The two came to the foot of the Sentinel Tower. Since it is located on the edge of the Eternal City, there are only large tracts of various landscapes here, and there are no residences or functional buildings. Naturally, it is also inaccessible.

Just as Zhou Cheng and Qingwen were walking among the landscapes, talking and laughing, not far ahead, at the edge of the no-fly zone of the Sentinel Tower, there were a lot of aircraft on the lawn where they parked their aircraft. This made them feel...

It's strange, because it's almost impossible to have a gathering in a place like this.

After approaching, the door of the aircraft opened. Two or three people got out of each aircraft. They stood in a row in front of the parking area, and then raised their arms. The bracelets projected several images on the heads of the crowd.

"Don't desecrate the Crystal Wall, no matter who you are!"

"The symbol of the Eternal City is not a testing ground for your personal desires!"

"Please cherish the glory of your previous era, otherwise you will become a disrespected person!"

"..."

Zhou Cheng looked at these glittering slogans and was puzzled:

"They are..."

Qingwen lowered her eyes and whispered:

"Don't worry about them, let's leave quickly."

When walking through the crowd, Zhou Cheng clearly felt the strange and fiery eyes of people staring at him. The reason why it was strange was that Zhou Cheng could see the indignation they wanted to convey in their eyes. But it seemed that it had been a long time.

I was so angry that I seemed a little unfamiliar, even childish.

After the spacecraft took off, Zhou Cheng looked at the disappearing subtitles on the ground and asked:

"Are they protesting against our work on renovating the sentry tower?"

Qingwen said helplessly:

"Hey! Don't pay attention to them. In every era there are such passionate people who think they are safeguarding social fairness and justice."

Zhou Cheng still looked at the crowd with only one small spot of light left and sneered:

"Haha, I'm afraid they are not worried about the so-called fairness and justice, but they are worried that my work will affect their current living conditions!"

Qingwen said:

"It's not difficult to understand. The current society, life, ecology and other aspects can be said to be the best era in history. People don't want to have any more disturbances."

Zhou Cheng chuckled:

"Haha, they may have forgotten that the only reason why we can live such a comfortable and potential life today is that some people have always refused to accept the rules and regulations that have been arranged."

Qingwen said calmly:

"We can't ask everyone to have such an awareness. Let them go and don't take it to heart."

Zhou Cheng suddenly thought of something and said hastily:

"Judging from the content of the slogan, do they know who I am?"

Qingwen said:

"It's not surprising. Your physical characteristics are very different from those of people of this era. Moreover, you have received so many commendations from the commander in public before, so it is not difficult to recognize you."

Zhou Cheng nodded doubtfully and looked back instinctively. At this time, he found a few small bright spots in the night sky behind him that seemed to be following them.

"They are following us again? Isn't this illegal?"

Qingwen called up the radar image of the spacecraft, and there were indeed several bright spots behind them.

"From the perspective of the current laws of the Eternal City, as long as they are not using autopilot to follow us without consent, it is not illegal. But judging from the actual situation, they are indeed manually driving the spacecraft to follow us."

Zhou Cheng turned his head and said angrily:

Novels, welcome to download

"It's such a ridiculous law. Then let's not go to the Cloud Restaurant. Let's go back and talk about it first."

Although Qingwen was a little disappointed, she didn't object.

As the spacecraft landed in the yard, Zhou Cheng saw several aircraft parked on the roadside where he lived. This was not common. When it was almost approaching the ground, the people on the aircraft came down.

.The protest slogan projection appeared in front of him again.

After the spacecraft landed, Zhou Cheng angrily opened the hatch of the spacecraft and strode out of the yard. Qingwen quickly followed after seeing this.

"Are you done yet?" Zhou Cheng yelled at the protestors through gritted teeth.

But those people did not give in at all because of Zhou Cheng's rage. One of the people at the front of the queue said arrogantly like a warden lecturing a prisoner:

"If I were you, I wouldn't feel angry, but ashamed!"

Zhou Cheng was furious and raised his fist uncontrollably. Qingwen beside him was startled and exclaimed:

"Zhou Cheng!"

The man in front of him showed no fear and still looked at him with disdain. Zhou Cheng was stunned for a while, put down his fist, snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the yard.

"We know about your glory in the past era, but that does not belong to the present. The golden age no longer needs your suspicion, recklessness and bravery." A sinister voice came from behind.

Zhou Cheng's emotions had calmed down a lot. He turned around and looked at the man and asked:

"Then what do you think the current golden age is based on?"

The man replied:

"That is no longer important. The eternal prosperity of civilization is the only important thing now."

"Are you so sure that the so-called prosperity now is eternal?" Zhou Cheng asked rhetorically.

"As long as there are no people like you trying to destroy the balance for the sake of fame and reputation, we have nothing to worry about." The man replied confidently.

Zhou Cheng originally wanted to say something, but the words reached his throat and he swallowed them back. Because he felt that there was always someone with abnormal brains between himself and these people, and normal people and madmen could not communicate. He stopped paying attention.

They turned around and walked towards the yard again.

Just as he walked to the door, the strange voice came from behind again:

"If you can't accept all this, leave the Eternal City, or leave this era. You are not needed here."

After walking into the courtyard, Qingwen quickly activated the sound and light curtain, and the people, slogans and voices outside the courtyard immediately disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

"Don't worry about these people. They don't represent this era. I believe you are doing the right thing." Qingwen said.

Zhou Cheng's mood was a little low, and he said solemnly:

"Really?"

Then he raised his head and stared blankly at the still bright starry sky, where the stars, the Milky Way, and the bright moon still reflected each other. After being stunned for a long time, he returned to the house without saying a word.

In the next few days, no matter where Zhou Cheng went, protestors would always appear around them like ghosts, which made Zhou Cheng very angry. For several days, he couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep at night.

Zhou Cheng's face was gray and his mood was depressed.

Seeing Zhou Cheng's haggard face and his mood becoming increasingly depressed, Qingwen suggested:

"How about we stay somewhere else for a while? Well, how about we go to the Valles Marineris simulated ecological area on Mars, or to the Maxwell Mountain Resort on Venus, or else we can go to the orbit of Jupiter or the asteroid belt. There is nothing in those places now.

After a while, those extremists will stop."

Zhou Cheng sat on the sofa and slowly shook his head:

"I'm afraid that extremist is me, and all humans in the Eternal City are against my approach."

——

Qingwen held Zhou Cheng's cold palm and looked at him sincerely:

"No, you don't need to pay attention to them. No one will remember them after a while. Let's go out and relax. I'm worried about your current state!"

Zhou Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up:

"I know a place that you probably haven't been to either. Let's go there!"

Qingwen's face immediately burst into a bright smile:

"Then don't change your mind, we're leaving now!"
