Chapter 22 You Inferior People
Wu Chuyu asked, puzzled, "What does this mean?"
A bespectacled man walked up to her and tapped Wu Chuyu on the head. "It means we need to demonstrate our value."
Wu Chuyu suddenly realized, "I'm very valuable! Boss Shan will definitely agree. But, brother, although Boss Shan is very powerful, you two didn't know each other before, so why do you and Sister Wendy want Boss Shan to be the boss so much?"
Wu Chuci and her sister are both short and have the same round face.
He pushed up his glasses, his baby face displaying a profound and inscrutable expression.
"Chu Yu, a hero emerges in chaotic times."
"A ruthless hero?"
"Yes, that's what a ruthless hero is. A popular hero is someone who saves people from suffering and bears too much unnecessary responsibility. Being too kind-hearted makes it difficult to survive in chaotic times."
That Miss Shan, no, I mean Boss Shan, her martial arts prowess is undeniable. The two people beside her are outstanding individuals in both appearance and martial arts, but they are clearly loyal to Boss Shan.
This shows she has personal charisma and is capable of being a leader. Being able to foresee the monsters' arrival and go out to fight them in advance indicates she must have special intelligence channels—that's connections.
They came and eliminated the monsters outside our house—that's kindness. But letting us handle the rest ourselves—that's guidance. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Kindness is not blind kindness.
In conclusion, this is a very promising leader, so it's essential to get on his good side early.
I trust my judgment, my dear sister, do you trust your brother?
Wu Chuci's voice grew increasingly excited, and his eyes shone brighter. He had a premonition that although the apocalypse was difficult, there were also opportunities—opportunities to break free from constraints and escape the cage!
Wu Chuyu felt overwhelmed by the rambling and confused chatter, but she noticed the last sentence and nodded emphatically.
"Yes, I believe in my brother!"
Wendy gave a thumbs-up, "I agree too! Let's go! We'll definitely get Boss Shan's approval!"
"What the hell? How could that girl who killed my family, a mere child, possibly lead us to survive? Didn't you see how heartlessly she abandoned so many people? Are you all insane?!"
Suddenly, a discordant voice interrupted the three's conversation.
The man who came was a middle-aged man who was a little bald. His family of three had been reduced to one, and he had nowhere to vent his grief. He always needed to find someone to blame so that he could feel better.
Wendy and the other two knew this, but given that Robert had just lost a loved one, they didn't say much.
Seeing that the three didn't react, Robert persisted, "Speak up! Why did you have to send such a ruthless executioner? Aren't you afraid that someone else will be killed by her?"
Wu Chuyu couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to start criticizing, "Uncle, you have superpowers, why didn't you stand up from the beginning?"
By then, the mountain leader had already killed most of the monsters, and there were only a few left at your door. Did you really have to wait until they broke into the room and cornered you all before you would make a move?
Besides, we didn't see what happened inside your house. Who knows if you were just focused on running away and deliberately abandoned your wife and children?
"You!" Robert's eyes widened in fury, his muscles bulged, and his strength-based superpowers erupted as he lunged at Wu Chuyu, ready to attack. "You foul mouth, I'll tear you apart!"
Wu Chuyu snorted coldly, and a fireball about half the size of a fist appeared in her hand. She waved her hand forward, and the fireball hit Robert, immediately setting his clothes on fire.
Then he threw another fireball. Robert didn't even care about tearing the mouths off others; he immediately fell to the ground and rolled around, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
Are the fires of fire-type ability users so easily extinguished?
"Aaaaaah! Help! Murder!"
Wu Chuci frowned, signaling to his sister to stop.
Wu Chuyu pouted and unhappily put away the fire.
The commotion attracted quite a few people.
Robert's neighbor, who knew him well, saw that he was in a disheveled state and quickly pulled him away to clean him up.
"Hehe, bro, aren't I awesome~"
Wu Chuci smiled helplessly, "Impressive. To deal with some people, you have to give them a taste of their power so they can completely give up any improper thoughts."
Wendy listened quietly the whole time, nodding to show that she had learned something as well.
She felt she had made the right choice by getting close to a powerful figure early on. Although her mother-in-law didn't approve, she was determined to be firm this time!

Shan Ran was completely unaware of the situation here.
She was looking at her phone.
This time, the research institute acted quickly, naming the two types of nightmare beasts that have emerged and classifying them into different levels.
The research institute stated that more monsters will continue to appear, and the initial ones should be the weakest "vanguard." They hope that the public will be prepared to fight against potentially more powerful monsters that follow.
The news was released simultaneously on three continents.
It's already good enough that we can maintain the network now; we can't afford to build any more firewalls.
The frequency of the appearance of the Nightmare Beasts in the mist is currently unpredictable.
They might appear continuously for two hours, or they might not appear at all for most of the day.
However, there are no living people left in any of the misty groups.
