On the way to the city lord's mansion, Liu Lang saw mountains of mutated remains, and there was no time to deal with the mutated residents' corpses, even though the military and Miracle Technology's robots were constantly moving them.
On the way, Lin Zhili secretly told Liu Lang the current personnel statistics of the City Lord's Mansion.
The sudden appearance of the divine seal has affected nearly 30% of the population in Tianhua City.
Keep in mind that this is inland, and Tianhua City is not a small city; tens of millions of people move around in it every day.
Therefore, this 30% could represent approximately three million residents who suffered such a terrible fate.
This is why even after the genetically modified humans escaped, it took the military region, the city lord's mansion, and Miracle Technology a long time to kill these mutants and undead, and they didn't even have time to clean up the corpses.
Three million lives lost.
The words written in black and white, though seemingly simple, had a profound and shocking impact on Liu Lang.
This is not like the numbers I used to see on paper, which I could ignore without a second thought.
Because all of this just happened right here.
Many families were destroyed, wives and children were separated, and the breadwinners of the family lost their lives. The once happy and bustling Tianhua City was transformed into a living hell in a short period of time, with constant wailing from house to house.
The sight of those bloodthirsty, unseeing dead, and their families weeping over them deeply affected Liu Lang.
Is this the world of superhumans...?
Liu Lang suddenly thought of the Ordinary Organization and the villagers of Sanye Village whom he had met during his first mission.
Is that why so many ordinary people in this world are willing to take risks, even risking their lives to try and win that 50/50 chance of becoming a superhuman?
However... even those rogue cultivators with supernatural abilities outside who didn't reach three stars or higher couldn't withstand the power of the purple light and mutated.
Why... do those people insist on starting wars and attacking innocent people?
Liu Lang's eyelids drooped slightly, and his expression was downcast. Although Chief Lai explained that this was because the genetically modified people of the Third Alien Realm did not want the Dragon Kingdom's space technology to reach the same level as theirs, they launched a decapitation operation.
But to choose to massacre an entire city just to kill a few people... isn't that absurd?
Even after the convoy arrived at the city lord's mansion, Liu Lang was still in a daze and was led by Senior Sister Yun Yao to Professor Stan's side.
"Liu Lang, cheer up, grab my Rewind Disc, listen to what I have to say, and then try tapping on the space."
Did you hear me?
"good..."
With mixed feelings, Liu Lang listened to Professor Stan's instructions, protected by the Rein Squad sent by the Southern Military Region. He continued to repair it for half a month until it was almost finished.
According to the City Lord's Mansion's observations, the remaining space does not need further repair. Letting it heal naturally is faster than Liu Lang's back-and-forth repairs. Just wait two days, and Tianhua City will be able to break through the dimensional space and return to the present world.
“Melancholy Prince, you’ve been like this every day since you woke up. Now that you’ve finished your task, why don’t you tell me what’s on your mind?”
During this time, Raine also learned that Liu Lang was a member of Bu Xiaosai's F4 team. The two got to know each other during their daily protection, and Raine also noticed that something was wrong with Liu Lang's condition.
However, they had been traveling the whole time and hadn't had much time to stop and have a proper chat.
In Liu Lang's state, it's best to have someone by his side to listen and offer guidance. Otherwise, it might take him a very long time to recover on his own.
"I...I'm just finding it hard to accept. I thought my heart was cold, at least after going through so many battles, but seeing the miserable state of these ordinary people, I still..."
For the past two weeks, Liu Lang has been traveling all over Tianhua City with Professor Stan, repairing the space and basically covering the entire city.
Although the city lord's mansion said that there were more than twice as many survivors as dead, he felt that there were more dead than living people along the way.
When Liu Lang first killed an enemy and saw the bright red, foul-smelling remains, he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. After that, whether facing magical beasts or other enemies, Liu Lang did not find them particularly terrifying.
Now, he has witnessed a metropolis turn into a living hell, countless families shattered, and the enemy is a small force sent by a southern enemy force two continents away.
The transmigration made Liu Lang's sense of belonging to this world not very strong to begin with, and he had not stepped out of his identity as an ordinary person. Perhaps because of the different worldview, the sense of superiority of a superhuman had never appeared in him. This may be the reason why the Ordinary Organization chose him at first glance in Sanye Village.
Seeing Liu Lang's heartbroken expression at witnessing the sacrifice of millions, Raine patted him on the shoulder and sighed as well.
Sometimes, I recall similar experiences and feel a chill run down my spine.
"What's past is past. People always have to look forward. Just like what I said when I confiscated the storybooks from the team members, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and survival of the fittest. Protecting yourself and your loved ones is already difficult. You have such a heart that loves the masses, which makes you better than most people."
"But I don't care about other people's opinions or views. I just felt really bad because I projected their feelings onto me..."
"People need to learn to forgive themselves. Since we don't have the power to change everything, we should learn to protect the present. You know what? When I officially joined the military region, I could choose which unit I wanted to join. I chose Captain Wang's unit because of something he said."
