This Curse Is Just Awesome
/ This Curse Is Just Awesome Chapter 45
After 'coaxing' his mother, Chen Yu returned to the cigarette shop.
The shop door was tightly shut, still the same as last night.
“Still not back yet?”
He took out his keys, opened the door, and entered. He turned on the light on the signboard and began his daily business.
Soon, customers came one after another.
There were men and women, old and young.
They were desperately smoking and celebrating each other's survival…
Chen Yu was hooked so much that he couldn't help but start smoking.
But as time passed, he became more and more nervous.
It was almost noon.
Sister Qi hadn't come back yet.
“Could there be an accident…”
Standing up, Chen Yu walked around restlessly, smoking one cigarette after another.
When he went up the city wall, he couldn't find Sister Qi.
It was almost noon, and she hadn't come back yet. Chen Yu couldn't help but think of the worst.
Finally, at 1:30 pm, a group of police officers entered the shop.
“Are you Chen Yu?” The old police officer in the lead took out a document and carefully read the words on it. He asked Chen Yu.
Chen Yu's heart instantly sank. “Yes, it's me. What's wrong?”
“You're Qi Cheng's only beneficiary.”
“What's wrong with her?” This was the first time Chen Yu knew Sister Qi's full name.
“She's in the Intensive Care Unit of the Red Cross Hospital.” The old policeman walked forward and handed over a small piece of paper. “Room 410 on the fourth floor. This is the pass.”
“…Help me lock the door.” Chen Yu did not waste any more words. He took the key and pushed the door open.
Bang!
The energy in his body circulated and pushed him to run away.
In less than five minutes, he arrived at the Red Cross Hospital in the city center.
After showing his pass, Chen Yu went up to the fourth floor and ran to Room 410. Through the window, he saw Sister Qi lying on the bed, whose fate was unknown.
“Are you the patient's family member?” A doctor walked over.
“Sort of.” Chen Yu nodded. “What's wrong with her?”
“Her Qi was severely overdrawn, resulting in a coma.” The doctor said seriously, “She needs to start treatment immediately. Otherwise, her brain function will be damaged soon.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Treatment?”
“The surgery fee is estimated to be around 400,000 yuan.”
“That expensive?!” Chen Yu was shocked.
“Yes.” The doctor sighed. “Overdrawn energy is the most common cause of death for martial arts practitioners. Treatment is very troublesome.”
“Overdrawn energy…” Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. “Did she… Go to set up the swamp?”
“Yes.” The doctor nodded. “She was one of the two hundred people who charged with the tanks.”
“She sacrificed herself for Qingcheng City. Isn't the government going to subsidize her?”
“If it were any other injuries, they would definitely subsidize her. However, the government can't do anything about the treatment fees for overexertion…”
“Why?”
The doctor looked troubled. “Overexertion can only be cured by finding martial artists above Level 3 and continuously injecting their Qi into the patients to wash away the dried up dantian.”
“So this 400,000 yuan is all the reward for a Level 3 martial artist, right?”
“Yes.” The doctor nodded. “The time required to infuse his energy must be at least ten hours. A normal Level 3 martial artist would not be able to hold on. There were even cases where the patient was saved but the 'injector' was overdrawn. Therefore, it was not easy to find a martial artist who was willing to help even if one has money. For the government to be able to force civil servants to be 'injectors', it can already be considered a subsidy.”
“I see.” After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu felt relieved and waved his hand. “Then, let's begin.”
“Begin the treatment? Then go downstairs and pay the bill first. We'll contact the government department right away…”
Chen Yu interrupted, “I mean, let's start the discharge process.”
The doctor: “???”
Chen Yu: “I'm not going to treat her anymore. I don't have the money.”
The doctor: “Sir, you…”
Chen Yu: “Hurry up and get her discharged. If you're any later, it'll be too late.”
The doctor: “…”
He brought the unconscious Sister Qi home.
Chen Yu directly closed the shop.
Then, he went up to the second floor, pulled the curtains tight, placed Sister Qi on the bed, and took off her shirt one by one.
He specifically looked it up on the internet.
Martial artists who had exhausted their strength had no memory before they woke up.
Moreover, the best way to input their strength was to accurately locate the location of their dantian without the barrier of clothes.
With these two kinds of 'theoretical support', as a staunch scientist, Chen Yu had to listen.
“Don't be afraid of treatment, don't be afraid of treatment…”
Muttering, he even took off Sister Qi's pants..
Sitting by the bed, Chen Yu's expression was serious. He observed from head to toe for a while before reaching out and touching Sister Qi's smooth abdomen.
“The location of this dantian is really hard to find.”
Sister Qi: “…”
Slowly closing his eyes, Chen Yu mobilized all the strength in his body, flowing through his palm and crazily into Sister Qi's dantian.
[Energy consumption: Consumption -560]
[Energy consumption: Consumption -642]
[Energy consumption: Consumption -717]
This was the reason why Chen Yu discharged her from the hospital!
Although he was only a Level 1 martial apprentice, under the reversal of [Curse], his energy was almost limitless!
Was there anyone more suitable than him as an 'injector'?
“Continue inputting for ten hours…”
His right hand pressed on Sister Qi's abdomen and did not move. Chen Yu took out his phone and looked at the time. Then, he took out his slippers and lay on the bed next to Sister Qi.
This was a long battle.
It was too tiring to sit all the time.
“Ah…”
“This dantian is really big and really white…”
During the 'treatment' period, Chen Yu was still paying attention to another matter.
That was the situation of the Beast Tide.
Due to unknown reasons, the Beast Tide turned around, and Qingcheng City was considered to have escaped a calamity.
However, the exotic beasts didn't disappear. Instead, they approached another city — Crane City.
This caused a huge uproar on the internet.
From the day the exotic beasts appeared, there hadn't been any incidents of the Beast Tide shifting.
The media, colleges, research institutes, and other institutions at home and abroad had launched targeted analysis and discussions.
They were trying to find a new route to fight against the Beast Tide.
Chen Yu did not care about this.
He only wanted to know how Crane City was doing.
In the normal world of his previous life, he often went to Crane City. The university was on the way to Crane City College, and his work was also in Crane City. It could be considered half his hometown.
Even his first love was a person from Crane City.
If possible, he did not want anything to happen to Crane City.
But this was just a figment of his imagination…
At 3:40 pm, the Beast Tide arrived at the North Wall of Crane City.
At 4:00 pm, Crane City's communication was cut off.
At 4:10 pm, the country officially announced that Crane City no longer existed.
At 6:00 pm, the Beast Tide dispersed.
At 8:00 pm, the casualty statistics of Crane City were released on the Internet.
Crane City, a Mayor, six Vice Mayors, more than 10,000 civil servants, 40,000 martial artists, 630,000 people…
Except for 60% of the students who evacuated in time, no one was spared.
“Wu, wu, wu–”
Outside the house, a long wail sounded.
Di–
Di– Di–
Countless cars also honked their horns heavily.
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu pulled open the curtains and looked at the dark night in the distance without saying a word.
“It's just nighttime, and it's already so dark…”
