After observing Lanxi City for a while, Fang Zhen felt the morale of the people here was genuinely higher than in other places.
If you could rate cities by their collective state of mind, some would be oppressive, negative, and anxious. Others might be comfortable and peaceful, while some would be positive, healthy, and proactive.
Lanxi City's style, however, was a kind of transcendent state—calm, yet unafraid of death.
But on second thought, it was understandable. Anyone who managed to survive here had either suffered a cruel misfortune, like having their parents or relatives killed by the aberrations...
...or they were veterans, tempered by countless battles, who were now living out their retirement while training new soldiers.
In any case, Fang Zhen had the utmost respect for the residents of Lanxi City, who could maintain such composure in the face of disaster.
