"who I am?"
"You are Twilight."
"Where do I come from?"
"You are born of fire."
"and who are you?"
"Me? Well, if you want, I can be your father. I will protect you through the most difficult part of the road, and I can guide you so that you can avoid some detours."
"Oh, what's your name then?"
"My name is Allen."
Many people may have forgotten that such a town was located near the desert a long time ago. The town is not big, but there are many people living in it. During the most difficult time, the people in the town supported each other and walked over together. Many children were born in the town, and many old people died in the town. Some people come, some people go. This nameless town just witnessed people's life and death, people coming and going.
Until one day, a disaster suddenly struck and completely erased the town from history.
After the town was abandoned, the buildings collapsed and the streets began to be filled with yellow sand. If there is no accident, it will disappear in the desert forever and become a part of the desert. However, one day, the original site of the town suddenly turned into an oasis. The reason for using sudden is because this oasis appeared overnight. Moreover, the desert seemed to be blocked by an invisible force, and the yellow sand stopped and did not move forward.
Gradually, there are some "residents" on the oasis, which are small animals living nearby. They come to the oasis to have a habitat. Their favorite place is a tin hut full of sunflowers on the oasis. Soon after, several rabbits made a nest here.
Occasionally people come to the oasis, but don't come here, don't leave, it doesn't affect the animals living in it. But today, a group of people suddenly appeared. They came to the oasis and came to the sunflower. The rabbits in the tin house are very nervous, and their happy life seems to be over.
“Are you going to rebuild this place?” asks a short-haired girl, looking very special in a neutral safari suit.
A young man in the lead shook his head and said, "If we want to rebuild the original site, this piece of sunflower will have to be demolished. So let's build another one, right next to it. What do you think?"
A black-haired woman with a reddish complexion and a heroic look all over her body said: "So, do you need to chop wood? Leave it to me. I used to do this a lot when I was in the tribe. "
A woman with ponytails next to her shook her head and said, "With him here, why do you need to do these heavy jobs."
"That's right, we might as well go for a walk and build a house, of course it's the men who do it." The woman with dazzling blond hair said so, and then said to another tall and beautiful woman next to her, "Come on, let's take Twilight is wandering around. Look, there's a lake over there, and we can fence it off and plant some flowers for decoration."
The tall beauty was holding a five or six-year-old girl by the hand. The little girl is very beautiful and cute, and what is more special is that there are three small diamond-shaped crystals embedded in the center of her eyebrows, which are distributed in the shape of clover.
"All right, all of you, go play, I'll work. There's no way, who made me the only man here?" After the young man drove all the women away, he started to work. He first cleared an open space near the tin house. The cleaning process was very simple. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the ground, and a large area of debris on the ground disappeared, and a large enough foundation appeared. Then his figure kept flashing, and every time he disappeared and reappeared, he would bring stone pillars. He cut the stone pillar into the shape he wanted, and then with a wave of his hand, the stones floated into the air, assembled in mid-air, and formed a wall when they fell to the ground.
Soon, a house appeared in the oasis, about three stories high, and a small warehouse was built next to it. When the man was building the roof, a girl in a hunting suit came over and said, "Well, there is still one square left, and a fountain, and finally pull down the wall, and it will be a small manor."
"I need a garden!" exclaimed the blond woman radiating by the alley.
"I want a training ground!" The black-haired and red-skinned woman also said.
"Okay, okay, ladies, can't I cover it?"
"The young man spread his hands.
A few days later, a manor has begun to take shape. In addition to the main building, there are warehouses, auxiliary buildings, gardens, squares, and other facilities. In a few days, there will be a stone fence around the lake on the oasis, and a small road will be paved in the oasis leading to the road. A few days later, there were more awnings by the lake, more canoes in the lake, and more lotus flowers in the lake. There are also more trees in the oasis, and small wooden houses are built on the trees. Under a tree, the young man made another swing. In the evening, the blond woman would sit on the swing with the little girl in her arms, enjoying the beautiful sunset.
A month later, the oasis has changed drastically. Standing on the road and looking down, there are more manors and many facilities. The young man stretched his waist in satisfaction and said, "Let's live here from now on."
The female-haired woman standing next to him said, "It's a pity that Xia Gelin doesn't come with us."
"She doesn't want to disturb our honeymoon, and it's not very easy to take care of little Leian here. In short, let's take a good vacation here, play for a year or so before going back."
Time flies, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. The news spread that there was an additional manor in the oasis, and gradually, people began to come to the oasis, intending to build houses here. The owner of the manor agreed generously, but there was only one requirement, that the tin house and the sunflowers must be kept. Moreover, try to keep the original appearance of the oasis. In this way, more and more people came to the oasis, and those latecomers could not get any land in the oasis, so they simply built it outside.
