Chapter 91: I Have an Idea [1]
Inside the alternate dimension of the Door-Door Fruit, only Ling Yue and Sailuo were present.
"Where are Dragon Aotian and the others?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.
Ling Yue's expression was grim. "We were ambushed by Captain Chu He the moment we left the alternate dimension."
"They were all thrown inside the high walls. Only I managed to escape."
Ling Yue paused, stammering slightly, "I... I was worried... I was afraid you couldn't beat them, so I came back to support you."
"Captain Chu?" Chen Yu glanced back. Seeing that Su Qingyu hadn't given chase, a hypothesis formed in his mind.
"I'm fine. You probably guessed it too."
First, it was the muscular bull-man, then Su Qingyu, and now Chu He.
Clearly, any of them had the ability to instantly wipe the students out, yet they deliberately held back and herded them in a specific direction.
"They seem to be intentionally driving us toward the high walls!" Chen Yu said, pointing into the distance.
"Let's go in too. Let's see what they're planning."
Ling Yue nodded and followed Chen Yu.
At the end of the bamboo forest, the greenish-grey high wall was already visible. A stone barrier, dozens of meters high, stood erect before them.
From inside the walls, the faint noise of students arguing could be heard.
Above, watching the two enter the high wall, Su Qingyu spoke into her communicator: "They're in. As expected, it takes the Captain of the Silver Fox Squad to get things done!"
Chu He's voice came through the headset: "Yes, yes, Captain Su is amazing."
Su Qingyu harrumphed, suppressing the corners of her mouth that were threatening to curl upward.
Chu He continued, "Alright, Lin Jun, keep an eye on them. Next, it's up to them."
Suddenly, a door appeared on the inner side of the high wall.
Chen Yu pushed the door open and walked out. A smell mixed with sweat, dust, and magma assaulted his nose.
Basically, all the students of the training camp were here. Some were hiding in tree hollows, trembling all over.
Some leaned against tree trunks, rubbing their injured arms.
There were also several Combat Department students surrounding Su Qingqing and He Yan, asking questions all at once.
"Chen Yu? You came in too?" Su Qingqing was the first to see him and walked over quickly.
Beside her, He Yan had strips of cloth wrapped around his arms.
Jin Ling'er was using the Float-Float Fruit to manipulate bandages, wrapping the head of the unconscious Gong Wei.
All four of them looked heavily injured.
"It's a long story." Chen Yu found Dragon Aotian and the other two. "Let's rest and regroup first."
"Aisha?" Chen Yu looked at Princess Aisha on Ling Yue's shoulder. "Can you heal them? Will it damage your lifespan?"
"Leave it to this Princess." Aisha patted her chest. "Simple healing won't damage my lifespan."
A warm healing light lit up. The wounds on Dragon Aotian and the others recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they soon regained consciousness.
This operation instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding students.
"Whoa! A Goddess! You must be a Goddess!"
"Please, you must heal me!"
"Please order me to do anything!"
"I'm willing to pay any price!"
Injured students knelt before Aisha one after another.
Chen Yu stared blankly at this scene. "What are you guys doing?"
A student with a broken thigh cried out, "I don't want to die yet!"
"Those men in black are too brutal! If I drag this broken leg around, I'll definitely die at their hands!"
His wailing resonated with the surrounding students.
They all began to recount their absolute reasons for not dying.
"If I die, what will happen to my mom!"
"My cute Shasha is still waiting for me to go back!"
"I haven't even watched the study materials I just downloaded!"
"I don't want to die a Xiao Chunan (virgin loser)..."
There seemed to be some strange things mixed in, but it didn't affect Chen Yu's judgment of their situation.
Perhaps the Silver Fox Squad's acting was too realistic, or perhaps they were infected by the atmosphere of the escape.
This group didn't seem to have realized yet that this was a test orchestrated by the training camp.
"Heh heh heh." Chen Yu revealed a malicious smile and whispered something to Sailuo on his shoulder.
