Director Yu is like a dead dog
"???"
The smile on Director Yu's face froze; he even suspected he had misheard.
Beside him, everyone looked behind them curiously.
At a time like this, who would dare to be so rebellious? Were they truly not afraid of ending up like Zhao Chen?
Not far away... amidst the wind and snow... two figures stood there silently, appearing out of nowhere.
It was Chen Yu and Zhang Wanyue.
Chen Yu had his hands casually in his pockets. His face was expressionless, but he looked a bit cold.
Zhang Wanyue stood behind him, her gaze sharp as she looked at the crowd.
"Chen Yu?! Holy crap! For real?!"
"How... how is he here?!"
"Director Yu... what's going on?! Didn't you say he hadn't come out yet?!"
"Looking at it now, this guy came out ages ago and was resting in his Vehicle!"
"Then why didn't he hurry up and drive away?"
The crowd discussed animatedly, looking at Chen Yu and Zhang Wanyue with unfriendly expressions.
Seeing that someone else had drawn the fire, Zhao Chen looked at Director Yu's back and tried to retreat amidst the chaos... but Director Yu didn't even turn his head: "Keep a close eye on Little Zhao for me. I'll be right back."
Immediately after, Zhao Chen was blocked by two people.
"..."
Ahead, Director Yu's face was already plastered with a smile as he rubbed his hands and walked towards Chen Yu.
"Student Chen Yu!"
Director Yu's voice was enthusiastic: "Oh my, what a coincidence! we were just saying that with your abilities, you must have come out long ago. And sure enough!"
He stopped five paces away from Chen Yu, not daring to get any closer.
Chen Yu didn't speak, just looked at him.
Director Yu swallowed hard, his smile a bit stiff: "Well... we're preparing to withdraw. Student Chen Yu, there's plenty of time in the future, right? Hahaha."
"Who has plenty of time with you?"
Chen Yu finally spoke: "You know better than anyone why I'm blocking the way."
"Huh?"
Director Yu feigned ignorance: "Uh, I don't understand. Why are you blocking the way?"
Chen Yu smiled slightly: "What are you doing, leading over twenty people to surround those few students?"
Director Yu's expression changed: "We're not doing anything! We're just having a friendly exchange..."
Chen Yu spoke calmly: "Why does it look to me like you're using threats and bribes to make them hand over their prototype machines?"
Director Yu forced a smile: "Student Chen Yu, how could you say that... that's unity and cooperation! It's for the sake of concentrating resources to achieve maximum effectiveness!"
"Oh."
Chen Yu nodded and took half a step forward: "I suppose so. Then, for the sake of maximum effectiveness, Director Yu, hand over your prototype machine first."
Director Yu took a step back, his eyes narrowing: "Chen Yu! Don't go too far. I've been yielding to you everywhere not because I'm afraid of you, but for the sake of the collective inβ"
The final word, "interest," hadn't even been spoken yet!
A mere distance of four meters!
Chen Yu had already crossed it in a single stride!
Startled, Director Yu let out a yelp and turned to run!
But... he only felt his collar tighten and his feet leave the ground.
Then, the world began to spin.
It wasn't a metaphor; it was literal.
The ground suddenly receded, cold snow spray hit his face, and only the pitch-black sky remained in his vision.
It was deathly tight.
His neck was being squeezed hard; his vision began to darken and stars appeared.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had been lifted up by Chen Yu with one hand, his two legs flailing in the air.
"Let go of Director Yu!"
"Chen Yu, what are you doing! Let's talk this out! How can you lay hands on a teacher!"
"Exactly! This is too outrageous!"
A group of students cried out in alarm and started clamoring.
But their feet didn't move forward.
"Put... put me down! This is improper! I... I am a director..."
Director Yu spoke intermittently.
Being choked by the neck was too agonizing.
But Chen Yu ignored him, holding him like a little chick.
He struggled violently, his hands trying to pry open Chen Yu's grip, but unfortunately, the difference in strength was vast.
"?"
Director Yu's heart crumbled; his Strength attribute was as high as 20 points!
This was the super boost brought by his B-rank talent [Lifting Heavy as if Light]!
To use the words from the talent description: The "blue water dispenser bucket" bore the burden of collective life, and could directly boost one's own strength!
But even with such a powerful B-rank talent, he actually couldn't pry open Chen Yu's hand?
Then how strong was this guy's strength? Could it be 30+?!
Thud!
The hand choking his neck loosened, and Director Yu fell onto his butt on the ice, his tailbone throbbing with pain!
Before he could even howl, Chen Yu's foot was already stepping on his chest!
Thump!
After a dull sound.
"Aaaaaah!"
Director Yu let out a wail, nearly fainting from the pain.
"Where's the prototype machine?"
Chen Yu's voice had no ups or downs, only coldness.
The surroundings were dead silent.
All the students' faces were pale, and their feet uncontrollably shuffled backward.
They were all from the same Vehicle.
Naturally, they knew what Director Yu's ability was.
That was super powerful strength.
Now, he was being stepped on like a dead dog.
Anyone could see how large the gap between the two was.
In fact, those few who had just been surrounding Director Yu and shouting about "unity" had already retreated even further away.
Director Yu's face turned the color of pig liver: "You, you... take your foot off first..."
Chen Yu added another bit of force under his foot: "I'm asking you, where's the prototype machine?"
"Aaaaaah!"
Director Yu screamed again, but before he could say anything.
Zhao Chen, not far away, shouted: "Student Chen Yu! I want to hand over my prototype machine!"
Chen Yu looked up and saw a tall guy waving his hand: "The one from our team! We're handing it over voluntarily!"
After he finished shouting, without waiting for anyone to react, he shoved aside the two students in front of him.
The original task of those two students was to guard him on orders, but at this moment, they didn't dare to stop him.
Zhao Chen stumbled and rushed in front of Chen Yu.
[Ding!]
[Received a trade invitation (From: Zhao Chen)]
[Trade Item: geothermal core prototype x1]
[Requested Item: None]
[Confirm?]
Chen Yu looked down at the prompt that popped up and loosened his foot slightly.
Director Yu was able to breathe and began to cough violently.
Chen Yu chose "Accept."
A dark red metal sphere appeared in his personal inventory.
Chen Yu nodded: "Take your people and leave."
Zhao Chen felt as if he had been granted a grand amnesty and hurriedly nodded vigorously at Chen Yu.
He quickly turned around and called to his teammates: "Quick! Let's go!"
The several of them supported each other and walked through the crowd with unsteady steps, not even glancing at Director Yu on the ground.
Then they fled into their Vehicle, quickly started it, and left.
They no longer had a prototype machine.
If they fell behind others on Road to Survival, they would very likely be wiped out due to the decreasing temperature.
After all, the further back one was, the lower the temperature became.
Director Yu watched the departing Little Zhao, feeling bitter in his heart.
He suddenly thought of something: "Chen... Chen Yu, don't forget, our campus chat box has already opened. Aren't you afraid that I'll post all your evil deeds today on it!"
"Let all the students in the school see what kind of..."
Thump!
A vicious kick!
Director Yu's chest collapsed!
