Bang!
In the offices of all the universities in the country.
The middle-aged man sitting in the middle had a cold expression on his face as he slammed the table hard. “Continue! Seal off the entire city. If those foreigners dare to charge, kill them on the spot!”
“Yes!” The president of Kainan University nodded solemnly and left quickly.
“Although the last intelligence hasn’t been sent over, the Beast Tide will definitely arrive before daybreak. You only have a few hours to complete the work that was previously planned.”
“Yes!”
The other three university principals also nodded and left.
Slowly standing up, the middle-aged man looked around at the principals in the room and lowered his tone, “If there are no accidents, this should be our last meeting.”
“…” Hearing this, the principals were silent.
“After this Beast Tide, regardless of whether the capital is broken or not…” The middle-aged man took out a seal from his pocket and placed it on the table. “In any case, I don’t exist anymore. My position will temporarily be handed over to the principal of Beijing University. Does anyone have any objections?”
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the bearded old man among them.
“Do you have any objections?” the middle-aged man asked the old man.
“…No.”
“Then that’s it. Take care of your own matters.” Nodding his head, the middle-aged man pushed the seal to the other party. “Time is of the essence. Meeting adjourned.”
“Yes.” ×33
Reaching out, he picked up the seal. The bearded principal’s voice was hoarse. “You…”
“Stop talking. Let’s go.”
“…Yes.”
After everyone left.
The middle-aged man slowly walked to the French window with his hands behind his back, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts…
Beast Tide.
It was a tide of exotic beasts gathered together.
The number was usually more than a million.
The vast majority of them came from the void. In terms of strength, from Level 2 to Level 8, as long as the initial scale was formed, it wouldn’t be disturbed at all.
Lights, noise, and even human flesh… could not shake the pace and direction of the Beast Tide.
Since the end of the world, every year, there would be a dozen to dozens of Beast Tides. The result was that cities would be destroyed and people would die. There was no exception.
The only result of the stalemate was Short Spring City in the north.
During that battle, the country mobilized almost all of its strength to provide support. Although it was unable to stop the destruction of the city, it brought a glimmer of hope to the world.
It proved that the Beast Tide was not theoretically impossible to resist…
And now, the Beast Tide was targeting the capital, the largest gathering place of humans. The opportunity to test the theory with experiments had arrived.
For this day, the College Committee had been setting up for many years.
After expending a huge amount of manpower, material resources, potential, resources, and reputation…
The time was right.
The location was right.
The people were right.
They were right.
As long as they could win this match, the precarious human civilization would be injected with a strong will!
The combined form and consciousness would have the absolute advantage.
The structure of the entire world could also be changed in an instant.
Heavy fortresses like capital city would spring up like bamboo shoots after rain, one after another. The entire civilization would definitely enter a new era…
But….
If it failed…
All hope would cease to exist.
The Beast Tide would be unstoppable and would become an iron law because society would no longer have the ability to create another capital city.
What awaited humanity was only the path of destruction…
In front of the window, the middle-aged man looked at the neon-lit capital city outside the window with a dazed look in his eyes.
“The dead knows everything is empty…”
“The dead knows everything is empty…”
…
By the time Chen Yu returned to his dormitory, the air-raid sirens in Beijing City had already sounded twice.
Military vehicles were running wildly in the streets and alleys, just like what happened in Qingcheng. They were gathering martial artists and evacuating minors.
“All students! Warning! The Beast Tide is coming! The Beast Tide is coming…” Outside the window, the members of the Student Union shouted at the top of their lungs, “Go downstairs immediately and gather in the school square with the class as a unit.”
“All of you go downstairs!” Beside them, the masked Enforcer said coldly, “Within ten minutes, or you will be killed without mercy!”
Huala.
Pulling open the curtains, Chen Yu glanced at the chaotic downstairs, calmly changed into a set of clothes, and opened the bed cabinet.
Inside the cabinet was all his wealth.
A full tank of A-Rank synthetic fluid.
Half a tank of A-Rank synthetic fluid.
A police 92 handgun.
A national treasure — Magnum .44 Good and Evil Will Be Rewarded.
There were also some miscellaneous items and a pet egg.
He unzipped his backpack and put in all the useful items. Chen Yu held the Ghost-Faced Giant Lizard egg in his left hand and the big backpack in his right hand. He rushed out of the room and went straight to the top floor along the empty spare staircase.
