Apocalyptic Forecast

Chapter 929: Revisiting

Chapter 932

  

   The landing time of the plane is three o'clock in the afternoon.

  

   Russell came back from the bathroom with a nightcap, and sat on the sofa next to Huai Shi, yawning as if he was not getting enough sleep.

  

   The plane was taxiing on the runway, and you could still see the endless yellowishness of the desert in the distance and the outlines of tall buildings.

  

   Huai Shi pinched the travel manual and was still reading, page after page, very quickly.

  

   To the end, skip completely.

  

   Casino, casino, or casino.

  

   are all items of no interest.

  

   "What are you doing here?" Huai Shi asked, "Do you take your students to gamble?"

  

"Isn't it a bit too much to go to the current public money consumption, Huai Shi, Isaac will kill me." Russell shook his head, but suddenly found a new direction, eager to try: "Or, you can adjust some funds from Danbo. Come on? If we win the bet, how about we split it?"

  

   "Hehe." Huai Shi rolled her eyes and didn't bother to care about him.

  

   "Las Vegas."

  

Russell supported his chin and stared at the gradually enlarged city outside the window: "It is reasonable to say that I should be very compelling to explain to you how this city was established and how it has expanded to the present under the original sin of man. The degree, how degenerate and how drunk and crazy...

  

   But Mr. Naihe, I really have no interest in it. If you have to say it, you can only say it. It's just this big, it's here, and it's with the things we want to get back. "

  

   "What is it?" Huai Shi asked.

  

   "Money."

  

   Russell said: "A lot of money, if you don't know how much it is, then I can only say, a lot, a lot of money."

  

   Huaishi sighed, really didn't want to ask him what many, many, many are.

  

   He said a lot, but a lot.

  

   However, as the plane was taxiing, he gradually realized that something was wrong, the travel manual slowly closed, and his expression became serious.

  

   The most famous tourist city in the entire Americas, the big airport, the most important transportation hub, and the place where countless planes go up and down like clouds, why apart from them... Does Huaishi not feel the presence of any other travelers?

  

   "Old man, have you offended someone?"

  

"No, this is a show of sincerity, Huai Shi." Russell shook the newspaper and took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "The host is here to welcome the guests. Remember to be more serious. Don't look like you haven't seen it. It looks like it's on the market."

  

   Huai poems are all amused.

  

   What scene have I never seen?

  

   Ten minutes later, Huai Shi looked at the empty waiting hall, and there were two long rows of welcomers in suits and leather suits or gorgeous flowers, stunned.

  

   I have never seen this scene.

  

  No big airport has no unrelated passengers at all at this moment, and all of them have been cleared. This was something that should have caused an uproar, but at this moment there is no abnormality at all.

  

   The plane that had landed was dragged to the runway and waited, and the plane that hadn't landed circled the sky over and over again.

  

   Those stranded or passing passengers had been cleared up when Russell and the others got on the plane three hours ago. At this moment, the entire airport in Las Vegas, a great city, was only waiting for two people to come.

  

   "Welcome, Mr. Russell, Mr. Huaishi."

  

   The white-haired old man, holding on to his cane, stepped forward first, nodding his bow and saluting: "The arrival of the two makes this city splendid."

  

   Russell shrugged and looked at Huai Shi: "Look, I said, we are here for the blessings they have cultivated for eight lifetimes, so why are you polite?"

  

   Huaishi's eyes twitched.

  

   Such a shameless guy, this is the first time he has seen him.

  

   But the old man seemed to have eaten this set, his posture became more respectful: "Should you two stay in the hotel first? We have already prepared rooms for both of you at Empire Star."

  

   "I'm a little hungry, let's eat first." Russell casually threw the luggage into his arms.

  

   "No problem." The old man picked up the suitcase himself and followed behind him: "The six abyss three-star kitchen monsters are ready to satisfy all your appetites at any time."

  

   "It's so considerate." Russell laughed: "I feel like I'm almost fed by two beautiful girls."

  

   The old man did not change his face: "If you need it, arrange it immediately."

  

   "Then arrange some beautiful girls to eat for me." Russell nodded, wondering whether it was a joke or a serious one: "I hope they are in a happier mood."

  

"no problem."

  

   The old man asked: "Do you have any requirements for the dining lady? Skin color or something else?"

