In the spacious rest cabin of the special service ship, Tao Yiran huddled in the corner and sobbed. Tie Hammer squatting aside seemed at a loss and kept saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid~~"
Other candidates gathered in the distance and whispered, witnessing the scene before takeoff, and they all looked at Tao Yiran with a hint of sympathy.
This trip was so hasty that no one had enough time to say goodbye to the past.
Confusion about the future gradually replaced the excitement of flying on the spacecraft for the first time, and the rest cabin quickly fell silent.
Three hours later.
The engine noise finally disappeared. Although they did not feel any bumps or weightlessness, everyone knew that they had reached their destination.
The person who was responsible for guiding them when they boarded the ship was a woman with a smile on her face. Now she walked into the rest cabin and said happily: "Dear children, after a flight of three hours and fifteen minutes, we finally reached the end of this trip."
The candidates each picked up their backpacks and gathered around.
Tao Yiran stood next to Tie Hammer, with tears still on his face, but his mood was much better, mainly because Tie Hammer was too persistent. She suspected that if she kept crying, Tie Hammer would say "not afraid, not afraid" forever. .
"Before disembarking, I must emphasize once again," the woman raised her hands in the air as she spoke, "In the next week, I, Windinger T, will be responsible for everyone's food, daily life and other miscellaneous matters. If you encounter any problems, please do not hesitate to ask. You can come to me anytime."
Someone immediately asked: "Sister, are you a robot?"
This question is on everyone's mind. How could anyone be called "Wendinger T"? There is always a stiff smile on his face.
"No," Windinger T stretched his arms and spun around in a circle, "Look, I'm a bionic man."
"..."
Silence fell.
"Who has any questions?" Windinger T looked around, turned around lightly, and raised a hand, "If you don't have any, please bring your belongings and come with me."
Tao Yiran walked out with the team, silently making up his mind that no matter what method he used, he would definitely win the election.
Anyway, in a selection like this, it is difficult to be selected, but it must be very easy to lose.
Just as she was thinking about how to pretend to be stupid and lazy, a strange sound suddenly sounded in her ears. It sounded like a blower was installed in an empty room.
She weighed her feet and looked around. Not far away was the cabin door, which was two people wide and was slowly lowering.
The next moment, the candidates at the front were excited.
"Wow~~"
"Hold……"
"Fuck me..."
"バカすごい..."
There were exclamations in various languages, and everyone rushed forward, pushing and shoving.
For a moment, Tao Yiran was squeezed out of the cabin door by the people behind him and was stunned on the spot.
What appeared in front of her was a cylindrical space with a diameter so large that it was difficult to see visually. A huge black sphere was suspended in the center near the ground. Its surface was rippling like water. Countless spaceships with strange shapes were falling into the sphere from above. Every time Each spacecraft is dragging large structures, like some kind of parts, and at the same time, countless empty spaceships emerge from the side of the sphere and slowly rise.
Looking up, the cylindrical space extends straight upwards, with lighting installed section by section, until it reaches the unreachable highest point. The spaceships flowing up and down become only the size of a matchbox, appearing and disappearing in the round blue dome.
Blue...could it be the sky?
At this moment, the howling wind ruffled her hair. The giant space, the mysterious sphere, mechanical equipment, the army, the spaceship, everything formed a miraculous scene in her eyes.
Tao Yiran's mind went blank, a deep shiver ran from the soles of her feet to her heart, and goosebumps appeared all over her body. For the first time, she felt that she was so small, so...insignificant.
Is this Xi'an? Is this the truth of the world?
Windinger T's voice sounded, with a smile and passionate chant:
"Welcome to - Zhenjie Fort!"
——————————
Zhongjingxiacheng District.
As the most important "mediation" place between gangs in China, the "Three Musketeers" restaurant has a unique symbolic meaning. Any gang leader who is qualified to eat here often means that his strength is influenced by ancient families and powerful gangs. unanimously approved.
Today, the "Three Musketeers" that was destroyed by the goblin war has been rebuilt on its original site, but it has lost its former glory. There is only one person eating in the huge restaurant.
"Wait for me here."
At the door of the restaurant, Levi pursed his lips and patted Dou Ming on the shoulder. According to the plan agreed in advance, he walked into the restaurant alone and came to the only "customer". He bent down and whispered:
"Larry."
Lawrence, who was as strong as a bear, was holding a white napkin on his chest and was concentrating on cutting a steak.
"Larry," Levi raised his head, stared at Lawrence's expression, and nodded for a moment, "OK."
Then, he took out the gun from his waist and put it against his temple.
The moment he was about to pull the trigger, Lawrence's hand holding the knife paused, raised his eyes and said, "I'm eating."
Levi's eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and he finally put down the gun and turned around and walked out: "Fuck, I will dig myself a corpse pit in the garbage dump."
"Stop," a deep voice came from behind. Levi turned around and saw Lawrence pulling off his napkin and wiping his mouth. He squeezed out of the booth with some difficulty and walked slowly towards the door.
"follow me."
After walking out of the restaurant and onto the roadside, Lawrence raised his head and looked at the sky without saying a word.
Levi glanced at Dou Ming, who had an anxious face, and used his eyes to signal him to calm down.
At this time, the sky that originally simulated a clear sky suddenly darkened until it was pitch black.
The broadcast that can be heard every morning came from the sky, but the tone at this moment became extremely serious:
"All citizens, it is now 11:45 on January 1, 3028. In fifteen minutes, the twin gods will walk out of the temple and come to the world."
"All citizens are asked to go outside and the marquee will broadcast live broadcasts from the temple."
"Citizens, we are about to witness the beginning of a new era."
"History will remember today and every one of us."
Accompanied by the sonorous and powerful words, the airships flowing back and forth in the air froze in mid-air, the motor vehicles and floating boats driving on the streets stopped one after another, and people appeared in the streets and alleys, looking up at the sky.
Twelve o'clock sharp.
The sky curtain lit up again, showing the scene in front of the temple.
Amidst the shouts like a tsunami, the huge door of the temple opened, and nine people slowly stepped out. The twin gods were walking in the front.
The camera slowly zooms in.
Dou Ming saw a familiar face and instantly felt a current of electricity concentrating on him, making his whole body numb.
I actually guessed it correctly, the twin gods are...Mr. Li Liang.
Immediately afterwards, he saw his boss K, Cain, Sonoya...
“Today my kingdom comes, says the Twin Gods, that I may dwell among you.”
A bell-like sound fell from the sky, and Li Liang walked into the crowd of believers, shaking hands and talking to everyone. The camera followed closely, capturing the "Twin Gods" who were no longer symbols but "people".
The broadcast was still going on, but Lawrence withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice: "We still have a lot of things to do next. The boss said, please save your lives first." After that, he turned and walked back to the restaurant.
Dou Ming and Levi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
A few minutes later, the scene displayed on the marquee switched from the temple to an office, and the chairman of the joint meeting appeared for the first time to deliver a New Year's speech.
"Citizens of Xiacheng District, I am Li Ru..."
Long after the broadcast ended, Dou Ming was still sitting on the side of the road, staring blankly at the busy traffic.
When evening came, Levi stood up next to him and sighed: "Tao Yiran probably won't come back."
Dou Ming lowered his head and smiled.
"Um."
