This Curse Is Just Awesome - Chapter 282
Chapter 282: Entering the Alien Realm
Creak…
The heavy bronze door slowly opened.
An old man with a long beard walked out.
— The president of Beijing University.
He walked steadily to the center of the square and looked around at the hundreds of martial artists in front of him.
The martial artists also stared at him closely.
The quiet scene paused for three minutes before the old man spoke.
“The capital has been destroyed.”
Everyone was silent.
The principal of Beijing University paused for a moment and continued to speak loudly.
“No matter how you explain it, we are all losers.”
“Because of our failure, tens of millions of people in the capital have lost their lives.”
“Because of our failure, the country has fallen into chaos and our fighting spirit has collapsed.”
“Without a doubt, we have a heavy responsibility.”
“Without a doubt, we have no way out.”
“The capital city has failed, but this does not mean that the strategy of fighting the Beast Tide is wrong!”
“We are human beings. We are the true rulers of this Earth.” The old man looked around, and his voice was sonorous and powerful. “We cannot accept being slaughtered, trampled, and devoured like pigs!”
“So no matter what, we still have to resist! We still have to attack!”
“If a capital city falls, thousands and thousands of capital cities will stand up again!” The old man strode forward. He roared, “As the government, we still have the ability, fighting spirit, and heritage. We have to reorganize the entire divine great land, gather the remaining warriors, and build a fortress bigger than the capital city in Shanghai!”
“I would rather die in a battle.”
“I don’t want to live in vain!”
The old man opened his arms and roared, “Now, as the current leader of the country, I, Wang Biguo, announce!”
“The Shanghai Fortress Project is officially launched!”
…
At the same time, in the Distant Mountain Province and Qingcheng City.
Chen Yu and Chen Siwen stood in front of the space-time portal, making final preparations and organizing.
“Did you bring all your weapons?”
“Yes.” Chen stockings nodded.
“Where is the medicine? There are also emergency bandages and so on.”
“Pa! Pa!”
Chen Siwen patted her bag. “It’s all in there.”
“Ammunition?”
“Yes.”
“Compressed biscuits?”
“Yes.”
“Drinking water?”
“Yes.”
“Sanitary napkins?”
“Yes.”
“Birth control…”
“I’ve brought my urn.” Veins popped out on Chen Siwen’s forehead. “Do you want to try it?”
“Don’t be so grumpy. I’m doing this for your own good.” Chen Yu took off his katana and handed it over. “Katana, do you know how to… Oh right, Sister, do you have any toilet paper?”
Swish!
Chen Siwen immediately slapped him, but Chen Yu nimbly dodged it.
“Alright, I won’t ask. I’ll just ask if you know how to use a katana.”
“Is your sword very cool?”
“It’s a national treasure of Japan.”
Hearing this, Chen Siwen’s eyes lit up. She immediately took the sword, slowly pulled it out, and ‘pushed’ her fingers onto the blade.
Puchi —
Blood splattered.
“Wow!” Chen Siwen was pleasantly surprised. “It’s so sharp!”
Chen Yu: “…”
Clang!
Chen Siwen stuck the blade back into the sheath and gave a thumbs up. She praised, “Good knife! Brother, where did you get it?”
“Don’t worry about it. If you like it, just use it.” Chen Yu waved his hand. “Be careful with this knife. It has the ability to cut through space and is almost indestructible. Don’t hurt yourself.”
“Okay.” Chen Siwen nodded.
“Especially don’t hurt me.” Chen Yu added.
“Okay, okay.”
“Then… is there anything else?” Chen Yu opened his backpack and checked. “Is your body really okay without wearing a protective suit? The radiation inside is quite strong.”
“It’s okay.” Chen Siwen said casually. “I went in to play a while ago. The radiation doesn’t affect me much.”
“Okay, let’s go then.”
“…Eh?! Wait a minute!”
Suddenly, Chen Siwen released a Level 2 force. She looked around and her expression changed. “Something’s wrong!”
“What?”
Chen Yu was also shocked. He quickly pulled out his sword and entered battle stance. “What’s wrong?”
“There’s… Blood here!”
