corner of the crowd, looked at the Iron Heart bathed in the scorching sun and said with emotion.
”This thing is really fucking big.”
He held a popsicle bought from a vendor in his hand, which was actually cola-flavored. It must be said that the creativity of these blue jackets is becoming more and more surprising.
Every time he came from Jinchuan Province, he would see different new things.
And these new things can often help him make a lot of money.
Sun Shiqi, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke.
”The Alliance controls the western gate of the southern corridor of the Valley Province. The trade route to Luoxia Province is expected to be more prosperous than it is now. According to their usual practice, they should repair the pre-war highway and lay the railway… At that time, the demand for steel and cement will be very strong.”
After a pause, he continued.
”I plan to invest in a steel plant in Qingshi County.”
Zhou Nan looked at him in surprise.
He knew that this drinking buddy had bought a house here and set up some businesses, but he didn’t expect that he actually planned to open a steel plant.
That is a heavy asset and can’t be moved easily.
If something unexpected happens, several years of work will be in vain.
”If this legion and the alliance fight… Aren’t you afraid of being affected by the war?”
”What’s there to be afraid of.”
Looking at the azure power armor and the steel fortress flying in the sky, Sun Shiqi’s mouth curled up with a confident smile.
”I have been to so many places, but there is no survivor settlement that makes me feel safer than here.”
…
”…I didn’t expect that I would have a share.”
Returning from the crowded square to the North City Commercial Street, looking at the shining medal on his chest, Teng Teng’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up for the tenth time.
In the center of the medal is a gear, like the door of a shelter, engraved with the commemorative 79, representing Shelter No. 79, which has just been included in the recovery area.
The electronic version of the medal is synchronized in the VM. The description text after selecting it is the same as in the Alpha version – “We set out from here”.
Although I haven’t been to the front line for a long time, it’s still fun to fight with everyone occasionally.
Before I knew it, I walked to the door of the elegant and chic clothing store. As soon as Teng Teng saw the open door, a beautiful figure ran out.
”Teng Teng!!!” ”
Woo——”
Teng Teng, who had just returned home, had no time to say a word before a suffocating black shadow bumped into her.
Damn——
this damn height.
Teng Teng rolled her eyes and was about to drop the line. Fortunately, Ya Ya next to her saw it and hurried to help, holding the tearful shop assistant.
”Ah! Quick, let go! Teng Teng can’t breathe!”
”!!!”
You actually knew it!
Finally broke free from the arms of her own shop assistant, Teng Teng cleared her throat hard, stared at the man and complained.
”Do you want me to die?”
Three days are very difficult, okay!
The scolded shop assistant girl lowered her head and kept apologizing.
Her name is Huahua. She has long black hair and wheat-colored skin. She is wearing a British-style classical maid dress.
This is a work uniform designed for her by Teng Teng out of personal interest, because it feels very suitable for her slightly shy temperament.
As for other players’ complaints that the skirt is too long and unreasonable, she doesn’t intend to pay attention to those old dirty monsters who don’t understand art at all.
Like many residents of Dawn City, Huahua is also a refugee from other regions, and her original name is “Cattleya”.
Because it would be strange to translate it into Chinese, Teng Teng gave her a nickname.
This situation is not uncommon in the wasteland.
Homeless refugees are happy to accept the names given to them by locals, which usually means parental acceptance.
Not to mention the names given by residents of the shelter.
”Yes, sorry! I was just too excited… You, you left a note and left, I was worried that you would be in danger on the front line…”
The tears hanging on the eyelashes made it difficult for people to lose their temper. Teng Teng sighed and a soft smile appeared on her face.
”I’m sorry to make you worry, but it’s okay, I’m also…”
However, before the heartwarming words were finished, they were interrupted by Ya Ya who was patting his chest.
”That’s right! Don’t worry Hua Hua, I’m here! Although Teng Teng’s fighting power is a little weak, I will protect her!”
Hua Hua, who didn’t know the truth, bowed quickly.
”Thank you for bringing our boss back.”
Teng Teng: “…”
This guy.
He really doesn’t blush at all.
…
For the whole afternoon, Dawn City was immersed in the atmosphere of the festival.
With the end of the awarding ceremony, the lively crowd gradually moved from the square to the commercial street, which also brought more prosperity than before.
Highway Town Hotel.
The lobby was filled with the sound of clinking glasses, beer foam and noisy spit almost flew to the ceiling, and the surviving natives were immersed in the feeling of being alive.
Among them were soldiers from the First Corps, mercenaries who followed the Alliance to fight, and residents of the shelter.
Old White and Kuangfeng, who were resurrected two days ago, finally reunited in the game with Ye Shi who returned with the airship.
The three good brothers were sitting at the bar in the lobby, chewing barbecue and drinking mellow beer.
