Chapter 989 – Mortal Fireworks
The color of the night is getting thicker.
The winter night was cold and silent, not yet late into the night, the streets were already devoid of any silhouettes, only the bright lights hooked to the stars, silently shining under the night sky.
The stars light up the sky, and the lights decorate the earth.
A young man wearing a military coat with leather boots stepped out of the airport, stood on the streets of Shangjing at night, looked at the brightly lit metropolis, and sighed.
Chen Han, hadn’t been back to the metropolis for many years.
He is a standard city dweller, grew up in the city, even his hometown in the countryside did not go back much, if not deployed by the training camp to Anta County, he is afraid that he does not even know what the countryside looks like.
Because of this, when he was pampered and spoiled, he just went to Anta County and lived with Li Deyang in the Forest Ranger Bureau, he wanted to escape countless times, and that harsh environment was simply an endless torture for him.
In these years, he had not seen the lights of the city, and the most he had seen was the starry night sky of the northern land.
And now, he was no longer the spoiled and ignorant Chen Han.
At this moment standing in the streets of Shangjing City, Chen Han’s heart, there is a kind of feeling like a world away …… he was a little uncomfortable.
Just at this time, a black sedan drove through the smooth road and stopped in front of him.
Turn off the engine, open the door, wearing civilian clothes Shao Pingge came down from the car, rubbed his sleepy eyes, walked to the front of Chen Han, beat his spirits, smiled and opened his mouth:
”Chen Han?”
”It’s me.”
”Hello, I’m the captain of Team 006 in Shangjing City, and the head of the Vigilante’s Integrated Personnel Department, Shao Pingge.”
Shao Pingge extended his hand and shook Chen Han’s.
”Good day, Minister Shao.” Chen Han spoke politely.
Shao Pingge was already in his forties this year, while Chen Han was only twenty-seven or eighteen, in front of him, Chen Han was considered a junior.
”Don’t call me minister, in a sense, you are my superior.” Shao Pingge laughed.
”Supervisor?” Chen Han froze.
”The one I’m acting for is the King of Yama of Daxia.” Shao Pingge pointed at Chen Han and said half-jokingly, “And the one you’re acting for is my Da Xia’s Feng Du Da Di, the supreme god in charge of the underworld.”
”You don’t tease me.” Chen Han shook his head.
”The strength of one’s personal strength, as well as the depth of one’s seniority, is not determined by the status of the god that one is acting as an agent …… I haven’t joined the Night’s Watch for a long time, and I’ve only been an agent for a mere two years, so no matter which way you look at it, it’s impossible for me to be your superior.”
”Just kidding, don’t be too nervous.” Shao Pingge patted him on the shoulder, “I’ve read your data, in two years’ time, you’ve risen from the ‘Pool’ realm to ‘Klein’, it seems that you’re very much in tune with that person’s Divine Ruin.
Your potential, it’s unlimited.”
”You flatter me.”
”Do you know what you were asked to come to Shangjing for?”
”I know, Commander Zuo has already personally spoken to me on the phone.”
”Are you ready?”
”Uh-huh.” Chen Han nodded calmly, “When will it start?”
Shao Pingge turned around and looked at the neon city, silent for a moment.
”There is not much time left for us …… to start now.”
The bus pulled up alongside a deserted street.
One by one, the new recruits dragged their luggage and carried their black boxes, and flew down from the bus, looking at the quiet and beautiful city in front of them, their eyes blooming with excitement.
”Hahaha! Shopping malls! Gourmet food! Pretty sister massage parlor! I’m coming!!!”
”Old Money, why don’t we go together? I know a particularly delicious barbecue restaurant, I’ll treat you to a meal!”
”Go go go, I’m going to eat you into bankruptcy tonight.”
”Old Zhao, have you booked a hotel yet? Why don’t you bring me one?”
”Tsk, it’s vacation, who lives in a hotel? Go, brother will take you to a nightclub to open an ace of spades, let’s party all night tonight!”
”……”
Fang Mo, Lu Baoyu, and Li Zhenzhen were the last three to get out of the car.
”Fang Mo, let’s go? Let’s go play mahjong together.” Ding Chongfeng walked over from the side, took Fang Mo’s neck, pointed at Su Yuan Su Zhe in the distance and said, “These two siblings said that they are the King of Gamblers in Jiangnan, and the King of Gamblers in Jiangnan’s waste of time brother, let’s go together to meet them.”
Fang Mo hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, he really had nowhere to go in Shangjing, following the three of them together should be more interesting.
”Zhen Zhen, where are you planning to go?” Fang Mo turned his head and asked.
”I’m going back to the 006 squad station, do you want to join me?” Li Zhenzhen blinked.
The quadrangle of 006 Squad was Li Zhenzhen’s home, and since they were all already out on vacation from the intensive training camp, they naturally had to go home for the New Year.
”…… Forget it, go home with you for New Year’s Eve, I’m afraid of being beaten to death by the seniors of 006 squad.” Fang Mo shrugged his shoulders.
As the words fell, he hesitated for a moment, but still shouted at Lu Baoyu, who was standing alone:
”Hey, do you have somewhere to go? Do you want to join us?”
Lu Baoyu didn’t bring a suitcase, just a black box behind his back, he glanced at Fang Mo and coldly spoke:
”Not interested.”
After saying that, without waiting for the others to react, he turned around and left alone, his figure disappearing into the night.
”…… What a weirdo.” Su Zhe muttered.
”Forget about him, let’s go.”
The four of them, Ding Chongfeng, Fang Mo, Su Yuan, and Su Zhe, said goodbye to Li Zhenzhen before leaving in another direction.
After briefly recognizing the direction, Li Zhen Zhen dragged her suitcase and headed towards Team 006’s quarters.
After about twenty minutes or so, she arrived at the door of the courtyard.
As soon as she pushed open the door, the rich aroma of food hit her face, making Li Zhenzhen, who had already eaten “bad fish cakes” for four months, hungry.
She just walked through the door, and froze in place.
In the courtyard, it was already bustling with activity.
”Baili elder brother, go to the kitchen and help me bring out that fish head soup, right?”
”Okay!”
”Tsk, this roast duck is a bit old, Zhang Zhengting, how did you cook the food?”
”? Don’t blame me, this roast duck is made by Lu Hu.”
”Sister Jiang’er, that TV in our house is broken, can you help us fix it?”
”What about the spring scrolls? Where did you put the spring scrolls I just bought yesterday?”
”Qingyu, do you know how to make fireworks? The kind that fly up to the sky and explode several times in a row ……”
”……”
The members of Squad 006 had thoroughly fought with the [Night Shade] squad, Baili Chubby and Cao Yuan followed Zhang Zhengting to help in the kitchen, Jiang Er started to work part-time as a home appliance repairer, and An Qingyu was sneakily researching on black gunpowder together with the other two young members of the Shangjing squad.
There was no war, no mission, no foreign gods and no “mystery”. At this moment, it was as if they were no longer the night watchmen in front of the living beings, but a group of ordinary people enjoying the ordinary smell of fireworks.
Shen Qingzhu and another member of the Shangjing City team, were leaning to one side to smoke, and when they saw Li Zhenzhen standing dumbfounded at the door, they raised their eyebrows.
”Back? Go in and put your things away, then get ready to eat.”
Li Zhenzhen: ……
