At 8 o'clock in the evening, all 100 gang members gathered.
Everyone's faces were filled with excitement. Although they had occasionally had dinner together after coming to the Highway 3, they were all at the Little Hedgehog buffet restaurant.
I didn't have a strong sense of belonging in my heart, but today was different! I came to the territory that belonged to my own gang!
Even though this area is still barren, just a piece of yellow earth, without bright houses, neatly arranged tables and chairs, or even sheds to shelter from the wind and rain, everyone still gathers around the makeshift bonfire with lights in their eyes.
Qi Xu also looked at the bonfire in front of him, a little dazed.
This scene felt strangely familiar, and it naturally reminded me of the scene in Area 01. I superimposed the figures of the people behind the campfire with those of the players in Area 01...
For a moment, my head hurt badly.
Having witnessed Amei Spider's broken leg, A Snake being struck by lightning, Xiao Hei vomiting blood, Qiuqiu's broken string...how could Qi Xu still not understand?
I stopped associating with things instantly, and the pain in my head lessened a lot.
Then he focused his attention seriously on the 99 gang members present.
Everyone gathered in groups of three or five, their faces brimming with happiness. Some held up army canteens filled with clean water, clinking them together with a crisp sound. Others, by the flickering light of the fire, used tree branches to draw the future of their gang on the yellow earth...
No one mentioned the current simplicity of the place. They just felt that this place, which was their own turf, was lively and heartwarming.
What is a true Noah's Ark? It is not only able to isolate the dangers outside, but also to bring warmth to a group of people in the desolate place. They regard a piece of yellow earth as a home where they can take root. Even if there is no decent roof, as long as their hearts are together, they are not afraid of wind and rain.
Qi Xu was already emotionally on the verge of tears before she even said anything. She smiled and suppressed her tears for a long time before she regained her bossy demeanor.
The people closest to Qi Xu all felt the boss's sensitive emotions and deliberately made jokes and tried to change the subject, but in fact they were also filled with emotion in their hearts.
Qi Xu adjusted himself, stood up and prepared to speak, but the moment he did, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at Qi Xu intently.
The old white dragon in the waves roared, "Let's applaud and welcome the boss to speak!"
In an instant, applause and laughter broke out everywhere, and even the flames of the bonfire seemed to jump at the heat.
Zhiqi Xu pressed his hands down and returned to silence again.
"Today is our gang's first big gathering."
Qi Xu's resolute and focused gaze swept across every shining face by the campfire, and his voice was filled with warmth.
"The land beneath our feet is barren, but the one hundred of us are united in spirit. Before, when we had a meal together in a buffet restaurant, it always felt like there was something between us. But here on our own turf, even if we're just sitting around a fire, it's a real 'family dinner' for us.
The name of the gang is Zhan Tu, which means to cut through the thorns and dangers on the road to survival, to split open the fog and obstacles on the road ahead, and to cut through the cowardice and confusion of each person when walking alone. With the gang as the blade and all of us as the front, we will fight our way out of despair.
From now on, all of us must not only protect this piece of land, but also ensure that each of us, on this road to survival, has a place to turn back and find a home, and move forward together, as far as we can, okay! "
