Chapter 78:

For a period of time before, I went out with Hollande every day to repair the program, and yesterday Hollande even borrowed the hard drive. When he received Hollande's gift, Fu Shiwu took a look at the size and felt it in his hand, and he guessed it.
He was really happy to receive the hard drive repair as a gift, but Tang Xuhai's chocolate was completely unexpected. Dramatically speaking, the surprise was comparable.
Fu Shiwu showed a smile on his face and said happily, "This is for me, right."
He raised his eyes and looked at Tang Xuhai, who was holding the chocolate in his hand. It was obvious that what he meant was to give him as a gift, and he was afraid that Tang Xuhai would change his mind.
It seems that Fu Shiwu really likes to eat this kind of chocolate. Tang Xuhai feels relieved, put the whole plate of unopened chocolate in his palm, and said with a little joy in his tone: "Of course it’s for you. ."
In all human and material botanical gardens in Peicheng, all production is mainly about food, clothing, housing and transportation, which are the most important aspects of ensuring people's livelihood. Chocolate now exists as a pure luxury just like tobacco, alcohol and tea, and production has been completely stopped.
The main ingredient of chocolate is cocoa powder, and no one in Peicheng bothered to grow cocoa, a plant that grows in the damp tropics. It is not as important as rubber and sugar cane.
In addition, after the cessation of production, the brand that Fu Shiwu liked was imported under the authorization of foreign countries. It was not the domestically produced one with large stocks. Except for large supermarkets, small shops and small supermarkets would not buy this kind of chocolate.
This made this kind of chocolate basically extinct. It was Tang Xuhai who went to the luxury store to find it at a high price.
For Shi Wu, he likes to eat this kind of chocolate. Besides his sweet tooth, this kind of chocolate accompanies him through the last peaceful life before the sky begins. Later, I was reluctant to eat, as a calorie supplement to flee all the way, it can be said that it has a different meaning.
The last chocolates were mischievous by Shi Zheng's men on the modified car, and I didn't know where they were digested.
Fu Shiwu cherished the opening of the chocolate, took out a small strip from the inside, unwrapped the wrapping paper, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
A burst of fragrant chocolate mixed with the sweetness of milk instantly melted on his taste buds.
"Thank you, Xu Hai." Fu Shiwu's eyes curled up in joy. The sweet feeling in his mouth penetrated into his heart, and his body was not so cold anymore. Fu Shiwu was not willing to chew as boldly as before, instead he held it.
Tang Xuhai stared at him without turning his eyes, and didn't realize how silly the smile on his face was.
A burst of noise came from the direction of the living room, and Fu Shiwu reflexively hid the chocolate in his pocket.
The smile on Tang Xuhai's face faded, his eyes calmly looking at Hollande who was surrounded by the crowd.
Hollande crowded in the middle and said to Fu Shiwu from a distance: "Shi Wu, I prepared fireworks, let's set them off together."
Fu Shiwu pressed the chocolate under his tongue, responded vaguely, and then turned around and pulled Tang Xuhai toward them.
Hollande was helpless. Originally repairing the hard drive in advance to pay Shi Wu was only the first surprise tonight. He also bothered to prepare a very romantic and sentimental fireworks display. Unfortunately, this follow-up plan to be alone with Fu Shiwu was lost to Miao Jia. Inadvertently ruined.
Hollande was embarrassed by Miao Jia holding his thigh. How can Hollande have the mind to write what email address? It’s past 12 midnight, Fu Shiwu doesn’t know where to go anymore, and he should go to bed later. , The prepared things are meaningless.
So he had to tell Miao Jia that there was a show, and Miao Jia let go of his hand reluctantly.
But he said in front of everyone that other people naturally can't miss the excitement, they can only come out together.
Everyone walked to the gate of the courtyard, where a few unremarkable firework tubes were placed in the dark.
Miao Jia and Zhen Zi ran forward excitedly and lit the firework tube with a lighter.
"Shoo-shoo-shoo...slap! Slap! Slap!..."
A series of fireworks exploded in the sky, dotted with light red sky curtains. The splendid fireworks are bright and splendid in an instant, the ultimate dreamy beauty.
Fu Shiwu's emotions gradually became heavier. He looked at the fireworks that had faded a little against the pale red sky, and hoped that one day he could see the night sky for a long time...
Tang Xuhai and Hollande were not very satisfied with the night, and did not achieve the desired effect at all.
Tang Xuhai's fear of Hollande even increased by a level. Compared with Hollande's number of stages, he really didn't look enough.
This made him involuntarily depressed and restless for a while, self-doubt that with such a powerful opponent, could he really make Fu Shiwu like him?
