Some people say that human beings always ignore the preciousness of things they take for granted, and the most classic thing is the love of the people closest to them.
And the sun above our heads.
Maybe it’s because the sun disappears below the horizon every evening and rises every morning to dispel the darkness. It never comes late for countless days and nights, so people naively think that there is no power in the world that can stop the rising sun from rising in the east and setting in the west.
Genji Heavy Industries.
Xingshen Temple on the rooftop.
Yuan Zhisheng lit a cigarette, and Sakura stood behind him to report the latest data.
"The current element flow over Tokyo is stabilizing. The Astronomical Bureau predicts that we will welcome the sun again early this morning. This is consistent with the news from the headquarters. The black cloud tide will dissipate today."
Yuan Zhisheng nodded, didn't say anything, just blew out the smoke.
He looked down at the city below him that had been swallowed up by the tide not long ago and was almost completely destroyed. He thought that in the face of this mysterious cloud tide that plunged the whole world into darkness, perhaps the people of Tokyo were the most calm, because they had just experienced a "
"Eternal Night".
When the tide that nearly swallowed the entire Tokyo receded, it inevitably took away a lot of things. Many people and things that we thought would be with us for a lifetime drifted away with the tide.
For the first time, the people of Tokyo faced the cruelty of the world so truly.
"Sakura, how are Eri and the girl doing over there?"
"The young lady and the second young master have been at the college. Lu Mingfei also returned to school yesterday. It is said that he brought his parents with him."
Yuan Zhisheng's face twitched. I remember correctly that my father is also in the college now, so the parents of both parties have met about the current situation?
To be honest, it's a foregone conclusion that Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi are together. Yuan Zhisheng doesn't actually hate Lu Mingfei, but this bastard hasn't even proposed to Eri Yi yet.
"Ying, did you just say that Lu Mingfei's parents are back?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.
"Yes, according to the latest news, they originally performed a confidential mission and recently returned from the mission." Sakura said quickly.
"Send a message to dad and ask him..." Yuan Zhisheng suddenly stopped and shook his head, "No, no woman can be so active in this kind of thing, it's unseemly. Forget it, I'll give it to dad myself later.
Make a call."
He sighed, feeling that he had worked hard.
"Master, there is something you may not know." Ying suddenly said, "There is the latest news coming from the college. Lu Mingfei is planning to take Miss to travel around the world."
"Um."
Yuan Zhisheng replied absently. He was still thinking about how to promote the wedding between the two families without losing the dignity of the woman. At least he should get rid of the process of the engagement ceremony.
As for traveling around the world, if the situation hadn't changed so unpredictably in the past few months, Lu Mingfei would have taken Eli Yi on a global trip long ago.
"They already set off last night." Sakura added, "They did not take the transportation provided by the school, and the black tide has not dissipated, so no one knows where they are now."
"Hmm...huh?" Yuan Zhisheng said blankly, "They set off last night?"
After reacting, Yuan Zhisheng's eyebrows instantly stood up. He turned around to look at Sakura and suddenly raised his voice: "Lu Mingfei is now taking Eriki to travel around the world? What does he think?!"
Sakura nodded silently to show that he heard correctly.
Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and his chest heaved violently: "Is there no one at the college to stop them?"
"It is said that the two of them escaped quietly while the black tide was still there."
Yuan Zhisheng's face was as dark as the sky above his head, and the words "elopement" and "abduction" popped into his mind again.
"What on earth did that bastard think? He had to choose this time?" Yuan Zhisheng said angrily, "Doesn't he know that the international situation is tense now and that governments of various countries have realized that there are dragon forces hidden within mankind?"
Ever since the ocean mining company made the secrets of the dragons known to the public and humans were clearly aware of the existence of the dragons, some secrets that had been concealed by the hybrid world were inevitably exposed.
Governments of various countries are not fools. They control the most comprehensive and fastest information channels in the human world. The mixed-race forces always place personnel in government agencies and use the power of the country for their own purposes. Most of the heads of the eight Sheqi families serve in the government.
Now that the secrets of the dragon clan have been exposed, many previous suspense clues can be found by following the clues. This week alone, the eight Sheqi families have received repeated attempts from the Japanese government. The newly appointed prime minister after the disaster even directly found the source.
Zhisheng, had an in-depth conversation, and there was no shortage of hints in his words that he hoped that the Eight Sheqi Family could fight for the dragon clan on behalf of Japan and share the secrets with the government. In addition, as long as the Eight Sheqi Family were willing to support him, he would definitely xxxxx...
Thinking about the government, Yuan Zhisheng felt a headache.