Today’s beer and food are free.
Everyone was ready to come in vertically and go out horizontally.
”Damn! Where is that bastard Fang Chang?”
Looking at Ye Shi who couldn’t stop talking, Kuangfeng burped with a slightly drunk face.
”Why do you ask such a…fish-lipped question?”
”That’s right!” Old White also said with a smile, “That guy just climbed out of the incubator, picked up his bag and ran to Boulder City… What do you think he is doing?”
That guy probably has it all figured out.
He didn’t even frown when he drilled into the 400mm main gun. I’m afraid he had already made up his mind to die early and go home early.
Ye Shi couldn’t help but curse.
”Damn! A guy who values women over friendship!”
”Burp – I can’t do it anymore.”
Kuang Feng, who was still slightly drunk a second ago, suddenly made a close contact with the bar with a thud, and seemed to be offline.
”Hahaha! Witch!”
Ye Shi laughed strangely, and his butt slid off the stool in less than two seconds. Fortunately, Lao Bai was quick to pull him, so that the war hero didn’t get embarrassed and drill under the table.
”This bunch of noobs.”
Lao Bai, who settled Ye Shi on the bar and picked up the wine glass again, sighed helplessly and felt lonely like snow.
However, the metabolic rate of the intelligence and perception systems is there, and it is not their fault for what is determined by the character attributes.
To enjoy drinking, you still have to go with Quitting, Lao Na and the others. Players with physical fitness have fast metabolism, so they go to the toilet after drinking two sips. After more than ten cups, they are still fine.
But they also have their own things to do, and I don’t know where to go to have fun now.
Looking at the people with happy faces, Old Hook, who was standing behind the bar, couldn’t help but be infected by their optimism and smiled.
While wiping the wine glass, he said.
”It’s great to see you guys. That news scared me.”
Ye Shi and Kuang Feng were almost done drinking and were struggling with the network connection.
Old White took a sip and sighed drunkenly.
”Ah, it’s true that many brothers died… Especially those who parachuted.”
Old Hook poured himself a glass of beer and clinked glasses with Old White who was sitting at the bar.
”Let’s not talk about this. I shouldn’t mention this today… I hope you guys enjoy drinking.”
Old White laughed.
”Oh! That’s a must!”
At this time, a figure came in from the door.
She was wearing a simple long dress, her face was full of nervousness and embarrassment, and she seemed unable to adapt to the lively atmosphere here.
Next to her was a guard in a black uniform.
Old Hook recognized the guard, a young man from a nearby village, but he was unfamiliar with the girl in front of him, and felt that she didn’t look like someone from the nearby area.
”
Comrade guard, do you want to have a drink together?” Old Hook said with a smile.
The young guard shook his head quickly.
”I’m on duty, wait until the second half of the night to change shifts.” Old Hook looked at the girl next to him.
”Who is this?”
”Me,” the girl said nervously before the guard could speak, “My name is Lisa… Is there anyone called ‘pangolin’ here?”
As she spoke, she quickly glanced around the lively lobby, but a trace of disappointment soon appeared on her face.
Obviously, she didn’t find the person she was looking for.
Hearing the word pangolin, Old White was slightly stunned.
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, he turned around and looked at the slightly thin girl sitting on the round stool and asked.
”The pangolin you’re talking about is–”
”Do you, do you know him?” Lisa asked excitedly before he finished.
Old White scratched his head.
”He’s away from home. Do you have something urgent to talk to him about? I can help you pass on a message.”
This is not a difficult thing.
Just chat privately on the forum.
Lisa was silent for a while, and then spoke in a low voice.
”Will he come back?”
Looking at the expression on her face, Old White probably guessed something. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said seriously.
”Of course, but I don’t know how long.”
Lisa bit her lip lightly.
”I’ll wait for him.”
Leaving this sentence, she followed the guard out of the hotel.
Without mentioning the matter of helping to pass on the message, Old White turned to the bar and continued to drink.
This kind of thing cannot be interfered with by outsiders, and it is not appropriate.
Looking at her like that, it is obvious that she wants to say something to the warlord in person, so it is better for him not to worry about it.
Old Hook glanced at the door.
”People from the recovery area?”
Old White replied “Yeah.”
Old Hook sighed.
”He’s also a miserable person…”
…
As night fell, only a few people were left in the bustling square, and most people went to the commercial street in the north of the city.
A petite figure shuttled through the crowd, searching for a long time, and finally gave up and drooped her shoulders, walking towards the direction of the post station.
The merchant standing next to the two-headed ox cart yawned while counting the goods, preparing to set off early tomorrow morning and continue to go to Luoxia Province.
At this time, a young girl walked up to him and stopped.
Glancing at the light green hair, the merchant’s eyes stayed on the electronic prosthetic eye, guessing that this person should be a rich man, so he said politely.