  

   "Any wish can be satisfied?" Russell admired: "You really look like Santa Claus."

  

   "In front of Mr. Russell, how can you dare to rely on the old to sell the old." The old man bowed his head: "You are our distinguished guest. This is our duty."

  

   "Look, Huai Shi, this is called professionalism!"

  

   Russell happily said to the young people behind him: "Satisfy all your needs and make you feel at home.

  

   Even if you tell him, I’m sorry, we are going to burn this city to ashes, he will tell you very much: Sorry, it will take two hours to wait because we don’t have enough gasoline. "

  

   "Then you want to burn it?"

  

   Huaishi carried his luggage and walked behind casually, ignoring the waiter's diligence.

  

   He has noticed the strange atmosphere hidden behind this seemingly warm and harmonious atmosphere, and he doesn't bother to look at all the dazzling things before him.

  

   "Of course not, Huaishi."

  

   Russell comfortably enjoyed this over-enthusiastic service, walking briskly: "We are not saboteurs, why do we want to puncture such a beautiful soap bubble?"

  

   He stared at the distant city and blew his whistle: "It is a miracle that bubbles can live forever. It is a miracle that a bubble can survive. It is not beautiful if it is true. It is better to keep it as it is.

  

   Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, right? "

  

   Outside the airport, the long-awaited luxury cars have opened their doors to them. Champagne and whiskey lying in ice buckets, and even cigars in storage cabinets are open for unlimited supply.

  

   After starting, there is no shaking or turbulence, as if sitting on a soft sofa, waiting for the servant to present a good meal.

  

   Now, when the partition is up, there are only two people left in the car.

  

   does not care whether there is a bug listening, Huaishi said straightforwardly: "They are afraid of you."

  

   "Afraid?"

  

   Russell was holding a wine glass and shook his head nonchalantly: "They are not afraid of me, Huai Shi, I am an old man who has passed my own version a long time ago. What is there to be afraid of?

  

   They are just afraid of embarrassment. They are afraid that I will make some unreasonable demands. They are afraid that everyone will be unhappy, hindering their business and hindering them from making money. "

  

   Russell sighed in confusion: "But they are not afraid of me. Isn't that weird?"

  

   Huai poetry is subconsciously creepy.

  

   "Hey, don't you really want to do something, right?" Huai Shi was uneasy: "This is the current realm. A Tier 5 fight will have serious consequences!"

   Besides, I am still a special military attaché of the Astronomical Society!

  

   Although he is the weakest military attaché in history, he is also a special class!

  

   In case a telegram is sent by the governing bureau and let himself cut off Russell's dog head, do I do it myself, or do I do it later?

  

   Isn't this very tangled!

  

   "Don't worry, no one will do things, Huai Shi, there won't be any wars here today."

  

Russell’s fingertips raised a wine glass full of ice cubes, mocking and chuckles: "The other party will not give us any excuses for starting a war. No matter how rude or rude we are, they will not get angry, even if they beat them. Left cheeks, they will also stretch their right cheeks...though I won't do that."

  

   "Then what are you going to do?"

  

   Huaishi asked straightforwardly: "Even if you want to fight or kill, at least give me a reminder? Then it will be convenient for me to look at you, right?"

  

   "Let me think about it..." Russell pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "Probably a debt?"

  

   "Debt?"

  

   "For debts, debt collection, and asset recovery, it's probably such a thing."

  

Russell glanced at the prosperous city outside the window and sighed softly: "Seventy years ago, after the ideal domestic chaos and the fall of the kingdom of heaven, various departments also fell apart. In the end, even his own existence was cancelled from the Astronomical Society... At that time, it was really chaotic and turbulent, and I didn't know how I managed to get through it.

  

   Every day I think about how to survive the next day and how to deal with difficult times.

  

   When I came back to my senses, everything was over. When I turned around, except for a few old friends around me, there was nothing but devastation. "

  

   "At that time, this desert was still a place where birds did not poop, there was no such place."

  

  He said slowly: "After the collapse of the Utopia, in the chaos, everyone was overwhelmed...So, some people started the idea of ​​guarding and stealing."

  

   "Guardian... stealing?" Huai Shi was stunned.

