Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Cultivation in the Wild

This bus driver was given the title “Most Amazing Bus Driver of Dragon City.”

His story also garnered a lot of responses from news outlets and social media platforms.

He fully deserved the Blood Medal.

Even though he sacrificed his life, his family and his descendants could enjoy the benefits of the Blood Medal, including getting larger and better public rental houses, an exemption of tuition fees and cultivation fees, getting extra marks in their national high school examination and national college examination, being prioritized when they joined the exams for civil service and hired if their competitors had the same qualifications as they did, among other benefits.

Dragon City meant it when it promised that they would not let its heroes suffer any losses.

Hence, there were plenty of other heroes like this bus driver in other industries as well.

One of them was a normal researcher in the zombie research center. He had just graduated from university three years ago and was prepared to get married on the transmigration anniversary. He was a puny two-star superhuman.

But to increase the speed of examining whether the citizens in the infected areas carried the highly latent new zombie virus, he activated his spirit energy to increase the reaction speed of the reagents.

In just a short two days, he checked a total of 1,352 citizens and managed to almost always instantly get the results, which led to him being able to effectively isolate and treat the carriers.

Based on the normal examination method, he would have needed at least seventy-two hours before the examination report would arrive, and by then, plenty of carriers would have turned into real zombies.

His tireless hard work had effectively stopped another zombie horde from showing up, and he saved a lot of carriers and their families.

But due to him activating his spirit energy at a high frequency for long periods of time and because his brain tissue had to be in a state of high heat at all times, in the end, his brain went up in flames and he died in his post.

If there were many heroes who were willing to die in ordinary posts, like a bus driver and an inspector, then there were definitely even more heroes in the Red Dragon Army.

One of them was an armored reconnaissance specialist who came from the Red Dragon Army’s rapid response squad. He had also obtained a Blood Medal.

When the alarm sounded, he and his comrades were performing sentry duty at the southern part of the city. Hence, they were the first soldiers to face the new zombies and the undead.

He and four of his comrades relied on only one light armored vehicle to lock down ten crossroads and hold back the new zombies and undead that came from all over the place.

When these monsters charged at them like a fierce tidal wave, the unarmed citizens obtained valuable time to flee, search for weapons, or launch counterattacks.

In the end, all four of the man’s comrades died under the claws of the undead.

By then, the armored reconnaissance specialist’s legs and left hand were reduced to a bloody mess.

With a strong will, he climbed into the armored vehicle and used his dagger to slice up his own body so that he could use the smell of his blood to attract a large group of zombies and the undead. They surrounded the armored vehicle until it had no hope to escape. Then, he ignited all the fuel and ammunition in the armored vehicle.

Amid the roaring flames, his heroic spirit sent more than one hundred zombies and the undead to hell.

The remaining six Blood Medal awardees were just like these three heroes. They had touching stories that could bring people to tears while evoking praise.

Meng Chao had thought quite highly of himself and felt that he had relied on just himself to turn the tides.

But when he heard the heroes’ stories, he felt ashamed, because he could not measure up to them.

‘Yeah, if the Most Amazing Bus Driver, Most Amazing Medical Specialist, and Most Amazing Soldier did not work together, even if I really won against the Demonic Abyss Eye, the battle might still have been lost.’

In truth, a few days before the commemoration ceremony, Meng Chao was in a foul mood.

Through the channels in the abnormal beast research department, he saw quite a number of case files related to the abnormal beast puppet that were currently under investigation.

Even though he had been prepared to see them, when he read the crimes conducted by these rotten eggs, he still became livid.

They were greedy and corrupt. They schemed against each other, killed each other, and used their strength to harass the weak. Their actions brought shame to the superhumans, and the damage they caused to Dragon City and their entire civilization made them the same as Apocalyptic Beasts in human skin.

The case files made him feel horrible.

He even thought that they must have been really lucky to have been able to obtain even a pyrrhic victory in the Monster War in his previous life while there were so many tumors among the superhuman squads.

But on the commemoration day, when he heard so many stories that came from the heroes in the grassroots units, Meng Chao finally understood how they managed to obtain victory in his previous life.

He also swore in his heart that he would definitely train madly and change the future so that these heroes and martyrs would not have bled in vain.

On the night after the commemoration ceremony, Meng Chao did not return home.

Instead, he went back to Agricultural University, and under Gu Jianbo as well as Li Yingzi’s guidance, he seized every second he had to begin a whole new stage of cultivation.

He cultivated hard in Agricultural University for a whole month, and when his new equipment was made, he went to the depths of the wild to train himself in the most brutal environment as a solo hunter, just like what Lin Chuan had done in the past.