Of course, during this period, some unsightly people planned to occupy the manor, and even wanted to monopolize the oasis. These people usually disappear for no apparent reason and are never seen again. Not long after, an army came to the oasis, and they all came with the family symbol of Bethkind when they came. After arriving, they tore off the sign and became guards to maintain order in the oasis.
A year later, there was a small town on the edge of the oasis, which was decided by the owner of the manor, and it was called Rand Town.
There is a tavern in the town of Rand, and every evening, the owner of the manor comes either alone or with one or two of his beautiful little wives. They don't have any airs, and they can mingle with anyone in the tavern. Occasionally, they would bring their own homemade pumpkin pie, or a cake that was so delicious that they would share it out. Their generosity and kindness won the love and respect of the people in the town.
That night, the owner of the manor came to the tavern alone. The tavern had just opened, and the young bartender greeted him to the table he usually used.
"Still the same, sir?" the bartender asked.
"Still the same," said the master of the manor.
After a while, a bottle of rum and a plate of dried mutton were delivered to him. The number of people in the tavern gradually increased. People greeted each other and told interesting stories that happened today.
Suddenly a man broke in and said loudly: "I want to tell you a piece of good news. I have obtained the right to live in New Babylon. I just received the letter. I am really sorry for everyone, but I still decided to move to New Babylon!"
"God, you're lucky, Bob."
"You must treat me tonight!"
"That's right, come on, just bring up the wine and put it in the account of this lucky guy."
The man named Bob said embarrassingly, "Please forgive me, it will cost a lot of money to move."
At this time, the owner of the manor stood up and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll pay the bill. Everyone can eat and drink whatever they want, and consider it a congratulatory gift for Bob."
People immediately cheered.
At this time, an oasis guard entered the tavern and whispered to the owner of the manor. The young man nodded: "I see."
Then he stood up and smiled, "There's a little trouble, I'll deal with it and I'll be back, but wait for me to drink together, you drunkards, don't drink up all the wine."
The men laughed.
After leaving the tavern, the young man's figure flashed and disappeared into the air. When it reappeared, it had come to a checkpoint on the road. The checkpoint was set up not long ago, and you need to pass the checkpoint to enter Rand Town. On the checkpoint, a captain saw the owner of the manor and ran over quickly to say
: "Young master, the other party seems to have bad intentions."
He points ahead.
In the distance, a convoy could be vaguely seen coming along the road. Judging from their speed, they will arrive here in ten minutes. The owner of the manor laughed, "Those guys in the town are celebrating, don't let them disturb everyone's interest, let me go and have a look."
Then it went straight out of the checkpoint and disappeared on the road.
Crazy music was playing on the road, and on a modified off-road vehicle, a man with a lot of tattoos raised a rifle and fired a bullet into the sky, shouting: "Go, brothers. That oasis town is Ours, tomorrow morning, we can sleep in that manor. By the way, I heard that the women in the manor are very beautiful, I want to sleep three!"
"Then what about us, boss!"
"Who cares about you, you bastards."
Strange laughter and strange screams sounded in the convoy, and suddenly, a man appeared in front of the road. The convoy had no time to stop, so it ran directly towards him. The man raised his hand and pointed at the convoy. The leading off-road vehicle flew up as if hitting an invisible wall, and then the convoys collided in a series, knocking all the cars to one side.
"Bastard, what's going on here." The leader of the convoy got up, his face was covered in blood, he raised his rifle and fired at the man.
After scanning for a round, he found that the opponent was not injured at all. The man shook his head and sighed: "No matter when, there will always be bastards like you. Back then, the town was destroyed by people like you. But it is not what it used to be. Now Rand Town will not Let you bastards destroy it again. Because I am here, the town is here!"
Then the man waved his hand, and the leader saw the people and cars behind him disappearing into the air. He had never seen such a thing before, trembling with fright, looked at the man and said, "Who are you?"
"me?"
The man smiled: "My name is Alan, Alan Bethkind."
Then the leader also disappeared.
Allen clapped his hands and exhaled: "It's finally quiet, I hope those guys didn't drink all the wine..."
As he walked forward, his figure flickered and disappeared into the night.

It's finally finished.
On the first day of November 2014, the new book "Edge of Doom" was released. It took three years and more than 50,000 words. This is the second book written by Lao Chen. I dare not say how well this book is written, but the plot and characters conceived at that time have been completely written. I can't say how perfect the ending is, but finally the more important characters in the book have a decent ending.
Every book is like a journey, and during this journey, Lao Chen made more friends. Brother Xiang and Su are old friends from the last book, Yinzhizhi, wookaide123, Lonely Galaxy, Deducting Piehehe, Qingdong, etc. were met in this book. Of course, if there are too many people, maybe I will remember it wrong. If you make a mistake, just laugh and don't hit me. Haha, anyway, thanks to every old and new friend for their support, and thanks to my brothers for accompanying me on this journey.
Now that "Doomsday" is finished, we will start a new journey again. I hope that there will still be you on that journey, and I hope that we can meet more friends.
