Chapter 378 Look, there is light in the children's eyes!
As Xue Donglai and his companion approached, the two gatekeepers at the academy entrance blocked their way.
“Look!” Xue Qingcheng replied in a clear voice.
As he spoke, he showed the security guard the ID badge hanging around his neck and his left wrist.
Xue Donglai also took out his ID card, revealing his left wrist.
After checking the identification badges and identity bracelets, the two gatekeepers nodded and said, "The identification information is correct! You are a student of the academy. Welcome to Dragon City Academy!"
The students' ID badges and identity bracelets were all made by Crystal Beast.
These are things that no person or force can forge.
"Thank you!" Xue Qingcheng smiled playfully, looking expectantly at the teaching building in front of her.
She was about to go in when she saw her brother standing there, stunned.
"What's wrong with my brother? Why isn't he going inside?"
Xue Qingcheng looked at her brother in confusion and found that he was looking at the security booth at the entrance.
There were several puppet-like figures in armor, motionless, their eyes empty and lifeless.
"This is..." Xue Qingcheng was startled when she saw the group of people.
“A puppet!” Xue Donglai said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, he gestured towards the group and said, "The two guards from earlier were both fifth-tier experts! And these six puppets, the weakest of whom are fifth-tier, the other two are sixth-tier, and the black-armored figure in the middle is actually at the peak of the seventh tier!"
These people are, of course, puppets controlled by the Queen Bee.
The figure in black armor was Poison Mad, controlled by Xiao Yu.
This was a security department specially arranged by Xiao Yu to be responsible for the safety of the academy and its students.
"Hiss~" Xue Qingcheng covered her mouth and gasped.
Even in the City of Ruins, experts at the fifth, sixth, or seventh rank are considered the backbone of the force.
Unexpectedly, the guards of Longcheng Academy are so powerful.
"This is... even better!" Xue Qingcheng sensed the powerful auras of the group and glanced at the City Lord's Mansion, which was less than a hundred meters away. Her mood suddenly lightened.
Previously, he and his father had some concerns.
Will my younger sister be in danger if she goes to Longcheng to study?
After all, her silly little sister was too naive and innocent.
But now, there is such a strong guard force at the entrance of the academy.
Not far away, there was a group of powerful seventh-tier spirit beasts.
Longcheng Academy is one of the safest places in the world.
My younger sister studies here; it's very safe.
"Welcome to Longcheng Academy, students!" A gentle voice rang out.
Xue Qingcheng turned her head and saw several young men standing in front of her with warm smiles.
"Hello! My name is Zhong Jun, and I am the president of the student council. Welcome to the academy."
"Hello! My name is Ai Chengzu, and I am the vice president of the student council. Welcome to the academy."
"Oh, hello everyone, my name is Xue Qingcheng, this is my brother Xue Donglai, we come from the City of Ruins. It's nice to meet you!" The blonde girl felt their kindness and smiled, revealing two charming dimples.
Although she was naive, she was not inhuman.
Her father forbade her to go out because there were malicious people everywhere.
Even their own ancient city of ruins has been infiltrated by spies and is now very unsafe.
But once she entered Dragon City, Xue Qingcheng discovered that everyone there had a genuine smile.
It made her feel the warmth of home, a feeling only her father and brother had ever given her.
Leading the group was Zhong Jun, the student council president. He smiled and said, "You're all new here and don't know where to go to class yet, right? Follow me, I'll take you there."
As Zhong Jun spoke, he walked toward the teaching building.
"Thank you!" Xue Donglai and his sister nodded immediately and quickly followed.
Ai Chengzhu and the others stayed behind to welcome the other new students.
"The Rules for Students, the teachings of the sages, begin with filial piety and brotherly love, followed by diligence and trustworthiness, love for all people, and closeness to the virtuous. If there is any energy left, then study literature..." As soon as I entered the teaching building, I heard a clear and melodious recitation coming from a classroom.
Xue Qingcheng's eyes lit up. She tiptoed and looked into the classroom, then suddenly grabbed her brother's arm and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother, look! There's light in these children's eyes!"
Xue Donglai also glanced at it and was equally shocked.
The children of the city of ruins have to help their parents with chores from a young age because of the lack of water and food.
Find a way to earn energy stones, find a way to survive.
But because of his humble origins and lack of ability, he could only do manual labor and the most menial jobs.
Some children die of thirst or exhaustion before they even grow up.
Therefore, those children have a hard time not only learning knowledge, but also surviving.
Their eyes were dull, numb, and empty.
There wasn't a trace of the vitality a child should have.
However, the children of Longcheng are completely different.
There is light in their eyes.
It's clear that they are full of hope for the future and for life.
"That's wonderful!" Xue Donglai thought to himself.
He had previously heard Xiao Yu talk about his ideas for the academy.
I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Moreover, it looks like it's done very well.
It's really great that my sister can study here.
"We're here!" The teaching building has three floors. Zhong Jun led the two siblings up to the second floor and walked to the classroom door at the far end before saying, "The first class of the day will be here!"
Xue Donglai and Xue Qingcheng looked inside.
The classroom was found to be very spacious, about 200 square meters.
Rows of wooden tables were fixed to the floor with steel nails.
Behind the wooden table were rows of equally fixed chairs.
A rough count suggests there are approximately 250 seats.
At this moment, there were already more than a hundred people sitting in the classroom.
Zhong Jun pushed open the heavy classroom door and gestured to the two of them, "You two go in first. Once everyone is here, the city lord will be here."
"Okay, thank you!" Xue Qingcheng nodded gratefully.
She remembered this boy with the warm and gentle smile.
She looks to be about the same age as her, maybe even a little younger.
But is this the kind of person Longcheng teaches, who is so generous and proper in his dealings with others?
"Young City Lord, sit here!" As soon as the two entered the room, a cacophony of greetings rang out.
After all, one is the young lord of the city of ruins, and the other is a little princess.
Immediately, someone gave up their seat, offering them the best spot.
Next, children of different ages were brought into the classroom.
soon.
The 250 seats were almost completely full.
Jingle Bell!
A crisp bell rang.
The school bell was Xiao Yu's idea, and the mechanical engineer A Qiu made it.
The next second, a gentle breeze blew by.
A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air here.
"Lord City Lord!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yu appear, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
When Xue Qingcheng saw Xiao Yu appear, she clenched her small fists, equally excited.
"Hello everyone!"
Xiao Yu raised his hand and gestured for everyone to quiet down.
After everyone had calmed down, he scanned the room before speaking, "Does everyone want to know what the world was like before the apocalypse? How did ancient humans live?"
What was the world like before the apocalypse?
