Chapter 67: Stirring up the Crowd (End × 2)
"Boss, buy a pack of cigarettes."
On the streets of Shanghai, Chen Yu walked up to a mobile cart vendor and handed over a dozen hundred-yuan bills: "A pack of Harbin."
"One pack is only ten yuan, you gave too much." The vendor smiled and waved his hand, only taking one of the cards: "The alien beasts are gone, the world is peaceful. There is no need for warriors anymore, and natural cigarettes do not need to be limited. Banned.”
"Oh." Chen Yu nodded and took the cigarettes and change: "The price has dropped, so that's good."
After putting away the cash, he turned around and leaned against the stall. While unpacking cigarettes, he looked at the crowds of people coming and going in front of him, silently.
Now, it's 1999.
Half a year has passed since the final beast wave ended.
Half a year ago, the civilized coalition in the Magic City successfully defeated all the alien beasts and won the "impossible" victory.
At this point, the world has completely restored peace.
Human beings have achieved the stable life they dreamed of.
but……
Taking a deep breath of cigarette, Chen Yu lowered his head and looked at his calloused palms with twinkling eyes.
When the strange beasts are gone, there is peace.
And when there is peace, there is naturally no need for warriors.
In the six months since the beast tide finally ended, in order to maintain social stability and restore the rights and interests of ordinary people. After a series of meetings and studies, the Human Republic unanimously decided to "destroy" Jinqi and cancel the "warrior" profession.
All warriors must take the initiative to go to the government-designated department to "sabotage their merits."
From the president of the Martial Arts Association to the ordinary level 1 martial artist, all are implemented without exception.
All actions and statements of resistance, refusal, and protest are illegal.
And delete all "warrior" related information, entries, events, history on the Internet... and no longer talk about it. All citizens' signatures and pledges will take effect immediately.
Therefore, this decision that swept through the social transformation of all mankind is also called the 1999 Non-Disclosure Agreement...
"so……"
Youyou took out a puff of cigarette,
Chen Yu turned around, smiled at the stall owner, and then immediately took out his mobile phone and called the police: "Hello? Hello, there is a cigarette seller here who is talking about warriors in public."
The stall owner looked up in shock: "???"
five minutes later.
Two police cars roared up, and four policemen stepped out in an instant.
Two of them were able to test the stall owner quickly, and the other two walked up to Chen Yu and said seriously: "Sir, it was you who called the police? Right?"
"Yes." Chen Yu nodded.
"Okay, then please show me your ID card."
With a cigarette in his mouth, Chen Yu turned his hands up and down, found an ID card in the inner pocket of his leather jacket, and handed it to the other party.
The policeman took it, scanned it with a rectangular shooting instrument, and frowned: "Mr. Chen, are you still a warrior?"
"Ah...right."
"The deadline is about three months away, so you must destroy your merits as soon as possible."
"……OK."
Taking the ID card, Chen Yu looked at the two police cars disappearing at the end of the road and sighed tiredly.
The strange beast has disappeared.
According to the official statement, in order to maintain the safety of ordinary people and social stability, the existence of warriors is indeed no longer needed.
But Chen Yu was still unwilling.
The strength that belongs to oneself and has been cultivated through hard work is shattered in one fell swoop...
He couldn't accept it.
"Can not accept……"
After spitting out the half-remaining cigarette butt, Chen Yu stamped it out: "Then you have to accept it..."
Humans are social animals.
Unless he can make up his mind to take his family away from the city and be prepared to be hunted down by the authorities. Otherwise, you can only accept the fact that you are reduced to an ordinary person.
This is the “major trend” officially promoted.
Force is rude, barbaric and unpopular.
Wisdom and civilization should be the best way to determine life and life...
"...It's pretty good. At least the price of cigarettes has come down."
Suppressing the irritability in his heart, Chen Yu pretended to be relaxed, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly forward...
…
"Brother Yu, let's break up."
half year later.
Magic City, the corner under the overpass.
Chen Yu was sitting on a big rock with disheveled hair and tattered clothes.
Opposite him was Bahuang Yao with red eyes: "Don't come to me again in the future."
"Why?" Chen Yu asked.
"You... are not worthy of me." The girl bit the tip of her tongue and turned to look outside the bridge, not daring to look into Chen Yu's eyes.
Chen Yu: "..."
"Brother Yu, look at you now..." Bahuang Yao took a deep breath and held back the tears that were about to overflow his eyes: "What is the difference between you and a beggar now?"
"It makes no difference." Chen Yu scratched his head and picked up the broken bowl on the ground: "I am a beggar now."
Bahuang Yao: "..."
"Although I don't know how I can be like this." Chen Yu sighed: "But I do make a living by begging."
Bahuang Yao: "Without force, you can accomplish nothing."
Hearing this, Chen Yu sighed: "But should I say it or not, I am quite talented at begging. I have both arms and legs, and I can also beg for money."
"Brother Yu. Let's... let's do this." The girl turned around and walked away with her brand-name bag: "You have no house, no car, no job, no betrothal gift. My family does not agree with me marrying you. In the future... don't Contact me again.”
Chen Yu: "...Isn't this nonsense?"
