Chapter 669 Tacit Understanding

After Smith left the office, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away in the empty corridor, and finally disappeared at the end. Bai Ye looked at his leaving figure with mixed feelings in her heart. He sighed softly, and his eyes fell on the diary on the table again. The weight of hope and disappointment made him shake his head.

Finally, Bai Ye made a decision. He stretched out his hand, picked up the diary, and gently rubbed the cover with his fingers, as if saying goodbye to a period of time in the past. Then, he turned towards the trash can in the corner of the room and threw the diary in without any hesitation. At that moment, he felt both relief and regret, but more importantly, determination for the future.

After finishing the diary, Bai Ye organized his thoughts and prepared to leave the office. He knew that he still had many things to do, and that this city and these survivors all needed his leadership and guidance. He opened the door and stepped into the night, his steps firm and powerful.

After passing through several dim streets, Baiye came to an abandoned factory on the edge of the city. Here is the place where Magneto, the old man with the ability to control metal, chose to be his base after the end of the world. The gate of the factory has long been dilapidated, but under the control of Magneto, the surrounding metal fragments seemed to have come to life, automatically arranging into a unique protective net to protect this area.

Bai Ye pushed open the protective net and walked into the factory. Under the dim light, Magneto was sitting on a chair made of scrap machine parts, playing with a small magnet in his hand, his eyes shining with excitement. Seeing the arrival of Bai Ye, he immediately stood up with a proud smile on his face.

"Baiye, you're here!" Magneto's voice was loud and powerful, revealing an indescribable majesty and confidence. "Our city has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few days. Have you seen it?"

Bai Ye nodded and glanced around. Indeed, much has changed since Magneto began using his powers to transform the city. The originally messy ruins were cleaned up in an orderly manner, and some important buildings and facilities were repaired and reinforced under Magneto's control. There were even some innovative designs that gave the city a new lease of life.

However, there was not much joy in Bai Ye's heart. He knows that these superficial changes cannot hide the deep-seated problems facing the city. Food shortages, water pollution, rampant diseases... these problems are like heavy shackles, binding the city and its residents.

"Yes, I saw it." Bai Ye's voice was calm and deep, "Your efforts have made the city look more orderly and safe, but we must also face reality. This city, and all of us, have Still on the verge of life and death.”

When Magneto heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded. He was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I know that these changes are only temporary, and the real challenges are yet to come. But I believe that as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement. He walked to Magneto, and the two stood side by side in front of the window, looking out at the familiar yet unfamiliar world.

"Magneto, we need to formulate a more long-term plan." There was a hint of worry in Bai Ye's voice, "We can't just be satisfied with the immediate changes, we must find a more stable and sustainable solution for this city and its residents. ’s future.”

Magneto thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "I agree with you. But the question is, what should we do? This city is full of holes and lacks resources. Where can we find hope?"

Bai Ye sighed, knowing that this question was not easy to answer. But he also understands that as one of the city's leaders, he must shoulder this responsibility.

"We can start from two aspects." Bai Ye began to elaborate on his thoughts. "First, we need to strengthen connections and cooperation with other survivor organizations to jointly deal with the challenges of the doomsday. Only by uniting can we gather more strength. and resources.”

"Secondly," Bai Ye continued, "we need to find new ways of survival and development directions. For example, using existing technology and resources to develop new energy and food sources; or exploring other possible living spaces, such as underground cities or offshore platform."

Magneto listened to Bai Ye's words, and a new light gradually flashed in his eyes. He realized that despite the difficulties before them, as long as they did not give up hope, they would eventually be able to find a way out.

"Your ideas are very far-sighted." Magneto nodded approvingly, "I will do my best to support your plan. Let us work together to create a better future for this city and its residents."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had found common beliefs and goals at this moment. They know that the road ahead will be full of unknowns and challenges, but as long as they work together, nothing is impossible.

Bai Ye turned around and walked to the workbench aside, where there were various tools and materials scattered, most of which were collected from the ruins. After careful repair and transformation, they were rejuvenated. He deftly rummaged through a pile of clutter, eventually finding a barely complete drawing and a barely usable pencil. Although the paper is old, there are no excessive stains or damage on it, and it is enough to bear the painstaking efforts he is about to pour into it.

Bai Ye gently spread the drawing on the workbench and took a deep breath, as if he was performing a sacred ritual. He knew that this drawing was not only a city plan, but also the hope and future of all of them. He had to be careful and not allow any mistakes.

The tip of the pen touched the paper, and Bai Ye began his creation. He first outlined the outline of the city, and those familiar yet unfamiliar streets, buildings and landmarks gradually became clear under his pen. But this is just the beginning. He wants not only a restored city, but a more complete city that is more suitable for human survival.

He began to add new elements to the drawings, such as solar panels, rainwater collection systems, vertical farms, etc. These designs are all designed to solve the urgent problems facing the current city - energy shortages, water shortages and insufficient food supply. Bai Ye knows that only by fundamentally solving these problems can the city truly be rejuvenated.

