Chapter 149 (1/2)

Chu Yunsheng knew that with the Fang family’s power in Jin Ling city, sooner or later, they would find out that it was he, who did it, so he had to be prepared.

Zeng Xingrui had also brought bad news to him. The cloaked man was behind this internal power struggle. But he still did not know if he still could defeat the cloaked man or not.

There was also something strange he noticed, whether it was the Fire King – Qi Xuan or the Gun King – Han Lixiao, they were all high ranking fire elemental dark warriors.

Especially the words that Zeng Xingrui said, “only by following the cloaked man, will there be a future for all the fire warriors…” It meant that the cloaked man had some connections with the fire element. But was he really some kind of insect? Chu Yunsheng was scared by this idea.

So far only the fire elemental monsters were surrounding the city! That was why he would think of this way.

Sitting on the roof of the office building, and gazing afar at the tombs that were still emitting the huge black smoke on the other side of the river, Chu Yunsheng felt that the world he was familiar with was getting further and further away from him. The world was getting stranger and stranger.

He had already forgotten what a hot sunny day felt like, what the night sky looked like when there were stars and galaxies. Every day when he woke up in panic, he would have to check if he still had the book. His routine was no longer was.h.i.+ng his face and taking buses to go to work. Every day the first thing he did was to check the insect’s movement, then he had to fight the insects like a robot.

Gradually, he started to feel normal when he saw people were eaten by the insects, starved to death or committed suicide.

Looking at himself in the mirror. the unfamiliar feeling of himself made his soul tremble. He was just an ordinary white-collar office worker, and his daily routine was to sit in front of a computer, and maybe sometimes tease the female receptionist. But now, he became a killing machine, a blood-thirsty swordsman.

This kind of life might last for a very long time; it might continue until he died. It probably would never go back to the old days!

The senior pract.i.tioner said that the unsealed Tian Gui would reveal the world’s true face. It meant that the world he used to live in was just a secluded paradise.

Seeing the world was going through the strange and mind-blowing drastic change, Chu Yunsheng didn’t know if he should consider himself a lucky one or an unlucky one.

Chu Yunsheng could not find the answers.

Taking out a cigarette and just when he was about to lit up, he suddenly stopped. There were not many cigarettes inside the storage talisman. He had never thought about giving up smoking one day. But now, he had to face one reality. It was that he was running out of the cigarette.

The 9th division also provided food to them. Although it was not a lot, at least, he wouldn’t feel hungry. He had already stopped choosing what to eat. Whatever they provided, he would eat it all.

He even started to try to eat those monsters’ meat. In order to save food, he used alexipharmic talismans to remove the poison from red-sh.e.l.led insects’ meat, and distribute them to the family members of the office building.

He told the people to take out the grains and some preserved vegetables only once in three days.

Only once in three days, the people of the office building would reveal their smiles. Kids would constantly lick their lips while waiting for the food outside the kitchen. After consuming the food, they would use their little fingers to count how many days they needed to wait until next time they received another supply.

Ding Yan insisted that those kids need to study. As long as the city still existed, they were the future of humanity. If they don’t study, they will soon forget who they are.

But many families didn’t support him, they all felt that it was useless. The city could fall at any time, it was ridiculous to talk about the future.

However, Ding Yan still insisted. He was so stubborn to the extent that even Chu Yunsheng had to give in.

So under Ding Yan’s pressure, all the family had stopped complaining about it. Soon, a school was established inside the office building.

What they taught to the kids was simple. They abandoned all useless lessons like art, music, and other foreign language learning courses.

However, something strange happened in the cla.s.sroom soon after the school was open. A twelve years old girl awakened in the cla.s.s all of sudden. Chu Yunsheng had to rush back from the front line to save the little girl. Before this incident and apart from the little tiger, no one had ever seen a kid awakened before.

That night, Chu Yunsheng also invited professor Sun to come to the office building to examine the kid. Professor Sun later proposed a theory that the awakening process might occur when all kids reached 12 years old.

So after that night, Ding Yan arranged another course in the cla.s.s, he had to a.s.sign some dark warriors to teach the kids about the knowledge of the dark energy and how to use them.

———————————————

The wailing of sirens woke Chu Yunsheng once again, it meant the insects started to push again!

When he arrived at the front line, the killing had already started!

With the Yangtze River this natural barrier, the pressure in the western defence line was much smaller than those of the Southern defence line and the Eastern defence line, what they faced was only the green-sh.e.l.led insects and fireb.a.l.l.s.

But this time was different,

Red-sh.e.l.led insects seemed to have found a way to cross the river

The b.l.o.o.d.y coloured slimy substance seemed to have transformed into some kind of solid material on top of the river. With the help of long tentacles, those substances were pushed over to the other side of the river to transport the red-sh.e.l.led insects.

Those substances were loaded with red-sh.e.l.led insects. Some even stood on top of each other.
