The world was dangerous.
Traveling in a dangerous world was even more dangerous.
Therefore, it was unknown when the speed of trains, bullet trains, and high-speed trains began to slow down year by year.
Fortunately, Treasure City was very close to Beijing City. In less than two hours, they arrived at their destination.
Chen Yu and his group got off the train and passed through the security check. They left the city without stopping and headed to the last ‘lost’ position of the team member of Class 4.
“We’ll have to walk for the rest of the journey.” Zhang Gang ran at the front with a straight face. “The distance isn’t close. Don’t use too much strength and maintain your peak condition.”
Hearing that, Chen Yu turned his head to look in the direction of Treasure City and asked, “Maintain your condition? There are robbers at such a close location?”
“It’s not robbers, but exotic beasts.” Zhang Gang pointed straight ahead. “The further you go, the more exotic beasts there are. You’ll have to pray for yourselves.”
“If I remember correctly…” Chen Yu pondered. “Ahead should be Wangdu City. Between the Treasure City and Wangdu City, there shouldn’t be many exotic beasts, right? This is the main road.”
“Brother Yu, how many years of geographical knowledge do you have?” Duan Ye squinted. “Wangdu, it’s already gone.”
“Gone?”
“Yes. Just like He City, it was destroyed by the Beast Tide.” Duan Ye sighed. “Although the beast tide automatically disappeared in the end, there were still a few exotic beasts left behind. Because of the destruction of Wangdu City, the people of Treasure City didn’t head towards the southwest direction. Therefore, this area was abandoned.”
“No wonder the robbers used that place as their base.” Chen Yu thought for a while.
“…No.” At this moment, the experienced Zhang Tie shook his head and said, “The density of exotic beasts near Wangdu City is several times higher than that in the wild. How could an ordinary bandit group live here?”
Saying this, Zhang Tie looked at Zhang Gang, who was leading the team. “As a security officer, you should have thought of this. Since the drinks have been stolen to the direction of Beijing City, why don’t you advise the students to give up the mission?”
Zhang Gang suddenly stopped and didn’t look back. After being silent for a short while, he said, “I did. However, those elites don’t have to listen to me.”
“…” Zhang Yanyan lowered her head.
“A bunch of newbies who don’t know what danger is at all. They are also full of fantasies about quests. They think that with me, a high-level ‘player’ as their bodyguard, they can easily suppress any enemy below Level 4.”
At this point, Zhang Gang finally turned his head. He swept his gaze across all the students, including Chen Yu. “This is not a game. Thank you. Even if a Level 5 or 6 person came, there was no guarantee that they could successfully complete all the B-Rank missions, let alone a mere Level 4 person like me. This was reality. Reality is random. It was not the first or second time that a D-Rank mission suddenly rose to S-Rank.”
“…I’m sorry.” Zhang Yanyan sobbed. “We were wrong.”
“Of course not.” Zhang Gang sneered, “You’re elites, top scorers and favored sons of the heavens. How could you be wrong? If you were wrong, you would only be…”
“Zhang Gang!” Zhang Tie shouted as he said in a deep voice, “Hurry up. Everyone has their youth. You are the least qualified to say these words.”
Hearing this, Zhang Gang quivered all over as he gradually recovered his composure.
After a long while, he silently turned around and continued to move forward.
However, anyone could feel the suppressed anger and resentment in his body…
“Brother Yu.” Duan Ye moved closer to Chen Yu’s ear and whispered, “There’s something going on here.”
“Aren’t you talking nonsense?” Chen Yu waved his hand. “Don’t bother. That’s a family matter.”
The six-man team fell into silence from then on.
No one spoke.
They just buried their heads in their journey.
“We’re here. That’s the place.”
About an hour later, the sky turned dark. Zhang Yanyan pointed to the front. “That’s the place where my teammate landed.”
The surrounding light was dim, but they could still remember it so clearly. One could imagine how the scene at that time had left a deep impression on this female top scorer.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
Everyone stopped and walked quickly to Zhang Yanyan’s location, observing the left and right carefully.
As it hadn’t rained for the past three days, the traces on the ground were still very clear.
Other than the footprints of Zhang Gang and the others at that time, there was also a pool of dried blood.
“It’s my teammate’s,” Zhang Yanyan said anxiously. “Her footprints didn’t chase after us.”
“They went east.” Chen Yu bent down and pinched the dark red soil. He looked to the east. “The left side of the footprints is fine, but the right side is long. Is her right leg injured?”
“Yes.” Zhang Yanyan wiped the corner of her eyes. “It’s broken.”
“It looks like she was in a bad state at the time. She probably wanted to find a place to hide and heal.” Standing up, Chen Yu shook the soil in his hand. “Let’s follow her footprints.”
Everyone immediately turned around.
They began to follow the footsteps of the female student of Class 4.
“Brother Yu, what do you think of that student?” Duan Ye asked as he ran.
