Ya suddenly looked up and saw the white bird. The white bird cried a few times and then flew towards the distant city.
"Hila... what are you going to do?"
Meanwhile, little Hina, nestled in Ya's arms, cried, "I want to go find my dad... Waaah!"
Seeing this, Ya also hesitated.
What just happened might still be playing out inside the city.
Taking a little girl into the city by myself might really be very dangerous.
But... this is the child's wish.
"Let me take you to find your father."
"Huh? Really?"
"Of course it's true. Let me take you to find your father, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Kohina tilted her head and looked at Yagami Takeshi, not even having time to wipe away her tears.
"Why...why are you helping me? I don't even know you."
"Well...aren't we acquaintances now? And if I want to help you, do I need any reason?"
Yashiro stood up abruptly and reached out his hand to Kohina.
"Let's go, let's go find your father together."
Kohina hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and took Yato Takeshi's large hand. The two of them then walked together into the city.
In the outer area, a group of children were patiently waiting.
Principal Matsuzaki is very old, and both teachers have passed away.
Shisa is now the backbone of this group of children.
But like all the other children, Shisa could only wait quietly.
But these children keenly sensed that something was about to happen in the city.
A dark cloud is hanging over the world.
Soon, a torrential downpour began.
Inside the classroom, all the children were quiet and made no sound.
Outside, the rain was pouring down.
"I said……"
In the end, it was Fu Ning who broke the oppressive silence.
"Mr. Li Xiang and Mr. Ya De Meng, neither of them brought umbrellas... Should we go and bring them some?"
The other children looked at Funing, then turned to look at Hisa.
Everyone knows that the so-called umbrella delivery is just an excuse.
These children actually said they wanted to go find Li Xiang and Shi Demeng.
Shisa pondered this, because she had promised Mr. Yashiro that she would take good care of these children.
But seeing the expectant looks in the children's eyes, Shisa really couldn't refuse.
And she herself was also very worried.
She was worried about both teachers, as well as Hisa and even Bina.
So, she made her final decision.
"Let's go and bring them umbrellas! It's raining so hard, it wouldn't be good if the teachers got wet."
"Great! Let's go now!"
The children cheered and then began rummaging through the warehouse for umbrellas.
All sorts of umbrellas were donated by kind-hearted people in the past, and many of them are already tattered and broken.
Shisa suddenly stood on the table and began speaking loudly to her other classmates.
"Everyone must listen to me from now on and not act alone to prevent getting separated!"
And so, a group of children, carrying umbrellas, marched into the city in a grand procession.
These children weren't even as tall as Da Lixiang and Shi Demeng's waists, yet they were saying they wanted to bring umbrellas to the two teachers.
Small body, great strength.
Chapter 76 The cries of countless little girls are a question to humanity.
The streets were a mess.
The rioting crowds were looting, vandalizing, and burning everywhere. Furthermore, because Hiruko Kagetane had captured many children and reinjected them with the Gastrea virus, the Gastrea that had been transformed into them were causing chaos in the city.
Although the auxiliary forces acted swiftly and brought the newly emerged Gastrea under control, the citizens had completely gone mad and had even launched an attack on the auxiliary forces.
After purifying the gastritis virus from the children who had been turned into gastrulators, Li Xiang went out onto the street to offer his help.
However, when Li Xiang arrived on the street, he witnessed a scene of despair once again.
When the Gastrea attacked, the citizens scrambled to escape.
Now that Gastrea is gone, these people have turned their attention back to their own kind.
Li Xiang saw these people attacking the auxiliary troops and innocent children on the road.
Why are those children still being harmed when they are clearly no longer the cursed children?
Li Xiang didn't understand.
"Why, why do you have to hurt these children!"
Li Xiang rushed forward and stood in front of the crowd, protecting the children who were being attacked by the citizens behind him.
Rain lashed his face, and this time, even his usually resolute expression revealed helplessness and doubt.
Why are you hurting these children?!
Li Xiang roared at the adults in the heavy rain.
The group of people exchanged glances, and after confirming that Li Xiangzhi was alone, they mustered their courage and charged towards him menacingly.
"Because they are the cursed children!"
"These monsters will kill us, and you're protecting them?"
"You're a monster too, aren't you? Wearing those weird clothes, you must be an accomplice of those monsters!"
"Kill him! Kill these monsters!"
These people have been blinded by anger and can no longer distinguish right from wrong.
In reality, they never knew right from wrong from the start; otherwise, children in this world wouldn't have to endure such suffering.
Li Xiang was asking himself... had he trusted the people in this world too much?
Should I have used absolute power to seize control of the world from the very beginning, then used strong policies to protect the children and change the people of the world?
Did I cause these things to happen because I trusted people in this world too much?
With this question in mind, Li Xiang threw a punch, knocking down the first crazed citizen who rushed at him.
Immediately, Li Xiang pulled out his Victory Hyper gun and fired hypnotic bullets wildly at the crowd.
Even after a magazine of 50 rounds was used up, he still subconsciously pulled the trigger to fire.
A bird's chirp brought Li Xiang back to his senses.
Li Xiang then wiped the rain off his face, turned around to help the children up from the ground, and prepared to take them to a safe place.
"It's alright everyone, everything's alright now. I'll take you to a safe place."
But the little girls looked at Li Xiang with fear, huddling together tightly.
Seeing this, Li Xiang could only stop and slowly withdraw his outstretched hand.
These children are afraid of him.
I'm afraid of all adults.
Because of these adults, they were hurt.
Li Xiang wanted to take them away from here because the streets were dangerous now, and if these children stayed, those beasts would come back.
However, these children have already been hurt, they don't trust Li Xiang at all, and it's impossible for them to leave with Li Xiang.
Li Xiang was caught in a dilemma.
Just then, a white bird landed in front of the children.
The white birds chirped softly.
The children looked at the white bird and then lowered their guard a little.
"Chirp, chirp!"
The white bird continued to sing, as if telling the children: Trust this person, let's leave this place together.
Seeing this, Li Xiang once again reached out his hand to the children.
"Are you... willing to trust me and let me take you away from here?"
The children looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.
Li Xiang waited patiently, and the children did not disappoint him, nodding in agreement.
"Okay, big brother...we believe you..."
A throwing knife came flying and stabbed at a child.
The white bird reacted first, flapping its wings and flying into the air to block the flying knife.
For a moment, Li Xiang and the children were stunned.
He stared blankly as a sharp knife pierced the white bird's body.
