Chapter 39
Translator: Doggotranslation Editor: Doggotranslation
One of a famous codian’s quotes in the age of light went like this: “If I saw soone having a at bun when I was hungry, then that person was luckier than . If I saw soone wearing a thick cotton cloth when I was cold, then that person was luckier than . If I wanted to go to the toilet, but the only seat had already been taken by soone, then that person was luckier than .”
Chu Yunsheng was facing the sa situation right now. When the chaotic crowd attracted that tentacle monster, he was luckier than the crowd of people outside.
It was a ss outside. Chu Yunsheng decided to wait in the building until everything quieted down. Moreover, he didn’t think that those three red-shelled insects and the tentacle monster would be back anyti soon.
It wasn’t difficult for Chu Yunsheng to find a room to make talismans in such a big mall. Before he closed the door, he asked Yu Xiaohai and Lin Shuiyao to wait outside the room.
With the help of the flashlight, he carefully drew the talisman’s pattern. He was already familiar with the process, so he didn’t spend too much ti on it.
After he used an absorption talisman to absorb the Yuan Qi from the red-shelled insects, he checked the number of the insects he had stored inside the storage talisman. He had a total of fifteen red-shelled insects’ bodies.
His armor needed to be repaired, so he took out the bodies and began to repair the armor until all the cracks were gone.
The new absorption talisman was filled with fla patterns. It could restore a total of twelve units of Yuan Qi. However, because he needed to keep six units of Yuan Qi to make another new absorption talisman, so he could only use six units to kill insects.
Deep in his heart, Chu Yunsheng was worried. If he carried on like this, he would never be able to make more absorption talisman as backups. He needed to use the traditional Yuan Qi cultivation thod to restore his Yuan Qi without touching the absorption talismans in the storage talismans at the mont. Of course, he could ask Yu Xiaohai to help him, but he didn’t think Yu Xiaohai’s energy would be recovered faster than him.
When would he be able to reach Yuan Tian stage two? He has been dreaming of that day for a very long ti. By that ti, his Yuan Qi would be so dense that he would only need two units of Yuan Qi to make one absorption talisman. Or at Yuan Tian stage two, he could use more Yuan Qi to make a level-three absorption talisman, which could be used repeatedly.
He felt that it was such a waste to use six units of Yuan Qi to make one absorption talisman for just one-ti use.
He really needed to speed up now!
Yuan Qi cultivation cycles required him to unleash and restore Yuan Qi repeatedly. It wasn’t complicated but instead, rather troubleso. So he spent six units of Yuan Qi to make one new talisman, then absorbed the remaining fla patterns from the old one.
When he finally ca out of the room, he saw Yu Xiaohai and Lin Shuiyao were busy gossiping. They were discussing all kinds of questions, such as: Did she really like so male celebrity? Or did she date so rich guys? etc... Chu Yunsheng was completely speechless. He didn’t know where the hell Yu Xiaohai got all those questions from.
Yu Xiaohai was surprised to see Chu Yunsheng co out of the room with a recovered armor. He clicked his tongue(1) and said, “Brother Chu, you sure are a miracle worker!”
Chu Yunsheng knew that he could go on for a long ti, so he ignored him and said, “let explain to you what my plan is. You both can express your opinion, but you can’t decide anything.”
Yu Xiaohai didn’t mind it. After all, he would always listen to Chu Yunsheng.
Lin Shuiyao didn’t seem to have any reactions, and Chu Yunsheng also didn’t bother to ask her opinion, “it’s less than fifty hours from the military retreat, we need to follow the troops. Xiaohai, you will drive the motorcycle. I will sit in the middle, and the actress Lin will sit on the back of the bike. Everyone will need to listen to my command.”
Yu Xiaohai didn’t have any problem with it, but Lin Shuiyao knitted her brows and thought. ‘Did he not feel any sha for asking a lady to sit on the back? The middle seat should be the safest.’
However, she didn’t know that Chu Yunsheng needed to restore his Yuan Qi. The middle seat was the most steady spot, and Chu Yunsheng would have minimal disruptions. But Lin Shuiyao didn’t have the right to complain, even though Chu Yunsheng said that she could express her opinions, she wasn’t stupid, and she did not want to put herself in a bad situation.
She gave Chu Yunsheng a soft smile, and said, “I am actually a model, so please don’t call an actress.”
