Dark Blood Age

When the swarm finally retreated, it was already 08:00 the next day. All the gaps in the defence line were fixed. Now, many soldiers were busy moving the bodies and other injured soldiers behind the defence line.

The dark warriors in the dark warrior regiment of the 9th division were also exhausted, especially Lu Guolong; he had already passed out because of exhaustion.

Chu Yunsheng sat on the ground to eat the food that was sent to him by the second division’s logistics personnel, despite the blood on the ground. He was also very tired, so he didn’t want to spend time to find a clean place to eat.

“May I ask, who is Chu Yunsheng?” an officer said politely. He was wearing a pair of glasses, and there was also a briefcase underneath his armpit.

“I am!” said Chu Yunsheng. He was leaning against the ice wall that they had just fixed and secretly using the absorption talisman to absorb the energy from the red-shelled insects inside the ice.

“Hello Mr. Chu, my name is Qiu Shaoqin, I’m from the second division’s headquarters. The division commander would like to discuss something with you. Could you…” said Qiu Shaoqin, while adjusting his glasses.

Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows. Not only was he extremely tired at the moment, but he also wanted to use the break time to absorb Yuan Qi from the red-shelled insects. Time was extremely precious to him. He even forced himself to stay awake to absorb the monsters’ energy. How did he have time to talk to someone, who he didn’t even know.

Not to mention that he already knew that most of Du Qishan’s men were in the second division, and they all knew about his ability, what if they wanted him to bomb the tombs as well? It would only make both sides embarrassed.

“I’m eating at the moment and I still need a break later on. I’ll go talk to him, but not now!” Chu Yunsheng simply replied. After he finished absorbing the energy, he could find any excuses to run away from here. For example, he could say the Western defence line needed their immediate assistance…

“But, Mr. Chu, can you not do it now…” Qiu Shaoqin wanted to carry on, but Chu Yunsheng had already closed his eyes. He instantly raised his brows. Even the gun king also would not show such disrespect.

But the commander and the political commissar had repeatedly warned him to show as much respect as possible, so he had no choice but to let out a dry laugh.

Just right after Qiu Shaoqin left, another group of people came to look for Chu Yunsheng. Chu Yunsheng found that the man who led the group looked very familiar.

“Brother Chu! They were right. It really is you. You really didn’t die!” Shouted the man before he even approached Chu Yunsheng. He seemed to be very excited.

Chu Yunsheng was a little speechless. Why would everyone say this to him when they met him again? It was as if it was not normal that he was still alive.

Professor Sun said this; Ding Yan also said it; so did Yao Xiang, Ban Shijun, and this man.

Chu Yunsheng had already realised who this man was. He was Qian Deduo, Qian big mouth, who he knew back in the Dong Shen university’s escort team.

“Why are you here?” Chu Yunsheng immediately changed the subject. He had experienced enough troubles caused by this guy’s mouth. He had to avoid it.

“Oh… Dong Shen university was following the second division during the evacuation. So when we arrived in the city, we still followed them… Brother Chu, you don’t know… we had been through…” Qian Deduo simply sat on the floor with them and “activated” his non-stop talking ability.

Everyone else was stunned.

“Okay… stop… We can talk about this later… Who told you that I’m still alive?” Chu Yunsheng immediately stopped him. There was only one person that he could think of that was able to compete with this guy’s non-stop talking ability, and that person was Yu Xiaohai.

“Ban Shijun came by yesterday, then someone in the first regiment also leaked out some of your information. But there are too many rumours, so we don’t know which one is real. But it doesn’t matter now. I finally got to see you in person. Almost could not recognize you!” He then suddenly approached Chu Yunsheng and winked his eyes, and then whispered to Chu Yunsheng, “brother Chu, your celebrity friend is still alive. Originally, we were planning to go to the western district to see you when we first heard that you were still alive. But we did not expect that the insect suddenly started to push the front line!”

“Oh, was it?” Chu Yunsheng smiled. He did not like Lin Shuiyao, because he thought that she was a smart woman, and he was scared that she would use him once again.

