Chapter 693 - The War Between Humans And Insects (1/2)
Chu Yunsheng tried to see who the person below was, and tried to hear what the person was saying, however, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t see or hear it. Then he suddenly woke up in a panic, his back sweaty and his face covered with cold tears.
There was a faint of sorrow in his heart, which made him feel strangely uncomfortable.
He frowned and had a strange feeling of panic. In this world, he seemed to have rarely dreamed, but as long as he dreamed, it must be a very strange dream. From the day he had woken up, plus the one he had just now, he had five nightmares in total.
The first one was a dream about a b.l.o.o.d.y man, looking at him from behind the mirror with desperate eyes. There were other messy things that finally made him wake up.
The second was that he stared at the cigarette case for a long time in the hotel in order to find the Eye of Providence; and then he had a nightmare. But after waking up at that time, he couldn’t remember the content of the dream.
The third one was even more terrifying. He actually dreamed that he had killed Dumb Insect with the long spear fused together by many Mins, and in the end, his attention was all drawn to that spear.
The fourth one was more absurd. Perhaps it was influenced by the blue-haired girl. That night, he dreamed of countless knights bravely launching a death charge towards him, shouting “Slay G.o.d”.
The fifth one was the one he had just now, a dream that could make him shed tears; and after waking up, there was still a strong lingering sorrow.
These five dreams were disorganized and chaotic. They didn’t seem to be related to each other, but they were all extremely weird, which made him uneasy and always felt that something bad was about to happen.
Maybe, it was a warning.
However, at this point, what else could it be? And how worse could it get? No.1 was sure that he was dead. So could there be anything worse than death in the world?
Chu Yunsheng wiped away the tears from his face, took out a flashlight from the talisman, and placed it on the cupboard next to the bed. In the light, he put on the clothes one by one.
He hadn’t had a haircut for a long time. They were unkempt on his head like a mop, making people frown on him every time they looked at him. His beard had also grown out again. Except for the new facial muscle on one side of his chin, the beard on the other side of the chin looked like the thorns of a cactus.
Perhaps due to the influence of being in the dark age for a long time, Chu Yunsheng has never had much energy and desire to take care of his appearance. However, he was now one of the most powerful figures inside a city with a population of tens of millions, so Song Zihuai had specially a.s.signed a personal secretary to him and repeatedly reminded him of his image problem more than once.
However, because he didn’t take it seriously, the secretary couldn’t do anything about it.
After Chu Yunsheng put on the last coat, he heard the secretary knocking at the door. Thinking that there was a large-scale citywide meeting today, he thought that the secretary was probably here to remind him of his image problem again.
Unexpectedly, the secretary, whose surname was Ma, didn’t mention any of it but said urgently: “Mr. Chu, a series of small earthquakes have occurred underground in the west of the city. Several houses have collapsed because of that. Fortunately, there were no major casualties. But those small earthquakes were very strange. They happened irregularly as if something was moving under the ground. The military department would like to ask you to go over there and find out what caused it.”
Chu Yunsheng frowned, and calmly asked, “How many areas that had small earthquakes did the military find?”
Ma Hongyuan was Chu Yunsheng’s special contact secretary, so he must know some confidential information. Therefore, when he heard Chu Yunsheng’s inquiry, he immediately answered, “They have detected three areas, and they are moving towards the fourth War Zone.”
In order to better plan the city’s defense work, the entire city was divided into nine sections under Chu Yunsheng’s suggestion. The fourth War Zone was located in the first column, the second row on the map, facing west and inland. It was one of the key battle defense areas that had two main divisions and one division of new recruits. One of the major resolutions of today’s expansion conference was to enhance the defense in the west of the city by using food to gather a huge number of refugees to work for them.
Chu Yunsheng speeded up his pace and walked outwards while asking, “how long has it been since the incident happened?”