“It’s obvious.” Chen Yu’s gaze was focused on the footprints on the ground. “Let’s see if the robbers tied her up. If this girl escaped and there’s still no news of her for three days, she’s definitely doomed.”
“So now we have to pray that she’s captured?”
“Yes. Otherwise, our mission can be declared a failure.”
“Emmmm…” Duan Ye’s expression was complicated.
Although he had already warned himself in his heart that his next thoughts were wrong.
His mind was still filled with all kinds of small movies with ‘alternative’ themes.
“Sigh.” Duan Ye waved his hand. “I wish she is dead.”
Hearing that, Zhang Yanyan, who was at the end of the line, bit her lip, feeling conflicted…
“We’re here.”
The leader, Zhang Gang, suddenly stopped and reached out to stop everyone. “The footprints have disappeared.”
“They didn’t disappear.” Chen Yu leaned over and scanned the surroundings before looking towards the south. “They were taken away by someone else. They moved forward by jumping.”
“They’re heading towards the south.” Duan Ye stroked his non-existent stubble. “It seems that she was really taken away by the robbers. Sigh.”
“Sigh…”
Zhang Tie also let out a sigh.
However, unlike Duan Ye, he was lamenting that the difficulty of the task was going to increase.
‘It seems that I have to go to that thief’s nest in Wangdu City.’
“There’s nothing else to say.” Chen Yu pointed towards the south. “Let’s rush over there in the dark. Let’s see if we can find an opportunity to rescue her stealthily.”
“There are hidden sentries and exotic beasts nearby. It’s very difficult for us to sneak in.” Zhang Tie shook his head.
“Unless we act alone.” Zhang Gang sneered, “Otherwise, Zhang Tie and I will go there together.”
Pah.
Duan Ye clapped his hands, “Good Idea.”
“Shameless b*stard.” Zhang Gang’s eyes became more sarcastic. “Do you take it seriously? Do you do the task or do we do the task as security officers? Do you really treat us as slaves?”
After hearing Zhang Gang’s words, all the others’ faces changed.
“Can you shut up!” Zhang Tie became angry. “Can you do the task? If you don’t want to do it, go back to the Capital City.”
“I don’t dare to do that.” Zhang Gang turned around. “The lives of elites are worth a lot. If I leave, I will be executed by the school.”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s always been like this b*stard, a cynic.”
Zhang Tie then looked at Chen Yu and the other two. “However, we’re just here to ensure the safety of our team members at the critical moment. According to the rules and regulations, we should be far behind you. It’s already against the rules for us to participate in the mission with you.”
“Brother Tie, you don’t need to explain. We understand.” Duan Ye adjusted his collar. “It’s my fault. However, you know me well. I don’t mean anything else.”
“I understand.” Zhang Tie nodded. After a short pause, he continued, “Next, we will go straight to the abandoned city of Wangdu. I will bless each of you with a set of blessings.”
“Fine.” Duan Ye and the others nodded.
However, Chen Yu was shocked.
How f*cking powerful was the single ‘blessing’ of a Level 4 big shot?
At once, Chen Yu moved his feet and started to move back slowly.
“Chen Yu, you first.” Zhang Tie looked at Chen Yu as he put his palms together with a sound of ‘pah’, “Martial Arts…”
“F*ck.” Chen Yu became spirited as he casually grabbed the Bahuang Yao which had no sense of existence and used her tp block in front of him. “You… you add it to Xiao Yao first.”
Shua!
Under the light, Bahuang Yao was completely covered.
“Hmm?” Zhang Tie became confused. “Aren’t you going to add your blessing?”
“I’m not in a hurry. I’ll be the last one.” Chen Yu revealed a bashful smile.
“At the same time, my Qi is limited. The further I go, the worse the effect.”
“Right, therefore, I’ll be the last one.”
Hearing this, Zhang Tie revealed a smile. “Fine, behave like a class monitor.”
“Brother Yu, you’re particular.” Duan Ye gave a thumbs up. “Then I’ll be the next one.”
Even Zhang Gang, who was standing on the edge, unconsciously turned around and threw a glance at Chen Yu…
Shua.
Shua.
Shua…
As a series of powerful Qi burst out, Bahuang Yao, Duan Ye, Zhang Yanyan, and even Zhang Tie were blessed with a single blessing.
Closely after that, he looked at Zhang Gang and asked, “Hey, are you coming?”
“What do you think?”
“With that mouth of yours, no matter how you bless me, it’s still smelly.” Zhang Tie put his palms together, “I should give you a set of curses to improve your memory.”
“Then I advise you to give me a set of curses as soon as possible.”
“Martial Arts —— Sheng…”
Boom!
When Zhang Tie was about to give the ‘blessing’ to Zhang Gang, the ground suddenly shook violently.
“Not good.” Zhang Gang was shocked, “It’s an exotic beast attracted by light! It’s underground! Retreat!”
Chen Yu reacted the fastest.
Before Zhang Gang finished his words, he had already carried Duan Ye and jumped over 10 m away…
