I'm not a drama god
Chapter 145 Cai Yuan
Guyuan didn't seem surprised by Han Meng's answer.
He placed a cup of coffee in front of Han Meng, looked at the colorful kites flying in the sky, and spoke slowly:
"Aurora City's kites have always been the best-selling among the nine realms. Do you know why?"
Before Han Meng could speak, he continued talking to himself,
"It's too cold in the Aurora Realm. It's winter here for most of the year. The children basically spend their childhood at home...Only in the month when summer comes, do they have the opportunity to get out of the house and play wildly. It was their happiest time of the year.
Because this happiness is hard-won, parents will try their best to meet the needs of their children. During this month, tens of thousands of kites will fly into the sky every day in Aurora City, carrying the children's expectations and hopes for the whole year.
When summer is over, parents will hang the kite in the most conspicuous place in their children's rooms so that the children will know...
No matter how harsh the winter is, summer will eventually come. "
"...what are you trying to say?"
"No one is willing to abandon the seven regions, but we have no choice." Gu Yuan looked at him calmly, "Look at this city, it is the future and hope of the Aurora Realm. As long as it remains, the cold winter will eventually come. In the past... maybe one day, we can rebuild the seven regions."
Han Meng replied hoarsely,
"But the children in the seven districts have never even seen a kite... It's not fair."
Guyuan was slightly startled.
He was silent for a long time before speaking again:
"The maximum integration and utilization of resources is a decision made by Aurora City in order to quickly promote its own development... I am not qualified to judge whether this decision is correct, but from the perspective of the entire human group, what we are doing now is undoubtedly is correct."
"What does your correctness have to do with me?" Han Meng looked at him, "My people and my subordinates are waiting for me to go back... I don't have time to listen to your big talk here!"
"After so long, District Three has been destroyed long ago. Even if you go back now, you will only face endless disasters."
Han Meng's body shook slightly.
"Except for Aurora City, the aurora in other places in the realm has long since disappeared. It was just covered by thick fog and couldn't be seen for a while...
Within one hour after the aurora disappears, at least a thousand intersection points will be born; within three hours, the intersection points will be enough to pass through a disaster of level three or above; in ten hours, the seven major regions will theoretically be completely destroyed; twenty Within hours, the gray world will completely cover every inch of land outside the city, and no one will survive. "
Guyuan glanced at his watch. The silver hands were turning silently on the star-moon dial.
"And now it has been fifteen hours since the aurora disappeared."
"Who can you save if you leave Aurora City now? Not only will you be unable to save District Three, but you will leave your life there meaninglessly... Han Meng, you are a smart man and you should know what to do. "
Han Meng's hands on his knees were clenched unconsciously, and his veins popped out. He was sitting under the flying kites, struggling in the silent punishment, like a stone sculpture.
……
On the icy permafrost, several figures walked slowly forward along the railway track.
"Dad...I'm hungry." The boy raised his head. The wind and snow dyed his eyelashes white, and his eyes were full of grievance and prayer.
Boss Xu's heart ached when he saw this scene. He turned around and asked his wife:
"Do we have anything to eat?"
"There's nothing else. You dragged us out in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to collect the things." The woman sighed, "If I hadn't picked up two pieces of clothes when I went out, I'd probably have to do it now. Frozen to death..."
A few hours ago, Boss Xu also heard about what happened in the Second District and the West District. He felt that something was wrong and immediately ran out with his family, preparing to go to Aurora City overnight to seek asylum.
He knew that Aurora City might not be willing to accept them, but what if? Now they have nowhere else to go except Aurora City.
They left early and didn't hear any news of the law enforcers going to the station on the way, so they had no choice but to walk. During that time, there were not many people who chose to escape to Aurora City. There were many families on Frost Street alone. They all moved at about the same speed. They walked along the railway tracks in twos and threes, and they had only gone less than five years ago. One-third of the distance.
When Boss Xu saw this, after being silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, running towards the figures walking in front of them.
"Boss Li, Boss Li! Do you have anything to eat? Can... can you share one with me?"
After all, Boss Li runs a cake shop, and the most important thing at home is food. In this situation, he may be the only one who still has some in stock.
Boss Li also had a family. He originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the child behind him walking unsteadily, he took out a cupcake from his bag and handed it to him.
"Take it, it's still far away from Aurora City... Let the child save some food."
Boss Xu was overjoyed and nodded quickly to thank him.
The child took the cake and bit off more than half of it in one bite. Before he could take the second bite, Boss Xu snatched it away and put it away, "Be good, we'll eat the rest later."
The child was also obedient and did not continue to eat. Instead, he asked in a low voice:
"Dad... when can we reach Aurora City?"
"...It's still a long time." Boss Xu sighed, "If there is a train, it will only take a few hours..."
"Even if there is a train, there will definitely be a lot of people trying to squeeze in. We may not be able to squeeze in." Boss Li in front suddenly said.
"Too……"
"Wait, is it my imagination? Why do I feel like the railroad tracks are shaking?"
Just as several people were talking, a sound like deep thunder came from behind.
Boss Xu was stunned for a long time, as if he thought of something.
"Train? Is it a train?!"
Many figures walking along the railway track stopped at the same time. They looked behind them in shock. They saw two dazzling beams of light dispersing the mist. In the haze, a huge steel beast roared towards them!
"It's really a train!!" The woman's eyes lit up. She stood on the railway track and waved wildly, "Save us!!"
"It's a train to Aurora City!"
"That's not right... Why does this train only have one locomotive?"
Praise -! !
Before anyone could react, the lone locomotive roared past them. The strong wind blew up their clothes, and they stayed there blankly.
