Chapter 1 After the War

Since Li Tianran became the leader of the human world, everyone in the world knew his name. As residents of Nancheng, many people felt deeply moved, especially those who had contact with Li Tianran in the past.

Who could have imagined that an ordinary young man who once lived in the same city as them could transform so quickly and become the most powerful being in the entire human civilization?

And the battle on the Gulun Nuoya Great Desert directly pushed Li Tianran's prestige to its peak. That was the first victory for humanity after the confrontation with the ancient civilization!

"Long live Governor Li!"

"Governor Li... Governor Li, I used to deliver fertilizer to your house, do you remember me?"

"Li Tianran, we were classmates! Class of 2012, Nancheng No. 1 High School, you even wrote me a love letter..."

"Governor Li..."

The originally orderly crowd in the square began to become chaotic due to Li Tianran's appearance, and everyone was vying to squeeze forward.

Cries and screams merged into one.

"Please be quiet, everyone! Please be quiet!" Yu Cheng hurriedly shouted when he saw this scene, "Don't push, it's dangerous!"

The piercing alarm sounded over the square, but the crowd remained fanatical and intense, and Yu Cheng's comfort had no effect.

Seeing this scene, Li Tianran suddenly stretched out his hand.

The crowd paused.

He pressed his hand down, making a "silence" gesture.

The entire square fell silent.

Nila Song seemed to be reminiscing about something in his eyes as he watched this scene...

A similar scene seemed to have happened a long, long time ago, when the second Earth Apostle was crowned king.

This is influence!

A light wave of the hand can cause a landslide!

Raising a finger can stop a tsunami!

The square became quiet, and everyone stared at Li Tianran with fanatical eyes, waiting for his speech.

"Fellow compatriots..." Li Tianran looked around the crowd and said in an extremely serious tone, "I am here today to announce something."

"This matter has nothing to do with war, so you don't need to worry."

Li Tianran took a deep breath and said extremely directly, "The Chengjiao Township that was destroyed in the past has been rebuilt! That's right, it's the town where I used to live..."

"What I want to ask is, who is willing to return to live in the rebuilt Chengjiao Township?"

"Returning to Chengjiao Township, you don't need to worry about food supply, but at the same time, I will not send troops to garrison..."

"You can return to the life you had before the world's cataclysm."

Li Tianran's words immediately caused an uproar.

Who wouldn't want to return to the life they had before the world's cataclysm?

Who wants to live in this crowded, beehive-like shelter?

But...

The world outside the shelter is now full of dangers. If they leave the high walls of the shelter, danger may follow!

You should know that although humans have established a defense line, occasionally a few stragglers will sneak in and wreak havoc in the inland cities.

If they are unlucky enough to run into them, it is almost certain death without the protection of the army!

"But you don't need to worry about safety, I guarantee you will be very safe." Li Tianran did not reveal Nila Song's identity to the public, knowing that for these civilians, ancient civilizations represent destruction and death.

Although Li Tianran could trust Nila Song, it was difficult for the civilians to believe in it.

"Can you guarantee safety without the protection of the army?"

"This is too risky..."

Worried discussions spread among the crowd. Although they had absolute respect for Li Tianran, it was not a smart choice to rashly leave the shelter in the current world situation.

Moreover, although Li Tianran is the leader of mankind, he is not a god. Does the fact that he says it will be safe mean it will be safe?

Humanity's greatest enemy is the ancient civilization. If attacked by those terrifying creatures, even Li Tianran wouldn't dare say he could escape unscathed, let alone ordinary humans?

Without strong ships, powerful artillery, or city wall fighters, who would be willing to leave the shelter at this time?

"I don't want to go back, it's too dangerous after leaving the shelter!"

"I'd better stay here! Although life is a little harder, at least I don't have to live in fear..."

"Life first!"

Most people chose to retreat.

Nila Song looked at this scene with deep disappointment in his eyes.

Li Tianran turned to look at Nila Song and said softly, "I told you a long time ago, the psychological shadow that war and death bring to them is too deep."

Nila Song breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned and walked out of the shelter.

Although the town had been completely restored by it, a town without people living in it was just a dead city.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded.

"I... I want to go back."

Nila Song stopped.

Li Tianran also looked in the direction of the voice.

An old woman with white hair walked out, her steps faltering. She stood in front of Li Tianran and said very firmly, "I am willing to go back!"

"I am seventy years old this year. Even if I live... how many more years can I live? Living within these high walls is too suffocating... I want to go out and breathe."

"Even if I die, I would rather die in the town where I used to live."

As the old woman walked out, the crowd fell into another commotion.

Yes, living in this dim high wall, like a lark in a cage, makes people feel extremely depressed and bored!

Many people have returned to their former homes in their dreams.

Leaving the cage-like shelter and living on their homeland as before.

"I... I want to go back and see too!"

A middle-aged man squeezed out of the crowd and said.

"Take me with you..."

More and more people came out.

When the sea beasts invaded, the town where Li Tianran lived was attacked, and at least 30% of the people died. In addition, due to the later problems of drinking water, medicine, food, etc., only half of the people who survived at their peak remained, less than 3,000 people!

And now there are nearly 800 people standing out, which is far beyond Li Tianran's previous imagination.

According to his previous psychological expectations, a rate of 300 people agreeing would have been considered very high.

But most of these people who stood up are elderly people!

Perhaps one of the reasons they stood up was because they felt they wouldn't live much longer anyway...

"Governor Li, you said you would guarantee our safety... is that true?" At this time, a woman with a child in her hand walked over from the crowd behind, and asked very uneasily.

Li Tianran looked at the other party's uneasy eyes and said very seriously and firmly, "I guarantee that the newly repaired town will be the safest place on the entire Blue Star."

"It does not need walls, but it is enough to resist any invasion!"

Li Tianran turned his gaze to Nila Song standing next to him and asked, "Right?"

Nila Song was stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile:

"Yes, even if the enemy is an apostle, they will never be able to set foot here!"
