Dark Blood Age

Chapter 114

Chapter 114

The meal was laid on a broken table that had uneven legs. There was a brick underneath one of the table’s legs. It was used to stop the wobbly table from moving. With the food laid on top of it, the table seemed like it could collapse at any time.

There were only three dishes, not a lot. One dish was pork with potatoes, one dish was chicken and carrots soup and the last one was a salty vegetable. They were not in a large portion either. Two of the dishes were in a large bowl, and the last dish was put in a box that Chu Yunsheng was very familiar with.

If it was still in the age of light, such simple dishes wouldn’t be worth anything. But now, it was extremely expensive.

No one could resist the delicious food, even Chu Yunsheng, who was never worried about food. His stomach was making the growling sounds when he smelled the food fragrance. Since the pot of beef soup that he didn’t even get to finish in Shen Cheng city, he hasn’t had anything hot similar to this.

Before he arrived in Jin Ling city, all he had was biscuits and bread or some sticky congee. He suspected that if he carried on eating food like that, he might get scurvy!

Compared to Chu Yunsheng, Duan Danian and other people were even worse, they hadn’t seen pork or chicken meat for a few months now, let alone the fresh vegetables!

If it wasn’t for the fact that Chu Yunsheng still hadn’t sat down, they probably would have already started to snatch the food.

“Xiao Yi still doesn’t want to eat anything?” asked Chu Yunsheng after he saw that his aunt still had a small bowl of soup.

“He wants to die, he doesn’t want to become our burden...” After Chu Han woke up, she slightly recovered some strength, and went back to the woman she used to be. She touched Jing Yi’s face while her eyes were filled with tender love, “mom knows that you are in pain, knows that you would rather die, but mom can’t do it... mom just can’t see you die like this...”

Chu Han was on the verge of crying, but she held it back, she just gently and quietly spoke to her son.

Tears were running down from Jing Yi’s eyes. It ran across his ears and dropped on his hairs.

“Auntie, you go to eat first, let me try it!” Chu Yunsheng took over the soup and said. He knew Jing Yi had the same personality as his parents. Jing Yi did not want to become trouble for his family. That was why he wanted to die.

“En... Okay, you two were always very close, you talk to him, I’ll need to speak to you later as well. You have lost weight...” Chu Han adjusted Chu Yunsheng’s wrinkled collar and sighed.

“Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll find a way to cure him. You need to take care of yourself as well,” said Chu Yunsheng. His aunt’s health was very poor at the moment. Not only she was unhealthily skinny, but also she was sick right now.

“I’m okay, just some old problems. You also need to eat something first, don’t get hungry.” Chu Han nodded her head. She didn’t seem to have heard what Chu Yunsheng said. Maybe she had already lost her hope.

“Jing Tian, help your mom to go to the table. I’ll stay here,” said Chu Yunsheng.

Jing Tian nodded her head, she did not like to talk, she was a type of person that would always hide a lot of things inside her.

Her father’s tragic death, her brother injured twice and was now paralyzed on the bed, her mom was starving and also very sick, the dark world, ruthless insects, it seemed like all kinds of misfortunes all happened to her, but she still did not give up.

When she sold the flat, she got to know Cheng Bingwen, then she decided to ‘volunteer’ to participate in the new food experiment in exchange for food and medicines. Although people said that regular medicines couldn’t save Jing Yi, if there was the slightest hope, she would still want to try it.

She was prepared to die when she stepped into the GRD, but her cousin Chu Yunsheng appeared out of nowhere. She was thrilled and shocked at the same time, she even forgot to take the notebook that she used to keep with her all the time.

She and Jing Yi were very close to her cousin Chu Yunsheng. In her childhood memory, cousin Chu Yunsheng could do all sorts of impossible things just like her father.

However, with them getting older, she gradually realized that childhood thoughts were very silly. Her father and cousin were just ordinary men, they were not omnipotent. Father’s figure bent earthwards as he got older, and her cousin also had a lot of pressure from work. The only thing that didn’t change was their love for them.

She didn’t expect that she would be able to see her cousin Chu Yunsheng once again. When Chu Yunsheng kicked the door open, she seemed to see the omnipotent cousin return to her again.

The change of head Lu’s attitude; the special-ranked researcher, who took them out of the lab in person; a whole car of dark warriors that were waiting for them and a strange little tiger. Strange things happened one after another, it made her feel like she was in a dream.

On the way back to her house, she still had a slight doubt, she thought what she saw might be the illusion caused by the food experiment. But if it really was a dream, she hoped that she would never wake up.