Then, he used the space movement skill and flashed to the roof.
Pata.
He placed the pet egg and the backpack in a hidden corner and hid them well. Chen Yu looked around and slowly put on the mask of a Law Enforcer.
Woo woo woo —
In the distance, the third wave of air defense alarms sounded mournfully.
Chen Yu tightened his robe and stood on the roof facing the cold night wind. He looked ahead.
The rain had stopped at some point.
But the sky was still not quiet.
Thousands of fighter planes, armed helicopters, and bombing airships whizzed past, heading straight for the west.
If there were no accidents… They would never have the chance to return.
Just like his friend…
“…”
Inexplicably, an evil fire mixed with violence surged into his heart.
Chen Yu’s eyes were gloomy as he slowly took out the Magnum. He aimed the muzzle of the .44 revolver at his temple and gently pulled the trigger.
Creak, creak, creak…
The sound of the spring tightening was exceptionally clear in this chaotic night…
Bang!
The hammer fell and hit the bottom of the air bomb, detonating the kinetic energy within.
The force of expansion pushed the body of the bullet to spin, shooting out of the seamless steel tube and into Chen Yu’s mind.
[Cursed: All Physical Fitness Temporarily +77%]
[Blood and Qi +2605]
[Temporary Metabolic Function +1222; Temporary Organ Comprehensive Strength +834]
[Temporary Pain Tolerance +303; Probability of Shock -39%…]
“Hu…”
Feeling the surging energy in his body, Chen Yu’s face turned red, his whole body trembled, and his breathing became rapid. His heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.
After a long period of peace, he put away his revolver and stretched his body. He simply adapted to the sudden increase in his physique and then activated his Qi to add another layer of buff to himself.
“Martial Arts — Leap of Faith!”
[Body restrained: Explosive Force +37%]
Crack crack crack…
He stretched his body hard, and his bones exploded like the sound of beans.
This feeling that every cell was filled with power made Chen Yu fall into a trance for a moment.
He took a deep breath.
He turned around and looked at his hidden property. Without any hesitation, he turned around and jumped down from the dormitory building.
Whoosh —
While he was falling, he did not do anything to deflect the force or avoid it. Instead, he fell straight to the ground from a height of dozens of meters!
Boom!
[Received damage: Qi and Blood +671]
With a loud sound, smoke and dust rose into the air.
With Chen Yu as the center, the bricks and stones within a ten-meter radius cracked inch by inch, shocking the students in the distance.
The members of the Student Union turned their heads and looked at the big pit on the ground, then at the mask that Chen Yu was wearing. None of them dared to react.
Only the Enforcer simply waved his hand at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu also responded with a wave of his hand and adjusted the mask. He bent his knees slightly and his entire body turned into a spring.
After accumulating strength for a few seconds, he instantly shot out!
Dong!
The force exerted by his feet was so fierce that it actually caused a ball of fire to appear on the ground.
Under this terrifying driving force, Chen Yu’s body was as fast as a bullet. He did not even leave behind an afterimage before he disappeared in front of everyone…
“…A Level 1 force has such speed.”
The eyes of the Enforcer darted around.
He was certain that under this kind of speed, even an ordinary Level 4 martial artist would not have the time to react…
Bang…
Bang bang bang!
Along the way, explosions continued.
Chen Yu wantonly squandered his infinite physical strength and strength to increase his maximum speed.
Only when the wind resistance in front of him gradually felt like it was liquid did he rationally slow down his footsteps.
But even so, no one could see his shadow clearly.
They could only feel a gust of demonic wind blowing past them…
Soon, with his extreme speed, he arrived at the Professor’s Villa Area of Tsinghua University.
That’s right, he was here to find Professor Zhen Congming.
After all, the Beast Tide was coming. If he didn’t come to get the ‘cultivation technique’, he might not have a chance…
Squeak —
He stopped and found a hidden corner.
Chen Yu took off his mask and rubbed his high hairline. Then, he ran to Professor Zhen’s room and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock.
“Professor Zhen, are you at home?”
“Professor?”
Knock, knock…
There was no response in the room.
Standing at the door, Chen Yu hesitated for a moment. After knocking for a while, he gently pulled open the door handle.
Creak…
The door opened,
“Professor? It’s Chen Yu. Are you there?”
