Chapter 13: Sudden Incident
"Mister, take me to Wumu University."
Chen Ye got into the taxi.
Wumu University.
That's the famous Wuda of Modu!
The words "Wu" and "Mu" are often used in ancient posthumous names.
Together, "Wumu" is typically used for the posthumous titles of famous generals.
Wumu University of Modu, named as such, shows ambition without offending any taboos.
A very clever name for a university.
The taxi driver, hearing Chen Ye wanted to go to Wuda, immediately became much more enthusiastic from his previously lazy attitude.
"Young man, are you going to study at Wuda?"
The driver asked while starting the car.
Chen Ye, sitting in the back, fastened his seatbelt: "Yes!"
"Wow, that's really impressive!"
Upon getting Chen Ye's confirmation, the driver became even more enthusiastic: "Anyone who can attend our Wuda is a prodigy... Young man, you must have an S-class hero talent, right?"
"...I have a C-class hero talent," Chen Ye said helplessly.
"Ha ha, young man, you really have a sense of humor."
The driver took Chen Ye's words as a joke.
Then, as if remembering something, the driver laughed again: "Speaking of which, I heard that recently, some fool during a live stream matched with a C-class hero talent, and it was so embarrassing, it's like losing face to the extreme."
Chen Ye: "..."
"It's unbelievable! Even someone like me who rarely goes online knows that C-class heroes are worthless, I don't know what was going through that fool's mind?" the driver said, hitting the nail on the head again.
Chen Ye: "..."
I'm thinking.
Whether to beat you up or not!
Chen Ye simply closed his eyes, pretending to rest, not wanting to deal with the driver's chatter.
However, the driver seemed very talkative and clearly didn't want to let Chen Ye off so easily: "Young man, is this your first time in Modu?"
Hearing the question, Chen Ye reluctantly opened his eyes, as he was a polite person.
"Not really, I've been here to play before."
Chen Ye was referring to his past life.
There's also a Modu on Earth, which he had visited several times before his transmigration.
At that moment.
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.
"Boom!"
It was unclear what had exploded, but the noise was enormous.
Even from a distance, the glass door of a shop on the roadside shattered.
Pedestrians on the street were screaming in fright.
The driver was startled and quickly slammed on the brakes.
The taxi screeched to a halt.
"What's going on?" Chen Ye looked surprised.
"I'm not sure!"
The driver seemed a bit shaken but also eager to see what was happening.
While parking the car on the side of the road, he said, "Young man, just sit in the car for a while. I'll go take a look. If something happened ahead, we'll take another route... Don't worry, I won't charge you extra for the detour."
Chen Ye, not interested in joining the crowd, responded, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the car."
The driver got out and joined the other onlookers, heading towards the direction of the explosion.
After about less than ten minutes.
The driver came back.
His expression was somewhat grim.
As soon as he got into the car, he started cursing: "These people are really damned!"
Chen Ye, curious, asked, "Mister, what happened up ahead?"
The driver started the car and said, "It's the fanatics, those rioters from the Zealot Faction. They planted a bomb on Guangming Street and just detonated one. It's said there are more bombs, and now everyone in that area is evacuating."
Chen Ye indeed saw many people running towards their direction.
In his mind, information about the Zealot Faction surfaced.
The so-called Zealot Faction is essentially a group of deranged fanatics who believe that monsters are the true rulers of the Blue Planet and even worship them as deities. They think humanity should passively accept the fate bestowed by monsters and not resist their invasion.
These zealots, though few in number, are notorious for their madness, fervor, and fearlessness of death.
They frequently carry out suicide terror attacks around the world, causing chaos in human society and headaches for nations worldwide.
Chen Ye didn't expect to encounter such an incident just as he arrived in Modu.
"Young man, it's not safe over there now. Several streets have been temporarily controlled and are impassable, we can only take a detour."
The driver explained.
Chen Ye naturally agreed: "Okay, let's take a detour."
The taxi then turned around and headed towards another road.
Along the way.
Chen Ye heard several explosions, all coming from a distance.
He was a bit surprised.
It seemed that the situation was quite serious.
The previously talkative taxi driver, probably realizing the severity of the situation, stopped chatting and looked very solemn.
A moment later.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of Wuda.
As a renowned ability university, the entrance of Wuda was grandly constructed.
However, at this moment, the entrance was heavily guarded by many soldiers, forbidding any bystanders from approaching.
As Chen Ye approached, a soldier stopped him.
"Hello, this area is under temporary control, and no one is allowed to approach."
"Hello, I'm a new student here to report, can't I go in?"
"Please show your admission notice."
Chen Ye opened his backpack and took out the admission notice.
After verifying it, the soldier let him pass.
As Chen Ye entered the campus, he found that the atmosphere there was also very heavy.
Many helicopters were parked on the playground.
"Hello, classmate."
Just as Chen Ye was looking at the helicopters, a voice came from beside him.
Chen Ye turned his head and saw a young man approaching him.
"Are you a new student here to report?" the young man asked.
"Yes," Chen Ye nodded.
"I'm a freshman guide." The young man's expression was somewhat serious: "There's been a sudden situation, and now there's a citywide evacuation order. Students are a priority group for evacuation. Classmate, you don't need to look for your dormitory, just go straight to board the helicopter!"
"May I ask what exactly is the sudden situation that requires a citywide evacuation?"
Chen Ye was very surprised.
He had his suspicions but asked just to confirm.
The guide sighed: "A group of zealots from the Zealot Faction blew up a section of the city wall, triggering a beast tide crisis."
Although Chen Ye had his guesses, he was still shocked to hear the guide's words.
Modu is one of the largest and most bustling cities in the country, with a resident population of over ten million.
The beast tide crisis the guide mentioned refers to a flood-like hor
of monsters attacking human cities.
Apparently, the destruction of the city wall gave the monsters an opportunity.
If the authorities fail to contain this beast tide crisis, the consequences would be unimaginable!
What puzzled Chen Ye was how such an important facility as the city wall, which should have been heavily guarded, could be destroyed by the Zealot Faction?
