Chapter Seventy-Five: An Elegy for Civilization

The hands of time, turning rapidly, point to October 31, ten days have passed since the bloody rain in the sky.

On the twenty-fourth, on the third day after making contact with Zhucheng, the Blue Spirit base spaceship fell from the sky and loaded more than 93,000 survivors of Qingcheng into it. The moment they entered the spaceship, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense nerves were finally temporarily relieved.

Qingcheng, Zhoucheng, Zhucheng, Chuncheng, Ningcheng, the five great cities where the survivors of the Tianxia Empire gathered, were all destroyed in the zombie frenzy, and when it was confirmed that there were no more living people, there were only 608,317 people in the Blue Spirit!

This is the number of people in the entire Tianxia Empire who survived the catastrophe!

In the past ten days, more than 600,000 people have used various means, but still no trace of a zombie has been found!

Zombies, as if they really disappeared out of thin air! At least, there is no trace of the Tianxia Empire's former territory. Everyone knows that this incident must have something to do with the mysterious blood rain that enveloped the entire planet, but no matter how many hundreds of thousands of survivors do their best, there is nothing to do with it, not even a backlash!

The blood rain seemed to have never existed, just a dream, and when the cool breeze blew, there was no trace.

The original size of the Blue Spirit was only 500,000 people, and the overload and the failure of most of the equipment caused several chaotic incidents in the spacecraft in the past few days, therefore, after a fierce quarrel, at noon that day, the Blue Spirit landed again in Zhucheng, which was not too badly damaged, and released everyone.

Of the 600,000 people, Zhucheng accounted for half, and in that regard, it was the most powerful of the five forces, so it unceremoniously managed Zhucheng relatively well, and a piece of land close to the plantation was demarcated. It just so happened that the station of the Snow Peak Hunting Group was located in some areas, and Luo Tian and the others returned to their rooms again.

After all, only ten days later, although there were empty buildings everywhere, the survivors of the other four large cities did not dare to run too far, and as a result, 600,000 people lived in the original Zhucheng and the surrounding area. So, suddenly, the originally deserted city suddenly became noisy and popular, and it gave people a much better feeling.

However, there is no external pressure for the time being, and when there are many people, all kinds of ideas collide together, which naturally leads to many disputes, and even almost escalates into battles several times. In particular, there is not much friendship between the five big cities, and with some intentional or unintentional provocations, the atmosphere in Zhucheng is obviously a lot more tense.

However, these things have nothing to do with Luo Tian. Because, he is taking his two women to watch the sunset.

It was the end of autumn, the sun went down earlier, and there was a feeling of sunset around half past five in the afternoon, and the golden red light dyed the clouds in the sky with different shades of light and darkness, showing a beautiful atmosphere.

"Ah~~ Blowing a cool breeze and watching the sunset is really a great joy in life!" A sigh of emotion was blown away by the wind and sprinkled onto the calm surface of the Xiangjiang River, rippling layers of ripples, as if sprinkled with a layer of broken gold, and disappeared with the spread of the waves.

The sunset, the autumn wind, the riverbank, the robed scholar who laments the passage of life, what a picture full of artistic conception!

But—

The corners of Luo Tian's mouth twitched, and his head was full of black lines: "Hey, I said, God stick, aren't you old man a nobleman, what are you doing here, and you are specially picking this kind of time...... Are you looking for trouble?! While speaking, Luo Tian rolled up his sleeves, squeezed his fists with a "pop" sound, and stared at a certain scholar who felt that life was like water with an unkind face, with a fierce light in his eyes.

Lin Yufeng didn't realize it, and continued to feel nostalgic for life, until Luo Tian's fist was about to touch his head, his expression suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand to block the latter's fist with a smile, and then spit out bitterness: "Hey, don't mention this, those bastards in the other four cities are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they don't stop for a moment, picking provocations and finding faults, and they just want to fight without saying a few words, and then pull them away, and when you turn around, they are staring at each other again, and they are about to fight...... Ahh Brother Luo, you have to save me~~~ The second half of my brother's life is counting on you! As he spoke, he also pretended to wipe a few handfuls of non-existent tears, looking miserable when people saw tears.

Luo Tian's eyes glared: "There are no doors!" ”

"Don't think I don't know what you're having, don't you just want Mingyan to come forward, tell you, no, but, can!"

"Hmph, speaking of which, you guys, it's really unpleasant! You see that others have long been unified in their voices, and they are focused on the outside, just a few of you are still fighting each other internally, it's really ......" Thinking of what he had seen and heard in the past few days, Luo Tian hated his teeth for a while, and he couldn't wait to punch the dead-skinned guy in front of him into panda eyes. Although everyone is the same country and the same nation, when the people of Zhucheng had disputes with several other people and fell into disadvantage, Luo Tian still favored Zhucheng's side in his heart.