As the pencil dances, the city on the drawing becomes more and more vivid. Green parks and squares are interspersed between high-rise buildings, providing residents with valuable leisure space; the wide roads are lined with solar street lights and charging piles, providing clean energy for the operation of the city; and the vertical farms and underground pipelines hidden between the buildings silently transport fresh food and water to the city.

Bai Ye was extremely focused on painting, as if the whole world was left with only him and this drawing. His thinking transcended the limitations of time and space, closely linking the past, present and future. He imagined that one day in the future, this city would become a self-sufficient and eco-friendly model, attracting more survivors to settle down and build a better home together.

However, planning a city is not an easy task. Bai Ye encountered many difficulties and challenges in the process of drawing. For example, how to balance the relationship between urban development and environmental protection? How to achieve the greatest benefits with limited resources? How to ensure that the implementation of the plan will not cause new social contradictions and conflicts? These problems were like mountains pressing on his heart, forcing him to repeatedly consider and weigh the pros and cons.

But Bai Ye did not back down. He believed that as long as they united as one and worked together, they would be able to overcome these difficulties. He began to mark various possible solutions and alternatives on the drawing, and analyzed and compared them one by one. His mind became clearer and sharper, as if he had seen the future of the city.

Time passed by, but Bai Ye was unaware. There was only this drawing and this city in his mind. He forgot about fatigue, hunger, and everything around him. His whole body and mind were immersed in this great cause, depicting one beautiful vision after another for the city.

Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, Bai Ye's plan was finally completed. He stood up, stretched his waist, and felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. He knew that he had completed a difficult task and also painted a hopeful future for the city and its residents.

He carefully looked at the drawing, and every detail condensed his hard work and wisdom. He imagined that the city would be built step by step according to his plan one day in the future and become a real paradise. There was a light in his eyes, which was the vision and expectation for the future.

However, he also knew clearly that the plan was only the first step. It would take more effort and sweat to make this plan a reality. He needs to communicate and consult with other leaders to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan; he needs to mobilize more residents to participate in the construction of the city to create a better future together; he also needs to face various unknown challenges and difficulties and overcome them bravely.

But Bai Ye is not afraid. He believes that as long as they unite as one and have firm beliefs, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize this great dream. He picked up this precious plan and carefully collected it, preparing to use it to guide the city to a more glorious tomorrow in the future.

The night is deep, but Bai Ye's heart is full of light. He knows that he still has a long way to go, but he is ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future. He believes that as long as they don't give up hope, they will be able to create a better world.

Magneto slowly approached, his eyes that had experienced vicissitudes but were still sharp stared at the drawings in Bai Ye's hand, as if he could see through the back of the paper and see those visions that have not yet been realized. He stretched out his hand, with a bit of caution and respect in his movements, and took the plan carrying hope from Bai Ye's hands.

"Bai Ye, this... this is really an amazing work." Magneto's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to contain a thousand pounds of force. He lowered his head and began to carefully study every detail on the blueprint, from the layout of the city to the design of infrastructure, to the planning of the ecological environment, all of which showed Bai Ye's thoughtfulness and foresight.

"Look here," Magneto pointed to an area on the blueprint, where a vast green space and a water system surrounding it were marked, "You plan to build a large ecological park here, which will not only improve the air quality of the city, but also provide a place for residents to relax and entertain. But have you ever thought about how to use my ability to enhance the defensiveness of this area? For example, let the surrounding metal fences automatically form a protective cover in an emergency."

Bai Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had to admit that Magneto's proposal was indeed a brilliant idea. He immediately picked up a pencil and made corresponding marks on the drawing, adding: "Your suggestion is great. We can apply this concept to the defense system of the entire city. Using your ability, we can create a city defense network that is both beautiful and practical."

The two of them looked at the drawings and communicated with each other, and the tacit understanding and trust between each other grew silently. Magneto's conception of the city defense system opened Bai Ye's eyes. He had never thought that superpowers could be so cleverly integrated into urban planning. And Bai Ye's planning and construction of the ecological environment also made Magneto deeply admire him. He saw Bai Ye's deep understanding and pursuit of the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature.

"Bai Ye, these ideas of yours are really visionary." Magneto put down the drawings, his eyes full of praise, "We are not just rebuilding a city, but creating a brand new future. A future that is no longer troubled by natural disasters and man-made destruction."

Bai Ye nodded, with great excitement and pride in his heart. He knew that he and Magneto were walking hand in hand on a road full of challenges and opportunities. They not only had to face the difficulties and problems in front of them, but also had to lay a solid foundation for the future of this city.

"Magneto, you are right." Bai Ye's voice was firm and powerful, "We are not only planning a city, but also drawing a blueprint for the future of mankind. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to create a better world."

The two smiled at each other, and there was no need to say more about the tacit understanding and trust. They continued to study every detail on the drawings with their heads down, constantly exploring more perfect plans and ideas. In this process, they were not only planning the future of the city, but also establishing a deep friendship and trust with each other.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Without the passage of time and urging, they were able to devote themselves to this great cause. They forgot about fatigue and sleepiness, and all the noise and disturbances around them. In their hearts, there was only this city, this future, and the infinite yearning and pursuit for a better life.
