Dark Blood Age

Chapter 84

Chu Yunsheng and Lan Chaoyin were heading towards the west on the national highway, in the pitch-black suburb. Because of the limited visibility, broken cars, and the bodies on the highway, they couldn’t drive very fast.

A lot of regular citizens also started to come out of the fog city, most of them did not have any transportation tools. But since they all knew Jin Ling city was the safest city, they all headed towards the west.

Some of them took the clothes from dead bodies and used the petrol they found in the broken cars to make fire torches. Soon, many fire torches began to appear one after another in the dark. Chu Yunsheng was very concerned with such a massive crowd. They had so many fire torches, it would easily attract the green-shelled insects.

But they couldn’t tell them to put out the fire, it was very dark outside of the city, without any light sources, they wouldn’t be able to see anything.

All he could do was to ask Lan Chaoyin to speed up the motorbike and stay away from the crowd.

Six kilometers wasn’t a long-distance, if there wasn’t any problem with the road, they would get there very soon.

Since the dark age began, Chu Yunsheng has noticed that no matter how he made his plan, there would always be accidents to disrupt his whole plan. Before, he was worried that the motorbike would attract the green-shelled insects, but just when he solved the motorbike problem, the crowd became another problem.

Lan Chaoyin seemed to know what he was worried about, so she immediately leaned forward and said, “sit tight!”

Just right after she said it, the strange flame instantly lit up the motorbike, and then the motorbike rushed out and left a trail of flames on the highway.

Just when he was slightly relieved because of increasing speed, he heard the sounds of artillery firing, rockets flying, and a massive amount of red-shelled insects roaring coming from the front!

......

“Division commander! If we don’t leave now, we won’t have any chance to escape later! We can’t continue to wait like this,” said a political commissar. He grasped division commander Yang’s arm and begged while his face was covered with tears.

The division commander’s livid face twitched repeatedly, “wait!!!” he gritted his teeth and shouted.

“Just because of Du Qishang, how many of our brothers have died!?.... Those fucking insects are going to surround us! You are going to sacrifice the whole division for him!” the political commissar shouted with a hoarse voice.

“It’s an order, I said 23:00, then it will be 23:00, I’ll not retreat one second earlier, or wait one second more!” the division commander clenched his gun and said sternly while watching the soldiers fighting at the front.

Seeing the division commander Yang was so determined. The political commissar’s body started to tremble, suddenly, he kneeled down, and cried out loud, “Lao Yang, please, order them to retreat, please, I am begging you! They’re all just kids! They haven’t even reached nineteen!”

Commander Yang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, he immediately held up the politician commissar, “Lao Quan! Why are you doing this!? I, Yang Baili is not a heartless bastard, they are all my soldiers! I am not just waiting for Du Qishang, that idiot! I am waiting for almost two trucks of scientists! I am just a soldier, I don’t know anything about science. But I still understand that without those scientists, we won’t have any new weapons, if we just have the old weapons, even the whole country will be gone, let alone a small division!” Commander Yang’s lips were twitching and he said helplessly.

The political commissar shook his head, he seemed to disagree with the commander’s opinion. When he was about to argue, he suddenly heard soldiers burst into cheers at the front.

They were startled and instantly took out the infrared binoculars. At the front line, just right behind the insect’s swarm, a thin long tank gun slowly appeared in the dark. Then a group of awakened warriors quickly rushed out and started to attack the red-shelled insects from behind!

Some of the soldiers couldn’t help but shout excitedly, “it’s the 218th regiment, it’s the 218th regiment!”

Yang Baili finally sighed with relief. He then shouted, “Du Qishang you bastard!”

He then turned around and shouted again, “Staff officer Bao, take out all the depleted uranium ammunition we got, let’s help them and quickly get out of here! ”

....

A few minutes later.

Chu Yunsheng could see explosions, rockets, and fires spreading across the sky, and the red-shelled insects spreading across the ground. There were so many insects in the swarm that it even made his soul tremble.

There was no way he and Lan Chaoyin could get through this swarm of red-shelled insects.

He immediately told Lan Chaoyin to turn around. He didn’t want the insects to notice them. If the insects noticed them, then it would be too late!

There was a big lake in the north, if they headed that way, the journey would be too long. They had to head to the south and find a way to go around the swarm!

They were not far from Gu Shu city, however, Chu Yunsheng was scared that Gu Shu city would be like the fog city – Kun city, so he didn’t agree to Lan Chaoyin’s idea of going through Gu Shu city.

Then they started to see more and more people. Most of them came from Shen Cheng city, and most of them did not have any cars. They were all moving on foot.

The only light sources in the crowd were the fire torches. Although they were not very bright, with the number of torches they had, it was already enough to light up the sky above them.

People tended to follow where the fire torches went, they did not have a sense of direction nor did they want to go into the dark alone.

They felt safe to be in the crowd or near the light, even Chu Yunsheng had that feeling as well.

At least, when they encountered dangers, the more people there were in the crowd, the higher the chances of surviving.

Lan Chaoyin had already stopped using her ability, she said that she did not have much energy left, and she needed to keep some to protect herself, but who knows if she was telling the truth.

Once the flame disappeared, the motorbike became a regular motorbike. It needed to consume petrol, but Chu Yunsheng wasn’t worried. because he still had some in his storage talisman.

Lan Chaoyin’s riding skill was undoubtedly good. She used every possible route in the crowd, but then it started to cause trouble.

Some groups tried to take their motorbike away by force, and some of them were awakened warriors. Luckily, Chu Yunsheng had restored some of his strength. He simply used the enchanted gun to scare them away.

But it wasn’t long until Chu Yunsheng started to hear the buzzing sounds appearing in the sky. It instantly struck fear into his heart. Those sounds were made by the green-shelled insects!

Turning around in fear, he immediately saw that around four green-shelled insects were diving down at them. The crowds panicked, people were running into each other, pushing each other, trying to find a place to hide.

Chu Yunsheng held onto Lan Chaoyin and clenched his legs to lock himself onto the motorbike. He then suddenly forced himself to lean to the left with the bike to dodge the green-shelled insects’ dive attack. However, it also caused the motorbike to immediately fall down and slide on the ground very far.

At the same time, people at the back shouted, “insect! They have caught up with us!”
