Chapter 2744 The lair where demons breed!
The breakfast ended in ten minutes, and the children put on epidemic prevention suits that were said to be able to isolate bacteria, viruses and demons, gathered in class, ready to enter the devastated and demon-swalking town again.
This was also the first time that Li Yao saw the "purification troops" stationed next to the camp through Thangka's eyes, and saw teams of soldiers wearing crystal armor, fully armed soldiers, and supersonic battle shuttles whizzing past their heads from time to time, as well as a floating battle fort like a black mountain floating above the camp, with black gun barrels and crackling magnetic tracks monitoring and suppressing the entire city ruins.
At the same time, Li Yao also sensed that among the thousands of children, many of them were breathing slightly rapidly and their uneven heartbeat.
"I feel more and more that there is something wrong with this 'ultimate test'."
Li Yao said lightly, "Last night, you told me that because you just occupied the Black Fort Star and were seriously insufficient, you "student soldiers" were put into actual combat and took the graduation exam at the same time - this is consistent with the information I received before. In my information, your troops are indeed extremely scarce.
"However, in the absence of troops, there is a large purifying force stationed by the side, and I have been watching you for seven days without doing anything. This is too... a waste of precious troops, right?
"You know, the Imperial Army has occupied the Thousand Earth Realm for several years. This is a transportation hub on the front line. The Imperial people spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Black Fort Star. There are crisscrossing castles, secret passages and military arsenals. Even if you occupy all the star ports and important ground facilities, who can ensure that there are no scattered imperial resisters hidden underground? When this tight joint is needed, every soldier wishes to break it into two halves. Such a purifying force with a strong combat power has no reason not to engage in searching and strangling, but he will accompany you little guys to play boring games in the safe area.
"Even if the commanders of the purification unit want to select new people, there is no need to station the entire unit here. Send some commanders of the troops and platoon-level grassroots commanders, which is enough.
"So, if this purification force is not just a simple 'on-watching', then they must be on guard or on guard against something, right?"
Thangka looked at the murderous sword and halberd jungle, the garrison of the purifying troops, and said in confusion: "The entire Thick Earth Realm has returned to the embrace of the gods. It is impossible for the imperial people to attack in a while. Even if they attack, there seems to be nothing particularly valuable here. It is worth mobilizing troops to protect and alert!"
"That's right, I thought about it and didn't think that this purification force was guarding against the Imperial Army. There seemed to be only one answer."
Li Yao said calmly, "They are you who are guarding and alert to them."
"Me, us?"
Thangka couldn't believe it, and even felt extremely aggrieved, "Why? We are future purifiers, I dream of becoming one of them!"
"This is probably the problem."
Li Yao sighed, "Because as far as I know, ordinary saint alliances rarely 'dream', and the purifier's requirements are only higher than those of ordinary saint alliances. How can we allow unstable factors that dream casually penetrate into it?"
"This is the professional requirement of the purifier!"
Thangka's emotions were once again like the sea sweeping by a strong wind, and were about to cause waves. "We must have certain emotions and thoughts, that is, the ability to dream, in order to identify dangerous goods!"
"No, you are wrong. As long as there is a sufficiently detailed list of dangerous goods and a description of dangerous goods, 99% of dangerous goods can be identified by cold procedures."
Li Yao said coldly, "The purifier does not need to know what a 'work of art' is. As long as you see a 'colorful ball of pictures' and destroy it, isn't it very convenient and reliable? Taking a step back, even if you really need the so-called purifiers that "have delicate emotions and keen thinking", there is no need to be too many. Such a high-level army is responsible for 1% of the dangerous goods that are difficult to identify.
"You have thousands of people here. I believe they will not be the only graduates in the "Sacred Light Academy" who have received the ultimate test. There must be similar tests elsewhere, right? There is too many, so there is no need for this."
Although he had practiced emotional control for a night last night, Thangka's breathing became rapid unconsciously, and two balls of gradually dimming flames appeared in front of him.
"What do you want to say?"
Thangka murmured, "What do you mean? This is not our graduation exam, nor is the purification army selecting newcomers, so what is that!"
"I don't know, and more information is needed to proceed with the next analysis."
Li Yao said, "I only know that most of the thousands of children here, like you, have strong emotions and sharp thoughts. Even if they are dormant in your body, I can feel the difference between them and ordinary Saint Alliance members. If ordinary Saint Alliance members are like an ice lake, then the ice layer in your mind is making a "crack crack" sound.
"It's not just you, but all the children. The 'icle' in your mind is cracking, something is surging uncontrollably, and it is like the tender buds that break through when spring is blooming. Your...humanity is awakening, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's not surprising to think about it-in the past ten years, you have lived on a monotonous starship, facing the silver-white four walls, receiving the most rigorous training, and compressing all desires and thoughts to the limit, like springs compressed to the limit.
"But one day, you were placed on a habitable planet and faced with an imperial town with abundant supplies. Although this town was attacked by war, your number was not large after all. The remaining supplies were enough for you to release your nature, unscrupulously, and play happily for seven days and seven nights.
"In these seven days and seven nights, you are the masters of this city, you can do whatever small moves you want. All the adults, the mentors and soldiers left you far away, just watching silently - what is this? It's like throwing a person who has been hungry for three days and three nights into a steaming buffet restaurant and letting him do whatever he wants!
"If that's how to test the purifier, I have to say that such a test is too wasteful and too complicated."
Thangka was silent for a long time.
"I……"
He whimpered silently, "I want to be a purifier, I dream of it!"
"Don't be excited, the more excited you are, the further you are from the dream of the purifier."
Li Yao released a warm current to soothe the boy's violent trembling nerves, "The only good news is that you are not the most excited, excited, and "abnormal" among the thousands of children. In fact, after practicing the tips I taught you, your performance is still quite calm, and others are even worse than you!
"I originally thought that you were the only 'anomian' who had such rich thoughts and delicate emotions, but I happened to be hit by it. Now it seems that everyone is the same. You thousands of people are very likely to be screened according to some standard, or..."
“Or what?”
Thangka asked.
"It's nothing, let's go and see."
Li Yao originally wanted to say that these thousands of children who are rich in thought and delicate in emotions may not be "produced" with some standard.
After thinking about it, before there is no conclusive evidence, don’t say such words randomly, so as not to disturb the little guy’s mind and make him even more lost.
Under the leadership of the squad leader, the children of Thangka, once again rode a crystal chariot driven by the instructor, to the edge of the town and hike into their own purification area.
I don’t know if it was because of Li Yao’s psychological suggestion, but Thangka did feel that everyone is a little weird today, unlike yesterday.
When they entered the city yesterday, most of them were like cold machinery, just following the steps to perform purification tasks.
But today, their eyes, their breathing, the trembling of their face muscles, their rather unnatural gait…
Thangka thought for a long time before she knew how to describe the weirdness of her classmates.
Everyone is like them, looking forward to the town in front of them, and fearing the town in front of them, or the self in their hearts.
Crossing the dancing statue that was shaken into pieces yesterday, they reset the deeper assembly point, a colorful three-story building with a small and exquisite yard with a carousel and slide.
"here it is……"
Thangka's eyes were like glue, tightly clinging to everything he saw, "A kindergarten, where the imperial people cultivate descendants, is the same as our nursery?"
"Yes."
Li Yao said, "This is the 'pal tree', which means that all the children have stained their hands with colorful pigments and pressed them on the snow-white walls, just like leaves of big trees.
"That's a carousel. After the children sat on it, the teacher pushed it slowly next to me. Oh, this carousel seems to be able to sing.
"This cloth bag can put the children's feet in it, and then the children will jump around with the cloth bag, competing for who will jump farther and faster."
"……I do not understand."
Thangka said, "What kind of abilities can such a clumsy training be trained?"
"No training is possible."
Li Yao said, "It's just about finding happiness."
"They seem to be really happy."
Thangka's eyes passed through the empty kindergarten and projected onto the opposite wall. There were hundreds of children's paintings on the wall, using the most brilliant colors and the most clumsy techniques to capture the happiest moments and the most childish hope.
"Yeah, I think they have a reason to be happy."
Li Yao explained, "The first batch of colonists who traveled thousands of miles to the front line to participate in planet reconstruction were mostly bankrupt and even slaves who were desperate in their hometowns. They were at the bottom of the original society, so their children were naturally incapable of being even qualified to go to kindergartens.
"Only by taking risks here, a new paradise of hope, their children have the opportunity to live a life that they would never dream of, as happy as you see, I think, this is why the colonists named the city "Xinle City"?
"It's a pity that these colonists have not considered the risks, or they have no choice, and this is the only place of hope.
"Now, where are the kids in this kindergarten?"
"I, I don't know."
Thangka suddenly didn't dare to look at everything around him, especially the colorful tree of hope that the children took randomly with their palms. He said, "There was no large-scale firefight in the city. The children should be fine, but were sent to the rear-"
"Go to receive purification?"
Li Yao asked.
Somehow, Thangka didn't even have the courage to answer "yes". The word "purification" flowed with magma and venom, which hurt his soul hard.
Thangka was silent, Li Yao was silent, and in silence, he heard the teenagers around him—or the older children—rather, the rapid breathing and heavy heartbeats.
"Level 1 Dangerous Area!"
The squad leader shouted at the top of his voice, "This is the nest where the demons breed. Immediately, completely purify this place!"
No one was moving, and all the "Sons of the Holy Light" stood silently, either in a trance, in deep thought, or in confusion, looking at everything around him, looking at another human way of life.
"What are you still standing there? Have you heard it?"
The squad leader raised his voice, and his voice became more and more harsh, "Purify, purify, purify everything here!"
"ah!"
Deputy squad leader Liao Meng roared, and pale beads of sweat rolled down his dark face. His expression was extremely ferocious. He picked up a flamethrower and shot at the children's palm drawings, toys and carousels.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
