Eden.

The word came from Wells' mouth, causing Li Tianran to sink into deep thought.

The Book of Genesis in the Old Testament of the Bible records that God, Jehovah, created mankind's ancestors, Adam, in his own image, and then created Eve from Adam's rib, placing the couple in the Garden of Eden.

In the original Hebrew, Eden means paradise, referring to the paradise created by God for Adam and Eve in the Bible, and is later used as a metaphor for a happy and beautiful living environment.

Legend has it that the ground in the Garden of Eden was covered with gold, pearls, and red agate. All kinds of trees grew from the ground, covered with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, which were very beautiful.

The fruits on the trees could also be used as food, and there were also the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the garden.

There was also a river flowing through the garden, nourishing the earth.

The river was divided into four streams surrounding Eden: the first river was called Pishon, which surrounded the entire land of Havilah; the second river was called Gihon, which surrounded the entire land of Cush; the third river was called Tigris, which flowed past Assyria; and the fourth river was the Euphrates.

As a gift from God, the five grains were abundant without rain.

In short, it was a paradise that everyone dreamed of. Anything anyone wanted could be satisfied in the Garden of Eden!

It was the most beautiful paradise on earth.

But the world had already undergone earth-shattering changes. Resources were scarce, and cold and famine were everywhere. People were already struggling to survive. How could there be a paradise like the "Garden of Eden" with all kinds of resources?

Suddenly, Li Tianran seemed to realize something, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Perhaps what Wells' superior was talking about was not that there was such a Garden of Eden somewhere in the world, but that their criminal gang wanted to create such a Garden of Eden!

In a world of famine, all they needed to do was seize enough food and a large amount of living resources, transport them to a certain place, and then build a high line of defense to isolate themselves from the world, blocking those who had lost their food outside the walls. Then the people inside the walls would enjoy all kinds of rare resources and food. Even if more people died in the world, it would not affect the people inside the walls!

In this way, wouldn't it be the Garden of Eden that people dream of for the people inside the walls?

Li Tianran was taken aback by his own thought, but then, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very close to the truth.

Otherwise, why would the grain seized in Nancheng be transported thousands of miles to H city and shipped away by cargo ship?

It must be shipped abroad!

It was even possible that it was going to the European Union, which was preparing to go to war with the Yanhuang Federation!

"Who is your superior?" Li Tianran asked in a deep voice.

"His name is David Knoll, but I can't contact him. All our calls are initiated by him." Wells took a deep breath and said slowly, "You can't find him. Although he has been remotely controlling my work, according to my guess, he may not even be in Yanhuang territory at all. He may be in the European Union now!"

"These Yanhuang people were all temporarily hired by me... If I am at the bottom of the group, then they are a group of cannon fodder who are not even at the bottom! Hehehe..."

Sure enough!

These people are robbing grain to transport it to the European Union!

Moreover, the headquarters of this criminal gang is likely to be in a certain department of the European Union. This is a transnational criminal group!

In addition to robbing grain, they may also be robbing other important supplies!

Li Tianran gritted his teeth secretly.

Although there will not be a major food shortage in Yanhuang territory in the short term, the European Union has already begun to create friction with Yanhuang, and I believe that the confrontation of various means will begin soon.

As the old saying goes, soldiers and horses do not move, food and grass go first, which has already shown that in the confrontation between the two countries, food is the most indispensable material.

But now Wells and his gang are actually going to transport the grain robbed in Yanhuang territory to the European Union!

Unacceptable!

"Do you know that Yanhuang is going to war with the European Union?" Li Tianran looked at the bandits kneeling next to him without any expression. They had black hair and brown skin, and were obviously of Yanhuang descent. "The blood of Yanhuang flows in your bodies, but now you are helping these European Union people rob your own people's grain. Are you still worthy of being human?"

The bandits were extremely ashamed when they heard this, and lowered their heads without saying a word.

"Yanhuang territory has been working hard to stabilize the situation and distribute relief grain, not wanting anyone to die of hunger... Perhaps you and your family have also received those grains, but it is a pity that the country's relief grain has raised a group of wolf cubs like you!" Li Tianran scolded mercilessly, and then said word by word: "You all deserve to die!"

The bandits of Yanhuang nationality were extremely panicked when they heard this, and two of them were even frightened to tears on the spot.

"I was bewitched, please give me a chance!"

"I will never be a lackey of foreigners again!"

Li Tianran took a deep breath. He wanted to say something more, but there were fierce footsteps and gasps behind him.

The self-defense team members have arrived.

"Their fate!"

Li Tianran stood up and said to the self-defense team members, "Is up to you to decide."

The self-defense team members stared at the bandits kneeling on the ground with red eyes, full of hatred, and their breathing became heavier and heavier.

"We are all Yanhuang people, please spare us this time, okay? I kowtow to you!"

"Whatever you want, as long as we have it, we can give it to you!"

"Please!"

The bandits looked at the self-defense team members who wanted to tear them apart and couldn't help but shiver. They had never seen such hateful eyes, as if they wanted to skin them alive!

"Now you know to beg for mercy?" At this moment, Wang Bing rushed to a dark-skinned, afro-haired bandit with extremely accurate aim, grabbed his hair, inserted the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, his forehead veins bulging, and roared in an almost hysterical voice: "When you killed my dad, he was also kneeling on the ground begging you, did you spare him? Huh? He was already seventy years old, what threat did he pose to you? Why did you have to kill him? Do you know how I felt when I watched the surveillance footage?"

The bandit's pupils shrank to the extreme.

He remembered that three days ago, when they robbed a flour mill, because he saw an old man with a slightly unpleasant appearance, he casually shot the old man in the thigh. The old man was covered in blood and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, but he was very excited at the time and enjoyed the feeling of controlling life and death.

He threw out a bunch of keys, asking the old man to pick them up like a dog. The old man, in order to survive, dragged his injured leg and limped with all his strength to pick up the keys, his eyes full of hope.

But the next moment, he still fired.

He never intended to let the other party go. The reason why he asked the old man to pick up the keys was to play a cat-and-mouse game, wanting to enjoy the pleasure of giving the other party hope and then destroying it with his own hands!

"I was still worried just now, worried that you would die in our first round of attack!" Wang Bing's face was full of tears, his face twisted ferociously, and he stuck to the bandit's ear: "But God has eyes and let you survive, giving me a chance to avenge myself. If you fall into my hands, I will make you feel a hundred times more terrifying torture than death!"
