Chapter 445: Play

The candlelight flickered, bringing a trace of light to this small space. The walls were full of unknown patterns, seemingly people, seemingly objects.

Quinn and Ye Nan, the two stood behind, and in front were a group of children. These children sat on stools neatly as if they were reading, but in fact, they were just watching a play.

"Submit to me." The Black Knight said, "Only in this way will the battle end."

In the play, the one wearing a mask and black clothes was the Black Knight.

"No way." The White Knight said. The so-called White Knight was actually a person wearing gray clothes, not white clothes.

The White Knight refused the Black Knight's invitation, and the two immediately fought together, causing bursts of exclamation from the surrounding children.

"You called me here, not to watch such a play." Ye Nan yawned. In the eyes of children, the play was very exciting, but in his eyes, it was very childish. This was because they were standing at different angles. Of course, Ye Nan wouldn't say it. After all, the performance object was children, not people like him.

"Do you have any views on the children below?" Quinn's voice was a bit low.

"Very cute." Ye Nan said. He had no contact with children. Besides being able to say cute, what else could he say?

"But they will die in the near future, maybe starve to death, maybe be eaten as snacks by fire dragons, maybe other ways of death, but their future will not have light." Quinn's voice was lower, faintly, with a kind of depression.

Ye Nan vaguely understood what Quinn was going to say next, but he still remained silent.

"Here, they can only starve, but there is no way, we don't have enough food."

"As the hope of human future, they cannot learn knowledge, cannot enjoy the benefits that society should give. I feel I am sorry for them."

"But saying sorry is useless. Even if it is a thousand sorrys, ten thousand sorrys, it is useless. It simply cannot save their future."

Quinn's emotions were excited, and his voice inevitably became louder, causing other children to turn their heads and pay attention. Quinn saw this and immediately lowered his voice. "I know you are not an ordinary person. You can come to Europe from the Americas, no matter whether you have a team or not, it proves that you have ability."

"Then please help me, help the future of humanity, take them to the Americas, to the Space-Time Empire."

In Quinn's eyes, injured emotions appeared, desperate emotions appeared. He was like a dying beast, entrusting his children to others who didn't belong to him at all. Although doing so was very dangerous, it was the only way.

"Here, the children have to follow us and endure hunger. We adults can't bear it, let alone these children."

"So, please, take the children away."

Quinn lowered his head, revealing a pleading expression. Proud as he was, for the sake of the children's future, he couldn't help but lower his head.

"I am just an ordinary person." Ye Nan said in a low voice. "The reason I came here is just luck."

"Europe has millions of fire dragons. Their sense of smell, hearing, and vision are very powerful. It is not that there are no people who can escape their eyes, but there are too few."

"If it were before, I would believe you if you said this; but now, I don't believe it. Before, there was food everywhere, and fire dragons might not care about one or two foods slipping away from their eyes, but now, those damn fire dragons have eaten everything that can be eaten. Now they have also entered famine. It is impossible for them to let go of food."

"If you didn't have people supporting you, how could you come over."

Quinn couldn't help but say all his guesses. "If I didn't guess wrong, you should be a member of the Space-Time Empire, with the purpose of finding out the terrain of Europe, preparing for the recovery of Europe in the future."

"If this is the case, I think I can help you. In fact, people in the castle have some contact with people outside. We know where the strongholds are, we can contact them, just ask you to help these poor children, take them away from here."

Quinn, who didn't know how Ye Nan came, guessed that Ye Nan was the vanguard of the Space-Time Empire. They brought many heavy firearms, so they could kill all the way. He believed that with the loading capacity of an army, it should be no problem to transport all these children away.

But if he let him know that Ye Nan came to the European continent alone, I don't know what expression he would have.

"Although the conditions you said are very moving, I still want to say, no." Ye Nan refused Quinn's request directly.

He came here, just alone, there was no army, no logistics at all. Naturally, wanting to take these children away was also powerless. As for other survivor strongholds, to be honest, he knew more than Quinn.

