Chapter 300: First Contact with the Natives of the Alien World (3)
"Are you the wanted female thief?"
"Yes." Ye Na felt that with her ability, it would not be difficult to get a wanted warrant.
"I don't know you and I've never seen your wanted poster. Can you please let our entire village go?"
"You have seen me."
"Please, we won't tell anyone about you."
"You killed many of my men, many, many more than in your entire town and all the villages combined."
"Are you here for revenge?"
"Revenge? Yes, I am here for revenge."
Yenna smiled.
"There are so many children in the village. They have done nothing. Please let them go."
"We have more children who die."
The girl fell to the ground and sobbed in despair.
The village chief calmed down and tried to make a final struggle.
"The war has nothing to do with us!"
"You deliver food and water to the military fort."
"The war was started by the big guys. We are just trying to earn some hard-earned money. It has nothing to do with us!"
"Your elders will lead you into the war, and you will seek revenge on them."
The girl interrupted hastily at this moment.
"Our village really doesn't know anything. If you go to the town, the mayor knows everything. It was the mayor who delivered supplies to the military fort."
"The mayor is delivering supplies to the military fort?" Ye Nai raised his eyebrows. See, after some pressure, something else came out.
"Our village only sends food and drink to the soldiers, but the town sends a lot of things."
Yenne nodded and turned her gaze towards the village chief.
"Does the village chief know?"
"I, I only know that the mayor will organize other villages to send supplies to the military fort. I don't know where the supplies come from. Our entire town can't gather so many things. Everything is done by the mayor."
"Very good, your intelligence saved you and you can live a few more days."
The girl prostrated herself on the ground in great humility.
"Sir, you who have come from afar, can you please wake up all our villagers?"
"Lie down for a while. Seeing you all are fine makes me sad and makes me want to kill you all."
The two of them fell silent immediately.
Ye Nai didn't want to get too involved with the villagers. She wanted to talk to the mayor and expand her vocabulary.
So she scattered the spores to take root and grow naturally, collected her things, walked out of the village, threw all the corpses of the civilians in the space on the road, and then returned to the Dongling Secret Realm.
The village chief and the young girl breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground waiting for all the villagers to slowly wake up.
"We are in trouble." The village chief muttered to himself.
"village head?"
The girl looked at him in confusion. Now there were only two people awake. The whole village was silent and even the slightest sound could be heard clearly.
"We are in trouble." The village chief raised his voice, his voice trembling a little, "We are in big trouble."
"Why? What's the big trouble?"
"The military fort has been destroyed. This is a big problem. She can take down our entire village by herself and kill everyone in the military fort. When the people above come to investigate and find that our village is fine, how will they deal with us?"
"Will they arrest us and put us in jail?" The girl was a little scared. "Jail?" The village chief laughed bitterly, "Being in jail is a blessing. There are wars everywhere outside. I heard that the prisons don't accept people anymore. If someone commits a crime, they will be sent to the battlefield to do hard labor."
"No!" The girl was so scared that she shed tears. "Village head, please think of a solution. We have to think of a solution. The decision to go to war was made by the elders above. We did nothing. We didn't even send any men to the battlefield."
"Wait a little longer, wait until we can stand up and see. We must let the mayor know about this. He did all the major work and he knows a lot. The adult will definitely look for him."
The village chief suddenly felt relaxed.
"We can't get well, and neither can the mayor. For generations, we have only been responsible for taking care of the food and drink of the soldiers in the military fort. That damn mayor wants us to provide a portion of the supplies. Ha, our entire village will die, and his family will not survive either."
The young girl hugged the child in her arms and cried silently.
As it grew darker and darker, and when a lamp was needed to see the surroundings clearly, the village chief finally stood up with trembling legs.
"Okay, I'm standing up, you try it too."
The girl put down the child in her arms and stood up. After all, she was young and much more agile than the village chief.
"But everyone is still not awake."
"Don't worry about them for now, light a torch and go to the military fort."
"Yes, village chief."
The girl dragged her still weak legs back home and lit two big torches, giving one to the village chief.
The village chief held a torch and walked out of the village alone, but he didn't go far before he stumbled back with a look of panic and sadness on his face.
"Outside, outside..."
The girl was happy and excited.
"Village Chief, you're back so soon? Look, everyone is awake."
"Awake?" the village chief yelled, "Don't be happy, there is nothing to be happy about, our relatives are dead, their bodies are on the village road!"
The village chief's roar completely dampened the joy of the villagers who had finally woken up.
Immediately, many people stood up one after another, regardless of their weak bodies from lying down for a day, and staggered towards the village road.
The elderly and children with limited mobility stayed where they were.
The girl didn't move. When the village chief roared, she knew it must be true. The appearance of the unknown enemy appeared in her mind. The petite young woman was so strong.
War is just you kill me and I kill you. She must be very sad. In this crappy world, we have to live one day at a time.
After a while, the cries of the crowd were carried by the night wind to the ears of the villagers in the square, and then they started crying here too.
The girl lowered her head, picked up the child in her arms, and went home in silence with her brothers and sisters.
She has no parents or elders in her family, and she has long been numb to the deaths in the village.
The dead villagers were carried back to the square, and then the village chief reorganized people to go to the military fort to take a look.
Once there, the villagers were relieved to find no bodies.
But the next second he breathed a sigh of relief because there was no corpse.
The entire military bunker was empty. Not only were there no corpses, but even the many teleportation platforms that people were used to seeing were gone.
"Village chief, are the enemies coming in?"
"Did the enemy move all the teleportation platforms? Will they use them?"
"How many enemies are there? It must be a large army, right? Can we defeat them? Or should we just surrender?"
"Will you spare us if we surrender? Are you willing to let the prisoners eat food for free?"
"What should I do? Even though this world is fucked up, I don't want to die yet."
"Don't think about whether you can be a prisoner yet. Think about how the mayor will deal with us when the town finds out about this."
Before the village chief could say anything, someone in the crowd spoke up to remind everyone that the topic was becoming increasingly off-topic, and everyone fell silent.
