《Love Code at the End of the World》Book 3, Chapter 50 - The Law of The Jungle
Advertisement
Our previous transporting vehicle, which had also been the flying vehicle that Harry and the other guys had driven to Blue Shield City before, hadn’t had imaging technology either. Back then, resources had been limited, prompting them to save as much energy as possible. In short, they had used as few pieces of equipment as possible when they assembled a flying vehicle, so that they could keep the weight of the vehicle light.
“Let’s go and lure the fish out.” Harry smirked. Our Snowstorm took off from the ground.
If Blue Shield City’s spaceship was as shabby as He Lei’s, we didn’t need to be worried at all. Snowstorm’s speed could easily shake them off.
However, Silver Moon City had given them a few good spaceships. That was why Pink Baby could tell that ours used Silver Moon City’s technology.
Blue Shield City seemed to have gained many great things as part of Silver Moon City’s favor towards them.
Similarly, they had become Silver Moon City’s warehouse on land. They regularly sent resources as well as powerful metahumans to Silver Moon City.
Yeah, the metahumans on land could enter Silver Moon City via Blue Shield City. The only thing was that one might not be chosen by Silver Moon City. In recent years, it was said that the requirement to be chosen by Silver Moon City had become stricter. It could be said that only the strongest among the strong would be chosen.
“I heard from He Lei that Ghost Eclipsers are expanding their forces.” I looked at everyone in the cabin.
Arsenal’s expression became solemn. “If that’s true, we can’t just sit and wait.”
“I heard that there are many metahumans among Ghost Eclipsers, with all kinds of superpowers. Which means that they are all-rounded.” Ming You looked worried.
“Because Ghost Eclipsers are on the other side of the planet, the people on our side are living too peacefully and loosening our guard against them.” Raffles turned around again, returning to his normal manner. He looked at Harry with concern. “Should we report it to Elder Alufa when we return and start making preparations?”

Harry furrowed his eyebrows and nodded. “I never expected them to expand so quickly. It doesn’t make sense. The radiation circles are so huge. If they want to expand, they have to march across the entire land. This would require a large number of spaceships, resources and energy. Where would they find such great resources?”
“Unless, they’ve found a blue crystal energy mine!” Raffles’ face was pale.
The mood in the cabin instantly grew tense. When a fascist controlled the most important energy source, it was no doubt a disaster for the rest of the world. If Germany had created an atomic bomb, the layout of the entire world would have changed tremendously.
“I hope that’s not true.” Xiao Ying patted her chest nervously. “It wouldn’t be true. It wouldn’t be. It definitely wouldn’t. If there is a blue crystal energy mine, how would Silver Moon not know?”
“That’s right. Silver Moon City would definitely know,” Ming You said anxiously too.
“You are worrying for nothing. We are on the other side of the planet. They wouldn’t reach us,” Sis Cannon said calmly. “If they were to expand so aggressively, would Silver Moon City just sit back and watch?”
“Regardless of whether it’s true, we have to be well-prepared. With preparation, we could deal with any changes.” Arsenal’s stern reply calmed everyone down. We looked at Arsenal simultaneously. Our Princess looked at every one of us. “I’m sorry. Everyone’s peaceful life might have to come to an end.”
We became quiet. I could faintly feel that war was going to start.
The world had just gone through the end of the world and had yet to recover. But now they had to deal with another war against the devil.
“Oh, I see the remains of a spaceship,” Ice Dragon said and our observation window turned into a huge screen.
On the screen, there was a spaceship’s remains floating in the water. The large region of water was the lake that was as huge as an ocean, which acted as Blue Shield City’s water source. Another three thousand meters further would be the border of the livable zone and the radiation zone. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to survive there.

The goods in the remains scattered all across the surface of the lake. There was no one who had come to take the goods. There were many birds that had flown down from the night sky and gathered among the goods.
Ice Dragon zoomed in and we saw that the water below the birds was red! It was blood! Blood! Ice Dragon shone light over the area and the birds flew away in surprise. We immediately saw the two dead bodies floating in the water.
“Ah!” Frightened, Xiao Ying covered her eyes.
“It’s them.” Arsenal furrowed her eyebrows and looked away, but she had already recognized the two dead bodies.
One had been eaten by the birds beyond recognition while the other’s face could still barely be made out. It was the guy with fish gills.
My body went cold. He Lei had once said that the two people who had taken Pink Baby wouldn’t live; it was only a matter of time since it had been hard to take action within Blue Shield City.
What He Lei had said had become reality. The two persons hadn’t lived.
This was Blue Shield City’s doing!
“You know them?” Ming You asked. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked away as well.
“So disgusting! Who killed them?!” Sis Cannon complained that it was disgusting but she was still staring at them.
Raffles turned to look at Harry. Harry supported his face with one hand and his expression grew solemn. “It’s Blue Shield City.”
“What?!” Sis Cannon exclaimed in surprise. Xiao Ying, Ming You and Xue Gie looked at Harry.
Harry frowned and clasped his hands together below his chin. He sighed emotionally in the cabin. “I heard that Blue Shield City isn’t as friendly as it looks. They would hunt people down. These people either stole from Blue Shield City, or offended the people in Blue Shield City, or they had good stuff that Queen Bee was eyeing. It turns out that these are not rumors.”
Although these two had deserved to die, I still felt heavy-hearted. Blue Shield City was extremely brutal. They had showed no mercy.
This was a world where nice people were relative but bad people weren’t definite. The kind and the wicked were labels we gave out according to our own judgements.
The end of the world had made the law of the jungle even clearer to us.
You stole from me. Alright, I would kill you to remove the root so that you wouldn’t stand a chance to form a new group to come and steal from me again. This was also the principle that every city had applied against Ghost Eclipsers.
In order to prevent Ghost Eclipsers from taking revenge, they killed each and every one of them brutally.
But, was it right?
“Oh, your fish is hooked!” Ice Dragon finally appeared before us and smiled politely. “And I’ve already secretly touched it. I realized that they have the most advanced high energy particle bomb from Silver Moon City in storage. It could pierce the body of our spaceship and lead to the malfunction of all our electronic devices.”
They had come. All the members immediately prepared for battle.
“Activate protective shield,” Harry instructed at once.
No matter which kind of high tech weapon the other party was using, we had to take precautions!
“Snowstorm, Snowstorm, there is a spaceship from Blue Shield City behind you,” He Lei’s voice resounded. “We are eight hundred meters above them. What are your plans?” He Lei and Fat-Two had arrived. In order to tempt the fish, we hadn’t left at full speed but had flown slowly.

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.

Kreig Goes Apesh*t (An AU of Returning to No Applause)
An AU of my previous story, Returning to No Applause, that asks the simple question of "What if it all went wrong?" When Kreig first appears on Earth again, after being stranded in another world for 130 years, he finds himself faced with weapons and guns. In a fit of instinct, he accidentally murders one of the many Fighters, causing what can only be described as a massacre to take place. The story that follows this simple premise is completely opposed to the one told before, focusing less on character improvement and more so degradation. It should come as no surprise that I personally recommend reading the OG story before checking this one out, and if you've already done so, great! Swell havin' ya! Any such readers might remember that I mentioned writing a story like this a while back, and... Here we are. This is in no way a continuation or sequel, nor will it be very long. Expect around 15 chapters at most depending on various factors. All and all, the 5-page length will remain the same (apart from chap. 1) and so will the release time, Sundays at 20:30 EST (I think?). All that aside, I sure hope you'll enjoy this! It'll obviously be very different from the OG story, but I personally think that's a good thing. Cheerio!
