I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 84 The List (I)

There was a heavy downpour.

On the boulevard in the city center, Chen Yiming walked forward, stepping on small puddles from time to time, splashing the water around.

Large raindrops fell through the gaps between the leaves and landed on his body. He did not dare to use his internal force to repel them, so he was completely drenched.

It was still during working hours, and there were a large number of pedestrians on the road. Almost everyone was holding an umbrella.

Chen Yiming’s drenched appearance caused many people to turn around and glance at him before they continued on their way. None of them stopped.

“Did something big happen in East Lake City again?” Chen Yiming muttered. He could tell from the expressions of the passers-by that there was a sense of urgency in the air.

The most important thing for ordinary people out and about at this time was their work. If they were in a hurry, it meant that they did not dare to be late.

In other words, their jobs were unstable and they were at risk of being laid off at any time.

“The war in the west has just ended. Logically speaking, there should be many jobs going around, and various industries should be starting to recover.

At this time, there should be mass hiring. As long as an ordinary person is healthy, they won’t have to worry about not being able to find a job.” Chen Yiming analyzed in his heart.

He quickly threw this matter to the back of his mind and continued on his way home.

It didn’t take long.

He turned at an intersection and walked for less than a hundred meters. He had returned to the Jinghu district.

The entrance of the district was still the same. A guard was in charge of checking the identities of the people who had entered the district, and a security team led by a captain was patrolling the area.

Chen Yiming walked over and was about to greet the guard and enter the district.

“Chen Yiming, are you a ghost?” the guard blurted out when he saw who it was.

He was about to move back, but in his haste to get up, he slipped and fell.

Chen Yiming was stunned. His raised hand froze in midair.

The commotion attracted the attention of the security team. “Xiao Zhang, what’s going on?” the security captain quickly walked over and asked. The higher-ups of the corporation had just issued a document asking the security team captains to be on guard to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and sneaking into the district.

The guard called Xiao Zhang felt that his mind became clearer after the fall. He quickly got up and exhaled. “It’s nothing. I was just thinking too much.”

“Then I’ll go straight in,” Chen Yiming said in a low voice.

On the surface, he was an expert who had undergone six transformations. He had only greeted the guard out of courtesy. Even if he walked straight in and was seen by the guard, the guard would not dare to say anything

“Please go ahead,” The guard, Xiao Zhang, nodded and quickly pointed an electronic remote control at the door and pressed a button on it.

The door moved slowly, stopping only when it was fully open.

Chen Yiming strode into the district and disappeared into the rain.

A few minutes after he had left, Xiao Zhang and the security captain were still standing at the same spot.

“I remember that Chen Yiming appeared on the list of people who had died two days ago. I didn’t expect him to return alive,” the security captain whispered.

“Isn’t that so? When I was on duty yesterday, I saw the Chen family holding a funeral for Chen Yiming. Chen Yiming’s mother was crying on the ground for almost an hour,” the guard, Xiao Zhang, replied softly.

Building 6, Room 1203.

Ding dong…

Chen Yiming stood in front of the door and raised his hand to press the doorbell.

Even after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door.

“Mom, I’m back. Open the door!” Chen Yiming shouted as he knocked on the door.

He was afraid that the people inside could not hear him, so he deliberately raised his volume so that almost the entire building could hear him.

In the house, the three members of the Chen family were still sleeping.

In the past two days, the Chen family had received news of Chen Yiming’s death, and they had sunk into a spiral of pain and grief.

They could not fall asleep all night and were using this time in the morning to rest.

This was especially true for Mother Chen. The moment she closed her eyes, she imagined a bloody scene. Chen Yiming, who had run out of energy, was suddenly chased by a group of mutant beasts that had appeared from the forest. In the next moment, he was torn to pieces and eaten by the beasts.

“No!” Mother Chen suddenly woke up from her dream and sat up immediately.

She was still in an extremely nervous state due to her dream. Her entire body was trembling slightly, and she was drenched in sweat.

“Did you have another nightmare?” Father Chen also woke up and turned to her with concern.

He was also extremely sad that his son had died in an accident. However, as the only man left in the family, he could only suppress the pain in his heart and try his best to appear calm and collected.

“It sounds like our son,” Mother Chen suddenly said as she took several deep breaths.

Father Chen had initially thought that Mother Chen was hallucinating. The two of them waited quietly for a few seconds before they heard a knock on the door.

However, the shouting was blocked out by two doors and could not be heard clearly.

Father Chen and Mother Chen got out of bed quickly. They were not even concerned that they were still in their pajamas and just draped on their coats. They opened the bedroom door and walked straight to the main door of the house.

At the entrance of the house, Chen Yiming had shouted twice, but still, no one answered the door.

“Could it be that no one is home?”

Just as he was about to go downstairs to ask the guard about the situation, the door suddenly opened and Father Chen and Mother Chen appeared.

Father Chen looked much older than before, with a lot of white hair on his head.

There were still tears in the corners of Mother Chen’s eyes. Her hair was a mess, and she looked like she had not washed her hair for several days.

Before Chen Yiming could speak, Mother Chen asked in surprise, “Son, you’re still alive. Am I dreaming?” She pinched her cheek and felt the pain from the pinch.

“Why did everyone think I was dead? What happened during the week I was gone?” Chen Yiming asked.

He did not expect that the two consecutive battles at the warrior realm would cause the mutant beasts in the Nuhe Mountain Range to completely give up on the idea of observing the situation from the outskirts of the mountain range.

This was especially true of the second wave of the battle between Chen Yiming and the mother beast. It affected the entire central region of the mountain range, and wherever the two had fought, the ground was scorched black.

When the mutant beasts that were still at the outskirts of the mountain range saw this, they ran out of the mountain range without hesitation. Along the way, any humans they encountered would be treated as an enemy.

They either tore apart the humans blocking their way or were scattered by the human martial arts experts. The scattered mutant beasts continued to charge out of the mountain range. “Why are you still standing at the door? Let’s go inside and talk,” Father Chen urged as he turned around and walked into the living

room.

The three of them had just sat down when the door to the innermost room suddenly opened. Chen Yingying ran out.

“Brother, I just couldn’t believe what those people said. I knew you would definitely be able to return safely,” Chen Yingying said angrily as she sat on the sofa beside Chen Yiming

“What happened?” Chen Yiming asked.

“The day before yesterday, the list of people who had died during the sudden beast tide incident was released. Your name was on it…” Chen Yingying told him all the information that she had seen and heard over the past week.

“I see.” Chen Yiming nodded.

From what his sister said, he had roughly figured out the truth of the matter.

He was partially responsible for this small-scale beast tide incident. The other half of the blame was on the other three warriors. After all, they were the ones who had made the first move.
