Dark Blood Age - Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Chapter 693 The War Between Humans And Insects

Chu Yunsheng tried to see who the person below was, and tried to hear what the person was saying, however, no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t see or hear it. Then he suddenly woke up in a panic, his back sweaty and his face covered with cold tears.

There was a faint of sorrow in his heart, which made him feel strangely uncomfortable.

He frowned and had a strange feeling of panic. In this world, he seemed to have rarely dreamed, but as long as he dreamed, it must be a very strange dream. From the day he had woken up, plus the one he had just now, he had five nightmares in total.

The first one was a dream about a bloody man, looking at him from behind the mirror with desperate eyes. There were other messy things that finally made him wake up.

The second was that he stared at the cigarette case for a long time in the hotel in order to find the Eye of Providence; and then he had a nightmare. But after waking up at that time, he couldn’t remember the content of the dream.

The third one was even more terrifying. He actually dreamed that he had killed Dumb Insect with the long spear fused together by many Mins, and in the end, his attention was all drawn to that spear.

The fourth one was more absurd. Perhaps it was influenced by the blue-haired girl. That night, he dreamed of countless knights bravely launching a death charge towards him, shouting “Slay God”.

The fifth one was the one he had just now, a dream that could make him shed tears; and after waking up, there was still a strong lingering sorrow.

These five dreams were disorganized and chaotic. They didn’t seem to be related to each other, but they were all extremely weird, which made him uneasy and always felt that something bad was about to happen.

Maybe, it was a warning.

However, at this point, what else could it be? And how worse could it get? No.1 was sure that he was dead. So could there be anything worse than death in the world?

Chu Yunsheng wiped away the tears from his face, took out a flashlight from the talisman, and placed it on the cupboard next to the bed. In the light, he put on the clothes one by one.

He hadn’t had a haircut for a long time. They were unkempt on his head like a mop, making people frown on him every time they looked at him. His beard had also grown out again. Except for the new facial muscle on one side of his chin, the beard on the other side of the chin looked like the thorns of a cactus.

Perhaps due to the influence of being in the dark age for a long time, Chu Yunsheng has never had much energy and desire to take care of his appearance. However, he was now one of the most powerful figures inside a city with a population of tens of millions, so Song Zihuai had specially assigned a personal secretary to him and repeatedly reminded him of his image problem more than once.

However, because he didn’t take it seriously, the secretary couldn’t do anything about it.

After Chu Yunsheng put on the last coat, he heard the secretary knocking at the door. Thinking that there was a large-scale citywide meeting today, he thought that the secretary was probably here to remind him of his image problem again.

Unexpectedly, the secretary, whose surname was Ma, didn’t mention any of it but said urgently: “Mr. Chu, a series of small earthquakes have occurred underground in the west of the city. Several houses have collapsed because of that. Fortunately, there were no major casualties. But those small earthquakes were very strange. They happened irregularly as if something was moving under the ground. The military department would like to ask you to go over there and find out what caused it.”

Chu Yunsheng frowned, and calmly asked, “How many areas that had small earthquakes did the military find?”

Ma Hongyuan was Chu Yunsheng’s special contact secretary, so he must know some confidential information. Therefore, when he heard Chu Yunsheng’s inquiry, he immediately answered, “They have detected three areas, and they are moving towards the fourth War Zone.”

In order to better plan the city’s defense work, the entire city was divided into nine sections under Chu Yunsheng’s suggestion. The fourth War Zone was located in the first column, the second row on the map, facing west and inland. It was one of the key battle defense areas that had two main divisions and one division of new recruits. One of the major resolutions of today’s expansion conference was to enhance the defense in the west of the city by using food to gather a huge number of refugees to work for them.

Chu Yunsheng speeded up his pace and walked outwards while asking, “how long has it been since the incident happened?”

Secretary Ma glanced at the delicate mechanical watch on his wrist and said, “Less than an hour.”

Chu Yunsheng, who had already reached the door and was about to board the military vehicle, suddenly stopped, his brows frowned slightly, and said, “One hour? It’s too late to go to the military headquarters. Tell them to gather the awakeners and Phantom Warriors who are still able to fight at the fourth War Zone as soon as possible. Also, draw heavy troops from the east of Shanghai to assist the battle. We need at least four main divisions and two divisions of new recruits! In addition, evacuated all the civilians in the fourth War Zone immediately to other War Zones!”

Because it happened all of sudden, Chu Yunsheng did not blame the military department for its slow response. The chaos inside the city had just been suppressed, so it was already not too bad that they were able to get a report within an hour. Moreover, they had no idea whether it was an earthquake or something else. Only Chu Yunsheng could understand what it was. If there were no accidents, the underground movement was probably caused by golden-shelled insects, and it was very likely that there were more than three of them!

Chu Yunsheng wasn’t sure the purpose of their presence here yet. But he had some rough ideas in his mind, and he needed to go to the place to confirm it. If what he thought was correct, the first large-scale battle between humans and insects would most likely break out in the fourth War Zone.

After hurriedly giving a few more instructions, Chu Yunsheng immediately activated the battle armor and turned into a stream of light in a sonic boom, disappearing from the spot.

Secretary Ma gasped in shock, his heart beat rapidly as he got into the military vehicle. Every time he saw Chu Yunsheng, he felt a sense of confusion. A moment ago he was an unkempt man with an unshaven beard and disheveled hair. But in the next moment, he was exuding the heroic aura, like a sharp sword. Especially the smooth and mirror-like silver mask. He couldn’t see any expressions inside, but it reflected the cold world around him. With the cold gleams revealing on the surface of it, it would only make people shudder uncontrollably.

“Let’s go to the headquarters…”

After getting into the car, he took a deep breath. Looking at the place where Chu Yunsheng had disappeared, he calmed down and quickly said to the driver.

******

From far away, Chu Yunsheng could already feel the slight vibration under the ground, familiar and not kind.

The officers and soldiers who were stationed in the Fourth War Zone are trying to maintain the order of the refugees while evacuating them.

The golden-shelled insect has not yet appeared. It was probably lurking underneath the ground. This was their usual instinct and habit. They were probably waiting for the swarm on the ground to attack. Thus, this period of time became an extremely precious line of life and death in the fourth War Zone.

But since the incident happened, it had almost been an hour. The insects gathering outside were probably densely packed, and waiting for the final command.

Without any delay, Chu Yunsheng immediately found the commanders of the two main divisions, one of which was originally from the forces in the east of Shanghai, and the other one had just been promoted.

With the latest information from the chubby commander Liu Yimin, Chu Yunsheng finally confirmed his guess; and when he arrived at the space tunnel, he was even more sure about it.

Looking at the severely distorted space tunnel, it was as if it was under some kind of stress, it was extremely unstable. Many meatballs were constantly coming out from the inside, and the speed that they came out gradually increased. Compared to the space tunnels in other areas in the city, the number of meatballs coming out from this space tunnel was much more.

Most likely, there was a huge swarm behind this space tunnel, that there was most likely a tomb breeder in the swarm as well!

“They won’t come out just yet.”

Chu Yunsheng felt that the vibrations coming from underneath the ground became more and more intense. While pulling out the sword, he looked at the darker place further west, and said in a deep voice to Liu Yimin and the other two commanders: “But they are slowly getting ready!”
