Li He appeared, and for Mulberry Quinoa, who had been very anxious in his heart, it was like a person with a sudden illness getting a good medicine to relieve his symptoms, but this was far from the time when the medicine was cured.

Just when Sang Quinoa was still nervous in her heart, her eyes wandered a little from time to time, and no matter what kind of mood and state she was, the ceiling on the venue had been removed, the venue was quickly rearranged, and the people who came to attend the ceremony were quickly in place, and the celebration began.

Mulberry adjusted his breathing vigorously, followed Gao Yang's side, and prepared to walk out from behind the curtain.

"Don't be nervous." Gao Yang had already seen the state of Mulberry in his eyes, and in his opinion, it was impossible for a 15-year-old girl not to be nervous on such an occasion, so he put a hand on Mulberry's shoulder, looked at her with sunny eyes and said, "Really don't be nervous, you are already very good, believe me, you have a trait born for big scenes." ”

Sang Quinoa looked at Gao Yang, although Gao Yang misunderstood her mind a little, but looking at Gao Yang's sunny and handsome face, as well as his warm palm, Sang Quinoa did feel a kind of strength. She laughed and said, "Thank you, you look super handsome today, if time can go back to the past, maybe I will become your fan too." ”

Gao Yang also laughed and said: "Do you know that your smile is incomparably brilliant, no matter how big a female star is, her smile is not as pure and brilliant as you, their laughter is a skill, and your laughter, how to say, is unadorned." Okay, let's not flatter each other either, when you're ready, let's go. ”

After Gao Yang's words were finished, they also received the director's instructions in their headsets, Gao Yang confidently turned around and walked out of the curtain, Sang Quinoa exhaled and walked out with him. As the curtain opened, in the late summer sun, Paradise Island Fortress also ushered in such a grand ceremony for the first time.

And the good looks of the male and female hosts, especially Gao Yang's fame before the disaster, also instantly ignited the venue, and a deafening applause broke out in the crowd who came to watch the ceremony.

And director Kang Xingjian and assistant Ye Xiang stood in front of the big screen behind the scenes, and Kang Xingjian's face was still very tight.

"Director Kang," Ye Xiang seemed to be comforting Kang Xingjian, and seemed to be showing off his star, saying: "Just listening to the applause, you will know how the scene is effected." Frankly, without us, Ayang, this humble celebration would be no different from an open-air performance on a village stage. Alas, the celebration should still be held at night, the atmosphere during the day is much worse. ”

"At night, then you have to have enough lights and a stage, with the current conditions, it's not as good as a village stage at night." Kang Xingjian replied angrily, as an internationally renowned director, of course he knows that the effect of the night performance is completely different from the effect of the afternoon performance, but as he said, there must be conditions.

"No way!" Kang Xingjian suddenly shouted, took the wheat and said, "Mulberry, your eyes are floating!" What are you looking for? Hurry up and get into the groove, this isn't a dress rehearsal anymore! ”

Mulberry's gaze raced through the crowd, and it wasn't until she saw the familiar figure in a very inconspicuous corner that her smile really bloomed.

"Commander Liu, Chief Di, gentlemen, ladies ......" Gao Yang used his magnetic and infectious voice to start the opening remarks of this celebration with full of energy and seconds.

And Mulberry was a second or two late, maybe less than two seconds, but it was indeed a little delayed than Gao Yang, but her bright smile with a little embarrassment solved everything, and no one felt that she didn't play well, but waited for her with tolerance. Mulberry Quinoa's host, whether it is the tone or the situation, does not have the high standards of a professional background, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she still easily caught the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Family, no matter how much suffering we have experienced, no matter how many tears have been shed, no matter how much grief and despair we have experienced, we can sit together today and participate in this grand celebration, we are ...... Good afternoon, family, family. ”

Her voice is calm, and there is a kind of pain that does not match her age in the calm, but because of her age and her hopeful eyes, in the pain, it gives people the strength to look up even if they are in tears, and the sentence "Family, good afternoon" is really plain like a commonplace afternoon, everyone wakes up from a nap, or a greeting on the way to work, just that kind of déjà vu ordinary, it is enough to make people cry.

