Dark Blood Age

Chapter 653: Chapter 653 Where Are You?

Translator: Doggotranslation

The SWAT police’s camp was not nearby. It was about 2 kilometers away from here. Half an hour ago, they heard the sound of the train, so they guessed that something might have happened. After quickly putting on their equipment, they rushed over in the dark. Halfway through, they met Luo Dalian’s sentry. Because of nervousness, the gun went off. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Yu Jian said that he wanted to return to the camp, which might delay some time, but Chu Yunsheng agreed, because a special police officer had died while waiting for him, and since the body could not be transported back, they could only take his ashes to his family.

The work of burning the body of the SWAT officer was handed to a fire elemental energy awakener. Out of respect for the dead, Chu Yunsheng told Yu Jian that after returning to Shanghai, he would personally give the ashes to the family of the dead. Perhaps in Feng Yingxi’s eyes, his motive was to buy people’s loyalty, but to Chu Yunsheng, he was only doing it because he thought that it was the right thing to do.

During this period, Luo Dalian’s two sets of simple stretchers were also completed. The materials were all taken from the train, and because they were simply pieced together, it was inevitable that they looked ugly, but at this time, who would want to complain about this?

The blue-haired girl constantly refused to get on the stretcher and said a lot of words that no one could understand. Only Chu Yunsheng could understand what she was trying to say. It was not because of the simplicity of the stretcher, but she didn’t dare to let the two people, actually, two Gai Yi carry her.

Seeing her force herself to walk, Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to waste time changing her mind. Once she collapsed, she would eventually be moved onto the stretcher by other people.

So when leaving, only Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the stretcher.

Amongst a thousand people that had escaped from Nanjing, only a small amount of people decided to take risks and go back to their own home city in other provinces. The majority of people chose to follow Chu Yunsheng to go to Shanghai.

Regarding this matter, the boss Feng didn’t spend much effort to persuade people, and in the end, the leader was still him.

The road to Shanghai was full of unknowns. It was very unpredictable like the darkness obscured people’s sight, which added a sense of panic to the otherwise unremarkable wilderness, and no one knew what kind of monster would pop out of the darkness, attack them, bite them, and swallow them bone by bone.

The path ahead was like a monster with a huge open mouth, and they were lined up to walk into it bit by bit. The dark surroundings seemed to have hidden innumerable greedy eyes, watching them moving their feet and following them, ready to pounce and turn the weak human beings into a heap of food.

Without the shelter of the city, in the dark wild, human beings were like newborn babies, extremely difficult to survive.

However, the journey went surprisingly calm. There were no monsters like what they had imagined, nor were there any swarms like what Chu Yunsheng had said. Even Yu Jian, who had been waiting for many days outside Nanjing also felt very strange. Is it really like what they said? Those monsters are scared of Chu Yunsheng?

Regarding this statement, Yu Jian had also asked Luo Dalian and the soldiers in his team. He still found it hard to believe. Although Chu Yunsheng was indeed very strong, he still didn’t believe that he would be able to fly into the sky and move freely in the air. That was not something humans could do.

However, what he got was still the same answer. So in the end, he had no choice but to ask Chu Yunsheng. If Chu Yunsheng really had that kind of ability, then the journey ahead would be very smooth.

“Do you believe this too?”

After telling the doubts in his heart, Yu Jian was asked directly by Chu Yunsheng.

“But they–” Yu Jianxiang wanted to turn around and point to Feng Yingxi and others, explaining the source of the doubt, but he was immediately interrupted.

“Don’t look back.” Chu Yunsheng said lightly: “Something is watching us.”

“Watching us?” Yu Jian was shocked. He was a senior SWAT officer. Reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance were supposed to be something he was good at, but why didn’t he feel anything?

But when he thought of it again, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Their group wasn’t small. There were hundreds of people traveling with him. However, after walking this far, they haven’t encountered anything, not even a dog or a cat. This was not normal at all.

What was watching them that other monsters didn’t even dare to approach them? Yu Jian was not afraid, but he was very nervous. He knew clearly in his heart that the thing that could do this would not be weak at all.

How did Chu Yunsheng discover it?

He had checked Chu Yunsheng’s information many times before. He used to be an ordinary person. Although he later had some special abilities, it was mainly combat skills. The experience of reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance was not something that anyone could have in just one day or two. It required long-term training and actual combat experience.

Also, why couldn’t he turn around? There were many people in the crowd, and they were all looking around, and there were also a lot of people looking at the back of the crowd.

“It’s been probing me, don’t look back when you stand near me, otherwise it will think I’m scared.” Chu Yunsheng seemed to know what he was thinking and said calmly: “It’s okay, you should pretend that nothing has happened, walk away from me, and do anything that you are supposed to do.”

“What is it?” Seeing that Chu Yunsheng wasn’t nervous at all, Yu Jian was very impressed by it. As a senior SWAT officer, he knew what it felt like to have a gun constantly pointed at his back. Even a good and experienced SWAT officer would not be so calm.