In this restless mood, the New Year's party came.
No one can see these fluctuations in Tang Xuhai's heart on the surface.
He has always been a stubborn temper, and will not show weakness or show any negative emotions.
Fu Shiwu prepared to see the dress of the ball without knowing it, and it was Wang Dan who gave him a reference.
He was wearing a decent suit with a suit vest and a shirt.
"Will it be too cold?" Wang Dan said while holding his arms and pressing his chin with one hand.
Fu Shiwu looked at the black suit that was cut to fit the full-length mirror. His expression was awe-inspiring, and his hair was neatly fitted, giving people a sharp and very majestic sense of boldness. The only awkward thing is that there is neither tie nor bow tie around the neck.
At this time, Fu Shiwu himself looked awkward, his shoulders collapsed, and he said to Wang Dan without any expression: "There is a thick coat outside, but it won't be cold, but it looks really good without a tie or bow tie. Something is wrong."
Wang Dan thought the same way, but Fu Shiwu’s special circumstances prevented him from wrapping things around his neck at all. She said in her mouth,
It’s a bit wrong, but you don’t need to fasten the buttons so tightly. To the point. You try this..."
Wang Dan walked over in a few steps. She was wearing a ball dress and high heels today. His hair was slightly long in curls, his face was slightly rich in makeup, and his lips were painted with bright red lip color. It changed the image of the heroic female man in the past and turned into a enchanting queen fan.
She came over, stood very close, reached out and unbuttoned two of Fu Shiwu's buttoned shirts, and then pulled his collar to the sides: "How about a little leisure like this?"
Fu Shiwu became uncomfortable when she was so close. When she let go, she hurriedly stood aside, secretly relieved.
Wang Dan noticed his uncomfortableness, gave him a surprised look, and curled the corner of his mouth without any trace, but just stood in the opposite direction of him.
Fu Shiwu looked at himself in the mirror, and the untied opening made the awkward feeling disappear. Fu Shiwu pursed his mouth and shook his head: "It's a bit too serious."
Wang Dan put his hand amusedly and said: "It doesn't matter. There is no such rigid requirement for a New Year's dance like this. You have to wear a tie and tie, as long as you wear formal clothes. Besides..."
Wang Dan brushed his nail polished fingers under his lips, and said encouragingly to Fu Shiwu: "Even if your current identity is a little bit out of the ordinary, no one will criticize it, but think that this is your characteristic. The style."
Wang Dan didn't know what he had thought of, and smiled with an unclear smile: "So, in order to dress freely in formal occasions in the future, you have to work hard to become stronger."
Fu Shiwu was startled, and solemnly said "Um".
Reluctantly to sort out the appearance, Fu Shiwu took the lead to go out. The two walked one after the other towards the living room. The left and right floors were connected to the main building. They walked to the main building and then went down the stairs.
The appearance of Fu Shiwu makes people shine, and Wang Dan is simply amazing.
"Wow! Sister Wang, you are so beautiful~" Zhen Zi was shocked.
Wang Dan said with a smile, "Thank you, you are also very beautiful today."
Zhen Zi also wore a ball dress today. Her outfit was not as bright and charming as Wang Dan, but she also looked youthful and lovely.
In Zhen Zi's own words, she is still young, so she won't be able to make up for it if she misses it in the future.
Tang Xuhai did not wear a formal suit, instead he wore a casual-style suit. In the winter, he calmly opened his jacket, with a tight waistcoat inside, and one more shirt was untied than Fu Shiwu's. .
Fu Shiwu was taken aback when he wore it like this.
Despite the casual wear, Tang Xuhai's deep contoured facial features, his short hair and thick and developed chest muscles make people feel unruly and unrestrained.
Tang Xuhai originally leaned on the back of the sofa chair, saw him come down and straighten up, and praised: "Yes, very energetic."
Hollande wears the same formal attire as Fu Shiwu wears. He wears a bow tie, while other men wear ties or bow ties except for different colors and materials.
Finally, there was someone who didn't carry anything like him, and Fu Shiwu's heart fell into his stomach.
Tang Xuhai didn't think so much at first, he just simply didn't like the formal suit to be like a formal suit, and tied a bow tie to make it uncomfortable. He didn't walk past until he saw Fu Shiwu with his collar open, and directly wrapped his arm around Fu Shiwu's neck, and said with a smile: "I'm with you."
Fu Shiwu's body stiffened, then leaned on him relaxedly, smiled, and said nothing.
The place where the New Year's Ball is held is the Grand Ballroom on the second floor of the newly built Peicheng Hotel in the Xincheng District.
