Chapter 150
Mu Xiaohu didn't know that no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find Lin Qingsi right above his head, or in other words, on the top floor of a tall building above this underground auction house.
He stood by the window, watching the familiar city gradually sink into the dark night, and then gradually brighten up in the slight light of morning light.
A tall, sturdy young man stood behind him and said softly, "...80% of the people on the list are already inside. The whereabouts of the rest are also under our control and can be arrested at any time. In addition, the Fourth Army and the Seventh Army have already entered the city secretly in batches, and we are just waiting for your order to start the operation."
Lin Qingsi nodded, still looking at the scenery outside the window.
Seen from this height, all the smoke, conflict and depression were diluted by the distance, and the city seemed as peaceful and calm as ever.
"Report!" A young soldier suddenly came in and said, "An unexpected incident occurred at the auction house. A human boy and a Moon Wolf boy broke in and had a conflict with the guards. The incident has not yet been resolved."
"Oh?" The burly young man turned around and asked, "Has anyone left?"
As he asked, he reached out and took the tablet computer that the soldier brought, which was showing the scene inside the auction house.
"Not at the moment, because the auction of the most precious Moon Wolf Clan cubs has not yet ended."
Lin Qingsi also looked sideways with some curiosity, then frowned.
The fight in the auction hall was fierce, with more than a dozen people besieging the two teenagers in the center of the stage. Although no lethal weapons were used, it was incredible that the two could hold on for so long, especially when one of them was protecting a little girl in his arms.
"This young man..." The burly young man paused, then zoomed in on Mu Xiaohu in the picture until he almost took up the entire screen, and asked uncertainly: "Does he have an invisible... protective shield?"
Lin Qingsi frowned as he looked at the dark-skinned boy on the screen. Although he looked very ordinary and unfamiliar, his figure... his expression... and some advanced weapons were not difficult to spot upon careful observation.
He rubbed his brows, sighed helplessly, and said, "Let the people below go out! Capture the target people for me! And... ensure the safety of those children."
"...Yes!" The burly young man was a little surprised, but did not raise any questions and immediately went to execute it.
Lin Qingsi looked at the city outside the window. Not long after he gave the order, he could see flames erupting simultaneously in several places in the city, as if something had exploded. Plumes of thick smoke rose up, and sporadic gunshots and shouts could be heard even at such a high place.
At his feet, a group of soldiers who had been ready for battle rushed in like a tiger descending from a mountain. Gunshots rang out like popping beans. Anyone who tried to resist was shot dead. Some guys who shouted their identities were twisted by the arms and pressed to the ground, and tortured mercilessly. Some people tried to escape, but were punched in the face and bled. They were caught crying.
"This country... this world... will change in my hands."
Lin Qingsi thought silently.
"So... where are you watching now?"
"Mr. Rong! Mr. Rong!"
Duoduo ran over with a thud, but before he could reach Rong Yuan, he fell to the ground with a thud. He immediately jumped up, rushed to Rong Yuan in three or two steps, and hugged his legs.
"What's wrong, Duoduo?"
Rong Yuan put down the teacup, leaned over and touched his forehead, and asked, "Are you hurt?"
"Um~ No." Duoduo shook his head, holding onto his legs tightly, his little tail wagging behind him, and said, "Mr. Rong, I... I have something to ask you."
"What's up?"
"That's... that..." Duoduo pointed his fingers awkwardly, secretly glanced at Rong Yuan's face, and then said, "They... those people on the ground... are fighting again!"
"Oh." Rong Yuan understood, smiled and comforted: "It's okay, your brother will be fine. Alpha is watching him!"
"No... not that... I know my brother is safe..." Duoduo twisted her fingers, looked at Rong Yuan timidly, and whispered: "I... I want to say... those people are really pitiful... Mr. Rong... Mr. Rong, can you help them?"
The child's eyes are timid, but clear and simple, as clean as a pool of clear water.
During these days, Rong Yuan did not block the news from the ground to Lacini's family on the spaceship. If they wanted, they could learn a lot about the ground from Alpha. However, Lacini's mother, perhaps out of caution, did not dare to make too many requests. At most, she was satisfied to see if her eldest son was safe. Rong Yuan knew that she prayed silently for Lacini and others in the bedroom every day. The other children were obsessed with various interesting things on the spaceship and rarely cared about anything other than Lacini. In the eyes of these children, those disputes and chaos had little to do with them. As long as their families were safe and healthy, it was enough.
Only the child Duoduo is not very interested in those dazzling games, but he cares about the changing situation on Zhongwu Star and many realistic and cruel things. He also has his own thoughts during this period. Although due to his age and experience, his considerations are often superficial and naive, he does have his own ideas.
Therefore, Rong Yuan did not perfunctorily say something like "You will understand when you grow up", but thought about it seriously and then asked, "Why do you ask this, Duoduo?"
