A little boy came out of the sewer and knelt down with tears in his eyes.
But before the little boy could be sad for too long, ferocious beasts gradually surrounded him.
The little boy didn't dare stay on the ground for too long, and quickly hid in the sewer again.
Then the scene changed.
Gu Ran appeared holding his sister. He tore open the space and walked out from the deep pit several hundred meters away, looking at the huge pit created by the explosion with sad eyes.
... ...
Outside the light screen.
"Was that flashing image the scene where the tyrant's parents were killed by the city defense cannon?"
"That's for sure. It turns out that the tyrant's parents died in a wave of ferocious beasts, and they were killed by the city defense cannon. In other words, the tyrant's parents died directly at the hands of other humans."
"I see. Did he develop hatred towards other humans at that moment, planting the seeds of his antisocial personality?"
"If that's the case, although I can understand why he turned evil, I still won't forgive him. You can't blame all of humanity for your own tragic experience, right?"
Everyone was talking about it.
"There was no other way at the time. This was also for the sake of the entire human society. At that time, the city defense cannon could only be deployed in the inner city to play the greatest role. If the city defense cannon was not used to eliminate the large number of ferocious beasts, the ferocious beasts would definitely rush directly into the inner city and cause huge losses, which would be detrimental to human society."
"Yes, it was also limited by insufficient objective conditions at that time. But now it's better. Human technology has made further progress. Even in the slums outside, we can deploy city defense cannons. In addition, humans can detect the tide of ferocious beasts more quickly, so we can evacuate people in time and mobilize forces to resist."
"Compared to that time, the protection of slums is much better now, and the number of casualties has been reduced by almost 90%."
In fact, among the strong men present, there were several young people who were born in slums. Although they usually didn't want to mention their origins, after seeing Gu Ran's memory scenes, they couldn't help but want to make a few objective comments.
Cheng Youmeng, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, "It was actually him who pushed for the installation of the city defense cannon in the slums, and he encountered great resistance at the time."
Several strong young men from the slums suddenly stopped talking like ducks with their necks strangled.
Xue Xiling said calmly: "In fact, he was also the one who developed the device to detect the tide of vicious beasts."
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Although most of them look down on the slums, they also admit that the lives of people in the slums are lives too, so what Gu Ran did is definitely politically correct.
After a while, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"It turns out that the tyrant also implemented some good policies."
"It seems that the death of his parents when he was a child did not bring all negative effects to the tyrant. At least it made the tyrant do some things that benefit mankind."
But then someone asked in confusion: "But why have we never heard of it? Has any of you heard of it?"
Others also shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of it.
Suddenly, Ariel, who had been watching coldly, laughed sarcastically and said, "I can probably guess the reason for this. A notorious tyrant suddenly did some good deeds in your eyes. Even if I tell you clearly, will you believe it?"
"You only believe that he exploited the people, suppressed the people, and massacred the people, but you don't believe that he took some measures to improve the lives of those people in the slums who are of little value in your eyes."
"Just like you humans never believed that fierce beasts could also establish their own country, until our mermaids united with the sea tribes and established our own ocean empire, you had to believe it. This is all due to your usual prejudice and ignorance."
Ariel's words startled everyone, and then they all fell silent.
... ...
In the light screen.
Gradually, ferocious beasts gathered around Gu Ran. Although the cannon attack just now killed a large number of ferocious beasts, it was just a wave in the sea for the tide of ferocious beasts.
However, the purpose of the city defense cannon bombardment is not to destroy a large number of miscellaneous soldiers and beasts, but to eliminate those elite beasts with stronger destructive power.
As for the remaining ferocious beasts that are not so strong, they will be cleared out by the city defense forces stationed on the edge of the inner city. The purpose of the city defense forces is not only to patrol the edge of the inner city and arrest those who want to sneak into the inner city, but also to resist the tide of ferocious beasts and clear them out of the inner city.
So after Gu Ran used the Space Slash to kill some ferocious beasts, he soon saw city defense troops wearing combat uniforms and carrying standard weapons appearing in the slums.
Along with the city defense forces, there were also many strong non-military men. They were bounty hunters attracted by the generous rewards offered by the city defense forces.
Bounty hunters are profit-seeking and will go wherever there is financial gain.
