Chapter 276 - Is There Still Hope For Humans?
Chapter 276: Is There Still Hope For Humans?
Chen Yu’s expression changed drastically when he saw Bahuang Yao open her eyes. He quickly stepped forward, turned off the power, lifted the glass cover, and leaned over to observe the young girl’s condition.
However, other than opening her eyelids, Bahuang Yao’s body was still stiff.
Chen Yu reached out and carefully opened her eyelids.
Her pupils were still dilated.
There was still no pulse on her neck.
There was still no heartbeat on her chest.
All the symptoms indicated that she was a completely dead person…
He stood in place and was silent for a long time.
Chen Yu sighed and closed the young girl’s eyes. He closed the glass cover and turned on the freezing switch again.
Hiss hiss…
White frost hung on the glass again.
Obviously.
The sudden opening of her eyes was only a contraction reaction caused by the freezing of water.
After exhausting her life force, Bahuang Yao was dead.
“Good night…”
Patting the box lightly, Chen Yu left behind a sentence, turned around, and left.
Bang.
Closing the metal door tightly, he leaned against the doorpost, took out a box of unopened cigarettes from his backpack, and lit it in his mouth.
“Hu…”
The dispersing dense mist mixed with Chen Yu’s thoughts slowly floated upwards.
For a moment, he felt a little tired.
On one hand, it was how to revive Bahuang Yao.
After all, feigning death wasn’t really death. Whether it was useful or not was another matter.
If the ‘feigning death method’ was useless, then everything would be troublesome.
On the other hand, he was also worried about the future of mankind.
A superpower that had been brewing for decades was still unable to withstand the incoming Beast Tide.
Even if they won this time… How much did the exotic beasts pay? And what did the humans pay?
In terms of technology, countless top-tier firearms could only deplete the enemy’s low-level cannon fodder.
Even a Level 8 exotic beast would be able to create a space barrier, let alone a Level 9 one, and be unharmed. At the same time, it could also protect its own kind around it…
In terms of martial artists, almost all the strength of the country wasn’t enough to fight a Beast Tide.
Martial artists of the same level did not have the upper hand against exotic beasts of the same level. However, after the preparation of the humans, the battlefield could only be a pathetic one-on-three, one-on-four, or even one-on-five…
Where was the hope of the humans in such a comparison of combat strength?
“Hu…”
Chen Yu exhaled a deep puff of smoke again, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
‘I have to make a trip to the Qingcheng Alien Realm.’
‘If I can bring all the humans in…’
“Hey!”
Just as Chen Yu was lost in his thoughts, a man in a white coat walked over. “This is the experimental dissecting area. You can’t smoke here.”
“Oh.”
Chen Yu nodded and opened his mouth to swallow the rest of the smoke. He chewed and swallowed.
[Ingestion of poison: Strength +1; Stomach Health +3]
The man in white: “…”
After looking at Chen Yu for a long time, the man in the white coat couldn’t help but ask, “Um… you… Where did you come from?”
“Don’t ask me where I came from.”
The man was stunned, but then he said excitedly, “My hometown is far away! Why do I wander around? Just to find a fair place!”
Chen Yu: “?”
“You’re actually a comrade of the Fair Association!” The man strode forward and held Chen Yu’s hands enthusiastically. “Why is the organization looking for me?”
Chen Yu: “??”
“I know. It’s not convenient to talk here.” The man looked left and right before he pulled the dumbfounded Chen Yu into the office next door.
Chen Yu: “???”
Padah.
After locking the door, the man happily poured a cup of tea for Chen Yu. “Come, sit!”
Chen Yu: “…”
“There’s no one here, and there’s no surveillance equipment either. Don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe! It won’t be heard by outsiders. Have some tea, have some tea, haha.”
Silently taking the teacup, Chen Yu felt even more exhausted…
‘If I explain my identity to the other party now, I might not be able to explain it clearly…’
He thought about it and took a sip of tea.
“How should I address you, comrade?” The man asked curiously. “My name is * * .”
“I… I, um…” Chen Yu scratched his ear. “Duan Ye.”
“Oh! Hello, Duan Ye!”
“Hello, hello.”
“The organization sent you here this time. Is there any follow-up plan?”
“AH, follow-up plan… where should I start? You should first summarize the previous plans.”
“What’s there to summarize?” The man spread his hands. “Isn’t it just blowing up the hospital?”
Chen Yu: “…”
Putting down the teacup, Chen Yu stood up and turned to leave.
“Eh? Comrade… Comrade Duan Ye, where are you going?”
“I’m a little full from drinking. I’m going out for a walk…”
“How can you be full from drinking tea? The key is that you haven’t even drunk a few mouthfuls!”
“That…” Chen Yu stopped and said seriously, “Yes, the organization sent me here to see how your preparations are going.”
“That’s it?” The man shrugged. “I can definitely be trusted when I handle things. Now, the hospital director is one of us.”
“The hospital director? The person in charge of this hospital?”
“Yes. And he’s the boss. The hospital is privately run by the hospital director.”
Chen Yu: “…The hospital is his?”
