When these people gathered together and looked at each other, they were also in a daze.
"The last time we gathered like this was two years ago." Chu Lin was the first to speak. He was rather emotional. "But I don't feel like time is passing quickly at all. Instead, I feel like time is passing too quickly."
"That's because these are the most difficult ten years for survivors." Hong FeiZhang glanced at him. "Aren't you in charge of excavating resources from the seabed? How did you come back so quickly? "
"I'm not the fastest." Chu Lin raised his chin at Mo Qiu. "This person was originally on the other side of the Earth. He even asked me to use a transport plane."
"… My job is already done," Mo Qiu shook his head lightly and explained to himself. But he obviously did not pay much attention to Chu Lin's words.
Among the four of them, Mo Qiu was the one who changed the most in the past ten years.
The others were already in high positions before.
Mo Qiu, on the other hand, became the deputy director of the Sea City Alliance's food department in a short period of time. He was in charge of the most important food department in the Sea City Alliance.
He was the most famous celebrity in the entire Sea City Alliance.
His popularity was unparalleled.
Three years ago, a large-scale conflict broke out in a western city because of food distribution. Mo Qiu alone managed to suppress the violent crowd for three days by relying on his unparalleled popularity. Furthermore, within these three days, he made reasonable arrangements and became the youngest deputy minister in the Sea City Alliance in one fell swoop.
His entire temperament seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
However, Mo Qiu at this time seemed to be in a daze. His eyes were not focused in front of him. He was in a daze.
The rest of the people also fell silent.
They did not know what Mo Qiu was thinking of writing, but they also waited with some kind of anticipation.
In the next moment.
A spatial ripple from deep in their memories appeared in front of them.
Shen Yi stepped out.
When they saw this familiar face, their memories, which were already somewhat unfamiliar, suddenly became vivid.
"Mr. Shen!" The four of them stood up almost at the same time.
Mr. Shen was really back!
Ten years didn't seem to have left any marks on Mr. Shen's appearance.
No, there were still changes.
The four of them looked at Shen Yi with some surprise in their eyes.
Ten years ago, although Shen Yi's whole body was filled with a mysterious aura, it was not like now. It was as if his whole person was detached and independent. Just by standing here, it was as if this scene was forever engraved in his soul. It was impossible to forget such a scene.
"It's been a while." Shen Yi smiled and sat down casually. At the same time, he gestured to them, "Sit down, there's no need to stand."
"Yes." The four of them suppressed the throbbing in their hearts and returned to their seats.
Shen Yi's gaze swept across the four of them.
Finally, it settled on Mo Qiu.
He was also slightly surprised by the change in Mo Qiu.
If the previous Mo Qiu was a budding young girl, full of innocence and shyness, then the current Mo Qiu was a peony in full bloom. Her eyes were like water, her breath was like orchids, and she was gentle and elegant.
Everything else aside.
If it was the Mo Qiu in Shen Yi's memory, she would have lowered her head and blushed when she met his gaze.
But now, she looked at him openly, as if she wanted to release the longing that had been brewing for the past ten years.
"It seems that you've all been through a lot during this time." Shen Yi said softly, "I've already learned about what you've done during this time. You haven't let me down. The bright future of the entire civilization is clearly visible."
"It's all because of the technology and support you left behind." Hong FeiZhang spoke, his voice as calm as ever. "Those technologies are the strength that supported us through the difficulties. Without those technologies, we wouldn't be where we are today."
"You don't have to say any more humble words." Shen Yi shook his head and said seriously, "I'm here this time mainly to provide you with further support in accordance with the agreement. In addition, I also want you to fulfill certain obligations."
Chu Lin and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this.
To be honest, although the technologies left behind from the beginning had been put to great use, they had almost reached the end.
Except for some that had not been absorbed and digested, their progress in some areas had slowed down again.
They had even asked the Contract Warrior many times if they could get further technical support.
But the Contract Warrior never responded.
And now, it seemed that they were qualified to receive more support?
"Since we've signed the agreement, I think there won't be any problems," Hong FeiZhang said decisively.
Chu Lin obviously thought more.
He asked, "I wonder, what are the obligations that Mr. Shen is referring to? Could it be that the apocalypse of some world has encountered a problem and needs our support? "
He couldn't help but be concerned.
According to the agreement, as the alliance civilization of the Pan-Humanist Guardians, they had the obligation to provide help to some civilizations that encountered the apocalypse, including but not limited to materials and personnel.
But now, the situation of their entire human civilization was actually not good.
The entire world was no longer suitable for human survival. Although they survived, it was extremely difficult. Many areas had not recovered to the level before the catastrophe.
"I've indeed encountered a rather troublesome apocalypse. The human civilization of that world is facing a destructive declaration of war from an extraterrestrial non-human civilization that is far more powerful than them." As Shen Yi's voice fell, it made the hearts of several people jump. Cha Yongchang could not control the change in his expression.
A declaration of war from an extraterrestrial non-human civilization?
Even Mr. Shen felt that it was troublesome?
No matter how they looked at it, this was not a disaster that they could participate in at their level.
"Of course, the obligations I'm asking you to fulfill have little to do with this war," Shen Yi said again.
"Mr. Shen, you're exaggerating …" Cha Yongchang patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he showed a helpless expression. "All of our focus is now on survival, and we've basically abandoned the military direction. If it's a war … then what we can provide is only warriors with the spirit of sacrifice."
As Cha Yongchang said, under the pressure of survival, they had basically given up on military development.
However, they did not give up on the spirit of war.
Whether it was the excavation of resources on the seabed, the construction of the Antarctic, or even the construction of transportation … The hardships and dangers of these places were not inferior to war.
Ever since the catastrophe.
The Sea City Alliance regarded the spirit of war as the most important spiritual quality of the entire human civilization. It was regarded as the greatest wealth that the catastrophe gave to mankind.