“Since we came to Jin Ling city, we have been living in the southern district. Then I joined the gun king’s gang.” Qian Deduo knew Chu Yunsheng would not believe him, so he just let out a hollow laugh. But in the next second, he suddenly seemed to remember something. After quickly looking around, he whispered to Chu Yunsheng, “brother Chu, the gun king was injured by someone, a few of his strongest men were also injured as well. That’s the reason why we couldn’t fix the gaps and needed to request assistance…”

“Injured? How? Who did it?” Chu Yunsheng’s heart instantly sank. At this crucial moment, why would someone injure him? No wonder he only saw Shen Shaoze.

“I don’t know, but the rumour says that they were injured by a man in the red cloak. However, no one actually saw it, the gun king also prohibited any information from spreading out,” said Qian Deduo.

“The man in the cloak!?” Chu Yunsheng suddenly stood up. ‘It is the cloaked man again, what does he want, why does he choose this moment to injure the gun king. Is he with an insect?” He was completely puzzled.

“What about the other two kings?” Chu Yunsheng thought for a second then asked.

“They are all at the defence line. Look, over there, the third division’s ice king is still there. And apparently, the fire king has been staying at the Eastern defence line for two days now.” Qian Deduo was startled by Chu Yunsheng’s reaction. He didn’t know why Chu Yunsheng would act like this.

Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows and thought, ‘if the cloaked man is really with an insect, why didn’t he attack two other kings? Why would he let “fake” Qi Xuan go to the battle to kill insects?’

Location: The Second Division Command Headquarters.

“Commander, Chu Yunsheng didn’t seem to want to come here.” Qiu Shaoqin told them what happened.

“Oh, if he doesn’t want to come, let’s go visit him!” said Yang Baili. He put down the pen, and then picked up the hat from the table.

“Commander, do you really think it’s necessary? You still have documents you need to check, just ask Xiao Qiu to try one more time!” Political commissar Quan immediately stopped him. This Chu Yunsheng guy was really arrogant. How could the commander of the second division go to visit him instead!

“Old Quan take a look at this report. From last night until now, 30 of his gang members, not a single person died. There was only one person who had minor injuries, and it was caused by their own people. This is his real power, and this is why he deserves a visit.” said Yang Baili, he put the hat on and gently knocked the table.

“How did he do it?” Political commissar Quan immediately picked up the report and started to read it quickly.

“That’s why I need to visit him!” Yang Baili had already put on his military coat and started to walk outside.

…Meanwhile at the front line…

Chu Yunsheng’s mind was filled with the cloaked man after Qian Deduo left. The cloaked man was like a time bomb that could explode at any time!

What he worried about the most was the uncertainty of the cloaked man’s real strength. According to Qi Xuan’s last words, he was at least at Rank-5, but he had no idea how powerful a Rank-5 dark warrior was.

At the moment, the only information he could use to judge the cloaked man’s power was: “the gun king and his men fought the cloaked man to a draw.”

Just when he planned to go back to the western district to have a discussion with Ding Yan about this, he saw a group of people walking towards him from the second division.

“Hello, Mr. Chu, my name is Yang Baili!” said Yang Baili while smiling. Only

“Hello, commander Yang.” Chu Yunsheng reached his hand out to have a handshake with him.

“Mr. Chu, first of all, on behalf of the second division and the deceased regiment commander Du Qishang, I thank you for what you did back in the fog city. I’ll request GCH to reward you for what you did.” Yang Baili’s voice was deep and strong.

“Thank you, but I don’t need any reward, everyone was just trying to save themselves, so was I,” Chu Yunsheng declined.

“Mr. Chu does not seek fame and fortune. You are truly a great man!” said Yang Baili. He then suddenly changed the topic, “to be honest with you Mr. Chu, I admire your ability, but since you have already joined the 9th division, and Old Fu is also my old friend, I will not ask you to come to my division anymore, but I have a simple suggestion, so I don’t know if you are interested.” he said bluntly.

“Please!” Chu Yunsheng smiled.

“I have heard something about you from staff officer Tao, and I think I have a rough idea about what you want. I can provide those things to you, and I don’t care what you need those things for, all we need is that if you can help us when our division is in danger!” Yang Baili simply said. After the gun king was injured, his dark warrior regiment’s power was greatly decreased.

Moreover, Ban Shijun and other military dark warriors, who were originally in his division were all transferred into the special force. That was why he sent the reinforcement request to the 9th division, which was the nearest division to them, so many times.

Yang Baili clearly felt that this guy could not be restrained by Fu Liaoyuan and Zhu Lingdie, so he believed that he could get a promise from this man.
