Chapter 658: Chapter 658 Entry

There was only one entrance checkpoint every one kilometer with bright searchlights installed on top. Bunkers were constructed on both sides, and there were soldiers inside holding weapons, aiming at the crowd outside. There were even tanks parked not far behind the checkpoint with their guns raised up, pointing at the sky.

The weather was very cold. Even the searchlights also seemed to be frozen. It was just shone at a specific direction, not moving.

Checkpoint 17 was crowded with people. There were some that had just arrived, and some still had not given up after several tries. With the “assistance” of the staff at the entrance, a messy line was formed and congested on the cement road at the entrance.

“Let me go in! My father-in-law is inside, why don’t you let me in?”

“My name is Huang Ken, how many times have I told you that I was traveling on a business trip last month, and my unit is in the city. This is proof, so please take a look.”

“I am from the Jinhua Municipal Government, and my classmate is Chief Zhang Sifeng from your Municipal Government, I want to make a phone call! What, no phone call? Okay, young man, let me go in first, I will take you to see him, and let him prove it to you, I promise- ID? Didn’t I say it already that I have lost it?”

“I’m…”

“I, I…”

In front of a short table, people waved their fists excitedly and eagerly when it was finally their turns. All of them were trying to find a believable excuse as hard as they could.

Most of the people simply tried to flatter or bribe the staff, hoping that the staff would have mercy on them and let them or even just their family pass the checkpoint.

However, the young man sitting behind the desk simply said “Next!” coldly without even raising his head.

Have mercy on them? The young man couldn’t help but sneer. He was given a limit of 30 places a day, but he needed to reserve most of the places for those who he couldn’t afford to offend. So in the end, there were only one or two places that he could allow to give out.

When he was first transferred here, he was upset for a while. After all, this place was too far away from the center of the city, and it was very dangerous. If he was not lucky, he might lose his life here. But soon after his arrival, the city imposed temporary measures to limit the influx of people, and his power to control the fate of the refugees outside the city was suddenly in demand.

Every day there were so many people giving gifts secretly to his parents that they could form a company. All of them were hoping that he could help them to get some of their family members inside the city. But even so, most of those gifts were not something very valuable. But two days ago, there was a good-looking girl, who was even willing to sleep with him for a night in exchange for a permit for her parents…

Just because you said that you used to work for the government, without any pieces of evidence, you think I would let you in? You wish!

He thought contemptuously and then left the registration information of the last person aside and never looked at it again. This process was merely a show that was required by the authorities. He didn’t need to treat it seriously. Then he took out a blank registration paper again. However, he was surprised that no one seemed to come forward.

He pushed his glasses, frowned, and raised his head. What he saw next was a red shadow appearing from the darkness and flying toward him. Within a second, it appeared before him.

“Monster! Shoot it, shoot it!”

The young man screamed, stood up from the chair in fear, stepped back in panic, nearly falling to the ground.

The soldiers responded quickly. Similar things have happened many times these days. When they saw the shadow, without the young man ordering them, they had already raised their guns and fired together.

However, when the bullets were about to hit the red shadow, strange light flashed a few times before the red shadow, and after several clanging noises, the red shadow passed through the bullets and landed before the checkpoint 17.

“Oh, it is a person.”

“It seems like an awakener.”

“It’s amazing, he is not even afraid of bullets!”

“I seemed to have seen this person two days ago…”

There were whispers in the crowd, and as if people had realized something, they looked at the swordsman and stepped away instinctively.

“Who is the person in charge here?”

The person who appeared was Chu Yunsheng.

“I am, may I ask?…”

The young man with glasses crawled out from under the table tremblingly and replied with a sycophantic smile. Although there were not many awakeners, not every one was worthy of his envy. This man was different. What he did earlier clearly showed that he was not an ordinary awakener, so showing a good attitude to him would definitely have more benefit than harm.

Chu Yunsheng turned to look at him and continued to ask: “Which unit are you from? What is your military position?”

The young man took a breath, smoothed the clothes corner, tried to calm down, and respectfully said: “I am not from the military, I am a government-”

Chu Yunsheng snorted, didn’t let him continue, “Why are you in charge if you are not from the military?” He then pointed at a soldier with the gun and said, “Who is the most senior officer here?”

“I am a platoon leader.” Since the person was here for the military, one of the tall and muscular soldiers walked out and said. One stripe and one star, the man who came out seemed to be a second lieutenant platoon leader.

Chu Yunsheng threw the document given to him by Fang Baixiao into the platoon leader’s hand and said, “My identity is written in the document. Report to the military immediately and tell Fang Baixiao, the third division commander that I’m waiting for him in the city.”

The platoon leader took the file, glanced at it, then his face changed drastically as if he had seen a ghost. He shivered, and raised his head instantly, wanting to say something, but Chu Yunsheng had already disappeared.

“Platoon leader Zhang, who is that person?” The young man wearing glasses was scolded by Chu Yunsheng, but he didn’t dare to show his dissatisfaction. Seeing platoon leader Zhang’s shocked face, he realized that this person must be someone very important.

But he didn’t expect that platoon leader Zhang, who had always called him brother, even put away the documents immediately, as if he was scared that he would see the information in the document. Then without even saying anything to him, he quickly got on a military vehicle and drove back into the city.

The first thing Chu Yunsheng did was to find Yu Xiaohai.

According to the information that was given by Yu Jian, although Xiaohai lost the support of Old Youling, he was still able to gather a group of awakeners. Most of the people were on the list that he gave to him before. Because of some reason, the people on those lists were excluded by someone. This was also the main reason why Yu Xiaohai was able to gather them.

With those people, coupled with the cultivation method Chu Yunsheng had, probably soon, he would be able to have a powerful force.

