"The sun sets over the western hills, crimson clouds take flight, warriors return to camp after target practice, return to camp…"
It was pitch black outside, and suddenly, a "resounding" chorus rose beneath the dim yellow streetlights. A few pedestrians and vehicles couldn't help but turn their heads curiously, only to see two long lines of people slowly approaching from the distance. The crowd was diverse, with middle-aged and young people making up the majority, each one looking skyward, every single one appearing utterly committed. The off-key singing, mingled with voices like cracked gongs, involuntarily brought smiles to the listeners' faces.
This was a road that led into and out of the city, and with Xiangzhou's big construction boom, the most common sight on this road was large trucks laden with steel bars, cement, and other building materials. The heavy transport convoys, endless in their passage, had quickly turned the concrete road pitted and uneven.
