Chapter 624: The North of the World and the New Threat

Lindsay led the five young men into the reception room.

He even took two detours on the way.

Let these young people take a closer look at the internal conditions of the [Forest City].

The five were shocked.

In addition to the extremely prosperous urban construction, the people living here also live and work in peace and contentment.

Especially with sufficient food, water, and living environment.

Most of the residents of [Forest City] are in high spirits and wear simple but comfortable clothes.

A smile is such a precious thing.

It can also be seen frequently in this city.

So when Lindsay sat in the reception room and opened the map to check, he suddenly discovered it.

Among the five people, even the young man with the most violent temper turned his attitude into a friendly green.

Or to be more specific.

The five people are now feeling nervous and even a little restless.

The person on the far left began to feel embarrassed because the animal skin clothes he was wearing did not fit in with the [Forest City]; the impatient person had slightly red eyes, as if something in his heart was touched.

It was the young man who had talked to Lindsay before.

He remained calm for now, watching Lindsay's actions with respect.

"Sit down first."

Lindsay waved his right hand and pointed at the kettle on the table:
"I see you are all very tired. If you are thirsty, you can drink some water first. If you are hungry, I will ask the people below to prepare food."

This time, the five young men remained unmoved.

The calmest one among them stepped forward and said firmly:

"My Lord, we are not here to beg!"

Lindsay nodded slightly:

"I heard from my men that you are here to ask for help?"

The young man opposite looked solemn:

"It is indeed a call for help."

"But to be more precise, the whole world now urgently needs to unite to fight the greatest crisis together!"

After explaining the purpose, the young man introduced Lindsay:

"You may not know that this world once had a glorious history, where people lived happily. It was definitely not the wasteland it is today! The evil people who pushed this world into desolation have not completely left yet, but are lurking in the shadows..."

Lindsay suddenly interrupted:

"You mean those Deformers hiding underground?"

"Are they the awakened ones who exploit human flesh and blood and even desecrate the dead?"

"..."

The young man was visibly stunned.

He didn't expect Lindsay to know this kind of news. He stood there for a few seconds before he said in astonishment:

"You...you actually know them?"

Lindsay stretched out her hand and pressed it lightly, signaling the other party not to be too shocked:
"In fact, I have fought with them and cleared out several of their camps."

"It's a pity that the humans they kept in captivity have completely lost their humanity. I want them to regain their wisdom - I'm still trying to figure out a way to do that."

"..."

The young man opposite was calm and collected.

But faced with this unexpected reality, he still didn't know what to do.

Seeing this scene, Lindsay put on the majestic expression that a lord should have:
"Rather than this, I'd like to know how you got the news."

"If you knew it from the beginning, then the news should have spread in the wasteland a long time ago; if you only found out recently, then I have to re-evaluate your origins and purpose." Lindsay wanted to get the most authentic news, and his attitude was oppressive.

However, I heard this.

The impatient young man behind immediately became anxious:

"I... How could we be in league with those monsters! Even if you are the lord of this territory, I will definitely..."

The calm young man in front immediately stopped his companion.

He then bowed his head to Lindsay to express his respect and apology:
"My Lord, I understand your concerns."

"If you are curious, please allow me to tell you where we come from."

Lindsay nodded and said:
"Then tell me about it."

The young man spoke:

"Before they were completely deprived of their civilization and intelligence, a few of the humans who were kept in captivity underground managed to escape. But because they were trapped underground, they could never find a way out and could only survive in the darkness."

"All this, until..."

At this point, the young man suddenly got stuck.

He thought seriously for a few seconds before trying to find a pronoun and saying:
"According to what the people on the surface said, the sun has risen hundreds of times. A few years ago, we finally found a way out of the underground. But when we got here, we found that the civilization on the ground was just as weak, and the people were hostile and dangerous."

Lindsay tried to ask:

"So you came here to ask me to rescue your companions and get them to leave the underground, or settle in the Forest City?"

"Of course we hope so!" The young man did not hide his desire, but also expressed his true thoughts, "But more importantly, those poisonous people are the deformed ones you mentioned. They lurk underground all year round, collecting human corpses and constantly accumulating strength. I am sure they have bad intentions, and this is the real trouble that needs to be solved!"

Lindsay remained calm:

"Since you have been living underground for a long time and hiding with the Deviants, you should have acquired a lot of information about them, right?"

The young man immediately replied:
"of course I know."

"The Aberrants' base camp is in the north of the world."

"There used to be a very powerful awakener guarding there, and we could hardly find any hope."

"Just a few years ago, the top beings there seemed to have headed to the east of the world and then disappeared. Their power changed as a result, and we finally found an opportunity to escape to the ground."

The base camp of the Aberrants is in the north of the world.

But - the East of the world.

When Lindsay heard this word, what came to her mind was the severed connection between the worlds.

The departure of the Deformed Leader might have a lot to do with this matter.

But now was not the time to study this thing, so Lindsay naturally shifted his attention to the wasteland itself:

"So what you want is for me to send troops to the north to destroy the Deviants' base and rescue those people?"

By this point, Lindsay's tone already showed signs of agreement.

When the young man heard this, a look of relief appeared on his face.

But then, he continued to remind Lindsay with an extremely vigilant attitude:
"My Lord, this is our request for help."

"But in addition to this, there are new and terrifying forces emerging on this land."

Enemies other than the Aberrants?

Considering what these people have experienced, could it be that they still have news about the Green Swamp?

Lindsay raised her eyebrows:
"You go on."

The young man spoke:

"Living underground for many years has made us adapt to underground operations."

"On our way to your territory, we discovered that this world seems to have a new species of hideous-looking insects!"

"They frequently battle the Aberrants."

"If you want to save this world and not let your great territory be threatened, then I think you must pay attention to them as well!"
