Chapter 171: Fireworks Show and Banquet
"...In the desert area, the construction of the new Life Lake base is going smoothly, except that there are always conflicts between the rebels and the Knights, but no serious losses have been caused. They may need time to adjust."
"The alien army has not yet completely withdrawn from the desert area and is approaching the western and northern edge."
"Ruins City, Boss Lion sent a communication for the fifth time, asking him what? When can he come over to replace you?"
"Everything is normal at the A3 base. The railway has covered two-thirds of the area. When approaching the eastern edge, there was interference from a group of alien beasts. A team of aliens has been sent to deal with it. In addition, the temporary orphanage was broken into by a well-trained team. An intruder was successfully captured and is now being interrogated about their identity and purpose - orphanage? Why was the orphanage invaded?"
Zai Zhe flipped through the organized report and summarized its contents to Zhang Chun. The night wind blew past him, lifting his clothes and bringing a gust of coolness.
He shrank his neck, looked at the desolate and silent sandy land after he walked out of the Kingdom Fortress, fastened his collar that he had unbuttoned to look cool, and muttered, "Since the fall of the Desert God, the temperature here has dropped sharply, whether during the day or at night. I feel like I can wear a sweater now."
Zhang Chun thought Zai Zhe was talking too much nonsense, so he grabbed the report from his hand, flipped through a few pages, and took a quick look to see if everything was going as normal.
Zai Zhe was still thinking aimlessly. They were walking towards the camp dinner on the east side of Lake of Life. It would take about five minutes. Maybe it was now? All the events had come to an end. He felt relaxed and couldn't stop talking. He said, "Cui Zhiyong was dragged to mediate the conflict between the rebels and the Knights. Owate and the people from the Hidden Lantern Society should still be preparing for the banquet. Mingji was flying around again. Who knows what he was doing? What? Chu Li stayed in the Red Dress Cult's data room for the whole day. Wan Mingxu..."
Zai Zhe couldn't help but be silent when he mentioned the companions who came with him.
Zhang Chun was still reading the report and said, "Heart disease is difficult to cure."
Zai Zhe was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "What about you?"
Did Zhang Chun's expression change? "It's getting better."
Zai Zhe's forced calmness was instantly broken, revealing a look of horror, "No? You actually confessed?! I thought you were going to say something like 'I'm sure'!"
Zhang Chun seemed to want to roll his eyes, but he finally held back and said, "I always keep my promises."
...So even if Wan Mingxu's problem is not solved this time, he will continue to think of ways to help him out.
Not dead yet, that means there is hope for everything.
Zai Zhe kept mumbling, complaining that everyone had promised to kill off their companions who had gone the wrong way or got into a mess, but in the end Wan Mingxu couldn't accept it, obviously because his psychological endurance was too poor, and then he was glad that the reality was much better than he had imagined, and maybe it could really lead to a perfect ending.
Zhang Chun had been looking down at the report. Amid Zai Zhe's muttering, he very skillfully ignored the noise and sorted out and memorized the key information from the report. However, as he was walking, he suddenly stopped and looked up abruptly at the road ahead.
Less than a hundred meters ahead is the location of the camp dinner.
Zai Zhe noticed Zhang Chun's surprised expression and his face froze: "What's wrong? Could it be? Is there any danger..."
"No?, Yes? I didn't? Find Yunyan... Why didn't he? Step on the sand??"
Zhang Chun muttered to himself, then turned to look at Zai Zhe.
Zai Zhe was a little slow to realize what Zhang Chun meant, and held his forehead, "I am not the one who keeps my domain open all the time, are you really... Yun Yan is not a little kid, maybe he has already noticed the excitement of the dinner and came over."
After that, he snapped his fingers. As soon as he said the word "domain", a bright line of fire suddenly streaked across the night sky with a "whoosh" sound not far away, rising straight up to the sky. Then, it suddenly bloomed in the sky, emitting a dazzling white light, instantly illuminating the entire night sky.
The next second, a chaotic noise came from the dinner area a hundred meters away.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack—"
"What enemy?! With the three of us together, how could there be any fools coming to attack us?!"
"What is this light? What's going on! Damn it, my eyes are going blind..."
Zhang Chun stood there quietly, holding the report in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face. Then, he squinted his eyes and looked up at the night sky where the dazzling white light was gradually disappearing, as if he was looking for something.
Zai Zhe began to release the domain.
Zhang Chun was still looking up at the night sky.
In his field of vision, the white light in the night sky finally dissipated, illuminating a dark shadow in the center. A few seconds later, amid the noise of countless people rushing to the camp’s dinner location, with that black spot as the center, countless beams of light streaked across the sky like meteors, shooting in all directions.