”What’s the matter, miss?”
A hoarse voice floated.
”…How much does it cost to go to Ruigu City?”
When the merchant heard that there was business, he was overjoyed and said immediately.
”500 dinars! Or 100 silver coins, 300 Cr… I don’t want chips. I won’t go to Boulder City next time. I can pay whatever you want!”
Dolly’s eyes widened and she couldn’t help but say.
”Five hundred dinars?! You are blackmailing me!”
The merchant shrugged indifferently.
”You can also go on your own.”
Dolly gritted her teeth.
In order to leave Boulder City and to ask a reliable caravan to come to Dawn City, she spent a lot of money, and only 50 chips were left in her pocket.
Probably because they heard the conversation between the two, a group of people dressed as mercenaries suddenly came over, and the leader smiled and talked to them.
”Hey, friend, are you going to Luoxia Province? We are going the same way, do you want to go together? 10 dinars per person is enough.”
The merchant sneered.
”Haha, no need.”
The mercenary didn’t care and looked at Dolly, and when his eyes fell on that face, a trace of imperceptible greed flashed in his eyes.
Sensing the flicker in his eyes, Dolly’s eyes quickly showed a trace of alertness, and she took a step back.
”No need… I’ll ask someone else.”
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, the man couldn’t help but feel anxious. Just as he was about to take a step forward, a strange voice suddenly floated from behind him.
”It’s too expensive, 10 dinars, beautiful lady, I won’t charge you–”
Hearing that someone dared to steal his business, the mercenary narrowed his eyes immediately, and was about to turn around to see which unlucky thing was blind.
However, at this moment, a breeze just happened to blow across his collar and swept across his neck, and the fire in his boiling heart couldn’t help but cool down.
So fast!
He didn’t even see what it was, and the voice passed by him.
”–In exchange, just accompany me to watch a fireworks show.”
The familiar voice floated to his ears along with the evening breeze.
Looking at the smile that she had been thinking about day and night, Dolly’s eyes widened slightly, and she could hardly believe her eyes.
”Fang…”
”I’m back. I kept you waiting for a long time—”
The hot emotions and tears poured out together, and she could no longer restrain herself.
Before she finished the second half of the sentence, Fang Chang felt a breeze blowing, and a light softness was imprinted on his lips.
For a moment, he felt that his brain had crashed and was blank.
However, he was not offline.
His eyes widened slightly, and then slowly closed again.
He felt the bean-sized hot raindrops rolling down his lips, with a hint of saltiness.
’Sorry.’
’I kept you waiting for a long time.’
’I made you worry.’
There are many things I want to say.
But at this moment, they all seem redundant.
He slowly put down his playful expression and open hands, and hugged the person in his arms.
Fireworks in the sky bloomed.
The sky full of fireworks drifted brilliantly in the air, just like the fire rain blowing into the sky like locusts that night.
But if necessary, he is willing to go ten more times.
Even if there is no reward…
…
The square not far away.
Tail, riding on Rourou’s shoulder, raised his hands and made a telescope gesture, looking at the fireworks in the sky with excitement.
”Oh! Si! Rourou! Zhima! Look at the airship setting off fireworks!”
Clusters of flames rushed to the sky, and colorful colors spread in the air, illuminating the dark night and her eyes, reflecting the flickering light.
Sisi looked at the time on the VM and touched her chin thoughtfully.
”Well, it seems to be 2 minutes early…”
It’s really driving people with obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.
Zhima hugged her shoulders from behind with a smile on his face.
”Well… It’s okay as long as it looks good, don’t care about these details.”
At this moment.
The anti-aircraft guns on the top of the airship pointed straight to the sky, continuously venting intensive firepower, but not to shoot down any planes.
It’s to send blessings to the people who look up at the sky.
Holding a wine glass in his hand, Chu Guang stood in front of the French window and looked at the ground illuminated by fireworks, with a faint smile on his lips.
Xiaoqi’s slightly regretful voice came to my ears.
”Woo, master, I can’t see anything here… why don’t you go down.”
That was the fireworks show that it had carefully prepared for a long time.
However, the bridge was in the belly of the airship, and the sky could not be seen at all.
Chu Guang smiled faintly, looking at the land illuminated by fireworks outside the French window, and said in a very soft voice.
”How can I not see it?”
He had already seen the most beautiful scenery.
It was those faces looking up at the night sky, shining brightly.
He raised his glass and gently touched it against the French window. The crisp sound of jingling blended into the sound of the wind outside the window.
”Cheers to the unbreakable alliance.”
Enjoy the celebration.
And the peaceful evening breeze.
Everything here is earned by your blood and sweat.
Usually 6K, today should be counted as two updates. I finished the celebration in one go. I feel like I’m going to starve to death after writing it…
