Chapter 272: Life and Death (2)
Disaster, birth of chaos.
Chaos, birth of sin.
In order to ensure the basic transportation and operation functions of the city, the capital implemented the most stringent security measures in history.
Most of the people could not leave their houses, let alone their communities. Other than sending out special groups of people such as minors and pregnant women, the rest could only wait for their deaths.
Therefore, the main road in the south of the city was more spacious than usual.
Even the private cars parked on both sides of the road would be overturned by the military forklifts, making it easier for the evacuation convoy to move smoothly..
Chen Yu, Ma Li, and Bahuang Yao ran quickly on such an empty street, each feeling different.
“Brother Yu.” Bahuang Yao followed at the end, glancing at the faces in the glass windows on both sides from the corner of her eyes. She bit her lips tightly. “I feel like I’m abandoning this city…”
“You’re too sensitive. Don’t think too much,” Chen Yu comforted her.
“Is there really no other way…”
“If there was a way, we wouldn’t call this place the end of the world.”
“…” The girl fell silent.
“Let them through!”
In the distance, when the military officer saw Chen Yu and the other two running over, he immediately put up his gauntlet and set up an isolation device.
“This identity is really great.” Ma Li sighed. “Even if you have money, you can’t buy it.”
“I realized that you like to use money to measure things.” Chen Yu looked sideways.
“That’s right.” Ma Li nodded without hiding anything. “Because I have money.”
“Then since I saved you this time, you should give me some of this, right?” Chen Yu made a gesture of rubbing his fingers.
“If you want to marry me, I will use all my wealth as a dowry.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu’s eyes lit up.
Behind him, Bahuang Yao’s expression froze.
Ma Li turned around, lifted her hood, and looked at Bahuang Yao with a smile. “How is it? What dowry do you have?”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
After a moment of silence, the young girl opened her backpack as she ran and searched carefully for the things inside.
However, after searching for a while, not only did she not find a treasure that could be used as a dowry, she could not even find her own phone…
“Brother Yu…” The girl looked up in shock.
“What’s wrong?”
“I… I lost my cell phone.”
“Oh.” Chen Yu’s reaction was cold.
“I lost my cell phone… What should I do?”
“It’s just a cell phone. So what if you lost it?”
“But…” Bahuang Yao pursed her lips, her gaze complicated.
“It’s fine. I’ll buy it for my baby in the future.” Chen Yu pointed at Ma Li. “Use the dowry she gave me to buy the best cell phone in the world for my baby.”
The corner of Ma Li’s mouth twitched. “Can you make a. . .”
Dong! Dong! Dong —
Before she could finish her sentence, a series of dense explosions suddenly came from behind the three of them.
Chen Yu’s mind turned cold. He turned around abruptly.
He saw a huge black shadow charging toward the three of them at an extreme speed!
The dense explosion was the loud sound of its feet stepping on the road…
“Spread out!”
Chen Yu kicked Ma Li, who was beside him, away. Then, at the critical moment, he hugged Bahuang Yao and jumped to the left.
Sou —
The black shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye. It brushed past Chen Yu’s ankle and plunged into the asphalt road in front of him.
Boom!
The road caved in, and the ground shook.
The splashing gravel was ejected by the spreading shock wave, leaving two bloody scars on Chen Yu’s shoulder.
[Qi and Blood +203]
Plop.
His feet landed on the ground. Chen Yu put down Bahuang Yao and pulled out the longsword in the motherboard. His expression was grim. “It’s a Level 5 beast. It seems to be coming for me.”
The young girl came back to her senses and unleashed her strength as well. She did eight back somersaults in a row, opening up a deep space.
In the distance, Ma Li struggled to stand up. “Why did you kick me?”
“Huh?” Chen Yu was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage. “I’m trying to save you! Can’t you fucking see that?”
“Then there’s no need to kick my face, right?!” Ma Li pointed at the shoe print on her cheek.
“…Oh, maybe you’re too short.”
“It was clearly you who deliberately raised your leg.”
“Ah, I’m sorry. My leg is still small and I’m not very sensible. Don’t mind me…”
“Roar!”
While the two were bickering, the black shadow had already emerged from the deep pit. Its blood-red eyes were staring at Chen Yu.
“Brother Yu…” Bahuang Yao was stunned. “It’s… It’s a gorilla.”
“Mm.” Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
“What’s going on?” Ma Li lowered her body and retreated cautiously.
“As you can see, I’m being chased by it.”
“What? The exotic beast is still chasing after you?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“You…” Ma Li swallowed her saliva. “Did you r*pe it?”
