Dark Blood Age

Under the hot sun, the vast desert was burning like the fire on the stove. The scorching heat wave swept through every inch of the land, making people breathless.

The wind was searing, and as it blew past, it kicked up layers of sands like a giant invisible hand, completely shrouding the sky.

In this sandy storm, there were the two little figures: The Silhouette Being and Zhou Daqian's five years old daughter.

When the little girl woke up a few days ago, she couldn't stop crying. She tried to look for her parents, but all she could find was the Silhouette Being who was lying on the ground motionless. She was scared and exhausted, but she didn't dare to sleep. Especially at night, there were always some strange noises echoing in the desert, scaring her into crying from time to time.

The Silhouette Being was annoyed by her crying. He wished he could kill her and stopped her from crying once for all. Helplessly, he could not move, nor could it open his mouth.

On several occasions, the Silhouette Being was even on the verge of losing his mind. He was in a terrible mood. His life force had been drained away and his consciousness was severely damaged. He was in great danger, but this little girl just wouldn't leave him and wouldn't stop crying next to him. It was simply exasperating.

It was true that the little girl had been feeding him after she found some food and water from the backpack scattered on the ground, and without her, he would've probably died of starvation, but the Silhouette Being didn't feel grateful. To him, being saved by a lowly human was the greatest humiliation.

Since Chu Yunsheng was no longer with him, humans were no longer useful to him.

Therefore, the Silhouette Being had made up his mind and planned to kill the little girl first once he regained his mobility.

The little girl seemed to know that the Silhouette Being was still alive. For her, this was the greatest surprise in the last few days. Every day, she would say a lot of things to the Silhouette Being and take care of him like taking care of a doll. After all, they were the only people left in the entire oasis.

In the past few days, the little girl gradually stopped crying and started to gather the scattered backpacks together and put the food and water in a backpack that was even bigger than her. After she finally finished with her preparation, she bit her lips, clenched her little fist, and decided to look for her mom and dad.

"Elder Brother Little Eight, why don't you talk?"

"Are you angry at me again?"

"I will leave water and cookies here. You can eat them when you are hungry."

The Silhouette Being was furious. What did the little girl think he was? A dog? Or a toy?

He actually knew what the little girl was doing, but he didn't want her help. In his eyes, human beings were all inferior creatures.

In order to shield the Silhouette Being from the burning sunlight, the little girl picked the green leaves of the thorny desert plants to make a simple hat for him. For this, she had several cuts in her little hands and arms.

Looking at the green hat on his head, the Silhouette Being sneered in his mind, "Huh! You think I would thank you for this?!"

While he was thinking like this, the little girl continued,

"Elder Brother Little Eight, I'm leaving now. I am going to look for mom and dad."

The Silhouette Being thought to himself, 'Good! Hurry up and get lost! Get as far away from me as possible!'

"Elder Brother Little Eight, I'm really going now."

"Elder Brother Little Eight, are you sure you don't want to come with me?"

"Okay, then I will go by myself."

The little girl dragged her huge backpack, walked a few steps, and then looked back. She walked a few steps again and looked back again as if she was waiting for her Elder Brother Little Eight to catch up with her.

After a long time, the little girl's figure seemed to finally disappear from the Silhouette Being's eyes. Looking at the starry sky, the Silhouette Being inexplicably remembered his childhood, his eyes gradually became cold.

On the next day, when the Silhouette Being woke up, he found that the little girl had come back and was still sleeping beside him.

"Elder Brother Little Eight, I've decided. I'm going to take you with me. Let's go find mom and dad together."

"I'm not going to leave you here alone. Don't worry. I'll take care of you."

"Elder Brother Little Eight, do you have mom and dad?"

"Elder Brother Little Eight, do you think we can find them?"

…

Just like how he always felt, the Silhouette Being still felt that the little girl was very annoying.

….

That afternoon, the little girl tied the little boy with the rope she found from an abandoned backpack, and then pulled the little boy who was extremely heavy for her small body away with her. Under the scorching sun, she pulled the rope with all her strength, causing her broken shoes that had revealed her toes to sink deep into the sand. Her small body arched into the shape of a shrimp, trying to exert more strength. The rope was embedded deep into her shoulder, bruising her tender shoulder skin. Every time she exerted strength, she would let out a weak and muffled snort,

Her little face flushed because she was too weak, and the bean-sized beads of sweat on her forehead constantly flowed down her scattered soft hair in the hot sun.

