Dark Blood Age

Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Jing Tian sat on a cold bench quietly. She was both familiar and unfamiliar with this place. Half a year ago, she had sat on the same bench in this lab alone quietly reading the book she liked.

Half a year later, she still sat here, but the difference was that she was no longer waiting for the class bell to ring, instead, she was a participant here waiting to do a test that could cause instant death.

“Number 5, please get ready.”

Jing Tian closed the diary, a slight yellow tint old photo accidentally slipped off the book and dropped to the ground. She bent over her skinny body to pick it up, and gently moved her fingers across the photo to touch those familiar faces as if she had gone back to those old days. She smiled when her fingers stopped at a young boy’s face.

She calmly put the photo back into the book, held it in her arms, and then walked straight towards that cold door. Behind that door, several indifferent eyes were looking at her.

Jing Tian calmly walked through the door and said, “let’s start it.”

“Bang!”

The waiting room’s door was kicked open.

“Jing Tian!”

Her body trembled for a split second as if it was struck by lightning. She slowly turned around. But what she saw next made her drop the dairy.

“Ge (Brother in Chinese)” doubts, shock, happiness... All kinds of feelings started to emerge within her.

“What are you doing!?” Chu Yunsheng immediately ran over to get her.

On the way to the lab, he had already learned what the so-called new food experiment was.

In order to solve the more and more acute food shortage problem, GRD started to analyze the monster’s meat, and began to process the meat using various methods. They would then ask research participants to try processed meat. They would decide if the food passed the edible standard or not based on the participants’ reactions. If the participants died during the test, they would open up the participants’ bodies to find out the causes of the deaths, and then tried to reprocess the monster’s meat again, until they got rid of those causes.

This research was the cycle of death. The participants might be lucky in the first experiment, but they might be dead during the second test.

And the scariest thing was that even if the participants might be able to survive this high death rate experiment, it would cause long-term damage to their health!

But still, a lot of people volunteered to participate in this experiment. Of course, those people were not here to sacrifice themselves for the great human future that they mentioned in the agreement, they were here mainly for food and medicines.

“Ge, is it really you?” Jing Tian threw herself into Chu Yunsheng’s arms and held him tightly. She was scared that this was just a dream.

Chu Yunsheng slowly stroked her back. He could feel that her body was trembling. She was using her life to exchange for food and medicine, how could he scold her? Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath, “it’s me, everything is going to be okay now.”

“Hey! Do you still want to do it or not?” the head of the lab said coldly.

“Shut up!” Chu Yunsheng glared at him, and then held Jing Tian’s cold hand. “We are not going to do it, we have enough food! Let’s go!” He then dragged her and wanted to leave the lab.

The head of the lab Lu pounded the table and snorted, “she signed the volunteer agreement! And she took all the stuff! She has to do it!”

Chu Yunsheng did not wear any badges. It meant that he was not from any one of the three major headquarters. That was why the head Lu dared to stop Chu Yunsheng.

But Chu Yunsheng ignored him. Jing Tian was still alive, this was great news to him. However, she needed to risk her life just for some food. It meant that his aunt’s situation was very bad.

“Stop them!” The head Lu shouted in rage. He was the head of this lab. So many people wanted to ingratiate themselves with him nowadays. How dare this guy ignored him.

“Let them leave!” professor Sun hurriedly arrived at the scene. Although he was a dark warrior, his speed was much slower than Chu Yunsheng. He was startled when he heard what the head Lu said, when he just arrived at the scene. Even a flaming bird could not stop this guy, how could those small-time people do anything to him? Chu Yunsheng would destroy the whole lab that he was trying very hard to build.

The lab head Lu was dazed for a second. Just when he was about to shout at the guy who said that, his face instantly changed. “Professor Sun, what made you have to come here in person,” said the lab head Lu, whose face was filled with smiles. At the same time, he was trotting towards professor Sun.

“Xiao Chu, I’m really sorry...” professor Sun didn’t respond to him, instead, he apologized to Chu Yunsheng.

Lu was shocked to see the professor apologized to this young man. What kind of background did this young man have? “Is this your friend? Haha... I’m sorry... very sorry! Xiao Wang... please get two more bags of instant noodles to compensate this lady... I’m sorry that we scared you, we didn’t do our job properly, later on, we will definitely talk to Cheng Bingwen, the mistake like this needed to be seriously dealt with!” he immediately said.

His attitude changed so quickly and he didn’t even feel shame to blame others. It made everyone think: ‘how could such a shameless person exist in the world?’

Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to waste time talking to him. He just took Jing Tian out of the lab with professor Sun. Before he left the GRD, professor Sun asked the people in the GRD to quickly make a researcher badge for him. But because it was in a hurry, and they didn’t have the time to fill in the evaluation application, they only made him a junior researcher’s badge, which was the lowest-level badge.

