This Curse Is Just Awesome - Chapter 262
Chapter 262: Battle Beast Tide (3)
The sudden Beast Tide dealt a heavy blow to all the ‘uninformed’.
Especially the students who had come from afar, as well as the accompanying professors, managers, and researchers, there were a total of more than 10,000 people.
Among these people, the dumb ones still wanted to escape through various means.
The smart ones could tell at a glance that they had fallen into a trap…
From the moment they stepped into the capital, their lives were deeply bound to this city…
“Brother Yu, there are so many dead people…”
At the end of the ‘Capital Battle Team’, Bahuang Yao nervously gripped the corner of Chen Yu’s clothes.
On the main road that used to be filled with people and vehicles, there were many armed soldiers standing.
Lying on the ground were corpses lying in a pool of blood.
The number of corpses was actually not less than the number of living people…
“A heavy punishment is used in troubled times.” Chen Yu patted the young girl’s head. “When the Beast Tide comes, those who take advantage of the chaos to make small moves will not have a good ending.”
“What if… What if some people go out to look for children?”
“…Go out to look for children in the middle of the night?”
“What if…”
“There’s nothing we can do about that.” Chen Yu shrugged. “It’s war time now, and human lives are no longer valuable. Personal gains and losses are insignificant compared to the overall situation.”
“…” Bahuang Yao remained silent for a while. “So, we are also insignificant.”
“Right.” Chen Yu nodded and looked around. “Didn’t you notice? We are all students. There’s not a single security officer or professor.”
“Yes, I noticed.” The girl said, “I was thinking of looking for our class’s security officer.”
“Their combat strength is higher, and they are separated into groups. Together with the Dean, the Principal, or the Level 6 or 7 big shots, they are the main combat strength. As for us…”
Bahuang Yao: “Cannon fodder.”
“Cannon fodder is a bit too humble. It doesn’t sound good.” Chen Yu sighed. “It should be used as a lubricant. It assists those big shots to fire more smoothly.”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
As the team was filled with martial artists…
They traveled very quickly.
Not long after.
The group passed through the Bird’s Nest Stadium and arrived at the western edge of the capital city.
Here, there was a super large square.
The decorations were very simple, and the floor tiles were ordinary stones. They did not fit in with the exquisite buildings in the distance.
The only thing was that the space was big!
Obviously, this was a temporary platform built by the country. It was used to mobilize, organize, and manage the group of martial artists.
“Everyone stop.”
Gou Sheng, who was leading the way, stopped in his tracks.
The students behind him all stopped as well.
“In order to ensure the efficiency of killing the enemy, we adopt a formation of ‘high’ and ‘hundred’. That is, one Level 5 martial artist leading a hundred low-level martial artists. What is a low-level martial artist? It is below Level 4.”
“Good guy…” Chen Yu clicked his tongue.
In Qingcheng City, a Level 2 martial artist could become a high school principal. And in the ‘rich and powerful’ capital city, those below Level 4 were all low-level…
“I take back what I said just now.” Chen Yu whispered into Bahuang Yao’s ear, “We are not even considered motor oil.”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
“Now, let’s split up into teams. Those whose names are called, stand behind me in order.” Gou Sheng took out a name list from his pocket and said loudly, “* * * ! * * ! * * ! * * ! * * ! * * * …”
In the crowd, the students whose names were called walked out one by one.
Soon, the first hundred names were all called out.
However, out of these hundred names, only 94 people appeared.
Gou Sheng turned around and simply checked once. The corners of his mouth curled up in disdain, “Very good, there are six people who haven’t come. I hope they can find a good cemetery for themselves before the Beast Tide.”
As he spoke, he drew circles on the six names, tore off the list, and handed it to his assistant. “It’s best to bring back a few and sacrifice them to the flag.”
“Yes.”
The students looked at each other, but no one said anything.
The Beast Tide was not a normal mission.
The Beast Tide was a great disaster.
No matter how weak they were, the life and death of the entire city would still press on.
