Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 136 If you're not leaving, I'm not leaving either.
"I am the son of a farmer!"

"Although I resell the supplies in the warehouse, I dare not spend a single penny of it! Please spare me!"

An AI police officer dragged a gaunt man out of the building.

He was in charge of a certain supplies warehouse. He replaced the supplies in the warehouse with inferior ones and dumped them all. Now his misconduct has been exposed.

The AI ​​police officer remained steadfast.

It shoved the man into the prison van and then drove away.

There are more than just this one people to arrest today, so there's no point in wasting any time here.

"The boss's father is really decisive and efficient."

Xia Dou whispered.

The villagers of Dragon Bone Village arrived just in time to witness the AI ​​police officers arresting a corrupt official.

In the past few days, Bai Jingyu has issued several orders, and the entire Jiuchuan City has undergone tremendous and rapid changes. They have witnessed all of this and have developed a deep respect for Bai Jingyu.

Sui Xing slowly spoke: "Reducing the population, stockpiling supplies, and building aerial shelters—the boss's father is making preparations for the disaster. Jiu Chuan in this world will become humanity's bridgehead against the ecological crisis."

Everyone nodded.

Maido looked around and whispered, "We've been to Jiuchuan before, but we never expected it to be so prosperous before the apocalypse. I heard that the boss grew up in this city. She's so lucky."

After the apocalypse, Jiuchuan was not only a ruin, but also a place where many Devouring Beasts slept. However, Jiuchuan before the disaster was completely different.

Neon lights filled the sky, order was maintained, and people moved about busily. After three days in Jiuchuan, all the awakened ones had a good experience of life in the old world, and what they saw and felt far exceeded their expectations.

"It's so wonderful, and there are so many games to play." Xia Dou paused for a moment, "It's just that the air quality isn't very good, and I have a bit of a cough."

"Cough cough cough-"

Before she could finish speaking, she coughed a few times as appropriate, and it wasn't faked.

Shattered Star nodded.

She whispered, "The old world is heavily polluted, but it has nothing to do with Hisakawa. Hisakawa has been working very hard to protect the environment. It's air pollution from other places that has spread here."

She looked toward the street corner.

There was an air vending machine there, selling clean compressed air from the Heluo Kingdom. If the advertisement printed on the machine wasn't false, one can of air would be enough for a family of three to breathe for a whole day and night.

From the moment she saw the machine until now, only a few minutes have passed, and more than a dozen people have already purchased compressed air.

Sui Xing whispered, "The world is too big. Unless the boss's father builds a super big dome to cover Jiu Chuan, this kind of problem is inevitable."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Living in the same world, even if we didn't create some problems, we still have to share the consequences.

Once the problem escalates, no one can remain unaffected.

Xia Dou looked up and gazed into the distance.

There was a giant neon sign there, with sexy women constantly trying on various clothes to attract new users to the shopping website.

"People in the old world have such good living conditions. They don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, there are no Devouring Beasts that covet their life essence, and they have a lot of high technology at their disposal, yet they don't cherish it."

“The villagers all love life so much, yet people still sacrifice their lives in field missions from time to time.”

Xia Dou sighed.

Maido smiled and said, "Stop being sentimental, you're not like yourself anymore."

"Once the boss wakes up, he should move the village to this world, and then the village's situation will greatly improve."

Sizzle sizzle—

Ertong's electronic voice came from behind: "So none of you are planning to colonize planets, and you've all decided to stay here?"

The smiles faded. Whether to continue following Boss Bai or head to the colony planet—this question had been troubling them for three days, and some were still undecided.

They were all quite young and hadn't been raised by Bai Yuekui personally, so their feelings for Bai Yuekui weren't as deep as those of the village elders.

The greatest benefit of following Bai Yuekui in the apocalypse is survival.

But they arrived in a world before the catastrophe, where they could now obtain tickets for interstellar spaceships simply by speaking, far away from the perilous Earth.

They seemed to have no reason to follow Bai Yuekui anymore.

Shan Da scratched his head: "Xia Hua is pregnant. I don't want to take her on a bumpy journey in space. If something happens, there won't be any good doctors to help us get treatment."

"And you?" Er Tong asked again.

Maiduo smiled and said, "The boss calls my dad Xiao Deng. With that kind of relationship, our family can't possibly leave the boss."

"Wherever the boss is, that's where I am," Suixing said firmly.

Kolova said expressionlessly, "I'm going to stay and wait for the Life Iteration System to be successfully developed. ASH has already promised me that once the Life Iteration System is successful, it will definitely help me revive Po Kong."

Jiu Ge shrugged: "If none of you leave, I won't leave either."

“If Jiuge doesn’t leave, I won’t leave either.” Amur winked at Jiuge.

Jiu Ge turned his face to the side, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Sui Xing turned to look at Er Tong: "And you?"

"I plan to take the boat ticket and leave," Er Tong replied.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Er Tong continued, "I was born after the disaster and have never enjoyed a single day of peace."

"These three days in Jiuchuan have made me realize that I don't actually like fighting and killing. I should find a quiet place to fish, study cooking, or do some handicrafts."

"Outer space is great."

Xia Dou opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

She wanted to persuade Er Tong to stay, but she wasn't very familiar with Er Tong, and Er Tong was originally an outsider to Longgu Village. It was understandable that he would choose to leave when given the opportunity.

“I understand you,” Shattered Star said slowly.

"We have no choice in the end times."

"But now, everyone can choose how to spend the rest of their lives. If you're sure you want to go, I can help you get a ticket."

"However, you need to make a decision quickly."

Shattered Star said in a deep voice, "It will be difficult to leave after the disaster breaks out. The spaceship you are on may be carrying earth vine spores, and it may be shot down before it leaves the atmosphere."

All eyes were on Er Tong's face.

They desperately wished their gaze were penetrating enough to see the expressions beneath Er Tong's heavy mask.

Two of Bamboo sighed deeply: "Alas!"

“If none of you are leaving, then I won’t leave either. We’re all from the same village, so if we’re leaving, we’ll leave together. If we’re staying, we’ll stay together.”

Everyone immediately smiled, and the tense atmosphere melted away.

Ertong paused for a moment, then said, "There's one more thing. Do you think it's possible that a long time ago, intelligent life left this planet and took the Mana ecosystem to other planets?"

"Going to colonize a planet is like escaping one tiger's den only to fall into another!"

Everyone was slightly startled.

"You know what, it's actually possible." Shandong stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.
