Dark Blood Age

Chapter 69



Chapter 69: Chapter 69 I believe him

“Commander! Commander!” a sentry, who was holding a gun, running towards Commander Du anxiously, he quickly gave commander Du a military salute and then whispered to his ear, “Commander, all the insects’ bodies have gone missing!!”

“What!” Commander Du snapped, that was more than thirty red-shelled insects’ bodies, how could it suddenly go missing?

The sentry tried to lower his voice and said with concern, “I saw Mr. Chu went in there, then the bodies disappeared after he came out!”

Commander Du instantly raised his head and looked at Chu Yunsheng, who had already passed them and was now walking towards the meeting room.

He was in a great shock, ‘what did he do? Don’t tell me that his way of leveling up is to eat those monsters’ bodies?’ When he thought of those monster’s disgusting bodies and the possibility that Chu Yunsheng had gobbled up those bodies, he almost threw up!

But then he quickly adjusted his emotions and facial expressions. No matter he was a human or a monster, as long as he was on his side, then they would still be allies. He took a deep breath and told the sentry sternly, “do not tell anyone else about his, it is now the top secret. From now on, the back of the building will only be guarded by you. Do not interrupt Mr. Chu, whatever he does, just leave him alone!”

“Yes, sir!” sentry gritted his teeth and answered. There was a sign of determination in his eyes.

“You may leave now!” Commander Du waved his hand and said. He felt powerless, but he still needed to explain Chu Yunsheng’s situation to those eight newly recruited awakened warriors

Those new recruits were pissed off by the way Chu Yunsheng ignored their questions. They were all saying that they would not take part in the plan of destroying the fog walls. There was no way they would fight for the military, without knowing Chu Yunsheng could actually do something. Some people even asked the commander if they could fight Chu Yunsheng in a duel.

“Duel!?” a sound suddenly came from the doorway, it was Yao Xiang, who has been assigned with the mission to hunt red-eyed monsters, and he just came back from outside.

Yao Xiang was an honest man, he did not know how to talk to people euphemistically, so he simply said, “want a duel! Brother Chu definitely won’t do it, but it is not that he is scared of you all, probably, he is scared that he will hurt your guys. After all, I have never seen anyone who could survive his sword attack, whether it was a monster or a human!”

The skinny old man knitted his brow and interrupted him, “young man, if you want to brag, at least make it more believable, sword? We have eight people, and eight pairs of eyes, but none of them saw any swords, not even a piece of metal!”

Yao Xiang has been following Chu Yunsheng for a while now, he has already seen many of Chu Yunsheng’s strange abilities, but he would not easily disclose those secrets to others. He just carried on, “I am just reminding you, whether you believe it or not, it is entirely up to you. I would never lie! I bet you with my head that even if all of you are fighting against him, the last person remaining standing would still be him! ”

“Commander, I believe Yao Xiang, so I believe Mr. Chu’s ability,” an military officer, who was wearing the one-bar and three-star epaulet stood out and said sternly.

Commander Du nodded his head.

Then a lot of awakened warriors from the military also stood out saying that they agreed with him.

The skinny old man sneered, but it was not good for him to carry on questioning. After all, the troops had more people, and all of them believed in Chu Yunsheng’s ability, if he carried on asking questions, they would consider him as questioning the military, not Chu Yunsheng!

Meanwhile, Chu Yunsheng was smoking cigarettes and standing in a corner of the meeting room quietly. Scientists’ deductions and calculations were complicated, plus there weren’t any computers to help them do the calculation, so the progress was very slow. That was why he still needed to wait for some time to get the new channel map.

The meeting room was illuminated by the candlelight, those candles were gathered by the troops from everywhere inside the city. In the flickering candlelight professors seemed to be unusually busy and tired, some of them, who could not bear the tiredness, just slept on a bed that was made of several chairs combined together. They were doing their best to draw the channels as soon as possible.

Chu Yunsheng was affected by them, he also made a big yawn after watching them for quite some time. Forcing himself to stay awake, he started to cultivate Yuan Qi.

