Dark Blood Age

Chapter 53: Chapter 53 I’ll be the spy

Chu Yunsheng had heard Qian Deduo talk about it before. The military always wanted the university’s escort team to join them, so they could leave as soon as possible. But the escort team was formed by a group of students. They were from the university, so there was no way they would abandon them. And later on, Commander Du’s invitation was rejected by Chu Yunsheng again, this was why the military was helping the long-faced man’s group.

But Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to know this. All he wanted right now was the long-faced man’s life. However, he knew that Commander Du wouldn’t negotiate with him. Commander Du wanted the whole bandit group, and from the way that those bandits responded when the long-faced man asked them to join in the fight, everyone could tell that they were bound together. So if Commander Du wanted the whole group, he must keep the long-faced man alive, or at least, they shouldn’t be directly involved in his death

So he needed to rely on himself to kill the long-faced man.

Chu Yunsheng was hiding in a group of smelly refugees. He was sitting next to a dead body that was as skinny as a skeleton. The person most likely died of starvation. However, the people around the dead body didn’t seem to care about it.

There was a commotion over the university’s motorcade after he left. But it quieted down very soon. Then, a bus was driven out of the crowd and slowly driven towards the military’s gathering point.

Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng suddenly remembered that Lin Shuiyao was still on the No.1 bus, and since he had quitted the escort team, she would probably be kicked out of the bus as well. But he couldn’t help her anymore. He just decided to let fate decide what would happen to her.

Estimating his current strength, Chu Yunsheng guessed that if he fully restored Yuan Qi, he could easily kill ten red-shelled insects, but when Yu Xiaohai was taken away, he spent more than half of his Yuan Qi to shoot the insect, and then he also fought with those bandits, so the remaining Yuan Qi in his body was barely enough for him to make one energy shield.

He had also run out of bullets as well, temporarily, he did not have any way to replenish it, but it was not urgent.

The most important thing at the moment was to find a bow or a crossbow in Kun city.

Just when he was about to follow the bus, he noticed that someone in the crowd was following him. He immediately put his hand on the sword, and slowly changed his direction.

When he walked to an open field, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and drew the sword. It instantly scared away the people around him.

Two men, soon, slowly appeared. They were Ding Yan and Yao Xiang.

Chu Yunsheng was confused at first. Then he thought that they were probably sent here to get him back to the team by Zhong Nan. But immediately, he turned down this thought because if Zhong Nan wanted him back, he would’ve sent Qian Deduo, instead of them.

He kept his guard up, and planned not to say anything first. He wanted to see what they were going to say.

Ding Yan spread out his arms and smiled, “finding this kind of place to talk, brother Chu, you are really a cautious man.”

Seeing Chu Yunsheng did not respond to him, he stroked his nose and said, “can I have one cigarette, it’s gonna take some time to talk.”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t say anything nor did he give him a cigarette, he just smiled at him coldly. Ding Yan had left quite an impression on him after he told him how to attack the tentacle monster. But before he knew why they were following him, he would not let his guard down. Especially in the dark age, no one could be trusted.

Seeing him not respond to him again, Ding Yan stopped smiling. Instead, he was staring at Chu Yunsheng and said sternly, “I and Xiao Yao(Yao Xiang) also left the escort team.”

Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second by his words. He didn’t expect that Ding Yan would tell him this. However, he still had a faint of suspicion, so he looked at Yao Xiang. He knew that this young man was much more honest than Ding Yan.

Yao Xiang also nodded his head and spoke bluntly, “that garbage team, we don’t have anything to do with them now!”

Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows and said, “what do you mean?”

Ding Yan explained, “one dead, and one severely injured, but the Captain didn’t even dare to do anything about it. His mind is full of guns, artillery, and other firearms. If we continued to stay in that kind of group, we probably wouldn’t even know how we died in the future!”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t change his expression, “the way Captain Zhong dealt with the matter wasn’t really wrong. If they had really started the fight, then there wouldn’t have been just one dead, one injured that easy, also he kept most of the supplies. didn’t he?”

