Dark Blood Age

Chapter 91



Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Is The Porridge Tasty?



“Let’s cross the radiation zone, the bomb has just been detonated there. It definitely has fewer insects in that direction than other areas. It is the safest way!” said a bald guy, whose name was Li Yue, after he adjusted his glasses.


“No! Ordinary people can’t go through the radiation zone, it’s too dangerous for them. Even if they can get out of the radiation zone alive, they will suffer for the rest of their lives,” Zhao Shanhe firmly rejected his suggestion.


“They will die much quicker If they encountered the swarm!” Li Yue insisted.


“How about let’s just move along the radiation zone, you can have the benefit of both sides,” said Huang Renkuan, who was a state official during the Age of Light. It was said that his official rank was quite high at that time.


Li Yue’s lips twitched a few times. If it was still in the Age of Light, he would’ve probably fawned over Huang Renkuan, but it was different now. However, if they could get to Jin Ling city alive, with this guy’s ability and the connections he had during the age of light. He would definitely be useful to those big men over there.


“Xiao Tian, why don’t you talk about your opinions,” Li Yue poked Tian Weidai, who was wearing a military uniform and taking a nap on the side.


“Ah?” Tian Weidai was startled. He did not seem to have heard what they said. At first, he looked at Li Yue, then he looked at Huang Renkuan, it took him a while and finally said, “I, I will follow Chief Huang’s instruction.”


Huang Renkuan was very happy with Tian Daiwei’s response. His face was filled with smiles of satisfaction.


“That’s it. Let’s move along the radiation zone, but we have to be careful, don’t get too close to the edge, I’ll take the lead.” Zhao Shanhe tapped his leg and made the final decision.


Li Yue’s resentment started to grow, but he did not have any other choices. The chef did not talk, The ‘witch’ was busy preaching her belief, and Chu Yunsheng was new to the group, so he didn’t plan to ask him.


Even if he did ask him, Zhao Shanhe, Huang Renkuan, and Tian Weidai were all having the same opinion, they still had more votes than him.


“Short-sighted! You all gonna die when we encountered the swarm!” Li Yue was complaining secretly, but Chu Yunsheng heard it all.


However, Chu Yunsheng did not say a single word or planned to suggest anything from the beginning.


When he followed this group to inspect the nuclear explosion zone, he discovered that probably because of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the radiation pollution did not spread out after the explosion. Instead, the radiation was enclosed in a hemisphere area, centered on the nuclear explosion by Yuan Qi or a type of dark energy. The boundary was very clear, the world outside of boundary and the world inside of boundary had two kinds of colors as if they were two different worlds.


When he got inside the boundary in person, the energy shield was immediately activated and tried to block all the radiation attack, but when he got out, the energy shield’s reaction stopped immediately.


Chu Yunsheng was not surprised, the changes of Tian Gui, the disappearance of the Sun, the insects… He had seen so many strange things.


The reason why Li Yue suggested to cross the radiation zone was that it was less than 150km from where they were to Jin Ling city, during the Age Of Light, this distance was roughly two hour’s journey by car.


So crossing the radiation zone was the quickest way to get to Jin Ling city. However, if they walked along the radiation zone, they would spend another few days to get to Jin Ling city.


Chu Yunsheng got out of the car while holding the little one, it was time for the meal. The food was porridge made of biscuit, snacks and some pieces of sausages, it was quite similar to the one he had in Dong Shen university.


Even with just this kind of food, those who hired them still asked three men to ‘protect’ the food. It also attracted a lot of kids to follow the three men to the place where the awakened warriors stayed. Those kids could not even move their eyes away from the food at a single second.


“Why is the food even less!? I still had a half piece of beef yesterday in the meal, but now there are only a few minced meats, is this how you are going to treat us? Ask your group leader Lao Chui to come here, this is not what we agreed on!” Huang Renkuan wasn’t satisfied with the meal at all, his face was filled with anger as if he was the only one that received unfair treatment.


However, his hands did not slow down slightly. He raised his head and quickly poured the porridge into his mouth. Probably he drank it too fast, he was choked by it. But because he did not want to cough it out, it made his face extremely red. Only after a while did he finally swallow everything in.


“Chief Huang is right, when they hired us, they promised that we would have enough food, and there would be meat in every meal. But now, they are using this to treat us. A bunch of ungrateful pieces of shit!” Li Yue rolled his eyes and cursed. He couldn’t agree more.


One of the three men that were asked to send the meal over seemed to be very angry about LI Yue’s complaint, his face instantly turned red with anger. It seemed like he wanted to confront them, but he was held back by their group members.


“What are you staring at! Punk, if you piss me off, I’ll kill you!” Li Yue emptied his bowl and pushed the bowl back to the young man. The young man was pushed over and fall to the ground. The blood quickly appeared on the edge of his lips slowly.


“Yu Quan, are you okay?” his group member immediately helped him to stand up and asked him with worries.


“You got some serious balls! What the fuck are you staring at! I am gonna teach you a lesson!” Li Yue did not have a good mood since Zhao Shanhe refused his suggestion. Now it was triggered by this young hothead. As flames instantly appeared and wrapped around his fists, he was about to hit this young man.


“Wu Zi, stand away!” the young man, whose name was Yu Quan, pushed his group member away.


