Chu Yunsheng felt very helpless. He leaned against the wall and lit up another cigarette. The reason why he felt this way was not because of those people, who had come back. It was because the screams that came from those dying people reminded him that the insects had increased to a number that no matter how fast he increased his strength, he would still be on the losing side.

The girl saved by Yu Xiaohai also came back. Maybe she didn’t even leave very far. She sat on the side next to Chu Yunsheng and Yu Xiaohai, which was far away from Gu Liming’s squad.

Whenever a scream appeared on the street, she would s.h.i.+ver nervously as if she was a panicky bunny.

Chu Yunsheng had the exact same feeling before. It was when he saw an insect sucking the brain out of a human for the first time. His heart jumped extremely fast at that time as if it did not belong to him.

Everyone was very quiet. No one dared to speak, including Chu Yunsheng, because the insect was very sensitive to sounds.

It was deadly quiet on the roof, so quiet like they were in an underground tomb, and it was like that for a very long time…

……

Chu Yunsheng suddenly woke up from panic. He didn’t know how he was able to fall asleep in this kind of situation, but he had a nightmare. In the nightmare, his helmet had fallen off, and an insect was sucking his brains.

The screams had already stopped, but the sounds of the insects still could be heard from time to time. The girl was still crying, and the professor Sun’s group had been gathered together as if they were discussing something.

Yu Xiaohai was still unconscious. If it was not for the fact that he was still breathing, Chu Yunsheng would have given up already.

Raising his head, Chu Yunsheng looked at the sky. Suddenly, he noticed that the dark night appeared to have a trace of hazy s.h.i.+mmer. Then his heart started to jump rapidly. He immediately pulled up the helmet’s front cover to look at it carefully again.

He was not wrong. The sky clearly had a faint weak light. Although darkness was still enveloping the Earth, under the hazy dim light, people were able to see the shadows and outlines of the surrounding objects. At least, they were not completely blind without fire, torches or other light sources.

‘What is this? Are we finally going back to the age of light?’ Chu Yunsheng was very excited. He even had tears in his eyes. It was not that he wasn’t strong enough. It was just that he has always been burying his weakness deep inside.

He quickly jumped up and pushed Yu Xiaohai several times. “Xiaohai, wake the f.u.c.k up. It’s back. The light is back! Stop pretending you are dying!”

“He won’t be able to wake up anytime soon,” said professor Sun. He slowly walked towards Chu Yunsheng with a crutch and sat in front of him.

“He is in the awakening state. Based on our study, dark energy is currently transforming his body. So he won’t be able to wake up anytime soon.” he explained.

“Dark energy?” Chu Yunsheng was confused. Originally, he thought that this old man was going to ask him more questions about the armor. But he didn’t expect that the old man would tell him this.

Chu Yunsheng seemed to have heard this word before. Probably, from the neighbor, who lived above him at the building No.8.

Professor Sun nodded his head and explained, “Yes, dark energy. Combined with dark matter, they made up 96 percent of the whole universe, and it could be even more.”

“You are saying that this dark energy is transforming his body?” Apart from the book, this was the first time he heard that someone actually had some answers towards the ability awakening. But he had kicked this old man earlier, so he did not know if this professor would tell him more about it.

But professor Sun seemed to have forgotten about what Chu Yunsheng did. He sighed, “Yes, but not all types of dark energies have this kind of power, and in terms of this particular type, we are still studying it.”

Chu Yunsheng suddenly thought of the ancient book. The book mentioned that Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi could only be gathered after Tian Gui’s seal was broken.

In order to confirm what he guessed was right and if he understood the book correctly, he asked, “What about before the disappearance of the Sun? Why wasn’t there anything like this?”
