“What are you looking at? If there weren’t any vehicles nearby, I wouldn’t have taken your bus even if I didn’t want the ticket.”

“Bullsh*t! If it weren’t for the company’s rules that can’t be violated, I would have kicked you out no matter how much money you gave me.”

“It’s clearly the fleet’s problem, how can you still blame it on me?”

“I run 800 times a year. As long as you get on the bus, something bad will happen. Who do you think I should blame?”

In the snow-covered wilderness, the Zhongtong Express Delivery fleet was sailing.

In the lead SUV, Chen Yu and the bearded man were arguing.

“You are unreasonable.” Chen Yu stretched out his hand and patted the driver’s shoulder. “Brother, how do you go about filing a complaint?”

“Oh, I’m filing a complaint..” The driver turned around and said, “Please call 045…”

Pa!

The bearded man slapped the driver back and said, “You idiot, are you really going to say it?”

“Oh oh!” The driver came back to his senses and said, “No, we can’t make a complaint.”

Chen Yu said, “Are you kidding me?”

“Arguing isn’t a solution either. Why don’t we discuss it?” The bearded man lowered his voice and said, “How about this? For each ticket, I’ll give you an extra 5,000 yuan. You can take the ride next door. How about that?”

“When does the ride leave?” Chen Yu asked.

“The day after tomorrow at most.”

“No. There’s no time.”

“Are you f*cking eyeing me? So my bus is the only one that can make it?” The bearded man clenched his fists in anger.

“Oh, oh, oh –“

The husky in his hand was instantly pinched in pain and howled miserably.

“Ah, I’m sorry, baby.” The bearded man quickly let go and gently stroked the dog’s head. “Did I pinch you?”

Chen Yu: “…You really have a dog?”

“Of course. I need a companion.” The bearded man glanced at Chen Yu. “Men and women are not good people. I can only raise animals.”

“There are so many dogs that you don’t choose. Are you too stubborn to choose a husky?”

As he said this, the husky and the bearded man turned to look at Chen Yu with the same gaze.

Chen Yu: “…”

The bearded man: “Why? Do you have a problem with my dog?”

The husky: “Meow?”

Chen Yu: “…I wouldn’t dare.”

“My dog and I are like old friends at first sight. He’s just like my son,” the bearded man said seriously. “Please don’t talk about my son.”

The husky: “Dad!”

“Good boy.” The bearded man intimately rubbed his face against the husky’s.

Chen Yu: “…”

Sitting in the back seat of the SUV, Chen Yu felt like he couldn’t spit out the myriad of complaints in his heart.

“What’s wrong?” The bearded man turned around with an unfriendly expression. “What’s with that look?”

“Don’t you think your dog is abnormal?”

“What’s abnormal about it?”

“It already knows several languages!”

The bearded man looked at the Husky and then at Chen Yu. “What’s wrong with that? It proves that my son is smart. I’ve been quite busy recently and don’t have time. I also don’t like to go south. If the capital was still around, I would have sent it to school a long time ago.”

Chen Yu: “…Alright. As long as you’re happy.”

He didn’t want to say anything to this man anymore.

As long as this trip went smoothly, he would be satisfied.

He plucked a few strands of dog fur and threw them out of the window. The bearded man’s expression returned to his serious expression and he said, “Kid, you’re going to Bingcheng City?”

“Yes.”

“It’s extremely chaotic in the northeast now. Are you looking for death there?”

“Then why are you going to the northeast?” Chen Yu asked. “You are an elite member of Zhongtong. Don’t you have the final say on where you want to go?”

“F*ck.”The bearded man was angry again. “I get angry whenever you mention this! I ran to the northeast just to avoid you!”

Chen Yu: “…”

“Beijing University rebuilt their school in Shanghai, and the south is more stable. Everyone ran to the south. In order not to run into you, I specially applied for the northeast route. In the end, I didn’t f*cking avoid it!”

Hearing this, Chen Yu wanted to laugh.

But he didn’t laugh out loud.

