Chapter 59. There is no future left
"That's a little secret of ours."
Zhou Jinru understood the reason, smiled and prevaricated.
Belinda didn't ask much, and no one could tell what about this mysterious Mr. Ah Guang now.
Now there is still a period of time before the celebration, and Belinda still has a job, but since Zhou Jinru has arrived, she naturally began to be lazy and focus on him.
"You don't have to accompany me."
Zhou Jinru euphemistically said that he didn't need to be accompanied, but Belinda said: "I have to accompany me, this is the order of the Diamond Queen, and you don't want me to be punished, right?" ”
At this point, Zhou Jinru had no reason to refuse, and they wandered aimlessly in the underground city together.
"I'm curious about where the hell this city is, after all, it's not like a mobile city that can run with people."
Zhou Jinru ignored the curious glances of many on the side of the road, and he found that most of the private cars were severely shrunk, except for those large vehicles used for urban construction, and they were also used by public officials.
"At the junction of the former Syracuse and Letania, this was originally a land city, you know, even in the era of Sailing, many mobile cities were built around the world, and not everyone was able to get on the ship, and the rest of the people could only live in the old city, although there was a threat of natural disasters, but no one knew when it would come."
Belinda said a lot, in fact, the subtext is just one sentence, since you can't get in the car, people always have to live, and life has to go on.
"In fact, there are many mobile cities that are not fully prepared when darkness comes, causing huge casualties, and the survival rate of land cities is still higher than that of mobile cities."
She smiled reluctantly: "This is not something to be proud of, the lost part of the population is the elite of the Terra world, we will only survive in the end, if it were not for the existence of the Diamond Queen, we would all be dead now." ”
Zhou Jinru didn't speak, what he heard from Belinda's words was not only the worship of the strong, but also the grace of saving lives.
Serena's strength saved the people of the place, and she has guarded the place for years to come.
"Today's celebration is also to commemorate the appearance of the Diamond Queen in that dark era, she is like a bright and warm lamp, we are just surrounded by the light of the weak life to survive."
At this moment, a bright light flashed, attracting Zhou Jinru's attention, but Belinda didn't care: "This is just debugging the equipment, our celebration must be accompanied by laughter, lights, music, and food and drink, once a year, a beautiful time that cannot be missed." ”
Melodious music wafted through the air, relieving a little tension in the oppressive underground city, and Belinda took Zhou Jinru's arm, and she pulled him briskly forward to the nearest celebration gathering point, which was already full of people, surrounded by a huge electronic screen with blue skies and white clouds on a loop, and floating subtitles of "Wait patiently".
There were some foods on the table in front of them, including meat, cakes, and a little candy that Zhou Jinru was familiar with, and the drinks were also simple drinks, not too high, and the kind with a taste.
Belinda sat beside him, looking up at the large electronic screen, holding a glass of water with white foam floating in it, which looked like some kind of alcoholic beverage.
Zhou Jinru knew that he couldn't drink, and no one could force him, so he found a glass of water and put it in front of him.
"You know, I never dreamed of being as powerful as the Diamond Queen, but there is only one Diamond Queen, and there is no other her in this world."
I don't know when, Belinda gently leaned on Zhou Jinru's shoulder and whispered: "I know that you are not from us here, and you don't even belong to any underground city, you have the smell of sunshine on your body, don't speak, let me lean on it for a while." ”
The smell of sunshine?
Zhou Jinru remained silent, acquiescing to Belinda's behavior, and within a few minutes, he saw the blue sky and white clouds on the electronic screen above his head and the scrolling subtitles gradually dissipate, and a seat appeared, and Serenia walked in from outside the screen, and when she sat down, the entire underground city emitted one tsunami after another.
"Queen of Diamonds!!
"Queen of Diamonds!!
"Queen of Diamonds!!
It was deafening, constantly impacting Zhou Jinru's eardrums, and even Belinda, who was resting beside him, raised her hand and cheered loudly.