  

  "Yes, in the early years, there were a number of Utopia’s strategic reserves. Although there is no way to compare with our sunken old campus, it is actually a very important material reserve.

  

   Then, after hearing of the collapse of the Utopia, some of the guards decided...to use this wealth ‘more effectively’. "

  

   Russell smiled mockingly: "So, after a few procedures, the strategic reserves of the Utopia appeared in the black market in an open manner.

  

   After getting a lot of wealth, they did not stop, but began drastic investment and construction... In the end, there is this city of desire in front of you, Huai Shi.

  

   Up to now, out of the sixteen people that year, six have died, four have lost everything, and the remaining six have become the ultimate victors.

  

   After so many years, they bid farewell to the unbearable past, established great achievements, became a miracle, and even controlled an entire independent city, joined the American city-state union, and became a glorious part of it. "

  

   He turned his head and asked softly: "If it were you, how can you be in a good mood when people from the Utopia reappear in front of you?"

  

   "But for so many years, hasn't anyone taken care of it?" Huai Shi asked, "Don't you care about it?"

  

   "A school far away on the border, where is it possible to intervene in the present situation, Huai Shi?"

  

   Russell shook his head: "Don't be too harsh on the teacher, right? Learn to be more tolerant."

  

   Preserving the ivory tower from the turmoil, and preserving a school from the waves that swept the entire territory, for Russell at that time, it was already a miracle in exchange for sacrificing everything.

  

  Perhaps, he still has the strength to do more, but in the face of the cold reality, he is already discouraged and unwilling to pay more attention.

  

   A blink of an eye, so many years have passed.

  

   If nothing happened, he might stay like this until he died of old age.

  

   "What I want to say is that you let me see the turning point in the reconstruction of the heavenly genealogy."

  

   Russell turned his head and looked at the students beside him, making Huaishi a little embarrassed, "I just brought the Book of Destiny back, and I can't take it down. It's nothing great, right?"

  

   "The important thing is never the book of destiny, Huai poem."

  

   Russell smiled, and said nothing more.

  

   just can't help but remember.

  

   When Huai Shi stood in front of him, and when the trace of the Book of Destiny appeared before his eyes again, how should he describe his mood at that moment?

  

  Happy, jealous, jealous, killing intent... or, ashamed?

  

   is beyond words.

  

   When this young man carried a burden that did not belong to him, and walked towards him as he pursued the remnants of the ideal country, Russell actually felt a fear he had never had before.

  

   has never been knocked down by a cruel fate, nor has it been wiped out by the cold world, so scarred, but with a smile full of love and joy for everything, it is like a mirror.

  

   took a picture of himself beyond recognition!

  

   The self who was drowning in the anaesthetized self of the wandering skeletal body...

  

   At that moment, he understood: Perhaps, this is the reason why the Book of Destiny did not choose itself. As early as the moment he gave up resisting his fate, he was already abandoned by this fate.

  

   But it doesn't matter, he doesn't care anymore.

  

   For this, he has no hatred at all, but is full of indescribable gratitude.

  

   It is ridiculous that he wanted to be recognized by the Book of Destiny all his life, but after giving up this dream, he finally truly recognized himself.

  

   "You will definitely become a person far better than me~lightnovelpub.net~Huaishi."

  

   Regarding this, he is very convinced and solemnly promised to the students beside him: "Don't worry, this is my bounden duty as a teacher."

  

   Watched by such hopeful eyes, Huai Shi fell into a daze, suddenly a little uneasy.

  

   He smelled the arrangement.

  

   "Why do you say this suddenly?" he asked alertly.

  

   "Nothing, don't be afraid."

  

   Russell smiled suddenly, raised his finger, and gestured for a negligible distance: "It's just that I want to make you a little bit more difficult..."

  

   The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves forward.

  

  Perhaps, it’s an unchanging truth that students surpass teachers.

  

   But no one said that only the back wave is allowed to chase forward, and the front wave should stay in place, right?

  

   Imagining the future student climbing tiredly on the cliff, unable to see the end of the embarrassed appearance, he became more happy.

  

   "Let's go, we are here."

  

   When the moving vehicle stopped slowly, Russell got up and finally patted him on the shoulder, telling him meaningfully: "Be prepared."

  

   He said, "You will be on the stage soon."
