“It must be Chen Yu!”
Turning his head around, Bahuang Yi was full of eloquence.
“Chen Yu?” Jill was dumbfounded. “What Chen Yu? What’s wrong with Chen Yu?”
“…”
Just as he was about to finish his sentence, Bahuang Yi suddenly thought of something and forcefully restrained himself. He shut his mouth tightly.
After a moment of silence, he tore up the information and turned around. He took down the photos on the wall one by one, rubbed them, and burned them to ashes with a ball of flame. “Nothing.”
“That’s not right.” Jill frowned. “You’re hiding something from me.”
Bahuang Yi: “You’ve eaten sh*t.”
“I’m f*cking asking you! What’s wrong with Chen Yu?!”
Bahuang Yi: “You’ve eaten sh*t.”
“F*ck! Don’t change the topic!” Jill was furious.
Bahuang Yi: “You’ve eaten sh*t.”
Jill: “…”
Bahuang Yi: “…”
Clenching his fists, Jill calmed down. After a moment of silence, he said, “I’m your teacher. You can’t hide anything from me…”
Bahuang Yi: “You’ve eaten sh*t.”
“F*ck your mother.”
“You’ve eaten sh*t.”
“F*ck your mother.”
“You’ve eaten sh*t.”
“F*ck your mother…”
…
The two of them continued to ‘curse’ each other until the afternoon flight. Only then did they stop when the flight attendant stopped them.
Jill was so angry that he completely forgot to ask about ‘Chen Yu’.
Bahuang Yi naturally managed to change the topic…
“Why are you guys fighting again?” The old woman sitting in the leader’s seat frowned.
“We’re playing.” Sitting next to the leader, Bahuang Yi pulled open the curtain of the porthole and said calmly, “Where are we going this time?”
“Tang City,” the old woman answered.
“Tang City…” Bahuang Yi’s eyes did not waver. “To look for that ‘black-robed man’?”
“Oh?” The old woman turned her head and raised her eyebrows. She looked Bahuang Yi up and down. “How do you know about this kind of thing?”
“Is it strange that I know the martial arts world’s secret?”
“Oh, that’s right.” The old woman sneered. “After all, he’s the ‘commander’ of the future human race. It would be strange if you didn’t know.”
Huala.
Bahuang Yi closed the curtain and didn’t comment.
“Since you know about this, I won’t keep it a secret from you.” The old woman moved closer to Bahuang Yi’s ear and asked, “People without emotions tend to have more accurate observation skills. Did you find anything about that black-robed man?”
Bahuang Yi didn’t answer. Instead, he pondered for a moment and asked in return, “If we find that black-robed man, what will happen to the authorities?”
“We definitely have to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.” The old woman’s expression was serious. “Actually, the current situation of the humans is very bad. If that black-robed man was really the one who controlled the internal strife of the Level 9 exotic beast, then he must stand out and lead the humans in order to develop.”
“Then, have you ever thought that since he covered his face and hid his identity, he doesn’t want to be found by you?”
“Individual emotions are not worth mentioning in the face of group survival.” The old woman waved her hand. “Whether he wants to or not, it’s his business. The Beast Tide is getting fiercer and fiercer with each wave. As a member of the human race, his ability is still so strong. Why wouldn’t he take the lead? It is impossible.”
“Maybe some people are not born to be leaders.”
“If you can’t be a leader, you can at least be a fighter.”
“…” Hearing this, Bahuang Yi turned his head and stopped talking.
“Let’s go back to the previous question. You have good observation skills. Have you found anything about the black-robed man? I can provide you with relevant photos and videos.”
“No.” Bahuang Yi was cold.
Nodding, the old woman did not think too much. She retracted her body and closed her eyes to rest. She waited for the plane to take off.
Teng…
Bahuang Yi’s cold eyes shone with a cold light.
He was now 100% sure that the black-robed man was Chen Yu!
Although he did not know why Chen Yu wanted to hide his identity, he decided to protect this secret. He wiped away all the ‘tails’ that Chen Yu left behind.
Chen Yu could not be exposed!
As a member of the upper-echelons of humanity, Bahuang Yi fully understood the dangers of the upper echelons of martial artists.
Mission danger.
Battle danger.
Conspiracy danger…
The Beast Tide was now menacing, and it was even more dangerous to be on the frontlines!
Once exposed to the frontlines, not to mention that Chen Yu did not have the strength of a Level 9, even if he had the strength of a Level 9, he would still be bound by the ‘will’ of humanity.
After all, as a member of the human race, as long as he had feelings, when his status and power reached a certain level, he would consciously pursue ‘self-actualization.’
In the post-apocalyptic world, many ‘self-actualization’ was often ‘self-sacrifice.’
To Bahuang Yi, this was an extremely stupid act.
‘Chen Yu…’
Closing his eyes, Bahuang Yi secretly clenched his fists and prepared to make a plan.
Kill all those who might expose Chen Yu’s identity.