Chen Yu: “I want to r*pe you.”
“There’s such a good thing!” Ma Li was pleasantly surprised.
“Brother Yu! It’s coming!” Bahuang Yao screamed as she reminded him.
Chen Yu’s thoughts returned instantly. He swept his longsword in the direction where the exotic beast was coming from!
The Level 2.1 strength, coupled with his constitution that had skyrocketed after eating the egg, caused his attack to have the might of an R skill.
The speed was so fast that even the sound of a sonic boom could be clearly heard.
However, the reaction of this Level 5 exotic beast was even faster. Under the tremendous inertia, it was still able to forcefully change its direction. Bypassing the range of the longsword’s damage, its furry fist aimed at Chen Yu’s head and smashed down!
Bang!
The speed of the fist was so fast that it also produced a sonic boom.
Shua.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Yu instinctively used teleportation and flashed a few meters away.
Hong!
The spot where he was originally standing was smashed into a deep pit.
The burst water pipe sprayed all over the body of the exotic beast.
“…Gulp.”
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Chen Yu’s expression was unsightly.
Obviously, this was a Level 5 exotic beast that focused on speed. It was small in size and had sharp movements. Moreover, it possessed a rather terrifying battle IQ.
If it wasn’t for the restriction of the longsword and BB’s teleportation skill, he would have been instantly killed in a single exchange…
Pressing down on his center of gravity and slowly retreating, Chen Yu began to calculate quickly in his mind.
‘The Good and Evil Retribution buff has disappeared. With my current basic strength, I should be able to take on a peak Level 3 exotic beast…’
‘Including the Leap of Faith, killing a Level 4 exotic beast shouldn’t be a problem.’
‘But this is only a Level 5 exotic beast. And it’s obviously more difficult to deal with than a normal level 5…’
‘Enlightenment? What’s Enlightenment? I don’t know this move.’
‘…’
‘I can’t win.’
In a short fifth of a second, Chen Yu came to a conclusion.
Turning his head, he glanced at Bahuang Yao and Ma Li from the corner of his eye.
‘But if you include the two of them…’
‘I can fight.’
‘If I really can’t, I can even add juxtaposition penetration…’
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu waved his hand and threw King Ren’s katana to Bahuang Yao. “Take it. I’ll be the main attacker, and you’ll be the secondary attacker.”
“Alright.” The young girl caught it in one go, and with light steps, she circled to the back of the Level 5 exotic beast.
“Ma Li, you’ll be in charge of restraining it.”
Ma Li frowned. “This is a Level 5 exotic beast. Are you confident?”
“It’s faster than us. We won’t be able to escape anyway.” Chen Yu channeled his strength and continued to lower his center of gravity, looking for the opponent’s weakness. “Find an opportunity to cuckold it.”
Ma Li: “…Alright. Cuckold it. I’m a professional.”
After the three of them had finished discussing, Chen Yu’s entire body shot out like a spring, charging towards the exotic beast. His longsword was aimed straight at the enemy’s throat!
“Roar!”
The Level 5 exotic beast seemed to know the power of Chen Yu’s weapon. With a side slide shovel, it nimbly dodged the edge of the sword.
Following that, it raised its knee and heavily rammed into Chen Yu’s side ribs.
Clang!
Right at this moment, Bahuang Yao’s attack arrived, and the katana slashed over.
The gorilla bared its teeth, as if it was mocking Chen Yu.
Sou —
In the next second, it changed its knee rampage to a faster straight kick. It spread its toes and tightly grabbed Chen Yu’s left arm, swinging him towards the young lady’s blade!
“No!” Bahuang Yao was shocked. She sheathed her blade reflexively.
But the three of them had crossed each other too quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the sharp blade had cut through Chen Yu’s chest.
Swish…
[Received damage: Blood and Qi +4728]
Blood spurted wildly.
It sprayed on the face of the exotic beast. But it made it even more excited. It didn’t care whether Chen Yu was seriously injured or not. It raised its thick fists and aimed at Chen Yu’s face.
Fortunately, at this moment, the cooldown of BB’s skill was over. Chen Yu immediately used his teleportation skill, pierced through space, and came to Bahuang Yao’s side. He carried her and retreated dozens of meters.
Boom!
The exotic beast’s heavy fists hit nothing but air. Another terrifying crater was created on the ground…
“Brother Yu! Are you okay?” Bahuang Yao was so nervous that her lips turned white. She hurriedly touched Chen Yu’s chest.
“I’m fine.” Chen Yu blocked the other party’s hands. “You retracted your knife very quickly. It’s just a superficial wound.”