Since last time he sensed something from the preliminary model, he started to pay attention to the Yuan Qi circulation inside his body. He wanted to observe the directions Yuan Qi circulated inside his body, its status, strength, and fluctuations, and lastly how his body reacted to it.

This was a very exhausting activity. In just less than an hour, Chu Yunsheng could no longer carry on cultivating Yuan Qi. He seemed to have felt something, but when he tried to grasp that feeling, there was nothing there. There were still too many things he did not understand.

He could not help but think about those novels he read during the age of light. Those people would spend days or years cultivating Qi and they didn’t even need to sleep. However, only until he started to cultivate Yuan Qi did he realize how difficult it was. If he just cultivated Yuan Qi, he could do it continuously for six hours, but if he needed to observe and understand every detail and step during the cultivation, just like what he did before, then just after one hour, he would start to have extremely painful headaches.

He could not help but sigh, and then opened his eyes, but in the next second, he almost had a heart attack. Professor Sun was sitting in front of him and smiling at him, but he did not realise it. His ardent eyes were burning with curiosity making Chu Yunsheng’s hair stand on end!

“What do you want?” Chu Yunsheng forced Yuan Qi inside his body to calm down and said.

Professor Sun waved his hand, “nothing, I am just curious. Oh, right! Are you scared of seeing dead bodies?”

Chu Yunsheng did not understand what he was saying. He was puzzled.

He has seen so many dead bodies that he did not even know how many exactly. From Shen Cheng city to here, not a single road was without bodies.

Seeing Chu Yunsheng did not have any reaction, the professor explained in a low voice. “not the regular dead bodies, it is the autopsied bodies, they are the bodies of those bandits you killed that day.”

Chu Yunsheng was startled that he instantly stood up from the chair. His expression instantly changed and his eyes were very cold, he almost wanted to activate the armor!

He always had a good impression of this old man. Not only because this old man was not a petty-minded person, but also he respected the soldiers that were protecting him, he always tried his best to repay those soldiers.

This old man always said that researchers were not like what he thought were, they would never autopsy awakened warriors, and he believed him!

But now this old man suddenly told him that they had autopsied Gan Ziqiang and his men! Although Gan Ziqiang was his enemy, Gan Ziqiang could also use Yuan Qi just like him. Today, they autopsied Gan Ziqiang. Tomorrow, it will probably become some people’s case study. And in the future, the one that was lying there waiting to be autopsied would probably be him!

Chu Yunsheng regretted his choice. He probably has been staying with them for too long, it made him become careless. He even thought that those people were very friendly. How could he be so stupid to let down his guard and cultivate Yuan Qi next to them?

Moreover, he did it even without anyone he could trust to guard him. What if they wanted to study him, probably, he would be dead already.

Seeing Chu Yunsheng’s expression all of sudden, professor Sun quickly waved his hand, “Xiao Chu, do not be so anxious, listen to me…”

Chu Yunsheng tried to calm himself down, he tried to tell himself that he was thinking too much. Commander Du and those scientists still needed him to escape this city, there was no way that they would hurt him!

But why would the world become like this!?

He had seen people break other people’s legs, just so they could run away from an insect’s attack!

He had also seen a kind-hearted little girl trying to share her food with a starving man, but she was coldly stabbed to death and her food was taken away by that man!

He had seen a group of awakened warriors helping their teammates without any hesitation when an overwhelming amount of red-eyed monsters were attacking them!

He had seen people in an overloaded car killing each other and dumping bodies outside the car when they were chased by the monsters!

He had seen people using half of a bread to lure fellow human beings into a trap and use their bodies to make a bomb to kill those meat worms like thug Jiang!

He had seen too many of those kinds of things, every time it left a fear deep inside his mind. He was just an ordinary man in the age of light, his life was ordinary and mediocre like other people.

Since the dark age began, with just an ordinary people’s mindset, he has endured one tragedy after another, and every tragedy was full of dark and cruel. Even if he had the ancient book to guarantee his safety, it still made him become more and more sensitive, more and more vigilant, more and more fragile.

Sometimes, it made him feel that the human race was far more terrifying than monsters!
