"The war... has stopped."
"The news is true."
"The Federation admitted to surrendering!"
The residents of Nanjiang City, whether at home or on the streets, put down everything they were doing, captivated by the sudden news report.
Vehicles stopped, drivers and passengers stared blankly at the screens inside their cars.
Women who were cooking at home instinctively forgot to add ingredients, watching the television in the living room with their husbands and children.
The whole city seemed to quiet down at this moment, as if time had paused.
Pedestrians on the road stood still, as phone messages buzzed everywhere.
"We... won, huh."
Someone was the first to react, gently murmuring, their expression seeming somewhat incredulous.
And soon, eyes met, looks exchanged.
Strangers on the street snapped back to reality one after another, some trembling with excitement, others waving and shouting.
