Chapter 432 The Promises of Black Ba (1/2)

In Chang'an Base City, it had been eight days since anyone had seen the blue sky and white clouds. A mist spread across the sky as yellow-brown sand floated over the city.

To the world after the Cataclysm, this was something unimaginable. The damage to the polluted environment caused by human beings had already disappeared completely after the Cataclysm. The citizens of Chang'an City hadn't come across this type of environment in many years.

”Therefore, this is absolutely abnormal.” Chen Xuehe shook his head, lightly shaking the glass bottle in his hand that held a pale yellow granular gas.

”After my testing, all this is just normal… sand.” Chen Xuehe frowned.

”All this is normal… sand?” The officer standing in front of Chen Xuehe was completely taken aback.

”But, but there shouldn't be any sandstorms in this present environment.” Another military research officer standing beside him didn't agree with Chen Xuehe's opinion. ”There's definitely something that hasn't been detected yet.”

”All right. If you don't believe me, then you can test it one more time.” Chen Xuehe was calm, not angry at all.

The research officer stared at Chen Xuehe directly for a while and snorted from his nose. ”How can I not believe Professor Chen? Who else in the military hasn't heard of Professor Chen's name?” The research worker seemed to laugh and yet, he wasn't laughing.

Chen Xuehe lifted his eyelids, his face calm. Then suddenly, he grabbed the research officer's hair with his hand and pressed him to the ground.

”Stop being funny!”

After that came a beating full of punches and kicks. ”I've already tolerated you for a long time, so you think that I wouldn't dare to beat you up?”

”Oh, Chen Xuehe, you must be crazy! You wouldn't dare to beat me…”

The officers standing by the side averted their eyes and pretended that they didn't see anything. There was one slightly younger soldier who felt that this wasn't very appropriate, and he wanted to step forward to stop it, but an elder soldier held his arm, lowered his voice, and said, ”Don't act rashly.”

Then from the surrounding wall, the ceiling, and underneath the desk, numerous iron-teethed golden-backed millipedes crawled out from every corner. Glancing at them, there were at least ten of them, all of which were Commander-tier familiars.

Ten minutes had passed. The research officer who was lying on the floor was bruised and swollen, his spectacles thrown off and his nose bleeding. He was muttering, ”Don't you know who my uncle is….”

”Professor Chen, you're being impulsive. His uncle is also the vice commanding officer of the military, which is also in charge of the laboratory,” said the officer while he sighed. ”Nevertheless, there's also a way to solve this problem. Commander Liu is always energetic when it comes to matters like this—”

”No, it's unnecessary,” Chen Xuehe interrupted him.

…

In the Dark Ember Forest, it was another boring day. Deep in the jungle, a gigantic black ape monster was lazing on the rough branch, looking at the sky.

Ever since that old man had died, Black Ba felt that every day was boring and lonesome.

Its furry lower jaw was full of gray fur. From its outer appearance, it was a Black Raging Kong that had been enlarged exponentially. Black Ba sighed. Irritated, its big hands tried to grasp something from the air, but in the end, it caught nothing.

How disgusting. Black Ba sneezed. The choking smell in the air made it rather impatient.

When it stood up from the branch, this tree, which was 650 feet tall, shook vigorously, causing its leaves to drop. Maybe it was because it had been sat on regularly, but the leaves of this huge tree were rather thin… There was the sense that it was balding.

That fellow from the west is here again. Black Ba could smell the obvious choking scent even if they were over a dozen miles apart. Starting from a week ago, this fellow had snuck in and appeared outside the Dark Ember Forest, then spread large amounts of yellow powder into the air.

Although it didn't sense any danger… smelling it still wasn't comfortable.

Black Ba's face was gloomy. Its burly body, like a statue of Black King Kong, was emitting a dangerous aura.
