Chapter 168: You're Done, You've Angered the Bald Guy

Chapter 168: You're Done, You've Angered the Bald Guy

The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, almost blotting out the entire sky. The world grew darker as the overcast sky took on a somber hue.

Chen Ye stood at the doorway, looking up at the ominous clouds in the sky, his expression calm as always.

Of course, he knew something was off about these clouds—there was clearly a disaster brewing.

But Chen Ye was unfazed.

With his current body, even if the heavens struck him directly with lightning, it wouldn't have much effect.

Even ordinary people have survived lightning strikes before. For someone like Chen Ye, being killed by lightning would be no easy feat.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to just stand outside and invite the lightning to strike him.

Just as he was about to close the door and head back inside, his peripheral vision caught a figure approaching from the left.

His eyesight was excellent.

After taking a closer look, he recognized the person—it was his junior brother, Zhao Zheng!

Chen Ye paused for a moment, then smiled and stayed at the door, waiting.

Zhao Zheng was walking very cautiously. Afraid of getting struck by lightning, he had wrapped himself in a layer of insulating plastic, who knows where he found it. He hugged the edge of the eaves, too scared to walk down the middle of the path.

Moments later, Zhao Zheng finally reached Chen Ye.

"Senior Brother!"

"Wow! I didn't expect to run into you here."

Chen Ye stepped aside, smiling. "Come in, we'll talk inside."

Zhao Zheng walked into the house, only then peeling off the plastic from his body.

Eagerly, he said, "Senior Brother, you need to leave quickly. The Time-Space Management Bureau is plotting against you. They're teaming up with several others to take you out first."

"Oh?" Chen Ye's eyes flashed, but he remained composed. "Don't rush. Take your time and explain."

Zhao Zheng said, "Senior Brother, you live here because the Time-Space Management Bureau forced you, right?"

Forced?

It didn't seem like that.

Chen Ye didn't bother with the details and simply nodded, then asked, "Did the Time-Space Management Bureau threaten you?"

Zhao Zheng replied, "Basically, all the travelers in this city, except for those who are dead or left early, have been forcibly relocated here by the Time-Space Management Bureau."

"Tell me about their plan against me."

"Half an hour ago, the person responsible for moving me here from the Time-Space Management Bureau gave me a task. The target is you, Senior Brother!" Zhao Zheng explained while taking out a photo and handing it to Chen Ye.

The man in the photo, bald and unmistakably Chen Ye.

Originally, Chen Ye had disguised his appearance, but when the Time-Space Management Bureau came knocking, he happened to be in a hotel without his wig. After that, he just didn't bother wearing it anymore.

Seeing Chen Ye take the photo, Zhao Zheng continued, "They definitely wouldn't only inform me. I suspect a lot of people have been given this same task."

Chen Ye nodded, his face still calm.

He didn't care how many small fries came to die!

What really piqued his interest was the fact that the Time-Space Management Bureau was resorting to dirty tricks against him.

In Chen Ye's mind, if they wanted his life, they better be ready to lose theirs!

"Where's the class rep?" Zhao Zheng asked.

"Oh, I sent her back first," Chen Ye replied. "This time, I'll be the main force and hold out until the end."

Zhao Zheng was surprised.

He had thought that Tang Zichen would be the one to stay. After all, Tang Zichen was the top student of their generation.

"Senior Brother, are there some foreign devils targeting the class rep? Is that why you sent her away first?" Zhao Zheng asked.

That was the only reason he could think of.

Chen Ye chuckled but didn't explain: "There are concerns about that, indeed."

"There's no time to waste, Senior Brother. You should leave quickly! Otherwise, if you get surrounded, it'll be too late to escape."

As soon as Zhao Zheng finished speaking—

Suddenly.

There was a flash outside.

It was lightning!

And right after came the rolling thunder.

"Boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder echoed, and then something started falling from the sky.

It wasn't rain!

It was hailstones, each the size of goose eggs!

Some were even larger than an adult's fist.

With the clouds so low in the sky, the impact of such large hailstones would be catastrophic!

This wasn't just hail—it was practically rocks falling from the sky!

"Thud!"

The first batch of hailstones smashed into Chen Ye's roof, piercing through it.

Although the house they were in was a simple wooden prefab, with only a sheet of metal on the roof, it still wasn't expected that the hail could tear through it so easily.

Zhao Zheng froze for a moment, then quickly shouted, "Senior Brother, get out of the way!"

He immediately darted to the side, pressing himself against the wall.

Chen Ye followed at a leisurely pace.

"Thump, thump, thump…"

The massive hailstones kept falling, and in just a few breaths, the entire house was riddled with holes.

With such a calamity, no one would have time to think about assassinating Chen Ye.

Everyone outside was doing whatever they could to stay alive.

And the hail kept getting bigger and more intense, showing no sign of stopping.

Moments later, a hailstone the size of a soccer ball came crashing down like a cannonball, leaving small craters in the ground.

