This Curse Is Just Awesome Chapter 43

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom…

Thousands of cannonballs fell into the 'black fog' and exploded into flames.

However, compared to the endless Beast Tide, it was like a drop of water falling into a bowl…

Following that, the city gates opened wide and tanks swarmed out, carrying 200 warriors as they charged.

Soon, the surroundings of the city walls were stained with the nauseating smell of diesel.

Dong, dong, dong, dong…

The tank troops advanced 3,000 meters. Under the command of their commander, they raised the muzzles of their cannons and squandered the high explosive shells as if they were free.

At the same time, the 200 martial artists also jumped down from the tanks one after another. They formed groups of five and continued to advance about 1,000 meters. They began to mobilize their Qi and began to work together to display their martial arts.

Due to the distance and the interference from the cannon fire, Chen Yu could not hear the warriors' shouts clearly, but he could see the swamps that were rapidly forming.

“Warriors can change the terrain?!” He was shocked.

“You still don't know that warriors can change the terrain?” The one-eyed old man next to him was also shocked.

Chen Yu: “…What's going on?”

The one-eyed old man looked Chen Yu up and down. “You shouldn't be a Level 1 warrior, right?”

“It seems like there's some knowledge that only a Level 1 warrior can know.” Chen Yu spread out his hands. “Sir, please tell me about it.”

“Aren't you just fooling around? Without Level 1, why did you come up here?”

“I came up anyway.” Chen Yu took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party. “Come, I'll light a cigarette for you.”

“Little brat.” Taking the cigarette and lighting it up, the one-eyed old man pointed at the battlefield in front of him and said, “For martial artists, after breaking through to Level 1, they usually face a choice.”

“What choice?”

“Choose which major you specialize in. There are two major paths. Qi martial arts and physical martial arts.”

“Please continue.”

“Okay. Qi martial arts mainly relied on the changes of the force in the microscopic domain to cause objective changes in the macroscopic domain. For example, controlling the force to slow down the movement of the surrounding atoms would cause the surrounding temperature to drop sharply. Controlling the force to accelerate the movement of the atoms would produce high temperatures.”

“I know this! So this is a martial art?” Chen Yu was enlightened.

A few days ago in the alien realm, in order to remove traces, he had used the force to evaporate his blood.

At that time, he had controlled the force to rub against each other to create high temperatures.

“What I'm telling you is only the simplified principles of martial arts. Formal martial arts are very complicated, requiring the practitioner to be proficient in physics, mathematics, chemistry, and many other subjects.”

His voice paused slightly, and the one-eyed old man pointed at the martial artists on the battlefield. “Take the swamp they created as an example. It needs to change the arrangement of the atoms in the soil, and it needs to control the oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms to combine into water molecules…”

Chen Yu was stunned.

He almost thought that this was a sci-fi world…

“So, many people also call Qi martial arts the magic of warriors.”

“Then… What about physical martial arts?”

“It's the opposite of Qi martial arts. They focus on strengthening the physique, digging out fighting skills, martial arts, body development, and other skills.”

“It's very similar to the mages and warriors in the game?” Chen Yu was deep in thought.

The one-eyed old man nodded. “That's right.”

As the two of them conversed, the battlefield outside the city had already been set up with swamps.

Out of the two hundred martial arts professional martial artists, only a few dozen returned. The rest were all sacrificed.

At this moment, the Beast Tide was still a few thousand meters away.

The martial artists who were sacrificed had exhausted their strength and died from exhaustion.

This could be considered the most common cause of death for martial arts professional martial artists…

Time continued to pass.

As the Beast Tide continued to advance, the tanks fired while retreating.

When tens of thousands of exotic beasts were trapped in the swamp, the howitzers in the city were fired again.

Sou– Sou– Sou– Sou–

Rumble…

The spattering artillery fire, the burning flames, the crushed corpses, the exploding soil…

This was a real battlefield that Chen Yu had never seen before.

Cold, cruel, merciless, and indifferent.

Modern weapons that could take human lives at will were not inferior to exotic beasts.

