Chapter 17 - 17

 "Big brother!" A group of people looked at the frozen bald man in panic.

"Do you want to know what fire is?" Chu Yunsheng said with an evil grin. He would never let go of those idiots who pointed guns at him, thinking they were superior.

The Liujia Yuanfu could quickly mobilize the Qi from his entire body to concentrate on defense against such a single-point attack. With his current abundance of Qi, the bullet from Sister Four barely caused him any harm.

Chu Yunsheng released the crossbow, hanging it on his shoulder, and calmly pulled out his pistol, pointing it at the still shocked Sister Four.

"Sister Four, run!" A masked man grabbed Sister Four's hand and rushed towards the door.

"Can't fight, so you want to run?" Chu Yunsheng thought, "You have to outrun the bullets!"

Bang! ... Bang! Two shots, carrying Chu Yunsheng's pure fire Qi bullets, roared with flames, hitting Sister Four's back.

"Ah!..." A shrill scream, Sister Four was instantly surrounded by elemental fire. She tried to resist with all her energy but still felt the unstoppable flames ravaging her body.

The two bullets Chu Yunsheng fired this time were different from his previous pistol shots. They were fully infused with Qi, each bullet containing at least one unit of Qi!

One unit of a Cold Ice Arrow could instantly freeze a strong Red-Shelled Beetle, and two units of Cold Ice Arrow could completely shatter it into pieces.

So, two bullets, two units of elemental fire bullets, were more than what Sister Four, who had just awakened, could withstand. Even if it was the same type of energy, she couldn't resist such a level of attack!

The elemental fire engulfed Sister Four's body, her energy resistance crumbled, and she screamed in agony, chilling to the bone. The entire kitchen was filled with the smell of burning flesh.

Chu Yunsheng didn't expect it to be so brutal, and he was stunned. When killing bugs, he never considered their feelings, but facing humans, even enemies ready to kill him, such a painful and torturous death still made him feel shocked.

But Chu Yunsheng had no regrets!

This might be the end of the world. If he didn't have some abilities, he might be the one lying on the ground, being burned alive!

This woman had used fire energy bullets to shoot at him first! And she didn't hesitate when she fired!

It was karma! Chu Yunsheng thought, if he were the one lying on the ground, these people probably wouldn't have any mercy. They were originally planning to kill him!

People who don't value others' lives don't deserve sympathy. Such an end is the punishment she deserved.

The elemental fire spread from Sister Four's hand to the masked man's arm. Taking advantage of Chu Yunsheng's momentary distraction, the masked man decisively chopped off his arm and fled. The rest of his gang, facing an enemy as dangerous as a Red-Shelled Beetle, chose to run, scattering like birds and beasts, leaving none behind.

Chu Yunsheng didn't plan to chase them. He wasn't a bloodthirsty devil, and he had already killed two. Moreover, he had just consumed three units of Qi, and with his Qi not being full to begin with, he only had two units left. In Shencheng, known as the City of Terror, it was necessary to retain some strength for the unpredictable dangers that could arise at any time.

Chu Yunsheng put away his pistol and noticed a row of students and a young woman, presumably their teacher, across from him. He didn't have the heart to deal with them, as Shencheng was full of homeless and hungry people.

Looking at the charred remains of Sister Four, Chu Yunsheng had no appetite to continue eating, but he couldn't waste the beef. In the Dark Age, what was the most valuable? Food!

He found some utensils to pack the beef into the Wunai Yuanfu, not worrying about spoilage, to enjoy later.

"Hello, sir!" Seeing Chu Yunsheng preparing to pack up and leave, the female teacher across from him couldn't help but speak up.

She and her students had come to the restaurant to try their luck, and as soon as they entered the hall, they smelled the久违的 aroma of beef. A student with a keen sense of smell even declared it must be beef.

So they came in without hesitation, followed by another group of fierce people. She recognized the bald man, a local bully who gathered a gang of men and women, relying on their numbers to act tyrannically.

In this disordered dark world, these thugs were like beasts, committing all sorts of evil deeds!

She remembered her grandmother's stories about the Japanese devils during her childhood. Girls would deliberately smear their faces with soot from the bottom of the pot to look as ugly as possible, fearing being targeted by the Japanese. Unexpectedly, now she and her students had to smear their faces with dirty paint, not for the Japanese, but to guard against these unrestrained thugs!

She thought the man eating beef would surely die. She had never seen anyone survive under the bald man's hands. Once, a girl resisted the bald man's assault, and her entire family was crucified at the entrance of the community, a nightmare she couldn't forget.

But the outcome overturned all her assumptions. This young man, with just his own strength, consecutively killed the two main forces of the gang: the bald man and Sister Four. She was so shocked that she couldn't describe her feelings in words.

She knew there were some superhumans, and her students often asked her why, but she couldn't explain.

However, in this neighborhood, she had never heard of this man's existence. Who was he?

Of course, these curiosities were not important. What mattered was that this man was about to pack up the beef hotpot and leave. She and her students hadn't eaten for more than two days.

So she mustered the courage to speak, hoping for even a small amount of food. Xiao Xue had been feverish for three days, and without any more food, she feared her favorite student might not make it.

Chu Yunsheng couldn't imagine her chaotic thoughts. In his experience, in such situations, people who spoke up were usually asking for food.

His usual strategy was that if you didn't ask, he would never generously offer food. He wasn't a philanthropist; food was a precious commodity! If you asked, he would consider the situation, and he wasn't naive.

Just now, a dozen children, over twenty pairs of eyes pitifully looking at him and his pot of beef, his hands busy packing suddenly stopped for no reason. In the end, his heart softened, and he sighed, "You want this pot of beef, right? Take it and eat!"

Chu Yunsheng placed the entire pot across from them, picked up the spirit stove, and left. He was afraid that if he softened his heart again, it would be unbearable.

Chu Yunsheng lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa in the hall, his emotions unsettled. The recent events forced him to recognize that in the dark age, human rules had changed. Without the state machinery, without social morality, many people acted recklessly, speaking solely based on their strength.

If you were ruthless and powerful, you could oppress others, commit any evil deeds, even harvest other people's lives. No police would arrest you, no court would judge you, everything fell into boundless disorder.

It was time to change his mindset. Like just now, if he didn't have the protective armor, he might already be on the road to the underworld!

Only those with absolute strength could establish a new order in the dark age!

Chu Yunsheng flicked the cigarette butt away fiercely, thinking to himself:

So, he had to hurry up and cultivate himself. Only by becoming strong enough could he not be subject to others' order but order others instead!