"My citizens, I declare that the celebration has officially begun!"
Serea's voice came from the loudspeaker hanging high above the pedestal tower, her voice was as calm and calm as ever, easily overpowering the cheers of the citizens, she just sat there, like a majestic mountain!
This is the real mountain!
Zhou Jinru let out an exclamation, and Belinda beside him had already picked up the cup in his hand and took a big sip, and he didn't know what kind of drink it was, but Belinda, who had taken a sip, had an intoxicating flush on her cheeks, and she was even weaker and boneless on his body.
"Belinda! Belinda! ”
Zhou Jinru had no choice but to hold her, so that the girl would not sleep directly on the ground.
He took the time to grab the wine glass and smell it, there was almost no smell of wine, the drink was as light as water, and then looked at Belinda, who was like an octopus, and said to himself, is this just that the wine is not drunk and everyone is drunk?
"Don't be nervous, ordinary alcoholic beverages don't work at all for fighters like us, and the one she drank with something added to it was the kind that could get a good night's sleep."
Scorpion, the captain of the seventh combat team of the DL group, didn't know when he appeared on their side, and looked at the embarrassed Zhou Jinru with some amusement.
"I thought someone like you would never refuse a woman to throw herself into her arms."
He smiled playfully, as if Belinda wasn't his team.
Zhou Jinru couldn't do it, and there was no place to place a woman who was drinking and lying down, so he had to hold her temporarily and slowly move out of the crowd.
"To be honest, it's not a funny joke."
Zhou Jinru said sincerely.
As a professionally educated adult, he has enough self-control to control his behavior.
Who can touch and who can't, he knows it clearly in his heart.
Scorpio tilted his head: "Let's find a place for Belinda to sleep well." ”
"I agree, let her sleep alone."
Zhou Jinru had to add another sentence, he adjusted his posture and held the girl in his arms.
There was a temporary resting place less than two hundred meters away, and under the strange eyes of a crowd, Zhou Jinru put Belinda in a single room, quickly walked out and closed the door, and there was a scorpio standing at the door, with his back against the wall and a barbecue cigarette in his mouth.
"I haven't seen a barbecue cigarette in a while."
The scorpion just held it in its mouth, did not ignite it, and bit the filter and said: "Luxury, we don't have it here, we have to buy it from other underground cities, it is very rare." ”
"I can't enjoy it, I don't smoke."
Zhou Jinru's hand pressed the door a few times, and found that the door lock was very tight, and he was finally relieved.
Scorpio lamented, "That's a pity. ”
"Why didn't you show up in the first place, aren't you afraid that I'll fake it?"
Scorpio raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then Belinda is so happy, she originally thought so, don't look at me, I'm just passing by, and besides, you should agree to her request, believe me." ”
Pass by?
Zhou Jinru didn't believe a word, he played haha and diverted the topic: "The celebration is underway, why don't you get involved?" ”
"Not interested."
Worries, worries, sadness, and even a little bit of fear.
Zhou Jinru analyzed Scorpio's emotions, and he was so pessimistic in the celebration, which was in stark contrast to the citizens who were in full swing outside.
"You need help?"
"I don't need to."
"Really?"
Scorpio glanced at Zhou Jinru and walked out: "Have fun." ”
Have fun?
How is it possible to have fun in this situation?
Zhou Jinru glanced back at Belinda's room, he pressed the door twice more, found that the door was closed very closely, and then quickly chased after it.
However, by the time he chased him out of the makeshift resting spot, the Scorpio had already blended into the crowd and disappeared.
"!"
His eyes were full of joy, Zhou Jinru couldn't tell where the scorpion was, he turned around angrily, and faced a pair of eyes full of resentment with a little anger.
Belinda.
She wasn't drunk.
Standing behind him in rags, the zipper on his chest was open, revealing a little hideous scar, and people couldn't help but want to see the whole picture.
"You don't like me?"
