Chapter 40: A New Spring
When all the grain is loaded into the basement of Doomsday Phoenix, the whole Phoenix City is filled with a festive atmosphere, not only because of the harvest of grain, but also because this day is the Spring Festival, the second Spring Festival after the end of the world!
On this day, all the residents of Phoenix stopped their work to celebrate their first holiday since the end of the world.
Since the early morning, Phoenix City has been filled with a festive atmosphere, people try their best to get red paper to paste the Spring Festival couplets on the door frame of their single room, and paste the word "Fu" and "Peace" on the door and the house.
Many women were sent to the cafeteria to help, Phoenix took out all the inventory, including all kinds of canned food, rare vegetables, tons of various meats, and even bear meat from the last harvest, today Phoenix has to make hundreds of thousands of dumplings, buy thousands of tables of banquets, and let every resident in the city have an unforgettable year.
Men's celebrations are more apocalyptic, and dragon and lion dances are just a game for humans who have multiplied their physique. Ten rings were set up under the downstairs of Phoenix City, and the martial arts ring match set up on this occasion was the biggest entertainment for the men in the city. Eight of them are reserved for the soldiers of the Escort Regiment, and the soldiers voluntarily sign up to participate, and after layers of challenges, the soldiers who win the final championship and runner-up are each rewarded with an evolutionary crystal nucleus.
The other two are reserved for the evolutionaries, and the competition between the evolutionaries is even more exciting, and it also attracts the attention of the vast majority of residents in the city. The rewards for the champion and runner-up are also the Evolution Crystal Nucleus, in addition to this, each of them also has a blade tailored by Chi Hua. Of course, Super Evolvers above the captain of this kind of tournament are not allowed to participate.
The champion of the Evolver Ring Tournament was unexpectedly won by Lu Ziniu, but the runner-up was a big surprise, it turned out to be Yao Yiyi, who usually looks soft and weak. As soon as Yao Yiyi arrived in the ring, she was like a different person, from a weak and lovely mature woman to a ruthless and bloodthirsty killer in an instant, the speed after the transformation was extremely fast, and the moves were crazy and bloodthirsty, it was completely a plan to exchange life for life, if it wasn't for the rough skin and thick flesh of the road cow, maybe the final champion was Yao Yiyi's.
When the final award was awarded, Chi Hua presented Yao Yiyi with a huge death sickle. A small woman who looks weak and lovely on the outside carries a huge scythe of death behind her back, and another weird guy in Phoenix is born.
Not only in Phoenix, but also outside the city felt the festive atmosphere.
After the usual soup kitchen every morning, the cauldrons on both sides of the city gate were not removed as usual. Just after noon, the firewood under the pot ignited again, the water in the pot boiled, and instead of sacks of rice, baskets of dumplings were lifted out of the city, and the dumplings were tumbling in the pot, and the fragrance spread far away.
"Dumplings! All come to the line, ten each! A crisp greeting sounded in front of the city gate, and this beautiful sound instantly spread throughout the city. Many people who had been waiting for a long time flocked to the side.
"Why is Phoenix giving out dumplings today?" The old man at the top of the line asked timidly.
"Because it's the New Year today!"
"New Year's Day, New Year's Day......" the old man's lips trembled, repeating over and over again, in these days of difficult survival in the last days, people have long forgotten those festivals that have been deeply rooted in the bones, but there is the soul of the Chinese nation and the roots of the descendants of Yan and Huang in this festival!
How many people have tears in their eyes to bite open the first bite of dumplings after the end of the world, and people once again remember the festival that has almost faded away.
It's the New Year, the new year, and people want to regain everything they have lost with Phoenix!
It was completely dark, but the celebration of Phoenix had just entered the high tide, and the brilliant fireworks rose into the night sky, and the colorful colors bloomed in the sky above Phoenix, and the brilliant colors were like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying into the sky.
In the crowd, Chi Hua held Xiao Yu's hand tightly, and the two looked up at the gorgeous fireworks that rose one after another, and whispered softly, "It's the New Year, winter is almost over, and a new spring is coming......
......
Under the withered yellow hay, a green seedling quietly poked its head out. In a few days, the entire Northwest will be covered in green.
A new spring is coming, the animals that have been dormant for a whole winter have woken up, and the post-apocalyptic humans who have been curling up in hunger and cold for a winter have also gone to the wilderness, eager to find food. Human beings have destroyed this earth to a thousand holes, but in the end, they have to rely on the products of the earth to survive and reproduce.
The people who had just survived the harsh winter had not had time to find enough food to feed their stomachs, so they began to kill each other again.
In this land of Qinghai, it was Tian Ziming's Haixi regime that took the lead in provoking the war. The Haixi regime's troops suddenly launched an attack on the Doomsday Salvation Army's defense line, and the Doomsday Salvation Army lost most of its position within a few days, and the Doomsday Salvation Army's special operations battalion, which had previously been famous on the battlefield, also suffered heavy losses against the Evolver forces of the Haixi regime.
