This Curse Is Just Awesome

After leaving the school, Chen Yu and the other two didn’t rush to the place where the mission started. Instead, they made a slight detour and arrived at the Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University.

In the ICU of the inpatient building, they found that Zhang Tie still had not woken up. However, his face had obviously become much rudder.

“Can he really wake up in half a month?” Bahuang Yao was depressed.

“In half a month, even if he doesn’t wake up, his brain should be more or less recovered,” Chen Yu said. “When the time comes, I can personally wake him up.”

“Brother Yu, you still have this ability?” Duan Ye was surprised.

“Then look.” Chen Yu was pleased with himself. He pointed at Bahuang Yao. “Back then, when she fainted, I was the one who woke her up in a few minutes.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

“Bullsh*t, bullsh*t, bullsh*t!”

After a few casual praises, Duan Ye leaned against the window and observed for a while before turning back. “Guess what I saw?”

“What?”

“I saw that there was urine flowing out of Brother Tie’s catheter.”

“…Are you f*cking crazy?” Chen Yu could not help but give the other party a slap. “Let me see.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

After a moment of silence, seeing that Chen Yu and Duan Ye were looking at the bag with excitement, she could not help but stand on her tiptoes and take a look inside.

“Hey! Then what are you guys doing? You can’t stick it to the glass.”

Suddenly, a reprimand was heard, causing the three of them to quickly turn their heads to look.

The speaker was a doctor in a white coat.

Chen Yu and Bahuang Yao happened to know them.

“Oh, it’s Doctor Chen.” Chen Yu took the initiative to greet him. “Do you still know me?”

“Yes.” Doctor Chen sneered. “Isn’t it Chen Shimei?”

“Hold my claws.”

“Hello, Doctor Chen.” Bahuang Yao bowed.

“Hello.” Doctor Chen’s expression changed rapidly. He revealed a friendly smile and sized up the girl. “How’s your recovery?”

“I’m already healed. Thank you for your treatment.”

“This has nothing to do with me. It’s mainly because of your family.” After saying a few words of humility, he glanced at the ICU. “Is that your friend in there?”

“He’s the security officer of our class.”

“Oh…” Doctor Chen nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Since he’s your security officer, I’ll apply for it later. Send him upstairs and let me treat him. I happen to have an experimental spot on hand, so there’s no need to increase the fees.”

“Really… Really?” Stars appeared in Bahuang Yao’s eyes as she bowed repeatedly. “Then, thank you so much!”

“No problem, it’s nothing.”

When Duan Ye saw this scene, he immediately moved closer to Chen Yu’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Is this a big shot?”

“He should be a big shot. Bahuang Yao was treated under his hands. No matter what, the standards upstairs are definitely higher than the standards downstairs.”

“As expected of Bahuang Yi’s younger sister.” Duan Ye smacked his lips. “You’re really something. If Brother Tie could be admitted into the high-level inpatient department in his lifetime, he would at least die with a smile.”

Chen Yu: “…If your mouth doesn’t know how to talk, you can f*cking talk through your asshole.”

Duan Ye was amazed, “You’ve been using it?”

Chen Yu: “…”

Chen Yu: “You’re really invincible.”

Soon after, Doctor Chen made a phone call. The medics and nurses then sent Zhang Tie into the elevator and transported him to the upper floor of the inpatient department.

They then followed him up.

At the sight of the familiar layout, Chen Yu suddenly asked, “Doctor Chen, I remember that there was a little boy who used to hang around here. Where did he go?”

“Oh, it’s that kid, right?” Doctor Chen waved his hand, “Don’t ask about it. You don’t want to know.”

“He’s…” Chen Yu probed, “Has he passed away?”

“No.” Doctor Chen ordered the nurse to push Zhang Tie into the ICU. After that, he turned around and revealed a mysterious smile towards Chen Yu. “He’s still alive and kicking…”

…

After leaving the hospital, Chen Yu and the other two accelerated towards the starting place of the mission —— the military camp of West City.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the West City Gate and started to queue up.

