After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chapter 561: Chapter 561 Urgent Rescue

Chen Yu became tense all of a sudden, subconsciously letting the system out.

Several palm-sized scorpions suddenly appeared in his mind.

In his memory, scorpions were never this big.

What shocked him the most was that these scorpions could fly.

[Detected radiation genes, S-grade synthetic venom]

A storm of shock surged in Chen Yu’s heart; this meant that the scorpions flying in the sky were artificially synthesized, and even the toxins in their bodies had been injected by humans.

“Tell everyone to hide and stay still, don’t move!”

After quickly giving the instructions, he ran directly out of the shanty area.

Ba Wan’s eyes were wide with sheer panic.

“Mr. Chen, please don’t go, these scorpions are very dangerous. If they bite you, you’ll turn into pus and blood immediately,”

Although Ba Wan was shouting at the top of his lungs, Chen Yu’s figure had already disappeared into the night.@@novelbin@@

The residents of the shanty town were all startled and began sticking their heads out to see what was happening outside. When they saw Ba Wan, they instantly became tense.

“What are you still doing outside? Hurry up and come in. Do you want to be bitten to death by those scorpions?”

Ba Wan didn’t know what to do, his fear had reached its peak, yet he worried about Chen Yu’s safety.

Just then, the sky suddenly shimmered with a vast expanse of blue and white light, followed by the smell of burning.

Before the crowd could react, a heap of scorpion corpses rained down from the sky, and Chen Yu also descended.

“This area is safe now. Notify everyone to come out, and hurry to distribute the medicine,”

Ba Wan watched, dumbfounded. It was the first time he had seen someone take down the scorpions so effortlessly.

These creatures were extremely tricky, with strong venom and powerful attacks, and even their shells were bulletproof.

The city patrols had tried countless methods, but to no avail. They could only let the scorpions roam freely.

In the years when scorpions entered the city, everyone would go into a defensive mode, hiding obediently at home.

Chen Yu patted Ba Wan on the shoulder.

“What are you staring for? Go on, hurry up. I just cleared the scorpions in this area. It won’t be long before others from different places come over!”

Not daring to delay any further, Ba Wan quickly gathered the people of the shanty town to come out and collect herbs by the truck.

Chen Yu didn’t idle either. He found some simple bottles and started collecting the scorpions that had fallen to the ground.

These creatures were indeed difficult to deal with; Chen Yu had just stunned them with electricity, and killing them was not an easy task.

After taking the scorpions back, Chen Yu took one out and placed it on the table. He touched its back shell with a finger, releasing a blue and white light continuously.

Although the outer shell was extremely hard, it also conducted electricity, making it easy to release electric light into its body.

Before long, the room was filled with an extremely strong burnt smell.

Ba Xiu was shivering, hiding to one side.

“These things are very dangerous. Before, people in the shanty area were bitten to death because they didn’t secure their doors and windows properly,”

Chen Yu didn’t say much, he simply tore the scorpion in half.

The prolonged electric shock had damaged the scorpion’s internal structure and even its external shell had become extremely fragile.

After briefly analyzing the scorpion’s internal toxins with the system, Chen Yu abruptly stood up, suddenly recalling the radiation poisoning he had seen in the hospital.

He was almost certain that this type of scorpion had been released within Sky Sand City.

At that moment, the few scorpions that had just been captured showed signs of reviving. Chen Yu immediately extended his finger to release a blue-white arc of electricity, completely enveloping the scorpions and utterly destroying their internal structure.

The medicinal herbs that had been pulled in had all been distributed, and the residents of the shantytown had gathered at the entrance of Ba Wan’s house.

“Mr. Chen, how should we use these medicinal herbs?”

Chen Yu didn’t say much, he simply took a packet of herbs from a pouch he was holding.

“These have already been dried by the wind. All you need to do is take them home, grind them into a powder, and eat it dissolved in water,” he said.

The people present trusted him implicitly and dared not delay, hurrying back to their homes.

Chen Yu took the few packets of medicine he had set aside, crushed them into a powder, and climbed up to the nearby water tower, tossing the packets into it.

Judging by the health of all the residents, there must have been a problem with the drinking water.

In the desert, finding the source of an underground water vein was extremely difficult, so he could only solve the issue with the water in the tower for the time being.

After taking the medicine, everyone’s health improved, but in this kind of environment, many people had some chronic underlying illnesses.

Chen Yu could only go from house to house treating them, busying himself until the next morning.

“Quick, search the entire area, call our people out and then burn this damned place down.”

Sudden commotion arose from not far away; Sky Sand City’s patrol team had already surrounded the entire shantytown.

After making sure an old man was settled, Chen Yu hurried out.

The two patrol members he had seen the day before, upon seeing Chen Yu, tried to take him away.

“Damn, brother, you spent a whole night in this hellhole and you’re still alive? You’re one lucky guy! Hurry up, we’re about to burn this place down soon.”

Chen Yu frowned, and with the situation at hand, he no longer needed to hide. Raising his palm, he released a burst of blue-white electric light, instantly knocking the two men to the ground.

The other patrol members nearby were stunned by this scene.

Before they could react, Chen Yu’s body moved towards them like a bolt of lightning.

In the open area outside the shantytown, several modified off-road vehicles were parked, with a great number of patrol members gathered around, carrying flamethrowers in their hands.

A burly man with a full beard, looking somewhat fierce and ferocious, sat in one of the vehicles, his legs propped on the steering wheel, lazily puffing on a cigar.

“The people inside are taking too damn long, aren’t they? It’s been half a day; why haven’t they sent up a signal yet?”

A person beside him approached obsequiously.

“Captain, don’t you worry. The scorpions caused such a ruckus last night, maybe everyone inside is already dead, and the boys are just dealing with the bodies,” they said.

“Do they even need to bother with that?” the big man jumped down from the vehicle, “In my eyes, there’s no living person in this place. It would be simpler to burn it all down, why even bother searching inside!”

While they were talking, several yellow signal flares soared up from the center of the shantytown, exploding one after another.

All the patrol members present immediately tensed up—this was an emergency distress signal!
