Chapter 39 Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
On the railway, an oval silver train slowly drove out.
[Host, there are simulation staff on board.]
A humanoid?!
Bao Taozi excitedly entered the station and got on the train. Several attendants at the door bowed to welcome her. She had a perfect figure, a perfect appearance, and a perfect smile, but she didn't look like a robot at all.
After studying it curiously for a long time, Bao Taozi finally looked inside the train.
According to the attendant, this section is the first-class cabin of the train, with single compartments and double compartments. The seats are extremely soft and it feels like sitting on clouds. The windows on both sides of the train are similar to floor-to-ceiling windows. Sitting on them, you can choose to watch the current scene or the scene before the end of the world.
It's quite interesting.
Going further to the back carriage, there are sixty-six seats in one carriage.
The round one is said to be a good number, and the deep one is like a peach heart.
Yuangungun proudly began to edit the [Xia Country Host Strategy Manual and Precautions]. Bao Taozi didn't know that Yuangungun earned a lot of system coins from this!
The rear carriages didn't offer a choice of scenery, as they weren't separate compartments. However, they did have floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious, soft silver seats. The trains were equipped with restrooms, a restaurant, and a pub.
According to the introduction, the train takes two hours to reach the capital. It can actually be faster, but the system speculates that people nowadays no longer have the activity of traveling, so riding the train can be considered as traveling...
There was a song playing on the train, it was "Golden Hour". Bao Taozi was listening to the song while sitting on the train. For some reason, she had a very romantic feeling. It was a kind of romance that seemed out of place yet very fitting in this end times.
Bao Taozi listened to the entire song on the train before getting off.
Everyone looked at her with burning eyes, some covered their faces and cried, and some trembled with excitement.
Bao Taozi knew that this represented a big step forward towards the end of the world.
"GunGun, I want to hold a driving ceremony and invite everyone I know. Can you help me send out the invitations? And explain it to the people in the capital so they don't get scared."
[Of course, host.]
In the capital, everyone looked at the suddenly appeared iron bridge with excitement and fear. They didn't know what kind of miracle it was, nor did they know what was on the other side of the railway. They were eager to know, but also afraid. Until a letter floated out of thin air in front of No. 1. Bao Taozi never dreamed that the system would directly give the letter to No. 1.
Number One took the letter with trembling hands, but the guard next to him tried to stop him and was waved away by him.
I opened the letter and saw that it said.
Hello, Leader No. 1. I'm Bao Taozi, the owner of the Taozi Hotel in Haishi Base. I built the railway, so don't be afraid. We'll be in the capital someday, and I hope to discuss cooperation. I have supplies and transportation options, and I hope we can strengthen exchanges and cooperation to overcome the difficulties of the apocalypse together.
Bao Taozi is presented to you.
The invitation letters were also sent to the official base and the veterans' base. When they saw the envelopes floating in front of them, they were all confused, but they also had the answer in their hearts.
After opening it, the contents inside surprised and delighted everyone!
I immediately gathered my best clothes and hung them up neatly. The letter said a bus would be sent to pick me up the next day.
No matter how high an official's rank, he would be as nervous as if he were meeting his young wife.
Bao Taozi has already started setting up the venue for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
At the entrance of the hotel, a high black platform was leaning against the city wall, with five hundred seats neatly arranged together. All of them were rented.
But since we are going to do it, we have to do it well and formally. Next to the platform, there are clusters of flowers blooming, including... red spider lilies.
[Host, look at the bed, hum.]
Bao Taozi looked at the bed curiously, and suddenly saw a big white gift box with a pink bow. After opening it, Bao Taozi covered her mouth with her hands.
There was a black dress in the box. When it was unfolded, it was a strapless, high-slit, hip-hugging design with a long skirt. Red spider lilies bloomed at the end of the skirt. The back was hollowed out in a V shape. Above the red spider lilies were countless small diamonds, extending to below the chest.
So beautiful...
"Hmph, even though I bought this with my allowance, don't be so self-indulgent! I did this to prevent you from embarrassing me on your first official occasion!"
"Thank you... Roll..."
【This is so corny! 】
After saying this, Yuangungun covered his face with his hands and buried himself in the ground.
Bao Taozi caressed the dress. It was the first time in two lifetimes that someone had given her such a beautiful dress...
Finally the next day arrived and everyone wore their most formal clothes. Because there was a laundry, everything was clean.
It was eight o'clock in the morning and the weather was fine.
Everyone was already seated, and leaders from other bases had been picked up by buses.
Bao Taozi also walked slowly through the middle aisle, and everyone held their breath.
Her seaweed-like black curly hair fell down in front of her chest, and she was wearing a black dress, which made her skin look as white as snow.
What Bao Taozi didn’t realize was that with every step she took, red spider lilies would grow under her feet!
Everyone around was shocked at this miraculous scene.
A white-haired old man in a Tang suit smiled bitterly and whispered, "In this world, we actually need the King of Hell to save us..."
People around him just thought the old man was joking.
Bao Taozi walked up to the platform and first welcomed and thanked everyone who came to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Behind him stood the bionic man, smiling appropriately.
"I invite you all here today to witness the first train of the apocalypse! And you will be the first passengers on the train!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
At this time, Bao Taozi invited the chief and the base commander of the veterans base to come forward, let the chief speak, and then the two of them cut the ribbon with her.
The chief cleared his throat and said, "I believe everyone is very excited right now. I am excited too! This railway is not just a railway, it is a road to liberate our Xia country! From today on, everyone's activities are no longer limited to the hotel, nor are they limited to Haishi! What Boss Bao brings us is hope for the end of the world! It is the hope of mankind! Thank you, Boss Bao!"
“Thank you, Boss Bao!”
Bao Taozi was a little shy and said quietly in her heart, "Thank you, Yuanyuan."
The chief and the base commander both smiled excitedly, and together they picked up the scissors and started cutting.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially ended.
Then, they lined up to enter the station, and Bao Taozi also put on a black cloak.
As we walked along, people were amazed. Even though we were mentally prepared, we were still shocked.
The conductor showed us to our seats with a smile. After everyone was seated, the conductor came out and said some auspicious words to everyone, which eased everyone's nervousness.
The train finally departed. Those lucky enough to be seated in first class all tacitly adjusted the scene outside the window to the pre-apocalyptic era. Some even saw their deceased relatives and cried bitterly...
Listening to soothing songs before the end of the world, looking at the surrounding scenery along the way, no one wants to waste a minute.
