Chapter 468 This is your new home!
"Oh...poor child!"
Seeing these children, the soldiers of Jiebingge couldn't help but feel pity.
These children were all emaciated and dressed in rags.
Moreover, none of them even had a pair of shoes.
Some of the children still had whip marks on their bodies and walked with a limp.
"The city lord is too kind!" The warriors exclaimed in their hearts when they saw the children.
If it weren't for the city lord's rescue or shelter, they would have been in trouble.
Their situation is not much better than that of these children.
As a result, everyone was even more grateful to the city lord!
"Where is this place? It's so beautiful, just like a fairyland from legends!"
"Yes! Are we already dead?"
"Really? Does that mean we can see our parents? I miss them!"
As soon as they entered Dragon City, the children, who were still somewhat shaken, widened their eyes.
Everything here completely overturned their worldview; it was too shocking.
Because there is no water source, they can only live in the place closest to the forest.
The area was filled with black mist; inhaling too much of it could cause dizziness, vomiting, and other symptoms in ordinary people.
They will also constantly face attacks from ferocious beasts.
But here, the air is extremely fresh, and there isn't a trace of disgusting smell.
So, some children wonder if they are already dead?
"Don't be afraid, everyone! This is Dragon City!" Catwoman raised her hand and gestured for everyone to relax.
The bunny-eared girl and the wolf girl also spoke up to comfort her, "This is our home, and from now on... it will be your home too!"
"Home?" Upon hearing this word, Yao Yao in the crowd gave a bitter smile, her heart aching.
Their family members are all dead, and their home has long since disappeared.
"Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big sister!" Yao Yao forced a smile and said gratefully, "We will be very good and can help you with chores. We will only eat one meal and drink one sip of water each day."
While her parents were still alive, she was her father's right-hand man in the community.
“We can work too! My mother says I’m a shrewd little worker!” Another seven or eight-year-old boy raised his little arm and looked at the three animal-eared girls with a serious expression.
"And us... just give us a bite to eat, even if it's only half a bite every day..."
The other children also suddenly found their fighting spirit; they wanted to survive.
Because that older brother said that if you live, you will have a chance to take revenge!
"What good children!" Catwoman patted the heads of several seven- or eight-year-old children, feeling heartbroken.
Just as Xiao Yu said, all of these children were in very poor condition.
They were all pale and emaciated, skin and bones, and some of them were even swaying as they spoke.
He looked like he was having trouble even speaking, so how could he possibly have the energy to work?
Thinking of this, June smiled and explained, "Once you come to Dragon City, you won't have to work anymore, at least... until you grow up! There will be plenty of water to drink and plenty of food to eat."
"No work? And... more water and more food than you can drink?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao and the other children were all stunned and couldn't believe it.
Isn't this place heaven?
"Everyone, come with me. You'll find out when we get to where you live." Seeing the children's suspicious looks, clearly not believing them, the three beast-eared girls didn't rush to explain too much.
After all, when they first witnessed the extraordinary nature of Dragon City, they were also quite skeptical.
Not to mention, these children had just suffered the tragedy of their families being torn apart, and were extremely wary.
With that, the three beast-eared girls led the children directly into the inner city.
The three women had discussed these orphaned children with Xiao Yu when they returned to the city.
Many of these children were only four or five years old, or even five or six years old...
They are too young and have no ability to take care of themselves.
Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yu returned to the city, he built a new building next to the student dormitory.
It was named: Welfare Home.
At the same time, a special team will be assigned to take care of these children.
"Captain, look! It's those kids from Blood Cave City! How did they get here..." At that moment, Agatha and her companion, who were strolling through the commercial street, were filled with disbelief when they saw the children enter the city.
Having been to the dungeons of Blood Cave City, the two recognized it at a glance.
Sangluo stared blankly as the children walked into Dragon City one by one, and asked in surprise, "Dragon City actually got involved in this matter? What is their purpose in bringing so many children here?"
He had doubts.
Is Dragon City like Mechanical City, planning to use these children for some bad purpose?
It's no wonder he thinks that way; after all, he's seen far too much filth.
"Captain, I think you're overthinking it!"
Agatha, seeing her captain's expression, guessed what he was thinking and said disdainfully, "Dragon City is different from Mechanical City! Dragon City is truly powerful; there's no need for them to do such a thing! Look... at the people here, their smiles are genuine! They can't be faked!"
Sangluo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He recalled his experience in the government office city.
There, he also had some companions.
However, no one smiled; they were all numb and indifferent.
They were like machines, devoid of emotion and life.
Then look at the people in Longcheng: the staff throughout the commercial street, the city defense troops, and the police...
The smiles on these people's faces and their sense of belonging to Longcheng are truly genuine!
How could a force capable of cultivating such a powerful army, where everyone has a strong sense of belonging, possibly commit such inhumane acts as the Mechanical City? It would be completely unnecessary for them.
"Perhaps, this is a good thing!"
Seeing all the children enter the inner city, Sangluo suddenly smiled with relief.
This was the first time he had received such a mission: to take these children to the mechanical city.
In fact, he didn't want to see these children eventually turn into monsters like himself.
Then, like him, they became stained with blood and created countless tragedies.
But... he was just a killing machine; he had no right to decide what to do.
But now, Longcheng has already made the decision for him.
"But this means... both of our missions have ended in utter failure." Now that she no longer had to send these children to that hell, Agatha suddenly felt relieved.
Then, they couldn't help but worry about their future.
Both tasks are crucial for the city of the guild.
Upon returning to the Mechanical City, their fate is predictable!
So... what should we do now?
“Agatha, look at that bicycle shop, don’t you see the plum blossom pattern on the bikes somewhere before…” Just as Agatha was lost in thought and looking melancholy, Sangluo suddenly tugged at her and said.
“The pattern that the two sisters, A-Qiu and Dong-Dong, are used to…” Agatha exclaimed in surprise.