Choosing to flee at the last minute meant that they had betrayed humanity.
This is also the reason why Chen Yu could obviously swagger away, but still came to the battlefield.
At least…
Fight and make sure you can’t beat them before you run.
“Next, the second team.” Glancing at the crowd, Gou Sheng continued to say the names: “* * , * * * , * * …”
As the teams took shape, Chen Yu went through these names, and vaguely found a few rules.
Regardless of the grades, the students of the normal class would only be assigned to the normal class.
As for the elite class, they would be assigned to the elite class.
“There’s a mechanism here.”
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.
Obviously, the students of the normal class would definitely be sent to the most dangerous area on the city wall. They would definitely die.
The students of the elite class might even receive some protection.
To prevent the country from accidentally exhausting its ‘potential’ after defeating the Beast Tide…
Ten minutes later.
Under Gou sheng’s repeated ‘pronouncements,’ it was finally Chen Yu’s class’s turn.
“Team 11, Chen Yu, Duan Ye, Bahuang Yao, * * * , * * , * * * …”
“Brother Yu, it’s our turn.”
“Okay. Follow me.”
Pulling Bahuang Yao, Chen Yu went around Gou Sheng and randomly found an empty space.
The students behind him naturally followed behind him, standing in rows and rows.
‘Looks like Team 11 is the core of Beijing University’s students.’
Chen Yu looked around and thought to himself.
Their team was almost all the elites of the elite class.
Including Liu Wei, Chun Lei, Brother Jie, and the others.
“Sister Chun Lei.” When Bahuang Yao saw Liu Wei and Chun Lei, she couldn’t help but turn around and ask, “Where’s my brother?”
“He’s in his villa, isolated.” Chun Lei’s expression was complicated.
If it was said that after Bahuang Yi’s ‘scandal’ was exposed, the class that suffered the most was Chen Yu’s class. Then, Liu Wei and Chun Lei were definitely ranked second…
“Is… Is he alright?”
“He’s fine.”
“What punishment will he receive?” Bahuang Yao was worried.
“I don’t know.” Chun Lei took a few steps forward and lowered her voice. “But this Beast Tide came at a good time. It shifted the focus. Otherwise, Bahuang Yi would definitely be in deep trouble in the face of public anger.”
“…Mm.” Hearing this, Bahuang Yao was more at ease when she thought of what Chen Yu had said.
On the side, Chen Yu, who knew the inside story, watched coldly from the side.
Around them, the students who heard the conversation between the two of them were also silent…
After a while, the eleventh team was finished with their distribution.
Gou Sheng turned around to check the number of people and immediately found Duan Ye, who was missing.
In such a large school, there were only a few top seedlings. As the director of education, he could clearly remember the names and faces of each and every one of them.
“Chen Yu.” Gou Sheng’s face was gloomy as he walked in front of Chen Yu. “Where’s the fish?”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Speak.”
“Director Gou, you mean Duan Ye.”
“You know who I’m talking about.” Gou Sheng clenched his fists. “Where did he go?”
“Brother Yu…” Bahuang Yao bit her lips and nervously tugged at Chen Yu’s sleeve.
“He…” Chen Yu tried hard to find words. “…left the school.”
“He ran away before the battle, right?”
“No.” Chen Yu and Gou Sheng looked at each other. “He didn’t run away before the battle. It’s impossible for him to run away before the battle. When he left the school, the Beast Tide hadn’t arrived yet. He just left the school.”
Gou Sheng was noncommittal. “Is that so?”
“Yes.” Chen Yu pushed Bahuang Yao, who was beside him, forward. “You should also know that Duan Ye is from He City. You should also know what happened before the Beast Tide.”
“…But he isn’t here. No matter what the reason is, he will be remembered as a traitor.”
“He isn’t a traitor.” Chen Yu emphasized.
“Yes.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
“Yes!” Gou Sheng widened his eyes.
“So is Bahuang Yi.” Chen Yu also widened his eyes. “He isn’t here either. Hurry up and remember.”
