Eternal Night

Chapter 218 Smiling
Wu Xianxiao stayed in Yantian City for 20 days. During this time, he lived a very comfortable life. Every day he played with birds, walked dogs, practiced boxing, ate, and played games...

That's right, just play games.

Although this era is the end of the world, it is the end of the 25th century. Before the start of the Third World War, human technology was already very advanced. Although we cannot say that we have colonized the entire solar system, there are colonial cities on the moon. Similar to Mars, there are also forward bases on Jupiter's moon. Unfortunately, when the Third World War came, these early colonial cities or bases were completely destroyed by the enemy.

However, in terms of technology alone, it is even more advanced than Wu Xianxiao's previous dream world. It is similar to electronic game consoles and the like. Although they are all pre-war antiques, they can still be purchased as long as you have enough money.

Wu Xianxiao played these games that were the future for him. For example, he had a lot of fun playing a horizontal scrolling game, in which a character was a warrior with a bird and a dog, holding a broken sword and constantly slashing people...

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye. Apart from the time Wu Xianxiao spent playing games, he spent the rest of the time practicing boxing and martial arts. He did not feel bored. The feeling of slowly becoming stronger was really intoxicating. Moreover, he had enough motivation to become stronger. Whether it was a few big guys who were paying attention to him, the revenge he wanted, or the pursuit of his lost companions, all of these required strength!
Although he has not yet advanced to the level of Gangqi in Chinese martial arts, Wu Xianxiao can already feel the improvement in his control over Qi.

There has been progress in both the Human Immortal Martial Arts and the Iron Refining Record. Both require spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The only pity is that there is too little spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy emitted by the spiritual core in his hand is getting less and less. Although it is still endless, there is no doubt that this means that it needs Wu Xianxiao to kill in order to continue to supply spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Wu Xianxiao was neither a murderer nor a devil, so it was impossible for him to just run out and kill people indiscriminately. He was waiting for the attacks from the Mercenaries' Guild and the Researchers' Guild, but twenty days had passed and there had been no attacks. This really puzzled him.

The attack did not come, but Li Xianchun came to Yantian City with Li Mucha and four followers.

"Did you do something!?"

The first thing Li Xianchun did when he saw Wu Xianxiao was to question him.

"What!? What did I do?" Wu Xianxiao asked in a daze.

Li Xianchun stared at Wu Xianxiao and asked, "What have you been doing these days?"

Wu Xianxiao looked at the game console in the living room, then at the iron doll in the practice room and said, "Eat, sleep, practice, play games...what else?"

Li Xianchun stared at Wu Xianxiao for a long while before he heaving a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I was wrong."

Wu Xianxiao asked a few people to sit down and served drinks to them. He also took a bottle of beer and opened the bottle cap with his finger while drinking and asked, "So? What happened?"

Li Xianchun sighed and said, "The Security Guild has been disbanded, and the leaders of the Mercenary Guild and the Researcher Guild have disappeared. Now the order outside is in chaos. When I came here, the leaders of the two major guilds said that they would announce the truth about the demon who massacred the Security Guild today..."

"puff!"

Wu Xianxiao spit out a mouthful of beer. He looked at Li Xianchun stupidly and said, "No, the Security Guild is not a good thing. How can we become a demon if we destroy it?"

Li Xianchun's eyes immediately became sharp and he stared at Wu Xianxiao, while Li Mucha and the other three looked at Wu Xianxiao with confusion and shock on their faces.

Wu Xianxiao did not say anything. He stood up and turned on the TV and said, "So how are they going to announce it? Radio? Television? They can't just hand out flyers on the street or send out storytellers, right?"

As Wu Xianxiao turned on the TV, he saw a man and a woman talking about something similar to the news broadcast on the Mercenary Guild Channel. In the background, a series of videos were playing. In the videos, there were all kinds of determined and brave soldiers. They were holding guns, throwing grenades, and leaning on tank armor, attacking the unknown existence in front of them.

Then the image of Wu Xianxiao began to appear in these videos. He had a ferocious look on his face, holding an unknown big knife in his hand, and chopped all the brave soldiers into pieces, including the tanks. Behind him was a burning steel fortress...

This pure murderous devil is slaughtering human cities!
"No, I...no! It's not like that!" Wu Xianxiao pointed at the screen and shouted.

Li Xianchun stared at Wu Xianxiao and asked, "Didn't you do this?"

Wu Xianxiao immediately nodded and shook his head and said, "I did it. A real man should not change his name or surname. This is what I did, but I didn't have that kind of expression. Besides, those soldiers all fled in panic and shot their own people. It's not like that at all, okay!?"

Li Xianchun ignored him and asked anxiously, "So you really destroyed the headquarters of the Security Guild?"

"Yes, but..."

Wu Xianxiao flipped through the channels on the TV station and turned to the Researchers Guild's channel. As expected, it was full of videos and screenshots of him killing people, as well as pictures of the women and children in the steel fortress, their miserable cries, their tragic dead bodies, etc...