Erase all traces that might expose Chen Yu’s secret.
The survival of mankind?
What did it have to do with Bahuang Yi?
No matter how strong Chen Yu was, it was enough to use all his strength to protect his sister…
Mankind?
What was that?
…
At the same time.
Qingcheng, the wealthy district.
In the basement of the villa.
Hulalala…
Her frozen thoughts slowly dissolved. In her daze, she vaguely heard the sound of running water.
“I…”
“Where is this…”
After being stunned for a moment, she tried her best to turn her head and use her blurry eyes to look at the location where the sound of running water came from.
She saw a bathtub in the distance.
In the bathtub, the ‘yellow’ liquid was slowly decreasing, gradually revealing a wooden statue.
“He…”
“Who is it…”
“It’s so familiar…”
Blinking her eyes that were dilated, Bahuang Yao wanted to prop herself up and sit up. However, she realized that her arms could not exert any strength.
It was as if every cell in her body was in a state of withering.
“This is…”
His chest started to rise and fall.
His eyes slowly focused.
Bahuang Yao felt that his body was recovering at a ‘terrifying’ speed.
‘I’ve experienced this kind of experience before…’
‘It’s…’
‘It’s Brother Yu’s medicine…’
‘Brother Yu.’
‘Brother Yu!’
Bahuang Yao’s naked body trembled. She coughed violently twice and struggled to get up.
‘I remember now.’
‘I’m Bahuang Yao.’
‘Brother Yu and I were chased by exotic beasts…’
‘Brother Yu…’
As she tumbled, the young girl lost her balance and fell directly from the platform.
Plop!
She crashed into the ground head-on.
“Wu.”
The intense pain caused Bahuang Yao’s thoughts to become clearer.
The secretion of adrenaline also allowed her to gradually control every part of her body.
“Brother Yu.”
“Chen Yu…”
As if due to some special feeling, Bahuang Yao looked at the bathtub. “Brother Yu.”
Splash…
The water in the bathtub continued to flow.
More and more of Chen Yu’s wooden body was revealed.
“Brother Yu.”
The girl staggered as she walked towards Chen Yu.
All of her memories became clearer as she moved.
In her blurry vision, Chen Yu, who was lying in the bathtub, and Chen Yu, who was lying on the ground in the capital city, gradually overlapped…
Plop.
Suddenly, Bahuang Yao tripped with her left foot and her right foot before falling to the ground and vomiting large mouthfuls of gastric juice.
When all the filth was vomited out, the young girl’s pain lessened. She reached out and grabbed the edge of the bathtub to get up.
“It’s Brother Yu.”
Although his wooden face was not very clear…
She still recognized at a glance that the wood in the bathtub was definitely Chen Yu!
“Why… has it become like this…”
Splash…
Just as the girl was confused and panicking, the liquid in the bathtub had already drained through the drain.
The buoy that was floating on the surface of the water fell.
A fishing line was tied to the top of the buoy, and the fishing line was connected to the plastic bag above the bathtub.
When the buoy touched the bottom, its own weight stretched the fishing line, causing the plastic bag to fall.
Crack!
It smashed into Chen Yu’s body.
Bahuang Yao: “…”
The Wood Powder in the plastic bag scattered in the air, instantly filling the entire basement.
It also successfully splashed onto Bahuang Yao’s body.
Thus, the young girl who had just resurrected and had yet to warm up lost consciousness again, turning into a wood sculpture.
Bahuang Yao: “…”
[Contact with an unknown substance.]
[The body produces a malignant chemical reaction: Lignification -146]
[Lignification -154; -138; -145…]
Meanwhile, Chen Yu’s thoughts returned. He slowly changed from a human-shaped wooden sculpture to a ‘human-shaped’ one and fell to the ground.
“Puff, puff…”
Opening his eyes, Chen Yu covered his mouth and nose and dispersed the Wood Powder around him. He sat up and looked at the simple platform immediately, then he was shocked.
“What the f*ck? Where’s Xiao Yao?”
The wooden Bahuang Yao, who was lying on the ground: “…”
“Where did she resurrect?”
Jumping out of the bathtub, Chen Yu was just about to look around when he suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were stiff.
He looked down and saw that it was the wooden Bahuang Yao. He immediately slapped his forehead and suddenly came to a realization. “F*ck, I forgot that Wood Conversion Powder is an area-of-effect attack.”
He hurriedly lifted his leg and helped the wooden sculpture up.
Chen Yu looked at it carefully from top to bottom. After confirming that there was no damage, he picked up the girl and placed her in the bathtub.
Then, he filled the bathtub with water again and took out a bag of ‘green tree sap’. He opened the seal and carefully poured out a small part of it and poured it on the girl.
The sap quickly spread in the water.
Not long after, the girl opened her eyes again.
“Yu… Yu…”
The first thing she saw was Chen Yu. This confused the girl and her body slowly sank. “Brother Yu, gurgle…”
“Rise!”
