Su Mingan was slightly startled: "Hmm?"
"Today is December 30th, 48th year of the disaster. Tomorrow is our 'Fuyuan Festival', which lasts for more than half a month." Xi said: "People will set off fireworks and give out silk nets. Red silk nets represent a successful start. Yellow represents peace and prosperity. Green silk nets are given by the elderly to the young, representing earnest expectations. White is the blessing of the dying to others."
Xi hung the necklace on his belt: "If you receive a necklace, you should hang it around your waist. If the person who sent the necklace dies, you should hang it on your wrist."
"Then when I go back, I will have to hang hundreds of silk cords around my waist."
"I am looking forward to that scene, my popular city lord." Xi stared at him: "I wish you all the best and peace and success."
"...Okay." Su Mingan said: "Happy Fuyuan Festival."
He didn't expect that in the end it would be Xi who would spend the New Year with him.
The truck was speeding across the sand. The number of passing vehicles gradually increased, and the rearview mirrors were hung with fluttering strings, like suspended rainbows.
Along the way, Su Mingan didn't know how many mothers and daughters, fathers and sons he saw hugging each other, or couples walking hand in hand.
——The end of the world is approaching, and people may no longer have a tomorrow. They talk about the last attachment in their lives.
The war spread throughout the world, and the death toll reached millions every day. If human civilization ended 48 years after the disaster, who knows what kind of new century would take over this barren land.
Compared with the lifespan of this land, mankind's dazzling history is too short and insignificant.
"Sizzle——" The in-car news was still broadcasting:
[The following is a live broadcast of the war front. We will connect with the vanguard corps "Dawn Army" Corps Commander Su Lin - Ding Di... Corps Commander, Corps Commander Su Lin, can you hear me? Can you describe the situation on the war front for us? ]
Su Mingan cheered up.
"Sizzle——" A strong electric current sound came from the radio. After a moment, a cold voice came out. It was Su Lin:
"Still doing live broadcast? Is there something wrong with the leader of Doomsday City? It's unknown whether Actor is dead or alive, and you still have the mood to do this. I think in a few decades, the ones who will join him will be you, a bunch of good-for-nothings—"
"Click" the broadcast was interrupted in time, and the announcer's somewhat embarrassed voice came out: [Ah, it seems that the legion commander is not very willing to be interviewed... Uh, let's interrupt with the latest news. ]
[The supreme leader of the Freedom Camp, Lord of Doomsday City, Asa Akto, has entered the City of God for negotiations. He has bought us a full fourteen hours of buffer time.]
[Perhaps we should reflect on whether there are any differences between bionic bodies and humans. This famous city lord has helped us all the way to the current situation of confronting the gods head-on. Should we think about whether this land belongs only to the race called "humans"...]
Su Mingan closed his eyes slightly.
"Xiao Shuai, everyone knows now that you delayed the nuclear explosion for us." Xi noticed that Su Ming'an was in a bad mood: "Look, three hours have passed, and the next nuclear explosion has not happened yet. Maybe we can really win."
"...Yeah." Su Mingan looked grim. The lack of oxygen and blood loss were affecting him.
He coughed and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Suddenly, a white shadow passed by the window. His scalp instantly went numb and a strong panic gripped his brain.
"——Lin Guang is outside the car!" He quickly closed the car door and raised the muzzle of the Glory shotgun in his hand.
"What?" Sen was so scared that he stepped on the accelerator and accelerated immediately.
Su Mingan stared at the figure outside the window nervously. Lin Guang seemed to be getting closer and closer to him...
He gripped the gun handle tightly, his fingers turning pale.
But the next moment he blinked, Lin Guang disappeared. He was startled, but he could no longer see Lin Guang.
AI Yeya's calm voice sounded: [Doctor, I didn't detect any trace of life. You must have seen it wrong.]
Su Mingan was slightly stunned.
“…Is this a mistake?”
He leaned against the window glass, with the Hunt of Glory in his hand hanging slightly.
He pressed his palm against his heart, and felt a lingering pain like moisture. He was very familiar with this feeling, and whenever he lowered his head, he almost fainted.
[Doctor, you should rest. Your mental state has been irreparably damaged.] AI Yeya reminded.
Beside him, Xi looked at him with a worried look on his face. Xia Sheng in the front row also turned his head.
Su Mingan's fingers flashed white, and three red and white capsules appeared at his fingertips. He had made some medicine in the laboratory. Now was the final battle, and he couldn't let his mental state affect his decision.
The more times this [Type II Mental Capsule] is used in a short period of time, the better the therapeutic effect will be. As for adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, headache and emotional dullness, they are all symptoms that can be overcome.
Ten minutes later, Su Mingan clearly felt that the colors of his vision became brighter.
In my ears, I could hear Xi's mumbling voice constantly, and her voice had a silky texture.
"Xiao Shuai, I wish you peace and happiness." Xi held his cold hand tightly: "I wish you peace and happiness..."
She kept repeating it, her brows drooping, as if she was about to cry.
Perhaps during the century-long catastrophe more than forty years ago, Akto was also so reckless that he would often put himself on the verge of death.
"I'm fine." Su Mingan's voice became even hoarser.
Xi didn't say anything.
Not far away, the high-rise buildings of Doomsday City were already vaguely visible, like giants standing tall under the bloody sun, firmly supporting a safe area. Cars were coming and going at the entrance, and the outer shells of the vehicles were stained with blood, loaded with source stones exchanged for lives.