Chen Siwen narrowed her eyes and squatted down. She reached out to pick up the blood on the ground and sniffed it. “It’s fresh. It’s human blood. Type A, blood sugar is a little low.”
“It’s fresh…” Chen Yu raised his head to look at the ceiling, but he did not find anything strange. “Before we came here, did someone die here?”
“It’s possible. Be careful. I’ll see where the blood came from. Xiao Yu, you cover me.”
“Okay.”
Chen Siwen slowly pulled out her katana with her left hand. She held the blood with her right hand and carefully checked the ground.
But as she looked, she saw her own body.
Then, she saw her left index finger…
“Oh…”
Chen Siwen stabbed the blade back and retracted her strength. “It’s my blood.”
Chen Yu: “…”
Feeling Chen Yu’s ‘burning’ gaze, Chen Siwen was silent for a moment. She raised her hand and said, “As a martial artist, the most perfect way to survive is to keep your eyes and ears open and not miss any abnormalities.”
Chen Yu: “…Sister.”
Chen Siwen: “What?”
Chen Yu: “You should go home. Don’t follow me anymore.”
Chen Siwen: “Oh my stupid brother, I’m worried about you.”
Chen Yu: “I’m worried about you too…”
“Cut the crap.”
Chen Siwen licked her injured finger and pushed Chen Yu into the spacetime portal with one palm.
Then, she jumped in as well.
Space intersected and the center of gravity flipped…
After a moment of absent-mindedness, Chen Yu and Chen Siwen stood on the hard metal ground.
As far as the eye could see, the desolate alien land was even more spacious under the illumination of the glowing wall.
[Slightly irradiated: Constitution +1]
The electronic synthesized sound reverberated in Chen Yu’s ears, causing him to raise his eyebrows slightly.
He had entered this place before, but the notification in his mind was still ‘lethal radiation’.
Now that his constitution had been strengthened, the ‘damage’ from the surrounding radiation was so low that it could be ignored…
Crack.
Turning his head, bending his back, and moving his joints, Chen Yu looked at Chen Siwen. “Sister, how is it? Can you withstand the radiation?”
“No problem, I can withstand it.” Chen Siwen yawned. “It’s just that when we reach the depths of the alien land, I need to use explosive force to resist it.”
“Okay…”
Chen Yu pondered for a moment. In the corner of the empty metal hall, he found an old radiation suit and handed it to the other party. “Put it on. It’s quite useful.”
After receiving the protective suit, Chen Siwen did not refuse. She simply put it on and took the lead, walking toward the metal door in the distance.
Chen Yu asked, “Do you know where I’m going?”
“Ah? Aren’t you just here for a stroll?”
Chen Yu said, “…Follow me.”
He hooked his finger and changed his direction, walking towards the right side of the tunnel.
Chen Siwen frowned and naturally followed him.
The two of them, a man and a woman, one in front and one behind. They weaved through the metal tunnels.
At first, Chen Siwen thought that Chen Yu was just ‘walking blindly’.
However, as the other party walked faster and faster, she understood that Chen Yu knew this alien realm like the back of his hand…
“Xiao Yu.” A moment later, Chen Siwen opened her mouth.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Yu said without turning his head.
“This alien realm… are you familiar with it?”
“It’s alright.”
“You came here before the College Entrance Examination?”
“Yes.”
Chen Siwen’s mind was racing, and her eyes were squinting and opening. “What… Is there here?”
Hearing that, Chen Yu was silent for a moment, and his footsteps slowed down slightly. “Do you still remember that you once had a problem?”
“Me? What problem?”
Chen Yu turned around and pointed at Chen Siwen’s lower abdomen.
Chen Siwen was suspicious. “Why is there always mud in my belly button?”
Chen Yu: “…ShIt is coming out.”
“You’re courting death…”
“That’s not the problem! Hey! Be serious.”
“Then who asked… Oh! Oh oh!” Chen Siwen suddenly understood. “Oh, right. It’s the kind of medicine that can restore my dantian and strengthen my physique. Where did you get it from… What the f*ck? Don’t tell me it’s here?”
“Yes.” Chen Yu turned around and nodded. “It’s here.”
