The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Anyone who knows Ruan Mianmian knows that although she has experienced many hardships and appeared cynical for a time, her true nature is absolutely kind and gentle.

When she encounters pitiful elderly and children, she will not hesitate to lend a helping hand. When she meets the respectable revolutionary predecessors who once created the motherland, she will send them supplies like crazy. She has no regrets even if she is burdened with hundreds of billions of debts.

But at this moment, facing a group of children, she was able to quickly issue such an inhumane order.

This is really so unlike Ruan Mianmian.

Professor Huang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Wouldn't that be too heartless?" Although some children are bad, there must also be good ones.

Most importantly, those were all children who were only a few years old.

They come from a time of peace and are used to cherishing children, so they simply cannot instantly adapt to the current environment.

Ruan Mianmian shook her head: "How can this be considered heartless? Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

Tang You asked, "Those are children, they're not enemies. Have you made up your mind?"

Besides the children waiting at the South Gate now, there will be other children from Kimchi Country and Chrysanthemum Country in the future, and there should be innocent ones among them.

"I've made up my mind," Ruan Mianmian replied decisively. "Don't even mention those kids being ruthless. Even if they haven't done anything wrong, as long as their family members have killed our people, I won't show any mercy."

"It's up to you to decide." Tang You patted Ruan Mianmian's shoulder and didn't try to persuade her any further.

To her, anyone who threatens her comrades or the people she protects is a threat, and she is unlikely to be soft-hearted.

However, she feared that Ruan Mianmian had only given the order in a fit of anger, and that she would regret it later, which would have a psychological impact on her.

When Professor Huang and Professor Zhao saw that Tang You didn't say anything more, they remained silent.

Yuan Zhiling looked at Ruan Mianmian with some surprise and couldn't help but say, "Actually, there are also some children who haven't done anything bad..."

Ruan Mianmian could tell that although the two professors didn't object to her opinion, they must have felt somewhat reluctant. Hearing Yuan Zhiling say this, she replied:

“When I was a teenager, I watched an animated film called Grave of the Fireflies. I don’t know if you have seen it. When I saw how hard the two main siblings were living, I cried. As I cried, I thought about the children of our country in the same era, and all my sadness and tears disappeared at once.”

She chuckled self-deprecatingly at this point, “For many people, this movie is probably an anti-war film, with a touch of warmth. But what I think about is that their parents and adult relatives were invading my motherland. They had worries about not having enough to eat or wear, but they were still alive, while many children of my motherland at that time were reduced to ashes, not even deserving of such worries. So, I really, really am not sad at all. I really don’t like that movie.”

As she said this, she put away her self-deprecating smile and said seriously, "In short, to me, the descendants of invaders, regardless of whether they also live a difficult life, must have original sin."

Perhaps her worldview is different from that of ordinary people, and perhaps people will criticize her for saying these things, but these are her true thoughts.

Yuan Zhiling's eyes flickered, but her gaze quickly hardened: "You're right. We've been too kind and too soft-hearted."

Upon hearing this, the reluctance on Professor Huang and Professor Zhao's faces disappeared.

Yes, even if you have your reasons, when you try to invade and kill others, you are the enemy.

Professor Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Mianmian is right. They are the aggressors, but they are unwilling to apologize, so they make this so-called anti-war film. As for us, we are the invaded party. We sacrificed generations and tens of millions of people to avoid being subjugated and exterminated. We don't need to watch this kind of bullshit anti-war film at all."

Ruan Mianmian nodded with a smile: "That's right."

To resist aggression, all we need to do is forge ahead.

At that moment, Gu Shi's voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie: "Those children are getting close to the glass door, and they're kneeling down begging for food and water."

Ruan Mianmian immediately looked at the surveillance camera at the south gate and saw that the group of thin, ragged children, who looked like beggars, were indeed kneeling in front of the gate. She said, "Let them kneel a little further away. Also, close the large rolling gate."

Upon hearing the order, Gu Shi immediately stepped forward and pressed the switch on the large rolling door.

The large roller shutter slowly closed.

Upon seeing this, the children in front of the south gate immediately crawled over on their knees. The first few knelt directly beneath the large rolling gate, crying and kowtowing as they pleaded, "Please, give us some food!"

"I'm so hungry, please give us something to eat."

"I'm so thirsty, I'm dying, please let me have a full meal before I die."

They looked so pitiful; it was truly heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see.

If such a scene were posted online, this shopping mall would definitely be subjected to a barrage of criticism from netizens all over the world.

What Ruan Mianmian saw was moral blackmail, and she frowned: "Drive them away."

No wonder the island nation sank, yet the people of Taiwan were able to escape with so many children and survive, even seizing a piece of land.

It seems that this kind of moral blackmail is very effective.

Unfortunately, when faced with them, she decided to act without morals, so that they would have no way to blackmail her.

After giving the order, Ruan Mianmian didn't look at the children anymore, but asked Yuan Zhiling, "How is the environment at the base you're currently managing? Also, have you made contact with neighboring cities?"

“My comrades and I, along with some public officials, have established a collective household. The safety situation is acceptable, but there are too many elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people, and supplies are relatively scarce. As for neighboring cities, we have sent people out in different directions and made contact, but they are far away, and it takes a long time to make contact. Moreover, we all have a large number of people in poor health who cannot relocate and gather together, so we are currently isolated from each other,” Yuan Zhiling replied.

The communication satellites in the sky are still there, but the ground base stations have been mostly destroyed, so it is difficult to make communication as convenient as it was before the apocalypse.

Ruan Mianmian frowned: "This is rather tricky."

Professor Huang asked, "Radio communication shouldn't be a problem, right?"

“It is indeed possible. But the floods that lasted for almost a month ruined everything. Even if we find the machine, we'll need the batteries, so it's going to be very difficult,” Yuan Zhiling said with a wry smile.

After assessing the weapons in the mall, Ruan Mianmian said to Yuan Zhiling, "How about this, let's drive away the people from Chrysanthemum Country and Kimchi Country first?"

How can you allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch?

Old Zhao's words make sense.

The thought of a group of malicious people from the Chrysanthemum Country and the Kimchi Country living near her home made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Behind the Chrysanthemum Country and the Kimchi Country lies the sea. If you drive them away, they will return to the sea.

Yuan Zhiling's eyes lit up: "Can we buy weapons at the mall?"

“There are some.” Ruan Mianmian nodded slightly.