Then, he put on a troubled expression. "Our Aisha works very hard to heal people. It consumes a massive amount of stamina."
"Huh? I didn't..." Aisha tried to clarify, but Sailuo covered her mouth.
"Princess!! Please don't force yourself! Your body can't take it anymore!"
Seeing the two of them singing this duet, Ling Yue pursed her lips and said nothing. She gently hugged Aisha, a distressed expression on her face.
Aisha: Eh?!!
"Consumes stamina? Then what do we do!" The student with the broken leg who had just finished crying panicked instantly. He scrambled to grab the corner of Chen Yu's shirt but was blocked by Zhuge Jing.
Zhuge Jing had seen through Chen Yu's intentions the moment he woke up. Hiding a smile in his eyes, he didn't expose him.
Chen Yu rubbed his hands together, looking very conflicted. "It's not that I'm unreasonable. You all saw it. Aisha just saved us, and her face is pale."
Aisha: Actually, Sister Ling Yue is hugging me a little too tight.
"If she really has to continue healing, can we let her rest first? After all, I don't have anything on me to replenish stamina."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was silent for two seconds. Then someone reacted and shouted urgently, "I have some! I have some here! I have formulated nutritional agents. They are specially made to quickly recover physical strength!"
Saying that, he pulled out a shining silver syringe from his backpack and handed it to Chen Yu.
"I am a student of the Academic Department. Please rest assured about the pharmaceutical preparation."
"Nutritional agents are nice, but how can Princess Aisha rely on just that?" Sailuo leaned in, shaking his head. "Healing consumes a lot of mental energy too. We need things that can calm the mind and replenish the spirit."
"Mental energy? I have that!"
After someone started it, more people threw out their bargaining chips.
"Is money okay?" A student with glasses looked pale but grit his teeth and took out a metal wallet. Inside was a thick stack of Alliance currency.
"I have three thousand Star Coins here! Is it enough to cure my arm?"
"Enough! More than enough!" Chen Yu's eyes lit up. He quickly took the wallet and stuffed it into his chest, then winked at Ling Yue. "Put this classmate on the list first. Heal him with priority later!"
Seeing his success, the panic of being found by the men in black overwhelmed the students' reluctance to part with their wealth. Everyone began to rummage for valuable items on their bodies.
"This is made of Exotic Beast wolf fangs. It can block one fatal attack. Count... count this as my medical fee!"
"This is a Deep Sea Cold Pearl. It can effectively restrain ability users and can also replenish Princess Aisha's spirit!"
Chen Yu was so busy his feet barely touched the ground. In no time, a pile of items accumulated inside Sailuo's alternate dimension.
Money, accessories, ability props, and even two custom-made daggers piled up half a person high.
The corners of Chen Yu's mouth were almost curled up to his ears. "Alright, alright, don't rush, everyone! One by one!"
"For the sake of everyone's sincerity, Princess Aisha will help everyone heal, even if she gets a little tired!"
One Kun-hour (2.5 hours) later, the healing was completed.
Aisha was indeed exhausted.
Chen Yu's gang of scammers didn't rush to divide the spoils. Instead, they approached Su Qingqing and her group.
"Have you guys noticed? Those 'Men in Black' didn't intend to kill us at all."
He didn't lower his voice intentionally, and the surrounding students instantly quieted down.
A student froze and said subconsciously, "But... that instructor earlier, his head was chopped off. Blood splattered all over my face..."
"That was likely some kind of visual trick." Chen Yu shook his head. "I fought two of them just now. I'm basically certain that the Men in Black are actually our Alliance's Silver Fox Squad."
"Think about it. It's been so long. Has anyone actually died? At most, people are unconscious or injured. There isn't a single corpse."
"The Silver Fox Squad?!"
"It's fake?"
The students looked at each other, realization gradually dawning on them.
Earlier in the dormitory building, although the blood of the "beheaded" instructor looked realistic, no one had actually touched the corpse.
After that fortress giant surrounded them, they had just been sitting there for two and a half hours.