Chen Yu stuck his head into the door and shouted. He could only hear his faint echo.
“Transferred to the city wall?”
Frowning, he entered the villa and climbed the stairs. In the empty living room on the second floor, he found a big book on the wooden table.
On the cover of the book was a small note.
Stepping forward, Chen Yu looked at it.
‘If I don’t come back, but the capital is saved, then please give this book to my confidant, Chen Yu, Class 2, Year 1 of Beijing University.’
He picked up the note and read the words on it quietly. Chen Yu sighed deeply.
“Confidant.”
“Don’t die…”
He carefully put away the note.
He opened the book and read it carefully from beginning to end.
Sure enough, it recorded the method to spread one’s sea of Qi.
If it was him, it would be condensing his sea of Qi…
He looked around and found a relatively clean floor. He sat down cross-legged and followed the steps in the book to mobilize his Qi and spread his sea of Qi.
One minute.
Three minutes.
Five minutes…
His body gradually emitted a white light.
[Sea of Qi dispersing: Qi Density +32]
[Qi Density +34]
“It’s effective!” Chen Yu raised his head.
According to his excitement, practice made perfect, and he slowly increased the speed of ‘dispersing Qi’. The electronic synthetic sound reverberating in his ears suddenly accelerated.
[Sea of Qi dispersal: Qi Density +45]
[Qi Density +48]
[Qi Density +53]
[+61; +66; +74; +80…]
Woo woo woo —
When the air defense alarm sounded for the fourth time in the sky above the city, Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes.
The Qi vortex in his body had successfully turned from a mist into a drop of crystal clear liquid…
The empty space could also hold more force.
“Finally, I’m Level 2…”
He stood up and patted the dust off his buttocks. He put away the book, took a few last glances at the display in the room, and jumped out of the window to leave.
Under the cover of the nest, an egg was safe and sound.
He finally deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.
When the disaster came, all life, daily life, knowledge, dreams, interpersonal relationships… would no longer exist.
…
At the same time.
In the main square of Beijing University.
Thousands of students were fully armed.
They gathered in groups of two or three in their classes. Some were silent, some were whispering, some were afraid, and some were apprehensive.
Zhang Yanyan, on the other hand, was sighing.
“The joys and sorrows of life change too quickly.”
Ten hours ago, Chen Yu had won the elimination round. People were still eating conspiracy theories. They could not imagine how a first-year student had won.
Ten hours later, the truth of the Beast Tide incident was exposed.
Bahuang Yi’s lofty status had plummeted. On the Internet, in real life, every corner was filled with overwhelming criticism and abuse.
However, before people could vent ‘cleanly’, the Beast Tide came again…
Suddenly, absurdly, without any warning, it came.
Therefore, in the huge capital, many people who were attacking Bahuang Yi a second ago began to nervously discuss whether Bahuang Yi could move the Beast Tide to other cities…
As for what the people outside the capital thought, they didn’t care.
Anyway, the signal had disappeared. They couldn’t hear or see, and they could stretch their bottom line at will…
“In this kind of world, there’s nothing bad about being destroyed.”
Zhang Yanyan sneered and removed the bandage on her arm. For some reason, there was a faint feeling of ‘revenge’ in her heart.
“Yanyan, you say…”
Xu Ruo, who was sighing at the side, asked, “Will we die?”
“Don’t you still think that we have a chance to live?” Zhang Yanyan asked in return.
Xu Ruo: “…”
“This is the Beast Tide, thank you. Our strength is too weak. At this critical moment, we will only be cannon fodder. Even if the capital is preserved, we will not survive.”
“…But, I feel like I have died just like that. There are still many things that I haven’t done in time.”
“Life is like this.” Zhang Yanyan spread her hands. “If we die, everything will be zero. Moreover, don’t you think that we have already earned?”
“Earned… Earned what?” Xu Ruo was at a loss.
“Life.” Zhang Yanyan smiled. “Your life, my life, wasn’t it all saved by Chen Yu in the underground of that city back then? I’ve already earned it by living for an extra month.”
At the mention of the name ‘Chen Yu,’ Xu Ruo subconsciously looked at a corner in the distance.
There, on the seat of Year 1 Class 2, there was only Bahuang Yao alone.
