At this moment, in a room, several children were looking at the screen with grim faces.

"Then, then, what is that thing!"

A boy in blue clothes was trembling constantly, staring at the screen with a pale face.

"A monster, this must be a monster!!"

Another boy wearing a snake-skin mask and tattered clothes was also trembling and curled up in a ball, shaking.

"You must be kidding. Is Daimon really dead? Then...what on earth is that?"

Next to them, a girl with pink twin ponytails also had a livid face. She gritted her teeth and stared at the screen covered in flames, not daring to believe what she was seeing. To her own point, the girl would rather believe that this was a movie clip than what really happened to her companions.

“This is really…”

At the same time, another green-haired girl sitting in a wheelchair showed a surprised and interesting expression, looking at the screen without saying a word.

"I need to talk to Sister Dunzi..."

Fang Zheng didn't care what those people were thinking. After killing the boy named Damen, he set fire to the entire arena and then turned around and left. At the same time, Fang Zheng opened his personal terminal and got in touch with the rear.

"Nymph, get me Shokuhou Misaki. I need to talk to her about something."

"Okay, Master, please wait."

Hearing Fang Zheng's order, Nymph responded quickly. After a moment, Shokuhou Misaki's voice appeared in Fang Zheng's ears.

"What's the matter, Mr. Fang Zheng? It's really rare that you come to see me."

"I need your help with something."

As Fang Zheng walked, he described the situation here to Shokuhou Misaki. After listening to what Fang Zheng said, Shokuhou Misaki did not answer for a long time.

“…Shokuhou? Are you listening?”

"I'm listening... Damn it..."

Although Fang Zheng couldn't see Shokuhou Misaki's expression, he could already sense her mood from her slightly trembling tone which was mixed with anger.

"...Mr. Fang Zheng, to be honest, I always thought Academy City was dark enough..."

"Academy City is just a place where you can go. It's just the entry level."

"So what about the world you are in now?"

"It can be considered advanced."

"I don't really want to know if there's more to come... So what you mean is..."

"Like I just told you, these kids have been brainwashed. I'm not sure how much of their actions are instinctive and self-willed, nor am I sure what the consequences and impact will be after the brainwashing is lifted. So I need a qualified psychologist to help me make a judgment. Among the people I know, you are the only one with the strongest mental ability."

Fang Zheng was not lying. He was not good at mental manipulation, and he had never used this ability. Although Fang Zheng had taught himself psychology for a while, he was no match for Shokuhou Misaki, the master of "mental control".

"...To be honest, I really don't want to go..."

“That’s understandable.”

Fang Zheng certainly understood why Shokuhou Misaki said that. Compared to this world, Academy City was already a warm, safe, and harmless place. This was not a physical threat, but a psychological fear. As a master of "psychological control", even if Shokuhou Misaki only listened to Fang Zheng's simple description of the city, she knew that she was going to face a scene that was like hell.

A group of children tortured and killed their parents under brainwashing, and played with their bodies... Now the whole city has become a playground for children to hunt adults...

Just thinking about this scene made Shokuhou Misaki feel like vomiting.

Although as a Level 5 psychic, Shokuhou Misaki had been exposed to the dark side of Academy City such as human experiments, but compared with what Fang Zheng described, the so-called darkness in Academy City was nothing.

"If you don't want to come, that's fine. I can find someone else."

Fang Zheng also considered Shokuhou Misaki's feelings. Although Shokuhou Misaki's figure was better than many adults, she was only a fourteen-year-old junior high school student after all. For her to face such a desperate and dark world all of a sudden, she really needed a very strong heart.

"No, I will go. I believe my ability can solve this problem."

Shokuhou Misaki was silent for a moment, but still gave her answer.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll have Kurumi send a clone to assist you, and I'll also find a few more suitable candidates to assist you in the work. Anyway, you should prepare first."

Fang Zheng did not intend to let the girls from Tiandao Palace get involved in this matter. This matter had already divided the entire city into two camps: children under ten and adults over twenty. They were now hostile to each other and fighting each other. Only middle school and high school students between ten and twenty years old could be accepted by both camps.

But it won't work if it's just like this. If you're not mentally strong enough, you won't be able to endure this world. That's why Fang Zheng chose Shokuhou Misaki. Speaking of psychological pressure, Fang Zheng thinks Shokuhou Misaki is obviously stronger, but Misaka Mikoto is not. Frankly speaking, Shirai Kuroko has a higher ability to withstand pressure than Misaka Mikoto. If Misaka Mikoto ran into this world, she would be beaten to death by Enoshima Junko in a minute.

According to the current investigation, this world has basically completely collapsed and has completely become the end of the world. Nuclear wars have even broken out in many places - well, it is not wrong to say that this world is a modern version of Fallout. Therefore, Fang Zheng's plan is to completely take over this planet, use this city as a starting point to rebuild the Fortress of Order, and resist the impact of the Chaos Wave again.

