And not just them, even Lan Yulian herself felt this way.
Although the survivors were very afraid, they all obediently stood there. One reason was Lan Yulian's high prestige; another was that they too knew they had nowhere else to turn.
Looking at those docile yet frightened faces in the camera, Lan Yulian sighed helplessly. Then she lifted her phone and approached the infants being held in arms.
"Come on, smile~"
Lan Yulian teased one of the infants who was staring wide-eyed.
Perhaps it was Lan Yulian's gentle manner, so comforting and familiar, that the infant immediately broke into a grin, smiling happily.
"Such a good baby~"
Lan Yulian filmed for a good while before moving away.
If these were truly to be their last images, Lan Yulian hoped to capture a smiling face. The adults certainly couldn't manage a real smile—only a forced one at best. Only these little children, who understood nothing, could smile from the heart.
