The Holy Envoy said, "We have always believed that there must be other surviving tribes outside the Holy City. However, with the current technology of the Holy City, we do not know their exact location. This problem has troubled us for a long time. We even doubted whether there were other surviving tribes outside the village, until... the appearance of you two siblings!"
Sun Muchen's eyes lit up, and he asked, "We're siblings?"
The envoy nodded and said, "You are not from this village; we found you on the coast. This means that we are not the only humans left on this planet. There are other survivors like you, and we need to find them!"
"The exchange of technologies and communication between people will enable humanity to make progress in this apocalypse, and even turn the tide. To be honest, we accidentally found a blueprint for the mechanical wild boar. The blueprint clearly showed how to manufacture the mechanical boar. We followed the blueprint and created this mechanical wild boar. It is powerful and has strong defense. With the help of hormones, it can be used as a medium to attract wild boar herds, helping us to create a sense of security and identity for the villagers and strengthen their hope for the future."
These words truly surprised Sun Muchen. She hadn't expected that the Holy City would come up with such a bizarre method, and for a moment she really didn't know how to describe the Holy City.
But what puzzled Sun Muchen even more was the blueprint the envoy mentioned.
The mechanical structure is readily apparent.
This implies that the person or group who created the blueprints must possess highly advanced technology.
“This is clearly a blueprint that could enable you to evolve and upgrade, yet you’ve used it to create mechanical wild boars to fight against your own villagers,” Sun Muchen shook his head and sneered, “You really are the best guardians of the villagers of Hope Village!”
"We had no other choice but to resort to this tactic because of Hope Village, Holy City, and all the survivors."
The Holy Envoy said, "The appearance of the mechanical blueprints and your appearance makes us feel that there must be other survivor tribes outside Hope Village. Especially after confirming that you are survivors from other survivor tribes, we are even more convinced of this. We need to find more survivors, gather them together, and form a stable alliance with them in order to better face the current apocalypse."
"but!"
The Holy Envoy said solemnly, "The merging of the two tribes will inevitably cause some conflicts, and we cannot rule out the possibility of mutual plunder due to the scarcity of resources. I need to think about the villagers of Hope Village that we are protecting, and we need Hope Village and Holy City to be of one mind. At the same time, we need strong warriors, strong warriors like you and your brother!"
"So that's why you want to recruit us?" Sun Muchen asked.
The Holy Envoy nodded: "That's right. You two siblings are very powerful and can provide us with strong assistance. Therefore, on behalf of the Holy City, I sincerely invite you to join us."
“But I have a few questions,” Sun Muchen said. “If you can give me a satisfactory answer, perhaps I can persuade my brother.”
"you say."
Sun Muchen thought for a moment and said, "I'm very curious, why do the villagers behave differently after working and learning in the Holy City?"
"This..." Upon hearing this, the Holy Envoy hesitated for a moment before replying, "This is a secret of the Holy City, and we cannot disclose it to you for the time being. Unless you and your sister decide to join the Holy City, we will tell you everything. Otherwise..."
“Forget it then,” Sun Muchen shrugged, interrupting him directly, “I’m not interested anymore. As for joining the Holy City, we’ll talk about that later.”
“Sun Muchen,” the Holy Envoy suddenly said, “In any case, we still hope that you can carefully consider our opinion, as this is for the good of you and your sister.”
"Otherwise what? What will happen?" Sun Muchen laughed. "Are you going to kill me to silence me just because I know the secrets of the Holy City and I don't join?"
"Our secret?"
“That’s right,” Sun Muchen nodded. “Your Holy City is using artificial beasts to attack the villagers while playing the role of saviors. What will happen if the villagers find out? You know, trust is something that can be hard to build, but it can be destroyed with just a word or a deed, nothing more.”
"Heh..." Upon hearing this, the Holy Envoy sneered, "You are indeed a clever person, Sun Muchen. We underestimated you before. Your brother is sharp and decisive, but you are actually quite cunning. This time, our Holy City misjudged you. We originally thought you had a saintly heart, but we didn't expect you to be so scheming..."
“I wouldn’t call it scheming,” Sun Muchen smiled slightly and said, “I just always remember what my brother said.”
"What?"
"We're just people who want to survive..."
"Good!" The Holy Envoy nodded. "Well done, all you want is to survive."
The Holy Envoy laughed, "With our combined abilities, we should be no match for you. Even if we use all the power of the Holy City, you might still reveal our secrets in order to protect yourself. You win, Sun Muchen."
"Hehe," Sun Muchen chuckled, his eyes narrowing, "So, let's just stay peaceful!"
“Alright, let’s coexist peacefully for now,” the Holy Envoy said slowly. “However, I still hope you can consider our proposal and join the Holy City. It will be entirely beneficial to you.”
“I’ll consider it,” Sun Muchen nodded and walked towards the house. “However, we’ll have to wait until my brother gets back before making a decision. For now… goodnight!”
As they were talking, Sun Muchen had already entered the house, and the door creaked shut automatically.
But after the door closed, Sun Muchen did not immediately return to bed. Instead, he stood at the door until, after a while, he heard the soft footsteps fading away and magical energy flowing out from the crack in the door. Confirming that the Holy Envoy and the others had indeed left, Sun Muchen breathed a sigh of relief and returned to bed.
Although Sun Muchen had not been at a disadvantage during the confrontation with the Holy Envoy, she was actually in a state of panic. As she learned about the Holy City's actions and thought about it more deeply, her heart was filled with even more turmoil.
The terrifying palpitations grew stronger.
As she had expected, the Holy City held many secrets, and behind these secrets lay an eeriness.
Perhaps the "evil" of the Holy City is even more serious than that of the final fortress!
However, this "evil" has been well hidden.
Sun Muchen suddenly felt a little confused.
She lay in bed and sighed.
She misses Wang Lan...