It was an absurd sight!

Whatever mysterious force was targeting these time travelers, it clearly had no shame.

Zhao Zheng's face was pale.

With hail this ferocious, even though he was a third-tier warrior, a single misstep could mean death.

If one of these hailstones hit him in the head, he'd be done for!

As the hail grew more and more violent, his hiding spot had become completely exposed, and he had already been struck a few times. Getting hit in the head was only a matter of time.

"Senior Brother!!"

Zhao Zheng slapped away a massive hailstone headed for him and shouted, "I don't think I can hold on any longer. I'm heading back. Take care, and if things get too bad, retreat as well!"

"Wait!"

Chen Ye quickly called out and said, "Just one more night, and it will be three full days. Let's wait until then before leaving."

Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly, "I would love to hold on until the fourth day, but..."

"Junior Brother, don't worry!" Chen Ye smiled reassuringly. "Leave everything to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking—

"Whoosh!"

Blazing flames ignited on Chen Ye's fist.

In the next moment, he punched towards the sky!

The ground beneath his feet trembled with the impact!

A fiery punch!

"Whoosh!"

A loud rush of air followed.

A gigantic fiery fist, nearly twenty meters wide, shot up like a rocket, tearing through the air and heading straight towards the dark clouds overhead.

Every hailstone in its path was pulverized.

With the threat of hail eliminated, Zhao Zheng instantly felt a weight lift off his shoulders.

He looked up, dumbfounded, staring at the massive fire punch in the sky, his mind momentarily blank.

The power of his Senior Brother's move...

It must have reached the destructive power of a fifth-tier attack, right?

...

Name: Chen Ye

Physique: 2673

Spirit: 854

Strength: 2673

Agility: 2673

Talent: Saitama Physique

Available Potential: 0

These were Chen Ye's current attributes.

The 200 potential points he had earned from the global secret realm had all been allocated to his Spirit attribute.

Zhao Zheng wasn't wrong.

With the combination of his Senior Brother's fire ability and his punches, the destructive force had definitely reached fifth-tier standards!

Moreover, as his Spirit attribute increased, Chen Ye's fire ability also grew much stronger.

Chen Ye's fire punch lasted for more than a full minute in the sky before gradually dissipating.

The effect was truly terrifying.

Yet Chen Ye sighed.

He had hoped to blow the clouds away with just one punch!

Clearly, his current strength still wasn't enough.

Both his punch and his fire ability were still lacking.

Give him six more months, and he was confident he'd be able to scatter the clouds with one punch.

"Junior Brother, hide under the bed. Leave the rest to me."

Chen Ye spoke calmly, "With me here, you'll definitely make it to the fourth day!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng didn't hesitate and crawled under the bed.

Although he had many questions, he knew now was not the time for them.

For the reward of lasting one more day and earning potential points, hiding under the bed was a small price to pay for Zhao Zheng.

As for the fear of being killed by hail under the bed?

Zhao Zheng had absolute trust in his Senior Brother!

After Zhao Zheng hid under the bed, the hailstorm resumed its assault.

With the bed blocking his view, Zhao Zheng couldn't see anything.

However, he could hear the constant "thud, thud, thud" sounds outside.

It was the sound of hailstones being shattered by his Senior Brother.

...

For Zhao Zheng, this night felt incredibly long.

The hailstorm never stopped!

The local world consciousness had shamelessly resorted to all means to eliminate these time travelers.

Who knows how much time passed before Zhao Zheng finally heard his Senior Brother's voice.

"Junior Brother, the clouds have dispersed. You can come out now!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng stretched his stiff limbs and crawled out from under the bed.

The sky had already brightened!

The previously sky-covering dark clouds were slowly dispersing.

The gentle sunlight now bathed the earth, allowing Zhao Zheng to finally see the chaos outside.

Almost all the wooden prefabs in the area were smashed to pieces. Everywhere he looked, there were huge chunks of hail scattered around. The ground was pockmarked with craters, a scene of utter devastation.

Besides the destruction, Zhao Zheng could also see several corpses in the distance, beaten and mangled beyond recognition by the hail...

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng was shocked and couldn't help but say, "Weren't large-scale natural disasters supposed to start from the fourth day? Why did it begin yesterday?"

"We got tricked by the Time-Space Management Bureau! They intentionally placed four people nearby, knowing that if even one person wandered into another's area, it would trigger an early disaster."

At this, Chen Ye's eyes turned cold.

From the perspective of the Time-Space Management Bureau, Chen Ye could understand why they would resort to such tactics.

If he were a native of this world, he too would want all these time travelers dead!

But that didn't change the fact that Chen Ye was now planning his revenge against the Time-Space Management Bureau.

Understanding was one thing.

Daring to plot against him meant they'd have to face his wrath!

"Junior Brother, there are about two or three hours left until the three-day mark. Once the time comes, you should return," Chen Ye said calmly. "After that, even bigger problems will arise."