During this period of time, he lived like a savage. He hunted in the fog and stayed there. Eating flesh raw became something normal for him, and so was eating something while it was alive. He used the monsters’ flesh and blood to stimulate his taste buds and stomach as well as remember how he survived in the wild in his previous life. It allowed his fighting experience to increase by leaps and bounds.

After he filled his stomach and quenched his thirst, he meditated.

The starry sky in the wild was much brighter than the sky above the city. When Meng Chao looked at the bluish-black sky and the shining cluster of stars, he quietly recalled what Professor Lu Tianxing had said. He used his spirit energy to light up his brain cells as if he was creating a mini galaxy in his mind so that his vitality magnetic field would rotate slowly along with the magnetic field of the planet and the magnetic field of the entire universe.

Before Meng Chao realized it, three months passed in the blink of an eye. It was now time for etherealized plants to grow madly in the wild. Bubbles popped up on the surface of the swamps, and a large number of pests crawled out of them. All sorts of monsters entered their mating and reproduction cycle, which made them restless. The entire summer passed like that, and now, it had been two whole years since Meng Chao returned to the past.

Meng Chao had not cut his hair for a long time. At that moment, it looked really wild. And under his tanned, bronze skin were powerful muscles that were as strong as bull tendons. Since he had been staying in the wild for too long, he would often subconsciously release killing intent similar to that of a monster. His vitality magnetic field became more stable compared to the time he first entered Heaven Realm as well. When his spirit energy gushed out of the 36,000 pores in his body, he gave off a presence as if he was as sturdy as a rock.

With the additional power from the future martial arts, Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab from the Ghost Tribe’s training camp, and the Fear Bomb he obtained from the Demonic Abyss Eye when it showed its memories while near death, Meng Chao was confident that even if he ran into a veteran five-star superhuman, he could fight against them head-on. Even if that superhuman was a six-star superhuman and at the peak of Heaven Realm like Soul-breaking Saber Luo Wu, he could run away since he could not win.

Humans had intelligence helping them, so their fighting power would usually be higher than that of monsters.

In other words, the current Meng Chao could do whatever he wanted in the fog as long as he did not run into an Apocalyptic Beast, a new Supernatural Entity, or a massive monster horde.

But even if he ran into a Supernatural Entity or a monster horde, it did not mean that he did not have the chance to dance around them.

‘It’s about time for me to return to Dragon City.’

Meng Chao sat in front of a Swamp Crocodile’s carcass. It was more than twenty meters long, and it was like the fossil of a dinosaur. While Meng Chao ate its flesh, he pondered. ‘Over the past few months, the abnormal beasts have been behaving themselves. It’s as if they’ve learned their lesson after losing Earthquake and the Demonic Abyss Eye.

‘But this fake peace won’t last for long.

‘Over the past few months, the Red Dragon Army, the armored squads from the enterprises, the explorers from the four research centers, and the hunting squads from the Supernatural Tower have all taken the initiative to attack. They’ve gained beautiful results around Dragon City and obtained quite a lot of important strategic places. They’ve also discovered traces of satellite cities that we lost.

‘If the abnormal beasts still do nothing, we’re going to kick their nest soon.

‘The past few months should have been enough for them to gather power strong enough for them to do whatever they want in Dragon City. If I go back now, I should be able to make it in time.’

With this thought in mind, Meng Chao casually tossed away the femur of the Swamp Crocodile that was now completely devoid of flesh, patted his butt free of dust, and was just about to pack his bag when the tactical watch on his wrist suddenly let out beeping sounds.

It was an alarm.

‘A human has been ambushed nearby, and a monster that seems like a Grade 6 Hell Beast appeared seven kilometers to the southeast?’

Fighting spirit burned in Meng Chao’s eyes.

He looked around him and discovered a Python Vine that was extremely flexible fifty meters to his left.

Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and bent down a little. The pores on his legs opened up, and spirit flames shot out like the flames behind a rocket. They pushed him forward, allowing him to dash at more than 30m/s speed toward the Python Vine.

Thud!

He slammed his legs together and stomped on the Python Vine.

This sort of etherealized plant had incredibly unique fibrous structures. Its diameter was more than half a meter, but it could bend at will like a normal vine.

Meng Chao stomped on it, and the Python Vine immediately bent down so much that it was parallel to the ground. The crown of the tree it was attached to also touched the ground.

Then, like a catapult that was pulled to the max, it slung back with a loud whoosh, and Meng Chao shot into the air.

Heaven Realm superhumans had the power to levitate. All they needed was just sufficient height and starting velocity.

Meng Chao rose into the air like some grotesque bird. When he was around fifty meters above ground, he poured spirit energy into his eyes and looked far and wide. Soon, he saw tumbling smoke and dust seven kilometers southeast of him.

‘What a huge monster horde!’

Meng Chao was delighted because of the large number of prey and shot toward them.