Military? Government? Only the awakeners and knowledge of technology was the ultimate deciding factor.

But if he wanted to find Yu Xiaohai, he had to find the Awakening Force that was temporarily formed. According to Yu Jian, Yu Xiaohai was currently in this force. However, the exact location was unclear. After all, Yu Jian had been out for some time.

In terms of the method, Chu Yunsheng already had an idea. After he entered the city, he could catch one of the awakeners and then asked out the location of the force from them, and with his ability to detect the energy fluctuation, this would not be difficult.

After arriving at the Central Elevated Road, Chu Yunsheng took out the military vehicle, with the high ranking military number plate, not a single checkpoint dared to stop him.

While he was on the central elevated road and heading toward the inner city ring road, he could see that the military was trying to establish a solid defensive area on the inner ring road. However, Chu Yunsheng did not go in. He bumped into a bus full of awakeners, so he decided to follow the bus.

Transporting many awakeners at once, it must be organized. So it would definitely be easier to find Yu Xiaohai if he followed them. Moreover, from the looks of it, it seemed like they were in a hurry. So something must have happened.

On the way, Chu Yunsheng had also encountered two space tunnels, exactly like the one that he had encountered before. They all looked like mirrors and glowed in the soft light. It was very mysterious as if something would come out of the mirror at any time. Around them, gathered a large number of tanks and soldiers. Whether it was the tanks’ guns or the guns that the soldiers were holding, they were all aimed at the mirror. Chu Yunsheng had no doubt that once something crawled out those mirrors, those weapons would instantly fire without any hesitation.

What would the battle scene look like? Chu Yunsheng didn’t see it, but he heard it. When he followed the bus and was about to arrive at the destination, the deafening sound of gunfire nearly shattered the windows of the military vehicle, and a huge fire cloud almost turned the sky red.

Chu Yunsheng guessed that probably some creatures that had broken out of the encirclement, and the military had failed to stop them, so they urged the awakeners to come to eliminate them quickly.

But when the bus stopped, he found that it was totally different than what he had expected.

The most direct reason was that when he was about to follow the group of awakeners to enter the battle zone, an aunt stopped him, and said kindly, “Young man, are you out of your mind?”

Chu Yunsheng was confused. What are ordinary people doing here? There might be human-eating creatures not far from here, but why are there so many ordinary people standing here watching it? Are they not scared?

Looking at the fearless faces of those people, Chu Yunsheng was even more surprised: “What happened? Why such a big commotion?”

The aunt, who was slightly fat, said while shaking her head, “Sigh, it’s terrible, there is a group of young people fighting with a group of gang members. Probably someone will be killed again.”

Chu Yunsheng was confused: “Young people? Fighting? Why are they fighting?”

“Who knows?” The aunt rolled her eyes at Chu Yunsheng and said. Just when Chu Yunsheng thought that he probably would not be able to get any useful information from this aunt, she approached closer to him and whispered, “They say it’s about a little girl. Someone from the Phantom Sect wants to take her away by force and make her his concubine.”

“Phantom Sect? Really?” Chu Yunsheng was first surprised. He might have believed it if she said that Old Youling was going to eat her. After all, this was something that it had done before. But make a girl its concubine? Did it even have that kind of ability?

The fat aunt felt slightly offended, “What, you don’t you believe me? Young man, you are too naive.”

If Chu Yunsheng was drinking water at the moment, he would definitely be choked by the water. He smiled bitterly: “Auntie, you mean, the people from the Phantom Sect are bad guys?”

The fat aunt was first dazed for a moment, suddenly became alert, and with a trace of panic in her eyes, she hurriedly said: “I have never said anything like that. Young man, you shouldn’t slander me. I am an honest person. If you carry on slander me, those people will kill me.”

Seeing the aunt’s alert response, and hearing her panic explanation, a killing urge suddenly surged up in his mind, and his eyes also became very cold. He snorted and said, “since they are not good people, then they should all be killed!”

Hearing what Chu Yunsheng said, the aunt was even more scared. She felt that Chu Yunsheng was a dangerous person and she should not stay closer to him, lest she would get involved in some dangerous troubles. So she didn’t dare to talk to Chu Yunsheng anymore and quickly moved away from him.

“Auntie, where did these students come from? Are they from Nanjing?”

When Chu Yunsheng turned his head and asked again, he found that the fat aunt had already run away at the speed that was almost comparable to the red-shelled insect.

“How many bad things must Old Youling do to achieve this effect?”

Chu Yunsheng was almost speechless. He activated the armor, put on the cloak, exerted force on his legs, and rushed toward the battle zone in the intermittent flashing light .

The battle zone was at a T-junction, and the vertical road that connected to the T-Junction was already covered with the raging fire, and the sound of explosions could be heard from afar. There seemed to be a space tunnel that was currently being bombarded by all kinds of attacks. However, the strange thing was that on the horizontal section of the T-junction, there were a dozen red-shelled insects fighting each other fiercely, completely ignoring the fact that the military was trying to destroy the space tunnel. What was even more bizarre was that the military also ignored those insects. Moreover, behind those red-shelled insects, there was a group of young men cursing at the someone inside a building on the side of T-junction.

“Which unit are you in? Please show your ID!”

A heavily-armed soldier forcibly stopped Chu Yunsheng. After saluting, he almost shouted in order to cover the cannon sound, and on the side not far behind him, the awakeners that he followed quickly Lined up, as if they were going to pass through the bombardment zone immediately.

Seeing the soldier’s young and lightly panicked face, originally, Chu Yunsheng decided to walk past him straightaway, but the bombardment suddenly stopped. As it started to quiet down, the sound of curses suddenly wafted over from the T-junction.
