Along the way, Su Mingan became more and more aware of the pain and poverty of this world.
Many refugees were lying on the street, lying on straw mats like the smokers in ancient times. Several corpses were sleeping under the bridge, having been frozen to death for several days, with their hair floating in the river like water grass.
Whenever they see stray dogs or cats, the extremely hungry people will rush over and hack at them with machetes, daggers, and hoes just to get a little meat.
Whenever they see someone fall down, people will gather around the body like vultures pecking at carrion, frantically trying to grab any items on the body.
The hell of humanity, the hell of hunger, the breeding ground of greed and ugliness, where children are eaten, fathers and brothers kill each other, and people sell their bodies. The strong bully the weak, and the weak wield knives at the weaker ones.
——What Su Mingan saw was this hellish scene.
He had heard of some historical sieges before, but had never witnessed such shocking cruelty with his own eyes.
Arriving at the next distribution point, people suffering from hunger and cold immediately gathered around.
"Thank you!"
“Thank you for the grace of the church!”
In front of the clergy, people waited like good children for Li Mingyue to distribute food in turn.
Seeing little girls aged three or four lining up to receive bread, Su Mingan tentatively asked Li Mingyue: "Godfather, you are very powerful, why don't you lead people out of this city? Or directly destroy that alien species?"
"Humanity has lost nearly 80% of its land, and it is the same pain wherever it goes. Without knowledge, skills, or assets, we are refugees wherever we go." Li Mingyue said calmly: "It may seem that this city is a prison, but for the poor, the whole world is a prison... follow me."
Su Mingan looked up and saw a shabby tavern in front of him. Being able to open a tavern in such a chaotic place showed that the tavern owner had good strength.
Li Mingyue drew aside the curtain and what came into view were old iron-red tables and chairs. Behind the bar sat a burly, bald middle-aged man, the owner of the pub.
"Dad, a guest is coming." Hearing the sound of glass curtains colliding, a young girl came out of the back room. She had black hair draped behind her, a bright red butterfly hairpin on her head, and a beautiful face, wearing a JK short skirt. The fact that she could wear a short skirt in such a chaotic area showed that she was well protected.
The bald middle-aged man looked up: "Li Mingyue? You actually came to a place like mine."
Li Mingyue asked, "Let me ask you, did Yu Xuan come to the city to select people before?"
Su Mingan glanced sideways. He had never heard of the name "Yu Xuan".
The bald man nodded and said, "Yes. You know, joining the [Urban Protection Department] is too dangerous. It's better to join the military to make a living."
Li Mingyue looked at Su Mingan and said, "The [Urban Protection Department] is recruiting people. If you are interested, you can go for an internship."
Before Su Mingan could say anything, the bald man interrupted in surprise, "Li Mingyue, you are the godfather of this child, right? He just came of age, and you want to push him to the [Urban Guardian Department]? Do you know how dangerous it is?"
Upon hearing this, Su Mingan checked the information on his watch: The [Urban Protection Department], one of the four major forces, has branches in every city and is the most righteous organization among the four major forces.
The [Holy Alliance] is affiliated with the church and doesn't care about the lives of the people. They burn people to death at any time. The [Human Self-Saving Alliance] is determined to go against the gods and do whatever it takes. The [Old Church] is a pure anti-social element, slaughtering ordinary people. Only the [Urban Protection Department] is an orderly organization that is closely connected with the military and has a strong sense of social responsibility.
[Urban Protection Department] takes the initiative to go deep into dangerous areas, test the rules of instant death, eliminate potential "abnormalities", and protect the injured people.
The military fought against the black fog and the enemy bravely on the front line. The [Urban Protection Department] protected the city in the rear. With the two helping each other, human civilization did not fall.
"Teacher Xia came to my place to drink this morning. He looked so happy. You must be a talented kid. You will take the college entrance examination in two days. If you are admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, you will have a wide choice of jobs after graduation." The bald man was puzzled. "Nowadays, people want to live a stable life and would like to stay in the city for the rest of their lives. But you want to push people to dangerous places?"
[Urban Guardian] It is more dangerous than going to the front line. It is a small team of three or four people, walking through the streets and alleys under the cover of night. If they encounter danger, they will not have time to return to the main team. The mortality rate is as high as 60%.
Li Mingyue's expression remained unchanged:
"If I really wanted to live a comfortable life, I wouldn't stay in this city for long."
The bald man remained silent.
Li Mingyue was very powerful and didn't need to stay in such an abandoned city. The bald boss could only guess that Li Mingyue wanted to protect the residents in these cities.
“So…” The bald man took a puff of his cigarette, his mustache twitching, “I have never understood the courage of idealists like you.”
Su Mingan heard the system prompt:
…
“Ding Dong!”
[Get in touch with the "Urban Guardian Department" plot in advance. 】
[Participating in the "Internship of the City Guardian Department" is the fourth link of your main quest, and you can now access it in advance. 】
…
The two walked out of the tavern, and Su Mingan brushed off the smell of alcohol on his body. It seems that contacting the City Guardian Department is also part of the main storyline, but it was brought forward by Li Mingyue.
——He is the deputy director of the Urban Guardian Department, and he has to participate in an internship at the Urban Guardian Department.
——He is the number one dream patroller and also a high school student.
There is always a feeling of "I" not "I", a fusion of the ordinary and the weird. He is both a being standing at the top of humanity and an ordinary student who is about to start his internship. It seems that the two identities overlap harmoniously.