The visibility there is extremely poor, and there are many ferocious beasts; it is a well-known forbidden area.
Those who are still alive have all escaped.
Some fog formations are in the wilderness, while others are right inside residential areas; there's no discernible pattern to them.
The research institute initially speculated that the mist might be a passage connecting to another world, from which the monsters were continuously transported.
However, these are all just speculations, and there are no concrete conjectures at present. Further investigation and research into the fog are needed before any explanation can be given.
This is the information provided by the first [unclear - possibly a typo].
The First Continent possessed the most advanced weaponry and suffered the lowest casualty rate, thus having the fastest reaction time.
Many people from the second and third continents are pleading for help, wanting the first continent to send people over, or to send more weapons.
The Third Continent was the largest in area and had the largest population, but also suffered the most casualties. Many survivors, upon seeing the First Continent's statement, grasped at it like a lifeline and flocked to beg for help from the higher-ups.
This post was quickly disabled for replies.
【You lowly people, tsk tsk, you pathetic vermin, don't indulge in such pointless fantasies. It's already a blessing that you've even seen our post. Stop making a racket and shouting everywhere; why are you taking advantage of our kindness?】
A post like this suddenly appeared in the First Continent section.
The person who left the message used their real name—Rui Shao.
[Hehe, Young Master Rui has spoken! Young Master Rui is truly awesome!]
Why are people from the Third Continent logging onto our forum? Isn't that a garbage dump? It smells awful.
We're already dealing with monsters ourselves, who cares about the things living in the junkyard? Stop daydreaming, okay?
Hahahaha, this is hilarious!
[...]
When a top-ranking official insults someone of lower status, a chorus of cheers erupts from below, directed at his lackeys.
Previously, with the protection of the walls, crickets could only be cricketed in secret. Now, however, they can be insulted openly and freely, and the insults can be hurled at them with great pleasure.
No one dared to say anything; the lower class was cowardly, the upper class was indifferent, and those in the middle watched from the sidelines.
[Hey~ where did that barking dog come from? And a bunch of bastards chasing after it and licking its poop. They're even worse than dogs.]
Not long after, someone from the Third Continent posted the thread in the First Continent section.
It's not far from the previous sarcastic post, and its target is quite obvious.
Immediately, someone posted a comment below.
[You have no skill, but you're incredibly bold. Did the monsters in the sea give you that courage?]
[Exactly! Don't think that just because there's no communication between the mainland and other regions, you can act with impunity. Remember your place! A lower-class person is a lower-class person!]
[Did you think you could rise up just because the apocalypse has arrived? Do you know how we on the First Continent deal with the Nightmare Beasts? We have the most advanced weapons, the fastest-range defensive systems and offensive equipment. We directly bombard the fog with our weapons; the Nightmare Beasts are instantly killed as soon as they show their faces. Can you even imagine such a scene? No, you've never even seen it, how could you possibly imagine it? Hahahahahaha...]
[Have the guts to say your name. Don't hide in the shadows like a coward, waiting for us to come after you later. Of course, it won't be Young Master Rui coming after you; a worm like you isn't worth Young Master Rui's personal attention.]
[...]
It's obvious that these are all the lackeys from before replying to the post.
Original Poster: [I will not change my name or surname, please call me Young Master Shang.]
【Pah! What Young Master Shang? Full name? Dare to give your full name?】
Original Poster: [Hehe, my name is Young Master Shang. Come and beat me up if you dare, hehe~]
【Your mom%&@￥%@￥……】
Seeing that some people anonymously came out to criticize those aristocratic families, people from the Third Continent also came out to reply one after another. Since they were all anonymous and the people from that side couldn't come over for the time being, why not vent our anger now?
Who knows if I'll die tomorrow? Who knows what terrible things might appear later? I've been living in fear for so long, I might as well let it all out now.
The post immediately sparked a heated argument.
Wang Rui is the legitimate son of a collateral branch of the Wang family, one of the four prominent families.
He posted the same sarcastic comments in his previous life.
The walls were broken down, and the differences between classes were ruthlessly exposed.
Many people from the Third Continent were indignant and embarrassed. A small number of them still had the energy to hurl insults at each other, but most of them didn't even have the energy to do so.
Yes, those "upper class" don't even need to lift a finger. Their weapons and defense systems are so advanced that they can easily wipe out large numbers of monsters just by sitting at home and watching the shells bombard them.
This is a fighting style that "lower-class people" wouldn't even dare to imagine.
Guns are banned in the Third Continent, and even basic weapons are scarce. Families can only rely on kitchen knives, hammers, and wooden sticks for self-defense. Many families are running out of food and don't even know where their next meal will come from, yet they still have to spare energy to fight off the monsters.
Now this land is ravaged and devastated, and people have lost the strength to be angry.
I just want to live. I don't know how long I'll live, but I'll just live for now.