Although clearing out the tide of ferocious beasts is a very dangerous task, the bounty offered by the city defense army is also unusually generous. Not only is there an "appearance fee", but rewards will also be given based on actual results, which is very attractive to many bounty hunters.
Gu Ran didn't want to have contact with these people, so he held his sister and teleported a few hundred meters behind the city defense army.
"Haha, you beasts, just wait for your death, your Grandpa Hu is here!"
A bald man, holding a huge machete, laughed loudly and immediately rushed into the group of ferocious beasts.
The machete must have been specially made, and was extraordinary. With a few chops, the ferocious beast was chopped to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables.
Other bounty hunters and city defense forces also joined in the hunt for the ferocious beasts.
“Help... Help... ”
Suddenly there was a woman's cry.
Not far away, a mother holding a girl ran towards the city defense forces with a terrified look on her face.
Behind her followed a group of ferocious beasts that looked like wolves, lions, bears, etc. There was red light flashing in their eyes, saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths, and they were extremely bloodthirsty.
Judging from the distance, they were already very close to the mother and daughter, only a few body lengths away.
"Haha, just in time!"
The bald strong man raised his big knife, rushed forward without dodging or evading, and then slashed with the knife diagonally.
Because they didn't dodge, the big knife directly split the mother and daughter like paper, and then hit a wolf-like beast.
19. Hide well, sister. I will go clean up some garbage.
The mother and daughter were killed along with the ferocious beast behind them by the bald strong man. The other bounty hunters who were traveling with them took a look and went to the other side to kill the ferocious beast without any change in expression.
The city defense troops didn't even take a look and went to other places.
In such a tide of ferocious beasts, both mother and daughter would die anyway. Compared with such a trivial matter, clearing out the ferocious beasts was the more important matter.
The bald strong man didn't think it was a big deal. He continued to kill the ferocious beast behind him without pausing.
It was as if what died were not two people, but just two weeds on the roadside.
... ...
Outside the light screen.
Everyone who saw this scene was speechless.
They call themselves the coalition of justice, so it is impossible for them to come forward to approve of such behavior.
Nowadays, protecting the people in the slums has become one of the political correctness of the Human Alliance. Anyone who dares to behave like the bald strong man will be brought to court.
And from the perspective of their values, although they look down on the slums in various ways, they are still very disgusted when they see the bald strong man behaving like this.
"Bounty hunters are just a bunch of profit-seeking villains who don't care about the law or the lives of ordinary people, let alone people in the ghetto at that time."
"Perhaps the lives of that mother and daughter are far less important to him than his own bounty."
"Is this the reason why the tyrant banned the Bounty Hunter Association? I have to say that I agree with the tyrant on this matter. There is indeed a reason why the Bounty Hunter Association was banned."
"Fortunately, we now have the Hero Association. Thanks to the Hero Association, we were able to save so many people during the beast waves in recent years."
... ...
In the light screen.
Gu Ran held his sister and stared blankly in the direction of the bald burly man.
He had seen the mother and daughter before, but he thought there were so many people in that direction that he shouldn't have to rescue them himself.
He never expected that the bald strong man not only did not save them, but also killed them as if they were a nuisance.
"I could have saved you." Gu Ran murmured.
The fear and shock of the mother and daughter before their death kept appearing in his mind, and then the scene that appeared in his mind again was the scene of his parents' death.
"Why? Why on earth?"
A look of confusion appeared on Gu Ran's face.
He didn't understand why those people treated them like this. Aren't they all human beings
Shouldn't humans help each other during disasters like the beast tide
Why would they kill each other in front of the ferocious beast
Killing each other's own kind is something that even these ferocious beasts in front of us would not do, so why is it so easy for humans to do it
And among them are the armed forces of the government of this world. Shouldn't the government love its own people? Shouldn't the army protect the people
"Brother, what's wrong?" The younger sister carefully poked her little head out of Gu Ran's arms.
"Qingqing, are you afraid of getting dirty?" Gu Ran asked, touching his sister's head.
“I’m not afraid.”
"Qingqing, are you afraid of ferocious beasts?"
"No! As long as my brother is here, I'm not afraid of anything!" the sister answered firmly.
After hearing the answer, Gu Ran put his sister down.
roar!
