"That's true."
The soldier felt that what his teammate said made sense, just like the reason a fool is a fool is that normal people cannot understand his way of thinking.
He thought about it, suppressed the smile on his face, and continued observing.
A few hundred meters away is the temporary headquarters of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.
"Boss, you are really smart!"
The two heads on both sides of the three wolves have lost a few tufts of hair. Now, one is leaning to the left and the other is leaning to the right, ignoring each other.
The head in the middle placed the collected nutrient paste in the center of the temporary camp, and began to report the harvest to Fran while flattering the other party in the way of an exotic beast.
"You did a good job of not getting carried away by the food and approaching rashly."
Fran was sitting on a high platform made of animal bones. Although it was called a platform, it was actually not as high as the larger monsters.
She glanced at the three wolves below and asked the other strange beasts around her:
"How's it going? Is that enough to eat?"
"That's enough."
The Great Elder is quite large in size and has a high demand for food. For humans, the nutritional paste that is enough to sustain the energy needed for a day is no different from filling the gaps between its teeth in its eyes.
However, now all the strange beasts of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult have entered energy-saving mode, and their demand for food is not that great.
Moreover, they had the experience of following a large group before and were used to going hungry for nine meals out of three days, so they were in awe of Fran who could get them food.
Although no one knows why the boss can use magic to make humans deliver endless food, but who cares? As long as there is food to eat, it’s fine.
"Boss, I, I..."
The left protector standing on the other side looked embarrassed at this time.
As the first alien beast to follow Fran, his loyalty is undoubtedly the highest, and Fran trusts him very much.
Seeing its expression, Fran asked with some confusion:
"What's wrong with you?"
"Food stuck in throat..."
The left protector said with some difficulty:
"I'm a little breathless."
Fran felt dizzy.
"So what do you want?"
"...I want to drink some water."
The left protector said without hesitation.
This was indeed a problem for Fran. The wilderness outside the city seemed to have been flattened by something huge. It took almost a whole day to walk before she could barely see a river.
However, there are obviously no such conditions around the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult camp.
Fran fell into deep thought. Less than a minute later, she resolutely jumped down from the platform:
"wait for me."
With the realization that she would never return, Fran walked out of the temporary headquarters of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult and came to a location close to the red line.
She cast an illusion again, and the banner that had just appeared the day before was stretched out again.
On the city wall, the soldiers were trying to understand what the strange beasts in the distance were doing, when they suddenly saw the pitifully small strange beast, only slightly longer than a palm, actually walking out of their shabby camp.
Not only did she come out, but she also moved towards this side.
"alert!"
At the soldier's command, more than a dozen gun barrels on the city wall were aimed at Fran in the distance.
I saw the small strange beast coming near the red line, and then an illusory banner was opened, facing the direction of the city wall.
The soldier in charge of recording narrowed his eyes, feeling that a distance of several hundred meters was still too far for him.
"I can't see clearly, read what's written on it quickly."
The soldier holding the telescope's expression changed several times, and finally he said with doubt about the world and himself:
"I'm thirsty. Give me some water."
The soldier in charge of recording curled his lips, put down his pen and handed a bottle of water to the soldier in charge of observation, but was pushed away by the other party.
The two looked at each other for two seconds. In the silence full of doubt, the soldier holding the telescope said:
"I said, the banner says 'If you are thirsty, give me some water'."
“…Ah, this…”
Some drinking water in special containers was pushed into the thrower.
With a "bang", the mass of stuff flew out in a parabola and finally landed outside the red line.
The palm-sized cat-like creature quickly pounced over, picked up the thing with a strength that was not suitable for its size, and crawled towards the camp.
"I'm back as a jungler!"
Fran returned to the camp carrying a special water bag and was greeted with cheers from her companions or subordinates.
After sending water into the left protector's throat, he quickly recovered. The whole dog looked a lot more energetic and began to run and jump around Fran.
"Boss, I knew you would have a solution!"
The left protector who escaped death looked extremely excited, and his admiration for Fran reached its peak.
These strange beasts were completely illiterate and completely misunderstood Fran's begging process as a miracle.
After all, even if it is essentially just begging for food from humans, only Fran can get it, not to mention that the monsters' brains are totally disproportionate to their bodies, and they are not yet able to think about such complicated things.
On the city wall.
"What are these two wolf cubs howling for?"
"I don't know. Do you think I understand?"
"Yes, then what do you see?"
"I still figured out something. Hmm, I think that kitten is the smartest one. It's the one that communicated with us. Let's record it. From now on, whether it's negotiation or assassination, this one will have the highest priority."
"Okay, I'll write it down. Anything else?"
"I always feel that we need to prepare more food and water rations. These things should be considered hard currency when communicating with those creatures."

A few days passed, and the cold wind brought November to Hope City.
Compared with the situation in the previous life, or another world, Hope City seems to be in a very strange position.
Its summers are hot but not too hot, and not too humid. Although there are cold winds in November, it is not too cold. It seems that the entire planet (if this world is really a planet) is in a very balanced state.
Lin Qingliu didn't have much to deal with these days. His believers now all had their own things to do, and they wouldn't get any feedback in a short period of time.
Instead, it was something else that made Lin Qingliu feel differently.
Fran had already recounted to him all the scenes she had seen while wandering outside Hope City, among which the old life-support capsules neatly stacked in the open space were chilling.
Even Lin Qingliu, who had experience in time travel, began to doubt the reality of the world at this moment.
After all, the last time he saw such a scene was in a famous science fiction movie in his previous life.
"Is this world actually fake? Are we living in a giant server?"
Lin Qingliu, lying in bed, couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he began to analyze the information in his mind.
"Then what am I? A bug in the cyber world?"
