Road to Peace

Hearing that voice, Yang Shen was startled, let the other party pull him, and raised his head to look at the other party's face calmly.

Sure enough, it was an acquaintance.

He knew immediately what he had met and where they were going.

In fact, before he escaped from the silver-blue sea area and encountered a deep-sea storm on the other side of the chaotic sea, and was crushed to pieces, he also hurriedly walked on the same road with his companions countless times like this when the mermaids had no time to look after him. to the same place.

Carefully avoiding the path where sharks might appear, they passed through a narrow underwater canyon—the most cramped place there even required them to pass sideways and hold their breath—but in the end, nothing suddenly opened up in front of them.

It's a small natural cave that fishes and shrimps don't want to patronize. At this moment, more than a dozen human slaves are squeezed into it. Either you touched my leg, or I bumped into your shoulder, but they didn't care.

At a glance, they are all young and middle-aged men, and there are no women, children or old people.

When they saw Yang Shen and the man who brought him in, they lowered their voices and greeted them like a frightened bird, "Bub, you're late... who is this?" The last question brought obvious panic.

Babu lowered his body, waved his hands to signal him not to get excited, and then squatted down, "New here, give the signal right, everyone is here?"

The person who asked the question did not calm down, and even raised his voice a little out of composure, "It may not be safe to match the password! Who knows if I heard it by accident, if those man-eating sharks found out, we would all be scared." It's over! It's over!"

Yang Shen felt a little uncomfortable. These are actually his acquaintances, although they don't know him now, and the one in front of him who was screaming hysterically even had a good friendship with him in the past.

He clearly remembered that although he was also afraid of sharks in the past, he was by no means so nervous. It has only been a long time before he turned into this appearance.

Looking at the other people in the cave, their complexions were not much better. They looked at him full of vigilance and suspicion. The reason why he hasn't been driven out yet is probably because the Babu who brought him in is still quite prestigious. for the sake.

Babu was a little impatient, "Okay, Cheng! If you keep shouting like this, we will really be doomed!"

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Yang Shen, as if he had time to look him up and down at this moment, and asked, "Who is your guide?"

Yang Shen lowered his eyelashes, not wanting to make the emotion in his eyes too obvious, and said softly, "Yang Shen."

He didn't have any guides. To explain how he knew the code and how he knew that there was a secret meeting among human slaves, he could only use his own name.

An uncontrollable sense of absurdity surged up in my heart.

There was a commotion in the crowd when they heard this, and strange expressions appeared on everyone's faces. Cheng, who was full of hostility towards him just now, froze for a moment when he heard the name, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears.

"That kid...why do you have to...you're so stupid!"

This time no one stopped him, and even the rest of the people began to have red circles. Babu thumped the ground fiercely and said viciously: "Okay, I'm not here to mourn that stupid boy today, newcomer, you, go there go aside."

Yang Shen obediently moved to a place and huddled with the group of people. They didn't reject him anymore, but they seemed unwilling to look at him too much.

"I've heard the news that the Blue Emperor really plans to hold a ceremony with our General Jansern and formally marry Utopia." Someone said.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of more than a dozen people lit up, full of hope.

"So, is it true that there will be no more wars this time?"

"There has been a truce for more than ten days."

"Then we..." The speaker was so excited that his lips were trembling, "After General Jansern and the Blue Emperor complete the ceremony, don't we need to be slaves anymore, and we can all go to Utopia, go, to see the sun?"

"If there is a truce, we must be sent back to land, otherwise, General Jansern will definitely not agree."

"That's right, it's hard to say anything else, but the mermaids value their partners so much, if the general and the blue emperor complete the ceremony, we will definitely be free."

"There is also President Oston, the president will not ignore us, he has been working hard for the freedom of all mankind, hasn't he?"

"That's great, I'll tell Li Wei and Little Miya later!"

The tense and oppressive atmosphere when they came in just now was swept away, and people talked a lot, and they couldn't do without the words General Jansern, Blue Emperor, Ceremony, President, Freedom, etc., as if they had seen the sky light on the sea.

In fact, none of them knew what sunshine looked like.

Despite this, the longing shown on everyone's faces is so real and strong, full of boundless expectations.

Cheng, who had been rubbing his eyes, touched his face, and murmured: "Yang Shen, why can't he think about it? I kept telling him, wait a little longer, wait a little longer, the president and the general will definitely come to rescue us." .But he just didn’t listen, and he must escape by himself. Now...he can’t see it anymore.”

Yang Shen, who had been silently huddling in a corner and listening to other people's cheerful discussions, looked at Cheng's words helplessly, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.

In fact, what Cheng said was not entirely wrong, he chose to flee alone and fight alone, but now that he thinks about it, it is nothing but despair and impulsiveness, it is indeed not a wise thing.

But these people...

This secret meeting was organized by some human slaves in the sea who longed for freedom. When Yang Shen first joined, he also thought that if all the existing slaves in the sea were united, it would be a big force.

But he soon discovered that what they were doing, apart from sharing their own information, was blindly comforting and waiting for each other, waiting to be rescued.

They longed for Auston, they yearned for Jan Seen, and even imagined that Lan Suyuan let them go in a fit of convulsion, but no one dared to say that they resisted and tried.

They have been domesticated for too many years, and they know better than anyone else the disparity in strength between humans and mermaids, so the fighting spirit of these people has long been wiped out.

Yang Shen knew that this was actually their normal state, while he himself, as Cheng complained, was a different kind.

But at this moment, he really hopes to be happy with them. He really hopes that the fact is as they expected. Lan Suyuan and Jan Seen will complete the ceremony, and their god of war and the president will let them leave the deep sea to live in the sun.

But no one knows better than him that these are all fake.

What's more cruel is that even if human beings are truly free one day, it will not be the turn of these slaves who are struggling on the bottom of the sea.

He and they will all be outcasts.

But at this moment, he couldn't bear to break their dreams.

Auston and Lan Suyuan...and Jan Seen...those mermaids singing and playing on the rocks...Yan Sewei, who was waiting for his younger brother to live...Shel, who risked his life to save him... Those in front of me who are immersed in illusory joy, friends.

Yang Shen secretly clenched his fists until his veins were exposed, and the distant call in his heart seemed to become intense again.

He needs to master more information, he needs a clearer mind and a stronger body, he needs strong mental strength and a calm and cautious decision to kill, he must find a new path.

"Go to the chaotic sea."

At this moment, he heard a voice that didn't belong to him say in his mind.

The author has something to say:
