Lu Xiaoran looked at the control panel in his hand, relieved that the alarm had just disappeared. They must have dealt with those people by now.
Waving his hand dismissively, Lu Xiaoran placed the control panel into a drawer. He had been halfway through his breakfast earlier, and now that the issue was resolved, he returned to the dining table and picked up his chopsticks to continue eating.
After finishing his breakfast, Lu Xiaoran took out his phone and began browsing the internet. In recent days, he had been following news about violent incidents online. It had been a month since the gas attack on Haitong City, and many families had run out of food.
To avoid starvation, some people had started to resort to desperate measures, such as breaking into their neighbors' homes to steal food. With the rule of law effectively vanished, the only thing left to restrain people's actions was their own moral compass.
However, in the face of survival, any sense of morality seemed trivial. Every day in Haitong City, incidents of robbery and murder were occurring. After reading about several neighbors who had been killed over food thefts, Lu Xiaoran shook his head with a smile and said, "Although humans are considered higher animals, at the end of the day, they are still animals."
When pushed to the brink, the superficial virtues of humanity would be completely torn away, leaving only the raw beastliness beneath.
Just as Lu Xiaoran was about to close the webpage, a WeChat message popped up on his phone.
"Isn't anyone from the Community Committee going to do something? The family across from us was killed last night; if this continues, everyone in the building will end up dead at their hands."
Lu Xiaoran opened the message and saw it was posted in the community owners' group. He scrolled through the messages in that group and read about what had happened.
In that building, several people had run out of food and started eyeing their neighbors' supplies. Last night, a resident across from him had been murdered by this gang of robbers.
Now terrified, he wanted to contact a member of the Community Committee in the group to catch these robbers. However, the members of the Community Committee were not fools; as long as that gang didn't target their homes, they were unwilling to take risks to apprehend anyone.
So even though that owner had earnestly sent several messages in the group, no one from the Community Committee responded.
Wait a minute; this doesn't seem like my old neighborhood.
Lu Xiaoran frowned slightly as he noticed that the name of the WeChat group was "Lingguang Community Building," which was not the neighborhood he had previously rented in. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that this was the community where Liu Qingwan and her family lived.
Initially, Liu Qingwan had wanted him to help share some news in the community group, so she had added him to the chat. He wondered if the family that had been killed was the Liu family. A cold smile crept onto Lu Xiaoran's lips as he carefully scrolled through the previous messages, trying to confirm whether it was indeed Liu Qingwan's family that had been murdered.
However, halfway through, Lu Xiaoran suddenly realized something important. According to his memories, on the night of the tenth of the month, a strange light appeared in the sky, and many people across the realm awakened their abilities afterward. Lu Xiaoran himself had awakened his Copy Ability on that very day. The Liu family, on the other hand, had only moved into his neighborhood after Lu Xiaoran had awakened his ability.