Gou Sheng: “…”
After a long silence, he gave Chen Yu a deep look, tore off the name list, and handed it to his assistant. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Count him out.”
“You’re actually quite a nice person.” Chen Yu gave him a thumbs up. “You’re just a little bad.”
“…Don’t make things useless.”
Gou Sheng moved his chubby face closer to Chen Yu’s ear. “Speaking of which, I’m very curious about you.”
“Curiosity is the first step to falling in love with someone.”
“When I say curious, I mean about your body.”
“…Despicable.”
Gou Sheng sneered. “There’s no need to play games with me. You know what I’m talking about.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“If we can survive this Beast Tide, I want to talk to you.”
Chen Yu: “…”
After saying that, Gou Sheng turned around and continued to recite his name.
Chen Yu, on the other hand, stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
“Brother Yu, what is he talking about?” Bahuang Yao asked.
“Nothing.” Chen Yu shook his head. With his back to everyone, he took out his phone and searched through the browser.
[How can I kill a Level 7 martial artist? Waiting online for an answer urgently.]
[…]
[…]
[F*ck you.]
Chen Yu cursed, “There’s no Internet.”
…
After all the teams had been allocated.
The crowd began to climb up the city wall in an orderly manner.
Compared to the four steel giants in the ‘inner city’ of the capital city, the outer city wall was undoubtedly much shorter.
However, its width was still more than enough to accommodate dozens of people side by side.
“Team 1, go to Area B1. Team 2, go to Area B2, and so on…”
Under Gou Sheng’s command, the students of Beijing University split up into teams.
Along the way, Chen Yu looked around and found that apart from the local students of Tsinghua University, Hang Hang University, and Science and Technology, he also saw many foreign students.
Their faces were all twisted, and they almost cried on the spot..
“Eh?”
Suddenly, Chen Yu saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye and immediately stopped. “Isn’t this that little brother?”
Beside the wall, King Ren turned around when he heard the sound. He looked calmly at Chen Yu. “What’s the matter?”
“Ah, I’m fine. I’m just taking a stroll.”
As he spoke, Chen Yu took out a Harbin cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the other party. “Do you want a Huazi?”
“I don’t smoke.”
“Huazi!”
“Get lost.”
Ignoring the other party’s vile attitude, Chen Yu continued to light his cigarette. He waved his hand to signal for Bahuang Yao to leave first. Then, he leaned beside King Ren and exhaled softly. “Do you believe in fate?”
“What’s the matter?” King Ren was expressionless. “If there’s nothing, please get lost.”
“I just feel that we are fated. Hey, I didn’t walk far when I saw you. Is this fate?”
“I’m not fated with you.”
“Ah?” Chen Yu tilted his head in confusion. “I’m not talking to you.”
King Ren: “??”
“I’m talking to this sword.” Chen Yu reached out and pointed at the katana at King Ren’s waist. “I’m fated with it.”
“…You’re really crazy.”
“Shh, this is a national secret. You can’t just leak it.”
“What are you trying to do?” King Ren gripped his katana tightly.
“I told you.” Chen Yu pointed at the katana. “I’m fated to be with it.”
“So?”
“So since you’re so lucky to see it, give it to me.” Chen Yu smiled.
King Ren: “…Get lost.”
Looking around, Chen Yu moved closer to King Ren’s ear. “Little brother, you should know that you’re about to die.”
Hearing this, King Ren keenly sensed the deeper meaning in Chen Yu’s words. “You… What do you mean?”
“You’re standing at the center of the city wall. Naturally, it’s also the most dangerous place. When the Beast Tide comes, even eight of your lives won’t be enough to fill it.”
“Speak your mind.”
“Give me the knife. I’ll bring you to the side of the city wall.” Flicking the cigarette, Chen Yutu revealed everything.
King Ren: “…”
“You should know that I’m the most protected seedling of the country. Whoever dies, we geniuses won’t die. The position assigned to us by the higher-ups is also at the edge.”
