"Come with us!!"

"Come with us!!"

The echoes reverberated throughout the Peji City at that moment.

This time, many survivors, upon seeing the red giants standing tall beside their homes, did not attack them but instead tried to persuade them.

Many survivors chose to believe.

"Aifeli, they really have come to save us."

"Joan, but they're terrifying. Should we wait a little longer? The president is still here; he hasn't given any instructions yet."

"Aifeli, look around. What have we been through? The rescuers we were hoping for have ruthlessly destroyed our city... Please, stop hoping!"

A couple is struggling with their decision; it's clear the man is very resistant.

At the same time, I am also very vigilant and worried.

No one can help but feel terrified when faced with a terrifyingly tall giant.

The woman had lost hope in everything, including the V5; all she wanted now was to reach a safe environment.

In her view, at least the other party showed goodwill.

These giants didn't attack them; instead, they helped them.

"I understand, Joan..."

In the end, after looking at the Red Giants that stood there without launching an attack, the man chose to believe.

It was a matter of trusting the woman's decision, as well as trusting the Titans and the group of boys who seemed to be able to control them.

More and more survivors, along with Uvogin, followed the giant Toy Soldiers to where Ian was.

There were so many people, it looked like a huge crowd.

The Republic of the Congo is a multi-ethnic country, therefore, it has people with black, yellow, and white skin.

Ian saved them, albeit out of his own good intentions.

But if it benefits his future plans, he naturally won't let it go.

For any power to grow, population is absolutely crucial.

Of course, Ian could easily build a powerful organization using only the tools at his disposal and with Uvogin and others.

However, without grassroots power and implementers, it is extremely difficult to change the world.

He has no shortage of powerful deterrent force, but he lacks practitioners and followers of his ideas.

As things stand at the moment.

Ejin City is developing well, Ian believes, after experiencing the safe and orderly environment there now.

Even if we let them leave now, the Ejin City would probably not be willing.

They... were the firsthand experiencers and disseminators of Ian's ideas.

But the population of just Ejin City is far from enough when compared to the rest of the world.

Therefore, this time they came to Peji City for rescue.

That's also the purpose.

To put it bluntly...

This group of people, who have just experienced a brutal war, with their homes destroyed and loved ones killed, are in their most vulnerable mental state.

Ian's appearance, coupled with his miraculous abilities and the future living environment he would provide for them, all contributed to this.

It will make these people genuinely accept each other!

This devout acceptance is Ian's ultimate goal.

Ian already had this idea when he obtained the "Map of Repositioning".

He plans to move the city and its population directly back to the vicinity of Ejin City.

Despite the vast distance between them, the process was somewhat arduous due to limitations in the available space.

But Ian understood.

If we work diligently, we will definitely be able to complete this plan, and its impact will be enormous.

He's made his move; now it's up to V5 to respond.

If his intentions are seen through, then the two sides have simply fought a battle. No matter how powerful the opponent's military equipment is, Ian's gadget abilities are not bad either.

There's nothing to worry about.

More and more survivors gathered in a square in Peji.

Unbeknownst to them, the city had been moved into the Forest, and the power system had been forced to shut down.

They thought the war was over.

Or perhaps, these guys controlling giants are the ultimate victors of the war.

"The war continues... just a few dozen kilometers away."

"You're lucky you didn't fall in the first wave of attacks..."

At that moment, standing atop the head of a giant Toy Soldiers, Ian spoke.

Upon hearing his words, the survivors below exchanged bewildered glances. Some tried to look in the direction Ian had indicated, but unfortunately, the surrounding area was still filled with towering buildings that blocked their view.

A cacophony of voices rose from below; some were afraid, some were worried, and some were confused.

Just then, Ian spoke up.

"You should have noticed it; there's a deep pit right next to me..."

Upon hearing his words, the people who had been spying on the other side from the high-rise building turned pale. Of course, most of them didn't understand why until they heard the explanation from the people next to them, and then they all turned pale.

Ian waited quietly until they finished their hushed discussion before speaking calmly.

"Those people died, not only at the hands of the monsters, but also at the hands of the soldiers sent by V5..."

"More than 100,000 of your compatriots fell there..."

"Even though I saved you, I don't know what to do next..."

"Perhaps... letting you leave is a good idea."

Below, many people showed joy on their faces when they heard Ian's words.

After all, being with these towering monsters was incredibly oppressive.

However, Ian's next words surprised them all.

"However, I don't know if V5 will silence you to cover up what happened here if I let you go back. After all, your country has no say in V5's eyes."

Upon hearing this...

A chill ran through everyone.

Although they all longed for V5, this group was well aware of V5's assertive approach!

Too many small countries have disappeared from this planet because they angered V5.

If V5 were to cover up a massacre that occurred here, they might silence the victims and then claim that their country had experienced a toxic leak or a nuclear leak—that wouldn't be impossible!

The survivors present had seen these reports frequently on television news.

What used to be far away is now so close that those who are close can't help but think about it, so they all shouted out in unison.

"Please save us!"

"Don't hand us over to V5!!"

"Savior, you are the Savior of Peji City! Please help us!"

Below, a group of survivors shouted in unison.

Atop the airship, the photographers felt somewhat awkward and put down their cameras. After all, they weren't stupid; they could imagine what the survivors below were saying.

Such footage will definitely be destroyed by V5, and they may even be held accountable.

However, they managed to capture the bizarre abilities the boy displayed on film.

Some have already predicted that this mysterious young man will inevitably become a great figure who will leave his mark on world history, and therefore have captured many shots of him.

Of course, only a few were transmitted back to the v5 base.

On the field, Ian, seeing that his words had achieved their effect, no longer concealed his true feelings and said softly with a compassionate expression.

"Since you're willing to believe me, then leave now and head to the distant Ejin City, where you can rebuild your homes."

However, at that moment...

"Etc!"

Several military generals and President Xiupa and his entourage finally emerged from the shelter, pushed through the crowd, and appeared in the center of the scene.
