Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 14 Spring Festival Gala on the Radio
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Lao Wang was grunting and sweating, trying to carry the burden for others. Li Jie sat in her room with a sense of loss. At this time last year, she was still calling the chairman "Dad" on his desk. It's the end of the world... She thought she would still have to survive in this way, but Shen Jin gave her extraordinary powers, and Yang Ao no longer looked for her. She helped Shang Qian with administrative work every day, and was in charge of a few girls. She lived a comfortable life. Suddenly, she became... independent, and felt... pretty good.
Zhao Mingkai still tried to chat with Qi Tong on the messaging app, but... Qi Tong only replied incoherently and told him many times that it was impossible, and told him to find a girl who wanted to be with a superhuman and stop bothering her. During this period, Qi Tong went to her home before the apocalypse while killing zombies. There were two zombies, one big and one small, standing in her home. After she buried the two zombies, she cried for a long time...
She finally knew the result of what she had been insisting on doing in the end times. Suddenly, she could not find the direction and reason to work hard. A huge loneliness surged in her heart. She... had no relatives in this world. She only had justice to insist on. Then she found out... Shen Jin was actually the representative of justice and kindness. Everything he did made her feel comfortable. The No. 1 home base he built had no discrimination and oppression, only a piece of pure land. "Shen Jin... we are the same kind of people , right?"
She thought...it wouldn't be bad to follow Shen Jin forever in the future.
…
In D City, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is also very strong, but Zhao Chao always feels that something is missing...
"Brother Chao, let's pack up and go to Q City!" Liu Yang never knocked on the door before coming in, and walked into Zhao Chao's office carelessly.
"Why are you going to Q City?"
"Go find the boss, otherwise what's the point of spending the day with these people! I still have to wish the boss a happy new year tomorrow!"
Zheng Ying also walked in, "Brother Chao, Brother Jin...hasn't he called yet? Will he come over today?"
Zheng Ying, a heroic first-level peak ice-type mutant, had girlish feelings in her eyes at this moment. She wanted to see Shen Jin, the man who rescued her from the sea of suffering, on this special day.
Yes, this year City D is missing the most important person: Shen Jin.
Zhao Chao also felt uneasy, and felt that his position as commander was a bit empty. He was now executing the rules left by Shen Jin, and the subsequent development was also strictly in accordance with Shang Qian's plan. He was just an excellent special forces coach, not an excellent manager. It was the New Year, and the two helmsmen hadn't returned. He felt uneasy, but Zhao Chao couldn't show it, "Don't panic, the boss will definitely not forget us. I guess Q City is busy now... Wait a little longer!"
"Wait, wait a minute. I'm going to go play with the boss. Who knows, maybe we can have a drink or play cards together there!"
Zheng Ying also showed an excited look: "Brother Chao, why don't you give Brother Jin a call and ask him if he will come today? If not, we will go find him. It only takes two hours at most..."
The two captains agreed, and Zhao Chao couldn't stop them. "Okay, then let's..."
"Brother Chao, I'm here, look what I brought you! Hahaha!"
Outside the window, Wu Yong, wearing a jet pack, was grinning with two rows of big white teeth showing. He had a pair of ordinary leather gloves on his hands, an outdated leather belt around his waist, and an ugly big backpack slung across his body. His look could be described as very old-fashioned.
But... the [Craftsman Soul Backpack] is filled with good things, all New Year's goods.
Zhao Chao excitedly led Wu Yong in. Wu Yong directly took out a pile of armor and weapons from his backpack, a total of 50 sets, "This is the equipment produced by the boss using the new technology, for you to upgrade your equipment..."
Then he poured out three bottles of milky white potion, "This is [Energy Serum]. The boss wants you three to drink it. It will enhance your abilities and physical fitness. You must drink one bottle every month..."
Then he took out three sets of craftsman backpacks, gloves, and belts, as well as several iron and stone digging tools.
"Have you noticed? I now have the boss's spatial ability, which is granted by these three pieces of equipment. You can do this... this... this... and that!"
Wu Yong explained to them how to use the three-piece set, and then took out the last gift from the [Craftsman Soul Backpack]:
Noodles and Chinese cabbage for making dumplings, as well as hard... frozen pork, "The boss told you not to forget to make dumplings for the brothers. I wish everyone a happy new year~!"
Zhao Chao's eyes immediately filled with tears, "Boss... you haven't forgotten us!"
"Let me take a look at the equipment first. You can take it back if it doesn't work." Liu Yang was still interested in the equipment. "Brother Jin... he's not coming this year, right?" Zheng Ying's eyes were full of disappointment. Compared to these external things, she wanted to see Shen Jin more, even if... she felt happy watching him playing and fighting with other women.
Wu Yong chatted with a few people for a while, then said goodbye, "I have to go back to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner tonight. See you next time!"
Liu Yang muttered, "It's only about 80 kilometers away. It would be great if we could build a bridge across the sea. Then I can drive back and forth every day!"
Zhao Chao and Zheng Ying's eyes lit up as they looked at the [Traveler's Gloves] in their hands.
…
As night falls, there is joy everywhere in Home No. 1. Everyone is making dumplings and chatting, enjoying the rare comfort in the end times.
The official broadcast of "Tianluodiwang" also specifically mentioned 7 o'clock in the evening. The host was no longer the emotionless announcer of the previous "Tianluodiwang". He was replaced by former Spring Festival Gala evergreens Dong and Sa. The two of them accompanied all Chinese people through this special day with their gentle and clear voices. The official also specially rehearsed a lot of programs, including music, crosstalk, talk shows, and satellite telephone interactions with audiences from all over the world.
"Hello, I am an ordinary resident of City B. I am living well in the official base. Thank you to the country... for not abandoning us!"
"I'm in L City, and I'm a lucky superhuman. Today is the 100th day since I unlocked my gene lock. I've killed 1,325 zombies. I believe... as long as I keep killing, we will win!"
"Hello... Hello, I'm at the No. 1 Home Base in Q City. The managers here take good care of us and give free food to the children. By the way... before the end of the world, I was an elementary school teacher. The New Year is here , and I want to say thank you to those who have sacrificed their lives to protect the children... Teacher Yu, Teacher Jiang, Teacher Qiu, and Principal Xin. The children miss you, and I miss you too..."
"Ahem... I'm almost dying, it's the New Year... I'm another year older, I'm 30 this year, I used to be a second-generation rich kid, I enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the first half of my life, there's nothing to regret, ahem... The zombie tide is about to surround my gas station, luckily... I have a match, hehe... My compatriots, you guys go the rest of the way, I'll stop here, hiss ..."
Some stories, some ordinary, some great, were transmitted to every radio station across the country through telephone interactions, and everyone felt the sorrow, joy, and hope of the end of the world.
After the New Year's bell rang at 12 o'clock midnight, a melody different from previous years but very familiar came from the radio...
"Gently awaken your sleeping heart and slowly open your eyes.
Look at this busy world, is it still spinning around lonely?
…
Sing your passion.
Stretch out your hands.
Let me embrace your dream.
Let me have your sincere face.
Makes us smile.
Full of youthful pride.
Let us hope for a better tomorrow!"
The end of the world is coming, zombies are rampant, and humans huddle together to struggle to survive. In the face of the world-destroying disaster, spiritual will is the first order of weapons for humans to face danger.
After surviving a catastrophe, there will always be light.
"This radio Spring Festival Gala, which was full of joy amidst hardship, may be the attitude of us Chinese people towards hardship..."
Shen Jin took out his satellite phone and called Hu Shou...
