Doomsday Mecha: I am the Chosen One

Chapter 81: The Desire to Survive Will Destroy Reason

The yellow sand flying in the sky kept hitting their faces, making several people cover their faces and couldn't even open their eyes.

"Ahem," Ye Sirou coughed twice, sighed helplessly, looked at the yellow sand and complained: "Oh, we finally returned to this desert."

Seeing this, Yi Jiahao's eyes became firm and he secretly promised in his heart: One day, I will take you back to that place and live an ordinary life of daily necessities.

After continuing to fly for a while, Akagi appeared in sight.

"Look," Hu Xu said, "it's just ahead."

Following Hu Xu's voice, I saw a city looming in the yellow sand in front of me...

The wall is made of adobe bricks, about seven or eight meters high, and there is a double-door wooden gate in the middle...

"Is that Akagi? There is a feeling that is hard to express in words..." Hu Zihan smacked his lips and said.

There was still some distance from the city, so a few people started walking on foot in order not to be discovered.

"It looks pretty close, why is it still so far away..." Ye Sirou curled her lips and complained.

Several people helped him along the way, and after a while, they finally arrived in front of the city gate.

"As expected of...a city full of civilians...how can a powerful person survive here?" Hu Xu said helplessly as he looked around.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you are surrounded by shabby buildings and yellow sand everywhere. Even the size of the entire city is only one-tenth of that of Pearl City.

The four of them found a hotel to take a short rest, and found that the room rates here were really affordable... one contribution can last for more than half a month.

Walking on the street, there were very few things for sale. After asking around, I found out that most of the things here were shipped from other cities. Food cannot be grown in most local places, and only in a remote water source.

There is some arable land there, but the harvest is pitiful.

"I think the environment here is so bad, so why don't you go to those big cities and are you willing to stay here and suffer?"

After hearing this, the boss said to several people: "You are from other places, right?"

"This is our hometown. Although it is just a desert now, it is not difficult for us people here to make a living by relying on those few oil wells. Despite the city scenery,... we still feel comfortable like this.

"

As they continued to chat in depth, they discovered that the highest level of the security force here was only a warrior. However, during the chat, they learned an important piece of information... the biggest supporter of this place is Bai Gui.

"Their hands are so long," Hu Xu said through gritted teeth.

"I can't help it. Who said there is a crack here? According to the boss, the degree of religious material support is no less than that of the state."

"Hmph," Hu Xu looked at Yi Jiahao angrily and said, "The wool comes from the sheep. If it weren't for having a foothold here and monitoring the crack, would they be willing to waste these resources?"

"There is nothing we can do about this. It is a win-win situation for both parties, but we must be more careful in our actions in the future," Yi Jiahao said softly:

"People here respect Bai Ge very much. We will try not to mention anything related to Bai Ge in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Looking around, there are slogans of the White Rose Order all around. There is even a statue of the same style as the White Rose Church Square in the center. Even though it is much smaller, it does not affect it from becoming a landmark here.

"I didn't expect that the food here is difficult to buy even if it is a contribution... After shopping for so long, I only bought a few pieces of bread..." Hu Xu complained.

"Be content, it's good to have these things to eat here," Yi Jiahao retorted: "Look at the people next to you, they are obviously homeless refugees who have fled here."

Following Yi Jiahao's gaze, more than a dozen people in tattered clothes were lying together, including men and women, old and young. According to others, their only source of survival every day was a few slices of bread from the government.

and some water to survive.

"If they want to completely escape this fate, there is only one way."

"Oh? What can I do?" Hu Xu looked at Yi Jiahao curiously and asked.

"Look at the white rose sign over there..."

The three of them looked where Yi Jiahao pointed and saw a sign that read:

[If you want to change your destiny, join Baigui’s action of exploring the cracks and let your life be completely transformed at once]

After seeing this slogan, several people's faces darkened and they said angrily: "Aren't we using them as cannon fodder?" Hu Xu said, punching the wall.

"So what? It's just that one person is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. But this is indeed their way out."

While several people were chatting, there was some strange movement in the crowd...

A girl's limbs were weak from hunger, and she was lying on the ground, breathing hard.

At this time, a shop owner nearby came over. Seeing the girl like this, he felt pity and gave the girl a small piece of bread.

"Eat it, kid," the shopkeeper put the bread to the girl's mouth.

"Thank you... thank you," the girl said feebly. She used all her strength to sit up with difficulty, took the hard-won food, and started eating in small bites.

When the shop owner saw this, he left with satisfaction.

Just when Ye Sirou was sighing that there are still good people in the world, the girl's screams came.

It turned out that as soon as the boss left, the others pounced on the bread in the girl's hand like wolves, and the girl was pushed and fell to the side.

Due to long-term hunger and being suddenly knocked to the ground, the girl even fainted.

"Hey, you guys..." When Hu Zihan was about to complain, Ye Sirou had already run to the girl's side and helped her up.

Ye Sirou rolled her eyes at the wolf-like crowd behind her, hesitated to speak, but just glanced at them, shook her head helplessly and left.

"Let's take her back first, otherwise her life will really be in danger."

So, Hu Zihan and Ye Sirou helped the girl walk to where she lived.

Ye Sirou, who has experienced a lot, is no longer surprised by these things. On the contrary, she can also understand that in such a situation where she is about to starve to death, the desire to survive will definitely devour her reason.

Yi Jiahao and the two who followed behind didn't say much, they just placed a piece of bread in front of everyone and said:

"We took that girl away, can I give this to you?"

Seeing that there was something to eat, everyone quickly crawled over and looked up at the two of them and said, "You can take it away. Her relatives are all separated anyway, so we won't mind."

Looking at the withered and yellow faces in front of me, there is no trace of life in them at all, they all look skinny and skinny, which is shocking.
