A group of people were imprisoned in a dilapidated hall. They thought they had finally found a glimmer of hope, because the villain promised them that they could exchange their former gold and silver treasures for their freedom.
Clinging to their last hope, people brought out all the treasures they had.
Strings of gold chains, diamond rings, and gold bracelets shimmer with the splendor and wealth of yesteryear.
A glint of greed flashed in the wicked man's eyes as he looked at the treasures, as if he could see his own riches and glory reflected in them.
However, when a group of people handed the treasure over to the wicked man, he unceremoniously threw it to the ground.
Gold and silver fragments scattered all over the ground, making a crisp sound.
The villain smirked and looked at the group of people, saying mockingly, "Do you think these things are still useful?"
Would the world lack these things nowadays?
Now, they're just a pile of garbage.
"how so?"
"Aren't these worthless?"
"My diamond ring was worth millions! How could it become something like trash?"
"My gold and diamond necklace is worth tens of millions! And now it's being treated like trash."
The imprisoned people were immediately plunged into despair.
Their eyes filled with tears; their former hope instantly turned into endless despair.
They couldn't believe that their former wealth had become so insignificant, even treated like trash.
Although Shangguan Wan'er was mentally prepared, she was still stunned when she saw the facts Junjue had said were actually right in front of her.
The Duke pulled the person who was watching the play in a daze into his arms and whispered:
"Wan'er, in today's world, those things that were once valuable and so-called wealth are just fleeting clouds."
From now on, food and weapons will be the most valuable things.
Because he had learned from his previous life that women without any ability would only become playthings of the strong and powerful in the apocalypse.
From now on, any piece of bread, a pack of compressed biscuits, or a can of food can be exchanged for a night with a school beauty.
"Alas! This world is becoming more and more terrifying. Human morality is declining, and it is increasingly deviating from its original course." After Wan'er finished speaking, she hugged Junjue's lean waist tightly and continued to watch the situation not far away.
A middle-aged man, clutching a gold necklace, asked tremblingly, "Why? We've given everything, why are you treating us like this?"
The villain sneered and said to the middle-aged man, "Do you think that your past wealth can buy you freedom? Your so-called wealth is just an illusion, and it has no value now."
Aren't you all just as worthless trash?
An elderly woman burst into tears: "We've lost everything, why do you still mock us like this? Don't you have any humanity at all? Has the world become so despicable?"
The villain coldly looked at the weeping woman and said mockingly, "Humanity? In this constant natural disaster, humanity has long since vanished."
Only ability and self-interest are the true rules of survival. Do you think your tears can move me? That's just a performance by the weak.
"how so."
Why has the world become like this?
Has the world really changed completely? What should we do in the future?
People collapsed to the ground, utterly devastated.
They originally thought that by giving up their former wealth, they could exchange it for freedom and dignity, but reality cruelly told them that everything they had was just an illusion.
In that endless darkness, they supported each other and spoke bitterly to one another.
"This is where you'll all be from now on. Don't even think about escaping." After saying that, the bald man locked the door and left the hall with his group of companions.
"What do we do? We can never go back."
"Perhaps this is the truth behind natural disasters: only the strong can survive, while the weak can only be manipulated at will."
"We were once so proud and honored, but now we've become pathetic, powerless wretches."
"Perhaps we should accept this fact and find new ways to survive."
The conversation among the group was filled with sadness and despair; the women, their illusions shattered, wept in despair.
Their hopes were utterly shattered. They were no longer the masters they once were, but pitiful creatures trampled by fate.
The villain stood above them, looking down at the dejected group, his eyes filled with nothing but indifference and mockery.
He knew they had lost everything and were no longer of any value.
This is the cruel reality of this world, ruthlessly destroying all of people's fantasies and hopes.
In this world, the weak are trampled upon, while the strong survive.
Seeing the group leave, Wan'er asked with some concern:
"Lord, those two girls have been captured for so long, why haven't they been released yet?"
Where did that person take them? Will they ever come back?
Junjue gently stroked Wan'er's hair and said softly, "They will be back tonight or tomorrow at the latest, Wan'er, don't worry too much."
"Hmm!" Knowing that the girl would come back, Wan'er felt relieved.
Junjue knew that the two girls were quite pretty, and that if they were taken out, they would definitely be used as playthings for those who had the means to play with them.
However, his girlfriend was still young, and he didn't want to explain things too clearly, lest he hurt her young heart.
Two girls, with their hands tied, were dragged out, cleaned, and then taken to a clean and tidy room.
"Gentlemen, the goods you requested have arrived, and they will definitely satisfy you."
"Okay! If you're satisfied with this transaction, we can continue trading next time."
"What are you trying to do? What kind of deal?"
"What are goods? Are you treating us like commodities to be traded?"
The two girls fell to the ground, their faces filled with shock, and then fear spread throughout their bodies.
The bald men stopped talking, gave the two girls a meaningful look, and left, kindly locking the door behind them.
Five or six men with fierce expressions were sitting in the room. When they saw the two pretty girls being pushed in, their eyes turned lewd.
The girls saw this horrifying scene, and their hearts began to tremble.
They stood there helplessly, sensing the evil aura emanating from the group of men.
They knew they could not escape this fate, and despair enveloped them.
A heavy atmosphere permeated the dilapidated room. The men's eyes kept roaming over the two girls, as if they were enjoying this wicked pleasure.
The two girls were troubled by the stares and felt an unprecedented fear.