His voice paused slightly, and Chen Yu lowered his voice, he said half-truthfully, “Also, the class I’m in is missing a person. Coincidentally, the school’s Director of Education didn’t draw that person as a traitor. So in name, my class is still three people. But now, there are only two…”
“You mean…”
King Ren’s brows twitched violently. “You want me to pretend?”
“Are you interested? I thought of this at the last minute after I saw you.” Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the group that was walking further and further away. He urged, “There’s no time. You only have one minute to consider.”
“…”
King Ren shut his mouth and fell into a dilemma.
“Brother, here, a Mr. Lu Xun once said: the saddest thing in the world is that a person dies and the money is not spent.”
King Ren: “…”
“If you die, won’t the sword be buried with you if you keep it in your hands?”
“…I’ll give it to you.”
Clenching his teeth, the veins on King Ren’s forehead gradually tightened. Trembling, he took off the katana and handed it to Chen Yu.
“A fierce and ambitious man.”
Chen Yu praised. He took the katana and hung it casually at his waist. “This katana should be very valuable.”
“In Japan, it’s a national treasure.”
“That’s right. Weapons with spatial power are not too common. Come with me. Remember, during this period of time, you will be called Duan Ye.”
“…Okay.”
Taking a step forward, under the gaze of the surrounding students, King Ren followed behind Chen Yu.
As he walked, he said, “This knife is for fighting, not for playing. When you hang the knife, the blade should be facing up.”
Lowering his head, Chen Yu looked at his waist. “I will face down. What’s wrong?”
“That’s wrong! When fighting, the blade should be facing up!”
“I’ll keep it facing down.”
King Ren: “…You don’t deserve to use it.”
“Don’t worry.” Chen Yu waved his hand. “I have my own sword, why would I use it?”
“Then why do you still want it?”
“Because…” Chen Yu turned around and sneered. “Although I don’t use it, I don’t want others to use it either…”
…
On the city wall.
The division of the area was very chaotic.
It wasn’t arranged like A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3.
Instead, it was A1, B1, C1, D1… all the way to Z1, then A2, B2, C2.
Therefore, when they arrived at area B11 of Chen Yu’s team, they were already very, very far away.
More than twenty minutes later.
They arrived at their destination.
This place was located on the far right side of the west city wall.
It was far away from the ‘hot spot’ area in the center.
Just as Chen Yu had guessed, the higher-ups were deliberately controlling the number of ‘geniuses’ who died young…
They walked to the side of the city wall.
Bahuang Yao could not hide her curiosity. She poked her head out of the battlements and saw the straight city wall extending all the way to the end of her line of sight.
“It’s really spectacular.” She could not help but sigh. Then, she thought of something. “Brother… Brother Yu, that’s not right. I remember that the capital… seems like only the inner city has a city wall?”
“Yes.” Chen Yu placed his hands on the wall and looked ahead. “There are too many people in the capital. Most of them live outside the city. They don’t have the funds and conditions to build the city walls. The project is too big.”
“Then… Then where did such a large piece of city wall come from?”
“It’s made with martial arts. It’s just like the wall over at the elimination round.”
As he said that, Chen Yu used force with his fingers and pulled down a brick, he showed it to Bahuang Yao. “Look, it’s powdery. It’s very crisp. It’s just ordinary stone. I heard that the inner city’s wall is made of special alloy. When the exotic beasts open their mouths to bite it, their teeth will fall off.”
“Then…” Bahuang Yao was lost in thought. “Then how long can this city wall last?”
“Maybe when the exotic beasts get close, it’ll collapse at the touch.”
“Then how can we fight?”
“We’ll fight with our lives.”
Chen Yu looked calm. He held his katana in his left hand and drew his BB sword in his right. He looked back at the densely packed city buildings behind him. “Actually, the real battlefield is in the west of the city.”
Bahuang Yao was stunned.
“Using the lives of the common people and high-rise buildings as cover for the warriors to attack…”