“…How is that possible?”
“Forget it if you don’t believe me.”
“The government searched this alien land thoroughly before. Other than some metal balls, there was nothing else. Where did you find that kind of medicine? Moreover, the government controls it very strictly. Even if you found it, how are you going to bring it out?”
“I’m sorry.” Chen Yu shook his head. “I can’t tell you.”
Chen Siwen said, “Because you haven’t made up a reason yet. When you’re done, you’ll definitely give me a satisfactory answer.”
Chen Yu: “…I’m very embarrassed by you like this.”
Following behind Chen Yu, Chen Siwen looked at how familiar the other party was. She was silent for another half a minute before asking tentatively, “Xiao Yu, this alien realm… is quite a secret, isn’t it?”
Chen Yu did not answer. He only increased the speed of his journey.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The deeper the two of them went, the further they got.
Finally, when they were close to a certain source of radiation, Chen Siwen could not resist the increasing radiation and chose to explode.
Bang!
The strong wind blew Chen Yu’s clothes. It made him turn around and ask, “Are you okay?”
“I can’t hold on much longer.” Chen Siwen’s face was a little pale. “Don’t you feel uncomfortable with such a strong radiation?”
“No,” Chen Yu said truthfully. “If you didn’t explode, I would have forgotten that there’s radiation here.”
Chen Siwen: “…Just how terrifying is your physique?”
Stopping in his tracks, Chen Yu scratched his ears. “Can you still do it? Why don’t you go back?”
“No,” Chen Siwen rejected decisively. “Continue walking. I’ll use my strength to protect myself.”
“There will come a time when your strength will be exhausted.”
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. Let’s go.” Chen Siwen pushed Chen Yu’s palm anxiously.
“Alright.”
Chen Yu, who was well aware of the other party’s character, did not say anything more. He simply took a long stride and began to run.
He wanted to prevent his sister from dying from prolonged travel…
Dong.
Dong, dong, dong…
As the two of them continued to speed up, the sound of the sole of their shoes colliding with the ground became more and more ear-splitting.
After passing through the last corner, Chen Yu brought Chen Siwen to the front of a broken door.
“We’re… Here?” Chen Siwen was panting.
“Yes.”
Nodding his head, Chen Yu stretched out his hands and patted the metal door. Suddenly, he exerted force!
Creak, creak, creak —
Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal friction, the door, which was filled with cracks, was slowly pushed open.
Immediately, a wave of dust flew into her face.
“So much dust?” Chen Siwen’s mind jolted.
Within the Qingcheng Alien Realm, there were many metal corridors and metal halls. Every wall, floor, and ceiling… Not to say that they were spotless, but they were so clean that they could roll on the floor.
And at this moment, she found such a thick layer of dust behind this door…
“It’s not just dust.” Chen Yu patted the dust off his body and pointed behind the door. “Listen carefully.”
Chen Siwen pricked up her ears.
After a moment, she was shocked.
“It’s… It’s wind?!”
“That’s right!” Chen Yu snapped his fingers.
Narrowing her eyes, Chen Siwen subconsciously tightened her grip on the katana by her waist.
In a completely sealed alien realm, there was dirt and wind. This was enough to explain the problem.
“Xiao Yu, could it be that this foreign land… Has an outer layer?”
“You’ll know soon enough.”
Shaking his head, Chen Yu gestured for the other party to follow him. Then, he turned into the main door and continued forward.
Following behind Chen Yu, Chen Siwen carefully observed the surroundings. She discovered that the further back she went, the dirtier the surrounding walls, floor, and ceiling became.
The stains and heavy dust stuck to the surface covered the layer by layer, concealing the light emitted by the metal.
However, it was not dark as far as the eye could see.
That was because there was a ‘bright spot’ in front of them that was emitting a dazzling light.
“That’s the entrance of the cave?!”
Chen Siwen was shocked.
“That’s right.”
“…Unbelievable.” Chen Siwen’s mind went into a momentary daze. “How… How did you find this place?”
“The heavens gave me a guide.”
“This… This is too unbelievable! Why didn’t the government find it?”
“Because Qingcheng City is too small.”
