Chapter 2038 Reality and Illusion

After listening to Mel's story, Zhang Yi closed his eyes and thought for a long time.

What is the meaning of the existence of this world?

In this chaotic world full of endless fighting and never having peace, can people living in this place be happy?

It was getting dark, and Mel's story went on for a long time, and the lights were turned on outside.

Mel suddenly stood up, smiled and bowed to Zhang Yi, saying: "Your Excellency the Brave One, let's have dinner together!"

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said, "The food in the palace is not very worldly. Do you want to take me outside for a walk? I want to eat something that ordinary people eat."

Mel blinked, but nodded in agreement.

She took Zhang Yi out of the palace and came to the streets of the royal city.

At night, this place is still bustling. Lanterns have been hung in the tavern. The light of the magic lamps is very bright, and the streets are as bright as day, with almost no shadows to be seen.

There were many pedestrians on the streets at night, everyone was bustling about, and there was no sadness or hunger on their faces as during the war.

Zhang Yi suddenly asked Meier, "The war lasted for three years, and the people were displaced, but the royal city was peaceful. Is this kind of scene common in the Helen Kingdom?"

Mel said: "The war is only in a local area, and most of the victims in the war-torn area have been transferred to safe areas. The economy of Helen Country has declined, but the problem of keeping people warm can still be solved."

Zhang Yi walked around the street for a long time and confirmed that Mel was not lying. Even in times of war, ordinary people in this world can still live a relatively stable life.

Of course, war will bring death, but it will not shake the foundation of this country.

Zhang Yi bought some food at a roadside stall. The Demon God's Armor was equipped with a toxin detection device, which could confirm that the food was harmless to the body.

This was a rare opportunity for Zhang Yi to eat food from the outside world, but it tasted very good and was something he could not eat in the human world.

It is very sweet and steaming hot, and it warms your body after you eat it.

Zhang Yi put down the chopsticks in his hand, and suddenly, he took off the demon armor on his body, and they were gathered on the bracelet on Zhang Yi's left hand.

Finally, he felt the night wind.

The gentle temperature and soft wind blew on his face. It was the long-lost natural and warm wind.

It had been three years since they last met, and this feeling moved him to tears.

“I didn’t expect that I would actually feel a sense of tranquility in the world created by the Demon God.”

Zhang Yi said this.

Mel asked gently, "Do you think of your hometown?"

Zhang Yi nodded: "Indeed."

Then, he called Zhou Ke'er and others out from the shadows.

A large group of people appeared at the stall, scaring everyone.

Mel was startled, but quickly regained his composure and took out a gold coin and handed it to the boss.

"Boss, we'll take over your stall today!"

After coming to the outside world, everyone felt what Zhang Yi felt, and they greedily breathed in the air outside.

In their world, the air is dry and extremely cold, and even the slightest bit of breathing can cause injury to the respiratory tract.

But the air here is so fresh and sweet!

"Compared to the world we live in, this is like paradise!"

Yang Siya looked around, a fascinated look on her face.

Mel said quickly, "If you like, you can stay here forever. As long as we can solve the problem of the Demon King, life here will definitely satisfy you."

Zhang Yi did not answer, but raised his hand again and asked the boss to bring a snack.

"Princess Mel."

Princess Mel: "Hmm?"

Zhang Yi looked at her and said, "Excuse me, I hope to enjoy the present time with our friends. Can you step aside for a moment?"

Princess Meier was a little speechless. She was a princess who condescended to come and serve as your guide, but you just threw her away after using her? You simply treated her as... Never mind, that word was not nice.

The guards around Mel also glared at Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi didn't even bother to look at them.

He is just a passer-by and does not need to care about the feelings of other people in this world, so he does whatever he wants.

Mel took a deep breath, stood up politely and said, "Then I wish you all a happy meal!"

Mel left with his guards, and they got on the carriage and rushed back to the palace.

It is called a palace, but in fact it is just a larger tall building. Zhang Yi can go back by himself because he has the key to the room.

Fatty Xu and Li Yangyang sat together. He smelled the local specialty food that he had never eaten before, licked his lips, blew on it twice, and then scooped a spoonful and handed it to Li Yangyang's mouth.

Li Yangyang lowered her head shyly, reached out to gather her hair behind her ears, then put her lips forward and held the spoon.

The streets are brightly lit, with all kinds of magic lights that are no less dazzling than human neon lights.

There are people coming and going on the road, all kinds of goods are displayed on the stalls and in the shops, and vendors are calling on passers-by to come and buy.

Everything seemed so warm, just like the bustling pedestrian streets in the human world before the end of the world.

Uncle You and his friends looked around while eating, their eyes full of reminiscence and envy.

If possible, they also hope that the human world can return to its former beauty.

"I have a suspicion in my mind."

Zhang Yi spoke casually to everyone while eating.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yi. They knew that Zhang Yi called them out for a purpose. It must be something important.

Zhang Yi looked at everyone and said seriously: "The Yihen people's understanding of the Druks is wrong!"

Everyone had strange expressions on their faces.

Not long ago, they came into contact with the Yihen people and learned the truth about the entire universe and the life groups on this planet.

According to the Ihen people, the Druks are beasts, an inferior race that only acts on instinct.

They were forced into hiding by these brutal monsters, so they had no good feelings towards the Druks.

They described the Druks as having no redeeming qualities other than eating, mating and surviving, and being too stupid to communicate with their Creator.

But today, everything Zhang Yi saw changed his perception.

"At that time, I had a preconceived notion that Drucker was an irrational, brutal and crazy god."

"But what I saw today made me start to reflect on one thing."

He smiled and looked at everyone: "In the eyes of the Yihen people, is there any race in this world that is not stupid?"

This sentence caused everyone to reflect.

Fatty Xu rolled his eyes and recalled, "When we first met the Ichen Knights in the Chernobyl wasteland, they just regarded other intelligent creatures as bugs. Of course, they viewed us the same way."
