Chapter 299 - Arrive at Bingcheng City (1)

No work in one night.

The next day.

The sun rose and shone down.

On the white snowy plain, a dazzling light was reflected.

Sitting in the tent, Chen Yu finished eating the canned food. After tidying up briefly, he pulled open the zipper and walked out.

Clap clap.

Clapping his hands hard, Chen Yu stretched and said loudly, “Wake up. It’s morning.”

Huala…

Soon, Ma Li and Ma Yan walked out together.

Judging from their energy, they must have been awake for a long time.

Then, BB came out from the middle tent and waved. “Good morning, Lord Humans.”

“Good morning.” Ma Li came over and stroked BB’s little face. “Why do you always call us Lord Humans?”

“Hello, Sister.” BB quickly changed her words.

“I always feel that… This child is different from a normal child.” Ma Li frowned and thought deeply.

“For example?” Ma Yan asked.

“For example, why is she wearing a sword hilt on her head?”

“Yes…” Ma Yan also noticed this problem and her expression was serious. “It’s very strange.”

“That’s not the hilt of the sword.”

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pulled out the sharp sword above BB’s head. “It’s a sword.”

“Oh oh!” Ma Yan suddenly understood and snapped her fingers. “That’s not strange.”

Ma Li: “…This is even more f*cking strange, okay?!”

“How can that be?” Ma Yan was puzzled. “It’s very normal for the sword to have a sword body under the hilt. It would be strange if there’s only one hilt.”

“What exactly are you paying attention to?”

“Don’t be noisy.” Chen Yu inserted his sword back and frowned. “It’s so early in the morning, can you be quiet?”

“Ah…” Ma Li was about to faint. “You inserted the sword back…”

“When does the convoy leave?” Ma Yan asked Chen Yu. “Do we still need to eat breakfast?”

Ma Li: “Ah… you actually inserted the sword back…”

“We’ll leave now.” Chen Yu took out a box of canned food from his bag and threw it over. “We’ll eat this for breakfast. After we’re done, put the tents away. BB.”

“I’m here.” BB took a step forward.

Ma Li: “Don’t you feel pain? Won’t you die if a sword is stuck in your head?”

“Is my sister awake?”

“No.” BB shook her head and looked at the tent in the middle. “Lord Human’s sister sleeps like a log.”

“I’ll take care of the tent. You go and wake her up. What time is it?”

“Okay.”

Ma Li: “Didn’t anyone hear me? Hello?”

Carrying his backpack, Chen Yu swiftly laid down the tent and folded it. Then, he tidied up Ma Li and Ma Yan’s tent.

Only the tent in the middle was still not moving.

“Sir.” BB popped her head out. “Sister is not awake.”

“Not awake?” Chen Yu frowned. “Is she wearing a coat?”

“Yes.”

“Let me take a look.”

As he spoke, Chen Yu stepped into the tent and saw Chen Siwen lying face down, motionless.

Chen Yu was silent. “…”

BB was obedient. “…”

Chen Yu: “Her posture… Why do I feel like she’s dead?”

BB shook her head. “No, she’s breathing.”

Bending over, Chen Yu gently pushed Chen Siwen’s shoulder. “Sis? Hey? Wake up?”

“…”

“Sis?”

“…”

“Sis?!!”

“…”

Chen Yu: “…You’re so ugly.”

Pa!

Chen Siwen suddenly stood up and gave Chen Yu a slap on the forehead. “You’re the ugly one.”

Chen Yu: “…”

“Ah. What time is it now?” Sitting up, Chen Siwen yawned and looked around. “It’s dawn?”

“What happened to you just now?”

“What?” Chen Siwen didn’t react for a moment.

“We called you just now, but you didn’t wake up.”

“You must have fallen asleep. Don’t tell me, it’s my first time sleeping in the wild, and I slept so well. I didn’t even have a dream.”

“Hehe.” At the side, BB, who had been praised, lowered her head in embarrassment. “It’s… It’s good that you like it.”