However, the Beast Tide was endless…

The seemingly 'lively' attacks were only a drop in the bucket.

Slowly, the shells disappeared.

The smoke and dust from the cannon fire also gradually dissipated.

Everyone on the East City Wall had a clear view of the scale of the Beast Tide.

It was an indescribable shock…

It was as if there was only a small group of tanks in sight…

Including the Mayor of Qingcheng City, every human was silent.

Perhaps there were people who had seen fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions… but no matter what, there was nothing more hopeless than the scene before them.

Chen Yu subconsciously took a few steps back, turned around decisively, and walked toward the exit of the East City Wall.

He was dead for sure.

The entire Qingcheng City was dead for sure.

This was the only thought in his mind at that moment.

Not to mention a tiny Qingcheng, Chen Yu suspected that even if he sent out half of the country's martial artists, they might not be able to defeat that sea of beasts.

Compared to the small skirmishes with the Lewei Group, it turned out that his real mortal enemy was only the exotic beasts…

Wu– Wu– Wu–

At this moment, a series of sharp whistling sounds came from the sky.

Chen Yu turned his head and saw hundreds of arc-shaped lights.

“Are these… long-range missiles?!”

On the city wall, the crowd, whose morale had been extremely low, suddenly burst into wild cheers.

“Tactical missiles! It's a tactical missile!”

“It must be coming from the capital!”

“OHOHOHOHOHOH…”

“Close your eyes! Open your mouths and cover your ears!”

“Get down! All of you, get down!”

“It's a cloud bomb!”

Chen Yu didn't have time to escape. He hurriedly lay on the ground and covered his ears.

Then…

A huge fireball spread out.

The terrifying heat vaporized all the exotic beasts in the core circle.

Then, a second fireball, a third fireball, a fourth, a fifth…

After more than ten seconds, the slow sound wave finally arrived.

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

On the East City Wall, many weak martial artists were knocked out.

In Qingcheng City, the windows of the buildings were all broken.

A few minutes later.

Everything was settled.

The martial artists got up with hope and looked outside the city…

The Beast Tide was still like the sea.

They couldn't even reduce it by 1/10,000.

Everyone's faces were ashen…

Chen Yu walked to the exit even more decisively and said to the armed police officer, “I want to go down.”

“Without the Mayor's permission, no one is allowed to go down the city wall.” The police officer exploded with the strength of a Level 2 martial artist. “Go back!”

“I'm a student.”

“Huh?”

Chen Yu repeated, “I'm a student, a third-year student at No. 7 High School. I want to go down the city wall.”

The police officer hesitated and whispered to his colleague beside him for a long time. Then, he took out a device that looked like a cell phone. “What's your name?”

“Chen Yu.”

“…” He pressed a few buttons on the screen, and sure enough, Chen Yu's photo appeared on the device. “No. 7 High School… No. 7 High School, Class 6?”

“Yes. According to the announcement, I have the right to go down the city wall.”

“Okay.” The police officer didn't waste any more time and nodded. “Wait a moment, I'll operate it.”

“Hurry up.” Chen Yu turned his head to look at the approaching Beast Tide. “The mutated beasts are coming soon.”

The police officer: “…Then why did you come up earlier?!”

Chen Yu: “I got lost.”

“…” The police officer wished he could give Chen Yu a kick.

The application process to go down the city wall was very complicated. The police officer busied himself for more than two minutes before everything was settled.

Shaking his tired fingers, he said impatiently, “That's enough. You can go down after taking a photo at the end. No. 7 High School hasn't evacuated yet. Hurry up and go there. You can still catch up with the main force of the city…”

“Thank you, but I suddenly don't want to go down.”

The police officer: “???”

A wave of anger swept through his body. The police officer raised his head and glared at Chen Yu. “Are you sick?”

Chen Yu didn't reply. Instead, he looked straight out of the city.

The police officer subconsciously followed Chen Yu's gaze and was instantly stunned.

It wasn't just the two of them.

The strange situation outside the city made everyone on the city wall look dumbfounded…
