Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

Zhang Yi looked down at the boy with stars in his eyes.

"Richie, are you willing to go to the royal city with me?"

He still had a lot to ask Richie.

Richie jumped up excitedly.

"Great! I do, of course I do! It's my honor to serve the Hero!"

Seeing this, the other children also clamored to go with Zhang Yi, but were finally rejected by Zhang Yi.

He didn't want to have too much instability around him.

Zhang Yi, along with Richie and Li Changgong, took off into the air and flew towards the royal city.

He was not in a hurry to travel, but instead scanned the entire world in the sky.

This is a huge and beautiful world, covered with green grass and tall trees everywhere. Shepherds are grazing cattle and sheep on the grass. The breeze blows, and the forest rustles, just like in a fairy tale.

In the distance, farmers were plowing the fields that were divided into neat pieces.

The people here don't seem to have any worries. They always have smiles on their faces and don't look hungry. Even the old farmers in the fields are always talking and laughing when they rest.

It’s just that Zhang Yi always felt that something was strange, but he couldn’t tell what it was.

Richie was flying in the sky with Zhang Yi. He clenched his fists excitedly and couldn't stop smiling.

Zhang Yi thought of something and asked, "Richie, you're going to the royal city with me. Do you need to report to your parents?"

"Hey?"

Richie looked at Zhang Yi in surprise.

"Parents? What parents?"

Zhang Yi: "..."

How can humans speak such a fresh and refined language?

Zhang Yi looked at Richie, and he couldn't sense any fake human aura from him.

This is very strange. He firmly believes that this world is fictional and the people here are also fictional.

But Richie, and the other children, felt too real.

Zhang Yi smiled and asked, "You're talking about your parents. You're going to the royal city, so far away from home. If you don't tell them, they'll be worried, right?"

"what?"

Richie's face was full of an expression of confusion.

"What... Mom and Dad? What is that?"

He scratched his little head, looking puzzled.

Zhang Yi was completely stunned.

Did all the people in this world come out from cracks in the rocks?

Li Changgong added, "Those are the people who gave birth to you and raised you! Where are they?"

Richie suddenly realized it at this moment.

"Oh, you mean them! They... probably work in the village. Who knows what they do."

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows.

"You are so filial to me!"

Richie added, "But it was the Holy Mercy Institute that raised me! The aunties and uncles there were so kind to me!"

Zhang Yi was silent for a moment.

"Are you an orphan?"

"What is an orphan?"

Zhang Yi even felt a little bit sorry.

It was Li Changgong who said sharply, "It means their parents died, and then they were sent to a place to be raised. Children there have no parents."

Richie's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly realized, "Ah, I understand! Two heroes, you must have come from another world, so you don't understand the situation here!"

"In our country of Helen, there is no such thing as parents."

He said something with confidence that almost drove Zhang Yi crazy.

Richie continued, "Every baby born in Helen Country is sent to the Holy Mercy Institute for unified upbringing. They are trained according to their talents and given different roles when they grow up."

"Adults will live together, and then the suitable ones will be asked to have children. However, the kingdom will not force anyone to choose a partner! Instead, for the continuation of the kingdom, when you reach a certain age, you must find someone else to have children."

"They are not parents, but only providers of seeds. The kingdom is responsible for nurturing the next generation."
