Chapter 138: Fair Association (2)
“You said that you are a passenger in the convoy?”
On the wilderness, the leader of the group, a martial artist of Level 6, stood on the roof of the convoy. He looked coldly at Chen Yu and shouted from afar.
“Yes.” Chen Yu nodded and shouted, “I got on the convoy in Qingcheng City.”
“Qingcheng City…” The martial artist of Level 6 touched his beard and turned to ask his subordinates, “Have any of you seen him?”
The warriors in the convoy shook their heads.
“No.”
“I haven’t seen him either.”
“No…”
“The driver and the crew are dead, and we’re not in charge of this area. If he really is a passenger, it’s normal that we don’t know him.”
“But the passengers in both carriages were taken away. How can a Level 1 warrior like him escape?”
“Captain, don’t let him get close. You were right to suspect that he has a bomb…”
Listening to the opinions of his subordinates, the bearded man was silent for a while before looking at Chen Yu again. “You should also know that we were attacked by the Fair Association in the early hours of the morning. The passengers were all taken away. You said you were a passenger, show us the evidence.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu took out his ID card and ticket from his pocket and showed them to the crowd. “It’s a bit far. Can you see it? This is my ID card and ticket.”
The bearded man took the binoculars and looked at them for a while. Then, he said in a strange tone, “You are… Scholar Chen Yu?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good. I’ve seen Chen Yu before. Take off your mask.”
As he said that, he raised his left hand.
His subordinates immediately understood and took aim with their sniper rifles. They waited for their captain to expose the other party before pulling the trigger.
In the distance, Chen Yu pinched his mask and shouted, “My current appearance is a little different from the one in the photo. Take a good look and don’t do anything.”
“Take it off quickly. Otherwise, I’ll do it right now.”
With full concentration, Chen Yu controlled the motherboard behind him to prepare to ‘teleport’ at any time. Then, he slowly took off his mask.
The bearded man: “…”
All the warriors in the convoy: “…”
Chen Yu: “…”
“You…” The bearded man adjusted the focus of the binoculars. “Your face… isn’t very white.”
[Psychological damage received: Spirit +4]
Chen Yu: “…”
“But don’t tell me… Hmm… You do look a little like Chen Yu.”
Chen Yu: “…I am Chen Yu.”
“It’s only been a few days since we last saw each other. Why are you so dark? Did you play a mobile game lottery?”
[Spirit +6]
Chen Yu: “…”
Bang! Bang!
Putting down the binoculars, the bearded man patted the roof of the SUV. “It’s Chen Yu, that’s right. Go up and take a look. Everyone else, stand by.”
The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the SUV jolted to a stop in front of Chen Yu.
Plop.
The bearded man jumped down with his two teammates and circled around Chen Yu. He clicked his tongue. “Did someone fart on your face?”
Chen Yu said, “Why am I so familiar with those words?”
“How did you do it?”
“I don’t know either.” Chen Yu took back his identification card and said nonsense without raising his head, “It was those robbers who injected me with some deactivator, and my body turned black.”
“Oh?” The bearded man was stunned. “Was it a special reaction?”
“I don’t know.”
“How did you escape?”
“Wasn’t it dark at that time…” Chen Yu pointed at his dark face. “I took off all my clothes and walked away. No one stopped me.”
Everyone: “…”
The bearded man was silent for a moment before he nodded. “Ah, it’s very reasonable.”
“Captain…” The subordinate on his left held back a mouthful of ridicule, but he did not know how to spit it out. “How… How is this reasonable?”
“Anyway, the young man escaped. It’s good that he escaped.” The bearded man patted Chen Yu’s shoulder. “It’s fortunate that it’s daybreak now. Otherwise, we would have shot you the moment you took off your mask.”
“Let’s cut the small talk. My classmate is still locked up and the situation is very critical. If we were a second late, one person might have died.” Chen Yu put on his mask again and said in a grave tone, “There’s no time to waste.”
The bearded man said, “Sharpening a knife doesn’t delay chopping wood. Let’s use the Kunte card.”
Chen Yu said, “…Then you’re definitely not a match for him!”
…
In the desolate plains, dozens of figures were running at high speed.
The one leading the way was a Level 6 martial artist — the bearded man.
As he ran, he would occasionally turn his head to check on Chen Yu’s situation.
Because in the entire team, only Chen Yu’s strength was the weakest. Everyone was deliberately slowing down.
When he saw everyone slowing down, Chen Yu thought that someone in the team was out of stamina, so he could not help but slow down.
Hence, the entire team became slower and slower, slower and slower…
Finally, they began to walk.
After walking for about ten minutes.
The bearded man could no longer hold it in and said, “This is too slow.”
Chen Yu nodded in agreement. “Yeah, it’s too slow.”
“Can you increase the speed a little?”
“I also want to say it, but I’m too embarrassed to say it.”
The bearded man: “…”
Chen Yu: “Look, you’re slowing down again. If it really doesn’t work, let’s climb over it.”
Everyone: “…”
He simply stopped in his tracks and said to the bearded man, “Why don’t we pick some of the faster ones to go first? There’s no need to wait for the slower ones. I’m afraid that the other one won’t be able to hold on.”
All the martial artists looked at each other.
One of them said, “If it really doesn’t work, we can carry you.”
Chen Yu shook his head. “It affects our speed. Moreover, the long-term explosive force of a runner will cause harm to the person they carry.”
“Then if we stay…” Another martial artist said to Chen Yu, “Won’t you be in danger? There are many strange beasts here.”
Chen Yu shook his head. “If you run fast and run slowly, you will still encounter strange beasts. Those who run fast usually have higher strength. The ones who are in danger are the ones following behind.”
The martial artist said, “That’s right, that’s what I meant.”
Chen Yu said, “That’s right, that’s what I meant too.”
“…” The martial artist was confused.
“…” Chen Yu was also confused.
Only the bearded man looked deeply at Chen Yu. “You are a good scholar. Don’t worry, we will definitely save your classmates and teacher. Are you sure it’s in this straight line?”
Chen Yu nodded. “Yes.”
“Okay.” The bearded man exploded with energy. “Everyone, move forward!”
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Large clouds of dust rose up. Everyone burst out with extremely fast speed and rushed forward.
“I’m so touched.”
A martial artist rushed out of the dust in front of everyone. One of the martial artists sighed. “In order to save his companion, he would rather be left behind.”
“Yeah. I used to hate that burden. Now look, why is he the top scorer? This kind of sacrifice is amazing.”
“Let’s finish this quickly. Don’t let the top scorer be exposed in the wild for too long.”
“Right. Brothers, speed up the train!”
“Yes!”
Boom… Boom…
The team’s speed increased again, raising dust and sand in the empty plains.
At this time, Chen Yu, who was running in front, turned his head and asked, “Were you… talking about me just now?”
Plop, plop, plop…
One martial artist after another fell down.
The entire team stopped again.
The martial artists were either squatting, standing, or lying down, staring at Chen Yu in a daze…
Chen Yu: “???”