Watching the girl's retreating figure, he felt something was getting more and more wrong.
Think of him, Chen Yu, who looks like Pan An and is extremely intelligent... Even without force, under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be difficult to become an upper-middle class member of society, right?
"But why..."
Lowering his head, he glanced at his crotch, puzzled.
"Even if I am a duck, I can still dominate the industry..."
"What the hell is a beggar?"
at the same time.
Outside the overpass.
Bahuang Yao burst into tears immediately after leaving the bottom of the bridge, and choked with sobs to the man in the suit in front of him: "Are you satisfied? We have broken up now."
"Satisfied! Of course I am satisfied!" The man in the suit turned sideways happily, opened the passenger door of the sports car, and bowed slightly: "My cutest baby, get in the car."
"...No need. I'll take a taxi back." Wiping the tears on her face with her sleeves, the girl turned around and left.
"Stop." The man in the suit's smile slowly disappeared and said calmly: "Don't forget. Even if you break up, that beggar's life is now in my hands. No one in this world is a fool."
Bahuang Yao: "..."
"boarding!"
The man in the suit shouted violently, and the girl was so frightened that she trembled, bit her lip, and lowered her head deeply.
"Be good." Seeing that the other party had accepted his fate, the man in the suit immediately returned to his gentle face and smiled again: "Baby, I have always been thinking about you. That Chen Yu, no matter how good he was before the war, he was even the champion of the global college competition So what? In today's peaceful era and a society ruled by law, wouldn't he be reduced to a waste begging for food after all? He is not worthy of you..."
Under the bridge.
Chen Yu, whose hearing was far beyond that of normal humans, had no expression on his face and stood up slowly while holding on to the wall.
"Some people still remember me as the champion of the so-and-so competition."
"..."
Chen Yu licked his lips and walked out of the bridge step by step: "But why no one remembers it? Even if I have no energy, I am still a warrior..."
…
Two years later.
Deep in the Daxinganling Mountains.
Amid the bursts of artillery fire, Chen Yu hugged the woman in his arms tightly and buried her deep in the snow.
"Yu...Brother Yu...surrender..." Bahuang Yao was so angry that he stretched out his bloody hand and touched Chen Yu's face: "Outside...they are all police."
"impossible."
Chen Yu looked cold: "Blood debt must be paid with blood."
"You...can't beat...the country..."
"Then at least we must die together." Holding the woman's hand, Chen Yu's eyes were cold: "I have found a way to restore the Qi Sea. When my strength recovers, that will be the day this country is destroyed!"
"...Yu...Brother Yu..." Bahuang Yao's chest rose and fell more slowly.
Eventually, it stopped altogether.
Feeling the increasingly cold skin in his hands, Chen Yu's eyes quickly became bloodshot.
Anger, despair, pain, resentment... intertwined, spread, and swelled in my chest...
That is hatred that cannot be described in any language or words...
In Chen Yu's mind, at this moment, there is only one thought...
That is to let mankind perish.
A civilization that is inferior, twisted, insidious, and ugly does not need to exist.
Only annihilation is the destination of "them"...
"hiss--"
"Hiss-"
Blood-red eyes bring blood-red vision.
Along with the sound of shredding clothes, Chen Yu suddenly found that he had become taller.
He expands, expands, expands again...
Beyond the trees.
Beyond the snowy mountains.
Even beyond the clouds…
Looking down in confusion, he suddenly realized that Chen Yu... had turned into a behemoth that was over a thousand meters tall.
"I……"
"Turned into a strange beast..."
"It's still a level 9... alien beast..."
Amid the anger that filled his chest, there was a vague sense of vindictive pleasure. He stood up with heavy movements, looked at the slightly curved horizon under the thin clouds, looked up to the sky and roared: "Roar——"
Humanity has no warriors left.
And his level 9 alien beast born "out of thin air" is the most appropriate execution for this stupid civilization...
…
"Hoo...ho...vomit..."
[Alienation in progress: Beast form -2]
[Under alienation: Beast form -3; Beast form -2...]
With the sudden explosion of vision in front of his eyes, Chen Yu fell to the ground, frantically vomiting the animal meat he had just eaten.
In my ears, deafening electronic synthesized sounds continued to echo.
"Sir!" bb panicked and quickly helped Chen Yu up: "You...what's wrong with you?"
"I see……"
After vomiting out the last piece of meat, Chen Yu covered his painful head and backed away slowly: "I see..."
"Wha...why is that so?" bb was nervous.
"No need to hold me up." Blocking BB's hand, Chen Yu half-knelt on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Master Chen Yu. Are you... okay?" bb looked worried.
"Okay. Great."
Wiping the dirt from the corner of his mouth, Chen Yu slowly stood up: "It has never been so good."
After taking a breath, he recalled the feeling of hatred that almost hurt his bones, closed his eyes, and stretched out his arms.
next moment.
Thousands of meters away in front of the two of them, the tens of millions of beasts running wildly stopped in an instant...
A pair of red beast eyes looked at the "insignificant" Chen Yu in the distance.
And Chen Yu also opened the same blood-red eyes and looked at them...
…