“Hmm?” Chen Siwen turned her head and looked at BB. “What did you say?”

“No… Nothing. Sister, you will sleep well every night from now on.”

“Haha.” Chen Siwen was happy and caressed BB’s head. “You really know how to talk.”

“Since you’re awake, let’s eat.” Chen Yu handed over the canned food. “Go out and eat. I’ll put the tent away.”

“Canned pork again?”

“I still have human meat here.”

“…Is it the same as Lin Junjie’s?”

“It’s the same as Guo Donglin’s.”

…

In the morning, at 7 o’clock sharp.

The Zhongtong Express Delivery convoy departed on time.

As all the exotic beasts along the way had been eliminated by the ‘forces’ in front, the convoy could speed up very quickly.

Sitting in the back seat of the lead SUV, Chen Yu looked out of the window. “That way, it’s the capital city, right?”

“Yes.”

In the front passenger seat, the bearded man stroked his dog’s head and looked to the right. “Turn into that fork and you’ll be in the direction of the capital. In the past, this place was heavily guarded.”

“Now the soldiers are gone.”

“Nonsense. The capital is gone.” He plucked a handful of fur from the dog’s head and threw it out of the window. The bearded man said with interest, “It was actually safe last night. After seeing it, it’s really your problem.”

“Bullsh*t, it was clearly your problem.” Chen Yu retorted, “As long as I stay away from you, everything will be safe.”

“Don’t say it’s useless. Tonight, you’re going to sleep somewhere else. The further the better.”

“Do you think I’m willing to sleep with you?”

“I’ll sleep with the dog now…”

Screech —

Just as the two of them were bickering, the driver suddenly stepped on the brake!

The bearded man did not put on his seatbelt and smashed the windshield with his head.

Dong!

Dong, dong, dong…

Following that, the following vehicles could not brake in time and banged after him one after another.

“F*ck!”

The bearded man covered his forehead and glared at the driver. He flew into a rage. “What are you doing?!”

“Boss… Boss…” The driver gulped and pointed forward nervously.

The bearded man immediately turned his head and looked at the position where the driver’s finger was pointing at.

He saw a huge beast claw appear out of thin air a few dozen meters away.

The straight and sharp fingernails tore violently, causing the distorted space to become larger and larger.

“Exotic beast?” The bearded man narrowed his eyes and put down the husky in his hand.

“This is a ‘newborn’ exotic beast, right?” Chen Yu observed for a moment and asked.

“Yes. All of you sit in the car. Don’t move. I’ll go down and take a look.”

Creak — Bang.

The car door was pulled open and closed.

The bearded man got out of the car. Under everyone’s nervous gaze, he walked to the front of the spatial crack.

“Roar…”

Faintly, he could hear the roars of beasts coming from the corner of the spatial crack.

Dong!

A Level 6 force erupted, blowing away the snow around him, revealing the asphalt pavement that was filled with cracks under his feet.

Pa!

His hands clasped together, and a cold glint flickered in the bearded man’s eyes.

“Martial Art — Grasp of the Earth!”

Hong long long…

As soon as he finished speaking, two earth thorns in the shape of pythons suddenly shot out from the soil on both sides of the road.

Ga ga ga…

The earth thorns revolved, revolved, and twisted. After spinning a few times in midair, they firmly wrapped around the claws of the exotic beast that had extended out.

“Ha!”

The bearded man roared, and with his palms pressed together, he fiercely pulled!

Rip…

A bear-shaped exotic beast that was more than twenty meters in size was instantly dragged out from the spatial rift.

“Roar!”

The exotic beast was suspended in the tangled earth spike. It struggled and roared with all its might.

It attempted to break free from the restrictions of the martial arts.

But the bearded man naturally wouldn’t give it a chance.

Pa!

The bearded man pressed his palms together again.

On the left side of the road, another earth spike soared into the sky!

Puchi!

