Chapter 109: The Most Important Thing

Mirai Sukarana stands on the high platform of the central square, where in the past the Fog King once stood. Looking at the dense crowd below, and the frightened faces, he couldn't help but feel an urgent sense of responsibility. These more than 30,000 people had to flee into the Devil's Forest just to survive, and regarded this place as the last straw to save their lives. However, Jianing City, which was already short of food and clothing, began to spread rumors, putting everyone in danger and gradually falling into despair. People have no intention of toiling, as if the last straw is about to break.

They managed to escape the deadly war, then starved and now faced the unease of a "terrible alien". These fears threaten their fragile lives, as if they are only alive to suffer everywhere. It is understandable that they would be so frightened, like the poor beasts of the woods, who are always chased by hungry people, and who are terrified all day long. In fact, both humans and beasts instinctively want to live. It's a very simple need, but it's so difficult. Why do people have to kill to survive? Is survival such a cruel thing in itself?

How to help the refugees who are immersed in imagination, or leave them to fend for themselves? In those uncertain days when he was young, he also once doubted the meaning of existence, and lived in a state of confusion all day long, hating everything because of his misfortune. But the Fiji and the Streamers sowed the seeds of hope in his soul and brought a whole new meaning to his life. At this moment, the more than 30,000 refugees below are not just like their former selves, who have been ruled by many disastrous values, whose souls have long been entrenched in the poison ivy of restlessness, and if they are simply given food and shelter, I am afraid that they will never change their fate in the future. Because, these tangible things will disappear one day, and the only thing that can really change their fate is their own thoughts. As the streamer once said, what you can hold in your hand is not the most important thing. Therefore, in the future, I feel that I should take out the most precious things and share them with them, instead of just giving people a moment of food and clothing like a benefactor......

The originally noisy crowd in the square, seeing that the people on the high platform were silent all the time, couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts, and they couldn't help but gradually quieted down, looking at the high platform with anxiety, hoping that the person who provided them with shelter would relieve the fear in their hearts. Although people are accustomed to being afraid, suspicious, and hostile to others, they are always eager for help from others, and they do not realize how contradictory and selfish they are.

Seeing that the crowd finally quieted down, Future asked loudly, "Tell me, what are you afraid of?"

"Of course......, it's an alien," they replied in unison.

"Why are you afraid of them?" asked Future.

Even Mo Di, Yan Shu, and Sang Wu, who were standing behind him, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and the crowd below was naturally no exception. The people replied, "Of course, because the aliens are so cruel and terrible, and they have brought great disasters." They devoured houses with magma, flooded farmland with torrents, and led to millennia of war......"

It is also said: "Aliens are extremely cruel, eat human flesh and drink human blood, and are a bunch of wild beasts with no moral concepts......

It was even said: "The aliens are filthy, not only invade our land, but also spread diseases to us......"

Like-minded people rushed to express their indignation, apparently forgetting that they had also eaten meat and blood. The future knows that no matter what he says now, people will not believe it, so he does not intend to waste his tongue to defend the streamer, because doing so will only deepen people's suspicions. So, he turned to asking, "Who found the alien in the restricted area?"

"It's the two of them. The refugees immediately pushed Kandy and Nahi to the forefront.

Future stood on the edge of the high platform and looked down, and saw the two of them admit that they had found the alien, so Mirai asked loudly: "When you see the aliens, do the aliens also see you?"

"Of course I did! It stood on the rock in front of us, less than ten paces away. The alien was very tall, with a pair of huge wings, a tail behind him, and long eyes with a cold glow. We can see it clearly, I don't believe you asked Nahi. In order to prove that he had indeed seen the alien with his own eyes, Kandy deliberately described it in detail, and Nahi next to him quickly nodded vigorously.

"How did you escape so close?" asked Future in a louder voice.

"We just kept running ......without looking back," Kandy replied, and the timid Nahi just nodded his head and kept nodding.

"Didn't the aliens chase you, didn't they eat you?" asked Future.

"Of course we weren't eaten, otherwise why would we be standing here now?" replied Kandy as a matter of course, wondering about the intelligence of the people on stage.

Future directly ignored those suspicious glances, and then asked, "If the aliens really plan to eat you, do you think you can escape from that distance at that time?"

"Uh...... "Kandy and Nahi, you look at me, I look at you, and then I remembered that the alien did not chase them, but this does not prove that the alien does not eat people, does ......it?" The alien wasn't hungry. ”

Hearing this, the future didn't feel a little funny, but after all, he held back, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he asked loudly again: "How long have you been in Jianing City?"

Some of the people below will follow after waiting for a few people to come to Jianing City in the future, and some will come later, although most of them have fled here recently, but it is not a short time. Knowing that they knew it in their own minds, they asked, "You have lived here for some time, have any of you ever disappeared in the city? If the aliens really eat people, do you think you will survive until now? Have any of you seen the aliens anywhere outside the forbidden zone?"

