After everything was arranged, Su Bai went out first to scout out the location.

Inside the colorful world, a group of people stood silently in place.

Some smoke, some drink, and some eat snacks.

No one knew what awaited them next, but at this moment, everyone's face was filled with an unprecedented calm.

Even Hu Meihong, who had always been reluctant to eat that bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips, quietly took them out at this moment and put them into her mouth one after another.

"You brat, smoking so often, are you afraid of dying?"

Much later.

Chen Xuanji had just taken a sip of wine when he glanced at Zhou Qili with a mocking expression.

"Damn you old devil, I'm as tough as nails, I'm not afraid of dying. No way! I've lived in this world for over thirty years, and apart from not having a girlfriend, I have no regrets!"

Zhou Qili rolled his eyes at him, and the latter smacked his lips, looking disdainful.

"I've lived for over thirty years, at least seventy or eighty years. I've eaten more salt than you've walked roads. If you say I have no regrets, I don't believe you."

"I don't believe it either," Fox Heaven laughed.

"There's no real regret, but sometimes I feel like the captain has it too tough."

"If I remember correctly, he was not even twenty years old. In the past, in peaceful times, he should have been enjoying his youth to the fullest. But he dedicated almost everything to the human race."

“Originally, we older folks should be looking after him, but every time, it’s him who’s looking after us. Like this time, with the captain’s strength, does he need to scout ahead? No way, but the captain went anyway. All he did was give us a sliver of hope to survive.”

"Sometimes, I really feel like I'm a fucking useless piece of trash, unable to help at all, and in the end, the captain has to worry about us..."

Zhou Qili sighed.

His words plunged the atmosphere into silence once again.

At this moment, the members of the Chang'an team, as well as Hu Tian, ​​Hu Meihong, and Mo Xunxue, couldn't help but recall that thin, yet exceptionally resolute, tall, and unwavering figure.

"The captain isn't actually aloof; he's just cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He doesn't say fancy words; he only uses his actions and the sword in his hand to protect everyone around him..."

Zheng Shilong sighed.

"Everyone knows about the captain's past. Although I often tout myself as a hero who saved humanity, sometimes when I think of Xie Changkong, Qin Tianzhu, and Wang Guoguang who once saved the captain, I feel ashamed of myself."

"They saved the captain, which is equivalent to saving humanity. Moreover, at that time, they were incredibly weak, yet they possessed this admirable sense of national righteousness. Compared to me, they are the true heroes."

Zhou Qili lit another cigarette, a mocking expression creeping onto his heavy face.

"Alas, the captain has really suffered. He was an orphan since childhood and has never experienced the beauty of family affection. When he was about to take the college entrance examination, he suffered another blow. It is true that Xie Changkong and others saved the captain, but from the captain's perspective, isn't the captain living with their beliefs on his back? Now the human race is weak, and the captain is already thin. On his heavy shoulders, he once again carries the fate of the entire human race!"

"Under such pressure, it is already remarkable that the captain has been able to remain rational and not go crazy. Has anyone here ever seen the captain smile? I have never seen him smile since I met him."

"I didn't want to say these things originally, but I'm about to work hard, and there are some things I just have to get off my chest."

Gu Zhenyuan, who is usually a man of few words, spoke a great deal this time, which was unprecedented.

These heartfelt words made the already heavy atmosphere even heavier.

"Captain, it seems like it really is, he hasn't smiled at all..."

Zhou Qili lowered his head in dejection.

He couldn't imagine what kind of heavy pressure a boy not even twenty years old had to bear to the point that he couldn't even smile.

"Captain, it's too tough..."

Chen Xuanji took a swig of wine, and the already spicy wine seemed to become even spicier at this moment.

It burns my throat, it burns my heart, and it burns my eyes.