“Brother Yu.” Duan Ye looked at the rows of people entering the city in the distance and was puzzled. “There are so many foreigners. There weren’t so many in the past, right?”

“They’re all participating in the Global University Tournament, right?” Taking out his phone, Chen Yu looked at the date. “Looking at the time, it’s about to be held soon. It’s normal for it to be held half a month earlier. Oh right, by the way, we are also participating.”

“We? We’re also participating?” Duan Ye was shocked. “We’re only in the first grade, right?!”

“Brother Tie reported it to me.” Chen Yu spread his hands. “He said that the two of you had a smooth journey, and that he should let the two of you suffer some setbacks and roadblocks so that you can recognize your level earlier.”

“…I think that’s what he said to you.”

In the midst of their conversation.

The three people from Class 2 swiped their ID cards and entered the outer city.

Along the way, the three of them realized that the population on the west side of the city was really too large.

On the sidewalk, it was so crowded that even bicycles could not fit in. As far as the eye could see, they could only see a wave of human heads one after another, just like the tide of corpses in movies and television dramas..

“The people… are way too many, right?” Chen Yu was getting more and more shocked as he walked.

“I heard that the housing prices have plummeted,” Duan Ye explained. “Coupled with the government’s stimulus to the economy and subsidies, not only have people from the north, south, and east flooded in, even the citizens of other cities have also come over.”

“It’s really… so many people,” Bahuang Yao muttered to herself.

“Just by looking at this scene, who dares to say that it’s the end of the world? It’s so prosperous.”

“Other than Beijing City, there’s no other place in the world that can gather so many people,” Duan Ye sighed…

Another half an hour passed.

Chen Yu and the other two took the subway and rushed to the starting point of the mission — the West City Military Camp.

After swiping the student card and waiting in a living room for a long time, the officer in charge of the handover of the mission appeared.

“I am the person in charge of the West City Military Camp’s supplies department. You can call me Major Wang.”

The officer stood tall and straight with a resolute face. He glanced left and right at Chen Yu and the others and asked, “Are you all students of the Year 1 Elite Class 2 of Beijing University?”

“Yes.” Chen Yu nodded.

“Only three people? Where is the security officer?”

“The security officer of my class is injured.” Chen Yu spread his hands. “There are only three of us.”

“No security officer? Three first-year students?” Major Wang was stunned. “To do this mission?”

Duan Ye interrupted, “Don’t be surprised. The higher-ups aren’t very smart, and it hasn’t been a day or two. Just give us the supplies and hurry up. After the supplies are delivered, we still have to clear out the exotic beasts.”

“…Wait a moment, let me go check it out first.”

Major Wang saluted and turned to leave.

About five minutes later, he came back. “There’s no problem. Everyone, follow me.”

Following Major Wang’s lead, class two arrived at a drill ground.

On the left, three off-road trucks were parked in an empty space with the words ‘Class 2.’

The vehicles were covered in dark green linen, so it was impossible to see the goods they were carrying.

However, judging from the pressure on the tires, it could be guessed that they were a lot of heavy things.

“Just to transport these three vehicles?” Chen Yu circled around the military vehicles and looked at Major Wang. “What are they carrying?”

“High explosives.”

“Why are they being sent to Ye Sanpo?”

“Military secrets.” Major Wang’s expression was serious. “Considering that this may be your first time coming into contact with the mission of escorting military assets, let me remind you of some precautions. While you are escorting, please do not get into the car. You must always observe the surrounding environment and anticipate the danger ahead of time.”

“Then can I sit on the roof?” Chen Yu raised his hand.

Major Wang: “…”

“It’s a bad habit I picked up during the College Entrance Examination. It’s cool to sit on the roof.”

“…As long as you don’t sit in the vehicle. It’s up to you.”

“Then what are we waiting for?” Chen Yu leaped into the air and stood on the roof of the first truck. “Let’s start moving.”