“But there’s so much blood…”
“I said I’m fine, so I’m fine. Here it comes!”
Boom!
Amidst the dust, Chen Yu grabbed Bahuang Yao and rushed into a restaurant that faced the street without hesitation.
Plop!
The sturdy reinforced concrete wall was easily smashed into pieces.
“Roar!”
The Level 5 Exotic Beast roared, and its muscular body chased after it. It raised its fists and smashed through the load-bearing wall, kicking over tables, chairs, and benches, and smashing the load-bearing pillars one after another.
This caused the originally stable three-story building to instantly collapse.
Rumble…
“Hu… Cough.”
In the ruins, Chen Yu and Bahuang Yao were hiding in a crevice, and their faces were covered by the heavy dust that suddenly rose up.
“Be… Be quiet… Cough…”
“Okay.” The young girl covered her mouth and nodded in pain.
“F*ck its mother, this b*stard is too fierce.” Chen Yu resisted the urge to cough and wiped the dust off his face. “I feel like I’m fighting against a Level 5 martial artist.”
“Brother Yu, are… are you really okay with your injuries? Cough cough…”
“I said I’m fine. Shh.” Covering the young girl’s mouth, Chen Yu pressed his ear against the collapsed wall and quietly listened to the tremors not far away.
After confirming that the other party hadn’t found their position, he heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s a bit difficult to deal with.”
“Mm.” Bahuang Yao nodded. “This gorilla seems to be very smart.”
“I suspect…”Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. “This gorilla is very likely the clone of that Level 9 exotic beast. That’s why it possesses intelligence that far surpasses its peers.”
“Clone…” Bahuang Yao muttered to herself.
“Mm. We have to finish this battle as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be a second and a third coming. These things are too cunning. I suspect that Gou Sheng might not have been able to block many of them back then.”
“Brother Yu, why were you being chased by a Level 9 beast…”
“I want to know too! Damn it.”
After cursing, Chen Yu waited for the cooldown of ‘flash’ to finish. He reached out to hug the young girl and urged his strength!
With a bang, he crawled out of the ruins.
Sensing the movement, the exotic beast that was still swimming among the broken bricks and tiles immediately jumped out of the ruins and roared at Chen Yu in the distance.
“Martial Skill — Leap of Faith.”
[Body suppressed: Explosive Power +35%]
“Charge!”
After giving the order, Chen Yu raised his sharp sword high and charged forward with a diagonal slash from top to bottom.
The enormous body of the Level 5 exotic beast moved strangely like a cunning rabbit. After dodging the attack, it opened its bloody mouth and bit at Chen Yu.
The eyes under its sword-like eyebrows flashed with a fierce light. Chen Yu didn’t dodge. Instead, he opened his mouth and said, “Let’s see whose teeth are tougher!”
“Roar –”
Just as the sharp teeth of the gorilla were about to come into contact with Chen Yu, he decisively used teleportation, but he sneakily left behind the BB longsword.
Puchi!
The sharp blade was instantly swallowed by the beast, and as its upper and lower jaws closed, it pierced through its protruding face.
At the same time, Chen Yu also flashed to the back of the beast’s neck. He opened his mouth and bit down hard on its ear, tearing it apart!
Rip…
Blood dripped down!
“Roar –”
The pain of having its mouth pierced through and its ear ripped apart caused the beast to roar and quickly lie down, pressing Chen Yu under its body.
Dong!
[Damage received: Qi and Blood +4885]
[Qi and Blood +3989]
Pu…
Chen Yu spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that at least ten of his ribs had been broken.
‘Just by pressing me down, I’m already half dead.’
‘If this were a direct punch, wouldn’t I explode on the spot?’
Such a thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind. He shivered, but his hands didn’t stop moving. He took out a dagger and stabbed it into the ear that the beast had ripped off, stirring it crazily and pushing it deeper.
“Roar –”
In the excruciating pain, the gorilla couldn’t catch Chen Yu behind it, so it rolled, rolled, and fell crazily.
Chen Yu was constantly suffering from severe compression injuries.
However, although blood was spurting out of Chen Yu’s mouth, he still maintained his vitality and mobility. Almost half of his arm that was holding the dagger was stuffed into the ear of the exotic beast, stirring it randomly.
As long as he wasn’t hit by the Level 5 exotic beast’s frontal attack, he would at most be severely injured.
But to him, there was no difference between ‘heavily injured’ and ‘healed’…
In a battle.
Between life and death.
It was usually only an instant.
