Sudden Incident

"Master, take me to Wu Mu University."

Chen Ye got into the taxi.

Wu Mu University.

It was Magic City Martial University!

"Wu" and "Mu" were both commonly used characters in ancient posthumous titles.

And "Wu Mu" together was generally used as a posthumous title for famous generals.

Magic City Martial University being named "Wu Mu" showed ambition without being taboo.

A very clever school name.

When the taxi driver heard Chen Ye was going to Wu Da, his lazy attitude immediately became much more enthusiastic.

"Young man, are you going to Wu Da to study?"

The driver asked while starting the car.

Chen Ye sat in the back and put on his seatbelt, "Yes!"

"Oh, then you're truly amazing!"

After Chen Ye confirmed, the driver became even more enthusiastic. "Anyone who can get into our Wu Da is a chosen one... Young man, you must have awakened an S-class Hero talent, right?"

"...I awakened a C-class Hero talent," Chen Ye said helplessly.

"Haha, you're really joking, young man."

The driver completely dismissed Chen Ye's words as a joke.

Then, as if remembering something, the driver chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, I heard that not long ago, there was actually an idiot who awakened a C-class Hero talent while live-streaming. He really embarrassed himself to the extreme."

Chen Ye: "..."

"It's simply unbelievable! Even I, who rarely goes online, know that C-class Heroes are trash. I wonder what that idiot was thinking?" the driver continued to sting.

Chen Ye: "..."

I'm thinking...

Should I beat you up!

Chen Ye simply closed his eyes, pretending to rest, not wanting to deal with this chatty uncle.

However, the driver seemed very talkative and clearly didn't want to let Chen Ye off the hook. "Young man, is this your first time in Magic City?"

Hearing the question, Chen Ye reluctantly opened his eyes. He was a polite person.

"Not exactly, I've visited before."

Chen Ye was referring to his previous life.

There was also a Magic City on Earth, and he had visited it a few times before transmigrating.

At this moment.

A violent explosion suddenly sounded in the distance.

"Boom!"

It was unclear what had exploded to produce such a massive sound.

From far away, the glass door of a shop by the roadside was shattered.

Pedestrians on the road screamed in fright.

The driver was also startled and quickly slammed on the brakes.

The taxi stopped abruptly.

"What's going on?" Chen Ye asked in surprise.

"I don't know!"

The driver appeared somewhat shaken, but a desire to join the excitement flickered in his eyes.

He drove the car to the side of the road and said, "Young man, wait in the car for a moment. I'll go take a look. If something happened up ahead, we'll take a different route... Don't worry, I won't charge you extra for the longer route."

Chen Ye wasn't interested in joining the commotion and replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the car."

The driver got out of the car and walked towards the direction of the explosion with other onlookers who enjoyed watching the excitement.

About ten minutes later.

The driver returned.

His expression was a little grim.

As soon as he got into the car, the driver grumbled, "These people are truly despicable!"

Chen Ye asked curiously, "Master, what happened up ahead?"

The driver started the car and said, "It was those thugs from the Fanatics. They planted bombs on Guangming Street and just detonated one. I heard there are more bombs, and everyone over there is evacuating now."

Chen Ye did indeed see many people running this way.

In his mind, information related to the Fanatics also surfaced.

The so-called Fanatics were, in fact, a group of crazy lunatics who believed monsters were the true rulers of Earth. They even worshipped monsters, thinking humanity should calmly accept the destiny bestowed by monsters and not resist their invasion.

Although the number of these Fanatics was not large, they were relentless, fanatical, and fearless of death.

They frequently launched suicide terrorist attacks worldwide, creating chaos in human society and causing headaches for every country.

Chen Ye hadn't expected to encounter such a situation right after arriving in Magic City.

"Young man, it's not safe over there now. Several streets have been temporarily cordoned off and are inaccessible. We'll have to take a detour."

The taxi driver said.

Chen Ye naturally agreed, "Okay, let's take a detour."

The taxi turned around and headed onto another road.

Along the way.

Chen Ye heard explosions several times, all coming from a distance.

He was a little surprised.

It seemed the current incident was quite serious.

The taxi driver, who had been quite talkative earlier, likely realized the gravity of the situation. He stopped talking on the way, his expression very solemn.

A moment later.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of Wu Mu University.

As a renowned Psychic University, the entrance of Wu Mu University was built very grandly.

However, at this moment, the entrance was heavily guarded by many soldiers, prohibiting any unauthorized personnel from approaching.

As Chen Ye walked forward, he was stopped by a soldier.

"Hello, this area has been temporarily controlled. No one is allowed to approach."

"Hello, I'm a new student reporting for duty. Can't I go in?"

"Please show your admission letter."

Chen Ye opened his backpack and took out his admission letter.

After the soldier verified it, he let him pass.

As Chen Ye entered the campus, he found the atmosphere inside was also quite heavy.

Many helicopters were parked on the sports field.

"Hello, student."

As Chen Ye was looking at the helicopters, a voice came from beside him.

Chen Ye turned his head and saw a young man walking towards him.

"You're a newly admitted student reporting for duty, right?" the young man asked.

"Yes," Chen Ye nodded.

"I'm a freshman orientation advisor." The young man's expression was somewhat serious. "There's been an emergency situation, and the entire city is now being evacuated. Students are among the priority groups for evacuation. Student, you don't need to look for your dormitory; just go and board the plane!"

"May I ask what kind of emergency situation requires the evacuation of the entire city?"

Chen Ye was very surprised.

In fact, he had a guess in his heart and was only asking to confirm.

The advisor sighed, "A group of Fanatic rioters blew up a section of the City Defense Wall, triggering a Beast Tide crisis."

Although he had a guess, Chen Ye was still greatly shocked when he heard the advisor's words.

Magic City was one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the country, with a permanent population of over ten million.

The Beast Tide crisis mentioned by the advisor referred to monsters, like a tide, attacking human cities.

Clearly, the destruction of the City Defense Wall had given the monsters an opportunity.

If the authorities failed to stop this Beast Tide crisis, the consequences would be unimaginable!

What Chen Ye couldn't understand was.

Shouldn't crucial facilities like the City Defense Wall be heavily guarded? How could they have been blown up by the Fanatics?
