Dark Blood Age

Chapter 677: Chapter 677 I Miss Her Very Much

Coming out of Song Zihuai’s office, Chu Yunsheng was a little disappointed. Like Fang Baixiao, Song Zihuai didn’t know a lot about the old man Yi Jing. Except for some information that had been going around in the upper-class social circles for a long time, there were no valuable clues.

But when Chu Yunsheng asked if there was something called the “Dragon Chapters” in the hands of the old man Yi Jing, Song Zihuai said strangely: “Dragon Chapters? Isn’t it something that exists in myths?”

This sentence made him realize something all of sudden. Together with Old Youling, who was still studying the historical records, he went through many records, and finally took a few ancient books and said in shock, “As I expected, this thing is indeed real!”

The reason why he was so shocked was not that he found some information in the historical records, but because he remembered why he was familiar with the word.

It was the Monolith, the thing that even impressed the senior practitioner!

He had touched it once. It was at that time, he saw many historical events. One of the historical events was someone shouting, “Goddess Of Nine Heavens has given us the heavenly book – The Dragon Chapters! We will win!”(Chapter 162)

The events he saw after touching the Monolith surprisingly overlapped with the events that happened inside Pseudo-Monolith!

Chu Yunsheng’s heart kept beating fast, and the logic of time also unfolded with the habit of deep thinking. This scene appeared before he saw the senior practitioner, about two thousand years BC, which was somewhere around four thousand years ago, and the time the senior practitioner appeared should be around five thousand years ago. So by the time the dragon chapters appeared, the senior practitioner would have been long gone.

Therefore, the senior practitioner’s calculation of Tian Gu’s recovery time should not be wrong. He was not a god, and it was impossible for him to know that someone used The Dragon Chapters to mend the heavens after he died, but he also seemed to foresee it, because the great darkness still arrived at the time he calculated. Otherwise, why did he sigh?

The owner of the “Dragon Chapters” that was bestowed on humans seemed to come and go in a hurry. Although Chu Yunsheng didn’t know what happened, it didn’t seem like a lie when “they” claimed to be coming back to stop the heavens crack. But that thing would happen three hundred years later, so at the moment, it had nothing to do with him.

The only thing he had to pay close attention to now was to figure out what the old man Yi Jing had to do with “The Dragon Chapters”?

If he was really with Duo Neng Race, then this trouble would become even bigger.

But right now, stealing food and disrupting the force in the west of Shanghai was imperative, otherwise, there would be no chance of victory in the city’s unification battle one month later, but if there was an opportunity, Chu Yunsheng would also want to see this old man Yi Jing again.

“Old Youling, the Phantom Warriors of the Phantom Sect should not be mixed up with Xiaohai’s Awakener’s Force. The techniques you teach them are very special and are not in the same system with them, so it may cause some problems if we mix them together.” Chu Yunsheng knew that if there was a slight problem with the cultivation method, it would be very dangerous to practice, so he told Old Youling carefully. “Nowadays, any power is precious and cannot be lost for no reason. The reason why we were able to occupy the scientific research base was that Song Zihuai and other people were prepared. Having said that the performance of Lin Shuiyao and your deputy sect leader wasn’t bad as well. So they can both lead the Phantom Warriors and act alone. Yu Xioahai’s awakeners will be responsible for clearing all the man-eating creatures in the surrounding area. Your sect will be mainly responsible for eliminating all the insects apart from the black-ridged red-shelled insects. Lastly, ask Zhao Baozhu to gather those black-ridged insects. Two months later, those insects will be our main force!”

Old Youling hadn’t mentioned Phantom Sect for a long time. It just wanted to downplay it, hoping that Chu Yunsheng would forget it, but it didn’t expect that Chu Yunsheng would still remember it, so it said hurriedly, “Boss, it wasn’t my idea, it was all because of that -”

However, it was instantly interrupted by Chu Yunsheng, “I don’t want to hear this nonsense! I know what you are thinking in your mind, but I don’t care, because you are useful to me at the moment. So just do what I told you. Do you understand?”

“I understand…” Old Youling responded dispiritedly.

…

After leaving Old Youling’s room, Chu Yunsheng gathered Yu Xiaohai, Lin Shuiyao, and others in the scientific research base, took out twenty dark red tokens from the storage talisman, and gave them to them.

These dark red tokens were covered with complex and mysterious lines. They looked like oracle bone inscriptions picked up from the ruins. In fact, they were enchanted with the modified version of Level-3 Absorption Talismans, which could be reused repeatedly by other people. Of course, at the moment, those tokens didn’t have energy inside at the moment. Chu Yunsheng didn’t have that much energy to provide to everyone. He just gave them a tool so they could gather their energy by themselves.

Twenty dark red tokens with mysterious lines could only be allocated to a limited number of people because of the small number. Yu Xiaohai had twelve, and Lin Shuiyao only got eight. As for how to divide it further down, Chu Yunsheng simply let them decide it themselves.

