The players do not need to step forward to verify; they can tell from breathing and heartbeat if the child has died. Just a second ago, the child was frantically digging underground to survive, but now only a motionless back is exposed, and the powerful heartbeat disappears within the span of two breaths. At this moment, the entire city seems to fall silent.
The players in Zone 010 are going crazy. They were already suspicious of Little Pink Hat's identity and doubtful whether a newborn actually appeared in Zone 010. They couldn't guess if this newborn would bring them surprise or disaster, but it's no coincidence that Sandy Sea Players and so many players from other zones are here. What they're fighting for is not just the potential hope of Zone 010 but also the long-standing belief that they've upheld. They are carrying the future, the past, and the persistence of those who have died.
