Chapter 221 Following in Cangnan's Footsteps (Part 1)
"Liu Lang, are you really not going to see your mother again?" Naxi Da asked Liu Lang.
The place where Liu Lang and the others were located was atop the only remaining high-rise building in Cangnan City. He looked down at the entire city and said, "No. Even if we meet again, it won't change the fact that Cangnan City has disappeared."
"Let's save what we want to say for when we meet again."
Naxida nodded thoughtfully, "Cangnan City is gone, what do we do next...? Should I continue to research those strange things of his with An Qingyu?"
“No need.” Liu Lang shook his head. “Although his research will continue, he doesn’t need to stay in An Qingyu’s underground lab anymore… Put everything into the Dust Song Pot. The babbling worm inside doesn’t have much to do now, and it’s not good to keep him doing cleaning. We need to let him get back to working on civil engineering…”
"Where do we go next?" Nasida asked Liu Lang.
Mavica and Lei Yingdian also looked at Liu Lang, wanting to know his answer.
For the past two weeks, they haven't asked Liu Lang this question for fear of bothering him.
Now that Cangnan City has disappeared, they should start to worry about what's to come.
Liu Lang thought for a moment, "It should be Shangjing City. After all, we did something big half a month ago, and it's time to meet with the other members of the Great Xia Night Watchmen's higher-ups."
“Okay,” Lei Yingdian said succinctly.
"Shangjing City, huh?" Naxida thought about the distance between Shangjing City and Cangnan City. "Now that Cangnan City no longer has high-speed rail or air travel, wouldn't it be quite far to get to Shangjing City...?"
"It's alright, they'll come to pick us up," Liu Lang waved his hand dismissively.
“Oh, I see.” Nasita nodded. “Then I’m all set.”
After Nasita finished speaking, Liu Lang turned his gaze to Mavica and asked, "And you?"
"Why are you looking at me?" Mavica asked uncomfortably when Liu Lang stared at her. "Of course, I'll go wherever you go."
"Oh~" Liu Lang and Nasida looked at Mavica and Hongyan with amusement. "Who was it that said they were finally going to retire and were planning to travel around Tewat, but they ended up here... wanting to travel around Great Xia with Hongyan."
“Who said that? I don’t know anything about it,” Mavica retorted stubbornly.
“I can vouch for you!” Hongyan chimed in from the side, “Our master never said such a thing. You must be mistaken. There’s absolutely no such thing!”
"No?" Lei Yingdian seemed to want to see Mavica's embarrassed look and chimed in.
Mavica blushed, almost bursting with embarrassment and anger. "Absolutely not!"
She'd forgotten the current state of the Godslayer world, hadn't she? She blurted out those words without thinking, but realized her mistake as soon as she said them.
Until Liu Lang becomes powerful enough to protect her, it's impossible for her to enjoy her "retirement life."
Liu Lang: "Really not?"
Mavica: "I already said, no means no!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
......
However, compared to the slightly more pleasant atmosphere on Liu Lang's side...
The remaining residents of Cangnan City are not in a good mood.
The entire city of Cangnan is now shrouded in a deathly silence.
The entire city of Cangnan was completely different before and after it disappeared.
A city, in the blink of an eye, has become just a few lonely high-rise buildings standing in endless desolation.
And... the survivors of Cangnan City who wept after learning the truth.
However, in the westernmost part of Cangnan City... where the moon rises and the sun sets, a strange cloud of dust rises into the sky.
It seems something is heading this way.
These were the Night Watch logistics personnel who had been waiting outside Cangnan City, preparing to carry out rescue operations and rebuild Cangnan City after the "miracle" in Cangnan City disappeared.
Cangnan City is in dire need of reconstruction.
-------------------------------------
The Peace Agency stood alone at the head of the bridge, where several figures stood in a daze.
“Although I knew this would happen, I still find it unbelievable when this day comes.” Hongying’s voice broke the silence.
“Me too,” Zhao Kongcheng echoed. “I’ve only been awake for about half a month…”
"I thought I now had the strength to protect Cangnan City and be a better Night Watchman, but I never expected that Cangnan City would be gone and I would be unable to do anything."
"Hey, Old Zhao! Can you even speak like a human being?" Wen Qimo said to Zhao Kongcheng, "Your current strength is already comparable to five of the most powerful humans. What more could you want? Hongying and I should be ashamed of ourselves..."
"What's the use then? It still can't save so many people in Cangnan City..." Zhao Kongcheng said dejectedly.
Wu Xiangnan slowly spoke, "Actually, Lao Zhao, you don't need to be so discouraged. Look how strong Ying and Liu Lang were back then, right? Even Loki, the God of Mischief, died at their hands, but... there was nothing they could do."
"Your life was saved by Ying, isn't it normal that you can't do anything about it?" Wu Xiangnan continued, seeing that Zhao Kongcheng hadn't finished speaking. "Do your best and leave the rest to fate... Just do what you can..."
Although Wu Xiangnan said that, something really did happen.
What he will do remains to be seen.
Perhaps it's like he said, or perhaps it's like before... knowing it's impossible but still doing it anyway.
“Sigh.” Zhao Kongcheng sighed, “Although I know all that you’re saying, I still feel uneasy… We’re still too weak.”
Wu Xiangnan: "Yes, they're too weak... they can't do anything."
"To be able to watch your teammates die right in front of you, and you can't do anything about it... that feeling is too painful." Of course, Wu Xiangnan didn't say this out loud; he just thought about it silently.
"Alright, these things will be taken care of... What you need to think about is your future," Chen Muyi interrupted the discussion.
"Captain, what about you?" Hongying asked. Hearing Chen Muyi say this gave her a bad feeling. "Captain, the 'miracle' related to Cangnan City has disappeared, and you no longer need to suppress 'Shiva's Wrath.' What are you planning to do next...?"
