Chapter 303 (1/2)
No one knew how long it had pa.s.sed on Earth, but the cycles of dark nights and hazy days still continued.
In an endless creep area, many huge tombs were spread out towards the end of the horizon. The smoke they spurted out made the hazy sky even dimmer.
Countless insects were like ants moving orderly in the creep area. Every group of insects seemed to have designated tasks a.s.signed to them. Sometimes, they were split apart; sometimes two or more groups were gathered together moving in the same direction. Occasionally, there was one huge but blurry figure pa.s.sing by the groups of insects interrupting their works.
Amongst the busy swarm, a relatively bigger red-sh.e.l.led insect was dragging a dying red-sh.e.l.led insect and slowly moving towards a tomb that had a strange look, compared to other tombs.
Over there, it had the biggest blood pool in this creep area. All the dead insects would be gathered here to be dissolved and reused again.
…
Chu Yunsheng felt that his head was heavy, his body was heavy, his arms and his legs were also…
‘Wait… It is not right. It doesn’t feel like arms and legs!?’
He wanted to wake up. However, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t open his eyes.
He felt like he was being dragged by something, and there were sounds of many insects around him.
‘Where am I?!’ He wondered.
‘Wake up!’ He shouted in this mind and attempted to use his hands to pinch his face. But he couldn’t feel his “hands”.
‘Wait… Am I still alive? Am I not supposed to be dead?’ then he suddenly remembered something, “that’s right. My body exploded, but where am I?”
‘What happened!’
Then, he seemed to smell the sharp and distinct smell of the insect’s mucus.
‘But why does it smell so nice now?’
‘I really want to lie down and sleep on it,’ He thought.
‘Ah!~’ He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, ‘why does it hurt to think anything? Why do I feel like someone is calling me?’
…
‘I woke up again?’
‘Huh? Why again? Did I wake up earlier? Am I dreaming again?’
‘My brain hurts again. Why do I feel like I don’t remember a lot of things?’
‘But, how do I know that I forget a lot of things?’
‘My brain hurts again…’
…
‘I am an insect? Why do I have this kind of thoughts? Not possible, I hate insects. How come I am an insect?’
‘But that signal told me that I am an insect…’
‘No, I am not an insect! I am a human being. My name is Chu… Chu…?’
‘Ah!… My head hurts again. Why does it always happen when I am about to remember some important things…’
…
‘Yes! I remember it! my name is Chu Yunsheng. It must be this name! That’s great. I have a name, I am not an insect, insects don’t have names.’
‘But…’
‘It seems like I have lost something important, very very important. What is it?’
‘Please remember it. Please remember it. What is it?’
‘My head hurts… Ah… Why…’
…
‘Yes! I remember it now. It’s a book. But why a book is important, I don’t like to read at all.’
‘I’m hungry? Why am I hungry?’
‘Where am I. Why is it so hot here?’
….
‘Someone wants to harm me. That’s right. Someone wants to harm me. Who is it? Who?’
….

Confusion… Confusion… Continuous confusion…
…
(The sound of bubbles popping…)
‘I feel like I am sinking, but why don’t I feel suffocating? Do I not need to breathe?’
‘I am feeling uncomfortable. Why do I feel like my body is being dissolved? It’s very painful.’
‘Pain everywhere…’
‘I can’t take it anymore!’
…
(The sound of bubbles popping…)
Suddenly, a mucus bubble popped out from deep inside a blood pool. At the same time, Chu Yunsheng who suffered from acute burning pain also woke up.
However, what he saw next shocked him.
His “vision” suddenly became extremely good. He could tell that the place he was in had bad visibility. However, he still could see a lot of things clearly.
‘What the f.u.c.k is this place? Why am I here?’
Around him floated bodies of all types of insects. There were red-sh.e.l.led insects, green-sh.e.l.led insects, golden-sh.e.l.led insects… There were also many bodies of insects that he had never seen before, and there was even a huge skeleton of a dinosaur-like body!
They were all thrown into this red colored slimy pool.
‘Was I caught by the tentacle monster?’ Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but think.
