Chapter 50 (1/2)

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-sh.e.l.led 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-sh.e.l.led 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, “h.e.l.lo.”

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 s.h.i.+fted his eyes. But didn’t change his tone. Gu Liming felt embarra.s.sed, 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 pa.s.sed, 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 cla.s.sified information, I can’t tell you a lot. However, I can a.s.sure 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 b.l.o.o.d.y age, apart from themselves, who else would think that they were important.