Li Xianchun said with a face full of misery: "It's over now... Do you know the situation outside? With the collapse of the Security Guild, the three strongest armies of the Security Guild have started a civil war with each other. A large number of people in their war zones have suffered heavy casualties and have been displaced. That's fine, but with the collapse of the Security Guild, the top leaders of the Mercenary Guild and the Researcher Guild have disappeared. Although there has not been a civil war in these two guilds, their functional systems have been completely shut down. Except for Yantian City, all cities and towns outside can no longer exchange pure fresh water, and can no longer buy medicine and food from the two major guilds. At the same time, the armed forces of the two major guilds have also begun a large-scale retreat, and a large number of biochemical beasts have begun to wreak havoc. In the time I have been here, I know that there are no less than a hundred villages, towns, and cities that have been destroyed!! "

"I estimate that today alone, the death toll in the entire human society may reach 100,000!! And now, the pure water exchange and various guild functions in Yantian City have all stopped. Do you understand what this means!?"

Wu Xianxiao fell silent. After a few seconds, he put the broken sword on his back, waved to Jiujiu, put Jiujiu in his pocket, touched Daphne's dog head as she walked over, turned around and walked out of the hotel room.

Li Xianchun was horrified. She rushed forward and grabbed Wu Xianxiao's clothes and said, "No! I know you are powerful, like a god or a devil, and you can even defeat the Security Guild, but those outside are just ordinary people. They don't know the inside story, they just want to survive!" Li Mucha and the other three were all confused. They had no idea what was going on. They only knew that Wu Xianxiao picked the strongest security guild among the three guilds. But why did Li Xianchun feel so bad?

Wu Xianxiao just said nothing and dragged Li Xianchun out of the hotel. Then he saw crowds of people on the street. There were mercenaries with weapons, lone wolves driving tanks, ordinary people who were trembling all over but still looking at him with hatred, and farmers from outside the city who were in tattered clothes. They all stared at Wu Xianxiao.

There were so many people, it seemed as if everyone in the entire city had arrived.

Wu Xianxiao walked past the group of people with an expressionless face, and he walked towards the city gate step by step.

"devil!"

"Can super soldiers just kill people indiscriminately?"

"…What savior? There is no savior!!"

"Murderer!"

"I just want a bucket of water, just a bucket of water..."

"My son is sick and needs medicine, but there is no medicine to sell, no medicine to sell..."

I don't know who spoke first, and then the insults, crying, and wailing echoed throughout the city.

A stone, a rotten egg, a pile of feces...

Wu Xianxiao simply broke those hard and heavy objects one by one to prevent them from hitting the five people behind him, but he took in all the filth, and Li Xianchun and the others were drenched like maggots in a cesspool. Li Mucha and the other four wanted to leave them behind quickly, but Li Xianchun, with a firm look on his face, held his sister tightly and continued to walk behind Wu Xianxiao.

There were only a few streets, and even with Wu Xianxiao's care, Li Xianchun and his four companions were still hit hard and bleeding, and they almost had to jog forward with their heads down.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the threat from Wu Xianxiao's massacre of the Security Guild, no one used weapons, and no one dared to attack with chariots, tanks, etc. They walked out of the city gate amidst the filth and insults, and then a group of people ran up and pushed the city gate at the same time, blocking Wu Xianxiao and his men outside.

"……let's go."

Li Xianchun, whose head was bleeding, dared to look up at this moment. She wiped the dirt off her face and almost vomited. However, she was really strong. She held back the tears in her eyes, clenched her fists tightly, and whispered, "Let's go back to Liusha Town... No, let's go back to our hometown. We'll make plans there."

Li Mucha burst into tears at this time. She grabbed her sister's hand and cried very aggrievedly, but gradually, her crying stopped, because a terrible pressure was erupting from Wu Xianxiao, which even ordinary people could feel clearly, so that Li Mucha, Wangwang, Tizi, and Big Brother did not even dare to make a sound.

Then they saw Wu Xianxiao smile.

It was an extremely hideous smile. Although it was still a human face, this smile made them tremble in their hearts, as if they had seen the most terrifying demon.

Li Xianchun immediately pounced on Wu Xianxiao again, holding him tightly and shouting, "Don't attack them, they are just..."

"I know."

Wu Xianxiao said, "I won't attack them, because they are innocent. Even if they do this to me now, it is actually me who implicates them. One thing for one, one for another. This is what I deserve. Besides... if I draw my sword against the weak, wouldn't my martial arts skills be wasted?"

Li Xianchun asked anxiously again: "Who are you targeting?"

Wu Xianxiao looked forward and said word by word: "Whoever is stronger will be attacked. Revenge should be taken, and grievances should be taken. One thing should be treated separately, and besides..."

"Life will find a way out. It's impossible for a person to die from suffocation. When the time comes..."

"There will be great scholars here to interpret the scriptures for me. I am looking forward to how they will redeem everything that is happening now."

Wu Xianxiao's smile became more and more intense, and the sinister laugh burst out.

The sound shook the world.
