Chapter 145 Colorful Kite

Gu Yuan didn't seem surprised by Han Meng's answer.

He placed a cup of coffee in front of Han Meng, looked at the colorful kites flying in the sky, and slowly said:

"The kites in Aurora City have always been the best-selling in the nine realms. Do you know why?"

Without waiting for Han Meng to speak, he continued to talk to himself,

"The Aurora Realm is too cold. It is winter for most of the year. Children's childhood is basically spent at home... Only when summer comes for a month, they have the opportunity to go out of the house and play wildly. That is their happiest time of the year.

Because this happiness is hard-won, parents will try their best to meet the needs of their children. This month, there will be tens of thousands of kites flying in Aurora City every day. In the sky, they carry the children's expectations and hopes for the whole year.

When summer is over, parents will hang kites in the most conspicuous place in their children's rooms, so that the children will know...

Even if the winter is hard, summer will come eventually. "

"...What do you want to say?"

"No one is willing to give up the seven districts, but we have no choice." Gu Yuan looked at him calmly, "Look at this city, it is the future and hope of the Aurora Realm, as long as it is still there, the winter will eventually pass... Maybe one day, we can rebuild the seven districts."

Han Meng replied hoarsely,

"But the children in the seven districts have never even seen a kite... This is unfair."

Gu Yuan was slightly startled.

He was silent for a long time before speaking again:

"Maximum resource integration and utilization is the decision made by Aurora City in order to rapidly promote its own development... I am not qualified to judge whether this decision is correct, but from the perspective of the entire human group, what we are doing now is undoubtedly correct."

"What does your correctness have to do with me?" Han Meng looked at him, "My people and my subordinates are waiting for me to go back... I don't have time to listen to your big talk here!"

"It's been so long, the three districts have been destroyed long ago, even if you go back now, you will only face endless disasters."

Han Meng's body shook slightly.

"Except for Aurora City, the auroras in other places in the realm have long disappeared. It's just that the thick fog covered them and they couldn't be seen for a while...

Within an hour after the aurora disappeared, at least a thousand intersections will be born; within three hours, the intersections will be enough to pass the disasters above the third level; in ten hours, the seven major districts will be completely destroyed in theory; within twenty hours, the gray world will completely cover every inch of land outside the city, and no one will survive."

Gu Yuan glanced at his watch, and the silver pointer was turning silently on the star-moon dial.

"And now it has been fifteen hours since the aurora disappeared."

"If you leave Aurora City now, who can you save? Not only can you not save the three districts, but you will also leave your life there meaninglessly... Han Meng, you are a smart person and should know what to do."

Han Meng's hands on his knees clenched unconsciously, and veins popped up. He sat under the flying kites, struggling in the silent punishment, like a stone sculpture.

…

On the frozen ground, several figures walked slowly along the railroad tracks.

“Dad… I’m hungry.” The boy raised his head, the wind and snow dyed his eyelashes white, and his eyes were full of grievance and pleading.

When Boss Xu saw this scene, his heart ached. He turned to ask his wife:

“Do we have anything to eat?”

“How can we have anything else? You hurriedly dragged us out, and I didn’t even have time to pack my things.” The woman sighed, “If I hadn’t taken two clothes when I went out, I’m afraid I would have been frozen to death now…”

A few hours ago, Boss Xu also heard about the events in Districts 2 and 4, and felt that things were not going well, so he immediately ran out with his family and prepared to go to Aurora City to seek shelter overnight.

He knew that Aurora City might not be willing to accept them, but what if? Now they have nowhere else to go except Aurora City.

They left early, and they didn’t hear the news that the law enforcers went to the station on the way, so they could only choose to walk. During that time, there were many people who chose to flee to Aurora City. There were many families on Frost Street alone. They were all walking at about the same speed, in groups of three or two, along the railroad tracks. They had only walked less than one-fifth of the way so far.

Boss Xu saw this, and after a long silence, he gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, running towards the figures in front of them.

"Boss Li, Boss Li! Do you have anything to eat? Can... can you give me some?"

Boss Li runs a cake shop after all, and the last thing his family lacks is food. In this situation, perhaps he is the only one who still has stock.

Boss Li also has a family, and he wanted to refuse, but seeing the child behind him walking unsteadily, he took out a cupcake from his bag and handed it to him,

"Take it, it's still far from Aurora City... let the child save some food."

Boss Xu was overjoyed and nodded to thank him.

The child took the cake and bit off most of it in one bite. Before he could take the second bite, Boss Xu snatched it away and put it away, "Be good, we'll eat the rest later."

The child was also obedient. He didn't make a fuss to continue eating, but asked in a low voice:

"Dad... When can we get to Aurora City?"

"... It's still a long time." Boss Xu sighed, "If there is a train, it will take a few hours to get there..."

"Even if there is a train, there must be a lot of people trying to squeeze in, and we may not be able to squeeze in." Boss Li in front suddenly spoke.

"That's right..."

"Wait, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the rails are shaking?"

Just as several people were talking, a sound like a low thunder came from behind.

Boss Xu was stunned for a long time, as if he thought of something,

"Train? Is it a train?!"

The many figures walking along the rails stopped at the same time. They looked behind them in shock, and saw two dazzling beams of light dispersing the mist. In the haze, a huge steel beast roared over!

"It's really a train!" The woman's eyes lit up, and she waved her hands frantically while standing on the rails, "Save us!"

"It's the train to Aurora City!"

"That's wrong... How come this train only has one locomotive?"

Song--! !

Before everyone could react, the lone locomotive whizzed past them, and the wind blew up their clothes, leaving them standing there in a daze.
