Chen Tiansheng covered his face and said in a serious tone:
"I hate working overtime with you, Mr. Cheng, you have changed. You are no longer the IT man we once worked hard with!"
"That's enough, Mr. Chen, one code is the same, can you stop..."
"Shh!"
Chen Tiansheng hurriedly made a shushing gesture and listened attentively. There was indeed a movement of women in the Golden Temple, and it seemed that there was more than one person.
The two looked at each other and opened the door to the system maintenance room together.
They saw a scene that was puzzling to both of them.
Zhao Shiyun was gesticulating.
"Put the table in the middle, yes, right here."
Sun Qianhui used nano cubes to form an Eight Immortals table. It is very large and can be used by 8 people without being crowded at all.
Zhao Shiyun then placed the copper hotpot on top and adjusted its position.
"Done, light the fire."
"What are you doing?"
Chen Tiansheng walked out, followed closely by Cheng Yue.
At the same time, the temple portal opened, and Kong Minxue came in carrying a basket of fresh vegetables.
"I brought fresh vegetables, just picked by the laboratory."
Mu Jiangrong and Xing Liya walked in holding canned meat.
"There's too much meat, help pick it up."
"I come."
Yang Xue suddenly appeared, helping to move the canned meat, and half-jokingly said:
"It's true that you two have system space and don't need it. It's so tiring to hold it."
"You don't understand. These canned meats just came off the production line. They were placed in the system space backpack and were confused with the previous ones."
The girls got together talking and laughing, filling the table with vegetables and meat one by one. Yang Xue even brought out various types of alcohol, including beer, white and red.
"Hey, you are actually eating hot pot in the sacred Golden Temple?"
Chen Tiansheng started questioning him as soon as he arrived. Zhao Shiyun was the first to bow her head. After all, it was her idea.
The other women were not as submissive as she was. They rushed up to surround Chen Tiansheng and pinned him down on his seat like stars holding the moon in their arms.
"Uncle, don't we want to welcome the New Year with you?"
"That's right. I've been busy for a year and I finally have a day off today. Why don't you have a hot pot meal with us?"
With Kong Minxue and Yang Xue, Chen Tiansheng couldn't lose his temper even if he had it.
Cheng Yue was still holding the instant noodles, looking at the sumptuous hot pot on the table, his mouth watered, and he stood there stunned in envy.
"Mr. Cheng, what are you giving me? Come and sit down!"
"coming."
With hot pot, instant noodles suddenly lose their flavor.
Cheng Yue sat humbly next to Chen Tiansheng. The girls were busy with their own tasks. Yang Xue was responsible for cutting the meat, Mu Jiangrong was responsible for washing the vegetables, Kong Min was learning how to light the fire, and Xing Liya and Sun Qianhui were responsible for distributing bowls and chopsticks and mixing hot pot seasonings.
"Boss, we have already discussed this, and we just want to welcome the New Year with you."
"Quiting your job?" Chen Tiansheng asked.
"Go ahead, eat and work at the same time, there won't be any delay."
Yang Xue put down the plate of freshly cut meat and said:
"Zheng Wei is watching in the country. The assessment has been arranged long ago. On time, the Dark Fire Operation Team will go directly to take people. Now I am idle. I am full of food and drink and working."
These women had planned it for a long time. Chen Tiansheng, two men from Cheng Yue, Yang Xue, Kong Minxue, Zhao Shiyun, Mu Jiangrong, Sun Qianhui, and Xing Liya had exactly eight people sitting at the Eight Immortals table.
"fresh vegetables."
Mu Jiangrong put down the vegetables one by one. They were all edible vegetables specially cultivated by Professor Kong Xiangtian to ensure they were green and pollution-free.
After the chopsticks and drinks were distributed, everyone poured a glass of wine.
"celebrate New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
"cheers."
The girls took the lead, so Chen Tiansheng had no choice but to borrow Poxia's donkey and follow them to have a good drink.
…
New Year's Eve.
All major bases across the country are basically deserted, and everyone is celebrating the New Year at home.
There are rumors that there will be a surprise tonight. I wonder what kind of surprise Spark Technology will bring to everyone.
"呲呲~"
Just as every family was preparing for New Year's Eve dinner, a loud noise suddenly came from the radio that had just been distributed.
"Xinghuo Radio Station, New Year's Sound, New Year's blessing large-scale radio party, officially begins!"
When they heard the broadcast, everyone looked in disbelief. The next moment, they all ran to the radio, holding the radio and listened carefully.
"Xinghuo Technology wishes everyone across the country a happy New Year."
"The imperial cabinet wishes the people of the country to live and work in peace and contentment, and their families to be happy!"
"The Headquarters of the Hunters in the Demon City wishes the people of the country to have the present day every year and the present day every year."
"Great Northwest Grain Production Base, I wish..."
All major bases across the country sent their best wishes. This also allowed the people living in the apocalypse to have national news for the first time. They finally learned about outside news and were no longer blocked. It also made many people burst into tears.
…
Imperial Capital, Foreign Guest Hotel.
The Chinese who had been rescued from Europe were all gathering in the restaurant to celebrate the New Year together. Suddenly they heard the nationwide broadcast. How exciting it was.
Xue Muyang, president of the Chinese Association and former embassy diplomat, put his arms around his daughter's shoulders and clenched his fists in excitement.
"Daughter, this is the strength of our country. As a Chinese, I am very proud!"
"Me too, long live the motherland!"
Everyone toasted together.
"After receiving congratulatory messages from major bases across the country, I will send you an old song: The Great Wall will never fall. I hope you like it."
As soon as the passionate prelude started, the strong men were overcome with tears and humming.
After a song is sung, a speech follows.
"Hello to the listeners in front of the radio and all Chinese compatriots, I am Zheng Wei, commander-in-chief of the Spark Strategic Command. On this special day, I would like to send my best wishes to the people across the country."
"In the past three years, we have faced catastrophe, but the people of the country are united and united. Next, we will face more difficult challenges!"
"I swear to the stars in the sky that as long as the sparks are in the country, I am willing to dedicate my life and defend my homeland to the death!"
"We are Heijia, and we are determined to defend our homeland to the death!"
The unanimous shouts of tens of thousands of people were shocking.
After the inspiring declaration, the next thing that came to mind was a song that all Chinese people can sing, and it is also the most inspiring song in the world.
"National anthem"
The moment the prelude was played, all the people, no matter where they were, stood up, with solemn expressions, and followed the sonorous and powerful rhythm to sing this song together!
After the national anthem ended, the people's excited emotions could not subside for a long time.
The host's voice came from the radio station again.
"Chinese people and relatives, we are the Chinese people who cannot be defeated. We have a five-thousand-year-old civilization. When zombies break out, we destroy them. When danger strikes, we unite to defend against the enemy. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we are all the dragons. successor!"
The music started and all the people continued to hum along.