“How about I unload it to the entrance city in front of you guys.” The bearded man said, “You guys are a group of Level 2 martial artists. If you head north, you’ll be courting death.”

“Thank you for your concern. There’s no need.”

Seeing that Chen Yu was determined to head north, the bearded man didn’t say anything else. He closed his eyes and rested his back on his seat.

On the vast, white road.

It stretched as far as the eye could see.

There wasn’t a single beast on either side of the road.

The convoy sped up smoothly. It wasn’t even noon, and they had already passed through the entrance city, heading straight for the border of the northeast.

“Boss, your luck is pretty good today, huh? You’ve run so far,” said the driver.

The bearded man opened his eyes slightly. “There’s a big boss ahead.”

“What?” The driver was puzzled. “What big boss?”

“There’s a big boss leading the way up ahead.”

The bearded man put his arm out of the car window and looked around. “There are shallow tracks on the road. Judging from the tracks, they should have been left yesterday. The exotic beasts along the way were all killed by them.”

“Then… Then why didn’t I see many corpses of exotic beasts?”

“Maybe there weren’t even corpses left behind.”

“Hiss…” The driver sucked in a breath of cold air. “So strong.”

“Kid.” The bearded man turned around. “Do you know who the people in front are?”

“If I’m not wrong, they should be government officials from Shanghai,” Chen Yu said.

“It’s not far from the truth.” The bearded man gave Chen Yu a thumbs up. “Looks like you know a lot of insider information. If this batch of people went over, they would definitely start fighting. When the time comes, nuclear bombs and Wood Powder will fly everywhere. With your small body, can you survive for a day?”

Chen Yu did not reply.

He had to go to the northeast no matter what.

That was because this was the most effective way to revive Bahuang Yao.

After entering the Changling Alien Realm, with the reversal of the World Curse, he could easily enter the depths of the alien realm and collect precious juices.

After collecting enough, he could return to Qingcheng and soak in the juice.

If an ordinary person soaked in it, they would recover from the state of wood.

If he soaked in it, he would turn into wood.

After Bahuang Yao revived, he could use the Wood Powder to ‘remove’ the state of wood conversion…

Simple, easy, and fast.

It was much easier than going to Shanghai and learning from Bahuang Yi.

Firstly, he didn’t know where Bahuang Yi was hiding.

Secondly, those people from the Bahuang family weren’t easy to deal with.

His current strength was still a little low.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu said, “Brother, can we go faster? Don’t be left too far behind.”

“What are you doing?” The bearded man looked Chen Yu up and down.

“Following behind the government convoy. It’s safe.”

Although Chen Yu explained it this way, he did not think that way at all.

He was afraid that the official and Fair Association would be over and they would not reach their destination yet…

Once the officials successfully recovered the Changling Alien Realm and sealed it off. It would not be easy for him to go in and fish.

“That makes sense.” The bearded man thought for a moment, then nodded and picked up the walkie-talkie. “Everyone, speed up.”

Then, he looked at the driver. “We can go faster. This is a rare opportunity. The sooner we get to Bingcheng City, the better.”

“Okay.”

Buzz —

The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

In the apocalypse, there were almost no ‘miscellaneous’ vehicles outside the city. It was the most coveted racing paradise for many drivers.

“This performance is amazing.”

Feeling the increasingly stronger push-back feeling, Chen Yu was surprised. “It can accelerate so much at high speed?”

“Do you think it’s an ordinary private vehicle?” The bearded man curled his lips. “Speed is the key to escaping. Our cars can actually go faster.”

“The ejector?”

“Yes. The rear of every car has a propulsion device.”

“Awesome.” Chen Yu was envious. “Can I buy this car?”

“You can too, as long as you have money. Oh right…” The bearded man seemed to remember something and asked, “Let me ask you something.”

“Say it.”

“A month ago, on the trip back to Qingcheng from Tang City, the Fair Association used Wood Conversion Powder. Why didn’t you turn into wood?”

