It is important to face a serious crisis so that they can feel fear firsthand. The deeper the fear, the more the feeling of salvation will break through the defenses in their hearts when God comes.

"How do you have a really terrible crisis without actually hurting them?"

"Ah... I have an idea!" Suddenly He Fang seemed to have discovered something, and he clapped his legs, jumped excitedly, and ran away quickly.

Min Zhizhou looked at the boy's back and suddenly felt a chill down his spine for some reason.

Although the city lord looks harmless, he is actually quite cunning.

Wei Qixuan held a small cube tightly in his hand and looked at it carefully. The cube was very bright and emitted a beautiful white cold light under the moonlight.

At this time, his younger brothers and sisters were sleeping beside him, one on his left and one on his right. The three children were too thin and could only get a little warmth by leaning against each other.

It was already night, the upper floors of Hope City were very high and the wind was a bit strong. They could only huddle together to feel warmer, but even so they were unwilling to go to the lower floors where there was little wind. That was a place they never wanted to go back to. No one knew which would come first, tomorrow or death, and they did not want to die in such a place in the end.

Wei Qixuan looked at the strange cube in his hand. He didn't know what it was, but it was something that came from the hands of that big brother who looked like he had a rosy complexion and never had to worry about food and clothing, and who seemed to find peace just by looking at him.

The elder brother left, taking away their last hope.

No other cities will come to the City of Hope, and even if they do, they will not take anyone away.

Having lost their leader, their resources, and everything they once relied on to survive, they are now struggling to survive.

Everyone knew that they would die, and everyone accepted the ending of death, but Wei Qixuan didn't want this to happen. He was still very young, he had never seen anything, he had only heard the mercenaries tell all kinds of adventure stories, his younger brother and sister had not yet felt the joy of being an adult, he really didn't want to die with everyone like this.

He wanted to leave, but he couldn't. His parents had already died of hunger, and they even let him eat their bodies before they died.

Wei Qixuan didn't eat it. He always felt that once he ate the corpse, he would no longer be a human being.

They buried their parents with their own hands, but even so young, the younger sister did not know what death was, and would always suddenly cry for her mother at certain times.

But his younger brothers and sisters were all very well-behaved. They seemed to have understood the hardships of life very early on. They never cried or made a fuss, and even the slightest dissatisfaction would disappear immediately, as if they were born without childishness.

He originally thought that the mercenary would be his hope, and perhaps his last hope.

But the mercenaries left anyway. They left the city. The gatekeeper said that he watched them leave completely out of their sight.

Wei Qixuan was very sad. He wanted to try his best to catch up with the mercenaries and use his last bit of strength to beg them to take him away, but he couldn't because his younger brother and sister were still behind him, looking at him.

The moment he saw the mercenary's leaving back, he truly fell into endless despair.

"Brother, what is this?" Suddenly a childish voice reached Wei Qixuan's ears. He turned his head and saw his younger brother who had just woken up. He noticed the strange block in his hand and reached out to touch the block.

However, Wei Qixuan suddenly grabbed the cube and said, "This is not a toy. I can't give it to you."

He didn't know what it was, nor how to use it, but he knew clearly that this might be the last chance the mercenary gave him.

This block may be the final turning point in their lives.

"Brother, I'm hungry." As if because she heard the sound, the sister also sat up and spoke to him in a baby voice.

"Brother, I'm hungry too." said the younger brother.

"Let's go, let's dig some grass and eat something." Exercise can also warm up the body. He can feel that his younger brother and sister's body temperature is low.

Wei Qixuan brought his younger brothers and sisters to the grass. With rich experience, they knew clearly which grass was delicious and which was not, which kind of grass tasted sweet and which was particularly bitter. It might be a little difficult to find delicious grass under the moonlight, but there would always be gains.

Because there is lots of grass here.

It was more than they had ever seen before.

"Be careful not to dig up the vegetables grown in the fields. They can only be eaten after they are grown." Wei Qixuan said to his younger brothers and sisters.

"Okay." The younger brother and sister answered in unison.

Perhaps because all the delicious wild grasses around had been dug up, it was not easy to find, so they went to a place farther away.

Wei Qixuan stood up and seemed to hear something vaguely in the darkness. He looked up in a certain direction and it seemed that something was moving there.

Then suddenly a miserable cry broke the silence of the night sky. Wei Qixuan's eyes widened and he saw the gatekeeper running towards him.

"Go back, go back, go back quickly!" The gatekeeper screamed as he ran, "Everyone go back to the City of Hope. The Nightmare Beast is coming! The Nightmare Beast is coming! Nightmare Beast!"

Wei Qixuan's eyes gradually widened, and there was a buzzing sound in his head.

The Nightmare is coming.

The adults once said that once the Nightmare Beast came, everyone would return to Hope City and light the firewood piled in Hope City to let the huge Hope City burn.

They will all die together in the City of Hope, but they do not want their bodies to be controlled by the Nightmare Seed and turn into Nightmare Beasts, bringing danger to people in other cities, perhaps their relatives in those cities.

Is it time?

Is it time to die?

The cube in his hand was deeply engraved in his palm, leaving a blood mark on his palm, but he did not feel any pain at all.

The younger brother and sister looked at the gatekeeper who was running towards them with a look of fear on his face in confusion, and looked at Wei Qixuan in confusion.

But Wei Qixuan's whole body stiffened at this moment.

The gatekeeper and the other two exploration teams in the distance were running frantically, their faces were distorted, fearful, and resistant. Even if they accepted the reality that was about to come, when they really faced it, they would still run away uncontrollably.

Under the bright moonlight, on this endless grassland that was coated with beauty by the moonlight, Wei Qixuan raised his head and met a pair of eyes.

Those eyes were dead, cold, emotionless, and dark like the entrance to hell that swallowed up all the light.