The sharp tip drilled into the exotic beast’s buttocks, and the top of its head protruded out. Tons of blood poured down.

The exotic beast was instantly killed.

It retreated ten meters to prevent the blood from sticking to its body. The bearded man casually flung it…

Rumble!

The hundred-ton corpse was immediately flung away by the earth spike, and it crashed heavily a few hundred meters away.

Chen Yu: “… Awesome.”

Chen Yu was already very experienced in fighting exotic beasts nowadays.

He could tell at a glance that it was a peak Level 4 exotic beast.

It was actually so easily taken care of.

Although he could also kill Level 4 and Level 5 exotic beasts, he only relied on the full buff and the power of his BB longsword. It was completely different from a ‘real’ combat strength like the bearded man.

Creak…

Pushing the door open, Chen Yu walked past a pool of blood on the ground and walked to the spatial rift to observe it.

“Kid, don’t get too close.” The bearded man reached out to stop Chen Yu.

“Why?”

“You can think of this thing as an exotic beast spawn point in the game. One might suddenly appear out of nowhere.”

“Exotic beasts… Come out from here?”

“Yes.” The bearded man nodded, took out two cigarettes, and handed one to Chen Yu. “Exotic beasts can’t breed and mate. They all come from this kind of spatial rift.”

Chen Yu took the cigarette, took out a lighter, and lit it for each other. He took a deep breath. “When will this thing disappear?”

“It won’t disappear for a while. We can only go around it. F*ck… My head hurts.”

“This kind of situation rarely happens, right?”

“Rarely?” The bearded man pursed his lips. “I’ve been traveling north and south for decades, but this is the first time I’ve seen it.”

“Inside…” Chen Yu carefully poked his head out. “What’s inside?”

“I don’t know.” The bearded man flicked the ash off his cigarette. “Many scientific research teams around the world are trying to figure out what drones, wireless cameras, and even Level 8 fighters have entered.”

“No results?”

“No results at all. According to the martial arts sensing, that Level 8 fighter died within a few seconds of entering.”

“…” Chen Yu’s teeth hurt.

“From now on, no one wants to study this thing anymore.” After sucking dry the last wisp of smoke, the bearded man flicked his cigarette butt and waved to the back. “Everyone, spread out and go around.”

Beep beep —

All the drivers pressed their horns at the same time.

Then, they began to move forward in an orderly manner.

The spatial rift was located on the right side of the road.

The convoy could only drive on the left side.

Fortunately, the road was wide enough. Before long, all the vehicles passed through smoothly.

“Are you still looking? Let’s go.”

Patting Chen Yu’s shoulder, the bearded man left quickly.

Chen Yu stood where he was for half a minute, his eyes staring straight at the spatial rift.

“Exotic beasts…”

“How did they come into being?”

…

The convoy set off again.

With the experience of the sudden appearance of the ‘monster grinding spot’, the speed of each vehicle was greatly reduced without the bearded man’s command.

And reality proved that this was very correct.

Because on the following journey, until the afternoon, the convoy encountered two more incidents of the ‘spatial rift’.

A total of three exotic beasts drilled out!

Seeing this situation, the bearded man made a prompt decision and immediately ordered the convoy to set up camp on the spot and stop their journey.

“We’re not leaving?” Chen Yu asked.

“We’re not leaving.” The bearded man raised his head and looked at the sky. “The sky isn’t dark, so our vision will definitely be obstructed. The spatial rift is transparent, so it’s easy to bump into it. We’ll continue our journey tomorrow morning.”

“The time to arrive at ice city will be delayed, right?”

“It won’t be. We ran very fast yesterday.”

As he spoke, the bearded man took out a box from the trunk of the SUV and handed it to Chen Yu. “Take it.”

“What’s this?” Chen Yu took it in puzzlement. “Holy sh*t, it’s a little heavy.”

“Military munitions. When you go out to sleep, bring it with you for self-defense.”