Chen Yu took out a cigarette from his left hand and a dagger from his right hand. He rubbed the edge of the dagger against the wall, causing it to heat up. He lit the cigarette. “There are so many alien realms around the world, and the benefits are so high. A mere Qingcheng Alien Realm wouldn’t get a high-level martial artist above Level 5 without clear benefits.”
“Those around Level 5, in terms of physique, are not as strong as us. After walking around in the radiation for a few rounds, they gave up.”
“As for those below Level 5… Unless they can constantly activate their Qi, they will be unlucky if they are exposed to the radiation.”
“Hu…”
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Chen Yu shrugged. “The alien realm is so big, and the passage is so complicated. We are still close to a few radiation sources, and the Qingcheng City Government has already organized a few squads of chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs. How could they find us here?”
“…A Level 4 martial artist is considered a chicken, duck, goose, and dog in your eyes, right?” Chen Siwen was expressionless.
Chen Yu didn’t pay attention to the other party’s ridicule. Instead, he pointed to the entrance of the cave. “Moreover, even if the government searched this place, it would be useless. The path ahead is forbidden.”
“What do you mean?”
Bringing Chen Siwen along, they walked forward another hundred meters.
The two of them saw a sizzling high-voltage electrical grid…
“Gulp.”
Chen Siwen gulped. “What is this?”
“An electrical grid. An electrical grid that seeps out from the walls on both sides.”
“Can it electrocute people to death?”
“…Are you farting through this?”
After a long silence, Chen Siwen carefully stepped forward and stretched out her finger, which had yet to heal from the knife wound, to touch the electrical grid.
Pa!
Her whole body went numb, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Chen Yu: “It’s really bad luck for your finger to follow you.”
“What a strong voltage!” Chen Siwen said seriously, “How many meters is this electric net?”
“Dozens of meters.”
“Then it’s over. I can’t pass through it. A voltage of this intensity can electrocute me to death in two seconds at most.”
“Not to mention you. Even if a Level 6 or 7 martial artist comes, they can’t pass through it. Because the current is not radiation, the force can’t be blocked at all. Once you get hit by it, you will spasm and be stuck in the electric net until you die.”
“Then why did you come here?”
“To pass through!”
“…Didn’t I say that we can’t pass through?”
“Just because other people don’t pass through doesn’t mean that I can’t pass through.” Chen Yu raised his head and puffed out his chest. “Do you know what my true talent is?”
Chen Siwen shook her head in a daze.
Bang!
Activating the force, Chen Yu jumped into the electric net with a big jump!
The high voltage electric current crazily ‘hit’ the youth’s body, but it couldn’t cause the slightest harm to him.
“Impossible!” Chen Siwen’s pupils constricted.
“This is my talent.”
Opening his arms, Chen Yu looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle. “Wu Yifan’s thunder tyrant body!”
Chen Siwen: “…”
[Received damage: Temporary Spasm -32%; Temporary Speed +42%; Electrical resistance -13]
[Received damage: Temporary Spasm -35%; Temporary Speed…]
“What are you waiting for, baby?”
Lowering his head and looking at Chen Siwen, Chen Yu clapped his hands. “Jump over here and I’ll take you through in half a second.”
“…Xiao Yu.”
“Huh?”
“Are you a human or a ghost…”
“I’m your father.”
Hearing this, Chen Siwen was furious. She charged forward with all her strength and aimed at Chen Yu’s chest with a flying kick!
Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!
The electric current ran through her entire body.
Chen Siwen rolled her eyes and kicked with her legs. The movement of the flying kick immediately changed shape.
Plop.
Reaching out, Chen Yu caught his sister’s stiff body. Without any hesitation, he turned into a sharp arrow! Sparks and lightning flashed along the way and instantly pierced through the electric net!
Swoosh!
Suddenly, his nose felt refreshed.
His vision suddenly became clear.
After a few months, Chen Yu once again stood on the ground outside the spaceship.
As for Chen Siwen… She was incontinent.
She peed all over Chen Yu’s body.
“Urgh…”
With a wave of his hand, the youth threw his sister away as if he was throwing away trash.
“I told you to bring sanitary pads.”
