I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

The superpowered individuals in Jiangnan City finally panicked.

They desperately activated their supernatural abilities, trying to break free from the confinement of the Five Elements Rings.

Countless attacks bombarded Old Liu from all directions, as dense as a torrential rain.

But before those attacks could reach Old Liu, they were swallowed up by an invisible giant mouth and vanished completely.

The Five Elements Ring devoured not only superpowers, but also their life force.

"Run! Run!" someone roared as they flew out of the city.

But they had only flown less than a hundred meters when their bodies froze in mid-air, and then plummeted straight down.

"Pat-pat, pat, pat—"

One after another, shriveled corpses crashed to the ground, not even having time to utter a scream.

Liu Zhiqiang held on for only a few breaths before despair appeared in his eyes.

Unwilling to give up, he desperately reached out his hand towards the base.

His only worry was his son at the base.

Zhao Lie stood at the very front, his body crackling with lightning, blue arcs of electricity dancing wildly around him.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding together.

"Old Liu!" Zhao Lie roared hoarsely.

Old Liu did not answer.

He didn't even glance at Zhao Lie.

The Five Elements Ring continued to spin wildly, greedily devouring everything in its path.

Zhao Lie gave a bitter laugh.

He remembered when Jiangnan City was besieged by the beast tide, and these people stood guard on the city wall. He remembered Chen Junjie standing on the snowy plain outside the city, with his white hair, saying, "You have cut off your own path to survival."

It turns out that Chen Junjie wasn't talking about a strange beast, but a person.

"This stupid world," Zhao Lie cursed, his body visibly withering away.

The skin was stuck to the bone, the eyes were sunken, and the lips were chapped.

The thunder subsided, and he collapsed to the ground like a charred log.

Inside the city of Jiangnan, the ground was littered with dried corpses.

Old Liu has regained his former charm.

At this moment, Zhou Yao came over with her several young wives.

She looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, her eyes filled with shock and confusion, but she quickly suppressed it.

Her young wives were even worse off, their bodies trembling.

Old Liu glanced at the trembling women, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

With a casual wave of his hand, several more corpses appeared on the ground in the blink of an eye.

Fatty Li sat by the wall and witnessed everything.

His eyes were dry, without tears, as he watched those familiar faces turn into dried corpses one by one.

Zhao Lie is dead, Liu Zhiqiang is dead, and all the brothers who fought alongside him to defend the city are dead.

His lips slowly cracked open, letting out a hoarse, broken laugh.

"Heh...hehe..."

The laughter echoed through the pile of corpses.

"Humans...this is what humans are like. Humanity...did not die unjustly."

Old Liu glanced at Fatty Li, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

He's a cripple; he's not even qualified to make a move.

"You've taken care of him." Old Liu said, then walked straight towards the underground living area of ​​Jiangnan City.

He sensed that there were still many superhumans underground.

"Old Liu, you made a promise to me..." Zhou Yao asked, looking up.

"Don't worry." Old Liu's voice drifted from afar, carrying a perfunctory gentleness, "They've been brought here."

Zhou Yao nodded, forcing a stiff smile: "Thank you, Elder Liu."

Mr. Liu did not respond further.

The light from the Five Elements Ring disappeared into the underground passage.

Standing against the wall, Fatty Li watched Zhou Yao approach and calmly asked, "You believe him?"

Zhou Yao stood in front of him, looking down at him.

"I believe," she said softly. "I have no other choice but to believe."

Fatty Li gave a wry smile.

Yes, she had no choice.

In the face of absolute power, disobedience means death.

She wasn't truly bad; she was just someone who was afraid of death but had no choice in the matter.

"Any last words?" Zhou Yao asked.

"That's it." Fatty Li chuckled nonchalantly. "Everyone dies. It's just... I think I've forgotten something."

He frowned, trying hard to remember something.

Zhou Yao was taken aback.

She felt the same way.

However, she didn't pay any attention to it.

"Forget it if you've forgotten it," she said. "We've known each other for a while, so I'll leave you with a whole body."

Fatty Li looked up at Zhou Yao's expressionless face and suddenly laughed. His laugh carried a chilling mockery.

"Bitch," he said, "fat man doesn't need charity."

Zhou Yao's face instantly turned cold.

That fatso, even at this point, still has that foul mouth.

She reached out and slapped Fatty Li on the forehead.

"Bang—"

The fat man's head split open, splattering blood and brain matter all over the ground.

His obese body slowly slumped down the corner of the wall.

Zhou Yao's hand froze in mid-air, and she slowly lowered it after a few seconds.

She took a deep breath and was about to turn and leave when a handbag slipped out of Fatty Li's arms and fell to the ground.

Zhou Yao stopped in her tracks.

What could be so important that this fat guy carries around with him?

She knew that Fatty Li was different from the others; he had cultivated his way up from Rank B.

Could there be some secret hidden on his person?

Zhou Yao bent down to pick up the purse and opened it curiously.

There were only two books inside: a property ownership certificate and a vehicle registration certificate.

Zhou Yao was taken aback and opened the property ownership certificate.

The sign reads: Unit 702, East Building 1, Happiness Community, Jiangnan City.

Head of household: Wang Wei.

"Wang Wei?" Zhou Yao frowned.

Who was it? I don't remember.

She then opened the green book—a black Mercedes-Benz S650L, also registered to Wang Wei.

"Hmph." Zhou Yao snorted in disappointment, "Greedy and lustful thing. Even in death, he was carrying these long-useless things with him."

She casually tossed the two notebooks onto Fatty Li's corpse and turned to leave.

The property certificate and the vehicle certificate landed on the fat man's chest, and covered his mouth, rendering him speechless.
