Dark Blood Age

Chapter 99

Behind the bus, Chu Yunsheng gave the baby back to his mom. The mother immediately held the baby in her arms tightly as if she was scared that someone was going to take the baby away from her again.

Chu Yunsheng took out a tin of milk powder, gave it Chui YuQuan, and said sternly, “this is for the baby, you keep it for them, don’t let others take it.”

Compared to the other people inside the group, Chui Yuquan was much more reliable, although he was a little bit impetuous. He even offended Li Yue without thinking it through properly. However, he was the one, who was willing to stand up for others.

“Brother Chu!?” Chui Yuquan was shocked. Chu Yunsheng and other awakened humans might not know what the milk powder meant to the ordinary people, but he did.

Also, Chui Yuquan didn’t know how Chu Yunsheng took out the milk powder. It was unlike other food they found from the building’s debris, the tin of milk powder was brand new.

“Don’t ask anything, this is all I could do for you. You have too many people, you still need to rely on the government. Go... Arrange people to prepare the meal, after they are fed, we need to leave as soon as possible. We are not far from Jin Ling city now, we can make it.” Chu Yunsheng interrupted him and said. He had helped them more than enough. He didn’t want to reveal too many secrets to them.

“Bother Chu...” Chui Yuquan pressed his lips together very hard. He hesitated, but when he saw Chu Yunsheng showed a slightly unpleasant expression, he quickly explained. “I don’t want to know anything about the milk powder. Brother Chu, could you please teach me how to become an awakened human. Brother Zhao showed me many ways, but I still couldn’t succeed. You are the strongest awakened human in our group and the strongest awakened human I have ever seen, can you please teach me?”

When Chu Yunsheng was fighting with the monsters, he and Wu Zi were also watching. When they saw Chu Yunsheng was casting both fire and ice abilities, they were stunned. They admired his ability, and they wanted to become an awakened human like him.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t expect that his question was this. If Professor Sun was here, then he would probably be able to explain something to them, but Chu Yunsheng didn’t know anything about the awakened humans, so he couldn’t help them.

“I can’t help you, because I also don’t know many things about the awakening,” Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said.

“Are there any ways at all?” Chui Yuquan didn’t seem to give up.

Chu Yunsheng still shook his head, but when he saw Chui Yuquan’s eyes slowly lose the luster of hope, he couldn’t help but say, “there are a lot of scientists doing this kind of research at Jin Ling city, they might have a way. But at the moment, you shouldn’t think too much about it. The most important thing right now is to organize this group, help everyone to get to Jin Ling city alive, and help them to get them there as soon as possible. This is your responsibility now.”

Chui Yuquan nodded his head and said firmly, “Thank you, brother Chu, I won’t give up, no matter what!”

After he left, Chu Yunsheng took some time to look for the medicines that doctor Li needed.

Burying the dead people, making food, taking care of the people who were injured, everyone seemed to be very busy at the moment.

Doctor Li quickly used the medicine to treat the people who had severe injuries. The Witch had already woken up, but She was very stubborn. She tried to heal her followers before she had even fully recovered herself. Only after she healed her followers did she finally start to heal Zhao Shanhe and other people.

In the meantime, Chu Yunsheng was tearing the red-shelled insect’s meat trying to feed the little tiger. It was already very hungry.

“Uncle, this is for you,” said the little girl.

Chu Yunsheng now knew that this girl was called Meng Meng. Her father died from protecting her and her mother from a red-shelled insect’s attack.

Meng Meng tried to pass the meat soup to Chu Yunsheng using her emaciated little hands, but Chu Yunsheng had already had some food. He was not hungry at all, so he took over the soup and kept it aside.

The little girl was upset to see that Chu Yunsheng didn’t seem to like the soup. But soon, she was attracted by the little tiger. She wanted to pet the tiger, but she didn’t dare to.

“Uncle, it looks like a tiger, I’ve seen tigers at the zoo, but they were much bigger, this big,” said the little girl while trying to use her hands to describe how big the tiger was.

Chu Yunsheng smiled. He took out a chocolate bar and gave it to the little girl, “it is a tiger, a little tiger.”

“Chocolate!” the little girl was pleasantly surprised. “Is it for me?” she asked.

Chu Yunsheng nodded his head and gently touched her head, “don’t tell anyone!” he jokingly said.

