2. The City of Annihilation

The role of energy and matter is relative, and this has been confirmed by scientists for a long time. X

In the simplest way, you put a feather in a flame and it will be burned to ashes, which is the best manifestation of energy and matter.

In a high-energy environment, even the strongest matter can be destroyed and altered in unimaginable ways, whether for a stone or a city.

"Whew"

The wind of the distant silence of the void blew over the city, and the weathering of the shattered earth and buildings on the edge of the city intensified once again, and Sheriff Swan stood on the outermost watch tower, which was originally a shopping mall, but now it had become dead silent, and he could see the surface of the abandoned city that was gradually crumbling in the scarlet light without a telescope, as if the flow of time had been ruthlessly accelerated by a dozen times.

Those buildings that have turned gray are the most dangerous areas of Gotham at this time, and with a little force, they will completely collapse in this void, and they will fall into the endless void with the unlucky people who walk on them, and they will never find their way home, and even their souls will be wiped out together.

This is a city that is slowly dying, slowly dying.

"Hiss"

Sheriff Swan's repurposed intercom sounded around his waist, he put it to his ear, and Sergei's deep voice came from the other side:

"A-13 and B-17 have an energy reaction at the same time, and everyone who can fight nearby is going to support... It's still the old rule, after the war, the captured monster core was exchanged for supplies, friendly reminder, today's supplies not only have beef jerky and vodka, but also a large number of condoms, brothers in need should not miss it. ”

The last joke wasn't funny, but the sheriff shrugged his shoulders and began to move.

Now that small-scale infiltration battles like this are going on every day, the youkai from the Demon Realm don't want to see a city floating above their world for too long, they covet the fresh souls and flesh of the city all the time, but to be honest, it's not the same now, hunting these infiltrated youkai has become the hottest activity in the city... It's almost the only pastime except for popping.

"Buzz"

The black flame-like energy mist erupted outside the sheriff's body, turning him into a big monster in an instant, his antlered head looked left and right, and with a slight force on his legs, the whole person jumped on top of the ruined building, and quickly advanced towards the B-17 area.

In the city that has begun to control all kinds of resources, even a little more supplies are good, Sheriff Swan is also a human being, and he is also a normal man, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, and on the 27th day of the city's fall into the demon world, there are already 3 more women with good looks around him, and his burden is also very heavy.

The power of the big monster is very powerful, especially when bathed in the scarlet light of the demon world, as long as you can control the kind of destruction surging in your body**, you can completely control the power of the monster, after the Cyber Overlord and the Lord of Hell united to clear the city, they taught this method of rapid enhancement to the survivors of the city, after 27 days of development, now at least two-thirds of the people in the city have received this power enhancement.

No one persecuted them, no one threatened to kill them, even if they didn't do anything, they could get a supply at the town hall every day, and they would definitely not starve to death, but after the devastating disasters before, except for those salted fish who were really eating and waiting to die, and were frightened, the others, regardless of men, women, and children, all had a different thirst for power after picking up a life.

Especially when you fall into the demon realm and can't see the hope of breaking away for a short time, this desire is amplified without limit.

"Bang"

In the scarlet light, Swan fell from the sky, and the dark energy in his hand gathered into a sharp shadow sword, slashing the little monsters who had just jumped out of the portal in front of him, and the shadow blade between the vertical and horizontal blades cut the bodies of these monsters extremely easily, just in a moment, the monster of this small portal was cleared by him alone, and not far away, the other warriors who rushed to fight also began to fight, there are at least more than 30 open portals in this area, which is completely enough for a hunt of hundreds of people.

Swan didn't eat alone, and although the power of the powerful monster gave him the ability to eat alone, he was not willing to do so.

"Die, die, you all have to die!"

A big monster jumping around, wielding maces, saw blades and long knives, like marionettes, roared out of the portal, just wanted to kill the Quartet, but saw Swan standing in front of him, holding a sword in his left hand, gathering dark energy in his right hand, with a cold face, he felt the difficulty of this opponent, and saw the humans on the battlefield around him, he screamed, and instantly wanted to turn around and escape into the portal.

But... How can a prey that is targeted escape so easily?

"Bang"

The portal behind the big monster was shattered by an iron fist, and more than a dozen arrogant men in orange prison uniforms fell from the sky, blocking the last space for the big monster to escape, but they didn't attack immediately, their leader, a big bald head with a scar on his face, looked vigilantly at Sheriff Swan on the other side, and the sheriff also focused on these prisoners.

"The scum of the Black Gate..."

He whispered, "Your defense zone is not here!"

"Do you want to see the place when you come out to hunt?"

The leader of the prisoners said in a deep voice, "It's been a long time, should I call you Darkblade Swan or Sheriff Swan now?"

"Oh, it looks like you guys miss being thrown into prison by me..."

Sheriff Swan said unceremoniously: "Don't think that if you're still alive, I'll forget the disaster you brought to the city, and don't give me a reason to kill you!"

Behind the sheriff, the other monster-hunting warriors saw these prisoners appear, and they also stood behind Swan with their weapons in their hands, obviously, these prisoners are not welcome in Gotham now, seeing an encirclement formed, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the leader of the prisoners, but it was quickly suppressed, and he said loudly:

"Hell, the Overlord has given us the right to fair activities, and we're part of the city, you can't do that! You're going to die with us!"