Chu Yunsheng waved his hands and said, “to ordinary people like us, they are all the sa.”
After saying that, he simply ignored Lin Shuiyao and took out so food from his storage talisman.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng magically take so food out of thin air, Lin Shuiyao was completely stunned.
Yu Xiaohai had already seen Chu Yunsheng’s strange abilities before, so he did not have any reaction. Contrary to his reaction, Lin Shuiyao’s reaction seed exaggerated.
The journey of escape was about to begin. The three people needed to recover their physical strength, especially Chu Yunsheng, as he was the one who was going to do the most work.
Three ham sausages, a can of tuna, three pieces of bread, two boxes of Da Neng biscuits, even a few vacuum-packed roasted eggs!
Chu Yunsheng also gave himself and Yu Xiaohai a bottle of Red Bull each to refresh themselves, because he guessed that it might be a long journey ahead.
Unless it was a special circumstance, Chu Yunsheng would have regular als every day, because he had stored a decent amount of food. But to Yu Xiaohai and Lin Shuiyao, it was an entirely different experience.
While eating, Chu Yunsheng was also thinking about sothing else, so when he finished his bread, he noticed his favorite food – a canned tuna, had already been consud by those two people.
‘Fucking foodies!’ He cursed angrily in his mind.
To find a crowd was not difficult. Every now and then, there would be a group of people passing by the building in a hurry, and all of them were heading towards the west of the city.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng magically take out a motorbike, Lin Shuiyao’s reaction was not as exaggerated as before. This ti she controlled her emotions very well. At least, she looked very calm.
Instead, Yu Xiaohai suddenly burst out in surprise, “Brother Chu, wasn’t our motorbike broken? Or did you fix it?”
“This is the new one,” Chu Yunsheng explained.
Yu Xiaohai raised his thumb at Chu Yunsheng and wanted to say sothing to complint him, but in the end, he just sighed, “Brother Chu, I should’ve listened to you and sold everything I had to prepare supplies! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
This was the second ti Lin Shuiyao heard Yu Xiaohai talking about Chu YunSheng’s prediction, which instantly attracted her attention.
But Chu Yunsheng did not carry on with this topic, he patted Yu Xiaohai’s shoulder and said, “regret won’t get you anywhere. If you have ti to think about this, why don’t you use your ti to think about how to increase your shitty abilities? You never know when you will need it.”
Yu Xiaohai’s face imdiately turned red, and he also stopped talking.
Walking out of the mall cautiously, Chu Yunsheng looked around the area. On the street, a few groups of people were continuously passing by.
After Chu Yunsheng waved his hand to signal the other two that it was safe outside, the two people imdiately got out, and then the three people quickly got on the motorcycle, and headed towards the nearest crowd.
The crowd Chu Yunsheng joined was very strange. It was massive, but it was split into many smaller groups, spreading from the front of the crowd to the back of the crowd. Moreover, they were all young people.
While Chu Yunsheng was curious about why the crowd was ford like this, Yu Xiaohai had already chatted up a girl in one of the smaller groups.
It turns out that they were the students of Dong Shen University.
When the Sun disappeared, the university sester was not over yet, so most students, who were still studying in the university campus, were trapped inside the university. Only after the university received the notice from the military did they finally decide to flee to Jin Ling city with the military.
Their retreat was much more well-organized than the ordinary people. Under the university’s arrangent, teachers and their family mbers were ford into two groups. The students of each academic departnt were also ford into groups. Before the troops arrived, they were only protected by a dozen self-awakened students.
Dong Shen university was one of the biggest universities in Shen Cheng city. The university had about 30,000 students, but according to the girl, a lot of people were killed by red-shelled insects. Plus so people went missing, so they only gathered less than 20,000 people.
‘No wonder I could not see the beginning or the end of the crowd.’ Chu Yunsheng thought.
The sky often appeared to have a hazy shimr. It was even more obvious when it was supposed to be midday in the age of light. However, at nightti, the sky would be pitch black.
As ti passed, a lot of random people began to co out of buildings and joined in this massive crowd. The number soon started to increase rapidly. The representatives from the military and the university stood in the chaotic crowd, asking awakened humans to join the escort team non-stop.
On the way leaving the city, the crowd had also encountered small groups of red-shelled insects a few tis. But luckily, all of the insects were stopped by the troops and the self-awakened students. But Of course, casualties could not be avoided.
