Chapter 325: Revival of Bahuang Yao (4)
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Another heavy snowfall dyed the night sky of the north white.
Standing at the gate of Qingcheng and looking at the night scene with the flashing neon lights in the city, Chen Yu did not feel a trace of strangeness.
Ever since he lost his way on the sea and ran from Shanghai to Australia, he found that he had run off course. After that, he ran from Australia back to Qingcheng, which was inland. After all, it had only been three days.
Even if he added in the one week he spent in the northeast, it would still be less than half a month.
However, this city was completely different from when he first left.
Lanterns were hung again on the streets.
Guards were once again standing by the city walls.
Even the snow on the asphalt road had been swept clean.
What was even more amazing was that the faces of the pedestrians were filled with smiles that they had not seen for a long time.
That kind of relaxed, joyful, and satisfied…
Chen Yu could clearly feel it even though he was a few hundred meters away.
“This…”
“Is it still Qingcheng?”
“It can’t be that it went astray again…”
While thinking, Chen Yu wrapped himself in a black windbreaker and walked straight to the city gate.
“Sir, please wait.”
When he approached, a policeman beside the warrior guard reached out his hand and stopped him. “Please show me your identity card.”
“Um…”Chen Yu licked his lips and tiptoed to look around the city. He asked, “Comrade, let me ask you something.”
“Go ahead.” The police officer held his hat.
“Is this Qingcheng?”
“Um.” The police officer was stunned. He subconsciously looked up at the plaque on the city gate. “Isn’t that written? Qingcheng. Where do you want to go?”
“Oh… I’m going back to Qingcheng.”
“ID card.”
“Okay.” Chen Yu pulled open his backpack and took out his ID card. “Here.”
The police officer took it and carefully observed it under the light for a long time. He was puzzled. “So you’re a native of Qingcheng. How come you don’t recognize your own home?”
“Yeah.” Chen Yu was shy. “Young Li, Big Brother is back.”
“You…”
Chen Yu’s strange behavior made the police officer wary. He continued to check Chen Yu’s ID card.
But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Chen Yu was familiar.
Not long after, he suddenly slapped his forehead and pointed at Chen Yu in surprise. “You! Chen Yu!”
“Ah… I’m Chen Yu.”
“You’re Qingcheng’s top scorer this year?!”
“Oh.” Chen Yu flicked his long hair. “It’s just me, nothing to be proud of.”
“Hello, hello.” The police officer rubbed his hands excitedly, and then warmly held Chen Yu, shaking him. “You’re the pride of Qingcheng. A few months ago in the Global University Tournament, you also won the championship! You really brought glory to Qingcheng.”
“Of course.”
“Here you are.” The police officer let go of his hand and respectfully handed over his ID card with both hands. “Student Chen Yu, you should have just returned from the Shanghai battlefield, right? Thank you for your hard work.”
“The Shanghai battlefield…” Chen Yu took the ID card and scratched his ears. “You can say that too.”
Swoosh!
Behind the police officer, a few martial artist guards heard this and stood at attention, saluting Chen Yu seriously.
“Well, you’re too polite. I’ll go home first, then we’ll talk later.”
“Student Chen Yu, I can get a car to send you back.”
“No need, no need.”
Waving his hand, Chen Yu walked into the city gate under their admiring gazes.
Strolling along the way, he passed through people’s square, observing as he walked. He discovered that the shops on both sides of the street, the roadside stalls along the street, and even the strolling crowd… all appeared once again.
“…”
Chen Yu stopped and pondered.
The last time he saw such a lively scene was before the destruction of the capital city…
After a while, Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the big screen in the center of the square.
On the screen, the speech of the Principal of Beijing University was being replayed.
[We humans have won.]
[But this is not a great moment.]
[We should have had such a victory long ago…]
[…]
[We have proved ourselves.]
[Proved that humans can also ‘easily’ defeat the Beast Tide! Even two Level 9 beasts can be eliminated together…]
[…]
[If we win, the world will be at peace.]
[If we win, there will be a blue sky!]
Looking at the Principal who was giving an impassioned speech on the screen, Chen Yu raised his eyebrows frivolously and stopped together with the excited crowd around him. He watched the replay from beginning to end.
At the same time, according to the discussions of the people around him, he learned about a series of things that had happened to society after he left the battlefield.
First of all, after the [Hatred of the World] curse effect ended, the Level 9 crocodile couldn’t find Chen Yu to take revenge. It went crazy and began to charge toward the shore to vent its anger on others.
However, because the Level 9 exotic beast was seriously injured and didn’t have any other exotic beasts to help it, it couldn’t defeat the Level 9 Japanese martial artist, Mikami Youya.
In the end, it was exhausted and killed by Mikami Youya on the coastline of Shanghai.
