Chapter 337 - Breaking Through To Level 3! (1)
The desolate yellow sand danced in the air.
On a road that was so broken that it could not be called a 'road', a motorcade was traveling at high speed.
"We haven't even reached the Tibetan area yet, and the environment is already so harsh."
In the leading red SUV, Ma Li looked out the window with a complicated expression. "Everyone says that the world will be better without humans. However, this area is empty, and the desertification is getting more and more serious."
"Because the biggest impact on the environment is always the environment itself." Chen Yu sat in the middle of the back row, holding BB. Slowly, he said, "Humans shouldn't take themselves too seriously, thinking that their every move can change the ecosystem. In fact, there isn't much that humans can do."
"Isn't the main cause of the desertification because people cut down trees?" On the right side of the back row, Bahuang Yao asked curiously while eating papaya.
"This is only one of the reasons. For example, global warming. More likely, it is because the Ice Age on Earth has ended."
"That's right." The bearded man in the front passenger seat added, "There was once a rumor that the number of nuclear weapons would destroy mankind. However, in reality, even if all nuclear weapons were detonated, the ecosystem would not be destroyed."
BB: "...I think you guys are anti-intelligent..."
Everyone: "What do you know? You're just a little kid."
BB: "..."
"But then again..." The bearded man frowned and looked ahead. "Why haven't we seen many exotic beasts along the way?"
"Yeah." The driver nodded. "It's too strange. When we arrived at Qingcheng from Shanghai, there were still countless exotic beasts in the wild."
"When did you arrive at Qingcheng from Shanghai?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.
"The day before yesterday."
"I left Qingcheng yesterday." Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "In other words, in less than two days, all the exotic beasts in the wild disappeared."
"En..." The bearded man thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes. A little more than a day."
"Did... Did they suddenly disappear?" Bahuang Yao was puzzled.
"No." Ma Li, who was on the left side of the back row, took off her green hat and fanned herself. "Look at the traces by the roadside. Although they were covered by the sandstorm seriously, the bumps aren't normal. These exotic beasts are clearly moving toward the southeast."
"The southeast direction..." Chen Yu muttered to himself.
Pa!
Ma Li put on her hat and snapped her fingers. "Can you be any dumber? What's in the southeast?"
"...Shanghai?!"
"Bingo." Ma Li spread her hands. "Isn't it obvious?"
"Shanghai..."
Bahuang Yao and the driver couldn't help but shiver.
"Could... Could it be that the Beast Tide is coming again..." The girl's face turned pale.
She had experienced the beast tide in the capital.
She had a deep understanding of what the 'Beast Tide' meant...
"This isn't just a Beast Tide." The bearded man turned around and looked at Chen Yu and the others. "The number of exotic beasts in the wild is far more than a single Beast Tide. If these exotic beasts all aim at Shanghai..."
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
Even the driver subconsciously sped up a bit.
"Actually... it's not necessarily so, right?"
After a long while, the bearded man hesitated. "Just from a few footprints, you can conclude that the exotic beasts are running towards Shanghai?"
Ma Li calmly said, "As early as yesterday, when the roadside blocked your convoy, I observed the traces on the road. At that time, the direction of the exotic beasts' footprints was 13 degrees to the south. Now, the direction of the footprints in this area is 32 degrees to the south."
The bearded man's voice was muffled. "What do you mean?"
"Qingcheng is 13 degrees south, aimed at Shanghai. Our current position is 32 degrees south, also aimed at Shanghai." Ma Li shrugged. "Whether it's Qingcheng or on the road, aren't the exotic beasts all heading towards Shanghai?"
Hearing this, the faces of everyone in the carriage turned extremely ugly.
Only Chen Yu lowered his head and thought silently.
Could humans resist the Beast Tide?
The answer was no.
No matter in the past or now, it was very difficult for humans to resist the Beast Tide.
When Shanghai encountered the Beast Tide again, if they wanted to survive, they needed Chen Yu's help.
And the prerequisite for 'help' was to obtain the [World's Hatred] curse.
Using the world's power to 'resist' the Beast Tide.
'Curse...'
Chen Yu remained silent as he began to make plans in his mind.
Based on his previous experience, the world would repay him after 'getting rid of' three alien realms.
Currently, his alien realm's 'destruction count' had dropped to zero. If he wanted to obtain the blessing of the world's power, he could only start from scratch.
'Destroying the alien realm is no problem.'
'But...'
Chen Yu was vexed.
The last time he had lured two Level 9 beasts into an internal conflict, it had definitely attracted the attention of the country.
This time, with another wave, it would be very easy for him to accidentally expose his identity.
After his identity was exposed, what awaited him would be a series of troubles!
It was always best for him to be the only one who knew secrets like this.
Now that the end of the world had come, and the conflict between humans had been triggered, the Fair Association would jump up and down. Even if he could receive official protection after his identity was exposed, the targeted assassinations would never end.
The curse was a double-edged sword.
