Chapter 598 - Old Youling’s plan (1/2)

Based on the sudden appearance of the white shadow, Chu Yunsheng could tell that it must have been hiding in the dark for a very long time. Using the opportunity that he was fighting with the fiery figure to break into the soldiers’ defense position and seize the freeze gun, this was something Chu Yunsheng did not expect. But this was also something that he did not care about. As long as he could get the battle cloak.

On the contrary, the attention of the hundreds of soldiers was completely attracted by the white shadow. To Chu Yunsheng, this could also be considered to be a good thing. After all, if he took away the battle cloak in front of hundreds of soldiers, it would definitely cause some argument and unnecessary troubles.

The reason why his face was livid was that as soon as the white shadow appeared, he received a strange text message on his mobile phone, “I’m looking forward to meeting Jun. Chu in Nanjing.”

It did not leave a name, nor did it tell the person’s intention, and “Jun. Chu” this word meant that it was not someone close to him, and Song Ying, Su Su and anyone from modern China would not call him this, because “Jun.” was a very ancient Chinese t.i.tle that used to address a respectable person. So the only possibility was that this person was that white shadow.

Not only did it know his new mobile phone number, but it also knew that he was going to Nanjing, it meant that it must have been following him for quite a while now, and he must have gotten his number from the original phone owner.

The fact that there is a person who has approximately equal fighting capability hidden nearby that Chu Yunsheng could not detect naturally made him worried.

He had always been alert about the things that he could not control. He had already had this “disorder” since the Age of Light. And it had helped him to improve his alertness, but also caused him to miss some good opportunities, but in general, it was a very useful feeling, because it had helped to escape many dangerous situations.

“Let’s go to Nanjing now!”

After picking up Old Youling, who was still fuming bright red smoke, he said sternly. In addition, there was also a sense of urgency in his tone.

The text message was sent before the white shadow attacked the soldiers’ defense position. It meant that the white shadow knew his every movement. Moreover, because it was able to determine that he was going to Nanjing, Chu Yunsheng’s concern deepened even further. He did not know for sure if the white shadow knew that his target was a jade pendant or not, but from Lin Shuiyao’s background and contacts, it would not be difficult for the white shadow to guess who his target would be.

Yu Jian also did not waste time asking him what happened, he just asked the pilot to fly to Nanjing at the maximum speed. The strong wind blow from the helicopter rotary wings snuffed out the lingering flame left on the ground as the aircraft carrying Chu Yunsheng flew over the army.

The soldiers and their officers did not pay much attention to Chu Yunsheng’s movement, after losing the freeze gun, they quickly regrouped and started to pursue the white shadow on the ground. In the air, the two attack helicopters had already flown toward the direction that white shadow had fled to already.

The direction that the white shadow fled to was not the same as the direction of Nanjing. It seemed like the white shadow wanted to lure the foot soldiers and two annoying attacking helicopters away from the meeting location that it wanted to see Chu Yunsheng. If the white shadow had chosen to flee directly to Nanjing, which was also the base location of Nanjing military base, it would have to face the ma.s.s deployed soldiers and aircrafts waiting for it in advance. After all, no matter how fast its speed is, it cannot be faster than the speed of the military communication system.

Chu Yunsheng’s group did not have this trouble. With the ident.i.ty of the special police from Shanghai, they would not have any problem flying straight into the metropolitan area of Nanjing.

It was nearly five o’clock in the morning, but the Sun was still below the horizon. The long winter night made the sky above their head very dark. Chu Yunsheng was checking the battle cloak without saying a single word, Old Youling was sitting opposite him, breathing out flames from its nose and mouth from time to time, gloomily.

After swallowing the fiery figure, the remaining fire elemental energy in the body of the fiery figure barbecued him like a pig. As a “ghost”, it was surprised to discover that it could actually feel the feeling of thirst, which was something that it was not supposed to be able to feel.

The backup water in the helicopter didn’t improve its current status, and its only solution was to rely on its own energy to neutralize the fire elemental energy. Although it was suffering, it gradually found that after digesting the fire elemental energy, its strength slowly began to grow, and the growing rate was even faster than swallowing a living person!

Old Youling was tormented by the fire, but at the same time, it could not help but secretly feel happy. As long as it could increase its strength, it would eventually be able to escape from Chu Yunsheng’s hand one day. So it decided to keep this secret from everyone, especially Chu Yunsheng. By the time it had enough power, then it would be able to… muahahaha…

Thinking back the moment Chu Yunsheng ordered it to risk its life to devour the fiery figure, Old Youling’s desire for “freedom” grew even stronger.

In order to avoid Chu Yunsheng noticing its difference, it still needed to pretend to groan in agony, lest he would order it to do a similar thing again. It had to pretend that it was heavily injured.

Old Youling also could not trust Lin Shuiyao, who was sitting beside it either. From the intelligence that it observed from her sharp eyes, Old Youling had a feeling that she recognized that it was acting.

Seeing Chu Yunsheng was looking at the cloak carefully, although it did not know what Chu Yunsheng was doing, it knew for sure that he would not be able to tell that it was acting. But it was not sure if Lin Shuiyao would tell him or not. Maybe, it should find some opportunity to devour this smart girl if the situation?…

On the way to Nanjing, Old Youling was plotting the “great plan” to free itself; Chu Yunsheng was thinking about the worst-case scenario; and Lin Shuiyao, she was constantly looking at Chu Yunsheng from time to time. However, from Chu Yunsheng’s eyes, she could tell that she has been ignored by him since the beginning; in terms of Yu Jian, his brows were always pressed together, as if he was worried about something… In silence, the roar of the helicopters gradually appeared at the edge of the outskirts of Nanjing.

Location: Nanjing, near the Purple Mountain.

Liang Xicheng could not sleep for the entire night. At the moment, the sky was gradually becoming brighter, indicating the beginning of a new day. However, despite his lack of sleep, he did not have a hint of drowsiness. Instead, the nerves of his brain were in the “hyperactive” condition under an invisible pressure.

As a leading real estate tyc.o.o.n in southeastern China, especially in the Nanjing area, the Liang family’s information channels were very widely spread. His father Liang Yi was also a representative of the people’s congress, so his family had a lot of connections in the government.

Compared with other ordinary businessmen, the Liang family had good relations with both the government and the military. They had already received some obscure information that if Shanghai was lost, Nanjing would become the last base in eastern China.

After secretly verifying the information with the military, the Liang family finally had the confidence to gather all kinds of supplies and rations in Nanjing in order to prepare for the unpredictable crisisies.

Everything had been proceeding in an orderly and secretive manner, except for the matter of securing some strategic materials that were not going well. With the help from the government and the military, the process of obtaining other types of supplies had been relatively smooth.