The death of a Level 9 exotic beast meant that the crisis in Shanghai had been resolved. It also meant that mankind had officially defeated the Beast Tide!
After the news of victory was spread, the whole world was excited!
The society that was gradually ‘dying’ had regained its vitality.
For all mankind, this was no longer a shot in the arm, but a brand-new heart!
For a moment, all the contradictions in society disappeared in an instant.
All that was left was the desire to ‘survive.’
Thus, without waiting for the Great Principal of Beijing University to give an epic speech the next day, the people of many cities in the country formed groups and rushed to Shanghai.
When the Great Principal of Beijing University proposed the great strategy of ‘uniting the entire human race’ the next day, the followers were like smoke in the clouds.
The price of the most ordinary second-class seat on a bullet train soared to over 10,000 yuan!
Cities from all over the world were also actively interacting with the Shanghai authorities, seeking ways to merge with them.
As for Jian Guo, it had a large business, many people, and many things. It was too far away from Shanghai, so it chose to imitate Shanghai’s model and build a super city of its own.
Just like that.
A ‘simple’ victory had completely changed the shape and consciousness of the entire human race!
One after another, they changed from ‘decentralized politics’ to ‘collective politics.’
They embarked on a path that they had never imagined.
Even the only Level 9 human fighter, Mikami Youya, announced that the entire country would join Shanghai and jointly build this human sanctuary…
“The times have changed too quickly.”
Smacking his lips, Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the large poster hanging by the roadside.
In the poster, it was the scene of Mikami Youya killing a Level 9 crocodile.
Below the poster, there were a few citizens of Qingcheng kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and offering incense.
Killing a Level 9 exotic beast!
‘Annihilating’ the demonic Beast Tide!
Mikami Youya had already become a well-deserved idol of the entire world.
If one were to say that the warriors of Shanghai who participated in the Beast Tide war were called heroes.
Then Mikami Youya, who had suppressed a Level 9 exotic beast with her bare hands, had been pushed to the position of ‘god’ by the people.
To resist two Level 9 exotic beasts with her ‘single hand’ and save millions of people in Shanghai… This achievement was definitely the most significant in the history of mankind.
Even the status of more than 100 million Japanese people in the world had skyrocketed!
On the Internet, there were fewer posts that attacked Japanese people or things.
Whoever dared to criticize Japanese people would be reported to death by netizens from all over the world in the next second…
Therefore, Japanese people were very proud of themselves.
They recognized Mikami Youya as the will of all mankind.
The pride of a country!
The center of a country!
Mikami Youya was well-deserved…
In front of the square.
Looking at the ‘valkyrie’ in the poster, Chen Yu was tired. He picked up his backpack, patted the dust off his body, and walked away quietly.
After leaving people’s square, he didn’t choose to go home immediately. Instead, he found a 24-hour mobile phone shop and handed his phone to the repairman.
“Huh?” The repairman who was watching the replay of Shanghai’s speech raised his head, frowned, and said impatiently, “What?”
“The phone is flooded. Can you fix it?”
“Flooded?” The repairman pressed the space pause button and took the phone. He looked around and asked, “Flooded with what?”
“Seawater.”
“Seawater. Seawater is not easy to fix. 100 yuan. If the motherboard is broken, you can change the phone directly.”
“Okay.” Chen Yu nodded. He took out a hundred yuan bill and threw it on the counter.
After taking the bill and putting it into his pocket, the repairman took out a piece of cloth, wiped the surface of the phone, and pressed the play button again. While watching the video, he found a charging cable and plugged it into the interface of the phone.
The phone immediately lit up.
“Here.” After charging for a while, the repairman casually unplugged the charging cable and handed the phone over. “It’s fixed.”
Chen Yu: “…”
The repairman looked up and asked, “Is there anything else?”
“You didn’t fix it either. You just charged it.”
“That’s right. Just charging it will do.”
“Didn’t you say that it was flooded?”
“You said that it was flooded. I didn’t say that.” The repairman spread his hands. “I said that it would cost 100 yuan to fix it.”
“You call charging it fixed?” Chen Yu was furious.
“Look at what you’re saying.” The repairman placed his hands on his waist. “Isn’t dying a death?”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Is eating a meal a death?”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Isn’t whoring a death called whoring?”
Chen Yu: “…”
“Then how come charging a battery isn’t called a fix?” The repairman spread his hands.
Chen Yu: “Then is it a death call if I give you a punch?”
The repairman: “…”
After a moment of silence, the repairman silently returned 100 yuan. “Be careful of the threshold.”
“Thank you, goodbye.”
“Yes, yes…”
Walking out of the phone shop.
Chen Yu found an empty corner, squatted on the curb, and pressed the power button to turn on the phone.
