Chapter 959: No Man's Land

Because it is located in the west, even though it is a forest, the trees inside are not towering ancient trees like those in the plains; calling it a forest, it is actually more appropriate to call it a jungle.

Deepening into the forest for several dozen kilometers, the further one walks, the sparser the trees become, and the surface of the ground also presents a hint of earthy yellow color; the plants here have already turned somewhat yellow due to the climate and lack of water.

"Rest for a bit?" Seeing fine beads of sweat seeping out on Yu Sichen's forehead, Chen Yu asked.

"Okay." Yu Sichen nodded, and the two went to a small stream, intending to rest here and eat something.

Chen Yu brought plenty of supplies, but he did not want to eat those dry, tasteless things; he ran to the small stream, picked up a few pebbles, gathered his Qi, and threw them into the water with force, and two fish floated to the surface.

Chen Yu scooped out the fish, cleaned them, gutted them, then took out a rack, sprinkled on seasonings, lit a fire, and began to roast the fish.

A moment later, a mouth-watering aroma wafted from the fish; although Chen Yu was not a professional chef, he roasted them quite decently.

"Wow, Brother Chen, you are truly amazing; you must really like wilderness survival." Yu Sichen clapped and cheered.

"Actually, if I have the chance, I really want to try it, to integrate into nature and live a primitive life; it is extremely beneficial for one's state of mind and Cultivation." Chen Yu smiled: "The fish is ready, taste it and see how it is."

He handed over a piece of fish, and Yu Sichen took it, tore off a little to put in her mouth, and then she nodded repeatedly: "Delicious, very fresh and tasty."

"These are proper wild fish, and because the climate in this place is cold, the fat on the fish is thick, so they are especially delicious when roasted." Chen Yu smiled and tore off a piece for himself, putting it in his mouth.

Just as the two were eating with great relish, a group of people came over.

The person leading them was an old man; because this place is located on a plateau, he was already somewhat oxygen-deprived, with young people on his left and right supporting him, and he was holding an oxygen pillow in his arms, inhaling oxygen as he walked.

Behind him followed two men and two women, carrying backpacks on their backs and holding photographic equipment in their hands; they should be a scientific expedition team, though it was unclear what exactly they were doing.

"Professor Yang, there are people here." A man behind saw Chen Yu and Yu Sichen and walked over: "Let's rest here for a bit."

"Good, good." That Professor surnamed Yang was sixty or seventy years old; doing scientific research here was practically playing with his Life. He was supported by others as he sat down, panting incessantly.

"Greetings to you both, are you here for tourism and exploration?" The man who spoke walked up and greeted Chen Yu.

"You could say that." Chen Yu nodded: "Are you all here for research?"

"Yes, my name is Wu Yu, I am responsible for security; those two supporting the professor are my subordinates, Tiedan and Ermao." The man smiled: "Private entry is prohibited here; you are in violation of the rules. Walk a bit further to see the scenery and then hurry back, otherwise there will be danger."

"Alright, we understand." Chen Yu nodded; looking at Wu Yu's appearance, he should be from the military, and judging by his speech, demeanor, and the calluses on his hands, he was definitely not from an ordinary military background.

It seems this project is not an ordinary project; the security level is very high.

That professor and the two female students had poor physical fitness and were too tired to speak, but it was the last man who caught Chen Yu's attention.

This man had a dark complexion, a lecherous Appearance, and was ugly; he kept glancing at the two female students, and when he looked at Yu Sichen, a surge of lewd and evil aura emerged in his eyes.

He was wearing handcuffs on his hands and should have been brought out from the Prison; after he saw Yu Sichen, his eyes were fixed straight on her and could no longer move away.

Yu Sichen was somewhat unhappy because this man's gaze was too disgusting, as if he could strip a person's clothes off.

Chen Yu locked his brows; he pinched off a blade of grass with his right hand and then fiercely flicked it toward that man.

With a *poof* sound, the grass blade exploded; that man had been staring straight at Yu Sichen, but the explosion of the grass blade caused him intense pain in both eyes, and he let out a miserable shriek, covering his eyes.

"Zhang Yang, what is wrong with you again?" Wu Yu, who was distributing dry rations, knitted his brows and looked at the man.

"That brat attacked me, Wu Yu, arrest him." The lecherous man roared.

"Who attacked you? How come I didn't see it? Behave yourself; bringing you out from the Prison this time is to let you atone for your crimes through service. If you dare to ruin things, don't even think about getting out of there for the rest of your life." Wu Yu glared fiercely at the man.

Zhang Yang rubbed his eyes and glared at Chen Yu with hatred, but Chen Yu returned a warning look, and this guy was so frightened that his hands trembled, and he dared not look at Chen Yu again.

"Eat something." Zhou Yu handed Zhang Yang a piece of compressed biscuit.

"Take off my handcuffs, and besides, I want to eat meat. I will die if I don't eat meat in this kind of hellish place. Why do you guys have beef jerky to eat? I can only eat compressed biscuits?" Zhang Yang said angrily.

"Don't eat it then." Wu Yu threw the biscuit on the ground and stepped on it fiercely.

"Wu Yu, what right do you have to treat him like this? He is also a human, he has human rights." A woman was displeased; she stood up abruptly and pushed Wu Yu away.

"Sorry, in our Mingshan Prison, no one has human rights. Zhang Yan, if you knew what he had done, you wouldn't stop me from treating him this way." Wu Yu sneered.

"Mingshan Prison?" Chen Yu couldn't help but take another look at these people.

This prison is located in the northwest, built on a barren Mountain; there is no human habitation for a hundred miles around, and it is said that those locked inside are all extremely vicious people.

"So what? The law also emphasizes human rights; treating him like this is just wrong." Zhang Yan should be a female college student who just graduated; her conduct and style were rigid and by the book.

She took out her own beef jerky and handed it to Zhang Yang: "Eat mine."

"Miss Zhang, thank you so much, you are really good to me." Zhang Yang put on a look of being flattered: "Whoever marries you as a wife would be truly blessed."

Zhang Yan's face flushed slightly; after all, she was a female college student who had not seen much of the world. A single sentence from this hardened criminal made her blush.

"Take off the handcuffs." Zhang Yan turned back and said to Wu Yu.

"Don't even think about it." Wu Yu said coldly: "This guy is full of tricks; if I let him run away, I cannot bear that responsibility."

"This is the Wurenqu, the climate is very harsh, he doesn't have anything on him, where could he run to?" Zhang Yan said angrily: "He can't survive here alone, what are you worried about?"

"It is you who cannot survive here, it does not mean others cannot survive." Chen Yu could not watch anymore; is this woman a saint?
