70 The Quick Way Down

Chapter 70 The Quick Way Down Is everybody ready? asked Peanut, standing right next to the opening she'd made in the walkway's barrier. "YES!" replied Little-Bit, Rockwell, Doodle, Woodhouse, Leo, Mum and Dad in unison. Each of them was holding a beautifully illustrated skateboard. "In that case, MOUNT YOUR BOARDS!" shouted Peanut as the wind blew through her topknot. Everybody put their skateboards down and stood on them carefully, holding onto each other for balance. Then Peanut

第70章 快速下滑 大家都准备好了吗？ 花生站在步道围栏她开出的缺口边开口问道。 “好啦！”小不点、罗克韦尔、杜德尔、伍德豪斯、里奥，还有爸爸妈妈齐声回答。 每个人手里都握着一块图案漂亮的滑板。 “既然这样，踩上滑板！”风吹过花生的顶髻，花生大声喊道。 大家放好滑板，小心地站上去，互相扶着保持平衡。 接着花生

held the can of spray paint in front of her, pointed it just ahead of her board, and pushed the button. A wide blast of rainbow- coloured paint came flying out of the nozzle, creating a length of runway in front of them that was angled downwards like a ramp. Confidently, Peanut dropped onto it and began skating. One by one, each member of the group followed, some more confidently than others. As they descended, Nerys floated above them in the colourful bubble now being towed by Dad. She looked thoroughly dejected. This wasn't Peanut's first rodeo. As she sprayed the curved runway circling the Spire, she remembered the first time she'd descended it in this fashion. Today, however, things looked very different. As Chroma rotated below them, the incredible views were made even more breathtaking by the effect that Leo's colour explosion was having on the city. A multicoloured cloud radiated out from the Spire, restoring happiness and life to everything that had been mono-ed by Nerys. The Ink District, The Strip, The Light District, Vincent Fields, Dalf Die Brücke, Modernia, The Grid, Cubeside, Warholia, Point West and The Green Valleys all looked brand new once the cloud had passed over them. Iridescent, colourful, splendid. The North Draw showed the biggest change, since it was the first district that Nerys had targeted and, therefore,

把喷漆罐举在身前，对准滑板前方，按下了按钮。 一大股彩虹色喷漆从喷嘴喷了出来，在众人面前造出了一段向下倾斜的坡道式跑道。 花生自信地滑上跑道，开始往下滑。 小队成员一个接一个跟了上去，有些人比其他人更从容。 下滑途中，内里斯飘在他们上方的彩色泡泡里，这会儿泡泡正被爸爸拉着。 她看起来沮丧极了。 这可不是花生第一次这么干了。 她喷出环绕尖塔的弧形跑道时，想起了第一次用这种方式滑下这里的场景。 不过今天，一切看起来都截然不同。 当克罗玛城在他们下方转动，里奥引爆色彩爆炸给整座城市带来的变化，让绝美的风景更动人心魄。 一朵五彩祥云从尖塔向外扩散，被内里斯变成单色的一切都重新找回了快乐与生机。 墨水区、商业街、光明区、文森特原野、达尔夫桥、现代城、网格区、方块边、沃霍尔区、西点和绿谷，在彩云拂过之后全都焕然一新。 流光溢彩，五彩斑斓，壮丽非凡。 北泽区变化最大，因为它是内里斯第一个盯上的区域，因此

the worst affected. Peanut stared in wonder from her bird's- eye view as the magic moved slowly over the bleak snowfields, leaving lush, green meadows in its wake. As she led the group down towards the ground, Peanut's thoughts were filled with every single adventure that Rockwell, Little-Bit and she had had since they first arrived in Chroma. She smiled to herself. Even though many of these adventures had been quite scary at the time, she knew that she wouldn't change a thing. Well, maybe she'd rethink the whole falling out with Rockwell part, but aside from that. With perfect timing, a loud fluttering sound and a sudden rush of air signalled the arrival of some old friends. The three magnificent kaleidoscoppi that she'd set free from Mr White's cages during their first visit to the city had arrived to accompany the gang on their final descent. "What beautiful creatures," said Mum, awestruck. That was their cue. The three birds began to sing, in perfect harmony, the most bewitching melody that any of them had ever heard in their lives. In that moment, Peanut knew one thing for sure: that she had grown to love this city more than she ever thought possible. And that whatever happened in the future, no matter where life took her, she would always carry a little bit of it with her. Right there. In her heart.

受创也最深。 花生从高空惊奇地看着，魔法缓缓扫过荒芜的雪原，所过之处留下了郁郁葱葱的翠绿草地。 领着队伍滑向地面时，花生的脑海里闪过她和罗克韦尔、小不点来到克罗玛之后经历的每一场冒险。 她不禁笑了。 虽说当初很多冒险都挺吓人的，但她知道，自己一点都不后悔。 嗯，或许和罗克韦尔吵架那事她会改改，不过除此之外就没别的了。 就在这时，一阵响亮的振翅声和突如其来的阵风预示着几位老朋友来了。 就是那三只漂亮的万花筒鸟，她们第一次进城时，花生把它们从怀特先生的笼子里救了出来，它们来陪着小队滑完最后一段下坡路。 “多美的生灵啊，”妈妈惊叹道。 这是它们给大家的信号。 三只鸟儿开始歌唱，和声完美，这是所有人听过最迷人的旋律。 这一刻，花生无比确定：她早已爱上这座城市，爱得比她预想的还要深。 不管未来发生什么，不管人生将她带往何方，她心里永远都会装着这座城市的一小块。 就在这里。 在她的心底。