“Okay!” the little girl nodded her head very hard. “but can I tell my mom?”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t answer her question. He simply said, “go back to your mom, uncle has some stuff to do.”

The little girl was scared that Chu Yunsheng would suddenly become angry again like last time, so she quickly hid the chocolate inside the pocket, the place where she thought was the safest, and gently patted the pocket a few times to make sure the chocolate was there, “thank you, uncle! I have hidden the chocolate, I will eat it when I am most... most... most.. hungry.” the little girl said carefully.

Chu Yunsheng smiled and simply said, “go.”

With the help of meat soup, the little girl slowly recovered her strength. She was hopping away like a little bunny. Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng could not help but think of his own childhood.

Chu Yunsheng gave the meat soup to Tian Weidai, whose body now was warped around by the bandages. His back was totally ruined, some bones were exposed outside. If it wasn’t for the Witch’s special ability, he wouldn’t have been able to make it.

Tian Weidai wasn’t tall, and he didn’t seem to grow any beard like Chu Yunsheng and other people did. He was skinny but he ate a lot.

He was embarrassed when Chu Yunsheng gave him the meat soup. But he still couldn’t resist the hunger. The one he had wasn’t enough for him.

Chui Yuquan strictly controlled the portion size of the soup they gave out. However, he still secretly doubled the portions he gave to the awakened warriors. He totally understood his uncle, Lao Chui’s difficulty now. Those warriors were too important to them.

“Mr. Chu, thank you!” Zhao Shanhe’s injury wasn’t any better than others, but he still insisted on fighting to the last second until he was knocked off the bus roof. If it wasn’t for his strong will, he would’ve probably died like the Chef, who was now lying in the hole they dug.

When doctor Li and the Witch prepared to heal him first, he endured the pain and insisted they save Tian Weidai first.

“Mr. Chu. If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to survive today!” Zhao Shanhe said slowly and stopped from time to time. It seemed like he still suffered terrible pain from his injuries, and his voice was very weak, “you have the ability to escape, but you didn’t do it. Thank you for not abandoning us!”

Chu Yunsheng stopped him, “you should thank Chef, he gave his life away. Compared to him, At least, I’m still alive.”

His words made everyone feel dispirited. Even Huang Renkuan also surprisingly didn’t come out to say something to increase his reputation. He just sat there and sighed.

“We need to leave here as soon as possible, after we finish with the meal. If there are monsters attracted by the smell, then we will be dead for sure,” said Chu Yunsheng. He didn’t want to carry on with the topic, so he deliberately changed the topic and told them to speed up.

“Yeah, that’s right, let us go now, ask Lao Chui to group up the rest of the people.” Zhao Shanhe knitted his eyebrows and struggled to stand up.

“I forgot to tell you, Lao Chui had a mental breakdown, he is not stable at the moment, I have asked Chui Yuquan to look after the group.” said Chu Yunsheng while he was helping Tian Weidai to stand up.

Zhao Shanhe and other people gasped in shock, but they didn’t say anything. It was pretty common to see people having mental breakdown these days, but they still didn’t expect Lao Chui would be the one.

Buses were broken down, they couldn’t repair it. So on the remaining journey, they had to travel on foot.

Chui Yuquan grouped up the rest of the people that could still walk, and with Chu Yunsheng’s help, they made a stretcher for the baby’s mom Qin SaoZi, who was still very weak after she gave the birth.

Huang Renkuan was forced to take a lead. Apart from Chu Yunsheng, he was the only one, who just had a minor injury, and the only one, who still had the ability to fight.

Chu Yunsheng stayed at the end of the group to prevent any monsters from going after them.

Of course, he got other plans as well, which was to use those green fluorescent monsters’ bodies to make absorption talismans. Although their energy might be very weak, it was better than nothing.

He waited until everyone left and then stored all the bodies in the storage talisman.

The hazy shimmer once again appeared in the sky, shedding the dim light on the ground. The mountains in the distance were not high, in the dim light, it looked like the ancient monster lying prone quietly on the ground.

“Look! after those mountains, we will arrive at Jin Ling city!” Zhao Shanhe raised his hand and shouted.

Finally, we are almost there!

The hope was like a fire starting to spread amongst the group. Everyone was excited!