“That’s right.”
“And then they found out that you were going to blow up the hospital?”
“That’s right.”
“You don’t have any objections?”
“No, I don’t.”
“…Don’t you think that something’s not right?”
The man spread his hands and had a strange look on his face. “What’s not right about that?”
“…” After a long silence, Chen Yu scratched his ears and cheeks. “Let me explain it to you from the beginning. The hospital belongs to the hospital director! You, you came here to bomb the hospital! And you told the hospital director about this?”
“That’s right.”
“The director agrees?”
“That’s right.” The man nodded. “He especially agrees and joined the Fair Association.”
“Then… Then doesn’t this hospital belong to the Fair Association?”
“You could say that.”
“Then… the Fair Association still insisted on blowing it up?” Chen Yu was stunned.
“That’s right.” The man was excited. “For the sake of fairness!”
Chen Yu: “…”
“…Eh? Comrade Duan Ye, where are you going?”
“I’m going back to report.”
“Oh, then please put in a few good words to the higher-ups! I’m currently contacting the police chief, and I’m also preparing to pull him in as well…”
Chen Yu: “…”
Bang!
Walking out and closing the door, Chen Yu looked at the ceiling speechlessly.
Where was the hope of humanity…
“Hey, what are you standing there for?”
Ma Li, who was carrying a huge stack of documents, walked over. “I’ve found a way for you to fake your death.”
“Let’s not talk about fake death for now.” Chen Yu waved his hand. “We have to go.”
“Why?”
Walking forward, Chen Yu lowered his voice. “The people here might be a little abnormal.”
“That’s it?” Ma Li waved her hand. “If they’re not normal, then they’re normal.”
Chen Yu: “?”
Ma Li: “This is a mental hospital.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Full name: Tang City Antipsychotic Mental Disease Treatment and Research Institute.”
Chen Yu: “…”
…
“Here, look at these methods of suspended animation. Which one do you like?”
After entering Sealed Room 3, Mary first checked the girl’s frozen condition. Then, she stuffed the documents in her arms into Chen Yu’s hands. “Yeah? You’re quite romantic, huh? There’s a lock tattooed on her. Is there a key tattooed on your side?”
“Shut up.”
Chen Yu put all the documents on the table and checked them one by one.
Soon, he found a few that he liked.
“How about these?”
“Let me take a look.” Ma Li walked over and took the documents. She opened them one by one. “Are they all drugs?”
“Yes. And they’re all the kind with an antidote.”
“Why don’t you choose the surgery type? The success rate is high, the effect is good, and it’s safer,” Ma Li asked.
“I won’t choose it.”
Chen Yu refused flatly.
He was afraid that after the doctor gave him the surgery, not only would he not die, but he would even be able to dance on the operating table…
“Alright, it’s up to you.” Ma Li patted the folder. “Are there only these few types?”
“Yes. Make two more copies of the medicine and the antidote. Especially the antidote, there must be more.”
“Alright, I’ll go prepare them for you.”
“Before you prepare it…” Chen Yu turned around and pointed at the freezer. “Do you have a portable one? I want to take Xiao Yao with me.”
“Are you really leaving?”
“Of course. If I don’t leave now, it’ll explode.”
“Back to Qingcheng?”
“Yes, back to Qingcheng.”
“I have a portable freezer, but I suggest you hire a freezer truck and join a courier company. It’s much safer,” Ma Li suggested. “Why don’t you carry it? Qingcheng is too far away.”
“Make the arrangements.”
“Okay. I’ll find a car for you and contact the courier.”
Chen Yu: “I heard that the courier fee is very expensive.”
Ma Li: “I’ll pay.”
“Be careful.” Chen Yu gave her a thumbs up. “This money won’t be wasted on me. It’ll be deducted from your dowry in the future.”
Ma Li: “…It’s done. What you’re saying is really manly.”
After a brief exchange.
Ma Li gave him a card key and left.
Chen Yu stayed in his room and continued to observe the frozen state of Bahuang Yao. After confirming that there were no problems, he went out as well.
He locked the door and took the elevator to the first floor. He went outside and found a bench to sit on. He took out his phone and was about to call home.
While he was at it, he went online to check out the situation in Beijing.
However, when he pressed the power button, he realized that his phone was already out of battery.
He looked around and before long, Chen Yu saw a beautiful girl passing by. He quickly waved his hand. “Hello! Pretty lady!”
The girl stopped and looked at Chen Yu in surprise. “Are you calling for me?”
“Yes.” Chen Yu raised his phone. “Pretty lady, did you bring your charger? I wanted to call home to tell them that I’m safe. I’m out of battery.”
“How can I not bring my charger when I’m going out?”
Chen Yu’s outstanding looks helped him successfully communicate. The girl sat beside Chen Yu happily and handed him her charger. “Here, go ahead.”
“Thank you.” Chen Yu took the charger and inserted it into his phone. He said, “Pretty lady, let me ask you something.”
The girl said, “I’m single.”
Chen Yu said, “…No, I want to ask…”
The girl said, “83,59,87.”
