The group stopped here.
Wang Lan looked down and, sure enough, from here, the entire village was clearly visible.
"The city across from us is the Holy City I mentioned to you before."
Chen Bihua pointed to the opposite side and said, "The Holy City is right across from us, occupying the highest position in Hope City. On the one hand, it represents high status and power, and on the other hand, it can better protect us."
Wang Lan gazed into the distance.
The Holy City was actually a tall tower built on a mountaintop, covering a considerable area. The tower had three floors, and its exterior resembled the outer walls of the final fortress, covered with black marble. Overall, it appeared to be far smaller than the final fortress.
At the very top of the tower, there was an observation platform. On the platform stood a guard in a white hooded coat, his features obscured, holding a black machine gun.
“Without Holy City, there would be no Hope Village,” Chen Bihua said. “Although Hope Village is self-sufficient with men farming and women weaving, resources are gradually becoming scarce as the population grows. Holy City will send us fresh water and meat from time to time so that we can live a better life.”
"Then how will they protect you?" Wang Lan asked. "Didn't you say that the Holy City would be responsible for protecting you? Don't they usually conduct patrols or something?"
“They have vehicles,” Chen Bihua said. “Every day, people from the Holy City patrol and stand guard on the observation platform. Once a problem is discovered, they will react immediately, drive to the scene, and quickly resolve the issue. For example, a few days ago when wild animals attacked, it was thanks to the Holy City’s timely intervention that our Hope Village did not suffer too many casualties.”
“Oh,” Wang Lan nodded, then asked, “Where do the Holy City’s food and water come from? Do they go out often?”
“I don’t know,” Chen Bihua said with a smile. “The Holy City has always held a lofty place in our hearts. We… don’t know much about the Holy City. We just need to respect and admire them.”
"What devout believers!" Wang Lan said with a smile, then continued, "Let's go, let's go to the outskirts of the holy city and see how magnificent your holy city, which is revered by all, is."
"This..." Chen Bihua hesitated for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's take another route, because a few days ago we spotted wild animals ahead, and I'm afraid..."
Before Chen Bihua could finish speaking...
They then heard a wild beast roar suddenly sound from ahead.
Everyone present, except for the brother and sister, trembled instantly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Wang Lan was taken aback. "What a coincidence? Wild animals just appeared?"
A blue light then flowed from Sun Muchen's body and swept forward.
After a moment, Sun Muchen said, "It's okay, brother, it's just a little rascal!"
