Chapter 63 - 61: It’s Not Easy to Look Cool

After talking with Fatty.Hang Yu left the studio.

He found a shared bike and was ready to ride home.

There’s no other way, the subway has been permanently shut down, and only a few buses are still operating, but the road conditions are terrible. Taking a ride feels like being on a tractor, so it’s better to pedal a bicycle.

Cyan Dragon Alley community changes day by day.

Xiang Yun found that several alleys were completely blocked by plants.

Some people had planted ornamental trees at their doorsteps which directly broke through limits, growing over ten meters tall, with canopies like giant umbrellas. Besides, many strange and previously unseen plant species appeared.

Snakes, lizards, field mice, rabbits, and other small animals could be seen everywhere in the dense grass.

Does this even look like a place where people live?

Once you go in, it feels like wilderness survival.

Living in such a place indeed feels like returning to nature.

The bicycle couldn’t get in, so he had to park outside and walk through on foot.

Actually, faced with this situation, Hang Yu also wanted to complain, but from another perspective, even though coming and going was really troublesome, living in the center of Cyan Dragon Alley was no different than living in seclusion. It was hard for outsiders to disturb him, while it was also difficult for others to find out what Hang Yu was tinkering with inside.

There were still hundreds of materials waiting to be processed.

An alchemist is like this, with a vast number of medicines to refine, requiring a large amount of energy to be invested.

Because the profits from medicine refining were too substantial, and trustworthy people were hard to find temporarily, he had to bear it himself for now.

Hang Yu finally arrived near his home, and when he was less than a hundred meters away, he suddenly heard sounds of smashing, cursing, and shouting.

What’s going on?

Domestic violence? Or a home invasion robbery?

Hang Yu carefully distinguished the sounds, which were coming from the yard in front.

From the sounds, it could be roughly judged that a grandmother and granddaughter were being bullied.

Cyan Dragon Alley, being such an old and shabby community, was predominantly inhabited by the elderly and children, with not many young adults. This place was less than a hundred meters from his home, so he considered them his neighbors. Even if they weren’t his neighbors, he couldn’t just pat his rear and walk away.

Hang Yu’s moral compass was still quite upright.

Though he preferred to avoid trouble when possible,

if he could ensure there was no threat or loss to himself, he was willing to do some good deeds for others, as the saying goes, helping others is the source of happiness.

......

This was an old residential courtyard.

Its scale wasn’t too large, only half of Hang Yu’s home.

A burly, muscular man with a thick gold chain and a watch on his wrist, with tattoos on his arms, led three rough-looking young men into it, shouting with a big voice and a fierce manner, clearly not decent people.

The bullied old lady was at least seventy years old.

Very thin, dressed simply, full of silver hair, kind in appearance.

The little girl seemed five or six years old, with a bun hairstyle, wearing a bear t-shirt, clean and well-kept, a cute little girl, at this moment shivering with fear.

The three delinquents were smashing things with iron rods.

The whole yard was in chaos.

The old lady kept begging for mercy, almost kneeling down.

The Flower Arm Big Brother with the gold chain and watch shouted: "Damn it, old lady, don’t make me lose patience. Quickly hand over the stuff!"

The old lady hurriedly explained: "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Bah! Still pretending! If you don’t hand over the stuff, I’ll burn this broken house to the ground!"

The old lady was instantly anxious: "How can you be so unreasonable... you’re practically robbers!"

The little girl plucked up the courage and crisply shouted: "Don’t you bully my grandma, or I’ll call the police uncles to catch you bad guys! And my uncle Bald Qiang is very powerful, he’ll definitely teach you a lesson when he comes back!"

"Hehe, little girl, this city is in chaos now, who has time to bother with this place?" Flower Arm Big Brother became increasingly impatient. "As for Yang Wanqiang, that bastard, daring to take stuff from my turf with a few punks, I’ll deal with him sooner or later. Burn this place first."

One of the young men was about to start a fire with half a bucket of gasoline.

The old lady rushed forward to stop them, only to be knocked down by the two delinquents.

The little girl fell, hitting her head, and started crying loudly, terrified.

But just as the delinquents were about to commit their crime,

a door-opening sound came from behind.

Could it be that bastard Bald Qiang is back?

Flower Arm Big Brother looked over and saw a stranger in his early twenties.

He immediately cursed, "Who the hell are you? Don’t interfere! Get lost! Or we’ll beat you too!"

Hang Yu furrowed his brow upon seeing the situation in the yard.

Are you kidding me, bullying a little girl and an old lady? These guys are too inhumane!

What should be the appropriate reaction in such a situation?

Hang Yu recalled the introductory dialogues before heroes intervened on TV.

He immediately cleared his throat and seriously declared, "In broad daylight and under the clear sky, you dare to break into a home and bully the old and young, your morality is bankrupt and devoid of conscience. Today I..."

"Damn, where’s this fool from, get out of the way!"

Flower Arm Big Brother raised his hand, instantly launching a pale cyan fist shadow.

Hang Yu felt frustrated, I was just trying to act cool, couldn’t you let me finish my speech?

Flower Arm Big Brother had an attack skill, and his attack ability was quite strong.

Nowadays, acting cool is increasingly risky.

Even someone like Hang Yu might capsize unexpectedly.

Luckily, this delinquent leader was still a level 1, and the strength of innate skills was proportional to character level. With Hang Yu’s current level 3 skills, he could naturally handle it.

He performed a side-flip evade maneuver, and during the dodge, quickly grabbed the ground with his right hand and picked up a few loose stones.

With a bang,

the pale cyan fist shadow struck the wooden door.

The sturdy wooden door had a hole punched in it.

Such power, if it hit a human, would mean either death or serious injury!

Flower Arm Big Brother obviously hadn’t expected that the skill which had been invincible and triumphant could be dodged by this guy, with such reaction speed and agility!

He hadn’t yet understood what this meant.

Suddenly a shrill scream came.

Flower Arm Big Brother’s kneecap exploded like it had been hit by a bullet, causing him to scream and fall to the ground, blood gushing and nearly fainting from the pain.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Big brother, are you alright?"

The other three delinquents were dumbfounded.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

They hadn’t figured out what happened, and the big brother was inexplicably hit and lay on the ground howling in pain.

Flower Arm Big Brother realized that something had shattered his knee, and now he couldn’t even stand.

This must be some kind of attack skill.

Since it’s a Spirit Realm skill, there must be a cooldown period.

He immediately shouted hysterically, "Get him, quickly! Finish him!"

Hang Yu sneered dismissively, casually tossing his right hand.

The delinquents saw that the opponent’s weapon was just ordinary little stones.

However, as the stones left his hand, they emitted a sharp whistle, almost like a handgun bullet!

"Ah!"

"My leg!"

"My leg is shot through!"

Another delinquent screamed and fell to the ground.

The other two delinquents were in shock, hurriedly picking up iron rods and knives, but after running four or five meters, they hadn’t had time to launch an attack.

Hang Yu raised his hand.

Another stone was launched.

One delinquent’s weapon-wielding hand was hit.

A finger was forcibly broken by a stone!

The last delinquent, seeing this, completely broke down.

He let out a sharp scream, turned around, and tried to flee.

Hang Yu shook his head, "Truly worthless!"