Chen Yu reacted quickly. He grabbed Bahuang Yao’s long hair and pulled her out of the water.
Bahuang Yao: “…”
Chen Yu: “…”
Bahuang Yao: “Brother Yu, it hurts…”
“There’s nothing I can do even if it hurts,” Chen Yu explained. “I can’t get wet.”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
“How about I change my hand?” Chen Yu changed the right hand that was holding the girl’s hair to his left hand.
“It still hurts.”
“It’s fine. It won’t hurt when you comes out of the water.”
As he said that, Chen Yu pulled Bahuang Yao out of the bathtub and placed her on the ground.
“Ah…” Bahuang Yao lay on the ground in a daze. After a long while, she suddenly reacted and covered her chest. “I… I’m not wearing any clothes!”
Chen Yu said, “It’s okay. I often don’t wear any clothes either.”
The girl’s face instantly flushed red. She stumbled up and went back into the bathtub.
Splash!
Green water droplets splashed in all directions and dripped on Chen Yu’s body, causing pieces to turn into wood.
Chen Yu frowned and took out a bag of Wood Conversion Powder from his backpack on the ground. He sprinkled it on his body to remove the parts of wood that had turned into wood. Then, he turned around and said, “I’m not looking at you. Xiao Yao, find a piece of clothing to put on first.”
“No… Don’t look…” The girl’s voice trembled.
“Yeah.”Chen Yu nodded. “I can’t see anything either.”
Bahuang Yao: “…” (critical hit)
The redness on her face slowly faded. The girl looked deeply at Chen Yu’s back and climbed out of the bathtub.
“Oh, right.” Chen Yu turned around abruptly. “The clothes are in the freezer…”
“Ahhh! Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t look!” Bahuang Yao jumped back into the bathtub in embarrassment and anger.
“I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to find the clothes.”
“Turn around!”
“Seriously, if you cover your face, no one will be able to tell if you’re male or female.”
Bahuang Yao: “…” (critical hit × 2)
A moment later, along with a ‘sparse’ sound, Bahuang Yao put on her clothes and walked behind Chen Yu.
“Are you done?”
Chen Yu turned around. As soon as he finished his sentence, he was pounced on by the girl in front of him.
“Ah…” Chen Yu was stunned.
“Brother Yu.” Bahuang Yao buried her head into Chen Yu’s embrace. Her tone went from undulating, to trembling, to sobbing, and finally to crying.
“…” Chen Yu opened his mouth, wanting to change the topic and use a joke to divert the other party’s emotions. But after thinking carefully for a moment, he decided to give up. He let Bahuang Yao bawl.
“It’s okay.”
He reached out and hugged the young girl’s shoulder. Chen Yu patted her gently. “I told you, you won’t die.”
“I… I’m afraid…”
“Don’t be afraid.”
“I’m afraid that I’ll never… see you again.” The young girl’s body went limp.
“I won’t.” Chen Yu hugged Bahuang Yao and whispered, “Do you still remember the scene when we first met?”
“I… I remember.”
“You still remember?” Chen Yu was surprised. “I’ve long forgotten.”
“…” Bahuang Yao stopped crying.
“The second time we met, do you remember?”
“…I remember.”
“What about the third time?”
“…I remember.”
Chen Yu frowned. “What about the fourth time?”
Bahuang Yao: “…No… I don’t remember.”
“Right.” Chen Yu moved his mouth to the girl’s ear. “Do you still remember the fourth time we met? At that time, I told you that I would never leave you. Have you forgotten?”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
Chen Yu repeated, “Have you forgotten?”
Bahuang Yao: “No… I haven’t forgotten.”
“That’s right.” Chen Yu smiled. “Xiao Yao, I have fulfilled my promise.”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
“And what about your promise? Why haven’t you fulfilled it?”
“I… What promise did I make?”
“Do you still remember the fifth time we met? You told me that you would never cry to me.”
Bahuang Yao: “I really didn’t say such a thing.”
“Then you must have forgotten.”
“…”
Not knowing how to say it, the girl could only remain silent again.
In the quiet basement, the two of them hugged each other without speaking.
Under the dim incandescent lamp, a wonderful feeling was dyed. Gradually, it turned into romance and filled the room.
“Harder.”
After a long while, the girl spoke hoarsely.
“Ah?” Chen Yu was at a loss.
“Use more strength.”
“Huh?”
“Hug me hard.” Bahuang Yao bit her lips. “I… I want to make sure that this isn’t a dream.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu sighed and hugged the girl’s shoulders tightly.
“Go… Go… Go down a little.” The girl’s face seemed to be bleeding, and her voice was faint.
“No.” Chen Yu immediately refused.
“Go down a little bit.”
“No.”
“Why…” Bahuang Yao raised her head and looked at Chen Yu in a daze.
Chen Yu: “You can’t pass the trial.”
Bahuang Yao: “?”
In the underground garage, the originally charming atmosphere instantly disappeared….
