Section I
It's been three days since the Enclave Sea Base was reduced to nuclear dust. After the Chosen One lifted the threat to the entire continent, Sanfan City ushered in another celebratory event for me.
I am getting married today, and the groom is Mai Lang.
"What do you think?" I looked at the bridesmaids in the mirror and asked nervously.
She gave me a reassuring smile from behind, then bent down to loosen the ties of the wedding dress a little more so that the skirt was not too tight and obstructed to walk.
A little over a month ago, I was still living on an oil tanker with my companions, living a carefree life that did little to help others. Our Band ...... Ever since we accidentally discovered pre-war munitions in a secret room in the basement where we often "performed", we have traveled far and wide in search of a city where we can appreciate our talents. On the premise that we don't have to worry about our own survival, we wander around, we wander around, we ignore our talents, we let our skills go to waste, and gradually we don't know how to perform.
After more than half a year of inactivity, the band finally came to the brink of splitting. There are many reasons for this, but there is only one main problem: the performance has become so bad that even the performers themselves cannot stand it. In Sanfan, we decided to do one last performance in front of the martial arts training hall, and if it didn't work out, the band would be disbanded. No matter how courageous you are, if you don't have the strength, you can only leave a grudge. We all know this, but we don't want to end it hastily, at least not to dissolve it in obscurity, but to leave it behind - or at least "the stench" of the whole city. For a whole night, the ethereal enthusiasm, the wildness of despair, the contrived tunes, the metal-like scraping and tugging of the old, high-powered loudspeaker could be heard throughout the district. For a whole day and a night, we can even better understand what helplessness is than the helpless citizens who live around us. After a whole day and night, we finally got tired of it, and the lead singer was the first to drop his microphone and smash the microphone with his foot; After that, the guitarist's electric guitar was smashed to the ground, "XXX's Lao Tzu is gone, Lao Tzu will be a robber from tomorrow!" "At the sound of a splash of sawdust and iron, my Beth also broke into five roughly equal pieces.
"Farewell!" I shouted for no reason, and silently wiped away tears at the goal that did not exist.
After venting, we lay like dead bodies in the ring used to practice, surrounded by frustrated fragments. We might as well live as we died, and I even wondered how good it would be if the overly benevolent guards and overly mediocre citizens could give us a happy end. I thought we would be grateful to them, but we didn't. During the suffocating silence on the high platform, I saw plurality of hands on the H&K grip and retract several times. My hands rubbed back and forth over the box of Mtat pills, wondering if I could quietly leave this cursed, god-and-demon wasteland with a discerning gaze if I could take a dozen at a time.
Then, a miracle happened. Our pile of dregs, which had nothing but jīng's sharp weapons, was not kicked out by the City Watch as a matter of course, but by the Emperor's agent who showed up to invite us to dinner. The interior of the palace was extravagant, with tables and chairs plastered with gold, cutlery made of silver, black-haired servants in odd uniforms, smiling and good-looking, and the food was pretty good, even though the seafood had more than two heads, but that didn't lose the deliciousness of the food. After the meal, the second wave of shock hit the face with the power of the tsunami, the speed of sand and dust, and the breadth of the earthquake.
"What did you say?!"
"You're saying we played really well!?"
"I heard you right!"
"Are my ears still there?"
"Can you please say that again?"
So the Emperor's assistant said it over and over again, until he was almost killed by a few of us shaking and patting.
“…… It was like this...... "Where other creatures should have seen it except idiots and two-headed cows, we lambs, who were obviously close to hell but went to heaven in an instant, suddenly realized after listening to Johan's explanation: it turns out that crazy and unpowerful art lovers are more stupid than idiots and two-headed cows, far more stupid, stupid!" *
* The assistant's name is Li Jian, which is a hidden dictionary. ―BYTS
There are many more dictionaries, and I think it is more interesting for those who read them to find it for themselves, and it can better reflect the differences in individual levels - ST
Something stuck to me. When I was crying out in pain, the bridesmaid gave me an apologetic look: she was finishing up my right sleeve. Next up is lace......
"The Emperor wants you to get rid of the Wannamin ball on the tanker." He looked at the hybrid products of many expressions on our faces, such as surprise, stunned, disappointed, and overwhelmed, and respectfully made a deep thought: "After the deed is done, the emperor promised to let you stay here and allow you to hold a concert on the tanker once a month. "I can't read the expression on his deliberately lowered face, but I can read my own mood on our faces: ecstatic.
The Vanamin Ball is a creature with a body stronger than a wild two-headed cow, teeth sharper than Plankton, tentacles deadlier than a giant mantis, armor harder than death claws, swifter than a wolfdog, and a more terrifying appearance than a mutant. The Emperor's agent has asked us to wipe out a whole shipload of these alien creatures, along with a number of deceitful sea mutants. Even so, between self-destruction and a gamble, even Elvis, the god of rock and roll, can't stop us from making the right choice.
Leave the fragments of musical instruments and scraps to the Emperor's servants, give the map and compass of the arsenal to the assistants, and carry the shellless mid-range support machine gun and hope with you. And just like that, we stepped into the tanker.