She first pulled the little boy for a short distance, and then came back to pull the big backpack over. After that, she would take a short rest, and then continued to pull the little boy forward again, slowly moving in the hot desert with difficulty.

Time and time again, the two little figures would use the large backpack to prevent them from being covered by the sand, but they would still repeatedly fall down the sand dunes accidentally or be blown over by the sandy wind…

The Silhouette Being still couldn't move. Looking at the back of the little girl's strenuously arched body, he sneered in his heart, 'You think because you do this, I'll sympathize with you and thank you? The reason why I helped that Chu human to attack those beings with Cardinal Source Gate strength was to teach those garbage a lesson. Do you really think I care about you lowly humans? What a joke!"

******

Sari, scarf, and loose trousers.

From the dress of the people in front of him, Chu Yunsheng could understand who those people were.

A middle-aged Indian man with a gray scarf wrapped around his head stopped in front of Chu Yunsheng. He looked at the bulging backpack behind him, lowered his head to write something in a small book, and then said proudly in English without even raising his head."Chinese? Or Japanese? Or Korean? Do you know the rules here?"

Chu Yunsheng also looked at him, but his eyes immediately moved past him and fell on a long earthen wall behind the man. It was probably newly built. The dry and cracked soil layer still exuded the smell of wet mud. Surrounded by a thinner area of the jungle, it was almost two meters high. Through the gate in the middle, Chu Yunsheng could see the crowds and tents inside. This place should be the official Indian camp in the new world.

After Chu Yunsheng followed the crowd of naked people here, it was already getting late. The first reason for him to follow them here was that he wanted to wait for Ashe and Buterne; the second reason was that he wanted to get some clothes; so he replied in English, "Chinese, what are the rules?"

The middle-aged Indian man continued to write without raising his head, "Name, occupation, age, and do you have any criminal record?"

Chu Yunsheng frowned. Why did he want to know this kind of information? What was the point of knowing this? Did they still have their government?

Noticing that Chu Yunsheng did not reply immediately, the man raised his head and looked at Chu Yunsheng condescendingly, "What's wrong? Did you not hear my questions? Regarding the rules, all the supplies such as food and medicine will be managed by the city, so if you have any food and medicine with you, you need to hand them over."

Hearing what the man said, Chu Yunsheng immediately gave up the idea of entering the city. Just by entering the city, he would lose all his food, it was not worth it. Moreover, he didn't have to get into the city. As long as the blood horsemen appeared, he could still see them outside the city. In terms of the clothes, there were still people coming in and out of the city, so exchanging some clothes from them was not a problem either.

However, just when he turned around and was about to leave, the middle-aged man suddenly grabbed his arms and said in a commanding tone, "Where are you going!"

Chu Yunsheng's eyes became cold. This was the second time that someone wanted to take his backpack. He said coldly, "I don't want to enter the city now, so it's none of your business!"

"Even if you don't want to get into the city, you still enjoy the safety brought by our city, so you still have to hand over your food and medicine." The middle-aged man said arrogantly, not scared of Chu Yunsheng's cold glare at all.

Feeling amused, Chu Yunsheng turned around and asked sarcastically, "What if I don't want to hand them over?"

The man looked at Chu Yunsheng coldly, waved his hand to soldiers with guns at the gate, and said coldly, "If you violate the rules, we have the right to use force, and if you resist, we even have the right to kill you."

Seeing the guards walking toward him, Chu Yunsheng snorted coldly. But just when he wanted to teach those people a lesson, He Xiaoning hurriedly walked before him and apologized to the middle-aged man, "I'm sorry, we don't really know the rules here, so please forgive us."

He Xiaoning knew that Chu Yunsheng had some skills, but she still didn't think that Chu Yunsheng would be able to block bullets.

Chu Yunsheng had saved her before, so she didn't want to watch him die like this.

Before three soldiers arrived, she quickly took out a pack of native food and stuffed it into the middle-aged man's arms. "If you let us through, we will give you more of this, and it is for you only." She whispered in clumsy English.

The middle-aged man smiled in satisfaction. If they had done this before, he wouldn't have called the soldiers over.

After receiving the food, he deliberately said loudly, "Since the bag isn't filled with food and medicine, you can go in."