He took a step back with his brother, and he whispered:

"Don't forget, Overlord and Batman don't allow private fights in the city... This big monster is up to you... Let's go over there!"

He pointed to several portals at the edge of the area, which amounted to their compromise in disguise, and Sheriff Swan's eyes flashed, he breathed a sigh of relief and shook his hand:

", atone for the city's sins, and, watch your heads!"

The prisoners had to swallow their anger in the face of more than 50 fighters who hated the enemy opposite, and the big monster who was surrounded by it looked at more than 50 humans with fierce faces, he raised his weapon with difficulty, but the next moment, he was overwhelmed by the crazy attack.

"This youkai is for you... You can share the supplies you get in exchange!"

With a wave of his hand, the crowd made way for him, and it was clear that the sheriff had a high position in the hearts of these warriors, and as he picked up a dozen black stones from the ground and was about to leave, the warriors improvised a leader to express their gratitude to Swan, an old man, who could see that before the disaster came, he was a real decent man, with a sophisticated coat and a low-key and luxurious watch, but these were no longer meaningful.

On the contrary, it is the monster staff he holds in his hand that is the symbol of Gotham's "decent man" today.

When human beings began to fight for the most primitive survival, strength became the only synonym for the strong.

"Hello, Sergeant Swan, remember me?"

With a smile on his face, the old man stuffed a small bag into Swan's hand and whispered, "Take it, this is our gratitude to the soldiers of the Ridnay Drop District, don't shirk it, if it weren't for you today, those bastards of the Black Gate might have done something." ”

"Mr. Fred, you don't have to be so polite. ”

Swan excused himself several times, but in the end he couldn't resist the old man, tying the bag containing the monster core, that is, the black stone, around his waist, and he also smiled at the old man in front of him, before the disaster came, this old man was a well-known philanthropist in the neighborhood of Ridney Fall Island, and did a lot of good deeds, and it seems that the kindness of these good deeds sheltered him through that disaster, and also gave him the capital to survive in a bad world.

"You don't have to be afraid of the scum. ”

Swan whispered to the old man, "They don't dare to fight in the city, the Devils have been monitoring them, as long as they dare to do it, within five minutes, they will be completely eliminated... Overlord and Batman aren't kind to these guys, they've always been on our side. ”

"Well, that's what I said. ”

Old man Fred said with some concern: "But the black market in the area they control is very involved, many young people will go there to trade, if you offend them, the already difficult situation will become even more difficult, I don't know what the overlord thinks, those bastards who almost ruined the order of the city, should be completely killed!"

"Ugh..."

Swan sighed too, and he looked at the devastated city, and he whispered:

"Gotham is really, I can't afford to die... The monsters don't care if you're a prisoner or a good person, they've at least defended the western part of the city for us, but don't worry, Mr. Fred, I'm going there today to tell the Overlord about the black market, and I'm sure the Overlord won't let them oppress you so wantonly. ”

"Okay, that's good. ”

The old gentleman patted Swann on the shoulder happily, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, Sheriff Swan, by the way, my grandson will try to contract the Great Monster Spirit tomorrow, if he really succeeds, the life of the people in our neighborhood will be much better, and you are welcome to come and watch the ceremony at that time." ”

"Little Fred?"

Swan pondered for a moment, took out a small reagent from his arms, and stuffed it into Fred's hand, who glanced at it, and saw the purple light lingering in the small bottle, he was shocked, and immediately clenched his fingers, subconsciously looked left and right, and stuffed it back into Swan's hand, and lowered his voice:

"It's too valuable, I can't ask for it! Take it back! Swan, you've helped us too much. ”

"No, no, take it, Fred. ”

Swan patted the old gentleman on the shoulder:

"When I first arrived in Gotham, you helped me too much, so I took it as my return gift, and the Desperation Virus can only be injected once, I have already been injected, and it is useless to keep it, but little Fred, that child has been weak and sick since he was a child, this thing can make him healthy, and when he contracts, the success rate will be much greater. ”

"But this 35% high concentration of the desperate virus can at least be exchanged for enough food and enjoyment for one person in the black market for half a year..."

Old Fred clenched his fists: "This is really too valuable, Swan, you really gave me a problem, how do you ask me to repay you..."

"Hahaha"

Sheriff Swan laughed heartily, and he put his arm around Fred Sr.'s shoulder, and said like a buddy:

"If you really want to help me, let little Fred join the police department, I lack these talented and potential young people now, we will not be stuck here forever, once we come back to reality, this order of the jungle will collapse, we have to prepare in advance. ”

"Well, if that's the case, I'll promise it for him. ”

Old Fred clenched the reagent bottle in his hand, and said softly with a smile: "Although that stupid boy plans to join the Devil Gang or the Bat Society, it seems that it is a good choice to join the police station and maintain order in the city." ”

So you see, the adaptability of human beings is actually far beyond your imagination, even in today's Gotham, less than a month after falling into the demon world, a new order has been established on this ruined city, but I am very curious, now that Gotham, which is now a soldier and has returned to the barbaric order, once it returns to the real world, what kind of impact will it have on the civilized order? What kind of actions will they take against those culprits who threw them into hell?

It's curious... r