At first glance, the night sky is covered with dense beams of light, like the brief arrival of daylight.
Zhang Chun heard Zai Zhe say, "The area has covered all bases and areas where personnel are located. By the way, do you think this whooshing sound is familiar?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound like thunder suddenly rang out in the sky, instantly suppressing countless noisy sounds on the ground.
The next second, the night sky, which had originally darkened, was once again lit up with countless lights. Colorful lights bloomed from all directions, some like shooting stars, some like blooming flowers, and some like pouring waterfalls. They filled the entire night sky, and large areas of dazzling light were shining in every direction.
What is that? ...Fireworks.
It was so crowded and dazzling, people panicking at the dinner, knights drawing their weapons and on alert, a group of people secretly fighting...
They stopped all their movements and looked up at the night sky which was particularly stunning due to the numerous gorgeous fireworks. It was as if they were brought into a dreamlike world. All the panic and worries disappeared in an instant, leaving only the joy and shock of being immersed in the beautiful scenery at this moment.
As soon as Zhang Chun and Zai Zhe entered the banquet area, they saw that everyone seemed to be? Time had stopped, all of them looked up at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky in a daze, some people didn't even fill their glasses? Found? They were still pouring wine...
Zai Zhe: "I feel like I know who did it."
Zhang Chun had a headache: "So? Who taught him to set off fireworks like this?"
…
[So! Who taught you to set off fireworks like this?! ]
High in the sky, where the fireworks were launched from, a black-haired boy was floating in the air, with gray mist condensing his upper body. His hands were open, and he clearly held two different types of fireworks boxes in each hand.
Amid the screams of the system, he excitedly spun non-stop at high speed. The light beams fired from the box like cannonballs exploded into bright and gorgeous fireworks in the distance.
Obviously, the one setting off the fireworks in the sky was Chu Xiuyan.
The bright fireworks in the sky were reflected in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "I've wanted to try it for a long time! Although it's also beautiful to stand on the ground and watch the fireworks in the sky, it's still better to appreciate them up close like this."
The system inhaled frantically: [Normally speaking, standing on the ground? Eating and chatting with family and friends, drinking drinks and admiring the fireworks above, sighing at the present? Enjoying the future, this is? Normal process! ]
Chu Xiuyan had just finished setting off a box of fireworks. He raised his finger to his lips and blinked at the night sky. "This is a dangerous behavior. In real life, adults and children alike should not imitate this~"
System: [Listen to me! And my camera wasn’t in that direction at all. I only captured your back.]
Chu Xiuyan turned around, facing the system camera, continued blinking, and said happily: "Is this? Dangerous behavior?, no matter what happens now..."
System: [Okay, I know. I will put a warning sign next to this picture. What is a normal human being? It is impossible to fly into the sky and spin like a cannonball to set off fireworks. Give up. You are the only crazy person in this world.]
Chu Xiuyan: "But I did it manually? I put on the special effects myself, so I saved you 50 cents."
System: [I'll give you one dollar. Stop your crazy behavior, get down on the ground and attend the dinner.]
Chu Xiuyan waved his hand, and a group of gray mist eagles came in front of him, carrying boxes of fireworks in their mouths.
He whistled, "Fireworks show, show time!"
Bang bang bang!
Countless beams of light shot into the distance once again, and the slightly darkened night sky was once again lit up by dense, bright and gorgeous fireworks.
The system screamed again: [So you didn't listen to me again? Right!!]
At this time, high in the sky, in the banquet area.
Zhang Chun and Zai Zhe found an empty seat and rest area. There was a rumbling sound above their heads, and colorful dazzling lights rose and fell one after another, constantly attracting the eyes of most people.
Zai Zhe was wearing sunglasses, eating the barbecue just brought from the food buffet area, with a glass of low-alcohol wine on the table, looking quite relaxed and at ease.
"I guess Yunyan must be having a lot of fun right now. But it's a bit surprising that you didn't stop him."
Zai Zhe said, and then glanced at Zhang Chun who was looking down at the report, and said in amazement: "Don't worry about work at this time, look at the fireworks above your head, can you bear to ignore Yun Yan's hard work in the fireworks display?"
Zhang Chun laughed, raised his head and lifted his hair. His slightly blurry vision suddenly became clear. There were bright and colorful fireworks, people coming and going at a very lively dinner party, and a group of children playing and laughing passed by their seats, bringing with them the sweet smell of candy and the rich aroma of food.
