When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...
“There are many. People from the surrounding northern city, the city walls, and various towns and villages. When these people came to the southern city in large numbers, they were placed in refugee camps!” Zhu Penghai explained.
Such things are rarely known to those who stay at home; only adventurers who roam the land killing monsters would understand the secrets behind them.
"Why put people in refugee camps? Isn't Nancheng a big city?" Jiang Yuan said angrily. There are at least half, if not a third, of empty houses in Nancheng. In this world, people can squeeze together. Why put people in refugee camps outside Nancheng?
“The warlords of the South City are afraid!” Zhu Penghai sneered and continued, “Take the largest city nearby, the North City, for example. Before the cataclysm, it had immense power. But after the cataclysm, the entire city’s population flooded into the South City. Do you know how much of an impact that will have on the South City warlords’ rule?”
"However, the Southern City warlords are clearly frightened. The Northern City had most of its troops secretly withdrawn on the first day of the catastrophe. How could they possibly compete with the Crimson Blood Army for control of the Southern City!"
"And it's not just the North City. Almost all of these people stationed in the refugee camps are organized within the city, either from families or organizations with their own military power. The South City, out of fear, went all out and placed them in District D, thinking that these migrants from various cities would have to fend for themselves!"
"At the same time, it can also make them restrain each other and deplete their manpower!"
“North City!” Jiang Yuan studied in North City. He subconsciously glanced at Ning Yanlan, and his intuition told him that the troops in North City had been transferred to District C.
"Yes, just as you thought!" Ning Yanlan transmitted her voice using her soul ring. "The largest legion in North City has been transferred to the front line, and our department will have the highest command authority in North City during the evacuation!"
"Damn it, how dare that warlord of Nancheng wipe out your department?" Jiang Yuan was utterly shocked. What kind of thing was this?! Infighting!
"It's precisely because we have command authority that the Crimson Blood Army wants to wipe out our department! And because our department has always been in hiding, even if we are wiped out, no one will stand up for us. The North City leadership is happy to see our department destroyed, so that power can be distributed and they can regain control of their original forces, instead of having us in command!" Ning Yanlan explained.
"Are there really so many tricks involved?" Jiang Yuan felt that all these organizations were scheming against each other.
"The calmer the lake surface, the deeper the water."
The car suddenly jolted, sending the people inside flying. Zhu Penghai said gravely, "Damn it, I knew these people were up to no good!"
"Hold on tight, we're about to speed up!"
Qian Kai grabbed the top handle and shouted excitedly, "Let these bastards smell the exhaust fumes!"
Zhu Penghai stepped on the gas, and the speed soared to its maximum, while someone on a motorcycle followed closely outside the armored vehicle.
Bang, bang, bang! In an instant, all sorts of sounds rang out from the car.
“It’s always the same few tricks!” Qian Kai turned to look at the men. “Unfortunately, our armored vehicles are the best in the camp. Your crappy guns and cannons can’t do anything to us!”
"Captain, there are two children ahead!" Xiang Yeyun exclaimed in surprise as he looked ahead. Two children were standing in the middle of the two lanes, blocking the road.
"We can't stop. These children are the bandits' men. If we stop, we'll be playing right into their hands!" Zhu Penghai's ruthlessness at this moment was chilling.
"Should we crash into it?" Xiang Yeyun asked reluctantly.
"They can only blame their bad luck!" Zhu Penghai showed no intention of slowing down; at this speed, a collision would result in nothing but a mangled mess.
The men in the car remained silent. They knew this was cruel, but it had to be done. Xiao Xin, blocked by her seat, also couldn't see what was happening in front of the car.
The car sped along, and everyone assumed the two children in front of them were dead. Ning Yanlan gripped Jiang Yuan's hand tightly, and at the last moment, she used her spiritual shield to block the child who was hit.
Thump! Everyone in the car could feel the impact. It was a battle between flesh and machine, a cruel reality.
Upon impact, the boy was thrown more than 20 meters. Zhu Penghai swerved the steering wheel around the boy lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, and continued driving forward.
As they passed the boy, everyone fell silent. They knew they had taken a life with their own hands, but it was necessary. If they stopped, the people in the refugee camp would certainly not let them off the hook.
This is a choice that challenges human conscience and bottom line.
"Light of Nature!" Ning Yanlan finally unleashed a green light.
Watching this scene, Jiang Yuan gained a better understanding of Ning Yanlan's personality. The shield had saved the child's life, but he was certain that the child would be disabled for the rest of his life.
The car didn't stop, driving all the way past Refugee Camp No. 7, and finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.
