Chapter 37: Hymn of Courage Goodbye, Goodbye
[Topic: "Misty City: Apocalypse" Academy Dungeon Completion Remarks, Welcome to build a blog (Let us congratulate the successful completion of the first dungeon~)]
[When I saw the dormitory building burning, I really felt it was a bit ironic.]
[When "The Mist" was first released, the internal struggle in the academy dungeon was too long, which led to a poor response. Although Lao Zei's painting skills and plot are very good, the plot is really overwhelming for readers. ]
[I heard that the editor almost cut the outline. ]
[This time, Lao Zei T directly omitted the internal struggle. ]
[However, when I saw the burning dormitory building with my own eyes, I just felt complicated. Jiang Huai and his friends don’t know what’s going on now, but as someone who has watched the entire previous film, I know…]
【It wasn’t just compatriots who died there.】
【Because he was afraid to move forward, he died on the eve of the end.】
[The dormitory building has always been a safe area, but on the night of the final battle, if you don’t have the courage to leave the dormitory at the beginning, you will never have the chance to leave again. ]
If the butterfly does not try to break free from its cocoon, it will never have the chance to spread its wings and fly.
【The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage.】
【The greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage. 】
…
[Subject: I disagree with the current forum's viewpoint, because I don't think Li Ming will be an S-level Apocalypse.]
[I don’t think the current mainstream speculation in the forum is correct, because I think the common understanding in the forum that ‘Li Ming will become an S-level Apocalypse’ is wrong. ]
[S-level Apocalypses have been personally confirmed by Lao Zei that their personality traits have certain similarities. Currently, it is generally recognized on the forum that S-level Apocalypses are generally more resistant to stress. ]
【Li Ming has a very high ability of empathy.】
[This trait of his does not conform to the commonality of S-class Apocalypse. Because people with high empathy are generally not good at withstanding pressure, and most importantly: why must the protagonist of the sequel become an S-class Apocalypse? ]
【Bai Shan never said this.】
[The reason why we think Li Ming must be an S-level Apocalypse is simply that if Li Ming is not an S-level Apocalypse, then his influence on the plot will be very weak, and the ending will once again lead to the destruction of the world.]
【but--】
[Is this really the only way to a happy ending? ]
[I agree with the argument in other forum posts that 'Li Ming's identity is definitely problematic', but I think that reality does not necessarily have to be the only way to change the ending by 'becoming an S-level apocalypse'. ]
[PS: Not being an S-class Apocalypse does not mean that he will be the protagonist of the camera in the future. Lao Zei even clearly said in real life that he personally does not like being the protagonist of the camera. ]
【Li Ming will play a role, but not in the way the forum currently thinks.】
…
[Subject: The big guys are arguing so fiercely that I don’t even know how many posts I’ve seen that deny the opinions of other discussion threads.]
【Dazzling.】
[It wasn't so noisy before, but it started to get really loud after the episode about 'Angel of Death'. ]
【Isn’t this normal? 】
[This is our daily life in the Misty Forum (lighting a cigarette). You haven't encountered the most intense time yet. Think back to the later stages of the Blood Moon dungeon, there was always blood and gore.]
[But I feel like we rarely meet CP parties and single pushers in our forum]
[Hasn't the Huai Kitchen next door opened your eyes yet? As for the CP party, the plot party had a big fight with the CP party, which caused the CP party to suffer a great loss. ]
【The current forum is still dominated by plot fans (Amen).】
[But why can everyone quarrel for so long? ]
[Because I just want to quarrel. ]
[Because the world view of Misty is really novel, and the character settings are full enough. The only downfall of Lao Zei is that his plot portrayal is sometimes too profound. ]
【Because I like it. 】
[Because I love it enough, I analyze it word by word. 】

Li Ming felt that he had had a tiring dream.
He collapsed weakly on the sofa in the hotel, staring at the clear sky outside the window and daydreaming: he would never read so many forum posts again. He was so tired now that he didn't even want to move a finger.
"Did you not sleep well last night, Li Ming?" Jiang Huai, who was standing nearby, asked in confusion, "I heard from Xiao Wei that you went to bed very early yesterday. Did you have a nightmare?"
Li Ming shook his head regretfully.
If it was just a nightmare, he wouldn't have fallen to the point of wanting to stare at the sky all day.
He just...
He was simply overwhelmed by the overwhelming amount of information on the forum.
But after recalling something, Li Ming struggled to get up and said seriously to the protagonist of the previous game beside him: "Jiang Huai, you worked hard yesterday."
Before the forum pointed out JAC's situation at the time, he did not realize how much pressure JAC was facing.
Jiang Huai was suddenly stunned.
Then he smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you saying this suddenly? I just did what I should do."
The bright sunshine fell on him, softening the sharp contours of his face and brightening his dark eyes. Everything was peaceful and quiet.
This made Li Ming recall that the person in front of him almost became the most handsome boy in their department.
Jiang Huai is quite handsome in appearance.
"Are you going back to school first?" Jiang Huai asked softly.
Li Ming shook his head: "I'm too lazy to go back. Anyway, I think I've burned most of the things that can be burned. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and then go to the clothing store to get some clothes."
Anyway, the clothes he kept in the dormitory were not suitable for next season.
"I haven't experienced the joy of shopping for zero yuan yet." Li Ming said confidently and without shame.
Jiang Huai couldn't help laughing.
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What are you talking about?"