“Wait a moment, the driver will be here soon. Oh, he’s already here.”

Chen Yu followed Major Wang’s line of sight and saw nine soldiers walking over from afar.

Six were equipped with long guns, and three were equipped with short guns.

“Chief!” The nine people walked over and saluted.

“Get in the truck!”

“Yes!”

The nine soldiers trotted into the truck.

A truck was carrying three people, a driver, and two guards.

They moved quickly and neatly.

Hum–

Soon, three off-road trucks started moving.

The explosion and burning of diesel fuel drove the engine to rotate, collide, and exert force.

“Bahuang Yao.” Standing on the roof of the truck, Chen Yu ordered, “You are in charge of running in front to warn us.”

“Okay.”

“Duan Ye, you are in charge of following behind.”

“Okay.” Duan Ye nodded. “Then what are you in charge of?”

Stretching lazily, Chen Yu lay on the roof of the carriage. “I’m in charge of ‘being in charge’…”

…

At the same time.

In Beijing University’s Teaching Department.

Gou Sheng was busily processing the documents in his hands, stamping one seal after another. The office was shaking so much that there was a ‘bang bang’ sound.

“Director Gou, I have something to report to you.”

Gou Sheng did not even raise his head. “Speak.”

“There’s news from the West City Military Camp. Class 2 of the first year has already started on their mission.”

Gou Sheng raised his head in confusion. “What the f*ck is there to report… What? Year 1 Class 2? Chen Yu and Bahuang Yao?”

“Yes.” The assistant smiled wryly. “The West City Military Camp just called.”

“They don’t even have a security officer. They’re going just like that?” Gou Sheng banged on the table and roared, “They’re really f*cking fooling around! Do they want to die?!”

“Director, what do we do now? Cancel their mission at the last minute?”

“No.” Gou Sheng put his hands on his hips in frustration. “They’re competing with me. If we cower, those two brats will f*cking fly into the sky!”

“Then… We can only transfer one intermediate level martial artist?” The assistant probed.

“Go. Tell the bodyguards to stay away from them. Don’t let them discover them. If there’s any danger, first save Bahuang Yao.”

“Yes.”

…

“If there’s any danger, don’t worry about Bahuang Yao.”

Sitting on the roof of the car, Chen Yu shouted to Duan Ye who was following behind him, “You run first. Her chest is flat and she runs extremely fast.”

“Hu… Hu…”

Duan Ye’s two legs moved quickly. “Why can you sit? Why do we have to run?”

“Because I want to command the whole situation.” Chen Yu put his hands behind his back and looked at the scenery at the back of the car. “Leader, you have to stand high and see far…”

Clang!

Just as he finished speaking, Chen Yu felt a pain at the back of his head and was knocked down on the roof of the car.

[Injured: Qi and Blood +343]

“F*ck… Hiss!”

Holding the back of his head, Chen Yu raised his head in pain and realized that there was a pole on top of his head.

“F*ck!” He was instantly furious. “Duan Ye, are you f*cking doing this on purpose? You’ve been dawdling with me. Why didn’t you tell me there was a pole in front of me?”

Duan Ye: “Aren’t you the leader? Isn’t the leader able to see far? So only you can see far…”

The convoy slowly slowed down.

It turned out that they had reached a checkpoint.

Among the soldiers stationed there, an officer walked up. “Are you alright?”

“Phew…” Rubbing his wound, he placed it under his eyes to observe. After confirming that there was no blood, Chen Yu nodded. “I’m fine.”

“No, I’m asking if the tall bar is okay, right?”

Chen Yu: “…”

“It’s dented. You have to compensate me for this.”

Chen Yu: “…”

Duan Ye: “In a trance, hahahaha…”

Chen Yu: “Ask for the one at the back.”

Duan Ye: “Haha… Huh?”

Jumping off the roof of the car, Chen Yu walked to the driver’s seat of the truck and knocked on the window. “Hey.”

The window was rolled down and the military driver saluted. “Hello!”

