Order defeated the Tyrannical Army, but the cost of maintaining it in the future was astronomical. Moreover, the problem was not just the maintenance.
Ninety-nine percent of the enemies were blocked behind the walls, but there were still a few monsters that broke through the walls and broke into the living circle where humans lived.
Order now had nine layers of walls, and the outermost layer was filled with residents who were basically of no help to Order. They needed to complete some work and show their value before they could enter the core position.
Just now, a heart-wrenching scene happened behind the wall. A brother and sister were attacked by a kobold.
The man and woman were siblings, Bai Fang and Bai Yuran. They were seventeen or eighteen years old and were considered young adults of Order. In fact, the two used to work on the fifth layer of walls, but during work, Bai Fang was harassed. Although the harasser was punished, Bai Yuran was dissatisfied. He sneaked into the other party's house in the middle of the night and broke the other party's right leg with an iron rod. This offended Order's law and was sent to work on the ninth layer of walls.
Bai Fang was worried about her brother. Although she could be exempted from punishment, she still secretly applied and followed them. Because of this, Bai Yuran complained for a long time.
However, they quickly adapted to their current life. They had dreams and looked forward to the day when they could return to the core area, away from this dangerous environment.
But sometimes, the more you fear, the more it will happen. Today, Bai Yuran and Bai Fang experienced a life and death separation. A kobold broke through the wall and pierced Bai Fang with a bone knife, killing her.
Lu Wei had noticed something, but at that time, he could not leave his post at all. The life and death of one person was far less important than the destruction of the city wall. He was no longer the hot-blooded young man who had the ability to stop the slightest injustice. The cruelty of reality made him understand the current rules of the world.
However, just as Lu Wei completed his defense and turned to help the other party, he found that the kobold who had killed Bai Fang had fallen to the ground with a hideous wound on his leg. Bai Yuran was also injured all over and was lying weakly on the ground.
How could an ordinary person injure a Bronze-ranked Kobold?
Lu Wei stood in front of the other party and stopped the kobold who still had the ability to move. He turned his gaze to Bai Yuran: "How did you do it?"
The strength of the other party seemed to have exceeded Lu Wei's expectations.
Bai Yuran had already lost his ability to think. His entire face was twisted, but he still said loudly, "I want revenge! I want to avenge Fangfang! "
"Oh, then go ahead and do it. Do whatever you want." The cold voice sounded again, and at the same time, Lu Wei handed over a dagger.
Bai Yuran nodded. His stiff and pale hands were tightly clenched into fists. His gaze was as sharp as a knife as he stared at the kobold who killed his sister. He growled coldly like a cold wind, "I want revenge! I want you to pay with your blood!
Bai Yuran would never forget that there was a girl who was his companion when he was at his most helpless and most difficult time. He knew that he did not have the ability or the strength to protect her. He could only watch her work outside and be bullied by her colleagues. He originally wanted to work hard to get himself and his sister back to the core, but the sudden appearance of the kobolds ruined everything!
"I was wrong!" Bai Yuran blamed himself. If he could have held back his temper and listened to the investigation department's judgment, they would not have come here, and his sister would not have been killed!
Fangfang was gone, and he had no family left. He did not know how he picked up the stone to fight the kobold when Fangfang died. He did not know before, and he did not know now.
Bai Yuran picked up the dagger and rushed toward the kobold. He raised the dagger and slashed … Bai Yuran's hearing turned from screams to wails until silence. He did not know how many times he stabbed the kobold, but he finally woke up when he felt that his body was completely soaked in bright red blood.
Looking at the kobold that he had stabbed into a sieve, Bai Yuran gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He sat on the ground with a pale face and a confused and helpless look in his eyes.
No matter how strong the hatred was, he was just an ordinary person who had never seen blood or killing.
"How is it, do you feel better?" Lu Wei was a spectator from beginning to end and witnessed everything.
Bai Yuran raised his head with a mournful expression. Lu Wei 'an waited quietly and did not urge him. Then, Bai Yuran shook his head and nodded. Finally, he stopped what he was doing and did not speak, but the answer was clear.
For the man in front of him, Bai Yuran was grateful and respectful from the bottom of his heart. After all, he had seen too much darkness and suffered too much. Lu Wei's appearance was undoubtedly the best definition of the superhero hidden in the depths of Bai Yuran's heart.
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Bai Yuran woke up from the shock of killing someone and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Wei. For Bai Yuran, who had nothing, this might be his most expensive reward.
Lu Wei slowly moved his gaze to the girl who had been dead for a long time on the side of the road. He did not show the regret and sadness in Bai Yuran's heart. He just said faintly, "There are many people like you in this world. Their loved ones died in a bad environment and are now waiting for someone to rescue them.
"No one can save you. Just like me before, I only saw it all, but I couldn't help you at all."
Although he did not understand, Bai Yuran still nodded blankly. But suddenly, Bai Yuran seemed to have thought of something and his expression stiffened. He asked submissively and uncertainly, "Didn't you pass by? Didn't you save me because you saw that I was about to be killed? "
He clenched his fists and waited for Lu Wei's answer, but what he got was an expression of shaking his head.
On the side, Bai Yuran lowered his head in a daze. His expression was a little dull.
He did not expect the truth to be like this!
Bai Yuran hoped so much that the hero in front of him would say that he happened to pass by and saved his life.
A second ago, the savior he respected thought that he was tall and righteous. From that moment on, he was no longer alone. He had a hero to take care of him. He also had to help the weak and save people who were in trouble like him.
But the truth was that all of this was his naivety. The hero saved him only because he was like a person.