“Oh. About that.” Chen Yu remained calm. “Well… Why do you say Wood Conversion Powder one moment and Wood Powder the other?”

“It’s just a different name. They’re all the same. Don’t change the subject. Let me ask you, why didn’t you turn into wood at that time?”

“I was in the van to check the condition of the body. The van was isolated from the outside world and no powder came in. I was lucky enough to escape.”

“Is that so?” The bearded man narrowed his eyes.

“Yes.”

“Kid…” The bearded man knocked on the dashboard of the SUV. “Every car has a surveillance camera. Are you sure you entered the van at that time?”

“…”

Hearing that, Chen Yu’s muscles tensed up.

In the driver’s seat, the driver’s accelerator subconsciously loosened by half an inch.

“Brother.” Chen Yu’s voice was hoarse. “What do you mean?”

“Nothing much. I’m just a little curious.” The bearded man took out two cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Chen Yu. “If you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to say it.”

Chen Yu took it and stuffed it into his mouth. “What if I say that I’m used to drilling into plastic bags when I sleep every day? The powder can’t get in.”

“Then won’t you suffocate?” The driver couldn’t help but interrupt.

Pa.

The bearded man slapped the back of the driver’s head. “Can’t he carry an oxygen tank when he’s sleeping?”

“Yes.” Chen Yu nodded. “Because I’m afraid of suffocation, I still breathe in oxygen tanks when I sleep at night.”

“Alright then. I’ll believe whatever you say, Brother.” The bearded man gave a half-smile. “Just treat me as an idiot.”

Chen Yu nodded. “Alright.”

“…” The smile on the bearded man’s face froze.

…

Night.

The motorcade stopped.

After forming a formation in an open space, the drivers got out of the vehicles to check the condition of the vehicles.

For the entire day, every vehicle was in a high-speed state. Even if the machines were excellent, they still had to undergo temporary maintenance.

Hiss —

Some of the front hatches of some vehicles immediately turned into bubbling water when a handful of snow was thrown.

“That someone, bring me the board.”

“All of you, fill it up!”

“F*ck, there seems to be something wrong with my exhaust pipe…”

Amid the noise, Chen Yu, Ma Li, Chen Siwen, and the others also got out of the car and gathered in a place.

“Ah… After sitting in the vehicle for a whole day, my bones are about to break.” Chen Siwen stretched her body.

“Who told you not to come with me?” Chen Yu carried his backpack and picked up the spirited BB. He commanded, “All of you, follow me later.”

“Go?” Ma Li was stunned. “This is such a wild place. Where are we going?”

“Anywhere is fine.” Chen Yu glanced at the camp of the convoy. “As long as we don’t live with them, we’ll be much safer.”

Ma Li: “??”

“If I ask you to leave, just leave. Put on your luggage. I’ll take their Zhongtong Express Delivery. It always happens at night.”

“Leaving without permission… Shouldn’t we tell the person-in-charge?” Chen Siwen hesitated.

“Yes. He’s so happy.” Chen Yu took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. “He gave us a quarter of the money for the tickets.”

Everyone: “…”

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Let’s go quickly,” Chen Yu urged. “The sky will be completely dark soon. We won’t be able to make it in time.”

Under Chen Yu’s forceful drive, Chen Siwen, Ma Li, and the others left the camp in a daze. They headed east.

They only stopped after walking for a few kilometers.

“It’s so far away. It should be safe, right?” Chen Yu carefully calculated the distance between them and the express delivery convoy.

Ma Li said, “Brother Yu.”

“Yes?”

“I think you’re being silly.”

“Shut up.”

He pulled open his backpack and took out the three portable tents that the bearded man had given them.

Chen Yu found a relatively flat place and opened the tent.

“I’ll sleep in a while. I’ll stay in one tent. BB and my sister will stay in one, and you two will stay in the other.”

After saying that.

Ma Li and Ma Yan said at the same time, “I’m not used to sleeping with women.”

Chen Yu: “…”

BB: “I want to sleep with adults.”

