Ark, they don't revolve around you

She remembered what the doctor had just said to her.

"Ms. Chen, you have no need, no reason, and no qualifications to care about me."

All her confidence was gone. Chen Huijie suppressed her shame, and her eyelids seemed to feel a little warmer.

No wonder he treats himself like this...

At that time, he was in a very difficult position and reached out to you, not wanting your help, but just wanting you to accompany him.

But you didn't notice it at all.

Just because of your ridiculous ideas, you are turned away and you think this is right!

How are you qualified...! ! !

Chen Huijie heard some breaking sounds.

That seemed to be the relationship between her and Zhuang Ning.

Spilled water cannot be reversed, a broken mirror cannot be mended—this was Zhuang Ning’s answer to her.

Chapter 11: Dawn Shines Like Gold

Kal'tsit couldn't help but frown.

There was another dejected person sitting on the sofa waiting for guests. Chen Huijie had been keeping his head down since being awakened by Mostima.

The room was eerily quiet, as if dark clouds were gathering overhead.

"..."

Kal'tsit understood them very well, after all, she had experienced the same thing herself.

But she couldn't always let them immerse themselves in this atmosphere.

The woman coughed and said faintly: "So, you only know how to be decadent?"

The low voice reached the ears of several people.

They raised their heads and met a pair of green eyes, whose gazes were as calm as an ancient well, making it impossible to tell the emotion.

"Are you willing to watch him continue to sink?"

Kelsey said, slightly emphasizing, "Watching him turn into a monster, an evil spirit?"

The evil spirit of the Tower of Babel - Kal'tsit knows it better than anyone else. After all, they are "comrades-in-arms" during the war.

Deep down she didn't want to see it.

Zhuang Ning is now very close to the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel, but has not yet stepped into that abyss.

Therefore, she had no intention of giving up and said softly:

“We have to do something.”

"Is it because of my age that my memory is not very good?"

Perhaps because of her irritability, Mostima became inexplicably aggressive. "Who said it was irreversible?"

"It's me." Kal'tsit closed her eyes, "Even now, I still think so."

"So?" W also smiled, his smile revealed indifference, "Old woman, is there something wrong with your brain?"

Even Chen Huijie's frown was tight.

"Are you planning to give up?" Kal'tsit gave them a cold look.

She walked to the window and opened the curtains, revealing a scene of setting sun outside.

It was a desolate scene. The setting sun slowly fell towards the horizon, but the night stretched out its hand and dyed the sky like ink.

"I don't know if I'm doing this in vain. A closed-minded doctor must be more cruel than anyone else."

Kal'tsit's body was covered by the afterglow of dusk, and her pupils seemed to be burning. "But I won't give up."

Kal'tsit said quietly: "We have to cooperate."

"Put aside your arrogance. Terra cannot do without him, and neither can Rhodes Island."

She omitted the last sentence.

——We can’t do without him either.

Kal'tsit stretched her finger into the distance, and above the wasteland, she could vaguely make out the shape of a city.

Gantry.

For the Doctor, that was pretty much where it all began.

“Let’s start from the Dragon Gate,” she said.

At this moment, the last ray of sunlight in the distance disappeared and the sky became completely dark.

Night is coming.

……

Longmen, on the deck, Zhuang Ning looked at the city.

Tall buildings stand tall and the place is bustling.

During these four years, Longmen's status in Terra has been further enhanced. As Yan's window to the outside world, its importance is unquestionable.

He once stayed here for a while... Come to think of it, it seems like a lifetime ago.

This is the starting point of his return home, and he will never waver at all.

"Doctor, Rhodes Island has been connected with Lungmen." Scout's voice came.

He saw the doctor looking back.

The night was about to end, and a faint light appeared in the sky, shining on him. The black color of his clothes looked like fine steel that had been tempered a thousand times.

"Let's go." Zhuang Ning murmured in a voice that only he could hear, "Let's welcome the new life."

"I will crush that stupidity."

"Ridiculous struggles, fearless confrontations, and more calculations... Throw them all into the trash can."

He said that he saw the system's task column light up.

[Big Mission: Control Terra.]

[Phase 1, intervention in the dragon gate.]

Zhuang Ning's eyes fixed, and then he couldn't help but smile slightly.

[Task Introduction: Wei Yanwu has lived in Longmen for more than 20 years. Longmen's importance is increasing day by day, and he is bound to be suspected by the real dragon.]

[In order to show that he had no intention of doing this, Wei Yanwu was ready to hand over the position of Governor-General.]

[This is a great opportunity, please seize the moment, no matter what means, control the dragon gate!]

[Quest reward: Immortality.]

[Task Description: This task is easy for you, but if you can accomplish it, you will indeed be worthy of the reward of immortality.]

[After all, you are far from being alive here.]

These words were really harsh, but Zhuang Ning still smiled.

I am not really alive... Is it the system that knows me best? He thought.

The system did not explain everything in the task description, but Zhuang Ning knew it well.

The key to the mission lies in Chen Huijie.

Wei Yanwu spent so much effort to train her and build momentum for her, wasn't it just for today?

——As long as you can use her as your puppet.

It would be easy to throw away what you thought was a good relationship, to use her, to do whatever it takes.

Can he do it? he asked himself.

He answered himself, easily.

With a clang, there was a vibration from beneath my body.

Lungmen has already connected with Rhodes Island.

At this moment, the darkness of the night dissipated, and before him was the dawn as bright as gold.

……

I heard the sound of rain.

The sound of fine rain fell like a bead curtain, echoing in my ears.

It was the same on the rainy night before returning to Longmen from Syracuse.

Texas opened its eyes, there was no rain, the sky was clear, and the entire docking area was shrouded in glory.

Where did I hear the sound of rain?

Texas is in a bit of a trance.

She came here to pick up Zhuang Ning.

The doctor's visit to Longmen was no small matter, but Wei Yanwu entrusted the matter to Penguin Logistics. It was not flattery... but it was indeed thoughtful.

Everyone knows that Zhuang Ning has a close relationship with Rhode Island. By having Texas take Zhuang Ning to the Executive Mansion, it can imply that Wei Yanwu cares about him.

But no one knew that Texas had not communicated with Zhuang Ning since the day he returned from Syracuse.

She returned to the peace she had been seeking, but she could still hear the sound of rain.

The rain kept hitting her heart.

"We are not on the same path. I have become accustomed to the peace now, but there is always smoke and the smell of war around you."

correct.

After she said these words to the doctor when they parted a year ago, she could always hear the sound of rain and always see the man walking in the rain.

Like a homeless dog.