It was also during this battle that an evolutionary unit of the Hercynian regime called the Hidden Dragon Special Combat Team surfaced. The number of this force is not large, only about 50 people, but the strange combat methods and special combination of abilities of this force have left an indelible impression on the evolutionaries of the Doomsday Salvation Army.
This force is never dispersed, and never tasked with frontal assaults, often appearing on the flanks or behind key battlefields, crushing the forces of the Doomsday Salvation Army in one fell swoop, and then quickly disappearing.
Jin Fei of the Doomsday Salvation Army was furious, seeing that the evolutionaries under his command were being eaten little by little, and he looked for opportunities to fight this Hidden Dragon Special Combat Team head-on several times, wanting to defeat it in one fell swoop. But it is more slippery than a loach, and it will never collide with Jin Fei's special operations battalion, and once saw Jin Fei who came to support with the special operations battalion, he even turned around and ran away regardless of his dignity.
Compared to the Haixi regime and the Doomsday Salvation Army, there is no big movement between the Bright Alliance and the Gate of Heaven.
It's not that the two sides have ceased fighting, but the Gate of Heaven has once again adopted a policy of shrinking, and all activities have gone underground, and it is difficult to see the white-robed believers and spreaders of the Gate of Heaven appear proudly during the day as before, and all the strongholds that have been exposed have also been abandoned by the Gate of Heaven, and the fists raised by the Alliance of Light cannot find a place to be found.
The Bright Alliance did not let down its vigilance because of this, but further increased the collection of information on the activities of the Heaven's Gate Church, and everyone knew that Heaven's Gate would never retreat or disappear from the trace. Barry is by no means an idiot, and he must be secretly plotting some kind of revenge.
After dormant for a winter, Phoenix City has once again started its pace of external expansion and conquest.
This past winter, the population of Phoenix has reached 20,000, and the trend of surrounding people gathering in Phoenix City continues. Some small factories in the city have started production one after another, the construction of residential areas in the city has not stopped, and the underground base under Phoenix Mountain is still expanding. A wide passage deep underground also extends from the bottom of the mountain to the outside of the city as a top-secret project, and gradually extends into the distance.
After a whole winter of training and * by Chen Guojun, the Doomsday Phoenix City Escort Brigade finally had the appearance of an army. The unified cold weapon equipment was made by Chi Hua himself, and the unified dark red field military uniform was the first batch of products of the garment factory in the city. With the continuous increase in the number of evolutionaries in the city, more than 70% of the cadres above the company level are served by evolutionaries, and evolutionaries have gradually become the backbone of this army.
Phoenix City's special operations team has been growing up in the tempering of actual combat this winter, from the big battle of bears to the escort transport team to the hunting of mutant animals everywhere in the later stage, fighting to the death again and again, the Phoenix City special operations team has grown into an evolutionary force no less than the Heavenly Punishment Knight, Wu Haiyang, Lu Ziniu, Yao Yiyi, Zhou Tong A group of evolutionaries at the level of Wu Commander are also gradually growing in the direction of super evolutionaries.
But this winter, Phoenix's biggest improvement in combat power came from Yi Fengleng and Xiao Yu. After Chi Hua gave the two of them the crystal nuclei they had obtained from the Lava Python and the Bear King, the massive absorption of abilities allowed the two to immediately advance to second-order evolutionaries. What Chi Hua was especially jealous of was that I don't know if it was because the two of them were firm in their minds or because the abilities they absorbed in an instant were huge enough, the threshold from the first order to the second order that had been blocked in front of Chi Hua didn't seem to exist, and they were easily crossed by the two.
At the moment when the two of them became second-order evolutionaries, it meant that Doomsday Phoenix City had already surpassed all the forces in Qinghai in terms of high-end combat power.
Yi Fengleng was dressed in a cyan robe, and his flying sword flew in the sky above Phoenix City, the wind blew the corners of the robe, and the hair that blew the sideburns was flowing and chic, really like an immortal descending to earth, looking at how many young men and women were obsessed, causing countless people inside and outside the city to bow down and worship, and the name of "Flying Sword Immortal" has spread since then.
Xiao Yu's arm waved lightly, and the wind and snow in the sky rose with the wave of Xiao Yu's arm, Xiao Yu's arm was forced, and the wind and snow turned into a rotating ice storm and swept forward with a roar.
It is undeniable that Chi Hua gave Xiao Yu the crystal nucleus obtained from King Xiong out of selfishness, although Chi Hua did not formally propose to Xiao Yu, but both of them have already identified the relationship between the fiancé in their hearts, and Chi Hua naturally wants to improve his woman's combat power first.
But after Xiao Yu became a second-order evolutionary, Chi Hua regretted it, and his intestines were so green that he regretted it, because whenever Chi Hua's hand quietly stretched out to Xiao Yu's body, he was immediately frozen in the air!
When this spring comes, Doomsday Phoenix finally pokes out its minions!
