A wounded man said with a bitter smile, "Resistance? There was such a thing. But no one ever succeeded. All those who resisted became ghosts in the morgue."
He seemed to perk up a bit as he spoke, his eyes filled with urgency, "Little girl, could you... could you go check inside the morgue? They... they..."
The man couldn't continue speaking, and Tang Yue understood what he meant. She nodded, "I've already been there. They're all dead. I've collected their ashes, and when we get back to China, I'll find a good place for them to rest in peace."
The crowd exchanged disbeliefs, some of them finding it hard to believe the young girl's story. How could that be? They had heard from the Miyazaki family that no one could stand the smell in the morgue. Who could possibly get in?
Moreover, with so many corpses inside, they could only weep silently. They couldn't even remember how many of their comrades had gone there. The man who had just spoken clearly didn't believe it either.
"This is Miyazaki family territory; they control everything here. Little girl, we don't know how you got here, but you'd better leave now."
If you are truly Chinese...
"Sigh, never mind, you're still young, you should leave now. We've already resigned ourselves to our fate, we can't drag a little kid like you down with us. We're like their slaves, completely at their mercy. You're different, you should leave now."
His eyes were filled with despair, and his body trembled slightly from the pain. Yet, even at this moment, he remained kind and still thought of Tang Yue.
Tang Yue could tell that these people didn't believe her, but she didn't want to explain further. They had already experienced too much disappointment, and now, perhaps only by truly standing on the soil of China would they truly believe that they were saved.
A surge of intense anger welled up within Tang Yue, but she couldn't vent it; she could only suppress it silently. Looking at these suffering Chinese people, she said with unwavering determination:
"Don't worry, everyone. Now that I'm here, I won't let you suffer anymore. I will definitely take you away from here and back to the embrace of our motherland." Her voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the room like a resounding bell, bringing everyone endless courage and hope.
At first, everyone was skeptical of Tang Yue's words. They had been in this dark and gloomy place for too long, suffering too much hardship, and had long since become estranged from hope.
In their hearts, this foreign land was like an inescapable cage, and the desire to go home was like an unattainable star, only appearing in their dreams.
