Chapter 2 Power Convergence

The crowd in the market was bustling, and all kinds of sounds converged into a symphony of the end of the world. I, alias Smith, dressed in a robe and a wide-brimmed hat, disguised as a mysterious fortune teller, observing everyone's face here, looking for clues to revenge. Suddenly, a commotion caught my attention. I saw a familiar figure shuttled through the crowd. It was Arya, a former member of the resistance organization. Her movements were agile and decisive, like a leopard hunting in the jungle. However, she seemed to be in trouble and was surrounded by a group of ferocious thugs. I frowned, and an inexplicable worry surged in my heart. Although Arya was good at fighting, she might not be able to escape from so many enemies. I decided to help her. After all, she was the guardian of my laboratory, and we had a common enemy-Reynolds. I walked quickly towards the group of thugs, holding the crystal ball for divination in my hand, with an unfathomable smile on my face. I shouted loudly: "Everyone, wait! This lady's fate is extraordinary. If you hurt her, you will probably bring endless bad luck!" My words immediately attracted the attention of the thugs. They stopped what they were doing and turned to look at me. I took the opportunity to continue to say: "I am a fortune teller who can see through people's fate. This lady has a great mission. Her existence is related to the future of the entire apocalypse. If you are her enemy, you are the enemy of the entire future!" My words made the thugs fall into contemplation, and they began to hesitate whether to continue to besiege Arya. Taking this opportunity, Arya suddenly broke free from the restraints of a thug and kicked him to the ground with a beautiful roundhouse kick. Then, she rushed out of the encirclement like a whirlwind and disappeared in the crowd. I breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that my plan was successful. I turned around and prepared to leave the market, but suddenly felt someone pulling my sleeve. I looked back and it turned out to be Arya, who was looking at me with eyes full of gratitude and curiosity. "Thank you, mysterious fortune teller." Arya said, "I am very interested in what you said just now. Can you tell me more about the truth of the end of the world?" I smiled and nodded. So, in the corner of the market, I began to reveal to Arya the secret about the end of the world, about Reynolds, and about our common revenge plan. As I told her, Arya's eyes gradually became firm. She held my hand tightly and said, "Smith, I am willing to join your revenge plan and fight against the devil Reynolds with you!" I felt a sense of relief. With Arya's joining, my road to revenge will no longer be lonely. We smiled at each other, and we both knew in our hearts that although the road ahead is full of hardships and challenges, we will work hand in hand and face it together.

The crowd in the market gradually dispersed, and Arya and I began to plan our next move.

"Reynolds's power has infiltrated every corner of this city. We have to be careful." I whispered.

Arya nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I know, but as long as we can find his weakness, we can hit him with one blow."

We decided to collect more intelligence about Reynolds first, to understand his whereabouts and plans. So we split up, Arya was responsible for contacting the previous members of the resistance organization, and I continued to inquire about the news in the market as a fortune teller.

A few days later, we met again in the market. Arya brought a shocking news: Reynolds was planning a large-scale biological and chemical weapons experiment, attempting to control the entire city through the virus.

"We must stop him!" I clenched my fists, my heart full of anger and determination.

Arya nodded: "Yes, we have to find a way to sneak into his laboratory, find the antidote to the virus, and make this news public."

We made a detailed plan and decided to act after nightfall. However, just as we were about to set off, an unexpected visitor suddenly appeared in front of us.

It was a mysterious man in a black cloak with a strange smile on his face: "I heard that you are looking for trouble with Reynolds? I can help you."

Alia and I looked at each other, full of vigilance. Who is this mysterious man? Is he here to help us, or does he have other purposes? Our road to revenge seems to be full of new unknowns and dangers.

"Who are you? Why should we believe you?" Alia asked vigilantly.

The mysterious man smiled, took off the hood of his cloak, revealing a face we had never seen before: "My name is Kyle, and I am Reynolds' enemy. He took away everything from me, and now I want to take back what belongs to me."

Alia and I exchanged glances, weighing the pros and cons in our hearts. Kyle's appearance undoubtedly increased our variables, but his purpose seemed to be consistent with ours.

"Okay, we can cooperate." I finally decided, "But you must tell us first, what is your plan?"

Kyle nodded and whispered his plan. It turned out that he had been secretly investigating Reynolds' whereabouts and found an opportunity to sneak into the laboratory. We can use this opportunity to find the antidote to the virus and expose Reynolds' crimes to the public.

As night fell, we acted according to Kyle's plan. Arya and Kyle were responsible for sneaking into the laboratory, while I was responsible for creating chaos outside to attract Reynolds' attention.

Everything went smoothly. Arya and Kyle successfully sneaked into the laboratory and found the antidote to the virus. And I fought a fierce battle with Reynolds' men outside.

Just as we were about to evacuate, something unexpected happened. Reynolds suddenly appeared at the door of the laboratory, with anger and madness flashing in his eyes.

"How dare you betray me!" He roared and rushed towards us.

Arya and Kyle reacted quickly and fought a fierce battle with Reynolds. And I took the opportunity to hand the antidote to the virus to the members of the resistance organization outside.

The battle was extremely fierce, and Reynolds's power seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. However, we did not give up and kept looking for his weaknesses.

Finally, under the joint attack of Alia and Kyle, Reynolds finally revealed a flaw. We seized this opportunity and defeated him in one fell swoop.

Reynolds fell to the ground, his eyes full of unwillingness and astonishment. And we stood there, panting, celebrating the arrival of victory.

However, just when we thought everything was over, a more dangerous enemy quietly appeared.

"Hahaha, do you think it's over after defeating Reynolds?" A hoarse voice echoed in the empty laboratory, "How naive."

We immediately looked at the source of the sound vigilantly, and saw a figure in a black cloak slowly walking out of the shadows. He had a weird smile on his face and an evil light flashing in his eyes.

"I am the leader of the Shadow Organization, and your behavior has completely angered me." He said coldly, "Now, I will take action myself and let you see the real power."

As soon as the voice fell, he disappeared instantly. The next second, a powerful energy wave attacked from all directions, catching us off guard.

"Be careful!" Arya shouted, dodging quickly and condensing an energy barrier to resist the energy fluctuation.

Kyle and I also reacted quickly and immediately took a defensive stance. However, the intensity of this energy fluctuation was beyond our imagination, and our defense was instantly defeated.

Then, the figure of the shadow leader appeared in front of us. He stretched out a hand, with his palm facing us, and an even more terrifying energy was condensing.