Chen Yu: “…”

The bearded man’s expression was serious. “Encountering three beast passages in a day. This can’t be a coincidence. In the past, such things would only appear in large numbers before the Beast Tide.”

“There’s going to be a Beast Tide nearby?” Chen Yu was shocked.

“No.”The bearded man shook his head. “The beast passages that appear before the Beast Tide will have hundreds and thousands of exotic beasts drilling out, and they’re especially dense. The cracks we encountered, one or two would disappear after drilling out. It shouldn’t be a Beast Tide.”

“Is that so?” Chen Yu seemed to be deep in thought.

“En. In short, this world is becoming more and more abnormal. In the past, I thought that although humans would definitely become extinct, they wouldn’t become extinct in my generation. But now it seems…”

Sighing, the bearded man didn’t say anything else and turned around to leave.

Clang.

Chen Yu shook the box. His emotions were also complicated as he left silently.

Ten minutes later.

The five of them left the convoy and stopped by a dense forest.

“The convoy camped early today.” Ma Li raised her wrist and revealed her Rolex watch.

“Yeah. The captain was scared out of his wits.” Ma Yan also raised her hand and revealed her four Rolexes.

“Tsk. Showing off your wealth.”

Chen Siwen opened the tent and mumbled softly, “So what if you have money…”

“Here.” Hearing that, Ma Yan walked over, took a piece, and handed it to Chen Siwen. “I’ll give it to you.”

Chen Siwen: “…Mom.”

Ma Yan: “Don’t, you’re too old.”

Chen Siwen: “Sister-in-law, what do you think of my brother? Let me tell you a secret. At night, he can m*sturbate…”

Clang!

Chen Yu was expressionless as he pulled out the long sword on the BB’s head.

Chen Siwen: “…Anyway… You understand.”

“I understand, I understand.” Ma Yan licked her lips and took out two more pieces, giving them to Chen Siwen. “I’ll give them all to you. If you don’t like them, I still have some at home.”

“I like them! Of course I like them. I’m actually not interested in Rolex. It’s mainly because you gave them to me as a gift. I like them.”

Chen Yu: “You better have some face.”

“Brother Yu, this last piece is for you.” Ma Yan took the last Rolex. “The most expensive one.”

Chen Yu: “…Do you have your household registration book with you?”

…

At night, the moon was like a hook.

Winter in the north was dry and cold.

Gusts of strong winds mixed with snowflakes blew past. There was only the sound of branches swaying in the air.

Rip!

Suddenly, Chen Yu’s tent was pulled open.

Ma Li poked her head in. “Brother Yu?”

Chen Yu, who was in his sleeping bag, raised his head and asked expressionlessly, “What are you doing now?”

“My… My period has passed.”

“Oh.” Chen Yu nodded. “I’m sorry for your loss.”

Ma Li: “…”

“Please close the tent and don’t let any strange air in. Thank you.”

“Zip it.”

After zipping it up, Ma Li slipped away.

But not long after, Chen Yu had just laid down when Ma Yan slipped in again.

“Brother Yu?”

Chen Yu: “…”

Ma Yan: “I can’t sleep alone. It’s cold.”

Chen Yu: “Oh, then it’ll be warm when you pee in the bed.”

Ma Yan: “…”

“Zip it.”

After zipping it up, Ma Yan also retreated in defeat.

At the same time.

In the tent beside them.

BB slowly retracted her fist.

She looked at the unconscious Chen Siwen and said with a satisfied expression, “To serve the Human Lords, this is what Glory Robots should do…”

“Urgh…”

“…”

“Urgh…”

But at this moment, a faint, deep, strange sound could be heard.

BB, who was focused all the time, immediately turned her head and looked towards the west.

Her gaze penetrated through the tent, through Chen Yu’s clothes, through his body, through the jungle, through the snow and dust in the sky. She could clearly see the blurry black shadow that was rushing towards them.

“That is…”

The alarm in BB’s heart was instantly raised.
