Dark Blood Age
chapter-696

In a corner of the street, Chu Yunsheng saw the green-shelled insect that the fat division commander Liu Yimin mentioned. It arched its head on the corpse of another green-shelled insect, sobbing and wailing as if it wanted to wake up its companion so they couldn’t fly in the sky together again. However, it was dying.

“During the chaos earlier, it could’ve escaped.” Liu Yimin explained the situation while following Chu Yunsheng, “But in order to protect another green-shelled insect that had been seriously injured at the time, it chose to stay behind and block the shells for the injured one.” Liu Yimin sighed.

After listening to the fat division commander’s report, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but remember his insect brothers while looking at the dying green-shelled insect. Little Green also chose to stay behind to protect them when they tried to break out of Hong Kong’s encirclement. Old Purple and Old Golden and other insect brothers also used their lives to protect his…

…

“You remind me of my old brothers.” Chu Yunsheng took out a complicated monster seal talisman and said, “It was not originally prepared for you, but you are absolutely qualified to be sealed by it.”

The only level-four talisman that could keep the monster’s consciousness slowly floated out of his palm, and instantly released a dazzling brilliance, like the light from heaven. It wrapped the dying green-shelled insect inside and pulled it slowly toward the talisman as it was shrunk smaller and smaller.

Fat division commander Liu Yimin looked at this miraculous phenomenon with reverence. Although he had seen other awakeners using Chu Yunsheng’s talismans during the attack, those were all offensive talismans, but what he was seeing now was like saving a being from the dead, it was miraculous as myths and legends.

However, just as the green-shelled insect was about to disappear, there was a complicated distortion on the talisman, as if some kind of conflict had occurred. After a series of strange clicking noises, the green-shelled insect was sealed inside the talisman, but something seemed to have disappeared completely, or maybe it had never existed before.

When the talisman floated back to Chu Yunsheng’s hands, Liu Yimin found that Chu Yunsheng’s expression extremely gloomy and cold, and the veins on his left hand holding the hilt of the sword were bulging as if he was extremely angry.

“Mr. Chu?”

Liu Yimin asked carefully, fearing that something might happen to him. But he saw Chu Yunsheng jump up suddenly, stepping on the protruding part of the edge of the building, and rushing to the roof at an extremely fast speed. After he finally reached the roof, he pointed the sword at the sky and roared in anger,

“Why does it not have any Original Conscious Core!”

“Is everything fake?”

“If it’s all fake, then what is real in this world? TELL ME!”

“TELL ME!!!”

The dark sky was forever dark as if it was silently pitying the man shouting in rage below. Only the mad roars of Chu Yunsheng were reverberating around the world.

Although the army suffered heavy losses in the first battle between humans and the insects, it was not so conspicuous compared to what they had gained from the battle. In addition to the valuable experience in fighting a large-scale insect swarm, they also had a large number of insects’ bodies. Especially the corpses of the green-shelled insects and the two golden-shelled insects. Those things would help the scientific research greatly. It would not be long before new weapons were ready to be deployed in the army, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of the main divisions in this great dark age.

The remaining insects’ shells were all piled up together. They would be transformed into armors and weapons to arm the awakeners and the entire phantom sect. In terms of the energies in those monsters’ bodies, they had all been gathered by the Absorption Talisman tokens that Chu Yunsheng had given out, and then through Chu Yunsheng’s hand, they would be converted to many talismans from level-one energy shield talismans to level-three offensive talismans. Since energy was no longer an issue for him to make equipment, he decided to produce it massively to arm his men.

Of course, only the first batch of awakeners and phantom warriors had this benefit. After all, the resources were not unlimited. Those who had proved their abilities on the battlefield were certainly qualified to have this equipment, but those who had just awakened could only receive equipment based on their ranks after the test.

However, even so, the total numbers of awakeners and phantom warriors in the first batch also exceed one thousand.

For the following three days after the battle, Chu Yunsheng was creating battle armors and Absorption Talisman for them non-stop. There were more than 1,000 of them. However, Chu Yunsheng still overestimated his ability. Even if he was able to make 300 sets a day, he still would not be able to complete it in a short period of time, let alone he was only able to make 100 sets a day on average.

So it wasn’t until half a month later that he finished all the armors and talismans.

However, the scientific research base was also preparing to develop a new protective suit. Although it couldn’t be massively produced at the moment, and its ability was not as good as the armors produced by Chu Yunsheng, the production line could be slowly built. And once the product line was completed, the protective suit produced by the scientific research base could still meet the needs of ordinary soldiers in the military.

The social fabric of cities that had been transformed in response to the great dark ages was beginning to change in profound ways, bit by bit.

Whether the awakeners formed their own combat teams or joined the phantom sect, their social status would immediately undergo a radical change. Even if it turned out to be a family waiting to die in the refugee building, as long as there was one awakener in that family, their life would change completely…

After giving out all the armors and talismans he had prepared for his men, Chu Yunsheng told other people that he would need to break through his cultivation stage, so he didn’t want anyone to interrupt him. Of course, this was an excuse.

When he discovered that the green-shelled insect didn’t have any consciousness, he decided to go to the spaceship graveyard under Wu Yi mountain as soon as possible.

He had a feeling he might be able to find out the truth there.
