Although Mingmei had questions in her mind, she thought about it seriously while kneading the rice ball and replied, "Why should I coax you? You're asking this question to an adult who's not related to you and is busy with important matters. Why don't you think about why I should give up what I'm doing to coax you? Am I your father or your mother?"

Erbao: "..."

"Also, why did your dad want to save the world? Hmm... do any of you want to know the answer to that too?"

When Erbao asked this question, the other children also secretly looked over; they were also full of questions.

"Going to the outer city will lead to death," these were the words the adults had been repeatedly telling them these past few days, and they were the words that stuck with them the most.

The adults who usually prevented them from leaving the city were now abandoning them and going to the outer city on their own. They didn't understand!

Even if everyone around them says that their father/mother is an amazing person, they will still be afraid, anxious, and worried that their parents will never come back. Why can't they stay and go to save the world?

"Don't they...love us enough?" The little girl in Lu Gui's group asked, her eyes welling up with tears. "They're going to save the world, so aren't they sharing their love for us with others?"

"Stop, that's a dangerous thought, little girl~" Mingmei raised her eyes, her clear and gentle eyes meeting the little girl's questioning gaze, and said only, "Because you were born into this world."

"They saved this world because you exist here."

After finishing the latest boxed lunch, Mingmei wiped her hands with a towel, then walked over to the children and petted each of them, looking bewildered, as if stroking a dog. She said:

"Because without this world, you will all cease to exist. If... you have the chance, you can ask them yourselves if this is the reason."

The reason they were willing to sacrifice their lives to save the world may not be because of their universal love, but simply because of you, who live in this world.

I can't guarantee that others will have a bright mindset. After all, there are always plenty of people with a clear conscience and noble character, and most players who have received ideological education in school should also have this awareness.

Of course, many people don't have it either _(：3」∠)_

As for the few people Mingmei knows so far, the reason they would risk their lives to protect this base is probably more because of these children.

Mingmei smiled, then glanced at the crystal cores that had been absorbed and turned into dust beside the lunchbox. The high-intensity cycle of replenishing energy, converting it into the lunchbox, and continuing to replenish energy was causing her head to start to throb with pain...
