Chapter 283 For Tomorrow
Chapter 283 For Tomorrow
The convoy rolled over the sand dunes, kicking up long trails of dust behind the vehicles.
It was as if even the yellow sand sensed this silent yet surging emotion.
Xu Si leaned against the cold seat inside "Nirvana," his starry eyes flashing intensely, like two eternal stars that would never go out.
They flew down one by one onto his shoulder, their tiny wings folded, quietly conveying a silent comfort.
"Commander, physiological indicators have approached baseline, and the emotional fluctuation threshold has fallen back to a safe range."
The synthesized sound of Nirvana rose smoothly, and the red warning on the screen quietly disappeared.
"External environment scanning continues, no abnormal energy source has been detected."
Xu Si didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
For the first time, he felt that the future held promise.
It's not just my future, but my sister's future, and everyone's future.
The convoy finally came to a slow stop on the leeward side of a sand dune as evening approached.
Today we encountered nothing strange and received unprecedented good news.
The team's morale was boosted like never before.
Hope, though sometimes faint, is the most precious thing.
Aren't we all striving towards that goal?
"Knife, get out of the car and let's chat! It's so boring being alone in the car!" Tashan knocked on Xu Si's car door in a carefree manner.
One drink is enough for two men to become friends.
Not to mention Ta Shan and Xu Si.
Xu Si's mood had already calmed down.
Now that he knew where to focus his efforts, he felt much more relaxed.
It was only a matter of time before he created a strange object that could connect to it.
If he's lucky, he might be able to let his sister know he exists tomorrow.
Xu Si raised his hand, and the car door slid open silently.
A face as hard as Tashan rock peered in, carrying the warmth of the campfire.
"Here, this soup is freshly made. I added a lot of canned meat."
Tashan held up the steaming can of food in his hand, glanced at Xu Si's face, didn't ask any questions, and just grinned.
"Everyone's outside, it's quite lively."
Xu Si did not refuse Ta Shan's kindness. He stepped out of the car, took the hot food from Ta Shan's hand, but his eyes glanced at the campfire not far away.
The rest of the convoy was almost all there and seemed to be waiting for him.
Ivan nodded awkwardly to Xu Si.
Xiao Luo obediently wiped away non-existent dust from the stone bench beside him, the spot he had reserved for Xu Si.
Even DouDou, Master Wei, and YaoYao were given a stone bench.
Everyone held their canned food, eating quickly or slowly, waiting for this meeting—which wasn't really a meeting—to begin.
Ivan had the most complicated feelings. He hadn't expected that his convoy, including himself, had 17 members who were Sequence Extraordinaries.
There were even four children younger than Maxim.
What kind of team is this?
In all caravans, it is the default practice to give the awakening potion to a trusted confidant, who is usually associated with a powerful figure.
But this team seems to be different.
Children were not abandoned, women were not enslaved, and even ordinary people were given enough food.
This caravan is completely different; there are no hierarchies, no exploitation, and no indifference!
This was unlike any of the teams he had encountered before.
There was always an unsettling feeling about him that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
If he asked, Fu Xiaojian would answer him: it's cohesion.
Even though he felt that his team had done their best, it was incomparable to the team in front of him.
The sheer number of sequencers is incomparable, not to mention their quality.
There were at least four people in the entire convoy who could make his heart race.
In other words, they are all capable of killing themselves; they are at least Sequence 3, or even Sequence 4.
"Brother Dao, sit here." Xiao Luo patted the seat that was clearly reserved for Xu Si.
Xu Si sat down next to Xiao Luo by the campfire and ate heartily.
The flickering firelight illuminated faces worn by wind and sand, yet brimming with vibrant life.
After a long while, Fu Xiaojian cleared his throat, his gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on Xu Si.
"Old Xu, what do you think of the 'Bright Motorcade' signal?"
All eyes turned to them.
Xu Si remained silent for a moment, then swallowed the last mouthful of thick soup and skillfully scrubbed the can dry with sand.
"I have no opinion! My only purpose in life is to find my sister! If I can live, she can live!"
"What about us?" Jiao Jiao asked impatiently.
When she said "we," she was referring to the car team.
Xu Si remained silent.
Jiao Jiao's heart sank deeper and deeper, while Xiao Luo beside her nervously wrung his hands. Fu Xiaojian lowered his eyes and looked at the fire.
Ivan clearly sensed a significant change in the atmosphere within the convoy.
"It's okay, Knife. I believe you'll find your sister someday. You still have family, and it feels so good to have family!"
Tashan, a man as hard as stone, seemed to be on the verge of tears as he spoke, perhaps thinking of a loved one.
Wang Hu hugged Yao Yao tightly, while Su Su comforted Jiao Jiao.
Ronaldinho's head was bowed, and his shoulders twitched slightly.
Master Wei and Dou Dou exchanged a glance, their eyes also brimming with tears.
"Brother Dao, it would be great if you could bring your sister to our team!"
Ronaldinho is recovering very quickly.
Now, the team is his home, and the people in the team are his family.
Xu Si's words brought a moment of silence to the campfire.
Fu Xiaojian clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back.
"Alright, don't be so downcast. Xu Si's goal is clear, and we have our own path to follow."
With the Guangming Motorcade's broadcasts, perhaps people will be able to find their relatives in the future, even if they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
We can't change the past, but we can try to shape the future.
Xu Si admired Fu Xiaojian's ability to elevate his skills.
With just a few simple words, he managed to reignite everyone's emotions.
He stood up, the firelight casting his tall figure onto the sand.
"Chen Pei, put some water in everyone's cans."
Chen Pei nodded, and then everyone felt the weight in their hands.
In this situation, it would be unreasonable not to clink glasses.
"Let's drink water instead of wine, for tomorrow."
"For tomorrow..."
Although Ivan didn't understand this sense of ritual, he still chose to respect it.
"Starting tomorrow, I will personally monitor the 144.000 frequency band when the convoy is traveling."
At the same time, we must also begin to actively seek out resource points, actively hunt suitable monsters, and strengthen ourselves.
Only when we are strong will we have the real confidence to find our loved ones or establish a safe zone in the future.
Fu Xiaojian delivered the final concluding remarks.
This effectively mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.
"That's right, fuck that son of a bitch!"
Tashan's eyes were red, and he drank the water from the can in his hand in one gulp.
It seemed to taste like alcohol.
Count me in!
Count me in!
……
For no apparent reason, the small party turned into a pep rally.