Recently, due to the decrease of the large stock of aliens, humans have slightly grasped the initiative, and communication between cities has also resumed. The high-level Peicheng built this hotel to provide accommodation for people from the past corps and guilds.
This time, the people who were invited were all the heads and brains of Peicheng, and there were also some high-level figures from well-known corps and guilds, as well as adventure teams, as well as some rich and powerful people in Peicheng.
Of course, the status of these rich and powerful people has plummeted, but because these people were very knowledgeable about the current affairs and handed over a large amount of property, land and materials, they were able to receive the protection of the high-level Peicheng, and can live safely until now.
The money in the bank can only be called a number now, but these people still have some materials left in their homes. Few of them have the courage to go up the city wall or leave Peicheng to do missions in the wild. Therefore, they are looking forward to this New Year's Prom more than anyone else. They want to strengthen these upstarts and cling to these emerging forces in order to continue to live a good life.
The senior leaders of the Dragon Bone Corps were respectfully led into the banquet hall and joined this lively and extraordinary place.
The waiters at the banquet are all mutants. They were neatly dressed, although they did not have uniform clothes, they tried their best to wear white and black clothes. With a tray in hand, he humblely served the guests at the banquet.
Tang Xuhai took two wine glasses from the tray smoothly, lowered his head and sniffed and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Fu Shiwu asked him puzzled.
Tang Xuhai hadn't answered yet, but Hollande, who stood by, said clearly, "Isn't the bar offered at the dance party?"
Tang Xuhai's face faded, and the corners of his lips were moved, and he said, "The glass is not wine, it's carbonated drinks."
Fu Shiwu was surprised, and he lowered his head to Tang Xuhaiduan and sniffed the cup in front of him. A burst of soda with a familiar taste, and the water vapor even splashed on Fu Shiwu's face.
"Really..." Fu Shiwu said strangely, "How could it be carbonated drinks?"
Shouldn't there be drinks or anything at the party?
Because Fu Shiwu approached without warning, Tang Xuhai's heart rate was messed up for a while. He cleared his throat and said, "Even Peicheng's financial resources cannot afford a banquet and alcohol dance party. Now high-end tobacco, alcohol and tea have become a complete luxury. The low-end products are running out."
Tang Xuhai was looking for gifts for Fu Shi Wu some time ago, but after having been in contact with these luxury goods for a while, he guessed that Peicheng should not be able to afford the wine for the entire banquet.
But I didn't expect to use carbonated drinks.
Fu Shiwu looked up, looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Does that chocolate also belong to luxury goods?"
Fu Shiwu's reaction is not slow, and the raw materials for making chocolate are still rarer than tobacco, alcohol and tea.
Tang Xuhai smiled, stretched out his hand from his back to the back of his head, and gently tugged his hair: "Although the production of chocolate has been discontinued, people think it is not so valuable compared to tobacco, alcohol and tea."
High-end tobacco and alcohol can maintain their value, but the tea is fresh in the past, and the value of aged tea will decrease over time.
Sugar products, because of the large amount of sugar cane planted in the botanical garden, are still normal items that can be consumed daily.
Chocolate is also a sugar, and it has become a luxury item only because the raw materials are not easily available.
Fu Shiwu shook his head, avoided Tang Xuhai's hand, and took a step back.
Tang Xuhai retracted his hand regretfully, holding a cup, and standing there with his hands behind his back.
At this time, the people attending the dance were almost coming one after another. At this time, a man who looked like a host stepped onto the speech platform at the end of the banquet hall.
"Everyone, welcome to the New Year's New Year Ball. On behalf of Peicheng, I wish everyone good health and all the best in the new year. I also hope that Peicheng will get better and better in the coming year." It looks like he is in his forties, wearing a tunic suit, calmly facing hundreds of people off the court and said: "In the past year, we have had a difficult year, a tragic year... …"
"Who is this?" Fu Shiwu asked Miao Jia quietly. Miao Jia seemed to be very interested in the buffet food provided at the prom, and ate silently with a small plate in his hand.
Miao Jia looked up: "He, he seems to be the new mayor of Peicheng. It seems that the last name is 　......"
"　 Zhenhua." Wen Zhaoming took a small sip from the cup. Then frowning without a trace, soda drinks are not his love.
The mayor's speech on the stage was still an official article, but he was sincere and sincere. The speech was obviously written by someone with outstanding literary skills, which was very moving.
At least Fu Shiwu listened very carefully.
　Zhenhua’s speech was not long, it was over in just a few minutes, and then came up a man in his forties in a crisp military uniform.