The key point is that the Sheqi Eight Families are not alone. The Secret Party, North American hybrids, and some larger hybrid forces have all been tested and probed by human forces from all sides.
And this is just the beginning.
If the dragon forces hidden under the water hadn't begun to emerge from the water, and would set off a crisis that would shake the world, I'm afraid what would happen next would be a conflict between hybrids and humans.
Currently, the mixed-race world is trying its best to avoid conflicts with the officials of various countries. They now have more important potential enemies.
Fortunately, this dark tide that lasted for three days and three nights made governments of various countries truly aware of the terror of the Dragon Clan.
Anyway, Yuan Zhisheng has already told the Prime Minister that this is just a sign before the dragon king's recovery, and it is also a warning to mankind. If mankind continues to persist in civil war and cannot fully face powerful enemies, then mankind will surely be destroyed!
According to Sakura's report, the results are quite good, and the government has suspended internal investigations and secret investigations of the eight Sheqi families.
I heard that the academy and the North American mixed-race people do this.
He vigorously promoted the power and invincibility of the Dragon Clan, emphasized their significance in this war, and explained the cost of lagging behind at this time.
Even if the official suspects it, the unexplained black tide of these three days and nights cannot be faked.
The Dragon Clan doesn't even need to do anything. It only needs to maintain this black tide to allow the earth's ecosystem to be iteratively updated.
"Report the news about Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi to me as soon as possible!" Yuan Zhisheng said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Sakura said simply, "The Prime Minister asked you to meet today. Are you ready to meet him?"
Yuan Zhisheng glanced at the still dark sky and said calmly: "Tell him that in order to break the black tide, all the senior leaders of the eight Sheqi families have worked hard for three days and three nights. We need to rest now. In addition, it is expected that we will start again today."
Embrace the sunshine.”
This is obviously bullshit, claiming credit forcibly, and the one being bullied is that the official has no inside information.
"Understood." Sakura pursed her lips and smiled, lowering her head to give the relevant instructions to Kaguya. Soon an edited text message would be sent to the Prime Minister's mobile phone.
The black tide has broken people's inherent order of life, and doomsday theories have flooded the world in a short period of time. Who else has the heart to go to work at this time? Even within the family, some people are now panicked.
Even if there is sunshine today, it will take some time to truly recover from the impact of these three days.
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Sakura said softly.
"That would be troublesome." Yuan Zhisheng smiled and did not refuse.
They leaned on the edge of the rooftop, listening to the noise in the colorful streets in the distance, and quietly waited for the arrival of dawn.
The noise in the distance was in sharp contrast to their tranquility. The joys and sorrows of human beings are always incompatible. Yuan Zhisheng didn't know what those guys were noisy about, but he felt that such a world was not deserted.
Time passes little by little.
Sakura glanced at the time and whispered: "The time given by the academy is up."
Yuan Zhisheng raised his head to welcome the morning light falling from the sky.
The sun has really come, and the edge of the black tide is rendered by the rising golden light.
The sun seemed to be slowly sinking from the sky, and countless magnificent golden light pillars penetrated the clouds and fell all over Tokyo.
The black tide of clouds that originally spread like a sea wave over the city was shattered. After a few minutes, the thick and dark clouds were completely dispersed by the dawn light.
"It's so beautiful." Yuan Zhisheng sighed in a low voice.
He looked at Tokyo under the morning sun and thought how similar this scene was to that day.
The air currents surged in the sky, the black clouds rushed and dissipated, and the morning sun rose from the distant sea level, casting billions of rays of light, breaking through the dark clouds that pressed down on the city.
The sudden rise of the morning sun once made the people who survived the disaster feel so unreal.
Countless people raised their heads and excitedly looked at the rising sun that they had ignored for most of their lives in their daily lives. They slowly stretched out their hands, as if to catch the sunlight that had disappeared for three days and three nights.
They clearly realized again how warm the radiance of the rising sun was.
"Sakura, you have to live." Faced with the sunshine falling on the rooftop, Yuan Zhisheng closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun, and said softly, "Living represents infinite hope. Don't die."
"Okay, sir."
…
…
"The world is usually unfair. For example, the earth is round, so the sunlight can only cover half of the earth. This means that the other half of the earth is destined to remain dark for another day."
On this day, Malehe Island welcomed two tourists from afar.
The man wore a floral shirt with large batik pants, while the girl wore a blue and white batik dress with the hem just reaching her calf.
The clothes of the two people are in line with the local characteristics and perfectly blend in with the style of this Malayan archipelago.