Ding, ding, ding, ding…
The moment the phone was turned on, rows of message notifications followed one after another.
After unlocking it, Chen Yu scanned through it from top to bottom.
Chen Siwen sent the most messages.
Followed by Ma Li.
There was another message from Beijing University.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Chen Yu opened the text message from Beijing University.
The content was as follows:
[Student Chen Yu.]
[Due to your repeated misdeeds, disobeying the school’s management, skipping classes, and not participating in the Beast Tide battle in Shanghai, the school has specially given you demerit points.]
[You are also required to return to school within three months.]
[Beijing University — Education Office announcement.]
Chen Yu: “…”
“WDNMD.”
Chen Yu cursed and deleted the text message.
He was the one who saved Shanghai. It was still okay if he did not participate in the battle of the Beast Tide…
“There are no morals.”
“There are a lot of people fighting for merit.” Standing up, Chen Yu glanced at Mikami Youya poster hanging by the side of the road and walked home without looking back.
However, halfway home, he slapped his forehead and turned around, heading to the villa area where Ma Li was.
He suddenly thought that if he went home now and his sister and mother surrounded him, at least he wouldn’t be able to leave the house until tomorrow.
He might as well resurrect Bahuang Yao first and then go home together.
As long as his family asked, he would say that he had gone to look for a wife.
The reason was perfect…
Perhaps it was because his good friend was about to be resurrected. Under the night sky, Chen Yu strolled along the streets, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort.
Unknowingly, the darkness in front of him had already subsided quite a bit.
After helping Shanghai defeat the Beast Tide, humanity had rekindled hope.
With the arrival of a Level 9 martial artists, as well as martial artists and civilians from all over the world, the strength of Shanghai had greatly increased!
Presumably, it would not be long before it would surpass the size of the former ‘capital city’.
More importantly, Chen Yu found a shortcut to save the world!
Once Shanghai suffered another Beast Tide, he could ‘push’ three alien realms, bind the curse of the [Hatred of the World], and continue to save Shanghai.
And after avoiding the danger of being wiped out, Shanghai would undoubtedly have more time to develop.
Chen Yu could also relax and find a suitable alien realm to increase his strength.
If one day, his strength reached Level 8 or even Level 9, there would be no need for him to wander around aimlessly.
At that time, he was confident that he could crush the Beast Tide by himself!
“Ah…”
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu felt even more comfortable in his heart.
He could not help but raise his head and look at the moonlight in the night sky.
“It’s almost New Year.”
“The winter is almost over…”
…
Ten minutes later.
Chen Yu leisurely arrived at the wealthy district of Qingcheng.
Standing in front of the villa of Ma Li’s family, he reached out and pressed the doorbell.
Ding dong.
“…”
“…”
Creak —
The window on the second floor of the villa was pushed open, and Ma Yan popped her head out. “Who is it?”
Chen Yu raised his hand. “Your father.”
“Wow, are you my father who died twenty years ago?” Ma Yan was pleasantly surprised.
Chen Yu: “…”
“Chen Yu?” The door opened and Ma Li walked out. She covered her mouth in shock. “You… When did you come back?”
“I just came back.”
“I thought something happened to you in Shanghai. I couldn’t get through to your phone.”
“Yeah, my phone was out of battery.”
Waiting for Ma Li to open the door, Chen Yu walked into the courtyard and went straight to the point. “Let’s talk more when we have time. I have something to do now.”
“Do what?”
“Go to the garage.” Chen Yu looked at the basement and asked, “Have you finished preparing the props I asked you to prepare in the northeast?”
“It’s all here. I brought them back.” Ma Li was puzzled. “But those are just some ordinary tools. They are available in every city. Why did you ask us to go to Changling City to collect them?”
“Because I was preparing to resurrect in Changling City at that time.”
“Resurrect?” Ma Li was stunned. Then, her lively mind immediately connected to Bahuang Yao. “You… You want to resurrect Bahuang Yao?”
“Shh!”
Chen Yu lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious. “Have you heard the story of Snow White and the Frog Prince?”
Hearing this, Mary looked at the basement and hesitated. “Do… Do you need me to heat her up?”
Chen Yu: “???”
…
He entered the garage alone and locked the door.
Chen Yu looked around at the familiar scene before him and took a deep breath before walking towards the freezer.
Creak creak —
He pulled open the slightly rusty metal door and jumped into the car. With a glance, he saw the exquisite and cute face inside the freezer.
White ears.
Red hair.
Pale face.
Slender neck.
Sunken chest…
“Oh.”
Seeing this, Chen Yu lost the thought of continuing to watch.
“Here.”
“Have you slept enough?”
“It’s time to wake up and exercise….”
