I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 973 White lies
Li Luo added various settings without blushing or beating her heart. The group of survivors gathered around her, staring with eyes wide open and nodding continuously.

She is a model student in Dawn City who has taken a "World View Class", so she can make up a story with ease.

Although these young people are smart, they have not received normal education and their understanding of the world is confused. They don’t know where they come from or where they are.

Faced with Li Luo's stories, they were like humans who had just come into contact with the abyss. Their cognition was greatly shocked. Then they began to follow Li Luo's guidance and began to establish a solid logic that did not exist.

Soon, they stopped considering whether it was true or false and instead, with curiosity, wandered around in the framework that Li Luo had created for them. As long as Li Luo continued to supplement his worldview and half-truthfully conveyed the "truth" to them, they would be able to accept it in a reasonable way.

Mo Ling was stunned listening to this, and his heart was filled with admiration for Li Luo...

"So, are we going to have a decisive battle with the Heavenly Soldiers now?"

"We should not be able to defeat them."

"They have harvested so many abilities, and there are only a few of us. How can we deal with them?"

"Can you escape?"

"No, we are blocked and we can't escape their pursuit."

"It seems that even though we know the purpose of the Heavenly Soldiers, there is nothing we can do..."

The young men surrounding Li Luo were silent. Even if they knew the "truth", they didn't know how to deal with it.

The heavenly soldiers are too strong.

In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is useless.

The fighting spirit that had just been ignited was extinguished again in the sighs.

After understanding everything, all I got was silence.

They didn't ask Li Luo any more questions. They just lowered their heads, wondering what they were thinking...

No matter how true the story Li Luo made up was, the current situation would not change. This city had been completely controlled by the heavenly soldiers. Everyone was trapped in a jar. They couldn't fight back, escape or hide. They could only wait for wave after wave of heavenly soldiers to come and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Xiaokong turned around, touched Xiaolian's head and sighed.

"Brother, is this my problem?" Xiaolian asked in a low voice. She was very smart and had already understood everything from the previous conversations.

"Of course it's not your problem." Xiaokong comforted: "You did nothing wrong."

“But…” Xiaolian’s eyes suddenly turned red, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye: “If I had been obedient and not run away, I wouldn’t have been discovered by the heavenly soldiers. If I hadn’t exposed my ability, they wouldn’t have come to catch me.”

"It's all my fault, brother. If I had stayed in the shelter, none of this would have happened and everyone would be fine..."

Xiaolian could no longer hold back her tears, and they flowed down.

She is just a young girl, and even though she has the ability to control time, she is still a little girl.

She only knew that she had exposed her abilities and attracted the heavenly soldiers.

Looking at Xiaolian with tears streaming down her face, Xiaokong bent down and pinched her face.

"Stop crying. If you keep crying, the heavenly soldiers will hear you."

When Xiaolian heard this, she immediately stopped crying and closed her mouth tightly.

"Xiao Lian, even if you don't reveal yourself, the heavenly soldiers will still harvest us when the time comes. They are our mortal enemies. You just brought everything forward. Now at least we know the truth. Isn't that good?"

Xiaolian didn't say anything, just shook her head.

"What's wrong?"

“We’ll die sooner.”

Children speak without restraint, Xiaolian's answer was very simple. Hearing this somewhat straightforward explanation, Xiaokong was so angry that he laughed and hit Xiaolian on the head.

"What are you thinking? We may not die yet."

"At least I have a way now..." Xiaokong thought for a moment and said seriously: "We can hide in the shelter forever."

"What should I do if I'm hungry?" Xiaolian asked softly.

"If you're hungry, you can turn us back in time to a time when we were not hungry."

Hearing this, Xiaolian nodded seriously.

"Okay, I'll be obedient. Come find me when you're hungry."

She clenched her fists and showed a determined expression. Although there were still tears on her face, she did not show any contempt at all.

Xiaokong looked helpless. He pinched Xiaolian's face again and then stood up.

"Sorry." He said to Li Luo and Mo Ling a little embarrassedly.

"Why do you want to apologize?" Mo Ling asked puzzledly.

"Of course I have to apologize for involving you. This should be a fight between us and the Heavenly Soldiers. It has nothing to do with you. We will leave soon and lead the Heavenly Soldiers to other places."

As he spoke, Xiaokong created a ripple in space and gestured to his other companions, who then jumped in one after another. Xiaolian followed closely behind and entered the ripple.

In an instant, Xiaokong was the only one left here.

Seeing that his companions had left, he suddenly showed a look of fatigue.

There seemed to be some confusion on his face, and some fear that was not right for his age.

"We should leave now. Since the Heavenly Soldiers are targeting us, we shouldn't involve you. I will find a way to solve this problem. When my brothers and sisters regain consciousness, I will discuss countermeasures with them. There will definitely be a solution..."

Xiao Kong muttered, his voice getting lower and lower, and it was obvious that he himself did not have much confidence.

The shadow of the heavenly soldiers has been looming over their heads for too long, and that fear is deeply engraved in their hearts. From childhood to adulthood, these survivors have been constantly running and hiding. How could they possibly ignite a little fighting spirit and overcome this shadow that has lingered for so long?

The fact is that they can't deal with those heavenly soldiers.

All Xiaokong could do was to take everyone and hide first.

“I hope we can meet again.”

He forced a smile at Mo Ling and was about to walk into the ripples.

"and many more!"

Mo Ling quickly stopped him.

"Don't you need help?"

"No." Xiao Kong shook his head: "You have helped enough, I can't even repay you in time, not to mention, you can't help much, and it will put you in danger."

"Goodbye, find a way to leave here and don't come back..."

After saying that, Xiaokong turned around again and walked towards Lianyi firmly.

Before Mo Ling could shout again, he had already stepped into the ripples. The space gradually calmed down, and the young figure had completely disappeared...

Mo Ling and Li Luo looked at the place where the ripples disappeared, and both were silent for a long time.

After a while, they both turned to look at each other and said in unison:
"We can't just leave like this."
