Chapter 33

Translator: Doggotranslation Editor: Doggotranslation

Chu Yunsheng felt very helpless. He leaned against the wall and lit up another cigarette. The reason why he felt this way was not because of those people, who had come back. It was because the screams that came from those dying people reminded him that the insects had increased to a number that no matter how fast he increased his strength, he would still be on the losing side.

The girl saved by Yu Xiaohai also came back. Maybe she didn’t even leave very far. She sat on the side next to Chu Yunsheng and Yu Xiaohai, which was far away from Gu Liming’s squad.

Whenever a scream appeared on the street, she would shiver nervously as if she was a panicky bunny.

Chu Yunsheng had the exact same feeling before. It was when he saw an insect sucking the brain out of a human for the first time. His heart jumped extremely fast at that time as if it did not belong to him.

Everyone was very quiet. No one dared to speak, including Chu Yunsheng, because the insect was very sensitive to sounds.

It was deadly quiet on the roof, so quiet like they were in an underground tomb, and it was like that for a very long time...

......

Chu Yunsheng suddenly woke up from panic. He didn’t know how he was able to fall asleep in this kind of situation, but he had a nightmare. In the nightmare, his helmet had fallen off, and an insect was sucking his brains.

The screams had already stopped, but the sounds of the insects still could be heard from time to time. The girl was still crying, and the professor Sun’s group had been gathered together as if they were discussing something.

Yu Xiaohai was still unconscious. If it was not for the fact that he was still breathing, Chu Yunsheng would have given up already.

Raising his head, Chu Yunsheng looked at the sky. Suddenly, he noticed that the dark night appeared to have a trace of hazy shimmer. Then his heart started to jump rapidly. He immediately pulled up the helmet’s front cover to look at it carefully again.

He was not wrong. The sky clearly had a faint weak light. Although darkness was still enveloping the Earth, under the hazy dim light, people were able to see the shadows and outlines of the surrounding objects. At least, they were not completely blind without fire, torches or other light sources.

‘What is this? Are we finally going back to the age of light?’ Chu Yunsheng was very excited. He even had tears in his eyes. It was not that he wasn’t strong enough. It was just that he has always been burying his weakness deep inside.

He quickly jumped up and pushed Yu Xiaohai several times. “Xiaohai, wake the fuck up. It’s back. The light is back! Stop pretending you are dying!”

“He won’t be able to wake up anytime soon,” said professor Sun. He slowly walked towards Chu Yunsheng with a crutch and sat in front of him.

“He is in the awakening state. Based on our study, dark energy is currently transforming his body. So he won’t be able to wake up anytime soon.” he explained.

“Dark energy?” Chu Yunsheng was confused. Originally, he thought that this old man was going to ask him more questions about the armor. But he didn’t expect that the old man would tell him this.

Chu Yunsheng seemed to have heard this word before. Probably, from the neighbor, who lived above him at the building No.8.

Professor Sun nodded his head and explained, “Yes, dark energy. Combined with dark matter, they made up 96 percent of the whole universe, and it could be even more.”

“You are saying that this dark energy is transforming his body?” Apart from the book, this was the first time he heard that someone actually had some answers towards the ability awakening. But he had kicked this old man earlier, so he did not know if this professor would tell him more about it.

But professor Sun seemed to have forgotten about what Chu Yunsheng did. He sighed, “Yes, but not all types of dark energies have this kind of power, and in terms of this particular type, we are still studying it.”

Chu Yunsheng suddenly thought of the ancient book. The book mentioned that Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi could only be gathered after Tian Gui’s seal was broken.

In order to confirm what he guessed was right and if he understood the book correctly, he asked, “What about before the disappearance of the Sun? Why wasn’t there anything like this?”

The professor smiled, “during the age of light, the only dark matter we could detect was Neutrinos, but the amount of them can be ignored in the world of dark matters. The rest of dark matters and dark energies were all just hypotheses. There was no evidence to support them, until the dark age... But...”

Chu Yunsheng was enthralled by the information, he immediately asked, “but?”

Professor Sun waved his hands and said, “It doesn’t really matter now if I tell you this. We did intensive research on dark matter and dark energy just after the Sun disappeared. Unfortunately, the time was limited. Because of the insects, our research was terminated. So we still couldn’t answer all the questions. This is an esoteric subject. If we could understand it, not only would we be able to eliminate the insect, but also we would even be able to fly out of our solar system.”

Chu Yunsheng nodded his head secretly. He believed that the dark energy professor Sun was talking about was probably Yuan Qi. It was probably the same kind of energy, but the people from different times or different worlds called it differently.

When he was still in the building No. 8, his neighbor had told him that the power that the Ice-punch man had might contain dark energy. But he didn’t expect that it would be true!

Then he suddenly remembered that he had kicked the old man earlier. Normal people wouldn’t be able to withstand his kick at all.

Last time, the thug he kicked had a serious injury. Even Gu Liming, who had also been kicked by him earlier, was still rubbing his belly to this moment.

‘Is he an awakened human as well? But will there be other awakened humans as old as him?’

Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng asked with hesitations, “are you...?”

“Yes, I am an awakened human as well. But my dark energy is very weak. I can’t use it in battle. It’s barely enough for us to do research,” the professor replied with self-deprecating humor.

Chu Yunsheng was surprised. He always thought that the awakened humans were best in fighting. He didn’t expect that there were awakened humans that were not good at fighting. Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he still knew too little about them.

He believed that the ancient book had information about those awakened humans. But because the book was too difficult for him to understand, he only selected the part, which was very important to him, to study. He always thought that if he had a dictionary for this ancient book, it would’ve been perfect.

Professor Sun didn’t know what Chu Yunsheng was thinking. He shifted his attention to Yu Xiaohai and said, “your friend is very strange. Based on the few cases we studied before, the awakening process is very dangerous. Your friend obviously can not control the chaotic dark energy inside his body, but why is nothing happening to him?”

Chu Yunsheng suspected that it was because the energy shield was suppressing the chaotic dark energy. But he didn’t want to tell the professor this. Although he appreciated what the professor had told him, and he also felt sorry that he had kicked him earlier, disclosing the information about energy shield meant that he would disclose the information about his defense mechanism and the ancient book. This was something he didn’t want.

Then the professor said another thing, that instantly made his hair stand on end, “what a pity that we don’t have lab equipment here!”

Chu Yunsheng instantly had a terrified expression on his face. Professor Sun quickly realized what Chu Yunsheng was thinking. He couldn’t help but laugh, “people are always scared of human lab research. However, in my entire academic career, I’ve never seen or heard anyone hurt any awakened humans!”

Chu Yunsheng didn’t expect that this old man would mistake him as an awakened human. But it was good for him. It meant that everyone else wouldn’t find anything strange about him.

After he heard the old man’s explanation, he smiled. Although he still did not know when Yu Xiaohai would wake up, and seventy two hours of retreat time was getting closer and closer, he started to have a good impression of this old man.

After all, he had told him a lot of things that he did not know before, so he made a deal with the old man. He gave the old man a half bag of bread, but the old man needed to tell him everything he knew about the awakened humans.

Chu Yunsheng was relieved when he heard the old man say that in his knowledge, no one was more powerful than Chu Yunsheng.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, a shout burst out in the quiet roof. It was Yu Xiaohai, he finally woke up!
