"I am indeed a bad person."
"And he's the worst person in the world."
"I killed my former self, and I killed countless lives... My hands are already stained with blood, but can I stop?"
Li Chen's words were full of sarcasm.
The boy couldn't understand a word. He slowly clenched his fist, bracing himself against the oppressive aura, and tried to punch Li Chen in the thigh.
Suddenly, Li Chen moved his finger, and in an instant, the boy's head spun and he fainted in front of him.
Li Chen slowly returned to the deserted street, looking around at the tranquil world. The rain was getting heavier.
The city is falling faster and faster.
How many people will actually manage to escape...?
Meanwhile, Zero was eating snacks with his mouth wide open.
Cang Yue followed beside her with a smile.
They've come up with countless ways to get snacks, like using tentacles in their bodies to eat eight different flavors of potato chips at once, and as soon as one is finished, the next one comes.
They seemed to be thoroughly enjoying their meal.
Ling lay on the tentacle and asked, "Yue, why is it that even though so many humans are starving and freezing, they still have the ability to create such interesting food?"
Cang Yue licked her lollipop and laughed, "Because of human Greed, the richer people are, the more likely they are to exploit ordinary people."
"When there are many poor people, there will be those who don't have enough to eat or wear."
"And I call them 'poor people'."
Ling frowned, ignoring the potato chips that were offered to her, and asked again, "If they're already starving and freezing, why are they still being exploited?"
"And as humans, with so many Eerie Monsters watching us from the outside world, why do they still fight amongst themselves?"

After saying this, Ling looked at Cang Yue with a puzzled expression, and the crisp sound of potato chips coming from her mouth also came out.
Cang Yue sat gracefully on the tentacle, pondering this question. After all, it was no longer about individuals, but about the intricate connections between countless human societies.
Ultimately, it's a matter of the survival of the fittest.
The strong allocate resources, while the weak merely survive under the protection of the strong.
But they are also quite different.
Unlike Eerie Monsters that only possess a single consciousness, human society has emotions, which is what makes humans unique.
Unlike Eerie Monsters that only know how to eat, they possess intelligence and emotions.
This is the root cause of all the problems.
Cang Yue couldn't answer either.
After all, she couldn't even understand emotions.
Zero pondered his question for two seconds before replying, "Forget it, it's all human affairs, what does it have to do with us?"
"As long as we follow in our My Lord's footsteps and kill all of humanity step by step, they will be out of the picture." Suddenly, he seemed to be thinking about something very serious and muttered to himself: No... I still need to leave one or two, otherwise there won't be any potato chips left... But will the Lord leave them?
"Do you expect me to secretly..."
Cang Yue stood to the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Although Zero possesses many human memories, he won't absorb them easily. After all, they are too vast and numerous. If he absorbs too many, he will suddenly short-circuit like Zai and become an idiot.
Therefore, he will not search his memories unless there are special circumstances, unless Li Chen needs the memories in his mind, in which case he might make a move.
Normally, they wouldn't even dare to interfere with a disaster.
At this moment, Cang Yue stood up, picked up the red umbrella beside her, and said, "That's about it."
"It should be over soon in the outside world."
After all, this is just a small city. If it were a city like Magic City, even a few Calamity Realm plus the Eerie Tide might not be able to conquer it in a day.
Forget about the Imperial Capital; that's where the Special Affairs Bureau headquarters is located, and where Order of Justice exist.
This city was simply a matter of bad luck; Li Chen happened to encounter it right after leaving the Sinful Pass.
Ling looked shocked and cried out, "Ah, Yue was waiting for me!"
I still have so many potato chips I haven't eaten yet!
"It wouldn't be good if my My Lord saw us if we went out!"
Cang Yue sighed, a red light shone around her eyes, and her pupils swirled like a vortex, instantly sucking in all the packaged potato chips crammed together.
Zero was overjoyed. His tentacles began moving the potato chips from the surrounding counters, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Yue is decorating!!"
"I'm afraid it won't be enough, let's split it evenly when we get out... no, 73 points..."
Cang Yue said irritably, "Do you really think I'm a plastic bag?"
Finally, under Ling's tearful gaze, Cang Yue gave in. After all, he was Li Chen's subordinate, and the only one she could have some common ground with.
When the two walked out, the outside world was deserted.
They could even see Yu sitting on the edge of the building, wiping his large knife, with a mountain of Sequence User corpses piled up behind him.
Zai sat gracefully to the side, admiring the scenery.
Li Chen stood between the two, his long hair blowing in the wind, his black coat billowing open, his gaze looking down at the shattered city.
It seems like it's all over.
At this moment, Zero also came up, ran to Li Chen's side, and said, "Master!"
"All tasks are complete!"
Zero's voice interrupted Li Chen's thoughts. He turned to look at the two people who had come up, said "Not bad," and then looked at Cang Yue, asking, "Tell me, which city is connected to Huizhou City?"
Cang Yue strode over to Li Chen's side and smiled, "Raccoon City, of course I don't recommend that you launch Eerie Tide to attack it now."
"After all, now that you've appeared, all of humanity knows about you."
"Huizhou City has suffered such a calamity. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another counterattack at dawn tomorrow. Human reinforcements are coming."
They will not give up an inch of land.
"After all, we're inland now, and the cities are all interconnected. It's impossible for you to take a piece of our territory so easily."
Li Chen fell into thought.
Cang Yue was right. The reason why inland cities are easy to conquer is precisely because there are so many. With so many cities, there are fewer strong individuals to be assigned, which is why they can easily take over a city. It's not that humans don't want to resist, but that they are waiting for reinforcements.
When reinforcements arrive, it signals the start of humanity's counterattack and the beginning of a great war.
But Li Chen wasn't that foolish.
Take your time; you can't get fat in one bite.
Moreover, he possesses an endless array of Eerie Monsters from the outside world, so there's no need for him to wage a direct war against humanity. He can choose to slowly wear them down, unless Supreme Being comes. But Li Chen can still give it a shot.
After all, as someone in the Calamity Realm, he gradually came to know the limits of the strength of the Wasteland Realm experts, and was able to roughly compare his own strength with that of the Wasteland Realm experts.
If you can't win, running away is fine.
But what if several people come at once?
This is the problem: he is not afraid of the Calamity Realm experts coming to the city, but he is wary of the Wasteland Realm experts attacking, and the Order of Justice should also be watching him.
Perhaps this support is the arrival of Order of Justice.
At this moment, Cang Yue seemed to have guessed Li Chen's concerns, and carefully walked to Li Chen's ear and whispered a few words.
"We can do it like this..."
