I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World-Chapter 1571 - To You Who Have Survived To This Day

Chapter 1571: To You Who Have Survived To This Day

“Shasha, help me take a look,” Lin Lin happily ran out of the room in an emerald green dress, stood in front of Ayesha, and turned around, “What do you think? What do you think? Does this dress fit me?”

“Very… very suitable for you.”

Ayesha smiled stiffly.

She was still not used to the name Lin Lin gave her.

But to be honest, this emerald green dress indeed matched her bright silver hair very well. Her light steps made her look like an elf in the forest. After Ayesha carefully examined her, she still gave an objective evaluation.

“Hehe, this is my favorite dress,” Lin Lin said happily.

“But, are you not going to be cold wearing this outside?” Ayesha asked while she tilted her head.

“Digitalized humans are not afraid of the cold.”

Okay…

What an enviable ability.

Ayesha thought as she looked at Lin Lin’s flowy dress.

After Lin Lin received a positive evaluation from Ayesha, she peeked at Jiang Chen, raised her small fist, and coughed heavily into it. This drew Jiang Chen’s attention from Sun Jiao to her and she spoke softly.

“Hey, what do you think?”

“Me?” Jiang Chen, who chatted with Sun Jiao about the upcoming celebration, suddenly heard Lin Lin’s question and responded. Then, he paused for a second and smiled, “I have no objection.”

Lin Lin punched Jiang Chen with her small fist, unsatisfied.

“This is not okay, Brother-in-law-sama.”

Xiaorou, in a light lavender coat, walked out of the room with a smile. She wore a piece of exquisite diamond jewelry on her head, which added a touch of grace and luxury to her expensive coat.

“When a girl asks you what you think about the outfit, they actually want to hear your compliments. Giving them a compliment is more useful than any opinion.”

“Well, this outfit certainly fits you,” Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up as he looked at Xiaorou’s dress, and added, “It looks great!”

Xiaorou’s cheeks flushed. The smile on her face remained unchanged as she muttered unclear words.

“It seems that I underestimated my brother-in-law…”

“Hey! It’s not fair!”

Lin Lin waved her small fist angrily, and Jiang Chen was hit twice on the back because of this.

“It’s getting late, it’s time to leave.”

“I really look forward to it, I wonder what the celebration of this world will look like.”

Xia Shiyu and Natasha walked out of the room together. Both of them dressed very warmly. Xia Shiyu’s dress looked more formal, while Natasha preferred to be more casual… From the beginning, she came here with the mentality of a tourist to participate in the New Year’s Eve celebration.

Yao Yao, in a down jacket, walked out of the room last. The white fleece collar covered her white neck tightly as if her whole face was buried in warmness. Perhaps it was because she carefully chose her outfit for a long time but in the end, had to choose this thick down jacket, for her little hands repeatedly pinched the hem of the dress she wore and she looked slightly depressed.

“Very cute.”

Jiang Chen could swear that he did not lie nor did he say this sentence in a comforting tone.

However, Yao Yao who heard this sentence looked a little surprised. She blushed and felt slightly at a loss.

“Really, really?”

AHH…

Yao Yao is still the cutest!

Jiang Chen, who was immersed in his thought, noticed that at least seven pairs of eyes looked piercingly at him.

He blushed, looked around, and finally stared fiercely at Lilith, who stood in the corner and said with a look in his eyes.

“Why are you getting involved in this!”

…

The celebration was held in the large theater in the center of Wanghai City, which was converted into a circular theater from the crater left by God’s Cane. The guests that participated in the celebration were the residents from Wanghai, as well as the guests from Shangjing City or even the guests who rushed back from distant overseas colonies.

The celebration consisted of more than 30 programs, performed by more than 100 pre-war and post-war stars, and sponsored by 300 companies.

From singing to stage plays, the programs covered all aspects, just like the Spring Festival Gala held every year before the war. Except, the Spring Festival Gala was no longer held here at NAC and the celebration was changed to a large-scale celebration on New Year’s Eve every year.

Before all the celebrations began, Jiang Chen stood at the highest point of the stage, looked around the crowd of people, and delivered a New Year speech.

“To my compatriots, my comrades-in-arms, all the people living in this land.”

As the general’s voice sounded, the people that sat around the circular theater gradually calmed down. All eyes were focused on him from all directions, either excited, respectful, or with yearning…

With completely different emotions but the same respect, everyone waited for him, waited for this great leader to continue his speech.

“Today is the twenty-seventh year of the apocalypse.”

“It’s an honor to stand here and announce this to everyone.”

“We are still alive.” After a moment of pause, Jiang Chen continued in a clear voice, “At this moment, there is only one thing I want to say while standing here.”

“… We have used our own lives to prove how stupid the people who abandoned us are, how weak their despair and frustration are. Look back, take a good look, and look at the problems we solved. We thought they were invincible, but now when we look back, the problems behind us are nothing at all!”

“On the last day of the century, I solemnly tell you that there is no apocalypse in this world! And we, as victors, are standing at the door of the twenty-third century. Look at the Holy Shield in the sky, and then look around you, the future is beckoning to us.”

The mood reached a climax.

Although it could not be heard, it was visible.

“Cheers! The night belongs to you, this celebration is a carnival for the victors.”

“Cheers! Not for me, but for the moment the world government announced the end, you who have survived to this day, yourselves!”

The atmosphere at the theatre was pushed to a boiling point.

“Long live your Majesty General!”

“Long live the NAC!”

“Greatness! Rejuvenation!”

People cheered, raised their fists, waved the flag in their hands, and threw the light sticks in their hands into the air. Although the show did not start yet, no show would make them as emotional as now.

The soldiers who stood on the edge of the theater with their rifles on duty were also at their emotional peak.

Because they were on duty, they did not cheer or even applaud. But from the emotions in their eyes, it was not difficult to see the excitement, warmth… and pride. NAC was able to expand from a small place in the beginning to where it is nowadays, with colonies far overseas, was mainly due to their contributions.

“Thanks.”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly in front of the frantic cheers, saluted the crowd, handed the microphone to the host who just managed to recollect his thought, and walked behind the stage.