Chu Yunsheng knew why professor Sun wanted to do this. This old man still wanted to recruit him. He still did not believe that it was a coincidence that Chu Yunsheng made that graph. But Chu Yunsheng had completely lost trust in him. Although back in the fog city, it wasn’t his idea to make up the lie, he was the one who made it happen. He almost lost his life there.

The reason why he could have a nice conversation with him was that he still needed to use him. He knew that he was not smart, so the GRD was not the right place for him. But in Jin Ling city, having one more identity would not be a bad thing at all.

Chu Yunsheng just came to Jin Ling city in less than a day, he did not know how important this researcher badge was. He thought that it was the same as the dark warrior’s badge, which was just a symbol that allowed them to easily go in and out of the GRD.

He did not know it, but everyone else around him knew it. After professor Sun left, Duan Danian and other people were staring at Chu Yunsheng’s badge.

Compared to the dark warrior’s badge, the badge for the formal GRD researcher was a lot less. Most of the people who work in the GRD didn’t even have this badge.

Having a GRD badge meant stable food supply, medical care, and family’s protection, it had a lot more benefits than having a dark warrior’s badge.

“Holy shit, brother Chu, you just got in less than half an hour, and you already got a researcher badge. I’ve seen people finishing their dark warrior evaluation in half an hour, but I’ve never heard of someone finishing their researcher evaluation in half an hour,” said Duan Danian. Other people were completely speechless.

“We will talk about that later,” said Chu Yunsheng. At the moment, he urgently needed to know what happened to his aunt’s family. “Xiao Tian, where are your father and mother? Take me to see them.”

“Dad’s gone, he was killed by the insects.” Jing Tian was holding back the tears, “Ge, Mom is still alive, she always said that we should have listened to you...”

“Uncle died!?” Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt a wave of giddiness sweep over him. Although he had prepared himself for the worst news, he still could not handle it when he heard it.

“What about Xiao Yi?” he asked with a shivering voice.

Jing Tian and Jing Yi were twins. They used to follow Chu Yunsheng when they were young. They were always very close. He was scared that he wouldn’t be able to see Xiao Yi again...

“Younger brother, he, he...” Jing Tian could not hold her tears any longer, she broke out crying.

........Jin Ling City, The Western District.............

A large number of residents, who gathered in the Western district, were originally from Jin Ling City. Because of various reasons they gave up their home in the city and gathered here.

Because of the unknown reason, Jin Ling city did not have the channels that were created when Earth overlapped with another dimension. There were only some monsters that broke through the defense line and broke into the city. Compared to the other nearby cities, Jin Ling city suffered minimal losses.

Moreover, because Jin Ling city’s state officials did try their best to protect the local citizens, so those local people were slightly better than the refugees who were sleeping on the streets. However, they were only slightly better than them, there was no way for them to eat their fill and get medical care.

“Meal is ready!”

“Mealtime!”

“Stop pushing!”

“Why are you pushing!”

“Fuck you, do you know how to queue!”

“What’s a big deal? We are all neighbors, why so violent...”

...

Chu Han bowed her head down in the queue. Her eyes were bleary, and she was holding a chipped bowl in her hands. There was some dark material inside the bowl, and it was swinging from left to right while she was being pushed by the overcrowded crowd.

Her health was not always good, plus she started to cough recently, it made her strength even weaker. Sometimes, she even coughed up phlegm and blood. But she still wanted to squeeze towards the front of the queue. Even though she was pushed away by the people who were much stronger than her, she still wanted to get back into the queue.

“Sister Han, hold my hand, hold it tightly,” Liu Sanjie was not from the local. She was married to a guy from this city. Because of the cultural difference and her forthright character, when she just came to the city, she offended a lot of people, and a lot of women in the neighborhood liked to say bad things about her. She was gradually excluded from the neighborhood at that time.

Chu Han was an amiable person. It was because of her lovely personality, they became best friends.

Liu Sanjia was a tall and muscular woman, sometimes she could even have a fight with a man. Her original name was Liu Yi. Liu Sanjie was her nickname, but since everyone called her nickname all the time, everyone gradually forgot about her real name.

If it wasn’t her help, Chu Han, who was extremely weak at the moment, wouldn’t have been able to get into the crowd to get any food that was distributed only once in a while.

“Young man, have mercy, please, can I have one more ladle, my son is sick, he could not get up, can I get one for him?” Chu Han begged.

Everyone could only have one ladle. It was not even enough for one person, let alone to be shared between two. Her daughter went missing today, she was extremely worried, but she could not afford to miss the time for the food distribution.

She was sick, worried, tired, and desperate. All the feelings were mixed together and numbed her senses. The only thing she knew was that she still had a son, who needed her to look after.
