Chapter 1 Is This a Fight?
"Is this...a fight?"
Wan Lei stared blankly at the scene before him.
"Looks like it. Look, they're setting the city on fire. I wonder if the good guys or the bad guys are winning."
"I think we can go over there now. We'll see who's winning and join them. With our combat power, we should become their leaders without any mishaps. Then we'll divide up the territory, rule this city, and develop our own forces based here.
Our forces will grow stronger and stronger, conquering everywhere. Eventually, the entire planet will be ours."
"Yes, chaos is opportunity. We must seize this opportunity.
But I think we should join the side that's losing. It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but hard to offer charcoal in the snow.
If you join the winning side, they won't remember your kindness. If we can lead the losing side to turn the tables, we can maximize our prestige."
"Good idea, that's why you're my wife. Let's go."
"Okay."
"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't enter the city at this time."
Just as the two were about to set off, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind them.
The two were shocked. They didn't expect that someone could approach them silently. With their vigilance, they didn't even hear footsteps. How terrifying this person must be.
The two turned around and saw a young man standing up from a bush behind them.
The young man had blond hair and blue eyes, and very white skin. His golden hair was casually draped over his shoulders, appearing lazy and noble.
But his clothes were very tattered, dirty, and full of patches.
"Who are you? How did you manage to approach us silently?"
Wan Lei narrowed his eyes, and the hand holding the hammer handle began to tighten.
"What?"
The young man frowned slightly.
"I've been lying here the whole time. For about a quarter of an hour."
Oh, so that's how it is. I thought someone could really approach me silently.
Young Master Lei felt a little relieved.
"By the way, you said we shouldn't enter the city at this time. What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning. The city is too chaotic right now. There's burning, killing, and looting everywhere. People have turned into beasts, with greed and revenge occupying all their reason. Entering at this time is just courting death."
"Is it really that chaotic? Can you tell me more about what's going on? Are the good guys or the bad guys winning?"
Hearing this, the young man chuckled.
"There are no good guys or bad guys anymore. There's only one kind of person in the city now: evil people."
"What do you mean?"
"You're probably a good person. You probably don't understand the ugliness in the hearts of people at the lowest level."
The young man's eyes focused, but his face was smiling as he looked at Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu.
His eyes lingered on Fang Xiaoyu for half a second before continuing to look at the city.
"No, we're bad guys, just like you."
Wan Lei opened his jacket, letting the other party see the tattered clothes inside.
He saw that the other party was wearing tattered clothes and thought about getting closer to him to get more information.
Nothing could gain sympathy better than having the same identity.
"Tch."
The young man sneered and glanced at Wan Lei mockingly.
"Kid, don't be so naive. Do you really think you can change your identity by putting on a few clothes?
Clothes are the easiest thing to change. A person's temperament is revealed in their gestures. You two look like you haven't suffered much. Your domineering aura and vigilance, plus the weapon in your hand, show that you're a battle-hardened warrior.
Your wife's arrogance and nobility show that she's from a big family. And with her stunning beauty, if she were a bad guy, she wouldn't have lived this long.
Take me, for example. Don't you only think I'm a bad guy because of my clothes? But do you know that I killed a bad guy and stole these clothes to hide my identity and escape from the city while it was in chaos?"
"Oh, so you're a good person."
Young Master Lei followed up and became a good person again.
"Yes, let me introduce myself. My name is Karen Monster, you can call me Monster."
"Okay, Karen, my name is Wan Lei, this is my lover."
Karen didn't pay attention to Wan Lei's words and continued,
"Yesterday, I don't know where you were, but you definitely weren't in the city, and you're not locals. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so calm when you heard the name Monster.
People suddenly discovered that all the sins and merits on their bodies had disappeared. At first, people were panicked and didn't dare to act rashly.
Until two bold bad guys stood up and beat the good guy who had been driving them to work to death, and they didn't find any sins appearing on their bodies, and the other party didn't have any extraordinary power from beginning to end.
Since then, all the bad guys, like cats that have tasted blood, began to attack the good guys crazily.
The good guys naturally resisted desperately.
But you should know that once this kind of thing starts, no one can stop it.
The bad guys used the name of resisting the good guys to burn, kill, and loot. They robbed the good guys of their property and food, killed the good guys' men, and raped the good guys' women, venting their bestial desires in the name of revenge.
At first, it was the good guys and the bad guys fighting, but later, some people went to find their enemies and attacked people who were also good guys. They also found that no matter whether they killed good guys or bad guys, no merit or sin would appear.
The great chaos began.
The good guys attacked the good guys, and the bad guys formed some small groups and fought each other because of the uneven distribution of spoils.
The good guys coveted other people's property and women. Some pretended to be bad guys to attack, and some were too lazy to even pretend and attacked directly.
Now, the good guys and the bad guys are fighting, the good guys and the good guys are fighting, and the bad guys and the bad guys are fighting.
All order has collapsed. When the constraints of order are lost, only the most primitive desires remain.
And the most heavily affected in the city is the city lord's family.
The city lord is the richest, the family is the largest, and there are the most beautiful women.
And I, the Monster family, am the city lord's family.
Now you understand why I want to disguise myself as a bad guy and escape, right? If people know that I am from the Monster family, they will eat me alive."
Speaking of this, Karen glanced at Fang Xiaoyu,
"Think about it, if a beautiful woman like your wife enters the city and is seen by those crazy people, you don't need me to say what the result will be."
Karen's words made Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu shudder. It was ridiculous that they had dreamed of ruling the entire city. If they really went in, they would probably be devoured alive by those evil people.
"Then where should we go now?"
"Where to go? Anyway, don't go to the city...
Wait, what's that?"
Karen, who habitually looked up at the sky when speaking, suddenly froze.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu looked up and saw a large fireball, dragging a long black smoke trail, falling rapidly towards them.