In a situation where others did not know about it, no matter how cautious the strong enemy was or how strong he was, he would be able to 'turn the tables' in all sorts of ways. Time and time again, he had already proven this point.
However, once other people knew about it, they would suddenly throw a 'big blessing' and he would be...
He, Chen Yu, had never been very strong.
All the success was only due to the 'information gap'.
Without the 'information' advantage, a mere Level 2 martial artist like him was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
In the apocalypse.
No one was easy to deal with...
Therefore...
His identity must not be exposed!
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu rubbed his glabella and continued to think about the next step of his plan.
Shanghai must be saved.
It was best to save it by hiding his identity...
The Beast Tide this time would not happen on the surface of the sea like last time. Once the battle started, the sea fog was so thick that even satellites could not see clearly. Moreover, he could hide in the sea after it was over.
On land, as long as he appeared, he would definitely be the center of attention...
'Most importantly, my clothes must not be damaged!'
Chen Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
'This isn't H Little Butter where it's still okay if their clothes are ripped off in every fight...'
In his situation, whether it was his 'ripped off' shirt or his 'ripped off' pants, his identity would be exposed.
Especially his shirt.
After being 'exposed,' the country did not even need to screen him and could directly lock onto him..
"After all, looking at the world..." Chen Yu could not help but raise his head proudly. "Even the donkeys would not dare to be as big as me..."
"What?" Beside him, Ma Li was puzzled. "What did you say just now?"
In the corner, Bahuang Yao, who was chewing on a papaya, heard the keyword 'big' and immediately tensed up. She looked down and felt numb...
"No, you heard it wrong." Chen Yu mumbled and changed the topic. "Ma Li, let me ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Are there any alien realms in the Tibetan area?"
"There are alien realms in the Tibetan area..." Ma Li scratched her head. "There are alien realms everywhere, but I don't know much about the Tibetan area. There seems to be a most famous one... Hmm... It's..."
The bearded man stretched out a finger. "The Lost Realm.."
"Yes!" Ma Li slapped her forehead. "The Lost Realm!"
"Lost..." Chen Yu scratched his ear. "Why is this name different from the 'style' of other alien realms?"
"Yes," the bearded man said. "Most of the alien realms are named according to their location. For example, the Qingcheng Alien Realm in Qingcheng City, the Changling Alien Realm in Changling, the Lola Mountain Alien Realm, Shennongjia No. 2 Alien Realm, and so on. The Lost Realm is different."
"How is it different?"
"The person who named it has a different way of thinking."
Chen Yu: "..."
The bearded man turned around and said seriously, "I heard that the person in charge of the Tibetan area had a bad relationship at that time, so he was quite depressed. Then, the Lost Realm appeared, so he gave it a name."
Chen Yu: "How the f*ck does that work?"
Ma Li said, "It's indeed quite depressing."
"Then, what's the inside of this alien realm?" Chen you asked again.
"Maybe it's the effect of the name. In that alien realm, it can make people depressed." The bearded man took the cigarette from Chen Yu's hand and took a puff. While recalling, he said, "The longer you stay in there, the more depressed you will be. Many martial artists don't control their time well, and in the end, they don't even want to eat, starving to death."
"That person in charge came up with the name because of this characteristic, right?"
"No! He came up with the name first, and then opened the alien realm."
"...Words follow the law." Chen Yu's scalp went numb. "This is a super big shot."
"There's something." Ma Li smacked her lips. "Where is the person in charge who came up with the name now?"
"He's dead." The bearded man said faintly, "His last words before he died were that living was really boring."
Everyone in the car: "..."
"An alien realm that can make people depressed..."
Chen Yu leaned back in his seat and crossed his legs. He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
An alien realm that could make people depressed.
If he were to enter it, under the reversal of the [Curse], it would turn into an excited state of mind.
"This is a little troublesome."
Due to his personality, what he was most afraid of was the change in his emotions and thoughts.
This was also the reason why he didn't really like the 'Enlightenment' skill.
'So...'
'I should try my best not to go to this alien realm...'
Having made up his mind, Chen Yu took out a new cigarette and asked, "Other than this alien realm, is there anything else?"
"Yes, there definitely is." The bearded man raised his eyebrows. "Which place doesn't have an alien realm? It's just that in the Tibetan area, those who are famous will lose their reputation. Oh right, why are you going to the Tibetan area? Don't tell me it's just to go to the alien realm?"
Chen Yu: "What If I am?"
"I will beat you to death with my fist." The bearded man was irascible. "Among all the alien lands in the country, the Tibetan area has the worst output. Even the pigs in the production team wouldn't come here. So, you joining my team is to make things difficult for me, Pang Hu!"
Chen Yu: "...I'm mainly looking for someone."
"Then I'll keep an eye on you and see who you're looking for." The bearded man's eyes were cold. "If you lie to me..."
Crack --
The left arm of the silicone doll in his arms was crushed!
Chen Yu: "...Your wife is broken."
The bearded man: "She can change accessories."
