I'm not a drama god

Under the dark clouds.

Yang Xiao slowly opened his eyes...

The continuous drizzle hit his cheeks, cold and wet. He lay in a corner of a stone ruin, staring at the sky above his head in a daze for more than ten seconds before finally coming to his senses.

He sat up coughing and looked around.

"Are you awake?" Su Zhiwei's voice came from the side, "How do you feel?"

"Where am I...?"

Yang Xiao recalled what happened before he fell into a coma, and asked anxiously again, "How was the nuclear strike? Was it deflected? Did it not cause too many casualties?"

Su Zhiwei sat on the broken steps nearby, looking at the half-broken branch in his hand, and fell into silence.

She was about to say something when Lu Xun's voice rang out from a distance:

"If you hadn't deflected the nuclear weapon's trajectory, there wouldn't be any survivors here today... You saved almost everyone."

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on the corner of Yang Xiao's pale mouth, and he leaned against the stone wall in relaxation.

Lu Xun walked between the two of them, glanced at the lonely Su Zhiwei, and sighed.

"Su Zhiwei... Chu Changqing's problem cannot be blamed on you. That monster was too strong. We didn't have time to react at all."

"What monster? What happened to Chu Changqing?"

Lu Xun briefly told Yang Xiao what happened next, and the latter was stunned.

"Chu Changqing was captured and taken to another world?" Yang Xiao couldn't believe it. "Then we have to find a way to rescue him!"

"almost impossible."

Chen Ling, wearing a bright red costume, walked slowly to the three people. "Now the two worlds have not officially begun to intersect. If you want to enter the Gray World, you can only find another special nuclear weapon and enter it during the short period of time when the tail wave lasts... and the Gray World is too big. Even if a gap is opened, it is very likely to lead to other territories of destruction.

With our current strength, entering any of these world-destroying territories would be self-destruction."

"…So we're just going to ignore him?"

“We can’t just ignore it… but at least, not now.” Chen Ling looked at the three kings in front of him who had not yet grown up. Before they stepped into the ninth level, they were not qualified to face the destruction of the world.

Everyone fell into silence.

hum-

Above the silent ruins, the roar of fighter planes quickly passed by.

At the end of the long tail, several black shadows were flying rapidly over the sky of Wushan Town, as if they were judging the casualties in the town after the nuclear attack. The sound brought everyone's thoughts back to reality.

Although we have experienced two nuclear strikes, the disaster has just begun...

In addition to the small town of Wushan, other military bases and important cities must have also been attacked. No one knows what kind of devastation the world has become outside these mountains, nor does anyone know when the war will end.

The moment nuclear weapons took off into the sky, the fate of mankind was like willow catkins, floating in the wind of doomsday.

Yang Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up from the corner.

"No...I need to go back."

"Go back? Where?"

"My research institute." Yang Xiao looked a little anxious. "My fiancée is still there, waiting for me to come back..."

Lu Xun seemed to remember something, and looked at Yang Xiao with a complicated look... He almost forgot that Yang Xiao had a fiancée.

Yang Xiao escaped the disaster by hiding in the small town of Wushan, but his fiancée's life or death is still unknown. Most of the signal base stations have been destroyed and the communication equipment cannot be used. He doesn't know where his fiancée is hiding now, and it is extremely difficult to contact her.

But given Yang Xiao's personality, there was absolutely no way he would just leave her alone.

"But if nothing unexpected happens, both airplanes and rail transportation will be unavailable. Your research institute is hundreds of kilometers away from here. How are you going to get back?" Lu Xun asked.

"There will always be a way." Yang Xiao answered without hesitation.

Lu Xun knew that no matter what he said, he would not be able to stop Yang Xiao from taking risks. He was just that kind of person... At this moment, Su Zhiwei on the side suddenly spoke.

"I...may have to leave for a while too."

"Where are you going?"

"I also have a... younger brother, and I'm a little worried about him." Su Zhiwei hesitated to speak.

"You mean Yao Qing?" Chen Ling nodded slightly. "Yao Qing is currently in the 7012 underground project... and he may indeed need you right now."

Yao Qing watched Xiao Chunping rush to the battlefield. Now that Xiao Chunping died in the battle, Yao Qing became completely helpless. Chen Ling couldn't imagine how devastated and self-blaming he was now. The only one who could give him some comfort at this time was Su Zhiwei.

Lu Xun was silent for a long time.

"Okay... I'll go to America then."

"You? Going to America now?? Are you crazy?" Yang Xiao looked at him in surprise.

"Wu Tongyuan is still there." Lu Xun's eyes flashed with self-blame. "At that time, the 749 Bureau was looking for the nine of us. I personally pushed him onto the plane to the United States. I originally wanted him to avoid the limelight, but I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this... He should be trapped there now. Everything started because of me. I have to be responsible for bringing him back."

"But now that there's a world war, there probably aren't even any domestic flights left, let alone international flights... How are you going to get to America?"

"The stars will take me there."

Chen Ling looked at the three people in front of him and sighed in his heart.

For Chen Ling, gathering all the Nine Lords around her is the best option. But the Nine Lords are not tools, but living people. If it was before, it would be fine. Now that the world war has broken out and the people they care about are in crisis, it is impossible for them to force them to stay by their side regardless of the life and death of the people they cherish...

Now, it's time for them to go their separate ways.

"No matter what happens, you must protect yourself first." Chen Ling finally reminded them, especially Yang Xiao and Lu Xun. He emphasized that

"If you run into any trouble that you can't solve, try your best to send me a message, whether it's a communication signal or the stars. As long as I receive it, I will help you immediately."

"Thank you, Director Chen." The three said sincerely.

"Remember, we are always on the same front." Chen Ling seemed to remember something and turned to look at Su Zhiwei again, "Dr. Su, do you remember our secret code?"

Chen Ling and Su Zhiwei had agreed on a code before. No matter which era they were in, they would use this code to contact each other. In fact, he could also agree on a code with Lu Xun and Yang Xiao, but the problem was that in Chen Ling's era, these two people...

Therefore, the only person who could confirm Chen Ling's guess was Su Zhiwei.

Su Zhiwei was startled, and immediately nodded, "Remember."

"We met in the mortal world."

"A smile goes a long way."

Chen Ling nodded. He was about to say something when he suddenly saw a figure passing by the corner of the street in the distance.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the three people in front of him again.

"…Everyone, take care."
