“Ridiculous!”
“This is f**king ridiculous!”
“This is the most ridiculous thing in the world!”
“So what if our Tsinghua bus fare is discounted? How can they forget about us?!”
In the ruins of the bandit village, the embarrassed Tsinghua bus admissions supervisor cursed, “F*ck! Refund the money!”
“Yes, yes, yes.” The bearded man nodded repeatedly. “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. This is another serious mistake of ours. When I saw Student Chen Yu leading the passengers out, I thought it was just these people…”
“Chen Yu is from Beijing University! There are f*cking good people at Beijing University?! Just think about it with your prostate and you’ll know that they want us dead!”
“You’re being too serious, my friend.” The person in charge of Beijing University interrupted and pointed at Chen Yu. “Chen Yu is still a child. What bad intentions can a child have?”
“Heh.” Chen Yu smiled cooperatively, revealing eight teeth.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by a mask.
“Everyone, hurry up and leave. We’ve already wasted too much time. The power of the Educating Avengers might really come. When that time comes, it’ll be very troublesome.” The bearded man smiled sheepishly.
“Do you still know that you’ve wasted too much time? You’re blaming us?”
“No, no. Calm down. The company will definitely compensate you…”
“…” After muttering to himself for a while, the person in charge of Tsinghua University did not say anything more and stopped when things were going well.
After all, the other party was a Level 6 big shot, so he did not dare to go too far.
Everyone walked out of the forest again, joined the convoy, and left the place quickly.
Perhaps it was worth mentioning that the bearded man had arranged for the person in charge of Tsinghua University’s enrollment and the person in charge of Beijing University to sit in the same car…
Then, everyone listened to the crosstalk throughout the journey.
The head of Tsinghua University: “Why are you looking at me? If you weren’t involved in this matter, I wouldn’t believe you even if you castrated me.”
The head of Beijing University: “Who the f*ck is looking at you? Are you stinging my eyes?”
Tsinghua University: “Competition is competition, but your dirty tricks are despicable, pui!”
Beijing University: “In order to save all of you, we wasted everyone’s time and still haven’t said anything, yet you’re still acting all ‘cocky’? Do you still have any sense of shame?”
Tsinghua University: “As expected, the fish look for the fish and shrimp look for the shrimp. It’s a pity that Chen Yu, this child, has already learned something bad from you before he even entered school.”
Beijing University: “Ptui! Without our school’s Chen Yu, do you still have the chance to talk nonsense here? You would have been chopped into ribs long ago.”
Tsinghua University: “We are indeed grateful to Chen Yu. But that doesn’t include you.”
Beijing University: “Chen Yu is my student. Why shouldn’t that include me?”
Tsinghua University: “Alright then, I wish that you will be cremated and the sarira will explode.”
Beijing University: “Then I also wish that you will be able to shit and have water splashing in your mouth.”
Tsinghua University: “I wish that you will be shot in the head with a death sentence.”
Beijing University: “I wish that you will be buried in a place without good fengshui…”
…
At the same time, in a villa thousands of miles away.
The black shadow sat in a dark corner of the study and listened to his subordinate’s report. He calmly waved his hand and said, “You may leave.”
“Yes.”
After his subordinate closed the door and left, the black shadow slowly stood up, picked up his cup, and took a sip.
“Chen Yu…”
He muttered in a low voice, “Chen Yu…”
“The top scorer of Qingcheng City…”
After a long while, he pulled down the necklace on his neck and looked at the small words ‘Fight for fairness’ on his pocket watch. His eyes were in a trance.
“Is this the genius that you sacrificed countless lives for to dig up…”
“…”
“…”
“Ridiculous.”
…
The Capital.
It was known as Yanjing in ancient times.
It was currently the most important city in Asia.
It was also the absolute center of politics, martial arts, economy, and culture.
It was also at the forefront of fighting against exotic beasts.
Since the ‘apocalypse,’ although the Capital had never encountered a Beast Tide, it was also recognized by the world as the only city that had the possibility of resisting a Beast Tide.
Facing the threat of exotic beasts, the world was mainly divided into two factions.
The resistance faction and the guerrilla faction.
The former, just like the Capital City, gathered the essence of the entire country and built a fortress with max combat strength, max defense, max research, and max reputation.
It preserved the potential of humans to the greatest extent and unleashed their abilities.
The latter, just like Jian Guo, had a scattered population and formed hundreds of thousands of small strongholds that were connected to each other. When the Beast Tide arrived, a few of them would die and throw away their cars to protect the commander, preventing them from being wiped out in one go.
But in this way, the country would not have much development to speak of. All the individuals were living by a fluke.
From the looks of it, the resistance had an advantage in both methods.
But this advantage was not clear.
Because there had yet to be a Beast Tide that had descended upon the Capital.
If there was such an opportunity, the Capital would resist the Beast Tide, and it would definitely cause an earth-shattering change to the entire human concept system…
“Is this the Capital City… There are no walls?”
As the Zhongtong convoy slowly drove into the smooth asphalt pavement, Duan Ye leaned out and looked around.
“This is the outskirts of the Capital City,” the bearded man sitting in the front passenger seat said. “It’s still a long way from the real Capital City.”
“Then aren’t the people here afraid of sporadic attacks from exotic beasts?”
“No. Because there are almost no exotic beasts in the vicinity. If one appears, it will be ganged up on by the instructors and students who want to practice their skills.”
“Oh my god…” Duan Ye was shocked.
This was the first city he had encountered that completely suppressed exotic beasts in terms of combat strength.
“As expected, it can only be said that it’s worthy of being called the capital…”
“A small number of exotic beasts aren’t afraid. But if the Beast Tide comes, how long will it take for these people to retreat back into the city?” Chen Yu suddenly spoke from the back seat.
“Oh?” Hearing this, the bearded man turned his head, he glanced at Chen Yu. “Classmate, you’ve discovered a problem. The truth is… These people can’t retreat back. There are already a lot of people in the city. The population outside the city is four times that of the city. Once the Beast Tide comes, once all of them rush into the city, even martial artists would find it difficult to pass through, let alone resist.”
“Then with so many people… Doesn’t that mean…” Duan Ye was shocked.
“Feed the exotic beasts.” Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.
“Yes.” The bearded man nodded. “Because the Capital is strong, when the Beast Tide doesn’t arrive, it’s much safer than other cities. Therefore, for the sake of survival, for the sake of living, for the sake of their children’s education, these commoners can only live outside the city.”
“…” Chen Yu was silent.
There was still something he didn’t say out loud in his heart.
Once the Beast Tide arrived… These people might even become food for the exotic beasts to ‘withdraw from the war’…
“The lotus pond will wither, and the tadpoles will fight.”
Chen Yu took out a cigarette, lit one, put it into his mouth, and took a deep breath.
“Hu…”
After the smoke slowly dissipated, the hawkers on both sides of the street became more and more ear-piercing.
“Candied haws! Authentic old capital candied haws…”
“Guess what? Hey! Look! Old Beijing fried liver! It’s really authentic…”
“Rongcheng Beauty Salon big reward…”
Flicking the ash from the cigarette, Chen Yu turned his head and stopped looking.
It was the same as Qingcheng.
Under the surface of peace, stability, and excitement, there was too much blood, cruelty, and despair.
“You’re right.” He said to the bearded man in the front passenger seat, “Humans have reached their limit.”
