What was more terrifying was that wherever they went, such cruelty was rampant and omnipresent.
The once flourishing civilization collapsed in an instant; all rules suitable for communal human existence had disappeared, and the world had reverted to the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and extreme acts, which were just the tip of the iceberg in this gruesome reality.
As a boy, he had read articles saying this was a world where people ate each other.
Tang Zelin sometimes thought that the person who wrote that sentence must have been heartbroken by the unequal state of exploitation and enslavement among people.
He didn’t know whether the author had witnessed such scenes firsthand.
Every time he saw such biting and tearing, he felt a dull pain in his flesh and bones.
Though it was the ugliest display of humanity, he couldn’t even muster anger, filled instead with a pervasive sorrow.
Qu Guo’an asked him what exactly he had gone through.
He didn’t know how to explain it to him.
Back in his own country, on his own land, wherever he looked, people were struggling to resist the cruelty of nature, enduring hardship yet still harboring hope.
Climbing out from the icy, snow-covered lands and returning to a civilized human society, Tang Zelin didn’t know how to describe to Qu Guo’an the feelings deep in his heart.
On the border, there had already been instances of people selling the starving and distressed population to foreign lands in exchange for other resources, and their recent mission was to combat such networks.
The government, with utmost speed and effort, was severing these enormously wicked criminal acts, sparing no effort in summoning the most elite warriors from various military districts to the border areas, risking their lives and honoring their faith to stand as the first, most formidable barrier for the ordinary people living on this land.
The government’s stance was extraordinarily firm; no matter what, they would not allow the land of China under its control to become a cannibalistic battleground like some regions abroad.
Tang Zelin said mildly, “Qu, sometimes I think, it’s damn hard for people to just live peacefully.”
Hearing this, Qu Guo’an felt touched, “Yes, look at our city C, it’s either pouring rain or bursting floods, so many people have died. I’ve been in the army for many years and haven’t seen so many dead before. You think there won’t be any more major disasters, do you?”
Tang Zelin replied, “Disasters don’t scare us as long as we are united, we can move mountains.” He paused for a few seconds, then added, “I believe we can definitely survive this disaster.”
Seeing that he still did not want to elaborate, Qu Guo’an didn’t press further but instead jested with a light tone, “When I see you chasing your wife so hard, I can predict our good days ahead just by counting on my fingers.”
Tang Zelin chuckled softly; the coldness in the depths of his dark pupils gradually dissipated, slowly replaced by a hint of warmth.
He couldn’t keep thinking about cruel things. Now, in city C, in his homeland, everything was still operating in an orderly manner; everyone, from the top down, was working hard. This was the responsibility he now bore by staying here.
“The central government will devise strategies for the chaotic places outside, here in city C, as long as we can hold our ground, we will never fall to that extent,” Tang Zelin turned over and said.
Qu Guo’an closed his eyes and responded, “You’re right, city C is pretty good now.”
“Time to sleep.”

“Who goes to bed this early?”
“Yeah, I have to go see my little wife tomorrow morning,” someone said unabashedly.
From next to him came a disdainful curse, Tang Zelin, eyes closed, smiled faintly.