Therefore, Fang Zheng decided to send the Ship Girls as the main force to fight here. On the one hand, the Ship Girls themselves are powerful. On the other hand, Ship Girls are mental models after all. Although they appear to be very humane, their essence is still just weapons, so they will not be affected by emotions such as despair.

After all, no matter what you do, you can't make a gun despair, right?

Fang Zheng then said a few more words, then closed the connection, and then left the underground passage and returned to the street. Then he saw Miao Mu and the blonde girl hiding in the alley not far away, watching this side anxiously. Seeing Fang Zheng coming out, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then trotted all the way to Fang Zheng's side.

"that……"

Miao Mukun looked at Fang Zheng, then glanced at the passage behind him where black smoke was coming out, but Fang Zheng just waved his hand.

"I told you, don't ask and I won't tell you."

"……yes."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Miao Mukun couldn't help but lower her head. To be honest, she was really shocked. It was no wonder that an ordinary girl saw a pile of corpses in front of her, and a child who didn't care and didn't take it seriously at all. If she said that she was not mentally stimulated - that would be a problem.

"By the way, I've already contacted Naegi Makoto, you can talk to him first."

Seeing Miaomu Kun's look, Fang Zheng didn't say anything and just handed him a cell phone. Miaomu Kun took the phone and soon saw his brother's face.

"elder brother!"

"Xiao Kun, are you okay?"

Seeing his sister, the nervous Makoto Naegi heaved a sigh of relief, and Fang Zheng also stepped back two steps to give the two siblings some space to communicate with each other. Then he turned his head and looked at the blonde girl.

"Oh, I forgot to thank you. It was you who saved her... You were..."

"Akamatsu Kaede, my name is Akamatsu Kaede."

In response to Fang Zheng's question, the blonde girl introduced herself with a smile, and Fang Zheng nodded.

"My name is Fang Zheng... Then Miss Akamatsu Kaede, were you also captured and brought here?"

"Yes, I am unlucky too..."

Facing Fang Zheng, Akamatsu Kaede was not reserved, but quickly told Fang Zheng about her origins. What surprised Fang Zheng was that Akamatsu Kaede was also a member of the super high school level. She introduced herself as a "super high school level pianist", and then one day on the way home from school, she was suddenly kidnapped and then inexplicably brought here.

Like Naegi Kun, Akamatsu Kaede also spent nearly a year in prison here, but she entertained herself by playing the piano every day when she was bored, which was considered to be acceptable. Then this morning, Akamatsu Kaede was playing the piano when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. As a super high school-level pianist, Akamatsu Kaede's ears were naturally excellent. As soon as she heard the sound, she found that something was wrong, so she took a shot put and hid.

Then the black and white bear robot broke into the room and tried to kill Akamatsu Kaede, but was killed by Akamatsu Kaede from behind with a shot put. Then Akamatsu Kaede ran out of the room and found Naegi Kun being chased by the black and white bear, so he rescued her as well. Then the two of them fled all the way... until they came to the subway passage and met Fang Zheng...

"I see. It seems you are quite lucky."

After hearing Akamatsu Kaede's explanation, Fang Zheng nodded. His initial impression of the two girls was that Naegi Kun was a bit passive and introverted, while Akamatsu Kaede was obviously very positive and outgoing...

"Well, next I will take you to a shelter where you can rest for a while, and then we will find a way to remove this thing from your hands."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng pointed at the black black and white bear bracelet on Akamatsu Feng's wrist.

Hearing this, Akamatsu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there really something wrong with this bracelet?"

"Of course, if you accidentally leave the city, it will explode... Well, I guess you should have thought of that."

“Woo…”

Facing Fang Zheng's answer, Akamatsu Feng's expression changed slightly. Obviously, she also had some guesses, but... it is never a good thing for a guess to be confirmed.

After that, Fang Zheng took the two girls to the gymnasium where they had agreed to meet. At this moment, the gymnasium was already packed with people. The first batch of springtails that Fang Zheng had sent out was timely, and it somewhat prevented the Black and White Bear Army from killing people wantonly, saving quite a few people. At this moment, in the gymnasium, you could see many men and women, young and old.

At this moment, Naegi Makoto and his companions were also running among the crowd, working hard to resettle these refugees. They were relieved to see Fang Zheng coming back.

"elder brother--!"

Seeing Naegi Makoto, Naegi Kun hurriedly shouted, then rushed over and hugged Naegi Makoto - well, by the way, Naegi Kun is three centimeters taller than her brother...

This seems somewhat embarrassing.

"Thank God you're back."

At this moment, Celestia also came over and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Fang Zheng.

