He opened his mouth and said to look at a heavy number.

"A total of 1,413 people died this time."

"A total of 1,104 of them were turned into skeletons. The rest died in the riot."

When Lin Ye heard this number, he was directly stunned.

He had thought that the casualties would be very heavy.

However, he did not expect so many people to die.

Moreover, the deaths of these people could be said to be his fault.

If he did not let Li Yao draw his beast, if he immediately killed it after the beast was drawn and discovered that it was a black beast, if he paid more attention to the White Bone Dojo, if he did not let Li Yao approach Zha Gu, if…

At this moment, Lin Ye thought of many ifs.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the real world.

These more than a thousand lost lives would not come back from the dead.

Because of his negligence, countless families had been shattered…

"This… I…"

Lin Ye opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

However, in the end, he realized that he could not say anything.

It was true that he had transmigrated and did not have any special feelings for this world.

At first, he even felt like he was playing with the world.

They did not treat the people here as humans, but NPCs.

However, after slowly interacting with Su Hongcheng, Yang Wei, Qin Zhilan, Su Qingqing, Hong Zhijun, and the students of those academies and the people who came to buy beasts, Lin Ye had long unknowingly integrated into this world.

At the very least, he would not often have the feeling of "losing his independence" now.

Therefore, when he heard that more than 1,400 people had died in this disaster, Lin Ye even wanted to escape for a moment.

At first, he had also thought of comforting himself.

In any case, these more than a thousand people had nothing to do with him.

If they died, so be it.

However, Lin Ye was not a professionally trained killer.

It was impossible for him to be so heartless.

Not to mention the people who had died because of him.

Before transmigrating, Lin Ye had not even killed a chicken personally…

Looking at Lin Ye's guilty expression, Yang Wei patted his shoulder.

"Dojo Master Lin, I'm not saying this as if I want you to feel guilty."

"There are many reasons for this accident."

"Although the source is indeed from the dojo, you didn't deliberately release Zha Gu."

At this point, Yang Wei looked at Li Yao and continued,

"Moreover, according to the investigations of my subordinates, three strange people appeared in the old city before the incident.

"At first, they were wearing clothes that were a little tattered, but the workmanship and materials were very exquisite.

"However, later on, they changed into the brown rough clothes that the refugees in Jiangzhou City loved the most.

"According to the description of the clothing shop owner and a few other survivors who saw these three people, our members with painting abilities have slightly restored their appearances.

With that said, Yang Wei took out his communicator and handed it to Lin Ye.

After Lin Ye, who was still in a daze, took the communicator, he discovered that the three faces on it were very familiar.

Looking at Lin Ye's expression, Yang Wei immediately said,

"Dojo Master Lin has seen these three people?"

"Yes, I've seen them. They came to look for me and even had some friction. Someone even died here."

Hearing Lin Ye say that he had seen him before, Yang Wei immediately asked,

"Dojo Master Lin, do you know their identities?"

"If you can investigate these things clearly, at the very least, the city hall won't be able to make you do anything openly."

"Of course, actually, even without this evidence, you can ignore them.

"In this world, to say it cruelly, one still needs strength to survive.

"I can only say that I'm very regretful about these deaths."

"Sometimes, the weak are like this."

"But the weak don't deserve to die, right?"

When Lin Ye said this, he was slightly louder.

This voice made Qin Zhilan, Li Yao, and the others look over.

Seeing that Lin Ye's expression seemed to be very ugly, Qin Zhilan immediately jogged over and gently reached out to hold Lin Ye's hand that was so excited that veins were bulging.

Sensing the cold but soft touch in his hand, Lin Ye calmed down slightly.

"I'm sorry, Vice President Yang. I…"

Yang Wei smiled and waved his hand.

He said helplessly,

"You don't have to be sorry."

"I understand what Hall Master Lin means."

"In fact, I thought so at first.

"But this is the world."

"The weak are just so helpless."

"The original intention of our Mutant Federation was not only to join the team for warmth, but also to protect ordinary people without mutants. However, after so many years of development, who still remembers?"

"Or rather, even if a few people remember, it's very difficult for the strength of one or a few people to change the situation of the weak in the general environment.

Hearing Yang Wei's words, Lin Ye fell silent.

Was there a problem with what Yang Wei said?

No problem.

Not to mention in such a cruel and collapsed world.

Even before Lin Ye transmigrated, the weak were the same.

However, on Earth, the weak usually referred to another name—poor.

On Earth, Lin Ye could not help the world at the same time and could only protect himself.

However, it was different now.

He had a beast and a system.

If these people from the old district had each had a beast when the undead first erupted, would things still have developed like this?

He believed that as long as Zha Gu did not personally take action, even an Ironback Pig could be involved with those undead warriors for a while.

Moreover, on the way back, Lin Ye also saw a small number of surviving residents of the old district with beasts beside them.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye's eyes narrowed slightly as he said word by word,

"I can do it!"

Hearing Lin Ye say "I can", Yang Wei was stunned for a moment at first and did not react.

However, when he thought of the last sentence he said, he came back to his senses.

"I know that your beasts are very strong, but those refugees in the old district…"

"I don't have to charge them."

Lin Ye's thoughts were very simple. Since the system wanted money desperately, he would just "lend" the money to those people. As for when they would return it, it should be very easy to set a time of 99 years, right?

This was the only way Lin Ye could think of and the only way to let ordinary people live in this miserable and dangerous world.

Since more than a thousand people had died because of him and his beasts this time, he would use his beasts to save a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million…

Looking at Lin Ye, who had made up his mind, Yang Wei scratched his head.

"Um… I won't stop you, but let's figure out the cause first ~"

"Otherwise, if the City Hall interferes, even if Hall Master Lin gives it to you for free, you might not be able to obtain those people's recognition."

This time, Lin Ye did not say anything else and nodded silently.

"I'll get Li Yao to come and ask. These three people are all from the Truth Corporation."

Yang Wei hurriedly waved his hand.

"No need. I'll go. Hall Master Lin, rest for a while first."

With that said, Yang Wei arrived in front of Li Yao more than 20 meters away in a flash.

After Yang Wei left, Lin Ye looked ahead in confusion.

Qin Zhilan, who was still holding Lin Ye's left hand, looked at the confused appearance of the person in front of her and her heart tightened for no reason.

After interacting with Lin Ye for so long, this was the first time Qin Zhilan had seen such an expression on his face.

Usually, Lin Ye had a gentle smile on his face. At most, he would scold Blackie and the Fire Phoenix when they were naughty.

However, he was still scolding with a smile.

Now, other than sadness and confusion on Lin Ye's face, Qin Zhilan could not see any other expression.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you can do it."

Qin Zhilan's words pulled Lin Ye back from his empty mind.

After returning to his senses, Lin Ye lowered his head slightly to look at Qin Zhilan. He looked at the eyes behind her lenses and slowly nodded.

"Thank you."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Ye already had a plan.

He needed to speed up.

At this moment, a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the academy.

They all shouted the same slogan—

"Hand over the murderer!"

"Hand over the murderer!"
