Chapter 619 - silence (1/2)
“Special broadcast! Special broadcast!”
The heavy voice of the announcer came from the radio. Tens of thousands of people gathered around the radio and TV, listening to it carefully…
“If you can still hear this, please take out the paper and pen immediately and write down the content that will be broadcast soon! Note, please do not use any electronic recording equipment!
This is the Shanghai safe zone, our location is…”
…
Radio and TV signals were broadcast in six languages all around the world. The content covered the location of the Shanghai safe area, escape guide, survival skills after the darkness, and possible dangers.
The announcer’s heavy voice was being played over and over again. However, the signal channels were full of various interference. The governments all around the world were making the final notices, the President of the United States, the President of France, the President of Russia, China… The notice from Shanghai was just one of them, and it was quickly submerged in a chaotic ocean of radio waves.
Suddenly, all of the radio and TV signals went silent.
It was as if the whole world had been paused. It was extremely quiet.
…
Everyone in the communication room slowly took off their headphones, while their mind was weighed down with anxiety.
Some people were looking at Chu Yunsheng as if he was the hope in the future. Everyone was hoping that he could say something at this time.
However, Chu Yunsheng simply stood up, pushed open the heavy door, and walked out of the communication room without saying a single word.
The forever darkness has finally arrived.
…
For the people in the Pseudo-Monolith, an era full of unknown dangers has begun, and for Chu Yunsheng, he seemed to have returned to the past and returned to the time he was familiar with.
Although he entered the Pseudo-Monolith, and he could stand under the Sunlight again, his heart belonged to the dark age. The age of light has gotten farther and farther away from him. It seemed that only the darkness was always staying with him.
The sky outside was as dark and heavy as the sky in his memory. It was without any future and without any hope.
In the hazy street lights outside the hotel, snowflakes fluttered. A girl in a check dress, wearing a cute fluffy hat, stood under a streetlight quietly, stretching out her hand to hold the falling snowflakes.
In Chu Yunsheng’s memory, there was no snow, nor was there this girl, but countless cold bodies and endless blood.
He drew out the sword, and simply let those scattered snowflakes fall on the surface of the blade.
On the street, sporadic silhouettes stopped their hurried footsteps. At the entrance, the guards turned around. In the hotel, people stood close to the windows. No one talked, no one made a noise, all of them turned their eyes to the man and the sword.
Yu Xiaohai was in front of the window, Song Ying was also in front of the window; Old Youling, Lin Shuiyao, Yu Jian, Chu Yue, Mo Wuluo, Lu Guolong, almost all the people in the hotel were watching …
The night at the moment was just as silent as radio.
Suddenly, there was a spark appearing on the tip of the sword blade, then the spark was turned into visible flames, and as the flames started to spread across the blade, it was burning fiercely. The light made by it was bright and dazzling, and as it appeared on every gla.s.s window of the hotel, it instantly expelled the darkness around the hotel.
Suddenly, Chu YunSheng jumped up high and waved his sword rapidly. As the bright sword light flashed quickly, many crescent-shaped flaming blades appeared like sea waves and hit an abandoned SUV not far from the hotel.
Under the attack of many flaming blades, the SUV was quickly smashed into pieces and brushed into ashes.
Then Chu Yunsheng put back the sword, turned around, and still, he didn’t say a single word.
However, what those people had seen was much more useful than a thousand words!
*****
“You want to learn?”
Chu Yunsheng originally planned to go to bed. He had stayed up all night yesterday, so he needed some rest. However, as soon as he lay down, Yu Xiaohai came to knock on the door with excitement.
It turned out that he wanted to learn the sword skill Chu Yunsheng had just used.
“Yes, I want to learn that, that skill is so awesome! You don’t know, little sister Song’s eyes were filled with amazement and admiration when you used that skill.” Yu Xiaohai said excitedly.
“Actually, even if I teach you, you will still not be able to learn this ability.”