Wei Zhehan walked slowly in front of the two people with a backpack that he had stolen from somewhere. He unzipped his bag and threw a manual to each of them:
"Look what I found? This is a map of Shencheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhehan rubbed his nose with his fingers complacently. His eyes were still pale, but his whole spirit was exceptionally sunny.
Obviously, the person who is most worried about his situation now is definitely not himself.
Li Ming first looked at Wei Zhehan helplessly, and then finally slowly opened the "Shanghai Travel Route Guide" in his hand.
The map shows several tourist routes around Shanghai.
Although it is currently unknown whether subways, buses and other means of transportation can still operate normally, the map does make it easier for them to find supplies later.
"I saw a familiar comprehensive supermarket." Jiang Huai pondered, "If I plan to go on the highway later, I can just stop by here to collect supplies."
"I remember this one selling camping equipment."
"Wow~" Wei Zhehan suddenly realized something after hearing this and said excitedly, "This is my first time to go on a self-driving tour. I never thought that I could go on a self-driving tour alone~"
This guy really can't get nervous at all.
Li Ming looked at the map for a long time and finally found a comprehensive supermarket close to the highway in Jianghuaikou. Unfortunately, it was in the opposite direction of his home.
In other words, his house is incredibly far from the highway.
well……
Li Ming sighed inwardly. After all, Shencheng is one of the few municipalities directly under the Central Government in China, and its geographical scope is much larger than other cities. It takes him an hour and a half to get home from school, and the current situation is normal...
"Are you still planning on going back to school?"
Zhou Haoyu, who had just returned, also asked, carrying a first aid kit that he had stolen from somewhere.
Li Ming shook his head and repeated, "I'm too lazy to reply."
"Oh, yes," Zhou Haoyu suddenly realized, "Your valuables should be at home. There is really no need to go back now. What about the others?"
Wei Zhehan murmured hesitantly: "I still want to get the game console back, what if I can still play it later?"
"Take away everything that hasn't been burned yet." Jiang Huai responded calmly, "If we rush to buy now, we may not be able to find a suitable one."
"..." Li Ming fell silent after hearing this.
Now it seems that he is the only one who is not going back to the dormitory.
So Li Ming raised his hand with difficulty: "Then I'd better go back. Don't bother you to come back to find me. I'm just going to pick up my phone."
There are also photos of Li Yixi in his mobile phone.
Although the network communication was completely paralyzed, the photo storage function of the smartphone was still usable. But why did he react only now... Li Ming knocked his head in frustration:
You dead brain, hurry up and move!
"Why are you thinking about the phone now?" Zhou Haoyu immediately teased, "It seems that it was a wrong decision for us to let you sleep with Xiao Wei yesterday."
"You make it sound like it's my fault again." Wei Zhehan complained weakly.
"Maybe it's my fault." Jiang Huai continued hesitantly.
Li Ming: “…”
Jiang Huai, don't think everything is your fault!
"Maybe it's because I'm a little scared..." Li Ming said with a wandering gaze, "I'm a little afraid of running into my classmates on the way back..."
Afterwards, his classmates came to criticize and scold him.
"Don't be afraid. I'll call you back if there's any problem." Wei Zhehan patted his chest disapprovingly and said righteously.
Zhou Haoyu had a complicated expression: "Li Ming, have you ever thought that everyone in our dormitory is in the same situation..."
"It's true that something might go wrong if we run into someone." Jiang Huai thought a little slowly, "But let's wait until we really run into someone. After all, it's too early to think about it now..."
"It's my fault, it's all my fault."
Feeling something was wrong, Li Ming reached out and quickly stopped the three of them from talking any further.
He hurriedly put on his coat and pushed Jiang Huai, who was closest to him, towards the door: "Okay, let's stop talking now. The four of us will go back to the dormitory and finish this last section of the journey together."
"Ah? Are we setting off now?" Wei Zhehan asked in surprise.
"Does anyone remember which road we took last night?" Jiang Huai asked with a bad feeling in his heart, as if he suddenly thought of something.
Zhou Haoyu sighed and said, "I remember. I remember. My girlfriend and I often come here to meet."
"When will you bring it to us to see?" Wei Zhehan asked excitedly.
"I think it will take a long time." Li Ming followed up quietly.
Jiang Huai nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Based on the current situation, it is indeed a long way off."
Zhou Haoyu: “…”
"You guys really made my fists hard!"
But even so, everyone couldn't help but smile. On the way back to school, they walked back to the dormitory in twos and threes, just like they did after classes in the past.
"Li Ming, didn't you plan to go home?"
"There's nothing to go back home for." Li Ming said righteously, "The only thing I'm worried about is my sister, but she's not at home, so there's really no need for me to go home. But Zhou Haoyu, are you sure you don't need us to accompany you to find a doctor?"
“Eh——”
Zhou Haoyu shook his head in disdain. "Do you really think I can't find it myself? I have hands and feet. It's impossible for me to starve to death on the road. You should worry about Xiao Wei."
"Xiao Wei thinks Xiao Wei's questions will only waste time."
Wei Zhehan pretended to respond seriously, but soon he shrugged as if he had failed, and said, "Let's talk about it when there is a real problem. In fact, we haven't met many people along the way."
They did not meet anyone along the way.
The winter morning sun was warm, and the morning light stretched everyone's shadows very long. The four college students were walking back to school, laughing and joking, just like they did every day.
only……
When this final journey comes to an end, it is time to say goodbye.
Goodbye, Wei Zhehan.
Goodbye, Zhou Haoyu.
Looking forward to seeing you next time, if there is a next time.
