Chapter 302 - Changling Alien Realm (1)
Entering the large bathhouse, the silence in the changing room spread.
Chen Yu straightened his back and looked around. He saw a pool and walked over casually.
In the bathhouse, many men felt ashamed and subconsciously covered their vitals.
Padah.
Padah...
With a crisp sound, Chen Yu lifted his leg and stepped into the pool. He slowly sank into the boiling liquid.
The people who were originally soaking in the pool crawled out as soon as they came back to their senses.
"Why are you leaving?" Chen Yu asked curiously.
"I'm not soaking anymore..." A man waved his hand repeatedly.
"I can't afford to soak anymore..." Another man left embarrassedly.
Soon, Chen Yu was the only one left in the huge hot pool.
Not long after, a freckled little boy leaned over from the cold pool next door and curiously observed Chen Yu.
He especially observed Chen Yu's lower body.
"Big Brother, why do you have three legs?"
Chen Yu: "...This isn't a leg."
"A tumor?"
Chen Yu: "..."
"Intestines?"
Chen Yu: "Child, since you're so good with words, you must have been beaten up quite a few times at school."
"Only once a month."
"That's still alright. Your school's ethos is quite good. If it were in our Mountain Province, your intestines would have been dug out."
"Oh!"
The little boy came to a realization and pointed at Chen Yu. "This is your intestines that have been dug out!"
Chen Yu: "..."
[Psychological damage: Spirit +6]
After a moment of silence, he suddenly felt that there was no point in taking a bath.
He gathered some water and swept the boy away using the wave.
Chen Yu slowly stood up and walked out of the pool. Under the 'strange' gazes of the crowd, he entered the sauna area.
Seeing him come over, the men in the sauna room hurriedly left as well.
Their anxious expressions were as if they were hiding from a strange beast...
Chen Yu: "..."
"Yeah."
"The sauna is also very boring."
Finally.
After walking around the bathhouse for a few rounds, he found his home -- the bathhouse.
In the room, there was only an old man who was blind. He was shaking his head as he listened to the reviews on his phone.
"Master? You're here for a scrub, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man quickly put down his phone and looked at the source of the voice. "A bath and a massage. Young man, is this a set ticket?"
"Yes."
"Okay, give me your hand card. I'll give it to you now." As he spoke, the old man stood up, closed his eyes, and received a basin of water. He sprinkled it on the bed.
Chen Yu looked the old man up and down. "Master, with your physique... can you do it?"
"Looking down on me?" The blind old man's voice suddenly rose. "You look down on me?"
"No... No. I just think that at your age..."
"Young man, let me tell you, you can't judge a book by its cover. The sea can not be measured by its volume! This kind of dirty and unsightly place is the time for me to show off my skills and make a name for myself! Look at my hands as fast as lightning, sweeping away the filth with the force of a storm. I will definitely return you a bright and clean life!"
Chen Yu: "...Rub it."
Pa!
The old man patted the mattress. "Get on the bed!"
Lying on the bed, Chen Yu sighed. "No wonder crosstalk and skit writers all came from rubbing backgrounds..."
Taking the card, the old man took another basin of water and sprinkled it on Chen Yu. He said, "Did you bring a bath towel?"
"Yes, I brought it."
Chen Yu reached out and took out a piece of sandpaper from his pocket and handed it to the old man.
"Huh?"
The old man felt the touch of the sandpaper and his expression changed drastically. "This is... a bath towel?!"
"Yes. The latest bath towel." Lying on the bed, Chen Yu pointed at his back. "Master, rub it hard. Harder. The kind that gives off sparks."
The old man: "...You're not rubbing it."
"Then what is it?"
"You want to die early."
"It's okay. Don't worry. Rub it until I die."
Holding the sandpaper, the old man hesitated. "Young man..."
"What?"
"Tell me the truth. Are you here to cheat insurance?"
"Cheat insurance?"
"Accidental death insurance."
"...If you rub me to death, I'll give you half."
The old man: "..."
Under Chen Yu's constant urging.
The scrub master still held the sandpaper and gently rubbed it on his back.
Swish.
"Is it okay?" the old man asked carefully.
Chen Yu: "Even cockroaches crawl harder than you. If you really don't have the strength, change to another one."
Swish!
"Use more strength."
Swish swish...
Seeing that Chen Yu was indeed not injured and that there were no sticky bloodstains under the sandpaper, the old man was finally relieved and started to rub it forcefully.
But as he rubbed it, he was also secretly shocked.
He had rubbed for more than 20 years, whether it was an ordinary person or a martial artist.
But even he had never heard of a Level 6 martial artist using sandpaper to rub...
'How hard is this skin...'
'Only exotic beast skin is only this hard, right?'
Swish.