Seeing this man, Fu Shiwu was surprised, Tang Xuhai was shocked, Wen Zhaoming's eyes widened, Miao Jia and the other friends both had blank expressions.
"Guests, good evening." The man's voice was low and steady. Standing there he felt a sense of dignity and dignity, which made Fu Shiwu very envious. "On behalf of all officers and soldiers of the Military Region of H Province, I wish you all a Happy New Year."
When his voice fell, the people standing below clapped involuntarily.
Fu Shiwu was shocked when he discovered Tang Xuhai. He tilted his head and made a louder step, overwhelming the applause: "Xuhai, you know this officer."
Tang Xuhai was taken aback, turned his head and said in his ear: "This is Liu Xiangyang from the Military Region of H Province, Major General Dumplings. Didn't I say that I have come to Peicheng to participate in the King of War contest? I saw him at that time. "
Fu Shiwu nodded clearly: "It seems that this is the victor of the internal battle of the military faction."
Wen Zhaoming quietly walked over and said, "You are right. This is the newly appointed military commander, but he is now promoted to Lieutenant General Dumpling. The previous commander died of infection from the source, so the interior of the Military Region of H Province has been Very unstable."
Fu Shiwu pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes sharply, looked at Liu Xiangyang in the distance, and slowly said, "I don't care about his faction, but I just hope that his thoughts will not be used for internal friction, more attention. Alien threat."
Miao Jia immersed himself in eating, chewed and raised his head, reaching out in agreement to give Shi Wubi a thumb.
Tang Xuhai's eyes flashed, and he patted him on the shoulder and said, "According to my understanding, this is a representative of the young and strong school. He has a tough style, and he is not one who is willing to put all his experience on these battles. character."
Fu Shiwu sighed and said, "That's good."
Hollande was just listening attentively. Liu Peiqi didn't have much to do with this. The boss above said that he would leave wherever he wanted. Anyway, he only admitted Shi Wu.
Zhen Zi was slightly bored listening to Liu Xiangyang's speech without ups and downs, and said to Wang Dan, "Sister Wang, do you want to eat?"
Wang Dan was taken aback, turned his head and said to her: "You can help me get some."
Liu Xiangyang's speech was a bit longer than Zhenhua's. Most of what he said was his gratitude for the previous siege of Peicheng. After his speech, Zhenhua went up to announce the beginning of the dance.
There are six men and two ladies from the Dragon Bone Corps.
According to ordinary dances, men must at least bring their companions into the venue, but now no one cares so much, most of them are men who come in groups.
After the opening of the sky, women have no fewer awakening abilities and mutations than men, but because of their weak personality and natural sensibility, the proportion of surviving women has dropped drastically.
Obviously, both Fu Shiwu and Tang Xuhai didn’t even think about coming to the ball and really want to dance. Wang Dan didn’t expect them to have this consciousness. Wen Zhaoming has such a gentleman’s demeanor, but Wang Dan wouldn’t just be able to adapt. The prosthetic person went to dance with her, so he could only target Hollande and Liu Peiqi Miaojia.
Looking at these three men, Wang Dan decisively chose Hollande.
Wang Dan stepped over, curled his lips and smiled, and said to Hollande: "Can you ask me to dance?"
Hollande's education since he was a child made it impossible for him to refuse a woman's active invitation to dance. It was impolite.
Hollande bends down slightly and stretches out his arms: "My honor."
The two of them were gone, Zhen Zi looked enviously at their backs, Zhen Zi turned to take a look, and decisively extended the magic hand to Miao Jia.
She went straight up and dragged Miao Jia away: "Dance with me!"
Miao Jia struggled to stuff the plate on his hand to a passing waiter: "Wait a minute! I won't."
"It's okay! I teach you." Zhen Zi took Miao Jia away aggressively.
The way Miao Jia was dragged was too pitiful, and Liu Peiqi was happy.
Fu Shiwuzhen looked at them and smiled, and Wen Zhaoming suddenly stabbed him: "Someone is here."
Fu Shiwu turned his head and saw the mayor leading the Lieutenant General Liu who was speaking.
Seeing them staring in this direction and walking without hesitation, Fu Shiwu realized that these people were their target, and suddenly became nervous.
This is a mayor and a military commander. The only leaders he has ever seen since childhood were the chief and the officer in the warehouse center!
Fu Shiwu stiffened all over, and his face suddenly lost his expression.
Wen Zhaoming stood obliquely to Fu Shiwu's left. Tang Xuhai tilted his head and approached Fu Shiwu's right hand. The two men fought against him, and the confidence suddenly made Fu Shiwu's nervousness less severe.