Chen Yu said, “I…”
The girl said shyly, “Virgin.”
Chen Yu said, “…”
The girl said, “What about you, handsome?”
Chen Yu said, “I’m single too.”
The girl said excitedly, “Then…”
Chen Yu said, “I’ve gotten divorced 249 times.”
The girl said, “…”
Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the girl affectionately. “You, are you willing to be my 250?”
“…Give me the charger. I want to go home.”
“No, no, no. I’m single. I’m just teasing you.” Chen Yu was embarrassed. He grabbed the charger and changed the topic. “I just want to ask you, do you know how things are in the capital?”
“I don’t know.” The girl was puzzled. “What’s going on in the capital?”
“Don’t you know that there’s a Beast Tide in the capital?”
“A Beast Tide in the capital?!” The girl was shocked. “Then what’s going on in the capital?”
“…I’m asking you.”
“I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking you.”
“…”
Suddenly, Chen Yu lost the patience to communicate with the other party. He lowered his head and picked up his phone. He pressed the power button and was ready to see how much power had been charged.
“Oh? Why can’t I turn it on?”
Frowning, he pressed the power button a few more times. He realized that his phone was still unable to turn it on. “Eh?”
The girl tilted her head. “Handsome, your phone is out of battery. Of course it can’t turn it on.”
Chen Yu was dumbfounded. “Didn’t I use your charger to charge it?”
The girl said, “But my charger is also out of battery.”
Chen Yu: “???”
The girl looked Chen Yu up and down. “A charger without power naturally can’t charge a phone. Handsome, don’t you have any common sense?”
“You lent it to me without power?”
“You borrowed a charger, not power.”
“…Girl, are you mentally ill?”
“How did you know?” The girl was pleasantly surprised. “Usually, only a doctor can tell! You’re really amazing.”
“…” Chen Yu took out the charger and took a deep breath. “You can go. Don’t force me to do it.”
“Alright, wait for me to finish my examination and come out. Wait for me! It’s wooden!”
The girl put away the Charger and blew a kiss. Then, she hopped into the hospital behind…
“The hope of mankind…”
Chen Yu looked up at the sky. “Where is it?”
…
In the end, Chen Yu didn’t charge his phone.
Because he remembered that he had another phone.
It was the one of Bahuang Yao.
In order to prevent the ‘female patient’ from looking for him, Chen Yu hid in a corner of a park, took out his phone, and pressed the power.
The screen immediately lit up.
“It’s charged!”
Chen Yu became excited.
However, he soon became silent.
The screensaver of the phone was a photo of him, Zhang Tie, Duan Ye, and Bahuang Yao on the train in Tang City.
In the screen, everybody looked very relaxed.
Especially Bahuang Yao.
The satisfaction on her face almost leaked out of the screen…
“Tut…”
After being silent for a few seconds, Chen Yu chuckled as he opened the screensaver and prepared to call home.
Then, his phone was stuck.
This time, it was stuck until the sky turned dark…
…
“Be careful, put it in slowly!”
Under the bright lights, a group of workers carried a cold box wrapped in white cloth and carefully put it into the car.
At the same time, the power was connected.
“That’s enough. Thank you, everyone.”
In the car, Chen Yu drove everyone away. He lifted a small piece of the white cloth and saw the steady girl inside. He was relieved.
Bang!
Jumping out of the carriage and locking the door, Chen Yu nodded to Ma Li. “You’ve really helped a lot today. Thank you.”
“Do you still need to thank us for our current relationship?” Ma Li blinked.
“Okay, I won’t be unreasonable. I’ll leave the matter of the medicine to you.”
“No problem. At most, I’ll return to Qingcheng to look for you the day after tomorrow. There’s a batch of materials that are difficult to get. I’ll wait for Shanghai to airlift them.”
Chen Yu cupped his hands and didn’t say anything else. He turned around and got into the co-pilot seat of the frozen car. “See you in Qingcheng.”
Ma Li waved her hand. “See you in Qingcheng.”
Hum —
The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the truck engine roared as it slowly drove out of the city gate.
Hum hum…
Around them, more than a dozen Zhongtong Express Delivery vehicles immediately started up and sped up. They surrounded the truck and drove toward the south.
“Have a safe journey!” Ma Li waved her hand vigorously.
Chen Yu stuck his head out of the window. “Go back.”
Ma Li covered her mouth with her hands and shouted, “Be safe!”
Chen Yu: “…”
Ma Li: “Don’t let anything happen…”
Chen Yu: “…Can you plant more flags?”
…
At the same time.
In the distance, on the towering city wall.
A man and a woman were hiding in the darkness of the battlements.
“Is that Chen Yu?” the man asked.
“Yes.”The woman nodded.
“Leave it to me.”
“He’s a little weird. Be careful.”
“No matter how weird he is, he’s only Level 2. Wait for my good news.”
The woman turned her head and looked at the man in a daze. “Please be safe.”
The man: “…”
The woman: “Please have a safe journey”
The man: “…”
The woman: “When you come back, we’ll get married.”
The man: “…Why don’t you just stab me?”
