Dark Blood Age

Chapter 50: Chapter 50 The Regiment Commander’s Plan

Chu Yunsheng needed to hurry up absorbing Yuan Qi from the monster before the research team arrived. He walked behind the monster alone, took out a brand new absorption talisman, and used the fastest speed he had to absorb Yuan Qi.

One absorption talisman wasn’t enough, so he took out the second one, the third one… In the end, he had six full flame-patterned absorption talismans. It was equivalent to more than thirty red-shelled insects, and Chu Yunsheng didn’t even absorb its energy right after it died, so some of its Yuan Qi had already dissipated. This was how powerful the monster was.

The research team members gradually arrived, so Chu Yunsheng didn’t have time to absorb the smaller one. He took back the last talisman and noticed that the hazy gleam had already come out of the sky again. Looking at his watch, it was already 8:00.

When he repeatedly made absorption talismans and used them to absorb the Yuan Qi from the monster, the Yuan Qi also circulated inside his body. He now reached a state where he could kill ten insects, but he still wasn’t sure if he could deal with a green-shelled insect and a tentacle monster alone.

When Chu Yunsheng came back, the escort team members were still taking the break near the place where they buried Jiang Ye. Most of the team members were more or less injured. Then He saw Zhong Nan talking to some military officers.

Seeing Chu Yunsheng come back, Zhong Nan turned around and said, “regiment commander Du, the man you are looking for is him.”

The man he was talking to was wearing a two-bars and three-stars shoulder sleeve insignia, which meant that he was a colonel.

The regiment commander reached out his hands and held Chu Yunsheng’s right hand and smiled, “Mr. Chu, it’s my pleasure to meet you, my name is Du Qishan.”

Chu Yunsheng instantly knitted his brows, ‘why would the military look for him?’ But at the moment he could only respond reluctantly, “hello.”

The regiment commander was just about to say something, but a man, who had just appeared behind him, suddenly shouted in shock, “it’s you!”

Chu Yunsheng squinted his eyes to look at that man, it was Captain Gu, the annoying guy. It looked like he had successfully escaped from the Shen Cheng city and returned to the military.

“Li Ming, you two know each other?” The regiment commander Du shifted his eyes. But didn’t change his tone. Gu Liming felt embarrassed, but he quickly whispered into the regiment commander’s ear.

The commander Du’s face suddenly became very serious. When Gu Liming finished, he looked at Chu Yunsheng and said sternly, “Mr. Chu, as the Captain Gu’s Superior, I apologize to you for the things he did, please don’t keep it in mind.”

Chu Yunsheng shook his head, “it’s okay. It’s already passed, and it wasn’t really a big deal, he was doing his job, if you don’t have other questions, please excuse me.”

Seeing him was about to leave, the regiment commander Du immediately said, “Mr. Chu, Professor Sun has never stopped talking about you, he admires your ability a lot. It was my great honor and admiration to see your sword fight, and to witness how you killed the monster. I was having a discussion with your Captain Zhong Nan earlier, we hope that you could help us to escort a group of people to Jin Ling city as soon as possible.”

Although the commander was very sincere, Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to be a bodyguard. Moreover, it was much more dangerous to escort a small number of people, far less safe than staying in such a big crowd.

So Chu Yunsheng refused without any hesitation, “I’m sorry commander Gu, you have overestimated my ability, also I have other things to do, I’m afraid that I can’t join your mission!”

Commander Du smiled, “Mr. Chu don’t be so modest, perhaps, I have not explained myself very clearly, we are not only escorting some important officials, but also some scientists, it’s not for personal purpose. But because it involves some classified information, I can’t tell you a lot. However, I can assure you that we are doing it for the greater good, we need to arrive in Jin Ling city as soon as possible, we hope you will reconsider it.”

Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but think that, even he knew that staying in the group was far less dangerous than leaving with a few people, so those people definitely knew that as well, then what kind of emergency would make them want to leave the crowd as soon as possible?

