Chapter ·【Karma Fire】

【3:09 am】

"City News, bringing you the latest news."

"——Are you still troubled by the aging of the city-state? Are you still troubled by the fact that your parents are on duty to educate you? Eden Garden's newly launched product [bionic child] allows you to raise a child of your own without obtaining a parent certificate..."

"Crack!"

A blood-stained iron rod hit the radio, and the sound of advertising stopped abruptly.

"The labor and management are tired of reading those news every day." The soldier holding an iron bar spat at the fragments of the radio and turned around to continue searching.

In the supermarket where the shelves are scattered, the rebels are searching for food and weapons.

In the past, this would have been impossible to happen. But now, the eagle dog machine responsible for guarding has entered a dormant state, and no one can stop this group of people from looting.

The rebels invaded the inner city and broke into residential buildings. The residents screamed and screamed all around.

"——How did you break into my house!"

"—Where's my door lock alarm? Where's my guard robot? Why—"

"——Don't come over! Don't come over! Don't smash my things——"

"Da da da da——"

Gunshots sounded like raindrops.

In the quiet night of the city, the noise broke the sleep.

The hawk-dog machines on the streets no longer abide by the laws of the city-state.

As guards to protect the safety of the residents, their eyes were red, as if they had souls of their own. They no longer paid attention to the residents asking for help, but instead helped the group of rebels who invaded the city.

The most lethal firearms fell into the hands of the rebels, who vented their desires and anger like wild beasts out of their cages.

[——Kill Dawn. 】

This is their heartfelt slogan.

As if they wanted to put half their life's injustice and anger into words, they wanted to make this city-state in the rain collapse for the dawn of their new century.

They want to kill Asa Actor, the leader of the current city-state.

…

Under the rain.

The blond and blue-eyed leader of the resistance was leaning against the wall and smoking.

He looked into the distance in silence, looking at that sharp building standing in the dark night like a lighthouse.

That is Central City, the towering Central City, which is also their ultimate goal.

At his feet, there was a middle-aged man lying with a dead expression on his face - the electronic information of the supermarket employee was hung on the man's chest. This is a very ordinary ordinary person. He has the latest lipstick in his pocket, maybe for his wife, maybe for his newly grown daughter.

But tonight, with the sound of a gunshot in flames, all his future disappeared like a dream.

The smoke rose faintly in the rain. Under the blond hair of the leader of the resistance army, his pair of sky-like blue eyes looked hazy. He seemed to be immersed in a peaceful atmosphere.

"Click."

He stepped on the edge of the supermarket employee's pocket, and his lipstick squeaked slightly.

...It seemed to be the sound of a broken family.

"At 3:15 in the morning, we successfully broke into the second ring area. The number of survivors, 300 players, and a total of 8 NPCs who voluntarily surrendered played a major role. The Dawn system failed to mobilize effective forces in time to destroy us."

A woman in a tight leather jacket jumped from the roof. She was Natalie, the top player and the "guardian" of the blond man.

The "guardian" who prevents him from going crazy and monitors his mental state at all times.

"...Edward." Natalie stretched out her hand and called out the blond man's name.

The rebel leader's eyelashes moved slightly.

Natalie's hand passed over his left cheek, wiping away the blood splattered on his face.

This action looks concerned and ambiguous.

"We...were very successful." She said with a smile: "Our speed is fast enough, and countless people who have been infiltrated by [Tavi] have provided us with great convenience."

"Yeah." Edward responded.

He took off the cigarette, and the back of his hand was covered with broken raindrops.

"As long as someone shouts - the war will start." He said: "World Games allowed us to enter the instance at the right time. Many people have already fallen into other dimensions. We just gave them a slogan to start the war."

"However, the residents of the inner city are still loyal to the Dawn System and Akto." Natalie said: "Our speeches and persuasion have not had much effect. Almost no one is willing to join us, except for those with inferior personalities."

"It is expected." Edward said: "After all, even if the resistance army wins and destroys the Dawn System, this city-state will be destroyed in the future. In this kind of apocalypse, without the Dawn System, millions of people will not survive at all. "

"But..." He raised his eyelids: "What does it matter? Most of the residents are idiots. Just let this illusory 'freedom' be the slogan and hang them. What I like to see the most is that human beings will Targeting their own heroes, killing those who once saved them."

Natalie smiled.

"Yes, it doesn't matter." She said with a smile: "As long as we kill Su Ming'an and snatch the camp's highest points - what does the future of this city have to do with us? Only that guy Su Ming'an insists on it every time Achieve an ending that saves most people.”

"Let's go." Edward threw away the cigarette.

"Click-click."

On the wall, an LCD screen suddenly lit up.

Edward raised his head and looked at the screen. This seemed to be an emergency live broadcast.

In front of the azure conference background, countless microphones were raised like weeds. Core District Speaker Fukri Kolbi stood in front of the flashlight with a serious expression:

"...The evacuation operation of the city-state is in urgent progress.

"This kind of rebellious behavior that dares to provoke a civil war and consume internal survival resources is a betrayal of human civilization. The city-state strongly condemns humans who take refuge in other dimensions.

"At this moment, the residents of the city-state should believe in the surveying state, the impartial Dawn system, the powerful mechanical armed force in the city, and -"

Speaking of this, the speaker suddenly raised his voice a few times.

He faced the camera and said seriously:

"——Our great Lord Asa Akto!"

"Believe him, he will definitely serve as a beacon for the city-state and bring peace and order back to the residents!"

"We are all his loyal light chasers..."

"..."

It’s clear from this last paragraph that the speaker is not the original.

He is the top player on the list, "Prophet" Alande, who was personally ordered by Dawn to protect Akto from death.

After learning that Edward was lined up with them, he was instantly frightened - Edward and Su Ming'an were facing each other. This was simply the battle of the century. Who knows what the world would be like.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the seventh day after the dungeon was opened, Edward, who had been dormant for a long time, set off a declaration of war and led the resistance forces straight into Central City. Alande thinks Su Mingan will win. So he flattered Su Mingan at the end of his speech to show his attitude.

——In the majestic rain, Edward stared at the LCD screen coldly and sneered.

"Wait, then."

Those who don't think highly of him, those who despise him, those who think he is crazy...

He wants them to pay.

After surrendering to the organizer, he has stronger authority and is different from before.

Just a dog.

Who is nobler than whom?
