Chapter 444: The Elegy of Survivors

Walking into the castle, Quinn and Aisha took off their black robes. Quinn was a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes. The high nose bridge seemed to tell others how proud he was.

And Aisha was also blonde, with a good-looking face like a canary, making people unable to help but pity.

"Our castle is a bit dark, mainly to avoid attracting fire dragons as much as possible, and light is the fatal thing that attracts fire dragons, so..."

Aisha didn't finish her words, but Ye Nan understood what she wanted to express.

"It seems you are very familiar with the creature of fire dragon." Ye Nan looked at the castle, only feeling that the castle was very dilapidated. From the ground, there were some intermittent *pop-pop* sounds, as if someone was digging a hole.

"We have been avoiding fire dragons for so many years. If we don't understand them, wouldn't we be eaten up?" Speaking of fire dragons, Aisha's interest was not high, just because she had to introduce it to Ye Nan, she reluctantly continued. Ye Nan clearly saw the disgust and hatred in Aisha's eyes.

"In the past, many people didn't understand this truth. They turned on electric lights at night for their own convenience, and the result was being eaten by fire dragons. They simply deserved it." Speaking of this, Aisha's face showed hatred for iron not becoming steel.

"Don't be like this, Aisha." Quinn stopped Aisha when she was about to collapse. "Everyone doesn't hope it will be like this. They don't know either."

"Can you avoid it if you don't hope? How many people died in vain because they didn't know." Aisha suddenly roared at Quinn, and the whole person ran out, the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled and spilled out.

Quinn saw this, could only shake his head and sigh. "Sigh." After sighing, he looked at Ye Nan, who was confused, and explained, "At the beginning, when fire dragons just defeated humans and occupied the continent, many people didn't know that lights would attract fire dragons, resulting in many people being eaten by fire dragons. Aisha's father, mother, and younger brother were all killed by fire dragons because of this."

Speaking of this, Quinn shook his head. "In fact, there are many people who were killed like this. Not turning on lights at night is the experience piled up by predecessors with their own lives."

Ye Nan heard this, fell silent, and began to carefully think about his initial strategy. Like the people in the Machine City, the people here also hated fire dragons, but unlike the people in the Machine City, their hatred was greater, and even difficult to eliminate, because machines are humans' helpers, and fire dragons are not.

"Quinn... Quinn..." A short Asian man ran to Quinn, panting loudly. "Eddie is crazy again."

"What." Quinn's face changed upon hearing this. As for what was going on with Eddie being crazy, he understood. That was the madness that would destroy the castle. Thinking of this, Quinn hurriedly said, "Gari, you help me greet the guests, I'll go take a look."

"Wait." Ye Nan hurriedly called Quinn, who intended to leave. "I also want to go take a look. Perhaps I can help."

Quinn thought for a while, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Ye Nan's pocket, remembering the magical toothpaste Ye Nan took out, so he nodded and agreed. "Fine, let's go take a look together."

Quinn in front, Ye Nan behind, the two went out from the castle together, rushed to a place covered by fishing nets, Quinn lifted the fishing net, looked at Eddie who was holding a child inside, and said anxiously, "What do you want to do again."

"Again?" Ye Nan's heart moved when he heard this, but he didn't speak, just watched quietly, watching their conversation.

He was just an outsider, and there was no need to intervene in the past, although this castle was the 454th place he found after coming to Europe.

"I want to go pick fruits with others, Quinn!" Eddie put down the child in his hand, then jumped down, standing side by side with others, his face calm and steady.

"No, no." Quinn shook his head like a wave. "I said, you can't go pick fruits. It's not ready yet, the fruits are not ripe yet. If you pick them all, next time, we won't have enough seeds."

"But the children are hungry." Eddie suddenly got angry. "In this world where we eat the last meal without the next, looking at the fruits but not being able to eat them, how uncomfortable it is. The children simply can't hold on. Do you know? Don't always think about seeds, seeds. The present is gone, let alone the future."

"But we must consider the future. Now the fruits are not ripe yet. If you pick them all, they won't grow again. In this way, there will be no fruits in the next season." Quinn said earnestly, wanting to persuade Eddie to change his mind.

He knew that Eddie was also for the children's good. He knew that Eddie was like him, all for the children's good, so although there were differences, although Eddie's actions might cause no fruits in the next season, he was still persuading, not using violent means.

"But we can't wait for the next season." Eddie roared. "The children simply can't hold on. They are all hungry."

"How can it be? It's impossible. I calculated that if we only eat one meal a day, we can completely hold on to the next season." Quinn was also excited. "We will survive. We all decided. We want to dig deep holes and struggle together. We will definitely live longer than them."

"Go to hell with living longer, go to hell with living longer." Eddie kicked the box beside him, kicking the box over. The teenager on the box jumped down from the box, but didn't say anything.

"What digging deep holes, what struggling together, I spit, you look at that group of people yourself, look at that group of people who are lazy and slippery, they are more active than anyone when eating, when doing things, they all become sheep one by one."

Quinn listened, his face flushed. He naturally knew who Eddie was talking about. That was a group of refugees who had only been taken in half a month ago. When they did things, they were always lazy and slippery. If you look at them, they do things; if you don't look at them, they stop and rest, chat, and when eating, they grab more than anyone else.

In fact, if he hadn't taken those people in, food wouldn't have been so tight. They could at least eat three meals in two days, unlike now, eating at most two meals in two days.

"I know, this is not your fault." Eddie looked at Quinn, whose face was flushed, and also understood that his words were really too much, and shook his head to deny the words just now. "In fact, I don't blame you. If you hadn't taken me in back then, I wouldn't be here today, but what I want to say is that the children can't hold on. We must find food, go to the city."