Moreover, he could have stopped Fangfang from being killed! But he did not do anything and allowed Fangfang to die tragically!
His respect and admiration just now seemed like a joke filled with mockery now.
"Hero? You clearly have the strength, so why didn't you save Fangfang? Why did you let her die in front of you! Are our lives just a joke in your heart? If I wasn't like the fool you said, would you have watched me be killed! That must be it. "Bai Yuran roared in his heart.
He was ashamed and angry.
He felt as if he was being toyed with by Lu Wei. He and Fangfang were like two marionettes on strings. It was just that he performed better than Fangfang and received the reward of life, while Fangfang died tragically under the knife.
He felt the coldness in Lu Wei's words.
"How can you do this to us?!"
"Are the weak destined to be humiliated and killed? I am atoning for my sins and doing a lot of work every day. Fangfang, how can Fangfang die in such a place? She is still so young and has her own life to live. She even has to get married and have children and have a family of her own. At that time, I will let go and truly bless her … .But … .Why did you stand by and watch? "
After suffering all kinds of hardships and his sister's death, Lu Wei's appearance was like a god to Bai Yuran. But this god that he was willing to sacrifice all his spiritual beliefs collapsed and disappeared without a trace in an instant!
The repeated blows finally caused Bai Yuran's spiritual defense to completely collapse. His face was distorted as he loudly questioned his savior who he regarded as a hero a few minutes ago.
At the same time, a shocking scene appeared!
Bai Yuran's five fingers formed hooks and his eyes reflected scarlet light. But all of this was not surprising. The most horrifying thing was that while Bai Yuran stared at Lu Wei, pieces of dragon-like armor slowly appeared on his body.
At this moment, Bai Yuran's awakening was successful!
Bai Yuran's performance at this time was also unexpected to Lu Wei. He was used to seeing all kinds of strange things, but he did not expect that this young man would rely on anger to awaken his ability!
How long has it been since I saw this scene?
Lu Wei also had a sister, so he naturally knew the feeling of despair. He wanted to make some explanations, not because he owed him, nor because the other party's misunderstanding would have a bad impact on him, but because he was a big brother.
But what Lu Wei didn't expect was that before he could say anything, the young man in front of him had changed. He had awakened his ability and become a real professional.
A long time ago, scholars had confirmed that when people suddenly changed, their bodies would change and they were very likely to be promoted to a professional. Of course, this kind of promotion required the living to suffer unimaginable hardships and pain. It could be said that it was a kind of soul state that was worse than death!
It could be seen how great the young man's feelings for his dead sister were. It even allowed him to complete the promotion and cross over to a new level of state.
Looking at Bai Yuran, who stared at him with murderous eyes and did not treat him as a savior at all, Lu Wei treated him seriously for the first time as a complete life form.
"Do you want to kill me?" Lu Wei said calmly.
The young man was startled and could not help but say in his heart, "Yes, he is my savior. Even if he didn't save Fangfang, my life was saved by him! Father said to repay kindness, but what am I doing? "
"No, it's him who ignored all of this. He clearly has great power, but he didn't save Fangfang, causing misfortune to happen!"
Bai Yuran was very upset now. He clearly felt that there were two little people in his body at this time, both of them frantically hitting each other. One was a savior, and the other was a villain who did not save a dying person. This surprise was enough to make him helpless.
"Why? Why didn't you save her? You could have saved Fangfang in the first place, so why did you just watch her be killed?! " Bai Yuran shouted at Lu Wei. His hands and feet were trembling, and his eyes were reflecting waves of cold light.
"No!"
Facing the young man's question, Lu Wei shook his head. If the young man knew at this time that the man in front of him was Chen Feng's confidant, the head of the Dark Department, perhaps he would have trembled directly. Because according to the rumors, Lu Wei was a powerhouse who could make children stop crying.
Lu Wei had one of the top rights in Order, but he was not angry because of a newly promoted profession. Instead, he said, "I was resisting the disaster on the city wall before, so why didn't I come to save your sister? That's because I was guarding the millions of people in Order. Compared one person to a million, what would you choose? "
Lu Wei's words made Bai Yuran speechless. He trembled all over but did not know how to refute.
"The reason why you are confused now is because you have stood up and looked at the surrounding environment."
"Monsters and beasts are everywhere. They only have one purpose, and that is to destroy the home of human survival!"
"In the disaster, no one is spared. I understand how you feel because I am also a brother. If my sister was killed in front of me, I would be a hundred times or even a thousand times crazier than you!"
Lu Wei's face was still expressionless, but his breath was shaking more and more violently. His short sleeves fluttered slightly, and there were two demons roaring and screaming above his head.
"Do you want to have great power?"
"Do you want to have a new life? Although your sister is dead, you still have a chance to find your own happiness, find a woman you love, have a few more children, and let you say goodbye to the pain of losing your sister. "
"Although the unbearable pain will last for a long time, I also want you to be clear that it is not me, nor anyone else who harmed you or your sister, but your low-level strength!"
"Work hard, work hard to rely on everything you have now to swim upstream. Only then can you truly protect yourself and your loved ones from harm!"
Bai Yuran was a little surprised by Lu Wei's words. He never thought that the other party would say this to him.
Bai Yuran's tears streamed down his face. As a man, he had never cried even when he was in pain, but now, he could not hold back the chaotic emotions in his heart. There was no doubt that he had broken down.
Lu Wei looked at him and said, "Cry. You'll feel better once you cry. If you really want to take revenge, you can come to me. But you're not strong enough. Work hard. With your current strength, you're not qualified to be my enemy. You can't even complain about it!"
