Chapter 761: Chapter 733: Yang Xin’s Plea for Help

Li Chen had never thought about becoming a hero, nor was he interested in heroes.

Because he knew very well the price one must pay to be a hero.

And that price... might be one’s life.

All he wanted was to live well, to spend his days with his family and friends.

In this regard, he probably resembled those police officers who fled, but if he had the ability, he would still take action.

This had nothing to do with being a hero; he just wanted to protect the people around him, and that was it.

He returned to Linchuan with a sort of Nether Army.

This time, Li Chen did not go straight back to the villa but took people directly to Alice’s laboratory instead.

Outside the laboratory, corpses of monsters were laid out.

Li Chen ordered people to extract the Raw Stones from inside these monsters.

By now, the Nether Army also understood that the stones they used for training were excavated from inside these monsters.

"Isn’t this like what they say in those games? Are we leveling up by fighting monsters?" Ye Tu said with a bizarre tone.

"You could say that," Li Chen nodded.

The Energy contained within these Raw Stones was decent, but compared to his current strength, they were not of much use anymore.

He had previously absorbed a Raw Stone from a Yellow Rank Monster, and even the Yellow Rank Monster’s Raw Stone had a very limited effect on him.

By now, Li Chen also knew that if he wanted these Raw Stones to have a significant effect on him, they would probably have to come from monsters of a similar Level to himself.

In this case, it was quicker for him to train by drinking Cold Pool Water and eating Little Fish.

So, Li Chen was quite generous in distributing all these Raw Stones.

"These Raw Stones should be enough for you to train for a while," Li Chen said. "However, remember not to rely on such things. It’s better to train slowly on your own."

"Yes!" Seeing Li Chen’s serious expression, the Nether Army members nodded in agreement.

With the Beast Tide crisis temporarily resolved, Li Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After asking Alice for a room, Li Chen sat quietly in it.

Taking out the vessel containing the Super Gu from his pocket, Li Chen squeezed a few drops of blood into it. Instantly, the Super Gu seemed to be stimulated strongly, absorbing Li Chen’s fresh blood while letting out a loud screech.

"My blood is indeed special," Li Chen mused, noting the Super Gu that had calmed down but now seemed incredibly vivacious.

"Blood Sacrifice!"

Li Chen had inquired about the method of refining Gu insects; not long after, when Li Chen emerged from his room, Alice was already waiting for him in the laboratory’s main hall.

"Are you ready?" Li Chen asked.

"Everything’s ready," Alice nodded and then moved to a control panel, pressing a button gently.

Immediately, the floor at the center of the research laboratory slowly split apart from the middle.

Beneath it was a massive space, and right now, this space was filled with a large number of corpses—monster corpses.

Li Chen slowly took out the now fully tamed Super Gu from his pocket, a strange glint flickering in his eyes.

"I’ve heard that your growth potential is terribly frightening, and I must admit I’m quite eager to see what sort of creature you’ll become," Li Chen said as he threw the Super Gu into the midst of the monster corpses.

"Feast well, for I look forward to the day you can truly be of help to me!"

The lights in the underground space were turned on, and the doors on both sides began to close slowly.

Last of all, Li Chen looked at the now fully closed doors and said to Alice, "Keep a close eye on it for me, I’m heading out."

Just as he was about to leave the laboratory to return to his villa, Li Chen’s phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Li... Li Chen."

"Hmm?" Hearing this voice, Li Chen’s face involuntarily changed, and he quickly responded, "What’s wrong, Yang Xin?"

Though it was through the phone, Li Chen could still tell that Yang Xin’s voice was very tense, and her emotions thoroughly unstable.

"Li Chen... there are... there are monsters! They’ve hurt a lot of people, and I’m now hiding in the restroom, too afraid to go out..." Yang Xin’s voice even carried a hint of a sob, as if she had been scared out of her wits.

Li Chen’s brows knitted together, as he suddenly remembered the scattered monsters that had fled in all directions. Could it be that some of them had made it to Linchuan?

"Don’t panic, Xinxin, first tell me where you are, I’m coming right away!" Li Chen said with a grave voice.

"I’m currently... I’m in City Park right now, you... you have to hurry!"

"Stay where you are and don’t move, I’m on my way!" said Li Chen, immediately driving towards the direction of the park.

On the way, he ran through countless red lights, but Li Chen didn’t care one bit. With his driving skills, there was little chance of an accident happening.

In a very short period of time, Li Chen arrived at the park.

By then, he could see that visitors were still fleeing from the park incessantly.

Outside the park gates, there were merely two sparse police cars parked there, and a few isolated police officers were anxiously discussing something.

The majority of Linchuan’s police force had been deployed to handle the monster horde, and they had suffered heavy losses. Now, Linchuan was facing an awkward situation of insufficient police presence.

That’s why it took so long for just those two police cars to arrive at the scene.

And the few policemen, being ordinary people, didn’t dare to charge in.

Li Chen scanned the park and, without giving it much thought, strode in.

"Yang Xin, which restroom are you in?" After getting through to Yang Xin’s phone, Li Chen asked.

The park was quite large, and there were several public restrooms, making it impossible for Li Chen to discern where exactly Yang Xin was at the moment.

"The east side! I’m in the restroom on the east side, Li Chen, have you arrived?" Yang Xin’s voice still trembled, only now it steadied somewhat upon hearing that Li Chen was coming.

It was as if she knew that with Li Chen there, she was safe.

Just like the time when Li Chen had rescued her from the traffickers.

"The east side!" Li Chen’s gaze flashed as he rushed straight towards the east.

"Roar!" At that moment, Li Chen suddenly heard the roar of a monster. His eyes narrowed; sure enough, the monster was over there and was, at that moment, hovering near the restroom Yang Xin had mentioned.

"Ah!!"

What caused Li Chen’s expression to change again was that he had just heard a girl’s scream.

That voice... it was Yang Xin!