Chu Yunsheng was just an ordinary person. Since when did he have this kind of psychological qualities? Yu Jian felt that since the first time he saw Chu Yunsheng, this man seemed to be always surrounded by mysteries, and no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t see through him.

“I don’t know.” Chu Yunsheng thought about it and then said, “I only ‘see’ to a pair of ‘eyes’.”

“Will it be a large octopus monster?” Yu Jian thought that Nanjing was by the river, and based on the recent experiences, he made a guess.

Chu Yunsheng said quietly: “You don’t need to guess, I don’t know what it is so I can’t tell you if what you guessed is correct or not. It has been following us since we started moving, but it is very careful, and it has already checked every awakener in our group.”

Hearing Chu Yunsheng could explain it clearly, Yu Jian thought that Chu Yunsheng already had a countermeasure, so he asked with hope, “can you defeat it if it attacks us?”

“If I am not seriously injured, I can fight it to a tie, but now, I am no match for it.” Chu Yunsheng said calmly: “However, it is overly cautious, and it is probably not sure if I am injured.”

Yu Jian glanced at him, puzzled: “Aren’t you already on the stretcher? Can’t it tell?”

Chu Yunsheng glanced at him and smiled slightly: “You are using your way of thinking to think about the problem, we don’t even know what it is, how do we know what it thinks? Maybe to it, the reason why you are carrying me is because I have a high status in our group, this will only make it act even more carefully.”

Yu Jian looked at Chu Yunsheng in surprise, and only after a while did he finally say, “It’s a pity that you were not criminal investigation police.”

However, what he didn’t know was that Chu Yunsheng’s ability to observe so keenly had nothing to do with his innate qualities. It was just that he had been through too many things.

He was just deceived by Chu Yunsheng’s young appearance.

“Stop talking, there is something else that is coming!” Chu Yunsheng frowned slightly. At the moment, the sword he was holding detected a new wave of energy fluctuation.

“It’s getting closer to it!” Chu Yunsheng frowned deeper.

Yu Jian didn’t dare to make a sound at this moment, fearing that it would disturb Chu Yunsheng’s mysterious detection ability.

“It’s too cautious. It is hesitant!” Chu Yunsheng patiently waited, like a tiger lying in the grass waiting to attack, motionless.

“That thing started attacking it!” Chu Yunsheng said one sentence after another, making Yu Jian’s heart beat faster and faster. Who would have thought that there was an invisible fight going on right now?

“It… It is looking at me! It is worried… The opportunity is here!”

Chu Yunsheng suddenly leaped from the stretcher, the ice crystal armor quickly emerged. He stepped on people’s heads and flew towards the back of the crowd like an arrow left the bowstring, the red cloak fluttered rapidly in the air, like a cloud of fire fluttering in the darkness, glowing the bright light.

Yu Jian was taken aback, Chu Yunsheng suddenly jumped up without any signs. The refugees behind him were all very confused. They only felt that a cloud of fire just flew across their heads, and then they felt that someone tapped on their heads.

Then the marching crowd suddenly became chaotic, pushing each other and even trampled each other in panic. No one knew where the danger came from, but they just wanted to find a place to hide or run away.

Yu Jian shouted and tried to calm the crowd down. At the same time, he called over some of his team members and quickly followed Chu Yunsheng. All the guns were loaded and all the safety was released. A bloody fight was about to start.

Under his influence, although Luo Dalian and Feng Yingxi didn’t know what happened, in a tense atmosphere, they left the chaotic crowd and followed them.

At the moment, Chu Yunsheng had already disappeared from their sight, but the residual images of a fiery cloak were still in their eyes.

When they arrived in a hurry, they found that Chu Yunsheng was confronting an insect, and the atmosphere was very weird.

“Red-shelled insect?” Yu Jian said in confusion.

“No, it’s gone.” Chu Yunsheng’s eyes didn’t leave the insect in front of him for a moment, as if he was thinking about something else.

Yu Jian seemed to suddenly remember something. While holding a gun vigilantly, he quickly reminded Chu Yunsheng, “Mr. Chu, there are good and bad insects, you have to be careful!”

However, in the anxious eyes of everyone, Chu Yunsheng made a move that shocked everyone. He sheathed the sword, and then walked straight in front of the insect, stood quietly for a while, and finally stretched out his right hand to stroke its head!

“Mr. Chu-?” The heart of Yu Jian, who had once been attacked by one of them, was in his throat. He felt like in the next moment, the insect would suddenly jump up and bite Chu Yunsheng’s head off.

But they were stunned to see that the insect took the initiative to lean its head up and rub its head against Chu Yunsheng’s hand like a kitten asking for a pet from its master.

Yu Jian, Feng Yingxi, and other people gasped in shock. Yes, although there were insects that didn’t attack humans, they all would keep their distance away from humans, and if they dared to approach closer to them, they would often snarl fiercely. They had never seen an insect that would allow a human being to pet it.

However, Chu Yunsheng’s gaze moved across the black ridge on the back of the red-shelled insect, staring at the darkness in the distance: “Ming, where are you?”