Chen Siwen: “…”

“If you’re not used to it, then sleep outside.” Chen Yu took out six cans from his backpack and threw two bottles into a tent. He waved his hand impatiently. “This is for dinner. Hurry up and sleep after you eat. BB, come over here for a moment.”

“My Lord.” BB ran over immediately.

“I remember you don’t need to sleep, right?” Chen Yu whispered into BB’s ear after pulling her into the tent.

“Yes.” BB nodded. “Glory Robots don’t need to sleep.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you to be on duty tonight. Coincidentally, you have x-ray vision, so you can check your surroundings at all times. If anything happens, immediately send out an alarm.”

“Yes,” BB said seriously.

“Go back and sleep with my sister.”

“I want to sleep with the Lord.”

“This part won’t do. Sleep with my sister for a few days first.”

“…Alright.” BB left dejectedly.

Pulling his backpack tightly, Chen Yu squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the caravan’s camp for a while before walking back to the tent.

Clap clap clap!

He clapped his hands and attracted the attention of the four people, he said, “It’s hard to travel. You can’t eat well and sleep well. But we’re all martial artists, so we can easily overcome it. When we reach Bingcheng City and there’s plenty of time, I’ll take everyone to have a good day and relax.”

“Then I want to find a duck.” Ma Yan raised her hand.

“Sister, please be serious.” Ma Li held her forehead at the side. “Don’t we have one in our team?”

“…” Chen Yu was expressionless. “Be more serious.”

“Okay.”

“Alright, let’s all go to sleep. Good night.”

After saying that, Chen Yu turned around and walked towards his tent.

He couldn’t go in. He discovered that Chen Siwen, who was beside him, was in a daze.

“Sis, what’s wrong?”

Chen Siwen: “…I f*cking regret it.”

Chen Yu: “You deserve it.”

…

“Phew…”

After entering the tent, Chen Yu laid down comfortably. He took out his phone to check the time and set the alarm for the next morning.

Then, he took out a piece of chocolate-like candy from his backpack, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

This was a food with caffeine as the main ingredient.

Ordinary people would usually use it to boost their spirits.

But if it was Chen Yu, he would become a perfect hypnotic drug.

Not long after, sleepiness surged up.

Chen Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep in satisfaction.

“…”

“…”

Rip!

But before he could fall asleep completely, the zipper of the tent was pulled open.

Two black shadows sneaked in.

“…Huh?”

Chen Yu opened his eyes in a daze and saw who it was.

It was Ma Li and Ma Yan.

Chen Yu: “…What are you two doing?”

Clap clap clap!

Ma Yan clapped her hands excitedly three times. “Didn’t you clap three times just now? You wanted us to come in the middle of the night.”

Chen Yu: “…”

[Psychological injury: Spirit +6]

“You guys… Are you trying to learn from the Monkey King? And this isn’t the middle of the night, right?!”

“Don’t you want to come back in the middle of the night? There’s not enough time.” Ma Yan began to take off her coat.

“Get lost!!!”

…

At the same time.

In the tent next door.

Chen Siwen covered her ears in annoyance. “D*mn it, I just see that those two women aren’t good people. They keep trying to seduce my brother, but I haven’t had the time to seduce them yet.”

BB: “…Sister, do you want to go take a look?”

“No.” Chen Siwen turned over and buried her face in the pillow. Her voice was muffled. “Go to sleep.”

“Ah… Are you going to sleep?”

“Yes.”

“Alright.”

Nodding her head, BB leaned over and recalled the memory of helping Chen Yu to sleep. She slowly raised her arm.

“Yes…”

“You have to use more strength…”

Ka ka.

Clenching her fist, BB finished accumulating her strength. A bright light flashed in her eyes as she aimed at the back of Chen Siwen’s head with a powerful punch!

Duang!

Chen Siwen’s body shook violently… and she slowly relaxed.

“…zzZ…”

“As expected.”

BB retracted her small fist happily, and her face turned red. “This is how humans sleep…”