But Li Yue’s fiery fists did not land on that young man’s body. It was blocked by Zhao Shanhe. Both of them were fire elemental warriors, so when two fiery fists smashed together, it instantly exploded. The blazing fire was instantly spread all over their body.


“Zhao Shanhe, mind your own business!” Li Yue was furious, but he did not carry on attacking. He knew that Zhao Shanhe was not an easy target.


“Boss Li, do you think that Yu Quan would survive from your punch!?” Zhao Shanhe did not back off.


“Those people will never learn, and they don’t know how to behave. If they die, it means that they deserve it!” Li Yue spat on the floor and said.


Soon, a roughly fourty years old middle-aged man hurriedly ran towards them. It was their group leader Lao Chui. Just when he stopped, he instantly slapped Yu Quan’s face very hard and scolded, “why can’t you stop making trouble! Why can’t you just listen to us for once… why can’t you…” his body was shaking with anger, but his slaps did not stop.


A continuous eight slaps, solid and heavy. The young man’s face was completely swollen up and his hair was all disheveled.


The other guy, whose name was Wu Zi, immediately held Lao Chui back, “Uncle, please stop, please, I’m begging you!”


Lao Chui panted, “you! Stand aside! Don’t stop me!”


Suddenly, Yu Quan stood up and pushed away Wu Zi, he burst into tears and shouted loudly, “Uncle, go on, beat me to death! We have not eaten for two days, we have been trying to save everything we got to feed those guys. I don’t have any problem, but Sister Qin, she is pregnant… and they are still not happy with the meal?!”


Lao Chui’s hand instantly stopped in the air, he could not carry on. In the end, the palm landed own his own face, it was loud and clear.


“Boss Li, you are a big man, Yu Qian is just a kid, he doesn’t know any better, please forgive him, I apologize to you, please.” Lao Chui begged.


“Boss Li, I think let’s just let bygones be bygones. After all, we are in the same group!” Huang Renkuan said in a weird and enigmatic tone.


Originally, Li Yue was about to let it go, since Lao Chui was begging so hard, and his attitude was so sincere, but then he was instantly enraged by Huang Renkuan’s word. How dare Huang Renkuan ask him to stop complaining like he was the one who started all this fuss,


“Oh… Since chief Huang asked, for the sake of him, I’ll let it go this time! But Lao Chui, Chief Huang complained that the food is getting worse, and this is not a good sign. Originally I didn’t want to complain about it at all, but since Chief Huang complained about it… Do you have anything to say to him?” Li Yue smirked and then shifted the topic back to Huang Renkuan. What he said was true, Huang Renkuan indeed said those words, so he had to admit it.


“Er… Er… Chief Huang, Boss Li, the food–” Lao Chui stuttered and did not know what to say.


“I don’t have any problem, I am skinny, so I do not eat a lot, but Chief Huang cannot bear the hardship. So you two can talk about it, I need a break after the meal. Please excuse me…” he waved his hand to interrupt Lao Chui and slowly and casually got on the car.


Huang Renkuan was trying to pretend that he was a good man, but now Li Yue said he did not mind the food was getting less. If he was going to demand more food, It would make him look bad, and it would destroy all the image he had just built up.


“Lao Chui, if you don’t have enough food, why didn’t you say it earlier, we are on the same boat, we can figure out a way to find more food.” Huang Renkuan ‘sternly’ criticized.


He was a timid man, he would lose his courage when facing insects. That was why he was separated from the military’s escort team when they were breaking through the insect’s encirclement. After he awakened, he believed that if he could get to Jin Ling city alive, he would definitely be assigned an important position by his superiors.


But the number of officials that would escape to Jin Ling city would definitely be more than he could imagine. If he wanted to succeed, he definitely needed to do something more than just being an awakened human. That was the reason why he stayed in this group. As long as he was able to take them to Jin Ling city alive, his reputation would rise, and he would become a hero.


“Chief Huang, you… you really… Really… Thank you!” Lao Chui stuttered again, he didn’t know what to say to thank the chief Huang.


Because of the food shortage, the tremendous stress even made his hair turn white in a short period of time.


Zhao Shanhe seized the opportunity and immediately dragged Huang Renkuan to discuss how to find the new food supply with Lao Chui. Zhao Shanhe didn’t finish his porridge, he only drank half, and left another half to those kids.


A storm of conflict came out of nowhere. Luckily, it didn’t last long.


When Li Yue threw the punch, Chu Yunsheng also started to harness Ben Ti Yuan Qi inside his body. He wanted to save this young man. It really was not worth it to kill a man, just because of this trivial thing. But he didn’t expect Zhao Shanhe would come forward first. So he just stood aside, watching how the thing progressed.


Earlier, everyone had gathered around to see what was going on, now they all speared out to do their own things. Only the kids were left behind, they all tried to snatch the empty bowls and used their little tongues to lick whatever that remained inside the bowl.


Chu Yunsheng has not touched the food he received. The body’s transformation in Yuan Tian stage two did not only require a lot of Yuan Qi, but it also required a lot of food energy, it was a lot more than just this bowl of porridge could provide.


But when he just picked up the bowl, he heard an emaciated little girl, who looked around six years old, said nervously, “Uncle, is the porridge tasty?” The girl’s voice was filled with a mixture of timidity and hope.