"It's not."
Zhou Jinru really had a headache and had two big ones, and he didn't use a good tone when he refused.
He looked at her: "If you want to emphasize this aspect of the problem, now is the time to do it!" ”
"What's wrong with me?!"
Belinda took a step closer.
Zhou Jinru noticed that her mood was not right, and immediately began to guide, holding her shoulders with both hands, and said loudly: "Listen, I am doing something very important, you must cooperate with me!" ”
His words were full of power, and the sound was so powerful that even the noise around him overwhelmed Belinda's mind.
This is the power of emotions, people are emotional animals, except for those emotionless robots, he can easily reach the point of controlling the emotions of others.
But Belinda's next sentence made him dumbfounded.
"I think I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, why don't you satisfy me?"
It turns out that he can only control his emotions, but not the thoughts in the hearts of others.
"Didn't you know what happened to Scorpio at all these times? I don't think his mood is very high, and I'm worried about what he's doing stupid. ”
"He won't, since the day we were combatants in the underground city, our lives have belonged only to the Diamond Queen."
Belinda shook her head and zipped up her blouse, her eyes full of the meaning that you didn't cherish just now, and now you don't have a chance.
In this regard, Zhou Jinru could only smile bitterly.
"Take me to the sting."
However, his request was denied.
"It's a time of celebration, it's full of laughter, don't talk about work."
Belinda took his hand and tried to blend in with the crowd.
She said seriously, "Since you have rejected one of my requests, you should dance with me now, okay?" ”
Facing the mournful beauty, Zhou Jinru sighed, his heart softened for a while, dance a dance, how long can it take?
With their palms resting lightly on Belinda's waist, they join the crowd dancing to the music and become part of the sea of joy.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at dancing."
Belinda lay on Zhou Jinru's shoulder, her lips gently biting his ears.
Zhou Jinru turned her head slightly and let go of her red lips: "Fortunately, this is just a dance." ”
However, Belinda's next words deformed his movements.
"I live in the land city of O'Ou in Letania, if you are interested, you can go to me."
Zhou Jinru almost stumbled and fell, repeating: "Aoou? ”
"I stayed in O'Ou until I was eighteen years old and I never left my hometown before that."
Belinda was drunk, and her whole person hung on Zhou Jinru's body, and her tone was full of grievances: "Why don't you like me, don't you think I'm the kind of woman who doesn't do anything?" ”
"I've never thought of it that way."
"Then why are you rejecting me? Everything is of my own free will, and you can't satisfy me even this little wish? ”
Zhou Jinru sighed: "Since you already know my identity, then I can't hurt you, after a while, there will be endless regrets." ”
Belinda hugged Zhou Jinru, the dance steps of the two had long stopped, and when they slowly walked out of the crowd of various dances, he found that his shoulders were wet.
"Why are you crying?"
"Ah Guang."
Zhou Jinru responded: "Huh? ”
"Ah Guang."
"Hmm."
Belinda held his face in both hands, her eyes were red, and her pretty face was streaked with tears.
"Let's do it, I want to do it once."
"It's not appropriate."
"Just once."
"No, you still have your own future, I don't have a future here."
Belinda smiled sadly: "No, Ah Guang, you are wrong, I have no future." ”
"What?!"
Zhou Jinru suspected that he had misheard.
"I said, I don't have a future!"
This time, he heard it well.
The ground under his feet trembled slightly, and even the light above his head began to flicker, but the citizens who were caught in the carnival behind him were unmoved, still dancing tirelessly, venting their whole body energy.
"What do you say, there is no future?"
Belinda didn't say anything, she hugged Zhou Jinru very tightly and tried to kiss him.
The tremors on the ground became more and more intense, and it became extremely difficult to even stand.
In Zhou Jinru's field of vision, those citizens who were laughing and dancing seemed to be blown through the wheat field by a strong wind, falling down in pieces.
"There's just no future, don't you understand, this is the last celebration."