But it was not his business anymore, so he immediately stopped thinking about it. When the commander Du mentioned some important officials, it really made him sick. What did he mean by escorting some important officials, their deep-rooted bureaucratism thoughts were truly unbreakable.

Since he disdained to be those officials’ bodyguard, his facial expression, of course, would not look good, “Commander Du, there are also some researchers in Dong Shen university, so I think I’d better stay here! If you don’t have other questions, I still have other things to do, see you!” he said coldly.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t wait for his response, he simply turned around and left. He had many absorption talismans, now the most important thing he should be focusing on was reaching Yuan Tian stage two. Government Officials? In this bloody age, apart from themselves, who else would think that they were important.

Not long after he walked away, he suddenly heard Gu Liming try to keep his voice as low as possible and said, “Colonel, why don’t we tell him that the troops that we have left behind in the city, couldn’t defend our back any longer!?”

Although his voice was very low, Chu Yunsheng still could hear every single word. His heart instantly sank. ‘This day has finally come!’

Once the defence line collapsed, the insects would swarm towards this place. Even just a small amount of them could easily slaughter everyone here.

Chu Yunsheng was worried, but he still didn’t want to join the commander Du’s group. Who knows what kind of monster would appear ahead. Especially after he saw the creepy flying creatures and the strange plants when he was searching a food factory, It made him feel that the journey ahead wouldn’t be much safer than the insects at back!

He speeded up his steps, and quickly returned to the truck, no one had returned yet, so the truck was empty.

The sky still had a hazy gleam, so everyone’s vision was limited, and the crowd was still moving like a turtle. Now that they had already left the city, they were currently being surrounded by farms, it was vast and empty.

When it got to night time, they still had not even arrived in Kun Cheng city. Then many people started to die because of sickness, and the number started to increase. Many bodies had been left on the side of the road, and they could be seen everywhere.

The sound of artillery strike slowly faded out, Chu Yunsheng almost couldn’t hear it anymore…

It was a boring journey, there weren’t any insects, not even just one red-shelled insect. Chu Yunsheng was so bored that he started to wonder why there weren’t any insects out here.

he was wondering maybe the insect was planning a massive attack. Of course, he knew how crazy it sounded, so he just laughed it off.

Sitting on the truck, Chu Yunsheng felt very sleepy. But suddenly he heard some loud noise coming from bus No.1. Opening his eyes immediately, he only saw two female team members were on the truck, no one else was there. He was alarmed and quickly jumped off the truck.

There were many people gathering around the bus no.1. Most of the university’s escort team members were there. There was also another group standing on the other side. They were looking at each other angrily. Zhong Nan stood in the middle of both groups, he was talking to one man, who seemed to be the leader of another group. It seemed like they were having an argument.

“Boos, don’t waste time talking to them, just take it. With those few awakened warriors, I don’t really give a shit,” behind the leader, was a brawny brute, who was holding a big broadsword. The voice came from him.

Just right after he shouted, the rest of the group also cheered.

Chu Yunsheng was at the back of the group, he could not get through. Only when he dragged a team member to ask what was going on did he finally understand that, just not long ago, dozens of strong awakened warriors were plundering through the crowd all the way to the bus no.1. When they were about to take something from bus no.1, they were stopped by the guards. Because both parties had the awakened warriors, so they were afraid to use forces at that time. When Zhong Nan heard it, he quickly came over trying to solve the problem.

The other team leader had a long face and a pair of gruesome eyes. At the moment, he was glancing at the escort team, seemingly trying to compare the strength of both sides.

“Captain Zhong, our brothers respect you, so I only want half of the supplies and half of the bus, otherwise…” The long-faced man said in a cold and intimidating voice.

Qin Heng interrupted him and snorted, “otherwise, what are you gonna do? Wanna fight? We aren’t scared of you!”

The man pointed at Qin Heng and gave him a contemptuous laugh, “Captain, I respect you, because you are strong, but him, not worth my attention!”

Hearing what he said, Qin Heng felt humiliated. He was enraged and about to use his ability, but he was immediately stopped by Zhong Nan.