"It's really troublesome to gather these people, and some of them don't listen to our advice at all. If it weren't for your puppies being intimidating enough, Mr. Fang Zheng, I'm afraid the situation would be even more troublesome now."

"Is there anyone causing trouble?"

Hearing the implication of Celestia's words, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, right over there."

Celestia turned her head as she spoke. Fang Zheng looked in the direction she pointed and saw a group of people gathered at the gate not far away, shouting and yelling about something. Fang Zheng walked over slowly and soon saw a burly man in the lead yelling at the super high school level students in front of him.

"What do you mean? Do you know who I am? I am Tahe Huici from Tahe Group! I demand to meet with your leader!!"

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, Fang Zheng finally stood up, and when the others saw Fang Zheng appear, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Fang Zheng!"

"Mr. Fang Zheng, you are finally here... This man..."

"Are you the person in charge here?"

At this moment, the man strode up to Fang Zheng and stared at him, while Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back and nodded.

"Yes, what do you want?"

"I am Tahe Huici, the heir of Tahe Group. Which department are you from? I require you to help me get in touch with the outside world immediately..."

"Ta and Huici?"

Hearing this name, Fang Zheng sneered.

"I see. You are the young master of the Tahe Group that created these black and white bears. I haven't bothered you yet, but you brought trouble to me yourself?"

"What?!"

Hearing this, the people around were suddenly shocked and looked at the man, while the man also turned pale and could not help but step back.

"You, how do you know... No, it's not me. I didn't make that weird robot!"

"Those damn robots were made by your Tower and Group?!"

At this moment, the adults who were taking refuge nearby immediately gathered around and surrounded the man named Ta and Huici.

"You killed my wife!"

"What on earth do you and your group want to do?!"

At this moment, those people were becoming more and more excited, and Ta and Huici's expressions were becoming more and more frightened.

"I, I really don't know. This is not my design. That thing was originally designed to be used as a home helper... Who knows why it became like this..."

"Who wants to listen to your nonsense!"

Although Ta and Huici tried hard to explain themselves, those angry people would not let him go. Many of their relatives had died at the claws of those black and white bear robots that appeared inexplicably. It would have been fine if they couldn't find the culprit before, but now that they have found him, they will definitely not let him go!

"Okay, don't be impulsive."

Just when everyone was so excited that they wanted to tear Ta and Huici into pieces, Fang Zheng's voice sounded again, and then several springtails suddenly jumped in and landed beside Ta and Huici, roaring at the crowd around them. Looking at these terrifying and terrible monsters, those who were originally blinded by anger calmed down and hurriedly stepped back.

Then Fang Zheng came over again. He stood there and glanced at the crowd in front of him.

"I am not afraid to tell you that the outside world is now completely ruined, and so is the Tower and the city. From now on, I will take over this city and decide all matters. As for this man, I can understand your desire to tear him into pieces, but he is not the culprit. I will personally execute the real culprit. As for him..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng glanced at Ta and Huici.

"I will temporarily imprison him, and when everything is over and back to normal, I will decide his fate. Now, do you understand what I mean?"

“What a joke!”

However, just as Fang Zheng finished his words, he heard someone in the crowd shouting again.

"Who wants to listen to a guy like you who has no background? This city is our city! How can you take it over just like that?..."

"boom!!"

However, before the other party could finish his words, a flying dragon suddenly fell from the sky and landed behind Fang Zheng. It opened its bloody mouth and stared coldly at the crowd in front of it. When they saw the flying dragon appear, they immediately swallowed their saliva and swallowed their previous words.

"I've said before, I'll take over this city from now on. You can object or not, it's up to you, but I'm not afraid to tell you, if you take any radical actions..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng sneered.

"My puppy and bird have big appetites."

“…”

This time, no one dared to say anything. Under Fang Zheng's blatant threat, the people in front of him shut their mouths and dispersed.

"As expected of Mr. Fang Zheng, your speech just now was quite like that of a great devil."

At this moment, Celestia also came over with a smile and spoke.

"Has the outside world really been destroyed?"

Sayaka Maizono was worried about another problem, but unfortunately, Fang Zheng could only give a positive answer.

"Yes, in fact, just a few days ago, a nuclear war had already begun in this world, and everything was destroyed... The reason why Towa City escaped was because Enoshima Junko wanted to use this city for a new experiment. As for cities in other places, they were either destroyed by nuclear explosions or completely destroyed by war."

“How could it be…”

"No, it's true."

At this moment, Nanami Chiaki also came to Fang Zheng and nodded.

"In fact, we originally planned to go to Hope's Peak Academy and use it as our base after rescuing everyone, because other places are almost completely collapsed. The country, the army, the police... almost everything has been completely destroyed."

"And now, we have a better foothold."

Fang Zheng shrugged and looked towards the tall tower not far away.

"But before that, we still have to deal with a few troubles."