When she helped her mom to walk towards the table, she saw that all those originally domineering dark warriors did not even dare to sit down and touch the chopsticks!

Even that chubby leader, who was a rank two dark warrior, was also the same. Jing Tian remembered Jing Yi once said that the leader he used to follow was a rank two dark warrior as well!

“Is my older brother a GRD researcher? Or is he a dark warrior? What rank is he?” Jing Tian wandered.

“Jing Yi, I know you are sad, we are brothers, so I am not going to lie to you. I will only tell you three things.” Chu Yunsheng put the soup on the edge of the bed and said. Jing Yi had lost his hope, if Chu Yunsheng could not get his hope back, he wouldn’t eat anything.

“The first thing is about your injury. I promise that it will be cured. It is just a matter of time. Give me some time, at the most three months. I promise! You will be able to jump up and down like you used to.

The second thing is that I am still alive, I can’t remember how many times that I almost died, but I still survived and found you. I am not going to lecture you some big philosophies or whatnot. The only thing I know is to stay alive, only when you are alive, there will be a future. If you are dead, everything is over.”

Chu Yunsheng paused for a second. He was worried that if he said it too quickly, Jing Yi wouldn’t have time to carefully consider what he said. “the last thing is that I am here, so you don’t need to worry about the food problem. I’ll make you eat until you have a healthy body shape, not only just you, but auntie and your sister as well.”

Chu Yunsheng smiled as if he was trying to tell a funny joke to them like the old days.

Jing Yi could not talk, but he heard everything. After Chu Yunsheng finished, a slight glimmer appeared in Jing Yi’s eyes. Although it wasn’t very clear, when Chu Yunsheng started to feed him again, he didn’t refuse to eat.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t feed him a lot, because he was worried that his body couldn’t handle the amount of food he was eating after he had stopped eating for such a long period of time.

Chu Han and Jing Tian both burst into tears after they saw he started to eat once again.

“Let’s eat, eat!” Chu Yunsheng quickly changed the subject and picked up a bowl of rice after he returned to the table.

The table was very small, not many people could sit around the table. So other people except Duan Danian all got their rice and a small share of those dishes, and squeezed on the side. They hadn’t had any good meals for a very long time, and there was still some rice left in the pot. So everyone tried to wolf down the food as quickly as they could, so they could get a refill.

“May I ask, is this Chu Han’s home?” a gentle voice suddenly came from outside the shanty.

Because there was only a flashlight inside the shanty, and there weren’t any light sources outside, everyone was confused about who would come to this place at this time.

“Who is it? Please come in!” Chu Han was dazed for a second, then she asked the person to come inside. If it was still in the past, she would not dare to ask someone to come in at this time. But now, her house was filled with dark warriors, so she was not scared at all.

“Sister Chu, I’m Lu Yaming,” said Lu Yaming, who was holding the box that contained congee, and on top of the congee, there was a tin of beef.

Before Lu Yaming came here, he had already asked the people in the neighbourhood about Chu Han’s situation.

“Oh, Commissioner Lu, please come in, have a seat, my place is quite small. I hope you don’t mind it.” Chu Han immediately stood up in a panic, after she saw the person.

Lu Yaming was in control of their food supply, he was the king of this shanty town, so Chu Han didn’t dare to sit down. The panic even made her forget about what kind of people were in her small shanty.

The shanty was indeed very small. It had already fit in so many people, how could they have a spare chair for Lu Yaming?

Even Duan Danian was sitting on the bricks. Apart from Jing Tian, who stood up quietly, Lao Duan and Chu Yunsheng just sat there, not moving at all.

“No need, no need. Sister Chu, I just came here to visit you. You guys can carry on,” said Lu Yaming while waving his hands. He didn’t dare to ask a rank-two dark warrior and a GRD researcher to give up their seats for him.

“Commissioner Lu, is there anything urgent that you have to come here at this time?” asked Chu Yunsheng.

He saw this man earlier, and he knew that this man was working for GCH, and he was in charge of this area. But he did not know what happened between this man and his aunt. He only saw Jin Rui, who was making trouble for his aunt. But what happened before, his aunt hadn’t told him yet.

So Chu Yunsheng was baffled when he saw Lu Yaming had some stuff in his hands. After all, he was in charge of this area, and Duan Danian killed Jin Rui in front of him and a group of police.

‘Is he here to ask for an explanation?’ Chu Yunsheng wondered.