The Space-Time Empire had been constantly building a satellite interception system. Although this system had not been completely built, it had already begun to play a role. Satellites were in the sky, just like a pair of eyes, paying attention to every move on the European continent at all times. It could be said that those survivor strongholds were all in the Space-Time Empire's database without omission. As long as he wanted, he could know the specific location at any time.

And he came for fire dragons, wanting to know the origin of fire dragons, to see if fire dragons were related to little Godzilla, if they were his nephew generation. If they were, he would want to find a way to reconcile the contradiction between humans and fire dragons. If necessary, he would abandon those humans, but if not, fire dragons had been raging in Europe for too long, and it was time to exterminate them.

"Why." Quinn couldn't help but be impulsive, but when he thought of the children, he calmed down. He calmed down, not because he gave up, but because he wanted to continue to persuade and change Ye Nan's mind.

"Because I really came alone, not some army, some logistics. I tell you the truth, there is none at all." Ye Nan said firmly. "Don't let your imagination run wild."

"Haha." Quinn suddenly laughed loudly, laughing until tears fell. "Do you know where Eddie went?"

Without waiting for Ye Nan to speak, Quinn continued, "He went to the city to find food, to the fire dragon's lair. For this, he will pay the price of his life. No matter whether he found it or not, he can't come back."

"But do you know? He is not for himself, he is for those children, for these cute innocent children."

He had known Eddie for several years, so he naturally knew what Eddie was going to do, and he also knew what he was thinking in his heart. This was completely sacrificing himself to preserve the children. He could imagine that if Eddie came back alive, he would bring the food back, give it to the children, and then continue to go to the city, to the fire dragon's lair, risking his life to find food, until he died.

This is also why Eddie would say such decisive words before leaving, because he knew clearly that he had no future.

For an ordinary person, not hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, but going to the city to find food, it is simply looking for death. Once or twice, maybe not caught, but if the number of times is more, it will definitely not escape, and with the fire dragon's keenness, there is a great chance of being caught.

"I will never submit to you." The White Knight said, "Because you killed my father."

On the play, the White Knight was knocked off the sword by the Black Knight, causing bursts of screams from the children.

"Do you see? Children are so pure. In their world, good is good, evil is evil. They will sympathize with kind people, hate evil people, and are always so black and white." Quinn pointed to those children and said, the pain in his eyes stung Ye Nan's eyes.

"Do you really have the heart to watch them follow us people who have no future?" Quinn had placed all his hopes on Ye Nan. He only hoped that Ye Nan could take those children away. As for adults, he didn't consider it at all.

"Why is there no future?" Ye Nan's eyes were terrifyingly deep. "Humans are not as fragile as you think. Not only you, but other survivor strongholds will not have no future. Tell you the truth, in the near future, Europe will return to the embrace of the Space-Time Empire."

"How long is the future." Quinn asked in a low voice.

"It may be an hour, or it may be ten years. It mainly depends on the origin of these fire dragons. To tell you the truth, these fire dragons are related to something in the Space-Time Empire. If they are really his descendants, then in the future, you still need to live in peace." Ye Nan said some things, testing Quinn's reaction. He wanted to see how deep the hatred of humans for fire dragons was and whether they could live in peace.

"Live in peace?" Quinn's eyes flashed with anger, flashed with humiliation. "Do you think it is possible? Live in peace, seven hundred million humans in Europe have all died in the mouths of fire dragons. These hatreds cannot be forgotten like this."

"Seven hundred million humans? Did the biochemical crisis not affect Europe? If it didn't affect Europe, why is Europe a piece of desolation, deserts everywhere? Quinn, some things, I know more than you know, just like this play, the so-called Black Knight is actually the White Knight's father." Ye Nan used the play to compare the things in Europe. He wanted to tell Quinn that he was not a fool who didn't know anything.

"Forget about the children's affairs. Living well here, there is no need to leave. Anyway, as long as we survive this period, Europe will return to the embrace of the Space-Time Empire."

After Ye Nan finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind the words the Black Knight said in the play: I am your father. To be continued.
