Chapter 285 Why did this happen?!
In just two and a half hours, Kangcheng and Mucheng's teams disappeared into the dense forest not far away.
Cangnian, on the other hand, led the Black King Serpent to erase the traces left by the migrating caravan.
Even the areas on the way here, which were melted by Tiger Dad's black flame domain and exposed soil.
Cangnian also urged the wind to follow the tiger, blowing the surrounding snow over and using the prey's hooves to dab it all over for camouflage.
However, time was limited, and he couldn't maintain his disguise the whole way. He only did it for a few kilometers, and it ended once the migration teams from Kangcheng and Mucheng had all left.
"That should be enough, but it will only mislead them."
By the time they realize what's happening and come looking for us, it's enough that we don't immediately head straight for the evacuation area.
Seeing the disguise he had maintained all along, Cang Nian nodded in approval.
……
"You...you live with evolved beings? And there are so many ordinary people too?"
Back in the ranks, Cangnian saw the nine captured soldiers and looked utterly shocked.
What shocked them the most was the enormous size of the Black King Serpent.
"That's right. Look, we can not only live in harmony with evolved beings and ordinary people, but ordinary people can also live with evolved creatures."
What determines a relationship is not status, but people's hearts and the experiences they share together.
It is foolish to treat evolved beings and ordinary people as two completely different groups and to oppose and be hostile towards them.
Before we became evolved beings, we were first and foremost human beings, people of the Dragon Kingdom.
Seeing that the soldier was willing to speak, Yichen continued to ramble on.
"Hmph! Don't believe their nonsense! It's all an act!"
I refuse to believe that evolved beings won't fight for power and oppress ordinary people!
But the other soldier, still looking at him with hostility, snorted coldly.
"Of course, evolved beings will fight for power and profit, and naturally they will oppress ordinary people."
But isn't the purpose of the government and the military to unite people who belong to the same land, share common ancestors, yet are all different, into a cohesive whole, seeking common ground while respecting differences?
Qin Changyi, standing to the side, said with piercing eyes.
He remembered what had happened in Cannes.
When disaster struck, evolved beings who possessed extraordinary powers and were far stronger than ordinary people appeared.
Power breeds ambition; the civilian evolvers, unwilling to continue accepting official control, thus joined forces to coerce the Kangcheng authorities…
At that time, he became cowardly and compromised, which led to the deformity of Kangcheng.
Fortunately, he later realized his mistake and saw things more clearly, which allowed him to set things right.
It was only with the strong intervention of the Cang Nian family that Kangcheng was able to achieve its current unity and cohesion.
If he had continued to tolerate it back then...
If it weren't for the intervention of Cang Nian's family at that time...
Kangcheng might then descend into a hell on earth where evolved beings are superior to ordinary people, and ordinary people are treated like slaves or even pigs.
However, his rejection of the extreme of evolved beings oppressing ordinary people does not mean he would accept a situation where ordinary people completely hate evolved beings, or even regard them as major enemies and kill them on sight.
This is also an extreme, but it's the complete opposite of the other extreme.
Upon hearing Qin Changyi's words, the nine soldiers all wore complex expressions, and the madness in their eyes was no longer so resolute.
"Seek common ground while reserving differences, and unite into a cohesive whole."
But... but those evolved beings don't think that way!
They consider themselves a new generation of humans, and they treat us as defective products!
What can we do? Only by killing them all can we end this!
A soldier's face contorted into a ferocious expression, his eyes turning bloodshot as he gritted his teeth.
"You killed all the evolved beings?"
Yi Chen asked in surprise.
"That's right! They all deserve to die!"
They don't even consider us one of their own anymore, so why should we treat them as one of our own?!
Only when they are all dead can we ordinary people be considered human beings!
The soldier's forehead veins bulged as he spoke viciously.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian frowned.
From the soldiers' words, it is not difficult to infer that a major upheaval had occurred here.
The fact that this military fortress could even preserve helicopters suggests that it must have had electromagnetic shielding facilities.
In this way, even if a terrifying electromagnetic storm occurs, the chips of important weapons will not be destroyed, thus preventing these heavy weapons from becoming inoperable.
The specifications of this border garrison are definitely top-notch in all aspects.
Therefore, the earthquake that occurred on the night of the spiritual energy revival tide may not have caused any damage to this military fortress at all.
Given the quality of the Dragon Kingdom's army, it is estimated that they will send troops to rescue nearby disaster-stricken cities the next day.
It is only natural that survivors would seek refuge with the military.
If Cang Nian remembers correctly, an army group should have between 50,000 and 100,000 men.
However, these people are still too few compared to the hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of survivors in a city.
The more people there are, the more evolved beings there will be.
If the army dares to fire on civilians, its firearms will not be able to cause any trouble.
However, if the military adheres to its original rules and regulations, it could indeed be overthrown if it is ambushed by premeditated and organized evolved beings.
It's just a mystery how the evolved beings, after wielding such power, were ultimately overthrown by the army.
But one can imagine that the battle in which the army turned the tide against the evolved humans must have been incredibly brutal.
This is why the military fortress is so hostile to evolved humans. Even Yi Chen, an outsider evolved human, was chased and killed by machine guns as soon as he uttered a single word.
It's impossible for an ordinary person's voice to travel that far amidst the roar of machine guns.
It's likely that's how the other party judged Yichen to be an evolved being.
"Wait... this is different from Jia Cheng and the fat monk..."
Both sides are large groups, and it's normal for some to act impulsively and go to extremes.
However, not everyone should go to extremes and share such a common hatred towards the evolved beings.
Evolvers are also human beings. Once their ambition is aroused, they may oppress ordinary people, but they will also take care of the ordinary people they care about.
This situation is absolutely abnormal!
After carefully analyzing the situation, Cang Nian immediately realized what had made him feel awkward from the beginning!
"Ouch~!"
The more Cang Nian thought about it, the more something seemed amiss. He quickly turned to look at Yi Chen and expressed his thoughts using both his mouth and claws.
Yi Chen interpreted Cang Nian's meaning, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"I'm going to ask you a few questions now, and you must answer them truthfully."
Did any of your relatives or friends from before the Reiki revival awaken as evolved beings?
Have they taken care of you because they became powerful?
They were dragged into it and killed; were you saddened?
Yi Chen quickly asked these questions, staring intently at the group, seeking answers.
"Family...friends...evolvers..."
Take care of... kill...
Class monitor, he was an evolved being, and I... I killed him...
His blood splattered on me...
Ah—!!! Why is this happening?!
Upon hearing this, one of the soldiers was stunned into thought, and then muttered a few words.
The more he spoke, the more terrified his eyes became.
The more he talked, the more prominent the veins on his forehead became.
In the end, he raised his fist and smashed it hard against his head, tears of regret streaming down his face.