Chu Yunsheng did not want to disappoint him. However, even if he had fire elemental energy, he still would not be able to learn this ability, let alone he would only have ice elemental energy in the future.
After all, when he used this ability, he had infused some black gas into the sword. Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve that kind of result.
Seeing that Yu Xiaohai was disappointed like a deflated balloon, Chu Yunsheng said, “but I can teach you something else.”
“Really?” Yu Xiaohai’s eyes were instantly lit up again.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t know when it started, but he slowly started to dislike Yu Xiaohai’s playful character. Perhaps it was related to what he had been through in the past. But he still wanted to tell Yu Xiaohai about it, so he said sternly, “Haizi, if you only want to learn it because you want to show off, then no matter what I teach you, you will be just wasting your time. You don’t know how cruel it will be in the future, I can understand that. That is not something that people can easily understand without seeing it in person. I don’t know any skills that you can use to show off, I only know the skills that can be used to kill people. None of those skills have fancy moves. All of those skills are deadly and dangerous. You need to think about it clearly. What exactly do you want.”
Chu Yunsheng has already disclosed enough secret information in his words. Otherwise, he would have told him that it was not something that people could easily understand without seeing it personally. He only hoped that Yu Xiaohai would be able to figure it out on his own.
Yu Xiaohai was his best friend, and he was the only person he could trust at the beginning of the dark age. However, if he carried on acting like this, and if he did not make him understand what kind of situation they were in, it would not be good for both of them.
“Kill people?” Yu Xiaohai also calmed down. Chu Yunsheng had killed people before. He vaguely knew something about this from Song Ying, and he was shocked for a long time when he heard it. He always felt that the Chu Yunsheng he knew now, was different from the Chu Yunsheng he knew in the past. But in terms of in what way, he could not tell exactly.
“Yes, kill people, and kill the monsters I told you before and other creatures. If you don’t kill them, you will be killed by them. If you want to survive, you have to understand these skills.” Chu Yunsheng said with a plain tone as if he had done it so many times in the past.
“B, brother Chu, I…” Yu Xiaohai’s mind was in a muddle. It was as if everything in the world had changed overnight.
Chu Yunsheng stood up, patted his shoulder, tried to calm him down, and said, “I know your little bad habit, and I don’t expect you to change it. I just want you to understand that the outside world has changed, and everyone has to change too. If you don’t change. You will be eliminated by this world. Okay, I think I have said enough. I have already prepared a method for you. You can practice it according to the instructions. Not only you, but there are methods for other people as well.”
“Other people?” Yu Xiaohai asked in confusion.
Chu Yunsheng nodded and said with a smile, “It’s the people on that list. Otherwise, why would I spend so much effort looking for them? Since I have a chance today. I can explain a little bit to you. I have already told the military, Song Zihuai, and Professor Sun. From today onward, some of you will gradually awaken some strange abilities. There are five types of awakening. According to your physical condition, if there is no accident, you will awaken ice elemental energy. Other people will have fire energy and some other types of energy etc. Your task is to tell them what to do when they awaken. There are some basic exercises, which you will need to ask them to practice before I return to Shanghai. If they don’t listen to you, wait until I get back to Shanghai, I will deal with them!”
Yu Xiaohai was dazed for a second and then asked embarra.s.sedly, “Brother Chu, can you speak more slowly, I need some time to process it. Did you mean that you have already awakened? And then we will awaken as well? And we will also have superpowers like you? And…”
“Sit down, let’s talk slowly.” Chu Yunsheng poured a cup of tea, slowed down as much as possible, and explained in detail to Yu Xiaohai one by one.
These things were related to how many awakeners he would have in the future and how strong his force would be. Based on the original timeline, in the future, not only would he have to face the internal power struggle in Shanghai, but he also had to deal with NO.1, that old man, and the five elemental races’ alliance, not to mention the insect’s swarm.