"Because... because I saw a lot of people died... humans and aliens too... a lot of people died, it was really pitiful... some were injured, some children couldn't find their parents, and many people were crying... I felt so sad." Duoduo's tears welled up as he spoke. He sniffed and said, "At that time I thought... if, if they could get your help like I did... then wouldn't they become like this... Mom said, Mom said, I can't make such excessive demands of you... You have done a great favor by saving us... but... but I..."
He didn't know how to describe his feelings. Tears just kept falling down his face. His eyes were red from crying and he looked pitiful.
He couldn't explain why he felt so sad and painful inside, but Rong Yuan understood that he was crying for the tragic fate of the world, for his own powerlessness, and even... he was crying because he was able to be saved while others were still sinking in the sea of suffering.
Although this child is only four years old, his natural compassion and kindness surpass those of many adults.
So Rong Yuan couldn't treat him as a simple child at this moment. He leaned over and picked up Duoduo, wiped the tears from his face, sighed softly, and then asked: "Then Duoduo, who do you think we should help if we need to help?"
Duoduo blinked and said with a nasal voice: "Of course... of course he is a good person!"
This is purely childish talk.
Rong Yuan smiled and asked again: "Then... who is the good guy?"
Duoduo was stunned.
"You may think... the bullied are the good ones, and the bullies are the bad ones; the hurt are the good ones, and the murderers are the bad ones... but things in the world are not that simple."
Rong Yuan waved his hand and called up a series of images, saying, "Like these... these people who hunt humans are cruel and brutal, and outrageous, but... well, for example, this fox tribe member, look at his appearance, isn't he scary? Doesn't he look cruel?"
Looking at the horrible person on the screen whose skin most of the body looked like melted red wax, Duoduo covered her eyes in fear. When she heard Rong Yuan's question, she nodded involuntarily.
Rong Yuan continued, "But... this man's parents, brothers, and pregnant wife were all killed by humans because they wanted to stop humans from forcibly abducting and selling his two daughters... The reason why he looks so terrible is that he was severely injured by someone and then thrown into a fire. This man was lucky to escape death, but his existence is like crawling through hell. People who have not experienced it cannot imagine how much pain he is in."
As Rong Yuan continued to talk, Duo Duo gradually put down his hands. He looked at the man's still extremely scary face, but he no longer felt scared or even disgusted like before. He just felt deep sympathy and admiration. But when he saw the man killing other humans, he clenched his hands tightly again.
"The people who hurt him before... who killed his family... were human beings; but the people he killed now were not his enemies, but innocent human beings."
Rong Yuan called up another image, which showed a person half leaning against the wall with his eyes open, half of his body almost stained with blood. Although Alpha had blurred the bloodiest part of the image, the scene still made people feel cold.
"This is one of the humans who was killed. His name is Xu Songyi, he is 43 years old, he has a sick grandmother, a wife and two children under five years old, he is the only one who supports the family, if he dies, the family will fall apart. At the same time, this person has never done anything bad in his life, he is very compassionate even to aliens. He runs a restaurant, every night he would pack up some of the leftovers of the day and quietly put them in the alley behind the restaurant, leaving them for some homeless alien wanderers to take to fill their stomachs."
"This is Kahar, the head of this country. I think you must know him. This man is greedy and stupid, with mediocre talents, unworthy of being a king. People around him are either afraid of him or hate him. After his death, almost none of those who were close to him felt sad, and they were all busy fighting for power. But there were also countless people crying and heartbroken. Do you know why?"
Duoduo shook his head.
Rong Yuan said, "Because the 23 years he was the head of state was the period when the empire developed the fastest. 23 years ago, natural disasters and man-made calamities occurred frequently, and many people in this country did not have enough food to eat or clothes to wear, including many people from the Celestial race who starved to death. But in these 23 years, people's lives have been getting better every year, and even the alien races have gained more living space and some basic education opportunities. No matter who led these things, Kahar, as the head of state, must have contributed to it. Do you think that ordinary people, who benefited from his governance, should thank him?"
"And Yang Siyu." Rong Yuan changed a few more pictures. "Many people think that his ambition is the cause of the current chaos, so many people scold him online and dig up a lot of his dark history. Hmm... this man actually has 17 mistresses, two of whom are poor students sponsored by him. In addition, he also embezzled, accepted bribes, and appointed people based on personal connections. If you count carefully, there are 36 charges, and each one should be sentenced to death. Is this kind of person hateful?"
Dongdong is also one of the people who has always disliked Yang Siyu, but he has now learned not to make comments easily.
As expected, Rong Yuan then continued, "But it was also this person who stood at the forefront of the flood when the Yushui River flooded. He personally carried sandbags to reinforce the embankment in the heavy rain. When the flood could swallow him up at any time, he worked hard for seventeen hours with the local ordinary soldiers without eating or drinking, and finally successfully prevented a major flood from happening. Is such a person respectable?"
