Chapter 455
In the cold wind, old, weak and sick people were quickly removed from the relocation team, under the cruel law of survival . In order to ensure the success of the relocation and the younger generation could live longer, these people were regarded as ‘burdens’ to them .
If there were no accidents, after the village chief Gao left them, those old, weak, and sick people would immediately be degraded and become savage . It would not take long before they die in the wild .
This was an extremely cruel decision . In Chu Yunsheng’s worldview, such thing was absolutely unacceptable . If it was him, he would rather die helping his loved ones, than abandon his loved ones on the cold scorched land .
But in here, people just quietly followed such ‘law of survival’, even the village chief Gao also abandoned his disabled mother .
In fact, Chu Yunsheng soon learned that so-called 'savages’ were actually the old, sick or weak people that were abandoned, and because of the sword fortress's ruthless oppression, this type of relocation happened very often .
Looking at the people were forced to leave their home, Chu Yunsheng's dead heart became slightly angry . It was not that he suddenly became a saint or he wanted to save those people, it was that when he saw the cloaked men's flame swords, he could vaguely see the trace of Yao Xiang .
The broadswords they were using was different to the sword that the cloaked man from the fire race used . It was exactly the same as the sword he made for Yao Xiang, even the flame that unleashed by the sword was also very similar .
He was not a type of person who liked to help people, neither was he a type of person that like to bully and oppress other people . Even when he was the most powerful man in Jin Ling, he hadn't abused his power once .
He did not think that a few pieces of papers would save millions of people from this miserable world, and also because he couldn't save anyone, he didn't hold out any hope that other people would use those papers to save the world . But he could never imagine that people would use the methods that he gave to then to oppress and slaughter their own kind!?
If they were really doing this, then what was the difference between them and aliens?
Standing at the entrance of the village, gazing coldly into the dark sky above him, Chu Yunsheng thought . Maybe Jin Ling city was no longer the city he was familiar with, and the people he knew had already changed .
Chu Yunsheng didn't want to carry on thinking . The fate and reality were always very cruel to him . He didn't think that they would change just because of his thoughts . He even wondered that why he still lived in this world? The people like him didn't belong to this world at all .
Turning around, Chu Yunsheng walked towards the eldest kid of Yu family slowly . He picked up the senile-looking girl from the boy's back and hold her in his arms .
The boy didn't stop Chu Yunsheng . His reticent eyes were filled with the tenacity and the persistent, that was not supposed to exist in his age . At that moment, Chu Yunsheng seemed to see the trace of himself from that boy .
Because of the little girl, Chu Yunsheng spent the past three days with her family . With such a simple family, it wasn't hard for Chu Yunsheng to know everything that happened to them .
The back of the boy's father had been ruined by the extreme pressure, he could barely protect himself . Without the proper treatment and nutrition, the boy's mother was extremely feeble after she gave birth to four kids .
The second kid of the family, which was the elder daughter, gave her whole life away for the family . The boy's younger brother, which was the third kid of the family, was still very young, he was not able to provide enough food for the entire family . The fourth kid, which was the younger daughter, was originally going to have the same fate as her elder sister . But she was lucky because Chu Yunsheng woke up early . And lastly, there was an infant who needs to be fed daily .
With this kind of family, even if it was Chu Yunsheng, he would also feel hopeless . However, the oldest kid just silently took over his father's job and worked endlessly for his entire family .
However, despite the body had a strong will, he had a flimsy heart . Since Chu Yunsheng brought back the fourth kid, the boy always avoided having eye contact with his younger sister . In the past three days, he went out earlier than before, and came home later than usual, working twice harder than before just wanting to avoid the guilt inside his mind .
It was later on when Chu Yunsheng learned from his younger brother, that at that night when they needed to draw lots, the eldest kid said that he didn't ‘want’ to go to the forbidden land . . .