Many shook their heads, but others were skeptical, "Maybe the aliens are planning to eat the beasts of the forest before it is our turn?"

The future ignores this question, and does not want to explain that the streamers do not need food to sustain their lives at all, because they will certainly not believe it, and it is often difficult for people to understand and accept things outside the scope of life they are familiar with. So, he looked at Kandy and Nahi again, and said to them, "Tell you honestly, what else did you see in the forbidden area besides the aliens?"

Kandy thought for a moment, and then wondered: "Speaking of which, I also think it is very strange, the forest around the city is obviously very dense, but it is difficult to find the whereabouts of wild beasts, and I felt a little abnormal when I first came here. But that day, Nahi and I chased a wild beast and accidentally broke into the forbidden area, only to find that flocks of birds and beasts could be seen almost everywhere we looked. ”

Future nodded with satisfaction, looked at the crowd again, and said loudly: "I don't think I need to say, anyone who has hunted should know that when a beast senses danger approaching, it usually immediately dodges. When my friends and I first arrived in Jianing City, there were birds and beasts everywhere, and your current residence was actually their nest earlier. However, with the recent increase in crowds, hunting has increased, so the restricted area has become their only refuge. We are not the only sentient creatures in this world, nor are we the only sapient beings. If the beasts are able to distinguish between good and evil, and understand where no one will harm them, do you think that you are inferior to the birds and beasts?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other and didn't dare to make a sound, hoping to find the answer from the eyes of others. Because they will only feel at ease if the majority agrees, and if they are the only ones who do not conform to the crowd, they will be restless, afraid that they will be rejected by others.

Seeing this, Future had no choice but to make persistent efforts to reassure: "Actually, when the six of us came here, the aliens were already living in the forests around the city, but they didn't drive us away, nor did they hurt us. The reason why we decided to make the forest area behind the hunting ground off-limits was because we were afraid that this would happen today. You've been here for a while, and you must know if Jianing City can make you feel at peace. If anyone is still scared, they can choose to leave, and I will not stop you. But if anyone wants to stay, I hope that what happened in the past few days will not be repeated. After all, this is a home that everyone has built with great difficulty, with the crops we planted in the fields, the livestock we feed on the edge of the city, and the people who share the hardships and hardships, so don't let everyone live in fear anymore......"

After the rumors of Jianing City subsided, the people gradually quieted down and continued to work hard to cultivate and train. I thought that life would go on like this, but I didn't want to be a few days later, early in the morning, Sang Wu, who had returned to the palace from the training ground, brought news that twenty-nine people had quietly left Jianing City.

Future didn't seem surprised at all, and asked nonchalantly, "Really?"

"Well, most of them are the people who used to make trouble earlier. I had just checked the numbers, and two of the twenty-nine were old nobles of Nabolland. Sang Wu said.

"Could it be that Miss Soya is among them?" said Kama, "no wonder when we met yesterday morning, I was just about to go up to say hello, but she dodged away, planning to leave." It's not too surprising to think about it now. I remember the day we left the square after we had left the square, and I happened to hear a few people sneakily hiding in a corner and whispering. I recognized Soya's voice, she seemed to say something'...... It's hard to compete with aliens without weapons. The fools had little opportunity to read and write, they lacked knowledge, and they did not understand the horrors of aliens, which is why they were so gullible and bewitched...... 'It seems that she thinks that this place is no longer safe. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that those people were just complaining, and I didn't take it to heart, and just left. ”

"They probably still have a hard time adapting to the farming life of commoners and slaves, after all, they were once nobles, and it is not easy to change immediately. Yan Shu was busy with the work in his hands, he didn't look up, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"As Lepelians, we have been given a natural instinct to create civilization, and we have a responsibility to pour our goodwill into this society, and although these kindnesses are a bit self-righteous and sometimes not recognized by others, we will not give up on the dream of creating a new world. Murphy sighed. Some people choose to leave, although everyone seems to be unimpressed, but they still feel a little frustrated in their hearts, right? Mo Di felt in his heart, and this remark was not only to encourage himself, but also to cheer up his partners.

Hearing this, everyone ended the topic tacitly, and they must cheer up, because this is only the beginning, and there is still a long way to go, and they must not be discouraged here. In order to change their mood, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Yan Yu, who was busy with their heads. During this time, as long as he was busy with things in the city, Yan Shu would spend the rest of his energy on these gadgets, tirelessly making all kinds of toys, probably because there were more children recently. In addition, he deliberately opened a special place in the city for children to play, and always spent time with children in his spare time. But that majestic and rugged appearance did not match those delicate and cute gadgets, and his companions were always surprised and puzzled by him.