Lin Yufeng suddenly made a contempt: "Cut, you still have the face to say!" Your old man is now the number one master in the five cities, as long as you, Tingting Sister and the boss are willing to come forward, won't everything be solved? Boss, are you right? He squeezed his eyes at Zhao Mingyan, who was snickering behind Luo Tian, and the latter immediately rolled his eyes back at him.

"Get out!" Luo Tian punched him angrily. The current matter is very troublesome to say that it is serious, but it is also very simple, to put it bluntly, it is just a deliberate thing made by some guys who are not willing to succumb to others, test the bottom line of Zhucheng people, collect intelligence, and prepare bargaining chips for future negotiations. Luo Tian and the three of them are now at the level of strategic-level weapons, what is the matter of mixing these things, engaging in infighting?

The four of them strolled while idle, and unconsciously arrived near the Xiangjiang Bridge.

"Hey, what's that?!" Luo Tian suddenly let out an exclamation. Following the direction of his finger, a strange shape of steel appeared in the sight of several people.

It is like a huge steel lotus leaf, floating on the water of the Xiangjiang River, and the two sides are only a kilometer away from the two banks.

"Oh, you say it." Lin Yufeng deliberately bought a pass, revealing a mysterious smile, "Guess what, I'm sure you'll all be surprised by then!" ”

"Can't think of it." The first to give up was Yao Tingting, she tilted her head and thought for a moment, then announced that she would give up, too lazy to think about it. Zhao Mingyan frowned at her good-looking eyebrows, and pondered for a moment, and when her eyes fell on the hole in the center of the giant steel lotus leaf, the essence in her eyes flashed, revealing a faint smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Xiangjiang Bridge. Right? ”

Lin Yufeng suddenly shouted exaggeratedly: "Correct solution!" Sure enough, the boss will always be the boss, and your wisdom is like the sun in the sky, illuminating the direction in which we are heading! My admiration for you is like a surging river......"

"Impossible!" Yao Tingting stared at the lotus leaf, trying to connect it to the miraculous project in human history, but failed. "It's two kinds of things, this lotus leaf-like thing can't be seen in the shape of the bridge! Sister Mingyan, how do you see that? ”

Zhao Mingyan smiled softly: "I didn't see it, I guessed it." Look at the big hole in the center of the lotus leaf, is it just the size enough for the Blue Spirit to pass through? ”

"Oh, I see!" After accepting Nagisa's transformation, Yao Tingting not only became more beautiful, but also became more flexible, and once he clicked it, he immediately figured out the problem. In this way, the folklore that the Xiangjiang Bridge can be transformed into a war platform is actually true. Really, amazingly, human ingenuity...... It's a pity that everything is ruined~~"

Yao Tingting's emotion made Luo Tian and the three of them fall silent for a moment, and they couldn't tell what it was like in their hearts.

The few people present were all ordinary people before the cataclysm, because of this inexplicable disaster, they had such power, but they also lost a lot of things, not only individuals, but also entire nations, entire empires, and entire human society.

"Let me tell you about that time!" Lin Yufeng broke the silence and diverted the attention of several people, "Let me tell you, the moment before we flew out of the ground in a spaceship, we clearly saw the process of the transformation of the bridge, it was really-very, very spectacular!" ......" Lin Yufeng is very eloquent, and he describes it vividly, giving people the feeling as if he saw it on the spot, and the attention of the two women was immediately attracted, and even Luo Tian was very curious, and felt quite sorry that he didn't see such a magnificent bridge turn into a big lotus leaf.

The time of relaxation and joy always passed quickly, and after a while, the sun was completely hidden in the clouds, most of the body entered the horizon, the sky began to darken, and the curtain of night was about to be enveloped in the heavens and the earth.

"We're going to take the Blue Spirit to the other three empires tomorrow, and if there are any survivors, try to convince them to move over. After all, there are only so many people on the home planet, and more communication is a good thing for both parties. On the way, Lin Yufeng suddenly talked about searching for survivors from other countries.

"You're all going to go together, right?" Lin Yufeng looked at Luo Tian with hopeful eyes.

Luo Tian was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Of course." ”

"Blue Spirit, how long can it last?" Suddenly, Luo Tian came up with such a sentence.

Lin Yufeng's expression froze instantly, and his smile turned into a wry smile. "I know I can't hide it from you." He sighed lightly and said in a rambling voice: "According to the calculation of the main brain, the remaining energy is enough for the Blue Spirit to search around the home planet, and there is still a little bit left—it can hold on for about five hours after taking off again." ”

"Under this drastic sky, the energy consumption of the spacecraft is far beyond our imagination, and even the main brain only discovered this situation a few days ago, which is also one of the important reasons that prompted us to make the decision to land."

"When the Blue Spirit can no longer be activated, it will be time for us to truly say goodbye to the human civilization of the past."

"I don't know, where is our road?"