“I don’t know where Brother Yu went. He hasn’t gathered yet.” Xu Ruo lowered her head. “Bahuang Yao looks so pitiful.”
“Their class… the situation is very complicated, right?”
Zhang Yanyan also looked at Bahuang Yao. “Duan Ye is from He City, and He City was directly destroyed by Bahuang Yi. Duan Ye also has a very good relationship with his sister, Bahuang Yao. This… Dog-blood relationship. Just thinking about it makes my scalp go numb.”
“Yeah, that Duan Ye didn’t come either.” Xu Ruo paused for a moment and said faintly, “We’re going up the city wall soon. I wonder if he’ll have the chance to look at Brother Yu again…”
Hearing that, Zhang Yanyan looked her up and down with a strange expression. “What’s there to look at? Catching up before he dies?”
“…I just want to see him.”
“Emmm… You… Don’t like Chen Yu, right?”
“Mm.”
With her death looming, Xu Ruo did not want to hide anything. She openly admitted, “I do like Brother Yu. I like him a lot.”
“Because he saved you?”
“It’s not just that. No matter what, he is an outstanding guy. Even if he did not save me, I would still fall in love with him.”
“…”
Zhang Yanyan was silent.
After a while, she said, “Then I have something I don’t know if I should tell you.”
“What is it? Tell me.” Xu Ruo gently pulled up her hair. “How many minutes do we have left?”
“Actually…”
Recalling the ‘sports’ that Chen Yu and Duan Ye did in the bus, Zhang Yanyan wanted to say something but hesitated. “Actually… Um… Chen Yu is…”
“If you have something to say, just say it. You’re stuttering.”
“…Chen Yu is… Gay.”
Xu Ruo: “???”
“Yes, he’s gay.”
Xu Ruo: “…”
“I… I’m not spouting nonsense.” Zhang Yanyan was anxious and gestured. “He and that Duan Ye have… done that kind of thing.”
“How… How do you know?” Xu Ruo’s expression was complicated. “Don’t listen to all these rumors and slander. It’s just hearsay.”
“I didn’t listen, I saw it with my own eyes.”
Xu Ruo: “…”
“We’re both from the Western Province, and we’re both top scorers. We rode the same bus. They just got to know each other, and then they drank some wine. While everyone was asleep, they started to act indecent.”
Xu Ruo: “…”
Zhang Yanyan: “Do you need me to describe the details to you? It’s just a wild party…”
“…There’s no need.” Xu Ruo’s face was ashen.
She knew Zhang Yanyan’s personality very well and knew that she would not lie.
“…”
“…”
The atmosphere between the two of them was gloomy.
Zhang Yanyan gradually began to regret it.
They were all people who were about to die, it would not be good to leave something behind…
Why did she have to say it out loud…
After a long silence, Zhang Yanyan gently patted Xu Ruo’s shoulder. “Little sister, let it go. Have you heard that saying?”
Xu Ruo: “…”
“Those outstanding men are rich, handsome, excellent, have good taste, have style, and understand romance. But often, these elegant men… love each other.”
Xu Ruo: “…”
She raised her head.
Looking at the dark clouds slowly dissipating in the night sky, Xu Ruo was expressionless. “This world…”
“Hurry up and destroy it.”
“That’s good.”
Zhang Yanyan: “…”
…
They rushed from Tsinghua University to Capital Square.
Chen Yu only took two minutes.
Standing at the top of a tree, his sharp eyes scanned half a circle. He soon found the small and weak figure of Bahuang Yao in the crowd.
Plop.
He bent his knees and jumped behind the girl.
Chen Yu reached out and patted her head. “Good evening, Xiao Yao.”
Bahuang Yao’s body trembled violently and she slowly turned around.
She saw that her originally delicate little face was filled with tears.
“Xiao Yao…”
“Brother Yu.” The young girl choked with sobs. There was only helplessness in her reddened eyes. “What should I do…”
Chen Yu’s heart throbbed faintly.
After a moment of silence, he opened his arms and hugged the young girl tightly in his embrace. “…Xiao Yao.”
“Brother Yu…” The young lady could no longer hold back her collapsing emotions and burst into tears. “What should I do… What should I do…”
“Don’t say anymore.” Chen Yu closed his eyes in heartache and placed his chin on the young lady’s head. “After giving birth, the child will have my surname.”
“…Huh?”
