《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.

Meaning: The End of the Starless Century
Magic was once a reality of everyday life, shaping the lives of the gifted and ungifted alike since the dawn of humanity. That all changed in the fires of World War I. Seeking to avoid catastrophe, humanity’s leaders enacted the Masquerade Order and segregated the magical community while also forming The Congregation to enforce the separation. As time passed, the awesome power of magic was forgotten by the world outside. This held true for a little over a century, but things begin to change when three individuals intersect in the peaceful town of Ithaca, New York. Noelle Sellers, a newly minted policewoman searching for her place in the world. Levi Wright, a mage living in Ithaca who is far more than he lets on. Lorelei Himmel, a juvenile witch in hiding out of fear of what people would do to her, and what she may do to them. As forces slithering in the darkness emerge from the murky depths of the world, the timeless battle for magic and for the future itself begins once again.

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
