"It's been seven years since you left your hometown, please angelica tonight." - A General History of the Wilderness: Homecoming

...

This time the journey given by the cube was not particularly far, and after a day and a night of traveling, the dawn team arrived at Sunset City at half past five in the morning.

At this time, it was dawn, Luo Wei stood at the edge of the city, his red eyes like the treasures of the gods staring at the bright golden sky in the distance, the poignant morning sun was reflected in his eyes, and a trace of mysterious light circulated in his pupils, but this young man didn't seem to like the false warmth of the sun, and he held his hand in front of him several times, and his fingers rubbed gently, as if he wanted to crush the sunlight on his fingertips.

The sky, perhaps the only object of Honkai Era, is something to linger on, and even if this beauty is meaningless, it is better than the barren wasteland of the apocalypse.

And at this time, under this bright and beautiful sky, a lifeless dead city is lying silently on the desolate earth.

From afar, some of the high-rise buildings are broken at the waist, some are rusted by the rain, only the glass residue remains on the dilapidated windows, and you can vaguely see the old era homes that have been corroded by mold inside.

On both sides of the road are very different scenes, with private cars out of town crashing into each other in a chaotic and crowded manner, twisted noses, scrapped engines, broken seats, rotten cotton, and rusty parts scattered in many places.

The road into the city was unusually empty, but if you continued further, you would see one after another destroyed military vehicles, and if you dared to enter the ruins of the dead city, you would see the remains of armor piled up like a mountain range, and perhaps some corpses that had been eaten by crows to the bones and their military uniforms sewn with red flags.

Xicheng, a sad place where Luo Wei really doesn't want to think about it, let alone come back, is the beginning of all tragedies, and it is also the place where he lost Luo Wei...

Just when the people of the Dawn team didn't know which direction to enter the city, they found that Luo Wei had already walked towards the city with ease, and they quickly followed.

Seven years have made the city where Luo Wei was born and raised a little strange, but every time he walks through a place, he can recall familiar scenes.

Walking in the city, Luo Wei can remember which tree he climbed on, which block he threw firecrackers in the sewer, and even once blew up the entire manhole cover, and was severely scolded by his family.

Walking through an alley corner, Luo Wei remembered that he had picked a puppy nearby, and he and Luo Wei took the puppy home to bathe and give it food, but the puppy died of canine plague, which made the two siblings cry secretly for several days.

There is also the road after school, every Friday is always the happiest time for Luo Wei, when the school bell rings, take the change to the commissary to buy a little favorite snacks, leave the campus in the laughter of classmates, if you have time, find a quiet place to sit down and watch the sunset, and if you are lucky, you can also see the girl you have a crush.

The warm and simple past is vivid, and those familiar and beautiful scenes float by little in Luo Wei's mind, and he is unconsciously immersed in the memories of the past...

When he walked to an open field, Luo Wei remembered the day when disaster struck seven years ago, in that darkest day, he led Luo Wei to break through the defenders' defense line in this place, and was finally blocked by Leng Luan, and the two were separated by the end of the world.

Luo Wei's eyes swept over the armor wreckage all over the ground, these wrecks had lost their original appearance and were covered with rust in seven years of acid rain and bloody wind corrosion, but in Luo Wei's eyes, they were still the great troops they once were.

Vaguely, Luo Wei's vision began to jump, clearly recalling the scene at that time, clearly remembering which area where those soldiers were standing, where shells fell, from which direction the powerful tank was crushing, and even the figure of himself fighting at that time vaguely appeared in his sight.

Eric climbed up an abandoned fortification, overlooking this sleeping armored cemetery, and sighed with wide eyes: "This is the main battlefield of the Sunset City Blockade War, it was here that the Red Fury Fangs broke through the defenders' defense line and fought against Admiral Leng Luan, God, I feel like I am facing miraculous history!" ”

"It's really useless, look at what excites you." Ghost Hand sneered and glanced at the excited Eric and said, "If I had been here, some defenders, some generals, I could have killed them all without leaving a gap!" ”

Eric was about to argue with the ghost hand with his red neck, when he suddenly noticed that Luo Wei had slipped away like a rabbit, and he quickly shouted, "Oops! Why did this young man run around on his own, don't get lost! ”

Twenty minutes later, Luo Wei ran down the familiar and unfamiliar street to a low building, and he stood below, silently gazing at the building.

Eric ran over with the rest of the Dawn team, panting and saying, "You boy, you run faster than a rabbit, what are you doing?" ”

Surprisingly, when Luo Wei looked at this low building, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, revealing a charming smile that he had never seen before, and for a moment even overshadowed the morning light of the morning sun, he smiled and said, "Today... Let's fix it up here..."

"Here?" Eric glanced at the prosaic building, then at the terrain without any shelter around it, and said, "Why here?" ”

Why? Because here it is...

Family!

Luo Wei's hand grasped the doorknob that had already rusted and corroded, and opened the hidden door, although the dust raised in the sky was almost suffocating, and it had long lost its former warmth, but the long-lost sense of home still made Luo Wei's heart throb.

That's right, this is his home, his home in the old days ...

Luo Wei walked around the house, even though everywhere was covered with thick dust, without a trace of life, but in his eyes, everything here has not changed, seven years, even if things are wrong, even if the warm family has been shattered, even if he has lost his mother's kind smile, even if he can no longer hear Luo Wei's laughter, but this is still his home, a place he misses the most.

"I'm back—" Luo Wei's voice was low, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to someone, his face was full of memories and lingering smiles, and when he walked upstairs, he jumped into the familiar room, a room where he had lived for sixteen years.

For a moment, Luo Wei had an illusion, as if his past was a dream, as if he was just an ordinary teenager, going to and from school every day, living a regular life, no longer having to face the apocalyptic wasteland, not worrying about whether he could see the rising sun tomorrow, everything was plain and warm, as usual.

However, this is only a fantasy after all, a stupid, unrealistic fantasy...
