"The main reason I called everyone here today is because I discovered a New World!"
"A New World!"
Everyone present stood up in shock. They knew Zhong Chen could travel between worlds, after all, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the others were brought back by Zhong Chen from other worlds.
"A Chen! Is what you said true?"
Rimuru asked Zhong Chen, their face full of surprise.
"Hmm, of course it's true, it's just that this world is a bit... how should I put it... I feel like you might want to kill people after hearing about it!"
"Is it... is it that terrifying? To have the urge to kill just from hearing about it!"
"This world is a post-apocalyptic world. The specific situation is like this..."
As Zhong Chen continuously introduced the situation of this world, the expressions of everyone present underwent huge changes.
From initial surprise to confusion, then to shock, and finally to immense anger.
"Thud!"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't hold back and slammed his hand heavily on the conference table, roaring in anger:
"Are those people still human? Such young Children... how dare they!"
"Lord Chen! I can slaughter all those beasts who don't deserve to be called human for you!"
Rengoku Kyoujurou, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt of his sword, also requested Zhong Chen with a murderous look on his face.
Shizue, who was called to attend the meeting, also said in a deep, angry voice:
"For an entire world of people to be so evil, it's simply unimaginable! Those Children, they didn't do anything wrong, why..."
At this point, even though her eyes were already red from just listening to Zhong Chen's narration, Shizue finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Compared to Shizue, who could still endure and only cried silently.
Mitsuri Kanroji, with her pink curly hair, had already started sobbing loudly, and while crying, she pleaded with Zhong Chen:
"Waaah waaah waaah... How can there be such pitiful Children, Lord Chen, Lord Rimuru, let's save them!"
Izayoi Sakuya, standing behind Zhong Chen, forcibly suppressed the killing intent in her heart and calmly requested Zhong Chen:
"Lord Chen! Although I know how evil humans can be, this has already far exceeded the bottom line of being human. I also request that you take action to save those poor Children!"
Rimuru, sitting in the main seat, saw everyone present expressing their desire to save people, and also said with red eyes:
"A Chen! I also beg you, please find a way to save them!"
"Lord Chen! Although we are not humans, even monsters have a protective instinct towards their young. These guys simply deserve to die!"
"This old man's sword can't help but want to kill these inhumane beasts!"
Seeing such an agitated scene, Zhong Chen quickly interrupted everyone and said:
"Don't get excited yet, I definitely plan to save them, but we need to properly discuss how to save them!"
Hearing Zhong Chen's words, everyone slowly calmed down, but even after calming down, they still stared intently at Zhong Chen.
Looking at everyone staring at him, Zhong Chen could only helplessly continue to speak:
"The number of Children we need to save this time might be beyond your imagination. Do you know how many Cursed Children there are?"
Hearing Zhong Chen's question, Kanae Kocho wiped away the tears from her eyes and guessed:
"Tens of thousands?"
Seeing Zhong Chen not speaking, Rigurd couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Lord Chen! It wouldn't be hundreds of thousands, would it?"
Seeing Zhong Chen shake his head again, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also became a bit restless and hurriedly asked:
"Lord Chen! Is it as high as hundreds of thousands? It couldn't be that many, could it!"
"Sigh! It's at least a million!"
Looking at everyone who hadn't guessed correctly several times, Zhong Chen directly stated a number that made them collapse.
"What! O-one million!"
"Lord Chen, you're not joking, are you!"
"A Chen! Is it... really that many?"
Zhong Chen looked at everyone's incredulous faces and said helplessly:
"I'm not joking, there really are that many, and I'm even understating it. I don't know the exact number, but it won't be less than a million!"
"Everyone, let's discuss. How do we save so many Children, and how do we feed at least a million Children after saving them!"
Although Zhong Chen was determined to save all the Cursed Children.
However, this couldn't be done blindly; it involved many aspects.
The food, clothing, housing, and transportation for a million people were all issues, especially since the town had just increased by 150,000 Orcs, and food was already tight.
There was also the physical health of the little lolis. This was easy to solve. The Gastrea virus was an insurmountable challenge for the people of that world.
But for Zhong Chen, it was no big deal; he didn't even need to act.
As long as Rimuru used Great Sage to analyze the Gastrea virus slightly, a restorative medicine could be developed.
Looking at everyone who had fallen silent, Zhong Chen also felt a bit like sighing.
Accepting a million people all at once was indeed a bit difficult for Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the others.
Just as Zhong Chen was about to say that he would go and assess the situation first, Kagaya Ubuyashiki finally spoke:
"Lord Chen! The biggest problem regarding accepting those Children right now is actually the food issue!"
"The housing problem is easy to solve. Using magic and other methods, plus the labor force of over a hundred thousand Orcs, I think the required houses can be built very quickly!"
"I think it shouldn't be a problem for several Children to live in one room!"
Zhong Chen suddenly realized at this point. He almost forgot that this was a world of magic, and many things could be solved using magic.
Several little lolis living in one room, wasn't that a student dormitory!
This was feasible, and they were all of schooling age. It's just that Shizue would probably have a headache then!
"As for the food problem..."
At this point, Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at Zhong Chen and slowly said:
"Lord Chen! I have a question I'd like to ask you?"
"Speak!"
"I wonder if Lord Chen can still return to our original world?"
Hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Zhong Chen's body trembled, and he immediately understood Kagaya Ubuyashiki's meaning.
Yes! There was no food in this world, so he could go to the Demon Slayer World to get food. Anyway, the system space could hold many things.
Although the Demon Slayer World was only in the period of the First Industrial Revolution, it was still very easy to get enough food there to feed several million people.
As for not having money? I, the dignified Nascent Soul ancestor, am honoring you by taking some food; how dare you ask for money? Do you believe I can slap your entire island into the sea with one palm! (▼ヘ▼#)
Coming back to his senses, Zhong Chen hurriedly replied:
"Yes! I can even bring people with me!"
Hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki finally showed a smile on his face, and then said gently:
"Then the most difficult problem is also solved!"
Seeing Kagaya Ubuyashiki solve the most difficult problems in just a few words, everyone present stared at Kagaya Ubuyashiki with eyes like they were looking at God.
Yaozai! You fellow...
