Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Lin Shigong thought for a moment and said:

"We have explored the original sites of various underground cities, and there are currently about seventy of them where humans still live."

"Relying on drilling robots to get close and secretly listen in to obtain their intelligence."

"Living conditions... well, let's just say the people are living in abject poverty."

At the beginning of the apocalypse, due to the limited capacity of underground cities in various countries, only the elites and their families could enter them.

As for ordinary people, they either have to work like cattle and horses to participate in the construction, or they have to wait to die outside.

Unlike the Great Xia, which is known for its infrastructure development, they don't possess the capability for both comprehensive and rapid construction.

To put it bluntly, some countries were able to build and design underground cities entirely because the Great Xia and a few leading countries gave them these resources to avoid disputes and prevent them from resorting to desperate measures.

At this moment, these powerful figures are locked underground. In some countries, the construction of underground cities is only about 30% complete, which means they are just a framework.

Under such circumstances, it's no wonder that living conditions can be good.

Fortunately, supplies were well prepared, so there was no situation of cannibalism, but because they could not go out, they had to cut back on food and clothing.

The situation where some people at the bottom of society live worse than dogs is now unavoidable.

Some underground cities have even become completely corrupt, with people living in a drunken stupor and not treating others like human beings.

In short, the fate of these powerful and wealthy individuals is the worst retribution they have ever suffered, and they deserve to die.

The fact that Daxia did not send them directly to meet God is already a manifestation of humanitarianism.

Moreover, forgiving them is God's business. All Da Xia needs to do is send them to see God, and at most, repent a little more.

This is the correct way to use it.

Upon hearing Lin Shigong recount these previously unknown events, Fendona, Kyle, and the others turned their curious gazes toward him.

Seeing this, Lin Mo knew it wasn't appropriate to discuss the matter further, so he didn't ask any more questions and immediately changed the subject, asking about the current situation of Tianxiong Underground City.

The group returned to the World Tree and entered the underground passage leading to Tianxiong City.

Tianxiong City was attacked by the earth-burrowing dragon, and the damage was no less than that of Tianyong City.

After more than six months of reconstruction, the subsidence area has now been reinforced, and the huge underground hole created by the drilling dragon has been transformed into a logistics channel or expanded into an urban area.

One of the most severely damaged areas was not completely sealed off, but rather partially preserved.

The broken alloy support beams, the protective layer torn by claws, and the impact marks on the wall that were several meters deep were all isolated by the transparent protective shield.

A black stone tablet stands nearby, engraved with the names of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

Lin Mo stood in front of the stone tablet for a while before continuing forward.

Lin Shigong didn't say much here, only speaking softly:

"We left this area not to let the people live in fear, but to remind future generations that this city was saved not because of good luck, but because of heroes like them."

As we left the memorial area, the area gradually became more lively.

Tianxiong City did not organize any welcoming activities, but Lin Mo and his group were simply too conspicuous.

Grom the centaur towered above the crowd, Thorin's beard and elven ears and noble bearing were highly distinctive, not to mention Kael'thas, dressed in pristine white religious robes and wielding a staff.

The first to recognize them were young workers at a repair shop on the street.

"Lin Mo?"

The man called out tentatively, and when Lin Mo turned around, he became excited.

"It really is you, Commander!!"

A shout rang out, and people kept coming out of nearby shops and residential areas.

Some people took out their phones to take pictures, some waved in this direction, and an elderly person who was buying groceries even forgot about their shopping basket and quickly walked over.

Wu Suowei and Wu Jiandao immediately stepped forward, but did not rudely stop them; they simply reminded everyone not to crowd.

"Sir, my family consists of six people, and we live in the Eastern District 3."

The old man stopped more than two meters away, his voice trembling slightly.

"That burrowing dragon was only a few hundred meters away from where we lived. If you hadn't brought back Terran reinforcements, my home would be gone."

"We didn't mean anything by it, we just wanted to thank you in person."

The surroundings gradually quieted down.

Lin Mo took two steps forward and smiled:

"Old sir, I am not the only one defending Tianxiong City."

"The soldiers did not retreat, and many of Terra's friends fought desperately to hold back the demons."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Fendona, Kyle, and the others.

The old man followed his gaze and bowed deeply to the crowd.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

Fendona quickly stepped forward to help the elderly man.

"You don't need to do that. We, all the different ethnic groups, have always been friends with the Great Xia."

Kyle maintained his aloof expression, but returned the old man's greeting.

Thorin stroked his beard, unusually refraining from making any jokes.

In the crowd, a six or seven-year-old boy broke free from his mother's hand and ran to Lin Mo.

"Uncle Lin, my mom said it was you who chased the monster away, and that's why our family is alright now!"

Lin Mo's lips twitched.

I'm not even twenty-six years old yet, how did I become an uncle?

Wait, I'm already 26?

He paused for a moment. Yes, nearly three years had passed. Time really flies.

The boy's mother quickly pulled him back, somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, sir, the child was just being ignorant."

"It's okay."

Lin Mo squatted down and patted the boy's head.

"It's all thanks to everyone's hard work. You must study hard so that our future lives can be better and our country can become stronger, then the demons won't dare to bully us!"

The boy nodded vigorously.

"Then I'll build weapons even bigger than planet-destroying cannons in the future!"

"That's ambitious." Lin Mo was speechless.

He had just stood up when someone next to him tentatively asked:

"Sir, may I take a picture with you?"

"Can."

He had barely agreed when dozens of cell phones around him were simultaneously raised.

Upon seeing this, Wu Suowei immediately had everyone line up.

Wu Jiandao stood in the middle of the road, reminding everyone not to block the public passage.

Lin Mo took more than a dozen photos in a row, and the smile on his face almost froze.

What surprised him even more was that the people wanted more than just to take a photo with him.

Fendona was quickly surrounded by a group of young people, who admired her looks and were also incredibly curious about the Moonlight Staff in her hand.

Some people online have analyzed that this is at least an epic-level staff!

As for the Elf Queen, she also made a move in Terra back then, and according to videos and Terra data, she even possessed the legendary weapon Staff of Nature!

Sorin then took the initiative to teach the photographers how to find the right angles.

"Hey, shoot from below! Yes! Lower it a bit, that'll make me look taller!"

Grom, on the other hand, simply crossed his arms to show off his muscles and grinned foolishly.

As for Kyle, he initially put on an unapproachable demeanor, but the first person to ask him for a photo was a little girl holding a children's book about the history of the Holy Human Race.

Faced with the child's expectant gaze, Kyle remained silent for two seconds before finally nodding.

Once the first one is established, it will be unstoppable for the rest.

Lin Shigong stood to the side, watching with a broad smile.

"The fact that people are still willing to leave their homes and take photos with smiles shows that they have emerged from the shadow of the disaster."

"For a city that was almost destroyed by demons, there is nothing better than this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo did not urge him any further.

The crowd gradually dispersed only after traffic police arrived from the city and began reminding residents not to disrupt public transportation.
