From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life
Chapter 44 Anger
Looking around, there were quite a few collapsed shacks. The originally barren and chaotic slums looked even worse at this moment. The refugees here were picking up objects on the ground silently and numbly. Some of them were injured, and a woman was sitting on the ground with empty eyes.
The trampled snow mixed with soil turned into a muddy mess. If you look closely, you can find some blood mixed in it.
Tian Yu's hope for a better life for the two siblings in the future was dashed. She walked up to the woman and asked, "What happened here?"
The other party seemed not to have heard her words and remained lifeless.
"What happened here?" Tian Yu walked up to a refugee who was picking up items and asked again stubbornly.
The refugee looked at Tian Yu with a timid expression, but without saying a word, he turned around and hurriedly returned to his leaky shack.
After asking several people, no one was willing to tell Tian Yu what happened, which made her furious. These refugees had lost their homes and were now like numb animals. They didn't care at all about the injustice that happened to them, let alone the life and death of others.
Tian Yu knew that it was not their fault. How could he demand justice or care about others from a group of people who couldn't even get enough food to eat?
Taking a deep breath, the knight's sword appeared in Tian Yu's hand. She walked towards the refugee who had ignored her questions before, and put the sword directly on his neck, watching the other's expression change from shrinking and numbness to horror.
"What happened here?" Tian Yu asked in a deep voice for the last time.
......
The snowflakes that had stopped for half a day began to fall from the sky over Silver Moon City to the ground again. Tian Yu silently waited in line in the queue entering the city.
After using force to intimidate, Tian Yu finally got the answer she wanted. The two siblings were taken away by a group of armed guys. Many children from the slums were also taken away at the same time, but they were sold by their parents or families.
When hunger and poverty become the main theme of life, evil crimes will naturally occur in such days without light.
Tian Yu used his sword to piece together the truth from other people's mouths. In the autumn, someone came to the slums and asked if anyone was willing to sell their relatives. An underage child could be sold at a sky-high price of a whole gold coin, and some people were tempted at that time.
As the weather got colder, many people had trouble making ends meet, so they contacted human trafficking organizations again.
The two siblings were helpless and naturally became the target of some people with ulterior motives. Several refugees from the same hometown decided to sell the two siblings and split the gold coins equally. A distant relative of the two siblings came forward and signed the contract for the sale.
However, they did not expect that there was an extra person named Tian Yu in the shack, so while she was out, they hurriedly contacted the human traffickers who promised to pay two gold coins.
The weapons on Feiner's body were beyond the expectations of the traffickers, and the two men's resistance was also extremely fierce. The traffickers who came to take them away smashed the shack in anger, and several people nearby also suffered.
This is why they were reluctant to tell Tian Yu, because they were also one of the murderers.
After learning the truth, Tian Yu was so angry that her hands were shaking, and she almost wanted to kill those ignorant and shameless refugees immediately, but finally she put down the sword. It was refreshing to take revenge, but if someone died outside the city, it would also get her into trouble. She would make them pay the price in other ways.
Now Tian Yu was in a dilemma again. She was wondering whether she should rescue the two siblings. All people were shameless. Tian Yu felt that she was not a real Knight of Light, or she was just an ordinary person who cherished her life.
If we go to rescue them, there must be a huge organization behind such blatant human trafficking. The class system of Silvermoon City still exists, and human trafficking with contracts is allowed.
She couldn't even rely on the police department to resolve the matter. Her identity was like being in a gray area in Silvermoon City. She had no relatives or friends with the two siblings, and the police might not even accept the case.
Tian Yu found many reasons for herself, but in the end she realized that these were no excuses for her to sit back and do nothing. These two children saved her life. Even if it would get her into trouble, she could not become a cold-hearted ungrateful person.
Facing such a situation for the first time in Silvermoon City gave her a more intuitive understanding of the world.
Here, having no money, no rights, and no right to live in Silvermoon City means losing your home and becoming a beast to be slaughtered.
In the war, many people's lives will be destroyed and they will become numb machines. This is the first time since entering the copy that Tian Yu feels that in addition to survival, she should do something to change the fate of others. At least good people like the two brothers and sisters should not be treated like this by the world.
What else can she do?
Tian Yu got on the crowded rail train heading to Midtown. The scenery outside the window changed, from downtown to Midtown, as if they were separated into two worlds.
Standing at the door of the carriage rental shop, she hired a coachman with a silver coin, and in the shaky carriage, she headed towards the most magnificent upper city area of Silvermoon City.
The token given by Vivian allowed her to easily pass the most stringent inspection on the upper city bridge. At her destination, there stood a magnificent manor, making Tian Yu, who had been living in the slums for a long time, feel as if she were in another world.
She was led into the house by the maid. Vivian, who had not seen her for a long time, ran towards her excitedly. When she saw her face, she hesitated for a moment, then happily took her hand: "If your elemental aura had not changed, I would hardly recognize you."
Vivian poked Tian Yu's face: "Is this the effect of some magic potion?"
"Yes." I haven't seen Vivian for two or three months. She seems to have lost weight. Even with her eyes covered, you can still see the dark circles under her eyes. I guess as a representative of the Knowledge Highland, she must have experienced some difficulties that she didn't understand in the past few months.
Weiwei asked someone to prepare dinner and send it to her small living room. She sat opposite Tian Yu, looked at her expression and asked, "Although I really want to catch up with you, from your expression I can see that you may have encountered something bad."
"Will you tell me, Anna?" Vivian asked softly, as if she was always so gentle and powerful.
"I'm in some trouble. I know this is not a good thing, but I want to seek the Duke's help." Tian Yu stated his purpose.
"As a friend, I don't want to cause you any trouble..." Tian Yu had a great psychological struggle before arriving. She provided the Duke with clues about the weapons. Now coming to seek help was like an exchange, but because she was a friend of Vivian, she always tried her best not to ask for help.
"No, you seem to have forgotten that friends help and trouble each other." Vivian shook her head, trying to dispel Tian Yu's concerns, "You have helped us a lot, haven't you?"
Tian Yu looked into Vivian's eyes. She seemed to know something between her and the Duke. Just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness Vivian, His Royal Highness the Duke has returned, and he wants to meet the Excellency who came to visit today."