Swish swish swish...
As he rubbed, the blind old man was suddenly stunned, and the action of rubbing stopped. He reached out to touch Chen Yu's body a few times, and cold sweat flowed down his back.
"Master, what's wrong?" Sensing that something was wrong, Chen Yu turned his head in puzzlement. "Are you done rubbing?"
"Sir... Sir, please wait for a while. I need to go to the toilet... the toilet."
"Oh, okay then. Go ahead."
The blind old man rolled and crawled into the washroom at the side. He picked up his cell phone and dialed the number at the front desk. "Hello?"
"Is it the security?"
"You... come over and take a look. I think I made a monster out of him."
"He's really a monster! I thought he was weird from the beginning. His skin is so tough! Then I realized that he... he has three legs!"
Chen Yu: "..."
...
The next day, it was sunny.
8 am.
Everyone who had rested for the whole night gathered on time.
After a brief conversation and breakfast, they got into the taxi of the driver and headed to the west railway station of Bingcheng City.
When they reached their destination, the driver took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yu. "Brother, this is the fare that you gave me yesterday."
"It's only right to pay the fare."
"I already said that it's free, I can't take this money." The driver stuffed the money back without any explanation and then opened the car door, he pointed at the station in front of him. "You can enter from Gate 2. After you check your tickets, you can wait to get on the bus. But I suggest that you really don't go to Changling City. Go straight back to the south."
"Thank you for your concern, Brother."
Chen Yu picked up his backpack with his left hand and held BB with his right hand. He led everyone to bid farewell to the driver. "We'll leave the phone number behind. We'll contact you when we come back."
"No problem." The driver nodded. "As long as you can come back alive."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye forever."
Chen Yu: "..."
They bid farewell to the driver.
Everyone entered Gate 2, swiped their ID cards, and received their tickets.
As soon as they entered the waiting room, Chen Yu and the others were stunned.
They saw that the originally spacious Gate 2 was now filled with people.
Even the innermost hall seemed to have a physical conflict.
"Ma Li." Chen Yu tiptoed and looked around for a moment before instructing, "Go inside and see what happened."
"Okay." Ma Li nodded and looked at Ma Yan. "Sister, go inside and see what happened."
"Okay."
Ma Yan raised her folding surfboard and squeezed into the crowd.
After a while, she squeezed out again.
"What happened?" Ma Li asked quickly.
Ma Yan: "I didn't see it."
Everyone: "..."
"...Why did I see you come back?!" Ma Li roared.
"Ma Li, you should go." Chen Yu held his forehead.
"She's really... unreliable."
After sighing, Ma Li helplessly squeezed into the crowd.
About ten minutes later, she returned with an ugly expression.
Chen Yu: "It doesn't seem like a good thing."
"Oh right." Ma Li raised her index finger. "Brother Yu, I have bad news."
"Release."
"We can't go to Changling City anymore."
"Why?"Chen Yu frowned.
"Last night, a train to Changling City was attacked by the Fair Association. The whole train was turned into wood."
"Wood Powder attack?" Chen Siwen's expression suddenly changed.
"Yes." Nodding, Ma Li looked at Chen Siwen. "According to the information I gathered, two warriors above Level 5 on the train were also killed. Therefore, for the safety of the railway, all trains to the north of Bingcheng City were stopped."
"This attack is targeted." Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and instantly had an analysis in his mind.
"Yes." Ma Li nodded. "It must be targeted at the government troops from Shanghai. Because according to the time, they should have taken the high-speed railway yesterday."
"There are only two warriors above Level 5." Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. "It seems that the Fair Association has missed."
"Yeah. The government's support can't be that weak. But what should we do now?"
"What's your suggestion?"
"I..."
Before Ma Li could finish her sentence, Chen Siwen interrupted, "I suggest we go home."
Pushing Chen Siwen away, Chen Yu said to Ma Li, "Continue. What suggestion?"
"Brother Yu, are you sure you want to go to Changling City?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go rent a transport."
"Rent a car?"
"Renting a car is so lame." Ma Li took out her cell phone and made a call. She winked at Chen Yu. "Rent a plane."
...
Northeast.
In this vast black land, Ma Li did not have much business.
However, she had a lot of connections. She still contacted a regular aircraft rental company through her friends.
As the various departments of the local government were close to collapse, there was no longer a need to apply for a flight route. As long as they paid, they could fly whenever they wanted.
Everyone threw their bags and paid the money. Then, they smoothly sat in the cabin and waited for the signal.
"Not bad."
Sitting in the middle of the helicopter, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Sure enough, it was the right decision to bring you here."
Ma Li said smugly, "You can absolutely trust me, Ma Li."
"I want to go home..." Beside her, Chen Siwen lowered her head and muttered, "Why did we come here?"
