Chapter Seventeen: Who Enforces the Order?

"Big Brother!" A group of people looked in panic at the bald man who had turned into a popsicle.

"Do you want to know what fire is?" Chu Yunsheng said with a wicked smile. He would never let those idiots who pointed guns at him get away.

The Hexagram Primordial Talisman could quickly mobilize all the primordial energy in the body to defend against a single point of attack. With Chu Yunsheng's ample primordial energy, the bullet from Sister Four barely caused any damage.

Chu Yunsheng released the crossbow, hung it on his shoulder, and calmly drew his pistol, pointing the muzzle at the still-shocked Sister Four.

"Quick, Sister Four, run!" A man in a mask grabbed Sister Four's hand and rushed toward the door!

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

Bang! ... Bang! Two shots rang out, the bullets infused with Chu Yunsheng's pure fire primordial energy, whistling and trailing flames, hit Sister Four's back!

"Ahhh!..." A piercing scream echoed as Sister Four was immediately enveloped in primordial fire. She used all her energy to resist, but she could still feel the uncontrollable flames ravaging her body!

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

One unit of ice arrow could instantly freeze a powerful red-armored beetle, while two units of ice arrows could completely shatter it into pieces.

Two bullets, two units of fire primordial energy, were far beyond what Sister Four, who had just awakened, could withstand. Even with the same type of energy, she could not resist such a level of attack!

The primordial fire spread all over Sister Four's body, her energy resistance completely shattered. She screamed in agony, the sound piercing and heart-wrenching. The kitchen was filled with the smell of burning flesh!

Chu Yunsheng was taken aback by the brutality. When killing insects, he never considered their feelings, but facing a human, even an enemy who wanted to kill him, such a painful and torturous death still made him feel uneasy!

But Chu Yunsheng had no regrets!

This was the end times. If he didn't have some abilities, he might be the one lying on the ground, burning to death! This woman had shot him with fire energy bullets first, and she didn't hesitate when she pulled the trigger!

This was retribution! Chu Yunsheng thought. If he were the one lying on the ground, these people would have no mercy. They were trying to kill him!

Those who don't value others' lives don't deserve sympathy. This was the punishment she deserved!

The primordial fire spread from Sister Four's hand to the masked man's arm. Taking advantage of Chu Yunsheng's momentary shock, the masked man decisively cut off his arm and fled. The rest of his gang, seeing the danger, also scattered, running away without a second thought!

Chu Yunsheng had no intention of chasing them. He wasn't a bloodthirsty demon, and he had already killed two.

The key was that he had just consumed three units of primordial energy. With only two units left in his body, which was not at full capacity, it was necessary to conserve some strength in this city known as the City of Terror, where unpredictable dangers could arise at any moment.

Chu Yunsheng put away his pistol and noticed a row of students and a young woman, presumably their teacher, on the opposite side. He had no interest in dealing with them. Shanghai was full of homeless and starving people.

Looking at Sister Four, who had been burned to ashes, Chu Yunsheng had no appetite to continue eating. But the beef couldn't be wasted. In the dark age, what was most valuable? Food!

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

"Sir, hello!" The female teacher couldn't hold back any longer, seeing Chu Yunsheng preparing to leave with the packed beef.

She and her students had come to this restaurant hoping for some luck. As soon as they entered the hall, they smelled a long-missed aroma. A student with a keen nose even declared it must be beef!

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

In the lawless dark world, these thugs committed all sorts of atrocities!

She remembered her grandmother's stories about the Japanese devils, who were also a bunch of beasts. Girls would deliberately smear soot on their faces to make themselves as ugly as possible, just to avoid being chosen by the Japanese. She never thought that she and her students would have to do the same, using dirty makeup to protect themselves from the unrestrained thugs!

She thought the man eating beef would surely die. She had never seen anyone survive under the bald man's control. Once, a girl resisted the bald man's assault, and her entire family was nailed to the entrance of their neighborhood. The memory still haunted her like a nightmare.

But the outcome completely颠覆ed her expectations. This young man, with his own strength, shot and killed the two main forces of the gang: the bald man and Sister Four. She was so shocked she couldn't describe her feelings.

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

But she had never heard of this man in this area. Who was he?

Of course, these curiosities were not important. What mattered was that this man was about to take the beef hotpot away. She and her students hadn't eaten for over two days.

So she mustered the courage to speak, even if it was just a little food. Xiaoxue had been running a fever for three days, and without any food, she feared her favorite student might not survive.

Chu Yunsheng couldn't imagine her complicated thoughts. In his experience, in such situations, those who spoke were usually begging for food.

His usual strategy was that if you didn't ask, he wouldn't offer. He wasn't a philanthropist, and food was too precious! If you asked, he would consider the situation, but he wasn't naive.

Like now, with over a dozen children and more than twenty pairs of pitiful eyes looking at him and his pot of beef, his hands, which were busy packing, inexplicably stopped. His heart softened, and he sighed, "You want this pot of beef, right? Take it and eat it!"

Chu Yunsheng placed the entire pot in front of them, picked up the alcohol stove, and left, afraid that if he softened again, it would be disastrous.

Chu Yunsheng lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa in the hall, his thoughts in turmoil. The events just now forced him to recognize that the rules of the dark age had changed. Without a government or social morals, many people acted without restraint, relying solely on their strength.

If you were ruthless and powerful, you could oppress others, do any evil, and even take lives. No police would arrest you, no court would sentence you. Everything was in a state of endless chaos.

It was time to change his mindset. If he hadn't had the Hexagram Primordial Talisman, he might already be on the road to the underworld!

Only those with absolute power could establish the new order of the dark age!

Chu Yunsheng flicked the cigarette butt away and thought to himself:

So, he must train harder. Only by becoming strong enough could he avoid being controlled by others and instead control them!