In addition to the level-three Absorption Talismans, there were also a large number of level-two Absorption Talismans made on ordinary paper using the same technique. Although they were all one-offs, Chu Yunsheng didn’t have much energy and could only do it this way. Fortunately, while he still had Yuan Tian stage three’s strength in the last seven days, it didn’t require much energy to make level-two Absorption Talismans, so in the end, he made around two hundred level-two Absorption Talismans.

Unlike the sturdy dark red tokens, Chu Yunsheng would need to recover all these paper talismans. According to the amount of energy brought back by each person, he would reward them weapons and battle armor and even some simple offensive talismans.

However, all those rewards required materials to make, and Chu Yunsheng didn’t have that much material in hand. So using this method, it would boost other people’s enthusiasm, and encourage them to go out of the city to fight the monsters in the dark. In terms of the cultivation method, he could also use it as a reward as well. However, it that way, it would only delay the time and the speed of everyone increasing their strength would also be greatly reduced, which was the opposite of what he wanted.

Of course, it didn’t mean that he would give everyone a cultivation method. What if there was a spy in his force, and then the cultivation would be brought to the other side. It would instantly destroy the advantages that he tried to build.

Therefore as to who would get the cultivation method, he also asked Yu Xiaohai and Linshuiyao to decide. Chu Yunsheng would trust Yu Xioahai fully, but in terms of Lin Shuiyao, this woman was very smart and sly, and Chu Yunsheng didn’t like this type of person the most. However, it didn’t mean that he would not use this kind of person.

In order to keep eyes on her and restrain her, the only person Chu Yunsheng could use at the moment was the deputy sect leader of the phantom sect.

However, who would have thought that after Lin Shuiyao left with a dispirited look, Yu Xiaohai jokingly said, “Brother Chu, in fact, we don’t have to be wary of each other. If you really don’t trust her, you can just make her your woman, then all the problems would be solved!”

Hearing what he said, Chu Yunsheng took out a suit of armor from the talisman, slammed it on him, and said angrily, “get lost, if you dare to talk nonsense again, and I will ask you to group up with Old Youling!”

Although Yu Xiaohai dared to scold Old Youling, he was still afraid of it in his bones, so he didn’t dare to talk nonsense. When he was about to leave, he saw Chu Yunsheng suddenly stand up and walk to the window with a sad look. “Xiaohai, don’t make this kind of joke anymore, Li is no longer there, I’m very sad…”

He paused, and his eyes, which were gazing at the distant sky, were already wet by the tear, “I miss her very much…”

….

One day later, in the conference room of the military headquarters in the west of Shanghai, everyone had a report in front of them. After reading it, they all looked very solemn.

All the supplies in warehouses 7 and 8 disappeared overnight! Not a single grain left!

There were no problems with the security system and no loopholes in the monitoring system. The guards that were on duty didn’t know what happened.

“What kind of nonsense is this?”

The general sitting at the end of the conference table was about 60 years old. When darkness fell, he was temporarily transferred from the north. Because he had worked in the military area command before, many of them were his old subordinates and even cronies, so his prestige even surpassed the former commander-in-chief Chen. After he said that, his eyes swept coldly across the generals and government officials in the conference room.

“Commander-in-chief, nonsense of not, it is what happened, and someone must be behind it.” Deputy Commander Yao, sitting on the right-hand side of the commander-in-chief, said lightly. He was an administrative official and Song Zihuai’s old opponent. Originally, this incident had nothing to do with him, it was just a matter of the military, but when the supplies were gone, the trouble he faced became very big. He needed those grains to feed the many people in the west of Shanghai.

“Deputy commander Chen, who do you think it will be?” The commander-in-chief moved his gaze to the former Commander-in-chief Chen, and his voice softened slightly as if he was asking for advice.

Chen Zhidong’s eyelids twitched, and he raised his head instantly as if he had just woken up. He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, and said with a little embarrassment: “Let’s listen to Staff officer Zhu’s opinion first.”

There was a cold gleam in the commander-in-chief’s gaze, but he didn’t say anything, he still smiled at Chen Zhidong, and then looked at Zhu Xirui. “Since the deputy commander Chen said this, Staff officer Zhu what is your opinion?” His tone became serious, but his expression was encouraging.

Zhu Xirui secretly smiled bitterly. Since he clearly stated that he supported the current commander-in-chief, Chen Zhidong has been keeping his distance from him and not discussing anything with him. However, since it has already gotten to this point, he could only speak now, “Except for Chu Yunsheng, I don’t think anyone else has that kind of ability. I believe that everyone can still remember the fight eight days ago. He could take so many things out of thin air, which means that he must also have the ability to store those things somewhere.”

After he spoke, a representative of the Fire Race nodded and said: “Yes, he can also use my race’s battle suit. Although I don’t know how he did it, according to intelligence, he can indeed activate the stealth function of the battle suit.”

Deputy commander-in-chief Yao Yue was a fat man wearing a pair of glasses. Pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he interjected: “In this case, do you have a way to detect it?”