"Why do you suddenly want to go back so badly?" Chen Yu was puzzled.
"I'm not feeling well." Chen Siwen covered her neck. "I don't know why, but I can sleep more and more, and I feel that I slept quite well. But my neck hurts, and it's a little like a pillow, but it's not a pillow."
"What happened?" Chen Yu frowned.
"I don't know. And I lost both my socks early this morning. My memory is really bad. Hmm..." Chen Siwen exhaled and sniffed. "The taste in my mouth is also strange."
"Looks like you're really tired." Ma Li patted Chen Siwen's shoulder. "Brother Yu, why don't you send her back?"
"No." Chen Yu rejected decisively. "It's too dangerous for her to go back alone."
"Yeah." BB nodded obediently. "It's too dangerous for Sister to go back alone."
"We can send her back by express delivery," Ma Li suggested.
"Then we might as well find a cemetery to bury her. Otherwise, we won't be able to find her body."
"Brother, your words are so nice. Sister is extremely happy..."
In the midst of their conversation, the pilot arrived.
He first greeted everyone in a friendly manner, then sat in the pilot seat and began to operate the helicopter.
Hum --
The helicopter's engine roared.
The main propeller slowly turned. A deafening noise began to ring out.
"Earphones! Put them on!" Ma Li was experienced. She picked up the black earphones behind the seat and put them on her head.
Everyone followed suit and put on their headsets.
"Bosses," the pilot's voice came from the headset, "the target is Changling City. There are some things to pay attention to before taking off. First, is there anyone who needs to go to the toilet?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, the pilot continued, "Second, you are not allowed to wear hats and scarves. Female comrades, pay attention to your skirts and take care of the children. During the flight, if anything is blown away, please do not suddenly get up to pick it up."
"Third, please fasten your seat belt. Also, take a look at the safety instructions on the side. If there are any problems, you can always..."
The explanation lasted for five minutes.
Following the operations of the ground crew, the pilot pushed the total distance.
Thud, thud, thud --
The helicopter slowly rose into the air under the continuous layer after layer of rising force.
When it reached the standard altitude and steadied its flight, Ma Li switched the channel of the headset to shared by everyone, filtering out the pilot.
"Hello? Can everyone hear me?"
Chen Yu made a '1' sign.
Ma Yan and Chen Siwen also nodded.
"Flying tools, although fast, are relatively dangerous. It's very easy to encounter flying exotic beasts." Ma Li's expression was serious. "So, once an emergency happens, we have to jump out of the plane immediately. "To prevent damage from the propellers, when we jump out of the plane, we must use all our strength to eject. The further we jump, the better."
"But the strength is mutual." Chen Yu pointed at his feet. "Eject, don't step on the ground."
"Yes. It's best to step on the other side of the wall. Then, everyone, put on your seat belts."
Everyone began to put on their parachutes.
BB turned to look at Chen Yu. "Sir, do we have to wear them too? Doesn't your butt know how to..."
Pa!
Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Yu, who was panicking, covered her mouth.
"Eh..."
Ma Li, Ma Yan, and Chen Siwen all stared at Chen Yu suspiciously.
Chen Yu: "..."
"What's wrong with your butt?" Chen Siwen asked.
"Hemorrhoids... are acting up."
"Why did you tell BB about this?" Chen Siwen pressed.
"Ah... She's curious."
"Brother Yu, I've wanted to ask you for a long time." Ma Li looked BB up and down. "This little girl, she's not a normal person, right? And she's going to Changling City. It's such a dangerous operation. Why did you bring her along?"
Chen Yu: "..."
Chen Siwen: Stare.
Ma Li: Stare.
Chen Yu: "...Have you heard? Simba is going to make a comeback again."
"...Don't change the topic so stiffly!"
...
"Warning, warning. There's a helicopter heading towards Changling."
In the northern suburbs of Bingcheng City.
In a house hidden under the snow, a man was using a special communication device to communicate with the organization.
It was unknown when it started.
There was no longer any signal in the wild.
Therefore, if they wanted to communicate, they could only rely on the periphery of the city.
"Received. Report the helicopter model."
Hearing that, the man immediately reported the helicopter model.
"How many people are on board?"
"The news came from the city. There are four people in total."
"Including the driver?"
"Ah?" The man was puzzled. "Then the driver... can he be considered a person?"
"...Alright, got it. We will launch the missile in five minutes and shoot down the enemy. You will send warriors to surround them."
"Yes."
The communication was cut off.
After pausing for a few seconds, the man once again connected to another channel. "Beautiful girls and warriors, move out!"
"...Yes."
Buzz buzz --
Outside the house, in a hidden garage.
An SUV full of beautiful maidens was chasing after the helicopter....
