Chapter 218 The crisis is coming
"It's true! Grandma! You're really well. Let me help you up and walk around!" Xiaonan couldn't help but shed tears of joy.
Rebecca and Wendy looked at each other and smiled, then carried Ian out of the room. After all, they would have to clean up after the old man got up, so Xiaonan could be left alone here.
"Xiaonan, you don't need to help me. Grandma feels full of energy. I can stand up by myself..." Rebecca didn't listen to the rest of the words. The three of them had returned to the hall, waiting for the old lady to clean up and come out to meet them.
Not long after, Xiaonan came out leading a white-haired old lady.
The old lady was not as tall as Xiaonan. Although she had a hunched back, she looked in good spirits and her face did not have as many wrinkles as before. This was the old lady's condition before she fell ill. They all greeted each other and sat down at the table. Ain's spirits had also recovered a lot.
"Grandma, my current abilities are still unstable, and I don't know how long this state can last. Don't blame me if it changes back to the original state!" It had only been a short while since Ian ate the fruit, and he still didn't have enough confidence in himself.
"It's okay, little Ai'en. I'm content as long as I can live this healthy. It doesn't matter how long it will last. I haven't felt this relaxed for two years. Even if I die in the next moment, it's worth it!"
The old lady laughed and said that she now cared little about life and death. If she had not been afraid that her granddaughter would be lonely, she would have wanted to die long ago. Not only would she be a burden to others, but she would also be very miserable.
"Grandma! Why are you still saying this now? You must be well again and will live a long, long life!" Xiaonan couldn't bear to hear the old lady cursing her like this. She still hoped that her grandma could survive.
"Rebecca, you haven't been to the capital yet, have you?" The old lady saw the flowers that Xiaonan had picked on the table, and asked Rebecca, not knowing what she was thinking of.
"Not yet. It's so beautiful here. We wanted to wait until we see all the flowers before going." Rebecca didn't know why the old lady asked that, but she told the truth anyway.
"It's good that you haven't gone yet. Don't eat the specialty food in the city. It's made with the petals of the devil's flower here. It's addictive. You must not eat it!" The old lady warned. She didn't want these kind people to suffer that kind of torture.
"Devil's flower? What is that?" Rebecca asked in confusion.
"It's this sea of flowers. They are the flowers that the devil left in the world. They are the devil's flowers! This is what we call it privately. We call it the flower of love to the outside world.
Not only has it destroyed our cultivated land, it has also taken over all the places where we grow food. Now all the food on the island has to be purchased from outside.
The royal family controls the food, and indirectly controls the life and death of the civilians of the entire country. The food each person gets is rationed every month, and it can only ensure that we don't starve to death.
We have to plant these evil flowers for the royal family endlessly, attracting outsiders to come here to play and spend money, and feed them with addictive food.
Letting them linger until they are penniless and become slaves is a way of harming people! I really don’t understand how the king who used to care about his people could become like this. Can time really change a person? "
The old lady was heartbroken and told the secret of the island.
"grandmother!"
Xiaonan shouted with some concern that what the old lady said were the secrets of this island. It was expressly stipulated on the island that it was not allowed to tell outsiders, otherwise the whole family would be executed without a single person being spared.
It is useless even if they are said in private, as those words seem to be taboo. The royal family seems to be able to accurately sense who is saying those things. The person who says them, including their family members, will be arrested immediately and will never appear in public again.
Rebecca and Wendy were shocked to hear that there was such bloodiness behind this beautiful island.
This is a beautiful trap. I don’t know how many people have been harmed by it over the years. This also makes Rebecca’s righteous heart particularly angry.
The royal family exploited their own islanders for money and set traps to attract outsiders to harm them. This beautiful island is completely a man-eating demon.
"It's okay, Xiaonan, I have been holding these words in my heart for too long. Many people just looked at the sea of flowers around them and finally disappeared in the capital.
My conscience no longer allows me to remain silent. My body was broken before, and I couldn't tell the truth to outsiders.
But today I was cured and met the navy. This is God's will! I must tell the truth.
Regardless of whether your navy will care about us, a non-member country, even if you really can't, I hope you can take Xiaonan away. The old woman is dead, but Xiaonan is still young, she still has a good life to experience, she is not married yet!"
The old lady's emotions fluctuated greatly. She had experienced life and death and had given up everything. The emotions that had been pent up in her heart for many years were completely released. She did not want the navy who saved her to suffer such a fate, and she also did not want her granddaughter to follow her old path!
"Don't worry, grandma. We are still trainee marines. We are here to gain experience. We still have some autonomy.
I don’t know how to help you right now, but there is someone here who can definitely help you. If I go find him, he will definitely agree!”
Rebecca once vowed to defend her justice with the sword in her hand. What this country has done is completely contrary to justice.
A royal family that can't even treat its own citizens well has already lost the support of the people. However, the royal family has tied the hands and feet of all its citizens with food. This is exploitation!
Rebecca is now facing the country, and she doesn't know where to find a breakthrough, but she believes that Vic can find and solve the problem here.
Vic was painting seriously at the moment, and had no idea that he had been caught by a young girl.
At this time, he was already surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, looking him up and down, admiring this masterpiece of God, which was simply too perfect.
Vic couldn't help but sigh that the power of this sea of love flowers was really great, attracting so many young girls to come here to try their luck.
"Are you still trainee marines? Could the man you are talking about be your instructor?"
The old lady was a little stunned when she heard Rebecca's words. What can a trainee marine do? Compared with the country? Compared with the gang? There is no need to compare!
The old lady couldn't help but think whether it was right or wrong to drag these kind people into this vortex this time. Now someone might have come to capture her and Xiaonan, and if they knew the truth about the island, these naval recruits would not be able to escape.
"It's not our instructor. Our instructor went to sleep on the warship and has no plans to go to the island this time. The person I'm talking about is with us. He is also a trainee recruit, but he is very strong!"
Rebecca said seriously, but when the old lady heard her say this, her heart sank again. Was she really unable to escape this time? She was also going to implicate these young people and her granddaughter!
The old lady now felt that her decision was a bit hasty, but as long as these new recruits could take Xiaonan back to the warship and escape from here, they should be safe. The royal family and the gangs were too powerful, and the fact that this island had not revealed its secrets for so many years was proof of that.
At this moment, a crisis has quietly arrived, and no one has noticed it yet!
