Libya citizens do not feel oppressed by this; on the contrary, most people feel much freer and happier than before. The real oppression was during the period of "Emotion Crime," when there was no emotion, no self, and people were arrested and cremated at the drop of a hat.

Now they can openly and freely enjoy a life full of emotions. As long as they don't commit crimes, they don't have to worry about being arrested. The soldiers patrolling the streets are protecting their safety. They feel an unprecedented sense of freedom, happiness, and security.

The people inside the city were liberated, but Chen Mo did not forget the "abandoned people" outside the city. The giant airship that was originally flying over Libya crossed the high city walls and flew to the Nithers District to convey Libya's new policies to the people of the entire Nithers District.

All doors to Libya are open to Nithers; anyone who wishes can enter Libya, become a Libya citizen, and enjoy a safe and stable living environment.

Of course, what they didn't know was that upon entering Libya, everyone would be subjected to an emotion detector test. This device, which can detect even the slightest emotions, would be more than capable of detecting lies. Anyone who had committed a serious crime would not be greeted with a spacious and clean new house, but rather with a cramped incineration chamber.

This program is mainly aimed at those contraband trafficking organizations. Although Chen Mo's frenzied killing has reduced these armed gangs that once dominated Nithers to almost nothing, a few still managed to survive, but ultimately they could not escape Chen Mo's clutches.

Under Chen Mo's manipulation, Libya was not liberated by force as depicted in the movies, but rather transitioned smoothly into the state everyone desired. Chen Mo could be considered to have accomplished his mission. After leaving behind the video image and voice processing software created by J.A.R.V.I.S. that could impersonate the Pope, he released the Iron Man suit from his spatial dimension under the cover of night, quickly donned it, and flew out of the window on the top floor of the Church building.

Without any stealth equipment, Chen Mo flew out of Libya City at high speed, his feet spewing out dazzling white flames, heading towards the outskirts of the Nithers District.

Chen Mo had previously had J.A.R.V.I.S. control a satellite to roughly observe the entire Earth, and ultimately discovered that all the cities in the world had become ruins, with no other modern cities found except in Libya.

Libya may well be the last remaining seed of civilization in the world.

As Chen Mo flew over the outskirts of the Nithers District, he passed the two-story house with a yard where the middle-aged couple lived, the same house he had seen after wiping out the large armed gang hiding in the abandoned shopping mall that day.

It was already late at night, and the Nithers District was pitch black without any lights. However, Chen Mo was able to see the courtyard below in great detail using the night vision and magnification functions of his Iron Man suit.

The vegetables in the yard are still growing neatly, and the yard looks very tidy.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., scan the entire house."

At Chen Mo's command, the scene before his eyes immediately changed. The entire structure of the house, its internal shape, and all its objects were scanned, but no trace of humans was found.

Clearly, they have left and gone to Libya.

In fact, after seeing the giant airship and hearing the announcement that the Emotion Crime had been abolished and that outcasts from outside the city would be allowed to enter Libya, the two packed their things and left the small building where they had lived for many years that same day, heading to Libya.

In the past, they would have hesitated for a while upon suddenly hearing this news.

But after encountering Chen Mo last time, they originally thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly nothing happened. At that time, the two had a bold guess: the High Priest saw them was actually a love criminal.

Although this guess was somewhat surprising, the tremendous changes that have occurred today prove that their initial guess was correct, and there is clearly some connection between the two events.

Chen Mo was just passing by and took a casual look back on what had happened. Since the two of them had already gone into the Libya City, Chen Mo did not linger and sped out of the Nithers District, entering the area outside the city ruins further away.

As Chen Mo flew through the sky, he discovered that apart from the ruins of the city, almost all traces of human activity had disappeared. Weeds and trees had grown in the farmland, turning it into vast grasslands and forests. Roads that no one ever traveled were also covered by weeds, shrubs, and trees, making them difficult to distinguish from the air.

Beyond the city ruins, a complete wilderness has been formed, where nocturnal animals can be seen roaming freely. The world has once again become the domain of wild animals, and the ecological environment, destroyed by human survival, development, and war, has rapidly recovered after the sharp decline in the human population.

However, in this wilderness, one can still occasionally see traces of humans. There are lit campfires and tents made of branches, which look more like wilderness survival. The weapons placed next to the tents are mostly bows and arrows and machetes. The humans who survived in the wilderness have returned to a state of hunting for a living.

In the wilderness far from the city, without the supply of ammunition, firearms quickly became useless. Hunting could only be done with the most primitive cold weapons such as knives, spears, bows and arrows, in conjunction with traps.

As they flew over the vast wilderness and jungle, Chen Mo spotted a small wooden cabin built beside a scenic lake, in addition to a few lone hunters.

A sturdy wooden fence surrounds the cabin and a clearing by the lake, where grains and vegetables are planted. A small wooden boat is also moored by the lake.

After scanning, J.A.R.V.I.S. discovered that a family of three lived in the cabin, and an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun was leaning against the door.

Clearly, thanks to the lake and farming, this family of three lives a much better life than those lone travelers, living a secluded life by the picturesque lake.

The sturdy fence blocked most of the animal threats, and the shotgun provided them with even stronger security. However, from J.A.R.V.I.S.'s scan of the entire house, Chen Mo discovered that the shotgun only had three bullets left.

Clearly, they have encountered many dangers over the years, and no matter how carefully they use their money, it will eventually run out.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., scan for carnivores within a ten-kilometer radius."

Chen Mo, who had unexpectedly discovered this paradise-like place, did not rush to leave. He hovered in the air wearing his Iron Man suit.

With Chen Mo's command, an invisible light net swept across the jungle below, and soon a set of data appeared on the holographic screen in front of Chen Mo.