Under the blue sky, the sea breeze is refreshing and slightly salty, and tall coconut trees cast straight shades. The man tells jokes in a low voice, making the girls purse their lips and smile.
The air on this small island seems to be filled with the sweetness of coconuts and the mellow aroma of coffee.
They bought two cups of coffee on the roadside. The man asked the coffee shop owner about the location of a specialty shop. The owner walked out of the shop and enthusiastically pointed the direction to them, and then watched the two young travelers leave.
On the island, which regained sunshine after three days, people rushed to tell each other and reopened their shop doors to welcome customers.
Travelers from afar found the specialty shop along the route pointed by the coffee owner.
"Is anyone there?" The man walked into the store first.
"Come on!"
Light and shadow interweave in the store through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the slightly fat boss walked out of it with a smile.
When he saw the two people wearing batik trousers and skirts, the boss was stunned, hesitant and did not dare to recognize each other immediately. After all, this style of clothes is everywhere on the island...
"Boss, do you know a guy named Smith?" the leader said with an elegant smile.
The boss's eyes lit up and he greeted him enthusiastically: "Really you? Come on, come on, please have a seat. You are Mr. Smith's friends and friends of this island!"
He warmly greeted the two of them to sit down in the store, turned around and worked for a while, then walked out with two cups of steaming coffee.
"What do you call them?" The boss put down the coffee.
"My last name is Lu."
"Mr. Lu, are you a friend of Mr. Smith? To be honest, I should have hand-picked these two sets of clothes for you and your wife." The boss said cheerfully, "Mr. Smith entrusted me to mail them to you."
Went over, are you here to see Mr. Smith?"
The visitors were naturally Lu Mingfei and Uesugi Eriyi.
Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "He should have left the island, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Smith is a busy man and is often away from the island, but almost all the people on this island are taken care of by Mr. Smith's family." The boss said sincerely, "Mr. Smith is a good man, and we all respect him and his family.
Family, you are his friend and naturally our honored guest, please give us a chance to warmly entertain you two."
Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then smiled again and said, "Of course."
The boss stood up hurriedly and said: "Wait a moment, I'm going to make two calls. You two haven't checked into the hotel yet, right? The best hotel on this island is owned by Mr. Smith. Please wait a moment!"
The boss turned around and went to make a phone call. Lu Mingfei turned to look at Eliyi and winked.
"That Smith seems to be very popular." Eriki whispered.
"Yeah." Lu Mingfei also whispered, "But it didn't surprise me. Smith has always been very kind to others."
Not long after, the boss came back. He excitedly said that he had arranged a room with the best view for the two of them, and a special car would come to pick them up later. If there was nothing urgent, why not stay on the island for a few more days?
Leave after attending the Island Festival.
Lu Mingfei readily agreed.
Next, the boss took Lu Mingfei to visit the store and said that he could take whatever he liked and that Mr. Smith's friends would have no problem treating this island as their own home.
During this period, Lu Mingfei casually asked a few questions about Smith, and then the hotel's sightseeing bus arrived. The driver was the lobby manager of the hotel, and his skin was the unique wheat color of islanders. He warmly greeted Lu Mingfei and the two of them to get on the bus.
The hotel is built on a mountain, and the city on this island is almost built on the mountain, spiraling upward.
The sightseeing car went up the mountain road, and the lobby manager was very chatty. He pointed out the general structure of the island to them almost all the way, and recommended the best sightseeing routes and sightseeing spots for them.
It was already afternoon when Lu Mingfei and he arrived on the island. It was already close to evening when they took the sightseeing bus to the hotel on the top of the mountain.
Their room was on the top floor, and it was said that it was reserved only for the most distinguished guests.
After dinner, Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows. Turning their heads, they saw the sun disk hanging diagonally on the sea level.
The world returns in the dusk, and the light forms dark shadows behind the clouds. Above the intertwined clouds, the seagulls seem to be dyed in the colors of the sunset, flying across the ocean and fluttering their wings to rest on the island.
They are on the top floor of the tallest hotel on the island. Below them are the shallow grassland blown by the sea breeze, the island town under the sunset, the streets covered with sunset, and the bustling crowds.
It is clear that the black tide has just receded in the morning, but the people on this island seem to have forgotten all the unpleasant things. Just like the weather here, they are always enthusiastic and always maintain hope for life.
Lu Mingfei looked at the island town below, as if he saw a guy named Smith walking among the people on the island in those years. People affectionately called him Mr. Smith, and he faced them with a warm smile.
All of them carry gifts from afar.
He seemed lonely, yet surrounded by enthusiastic crowds.