There was a strange smile on Ding Yan’s face as he looked at Chu Yunsheng and said, “you really think so?”

Then he suddenly changed his topic, “can you give me one cigarette now?”

The more Chu Yunsheng talked to Ding Yan, the more he felt that Ding Yan, this man, was very interesting. He took out a pack of cigarettes and threw one to Ding Yan and one to Yao Xiang. But when he was about to throw one to Yao Xiang, he saw Yao Xiang shook his head. Perhaps, he did not smoke.

After taking a long drag on the cigarette and exhaling a long plume of smoke, Ding Yan carried on, “I think you know where he did wrong more than I do. Do you know how shocked we were when we saw the things you did at that time? I must admit that I have underestimated you. With your power, if Captain Zhong could work with you and lead the whole team to stand on your side, that regiment commander wouldn’t dare to do anything!”

Chu Yunsheng nodded his head, he agreed with him. He had thought about this, but he was not a type of person who would ask help from other people. He knew that he needed to earn everything through hard work since the age of light!

“The university still needs the military artillery, so Captain Zhong would not oppose the military’s decision,” Chu Yunsheng casually explained as if he was trying to find an excuse for Captain Zhong.

Ding Yan sneered, “he just needed to take the lead to stand out, then everyone would follow. He didn’t even need to do anything else, it would be more than enough to intimidate them. If they had held back the military, he would’ve had the opportunity to watch you and the long-faced Gan kill each other.

And in the end, the long-faced would’ve definitely been killed and many people in his group would’ve been either dead or injured. Then you both would’ve needed to seek help from the escort team or the military, and the power of the military and the university’s escort team would’ve been balanced out. Then not only would the military not do anything to Zhong Nan, they would also have to carry on supporting him.”

Chu Yunsheng was surprised by his reasoning. He had thought about that if Zhong Nan stood on his side, then that detestable Commander Du would’ve stayed back. But he had not thought of anything other than that. Because he felt that he did not need to consider that kind of thing.

Ding Yan smiled, “look what it has become now, not only has the team members lost their faith in the escort team, but one of the buses has also been taken away, more importantly, the military force’s power has become stronger, no one will support him like what they did before!”

Chu Yunsheng thought for a second and said, “at that time, not everyone would think that much and that far. Also, that thing is over now, it has nothing to do with me anymore.”

Ding Yan smiled, he did not refute the thing Chu Yunsheng said. He just carried on inhaling and exhaling the smoke, “I am just explaining the reason why we left the team.”

Looking at the moving crowd, Chu Yunsheng was worried that the military escort unit would start to move out at any time. He threw the cigarette butt away and said, “in this case, you both can take care of yourself, I hope that we can live to see each other next time!”

However, Ding Yan stopped him, who was about to leave, and said bluntly, “we have been following you since you left, we want to partner up with you.”

Chu Yunsheng already knew why they were here after the talk, but he did not need to partner with anyone at the moment. Because the things he was going to do would involve assassinating, ambushing, sneak-attacking, etc. So the more people followed him the more trouble he would get.

Therefore, he shook his head, “I don’t need to partner up with anyone at the moment.”

But Ding Yan said categorically, “no! You need it! I know you need to find the Long-faced Gan and kill him. But you can’t do it alone. You will not be able to watch them every single second, and you may lose them at any time. So you need an informant, a spy to provide you their locations, and I can be that spy!”

Chu Yunsheng was shocked. It was not surprising that Ding Yan could guess that he would be chasing the Long-faced Gan, and probably the Long-faced Gan also knew that as well.

He was shocked and curious why Ding Yan would want to be his spy? Their relationship was not that close, and he would not be stupid enough to believe that he had a special kind of charm that would attract someone to do that for him!

More importantly, Chu Yunsheng did not trust Ding Yan, he even began to suspect that this was a trap set up by Ding Yan in order to please the military. And the more he thought that way the angrier he became. And the more angry he was the more hostile he was towards him.

In the end, he even thought about killing him!
