Inside the actors' lounge, two girls leaned against the window and watched the general give his speech on the viewing platform.
For most people who woke up before the war, they didn't personally experience the rise of NAC, but they weren't unfamiliar with that period of time because the veterans always talked about it to the newcomers. Even if they didn't actively ask, they would still hear a lot.
For NAC General Jiang Chen, almost all the "civilized people" who woke up from the hibernation chamber had special emotions.
And the common point of all these emotions was curiosity.
"A perfect speech …"
The speech was over, and the host already took over the microphone.
It was a bit difficult for him. To guide the atmosphere back to the direction of a celebration was a huge test for the host's skills.
There was no other way, the General's aura was too powerful.
Disregarding the content of his speech, he didn't even need to speak.
For NAC, the General himself was a flag. Just by standing there, he would gather a group of supporters.
Zhao Youyue still leaned against the window and stared intently at the stage. The girl next to her glanced at her and took a moment to process the situation. Then she burst out laughing and teased.
"Look at your infatuated look."
She was Zhao Youyue's dance partner and also her friend or best friend. The two were friends before the war. Whenever it was Zhao Youyue's concert, the dance partner would definitely be there. Because they entered the same hibernation fallout shelter, the two opened their eyes at the same time in the twenty-fifth year of the apocalypse.
"What's wrong with me? What infatuated?" Zhao Youyue blushed and knew she couldn't pretend anymore. She stared at her friend who was looking at her with a teasing expression. "Humph, do you dare to say that you're not attracted to a man like that?"
"What's there to be attracted to." The girl rolled her eyes.
Although she admitted that a man like that was indeed attractive, how should she put it …
He was too dazzling.
And she came from before the war and couldn't accept the prevailing view of marriage after the war.
"I've decided!"
Looking at her friend who suddenly became quite imposing, the girl was shocked and asked in a daze.
"Decided … what?"
"I'm going to use my voice to convey my feelings to him!" Zhao Youyue stared at the center of the stage. Her cheeks were slightly red as she squeezed her right hand in front of her chest. Her eyes were filled with excitement.
What a headache …
The girl facepalmed as she looked at her friend who suddenly became motivated.
No matter what, there was indeed a program for them at the celebration.
In the end, Zhao Youyue's superb performance won the cheers of the audience.
However, this was not what she cared about.
As she walked off the stage, her resentful eyes were glued to a certain spot in the audience stand. However, she was destined to be disappointed. It would be a coincidence if the person sitting there could read the resentment in her eyes from such a distance …
"The voice just now was very nice." Xiaorou leaned against Jiang Chen and said with a smile.
"Yes." Xia Shiyu also nodded affirmatively. "Although the style is a bit novel, it's undoubtedly good. Even in that other world, she would be at the level of an A-list singer. "
"Well, it's not just technology, but culture will also accumulate over time." Lin Lin shook her head and commented.
"Speaking of which, the minds of these singers should not be underestimated." Xiaorou looked at Jiang Chen next to her and grinned. She said with some mischief in her voice, "When I was helping my sister as an assistant, the mailbox at the General Mansion would clear a lot of letters from vixens every week. Although it was related to work, it sounded like she was recommending herself to you. "
"Eh? Is that true? "Sun Jiao looked at her sister in shock and blinked.
"Of course, I took care of it for brother-in-law." Xiaorou looked at Jiang Chen and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law wouldn't blame me, right?"
"No, no, thank you." Jiang Chen felt the stare behind him as he coughed and immediately said.
"Is that so? That's good. "
Xiaorou, who instantly revealed a wicked smile, quickly ended the topic in the blink of an eye.
"Mhmm, I can't let my guard down. After all, it is Jiang Chen …" Xia Shiyu nodded seriously and inexplicably reached a consensus with Yao Yao.
"Opinion? I don't have an opinion, as long as it's not a bad woman with bad intentions … "Ayesha didn't seem to care much about this issue. She tilted her head and said to Lin Lin, who asked something.
Soon, the second program began, and the focus of the girls finally shifted from Jiang Chen to the stage not far away.
Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and glared at Xiaorou next to him.
The latter seemed to have expected Jiang Chen to glare at her, so she deliberately didn't look in his direction. She held her sister's hand and excitedly discussed other issues.
Jiang Chen thought that he would teach this little girl a lesson when he got back, so he no longer cared about what just happened.
As for the letters that were taken care of …
Although he cared about what was written on them, Jiang Chen swore that he had absolutely no intention of expanding the harem! Just like this, he was already too busy. Every night, the night shift was full, and he didn't even have a weekend off.
Just curious!
Mhmm, that's it!
The noise lasted until two o 'clock in the night. With the end of the last song, the New Year's Eve of the New Century also came to an end.
People began to disperse and returned to the Sixth Street or nearby hotels.
Although the New Year's Eve party was over, the celebration did not.
The Sixth Street was still decorated with lanterns and banners, and the major stores were open for promotions. Many people who came back from the city center didn't go home to sleep. They went to the food street with their arms around each other's shoulders, found a stall, and asked the owner to bring them a row of kebabs and a bottle of beer. They ate while chatting.
Since last year, food was no longer a luxury that could only be consumed occasionally. A large number of mutated fruit farms and nutrient supply production plants closed down. Sweet beer was originally a luxury only the rich could afford. The time spent eating kebabs with friends was no longer just a beautiful memory before the war.
Only by experiencing the taste of living could one be considered to be truly alive.
They didn't even dare to think about this life before, but now it was all so real.
Just as the general said.
The New Century had arrived.
…
The celebration lasted for three days.
At noon on the fourth day, the highlight of the show began.
In the central square of the Sixth Street, the grand military parade was in progress.
Fifty thousand Army soldiers participated at the same time, including the elite troops from the four major armies, as well as foreign corps from overseas colonies. The Air Force Flight Formation demonstrated superb flying skills in the air. Whether it was the Aurora-20 or the F-79 Wings of Freedom, they all completed an excellent performance.
Standing on the viewing platform, Jiang Chen put his hands behind his back and looked at the infantry phalanx in front of the square.
Next to him were all senior officers of the NAC. At this moment, they were all in military uniforms, their backs were straight, and their eyes were full of dignity. They didn't lose to the soldiers in the slightest.
The atmosphere on the square was full of murderous intent.
Looking up at the military power of the NAC, the dictators from the southern survivor settlements trembled. The strength demonstrated by the NAC, even if all of them united, was absolutely no match for this army.
If it were not for the man in front of them who had no intention of going south, their best outcome would be to give up their territory and their lives. Any resistance would be like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of such a powerful army …