From the moment Chen Yu launched his charge, to the moment when he left his longsword, to the moment when he tore his ear, to the moment when he was finally pressed to the ground by the exotic beast. In fact, the entire process had only taken less than two seconds.
With Bahuang Yao’s speed, she didn’t have enough time to support him.
But when she saw Chen Yu being pinned to the ground and vomiting blood continuously, she immediately became anxious.
“Martial Technique — Bahuang Zhen!”
Bang!
The young lady threw out her katana and activated her martial technique. Her fists heavily struck the hilt of the katana!
Sou —
Pushed by the tremendous force of the tremor, the katana spun violently. With a speed that far exceeded Bahuang Yao’s sprint speed, it tore through the sky and pierced deep into the exotic beast’s chest.
Puchi…
The katana went straight to the hilt…
The pain in the chest caused the gorilla’s body to distort instinctively as it raised its head.
“An opportunity!”
Beside it, Ma Li, who had been lying in wait for a long time, suddenly had her eyes light up. She pressed down with her right hand and controlled the thin thread of the ‘cuckold’ in her hand to quickly fasten the green hat floating in the air onto the head of the exotic beast!
Pa!
The small hat covered the huge head of the gorilla, but the effect was still very powerful!
The entire body of the Level 5 exotic beast fell into a stiff state.
“Quick! Only one second!” Ma Li shouted.
There was no need for a reminder. Bahuang Yao was already burning with anxiety. She decisively bit off a small part of her tongue with her teeth.
The intense pain caused her adrenaline and stress reaction to instantly reach the standard.
She had successfully activated the talent of the Bahuang clan!
Bang!
The turbulent cyclones rose one after another, and her strength level rose crazily!
Shua!
The girl moved her legs and rushed to the front of the Level 5 exotic beast at lightning speed. She grabbed the hilt of the katana and used all the strength in her body to swing it upward!
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi…
Blood, heart, lungs, broken bones… swarmed out and splashed all over Bahuang Yao’s body.
“Roar!!!”
At the same time, the cuckold’s immobilization effect disappeared, and the exotic beast began to struggle again.
The young girl’s eyes were sharp, and she actually drilled into the open chest of the exotic beast. She turned her wrist, and the katana stabbed upwards!
“Heaaah!”
Puchi —
The gorilla’s muscular body stiffened once more because the young girl’s katana had already pierced through the top of its head…
Plop…
After a short spasm.
The exotic beast’s limbs went limp, and it fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Cough…”
“Cough cough… Cough.”
She opened its chest and drew back her katana. The red-covered Bahuang Yao staggered out. After retching a few times, she used her sticky shoulders to push away the heavy body of the exotic beast and pounced on the dazed Chen Yu.
“Brother Yu…” The young girl’s tongue trembled. “You didn’t provoke it, did you?”
Chen Yu: “…”
“If you provoked it then say something!” Bahuang Yao’s anxious voice sounded like she was crying.
“…I’m hungry. I’m fine. Cough.” Chen Yu covered his broken ribs. “Are you alright?”
The young girl did not answer. Instead, she continued to check on Chen Yu’s injuries nervously. “Are you going to say something (does it hurt?)? What kind of trouble is this?”
Chen Yu: “Did you bite your tongue again?”
“Yeah. My bones are still broken… (my ribs seem to be broken)”
In the distance, Ma Li, who was hiding in a corner, walked out and looked Bahuang Yao up and down. “Your family must know that you’re so awesome, right?”
“Stop touching me. I’m fine.” Chen Yu waved his hand. He endured the pain and slowly sat up.
His injuries were not serious.
The main reason was that many of his ribs were broken, which was a little troublesome.
Broken bones were not easy to heal on their own. He needed to peel open his stomach with his own hands and correct them one by one.
“F*ck…”
When he thought of the pain he was going to face, Chen Yu could not help but curse.
“I’m fine, why are you crying? Cough… Help me up first… Hiss! Gently!”
Standing up, Chen Yu glanced at the beast corpse on the ground and began to think about how to separate the two of them and carry out the ‘treatment’ himself.
However, with his sharp hearing, he vaguely heard a slight movement.
“Wait a moment.”
Pushing away Bahuang Yao gently, Chen Yu slowly turned his head and looked at the ruins of the hotel that had collapsed.
There, there was a figure standing at the top of the ruins.
No.
It wasn’t a human figure.
It was a gorilla that was less than two meters tall.
“Squeak squeak.”
Seeing Chen Yu looking at it, the gorilla grinned, as if it was smiling.
Then..
Dong!
The force exploded.
Bahuang Yao and Ma Li turned their heads at the same time, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
That was..
A Level 6 beast…