"Shet!" Kang Xingjian roared backstage, "This is not a well-written host speech!" Little girl, don't! Didn't let you improvise! ”

"Yes, we are family." Gao Yang quietly picked up Mulberry's words, as if this was the line they had prepared, and then said: "The disaster has left us with nothing, we have nothing to lose anymore, and all that remains is hope." ”

"We lost our city overnight, but we also built this powerful fortress in the shortest possible time, which is our common home, but it will not be our last home. The huge defensive wall in front of us is the end of this suffering and the beginning of a new life. ”

"Next, let us welcome Brigadier General Liu Zhiyuan, the commander of our Commander, with the warmest applause, to deliver a speech for the celebration!"

Brigadier General Liu Zhiyuan walked onto the stage in a military uniform and walked on the stage steadily, he took the microphone handed to him by Sang Quinoa, patted her face with a smile, and said, "Little girl, you have finished what I want to say." Then he said, "But you spoke very well, and I am glad to have such a family as you." ”

After speaking, Brigadier General Liu Zhiyuan turned around, faced the audience, held the microphone, was silent for a while, and said: "Frankly speaking, this is not a moment to be happy about. The two presenters have already made it clear that we have lost everything. This defensive wall is our last barrier, but this last barrier is not in front of our eyes, but in our hearts. Everybody...... Family, to borrow the title of the little girl, I also hope that we, the survivors who have survived until now, can really protect each other and support each other like family, our situation is not optimistic, and a new life is out of reach, now, the most important thing is to persevere. ”

Brigadier General Liu Zhiyuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, although it did not make people's blood boil as soon as he opened his mouth, and even when Gao Yang and Mulberry's shouts aroused people's desire for the future, Liu Zhiyuan's words still gave people the feeling of pouring a basin of cold water on their heads. However, everyone knows that there is nothing false in what he said.

"Why this celebration?" Liu Zhiyuan continued: "At first, I was against it. We didn't stop fighting for a moment, every day, even every hour, we had heroic warriors dying, and even now, outside the defensive walls, there were hundreds of thousands of mutants wandering, looking for the slightest possibility of entering the fortress. And no matter how tall and strong this wall is, there is no guarantee that we will be absolutely safe. Since the outbreak of this disaster, no place in this world, this planet, is absolutely safe. ”

The whole venue was silent.

After a slight pause, Liu Zhiyuan continued: "Maybe tomorrow, maybe it's the next second, this seemingly tall and solid defensive wall will collapse before our eyes, and the horror we have experienced will circulate in front of us infinitely, until our flesh is devoured." But as far as I am concerned, as long as my body still feels pain, as long as there is a chance to live in front of me, I will not give up.

I don't just want to live, I want to live as a real person, I won't give up the opportunity to live, but I will never give up the last dignity of being a human being, a normal person in a civilized society, just to live.

And this is the wall in our hearts, and as long as this wall does not fall, we will not lose the last hope. Now, let's all raise our heads and enjoy the show prepared for us by the actors who have worked hard to rehearse, I said, this is not a moment to celebrate, but in order to truly celebrate the arrival of that day, we need music, we need dance, we need all the art that has moved us and made us happy, which is also the proof that we are alive! ”

As Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand to draw a rest, there was a burst of thunderous applause in the audience, almost everyone's face was full of tears, and some people even couldn't cry anymore, but all of them also slapped their palms with all their might, even if their palms were red and painful, no one cared.

"Hmph, that's really emotional." In the background, a pair of eyes stared at the screen faintly, and a cold voice slipped like a snake in the applause: "These inspiring words are the usual tricks of liars, and only the revelation of the true God is the true essence of this judgment." It's just that you are right about some things, collapse, terror, death, these things, not a single fool who refuses to convert to the true God will not be able to escape. ”

"Next, I would like to invite our superstar, the real superstar, Mr. Gao Yang, to bring you a song composed and lyrics by himself, "Uninvited Guest, Please Come to Me for Dinner", and I hope that when our door knocks, you and I, who have never known each other, can get a goodwill for dinner. Please—Gao Yang! ”

Mulberry gave Gao Yang a hug with her eyes, then gave him the stage, and when she walked behind the scenes with her long skirt in her hand, she looked at the remote corner again.

That familiar figure, no longer there.

For a moment, Mulberry even worried that the figure had never appeared, and what he saw before was just an illusion he wanted to see.