The Fire Race’s representative said coldly: “we can try it.”

Then there was a deployment discussion, and soon the meeting ended.

However, the mysterious theft of the warehouse did not end after the fire race offered their help.

On the second day, all the materials in Warehouse No. 3 disappeared. On the third day, the materials in Warehouse No. 11 disappeared. On the fifth day, the theft of warehouse No. 13 was detected, half of the security guards were killed, but the thief was not caught.

On the sixth day, the No. 5 grain warehouse was looted!

On the seventh day, both the military and the government couldn’t sit still anymore. Every day, the meetings became more and more intense. Only Chen Zhidong had his eyelids half-closed as if he was asleep.

“If the Duo Neng Celestial Race can’t solve this problem, they don’t need to cross the river to attack us, they will all starve to death!” near the Deputy Commander Yao Yue, a lean government official slammed the table heavily and said.

In the past few days, as many warehouses were looted one by one, the shortage of supply suddenly became more and more serious than before. The departments that came to beg for food almost tore him to pieces. Because of that, he was in a terrible mood.

The representatives of the Fire race stopped talking. All their detection methods had failed, but they still looked at the lean official indifferently as if he was a clown.

Facing the angry faces in the conference room, the representative of Duo Neng Race finally spoke: “According to our intelligence, Chu Yunsheng must have used a very advanced talisman technology. The level may be much higher than before. At present, our most advanced equipment is only enough to protect the two largest warehouses from being looted. In terms of others…”

He said helplessly: “We haven’t found a way for the time being. The only suggestion I can give you is to strengthen your security. Double the amount of security personnel, if possible, use as many security guards as possible, and leave no gasp behind.”

“If this is the case…” The Deputy Commander Yao paused, and then said in a deep voice, “The amount of food we have can only support us for half a month at most!”

He was the highest administrative officer. He knew the most about the material consumption of the city. As soon as he said this, it instantly caused a big commotion in the conference room.

“Quiet!” The commander-in-chief patted the table and said coldly: “In any case, please guard the last warehouse, and do not hesitate to defend it with heavy troops. As long as we make it through this month, new reinforcements from the Arctic base and the other celestial races will arrive and eliminate this devil!”

…

On the eighth day, Zhu Xirui’s residence.

“Dad, I heard that Warehouse No. 9 was looted again?” Zhu Lingdie asked carefully, looking at her extremely tired father.

Zhu Xirui struggled to sit up and said haggardly: “Lingdie, I want to send your mother and you to the Arctic Base in two days.”

Zhu Lingdie trembled all over, and said in disbelief: “Dad, are you…?”

She had never seen her father look so disappointed before, and she couldn’t help being shocked.

Zhu Xirui sighed: “The use of that missile already caused a serious disagreement within the military. However, the Duo Neng race controls so many people in the military, so in the end, the missile was still launched. Some people became disheartened because of that, and not only the people at the top, many lower-ranking officers feel the same way. Now that many warehouses were looted one by one, it only made people even more panicked. Before we even start the fight, we have already lost half of our men.”

Zhu Lingdie’s beautiful brows slightly furrowed, and said in confusion: “Dad, then why do you support the Duo Neng race?”

Zhu Xirui glanced at her daughter and said with a wry smile: “You really think it was because of discord between Dad and Fang Yuehou? Even if your dad is a petty-minded person, Fang Yuehouse is not that kind of person. He and I just share different beliefs. Your dad thinks that Chu Yunsheng is a devil, but he thinks he is our hope. We are just walking a different path, but the purpose is not much different.”

Zhu Lingdie’s expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, she said: “Dad, in fact, I still can’t figure out why you believe that Chu Yunsheng is a devil?”

This question has been circling in her heart for a long time, and it was also a question she could not figure out no matter how hard she tried.

Zhu Xirui looked at his most beloved daughter, smiled slightly, and slowly said: “Master Yi Jing would not say anything groundless. I know him well. He must have seen something.”

Zhu Lingdie continued without giving up: “But what Master Yi Jing said may not be true, and he returned to Qishan after the battle that day. Since then, we haven’t heard anything from him. If Chu Yunsheng is really a devil, why doesn’t he do anything? Didn’t he say that he would do anything to kill Chu Yunsheng?”

Zhu Xirui looked at her daughter with relief, took out a dozen forms from the briefcase, and handed it to her: “My daughter has finally grown up now. Indeed, with just a few words from the master, Dad would not believe it easily. Take a look at those forms. It is all the people gathered by Chu Yunsheng and their information. Except for Song Zihuai, and Fang Yuehou, how many good people can you find in those form papers? The so-called Phantom Sect Leader is just made of a group of criminals and psychopaths. There is a reason why people often say Birds of a feather flock together. If Chu Yunsheng is a good person, would he even use those people?”

Zhu Lingdie took a quick glance at the forms, but still insisted: “Dad, just relying on this, it is still not enough to prove that he is a devil.”
