Thump, thump, thump!...
"Everyone come over! Hurry up!"
One morning, a group of fully-armed Peace Party soldiers was beating drums on the vacant streets. Countless survivors woke up from the noisy sounds, their eyes lighting up in anticipation at the sight of the Peace Party members rallying everyone together.
"What's going on? Is the Peace Party recruiting? Count me in!"
"Me too..." The survivors had witnessed the good meals provided to Peace Party members and aspired to live like them. Eagerly awaiting the Peace Party's planned event, they swarmed the place like starved wolves hungry for meat. Soon, the square was teeming with people.
"What's that?"
"Is the Peace Party giving out food?"
"Our leader is such a wonderful person!"
"Only our leader is truly strong! Long live our leader!"
In the center of the square, people greedily eyed the object covered by a red cloth, thinking it contained food.
Ruan Chao'en watched the scene unfold with an eerily crooked smile.