"But if you go out, you might encounter those guys. Those guys are hungry themselves." Quinn shook his head and refused.

On the European continent, fire dragons are very hungry. Since these fire dragons bred until now, humans and other animals have been eaten up. These fire dragons have an extraordinary appetite. They are like locusts, sweeping everything.

If Eddie and the others go out, they are likely to be eaten by fire dragons, not only him, but even this small castle will be eaten by fire dragons.

In fact, there is a lot of food outside, some common bagged food, as well as rice, chili, and fungus food, all quietly placed in the city, waiting for them to eat, because fire dragons don't eat these at all, perhaps they don't realize that these can be eaten. After all, rice, chili, and fungus food all need processing.

But the number of fire dragons is too large. As long as people go out, they will be swallowed by fire dragons and become fire dragons' food, so no one dares to go to the city to find food.

"I can't manage that much anymore. The children are hungry. I don't want to lose them again. My wife and two children are already dead, and I won't necessarily lead the fire dragons back." Eddie said, and was about to go out.

"No." Quinn pushed Eddie back, then snatched the key. "I can't go out. The key is in my hand."

The key Quinn referred to was the car key. It was a distance from here to the city. If there was no car to travel, they simply couldn't get there because they were all hungry. In this way, even if Eddie had the heart to find food, he couldn't go.

Eddie's face changed upon hearing this. This was the first time Quinn used this method, catching him off guard.

Seeming to see Eddie's fear in his heart, Quinn shook his head and explained, "I know you have made up your mind, but I have also made up my mind not to let you go out."

"This is not a prison, Quinn, don't think about imprisoning me." Eddie clenched his fists and said hatefully.

"But your going out will bring danger to the castle." A man behind Quinn said, "You should be clear that you are a member of this group, unless you don't come back after going out."

Eddie's expression stiffened upon hearing this, and the anger in his heart became even worse. As someone who could live until now, Eddie knew the danger of the city very well. Every city was occupied by at least ten fire dragons. Those fire dragons had already treated the city as a lair. If the people in the castle drove him out, he would have nowhere to go, and in the end, he would definitely become fire dragon food.

"I am also doing this for everyone's good." Eddie took a deep breath and put himself on the name of righteousness. "Everyone knows that food is almost gone. If we continue, everyone will not be able to hold on. Instead of waiting for death here, it is better to fight, perhaps we can fight for a future."

"The predecessors in front of you have already told us that fighting cannot fight for a future. It will only make us fall into the final despair." The man behind Quinn didn't eat Eddie's set at all. "As for the future, what you said, the future is a future thing, we just manage the present."

"Also, it's useless for you to roar here. I don't want to waste my tongue with you at all. Whether you go or stay, you can decide for yourself. We won't interfere with you, but please remember, if you go, you are no longer one of us. We are not kind people like Quinn. We will definitely be hard-hearted." The man dug his ears, picked out a booger, and flicked it in front of Eddie. "Anyone who might bring fire dragons to us will be rejected."

The man said, and walked away. When he left, he glanced at Ye Nan, with a lot of defense in his eyes.

Eddie watched the man leave and immediately became angry. "Look at the people you took in. They are really hard-hearted. If we had rejected them back then, they would have starved to death outside long ago."

At first, the castle was Quinn's alone, but as time went on, more and more people joined the castle, and the castle gradually was not Quinn's alone, although Quinn still had great prestige.

"I recognize their words." Quinn fell silent and said helplessly, "We must prevent fire dragons from finding here as much as possible. You understand, Eddie, we are too weak in front of fire dragons."

"Damn it." Eddie punched the box beside him and said hatefully, "You are killing children."

"We will survive." Quinn stepped forward to comfort Eddie. "Believe me, we will definitely survive. By the way, let me introduce you. This is the... from the American continent."

Quinn stopped here, suddenly finding that he didn't know what Ye Nan was called at all, and stopped for a while.

Ye Nan stepped forward and introduced himself, "I am called Ye Nan, from the Space-Time Empire of the American continent."

"Space-Time Empire of the American continent?" Eddie chewed on this sentence, carefully recalling the empire he had heard of, but couldn't find any memory about the Space-Time Empire.

Seeing Eddie's appearance, Ye Nan knew that he didn't know the Space-Time Empire at all, but thinking about it, it was normal for others not to know. Ye Nan thought of this and introduced the Space-Time Empire to Eddie.

"In short, the Americas have been completely shrouded in the glory of the Space-Time Empire, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people have food and drink."

Ye Nan fooled people without leaving any room. He said the future things as things that had already happened.

"Is it really that good?" Eddie's eyes shone, and he couldn't help but ask. Not only him, but the three children beside him were also shining, full of longing in their eyes.

"Of course." Ye Nan nodded and said affirmatively.

"Pity..." Eddie's expression suddenly became lost. He silently hugged the little girl beside him, put her on the box, and said solemnly, "Angel, you remember, if one day there is a chance to go to the American continent, you must go, and you, the same."

Eddie put the other two children on the box. "If there is a chance, you must go."

"Hmm."

The three children agreed together and said in unison, "If there is a chance, we will definitely go."

"Very good, this is not in vain for uncle to love you." Eddie kissed the three children on the cheeks one by one, then turned his head and said to Quinn, "You must take good care of the children."

"What's wrong with you." Quinn realized that something was wrong and couldn't help but raise his voice.

"I want to find food." Eddie walked up and snatched the key. "I want to find food and leave a hope, a future for the children."

"Please don't stop me. If you can, please take care of the children for me. My food will be left to them." (To be continued.) ===== CHAPTER 445 =====

"Please do not stop me. If you can, please take care of the children for me. My food, just leave it for them." (To be continued.)
