Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 69: The Stars of the Countdown

Yao Wei had already released her hand from the back of Lu Xian's hand, and could feel the residual warmth in her palm.

If it were before, she wouldn't have thought much about it, but now the scenes from the comics were still echoing in her mind, and the battle in the video was getting more and more intense. It was obvious that the plot was going to develop in the same way as the comics, and she suddenly felt something was wrong.

The residual warmth in his hand seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, burning her, burning her, burning her little by little.

She glanced at Lu Xian imperceptibly, and saw that Lu Xian was moving the mouse to the X in the upper right corner of the video, but the expression on his face seemed a bit regretful.

"You... do you still want to see it?"

she asked.

Lu Xian looked at Yao Wei in surprise. It was rare for this woman to stumble when speaking.

She hadn't been this nervous before when she knew hyenas could dig their anuses.

Seeing Yao Wei's eyes evading, Lu Xian smiled secretly. Although this woman didn't have big waves, she looked much better than the woman in the video.

She was pleasing to the eye, and she was so shy. Lu Xian couldn't help but look at her a few more times and said, "No more. Looking at this thing too much will affect your health. It's hard to clean up."

But having said that, he still felt a little regretful.

It was fine before the battle in the video became intense, and he was still willing to resist. But after watching for a while, his interest was aroused, and he couldn't help but feel reluctant to turn it off.

But it still needs to be closed. On the one hand, Yao Wei seems to know nothing, and it is really wrong for her to mislead others into watching such things.

On the other hand, Yao Wei still doesn't understand now. After a while, she will understand and see a reaction in her body. If she gets angry or nervous, she will be shot in the vital parts. What should she do then?
Yao Wei's spear skills are so accurate, and she doesn't have the "Sunflower Manual" or "Bixie Sword Manual" to practice.

Even if he didn't shoot, Yao Wei would get angry and attack him, and he wouldn't be able to withstand it if he wasn't in good condition.

Forget it, just change it if it’s time to do it.

"Then should we find another movie to watch, or listen to some music?"

Lu Xian opened the folder again and asked.

Yao Wei didn't think much about it and said directly: "Listen to music."

"Well, okay."

Lu Xian said, opening the folder where the music files were stored.

There are quite a lot of music in this folder, and Lu Xian started playing directly from the first song, just like he did when he selected the video before.

But when he saw the title of the song, he was stunned.

The title of this song is "Stars in the Countdown".

It seems to have a certain meaning...

Click to play.

Lu Xian reclined the backrest, moved the seat as far back as possible, and lay down.

Yao Wei also tried to follow suit, but her legs were not easy to stretch.

Lu Xian pointed to the workbench in front and said, "Just put the tripod in front."

"Oh."

As Yao Wei spoke, she stretched out her legs and placed them on the workbench in front of her, making her look like a V with its legs spread wide apart.

Lu Xian thought that this woman's legs were really long. Even wearing such wide-leg pants, one could still feel how slender they were.

And these two feet, the foot shape is also very good...

The song has begun, the prelude is very long, and there is a feeling of sadness mixed with excitement.

Lu Xian folded his hands behind his head, rested his head on his hands, and listened until he finally heard the lyrics:

When the ionosphere opened its seventh wound

The last signal tower went out in the heavy rain

We count our heartbeats to calibrate the time coordinates
Stand in a crater to guard this glass ball
The beam of a flashlight pierces the asphalt clouds
Strangers use hugs to weld the gaps in steel

Supermarket shelves have become Noah's ark
Put the painkillers into the drift bottle
……

As expected, it's depicting that era...

Another piece of music followed, and Lu Xian was a little unsure whether it was describing the scene when the end of the world came, or the fantasy before the end of the world.

All the bank accounts are burning in the wind
Silver stars rise from the ashes
Rusted pocket watch gears gnashing together

Crushing the sobs that seep out of the horizon
Millions of hands tear through the long night (fingerprints piled up into mountains)
Using questions to fight against the collapsing time (the clavicle is filled with moonlight)
On the brink of civilization collapse
We establish ourselves as a new world

……

At this point, the sadness gradually fades away, and a heroic scene seems to break out of this sadness: children use crayons to modify satellite cloud maps
Skyscraper roots grow wildly toward the center of the earth
The library's pages grew scales

Swimming into a glowing ribbon in the cold winter

Remove the ribs and use them as torches
Burn all unsent letters
Let the ashes drift in the synchronous orbit

Kiss the sun that is about to freeze for us
……

Then comes the repetition of the verse and chorus.

"Does it sound good?"

Lu Xian asked.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded.

She also imitated Lu Xian and put her hands behind her head. While listening to the song, her eyes were wide open, staring at the roof in a daze.

I don’t know if this song touched her in some way.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Xian asked.

But Yao Wei said, "I don't know." After saying these three words, she thought carefully and asked, "Are they using songs to encourage each other?"

Lu Xian was slightly surprised: "Did you hear it?"

Yao Wei said, "It seems... a little bit, but I'm not sure."

"should be."

Lu Xian said.

In fact, rather than being an encouragement, this song is more like a search for warmth and embrace in the end of the world.

He thought to himself that in the past, the end of the world must have lasted for many periods of time.

The water delivery worker in Fengcheng County said he was kept in the dark, but the disaster in the song seems to have become common knowledge.

But the song was too fragmented and somewhat image-based. Lu Xian wanted to find out from the song whether there were any other clues about the past.

"so good……"

Yao Wei said.

Lu Xian sat up straight and started searching through the playlist.

The mouse wheel was broken, so Lu Xian could only scroll the right side of the screen.

After searching for a long time, he finally found a song that seemed to fit the current doomsday. The song was called "The Age of Melting Ice".

The "rong" in "smelting" is not the same as the "rong" in "melting".

Click to play.

When the Northern Lights engulf the Thirteenth Port
Salt grains condense into crystal telescopes on eyelashes

We dismantle the piano frame to feed the fireplace
The heartbeat of the prophetic pot can be heard from beneath the permafrost

……

This song does seem to describe the frozen apocalypse.

But the content information is still too little. The song focuses more on expressing emotions rather than recording the past.

Lu Xian felt a little sorry.

He continued listening, hoping to hear clues in the lyrics—

All borders melted in the cold wave
Fingerprints interwoven into geothermal pipe networks

Oil is a solidified black harp
Playing the aria from the depths of the continental shelf
……

We danced in absolute zero
Shattering the Earth's Last Hibernation
Until all the ice crystals reflect
The face of humans when they first learned to drill wood.

……

When the song ended, Lu Xian sighed deeply.

Yao Wei asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xian said: "It's nothing, just some nostalgia. The singer is so optimistic. I wonder if the people who listened to the song at the time were like this?"
