Chapter 279: Chapter 277: 500 Million Worth of Fireworks

On the night of New Year's Eve, every household was immersed in the joyous atmosphere of a family reunion, including those who usually stay indoors or are too busy to even have time for meals.

In the urban area of Dongji City, there was Seaside Park where, after having the New Year's Eve dinner, residents would gather each year to set off fireworks and enjoy the festive lights. This was the only day the city allowed fireworks and firecrackers.

To address the pandemic, Dongji City's Epidemic Prevention Station had set up barricades early in Seaside Park, only allowing citizens who passed a safety check to enter.

Of course, being a native of Dongji City, Zhang Menglong also brought Lu Yiyao to Seaside Park. He didn't use any special privileges. Privileges might be convenient, but they lack a certain human touch. Perhaps squeezing in with fellow townspeople in the crowd was what the New Year's spirit was really about.
