For some reason, the moonlight tonight was very faint, and the sky was surprisingly dark, and I could even describe it by not seeing my fingers when I walked through the alleyway.

But despite this, Vivian was still able to see every detail in the darkness.

"It's weird.."

About two hours later, at 2:30 a.m.

Having seen almost the entire town where people could hide, Vivian sat on the roof of a tall building, his chin propped up, and fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?"

Schuckman asked, "Did you find nothing?" ”

"I really didn't find anything."

Vivian nodded, but the expression on his face became more and more confused.

Impossible.

It doesn't make sense.

I've looked at all the places where there are a lot of people, and apart from the soldiers of a few units, there are no so-called civilian families at all.

Where are they hiding?

You can't hide outside the town, right?

The island where the Kingdom of Lemon is located is surrounded by forests in three places, and the left side is close to the sea.

He had already seen the three forests when he flew into the sky with the moon step just now, not to mention the mountains, and even the soil slopes were very few, where was there a place to hide people?

"You can't bury everyone, right?" He subconsciously muttered.

As soon as he finished dripping, the whole person suddenly froze.

Wait a minute..

Could it be?

His face changed slightly, and Schukman, who noticed his strangeness, also asked, "Did you think of something?" ”

"You say. . . Will.. The family members who were taken hostage are already dead? ”

Vivian suddenly said this, and in the next second, Schukman's Tong Kong suddenly tightened.

"What do you mean?"

"If you think about it, now that the Sixty-Four Nation Combined Forces want to fight against my naval forces, they are already too busy to take care of themselves, otherwise they would not have made such a panicked move as forced conscription, and because of this... How can they have the leisure to take care of tens of thousands of civilian families? ”

How difficult would it be for such a large group of civilians to be controlled?

Just providing food and drink is enough of a headache, not to mention having to send a large number of people to supervise it, which is obviously not worth the cost.

Combined with the fact that Vivian has been searching for so long without success, then the result is obvious...

The hostages may have been "disposed of".

And Schurkman, who also guessed what Vivian wanted to say, even his breathing became shorter when he heard the words.

He couldn't believe it, but at the same time, he began to worry about it.

In addition to the men who were forced to join the army, 350,000 people... How do they "deal with" such a large group of people?

The expression on his face turned to horror at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was clear that he had something terrible in mind.

"But I think it's impossible to say that there are more than 300,000 people, and it's also impossible to slaughter them all and bury them."

Vivian lit a cigar and put it in his mouth, and then said: "Because our army infiltrated and emptied the treasury of various countries in large numbers some time ago, I think they should be very short of funds during this time, so... It is quite possible that the women and children of the commoners will be sold in packs, or some will be selected for auction to the nobles. ”

Not to mention the non-member countries, even those member countries under their new government, before the reform, the children of the gentlemen who were deeply rooted in the country also emerged in an endless stream.

Every year, even every month, they spend a lot of money to buy slaves in order to enjoy their lives.

What?

Why is there a connection between buying slaves and enjoying life, you ask?

Of course, it can be connected.

Officially, because of the existence of "slaves", they can have the vanity and superiority of being born as a nobleman.

"You wait for me."

Spuffling out the smoke rings, Vivian took to the night sky again with moonlight steps, and began to search along the three woods around the town.

About half an hour later.

A dense jungle located directly behind the town.

Vivian stood on top of a piece of soil, his face calm, but mixed with a little murderous aura, so that Schuckman standing behind him was a little out of breath for a moment.

"Is it here?" Schukman swallowed and asked with a faint uneasiness.

"Hmm."

Vivian nodded.

Then, under the gaze of Schukman, he used his hand as a knife to cut down all the trees and flowers around him in an instant.

Slowly stepped forward and lifted the dirt from the ground.

The moment Huchkman saw the bones emerging from the soil, his feet went limp, and he fell to his knees.

"This group. . . Damn brute.." He clenched his teeth, and even his voice trembled.

The dense human bones were piled up in the deep pit, and it was horrific to look at the white swaying in the past.

And the moment Wei Wei'an saw this scene, his chest was dull, and he only felt that there were countless unjust souls watching him in the pit, and the strong resentment made him a little unable to breathe for a while.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the two of them came to their senses a little.

Schukman slammed his fist to the ground, his anger could no longer be suppressed, but at the moment when he was about to explode, he was stopped by Vivian.

"Don't be impulsive, old man, go now, you won't be able to catch that big fish."

"But..."

Schukman's nose turned red, and the unwillingness in his heart was overflowing.

However, Vivian was still only persuading him, "If you want to avenge these civilians, you have to do it thoroughly, don't you?" Are you willing to just kill those soldiers and let the culprits continue to go unpunished? ”

He bowed his head in silence.

Silent tears wet her wrinkled face.

He knew that what Vivian said was right, but he just couldn't control his emotions, so what could he do?

After all, it's all a living human life!

"Judging from the bones, most of them should be the bones of old people over sixty or seventy years old, and there are a few young ones, almost all of whom are disabled and have inconvenient hands and feet."

Vivian crouched down and looked inside the pit.

"This also means that there are about 900,000 to 100,000 bones here, and the remaining 200,000 or so should have been transported by them to other places."

"And now are we?" Schukman asked, wiping his face.

"Wait."

"Wait?"

"Well, we'll see."

Vivian nodded, "Wait for another two days, if the guy behind the scenes hasn't shown up yet, it means that he has probably received some rumors and will not come to this lemon kingdom, and we will do it again at that time." ”

Now that they knew that there were no hostages on the island, they had nothing to worry about.