“It will take a while for the car to be inspected. Let’s chat.” Chen Yu leaned against the door and said, “Brother, you must have pulled in a lot of supplies during this period of time, right?”

“Yes.”

“Come, have a cigarette.”

“During the mission, we can’t smoke.”

“Don’t be polite. It’s not alcohol either. I’m in charge here. If I tell you to smoke, then do it.”

The driver hesitated for a moment before taking the cigarette.

This thing was very expensive, so he naturally coveted it.

“Come.” Chen Yu pinched out two more and handed them to the two soldiers in the front passenger seat. “You two come too.”

“Thank you.”

Taking out his lighter and taking the initiative to light the cigarettes for the three soldiers, Chen Yu exhaled softly. “There are three wagons of this batch of supplies. That’s quite a lot, right?”

“That’s not even close.” The driver spoke in Beijing dialect. “Last week, I personally participated in a large-scale convoy. There are more than 200 of these trucks. There are even express delivery companies that have been added in. The postal service is also on board.”

“Wow.” Chen Yu was surprised. “They are also transporting armaments?”

“Yes. There are also some miscellaneous items. I don’t know what they are.” The driver took a deep puff of his cigarette.

“They are all sent to the west.”

“Most of them are sent to the west, but there are also some from the south.” The driver flicked the ash off his cigarette. “I heard that they are going to have military exercises. Isn’t the Global University Tournament about to begin? They want to show off the military strength of their troops and sell some weapons and equipment.”

“It’s mainly for publicity.” In the front passenger seat, a soldier with a gun said, “Let the other scattered countries learn from US and gather their population and strength to fight against the exotic beasts.”

“Sigh, it’s already the end of the world, and they’re still engaging in politics.” The driver threw away the cigarette butt, put it in gear, and looked at Chen Yu. “Thank you. This cigarette is really powerful.”

“Mm.”

Nodding, Chen Yu retreated and jumped back onto the top of the truck that had finished its inspection. The truck swayed along with the body of the truck.

Looking ahead, his brain was working rapidly, striking the scattered clues in his mind.

“Mandatory mission…”

“Increase in population in the western part of the city…”

“Transport of military supplies…”

“Global University Tournament…”

“Political claims…”

“…”

“…Something’s not right.”

Before long, Chen Yu’s eyes flashed. “There’s a contradiction.”

Turning around and observing the heavily armed checkpoint behind him, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Without hesitation, Chen Yu immediately took out his phone and dialed Chen Siwen’s number.

Du–

“Hello? Xiao Yu?”

“Yes, it’s me.” Chen Yu’s tone was serious. “Are you at home?”

“No? I’m at the dojo. Are you coming back?”

“No, I have a mission now. I can’t tell you face-to-face. Go home now and take Mom away.”

“Go? Go where?” On the other end of the phone, Chen Siwen sounded confused.

“Pack up all your luggage and valuables and go back to Qingcheng.”

“Why… Why?”

“Listen to me,” Chen Yu emphasized. “I think there’s something wrong with Beijing. Take Mom and leave today.”

“Did you… Did you get some news from school?” Chen Siwen’s tone became serious.

“No news. I’m just a student and don’t have much information. But listen to me. Take Mom back and treat it as a vacation. I’ll tell you to come back when you’re back.”

“Then… Okay.”

“Yeah, leave today.”

“Yeah. Be careful. You really scared me.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

“I hope I’m overthinking things…”

…

The motorcade gradually moved away from the checkpoint.

The asphalt road became more and more difficult to traverse.

And the number of trees also began to increase, blocking Chen Yu’s line of sight.

Dong…

Dong dong…

After advancing for an unknown period of time, Chen Yu, who had sharp five senses, vaguely felt the ground shake.

Shua!

Following that, the ever-elusive Bahuang Yao bounced back from the front. “Brother Yu! There are exotic beasts charging over! There are several of them!”

Hearing that, Chen Yu was shocked. “How far out of the capital are we?”

“There are exotic beasts already?!”