He sighed softly: "You are driving the field, since there is no damage, let him do whatever he wants."
"Would you like to drink?" Zai Zhe handed over a glass of wine.
Zhang Chun: “I quit.”
Zai Zhe: “Oh, I’ll drink it anyway.”
He just lifted the glass and put it into his mouth, and suddenly, as if he realized something, he coughed violently and sprayed out a lot of wine.
Zhang Chun gave him a look of disdain and confusion.
Zai Zhe waved his hand: "Ming Ji passed through the fireworks area at high speed and hit the domain barrier."
After that, a figure staggered over and fell on the open space beside the two of them? Then, he propped himself up on the ground with both hands and uttered a "vomit" sound. He was obviously in a very bad state, but he uttered words that were completely contrary to his weak appearance.
"Who set off the fireworks! I'm going to kill... Ugh! Damn, why? Why is there a barrier in the sky! Ugh..."
Zai Zhe mouthed two words: high-speed motion sickness.
Zhang Chun handed the wine glass on the table to Mingji and said, "Drink something to calm down."
Mingji's mind was in a mess. He took the cup and drank it in one gulp. Then he closed his eyes and fell backwards on the spot.
Zhang Chun explained to Zai Zhe in shock, "Mingji's alcohol tolerance is very poor. He will pass out after one glass. What is this information? It is included in the Wild Dog intelligence database. You should know it."
Zai Zhe: "...No, I won't memorize most of the information in the room before I leave, thank you."
Zhang Chun was not surprised at all. "I guessed it. But if you look it up, there shouldn't be any? This entry. I? I only found out about it when I saw Mingji reject the invitation to the cocktail party a few days ago." And...
He looked up and saw that the fireworks in the sky had finally stopped.
A black shadow broke through the barrier without hesitation and landed next to Zhang Chun and Zai Zhe.
The moment the domain was shattered, Zai Zhe was so scared that he spat out a mouthful of wine.
Chu Xiuyan pushed Zhang Chun aside, rubbed his seat, and began to grab the food on the table and stuff it into his mouth, mumbling: "Wow, I'm starving... By the way, why is there a carpet here? It's uncomfortable."
System: [What is that? Mingji, who is lying drunk and dead.]
Chu Xiuyan, who was chewing his meat, leaned over and poked Zhang Chun's arm with his elbow, saying, "Uncle, quickly drag this thing you're using as a footrest away. Really? Why are you leaving garbage everywhere?"
System: [What is that? Mingji.]
Chu Xiuyan leaned over to the table and grabbed the cup: "Wow, I'm so scared, why is there a corpse under my feet!"
System: [That is? Mingji! And he's? Alive!]
Zhang Chun bent down helplessly, thinking of finding an open place to put the drunk Mingji. When he stood up, he suddenly saw the boy next to him pouring wine from the bottle. At this time, the bottle was already half empty, which means that Yunyan had taken several sips from him when he was not paying attention...
Zhang Chun's expression changed instantly: "Wait a minute, Yunyan, what is that? Wine——"
Chu Xiuyan: "What? What? This is? Delicious apple juice? I'll drink it, I'll drink it!"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded not far away.
"Ah, you're all gathered here, does anyone want ice in their drinks? I learned a new trick!"
Cui Zhiyong tried hard to show off and walked slowly from a distance. He raised his right hand and turned a few ice cubes the size of fingernails on his fingertips, emitting a chill in the air.
However, he saw the terrified Zhang Chun... Wait, why? Why? Terrified? And Zai Zhe, whose face was red and seemed to be in a daze, and the black-haired boy who was bending down to grab someone's legs from the ground, then slowly stood up and threw the body in his direction.
"Brother Water Monster! Guess what I threw over here? A carpet, garbage, or? A corpse?"
Cui Zhiyong wanted to dodge, but then he saw the figure flying over and rushed to catch it. His expression was very similar to Zhang Chun's, "Who is this?! It's Mingji!!"
Chu Xiuyan frowned and listened attentively with a serious expression, "What? Fruit? How is that possible? I threw such a big one over there, it can't be a fruit no matter how you look at it, Brother Water Monster, you are not smart."
Cui Zhiyong: "What? What? What are you talking about? "
Zhang Chun pinched the boy's ear, asked him to turn around and look at him, then he spoke slowly, word by word, "Yun Yan, you can hear what we are talking about, right?"
Chu Xiuyan listened to Zhang Chun seriously, then burped, smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up, "Don't worry, uncle, I'm not drunk!"
System: [It's over, let's set off fireworks? I made myself temporarily deaf and drunk, double debuff... Black history record begins! ]
