Dark Blood Age

Chapter 365

The woman left, so did her followers. Although Chu Yunsheng was injured, he still didn’t know why they wanted to attack him. His wound was later wrapped up by his colleagues.

Of course, even if he wanted to ask the woman, he didn’t think the woman would tell him, let alone he didn’t have the ability to talk.

Looking at Old Sun constantly bowing at the woman and apologizing on behalf of him, Chu Yunsheng felt like there was something inside his chest that he couldn’t get out.

The information Old Sun had was wrong. The 9th unit offended someone that he shouldn’t have offended. He understood why Old Sun wanted to apologize, but to thank them on behalf of him? He was the one that was wounded. He shouldn’t thank them. They should be the one that apologized to him.

However, he couldn’t make them change their mind. As long as he was wearing the mask, Old Sun was still his team leader, and he still represented him.

Originally, it was not really a big of a deal. In order to survive, he had done so many things since the beginning of the dark age. He hid before, ran away before, tried to trick other people before and played dead before... but no matter what he did, he still didn’t feel as humiliated as this moment. He was wounded, but he still needed to “thank” them? Even when he was fighting the divine realm, he still didn’t kneel down.

Although there were so many people around him, it seemed like he was the only one who felt like it. It suddenly made him understand himself from a different perspective.

Then he realized that what he had thought before was wrong. Why did he need to learn how to feel numb? Why did he need to learn how to live in the dark age like other people? The reason why the woman back in Hong Kong was able to laugh next to her brother’s body was not that she had learned how to feel numb. It was actually that she had naturally adapted reality.

No matter how he tried to remind himself that he should know his limit, there was a faint arrogance hidden deep inside his heart.

That arrogance seemed to come from the book, and from the very beginning, he had separated himself from others and treated everyone with a “condescending” attitude. It was something that he had never noticed before. Whether it was friends, family members, or the enemy that he hated, he treated them all the same.

Whether it was The Age Of Light or The Dark Age, even if it was those who were incompetent, they also had a faint sense of “self-loving” deep inside their hearts. They would always find something different about themselves, so they could feel proud of themselves.

In The Age Of Light, this kind of thing was called “pride”.

As his power became stronger and stronger, and many talented awakened people were defeated by him, the seed of this kind of pride was growing faster and stronger.

However, it was not a good thing at all. When the “pride” was too strong, and the reality was still brutal, it would only cause pain if he failed to achieve his expectation.

It happened once when he tried to protect Yu Xiaohai, then it happened again when he tried to protect his family, it happened again and again until he saw his brother – Dumb Insect killed itself.

Every time when he lost something important in his life, he would desperately want to increase his power. However, the more powerful he got, the sense of pride also grew stronger inside his heart. Tears would eventually dry up, sadness would eventually fade away. But the sense of pride was like his inner devil that still haunted him and made him think that he could have done better.

When he looked at how Old Sun behaved in front of the golden armor woman, he realized that if he swallowed his pride and admitted that he had done his best, it probably would not be that painful.

Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath and closed his eyes. ‘I am sorry, I have done my best,’ he said to those familiar shadows in his mind. As if those words could release all his stress, he began to smile while he was being carried by the rest of the masked men. In fact, he hadn’t had a smile for a very long time. He almost forgot how to make a smile.

“Fucking hell, Mute, you are still able to laugh?” the skinny masked man looked at Chu Yunsheng’s twisted smile behind the mask and said.

“Mute is happy that he was able to survive the fight. If it were me, I would also laugh. That is the golden armor Senior Supervisor. If she wanted to kill Mute, Mute would have already been dead. But then again, fucking hell, Mute, apart from our commander, the black armor Senior Supervisor, and the green armor Senior Supervisor, you are the first one who was able to disarm the golden armor Senior Supervisor’s mask in our masked man army... No, it should be the first one in our entire Zhiwu forest. I guess it won’t be long until the entire forest knows about this. You are going to be famous! Maybe the commander will also want to see you!” said the other masked man who was carrying Chu Yunsheng.

The skinny masked man also walked back and forth to look at Chu Yunsheng closely. Only after a while did he say, “Old Six, you don’t say. It might really happen. We all have underestimated Mute. I have heard that no one wanted Mute originally. It was the Supervisor who forced Mute to stay in our team. Big Head Wang from the 7th unit and Gao Laozhuang from the 10 unit would definitely regret that they didn’t choose Mute. Boss, you are very smart!”

Chu Yunsheng just joined their team several days ago, but he was already injured during the “work”. However, it was not all just bad. Apart from receiving some compensations from the golden armored woman, It established his position in his unit. Although he didn’t really care that much.

But Chu Yunsheng’s unit didn’t return to their station straight away. After the first blackmail failed, they simply wrapped up Chu Yunsheng’s wound and went to the next black market, a place where the people, who lived at the bottom of the forest society, traded with each other. Although there were not many good things there, no one had a powerful background over there.

Saying that the black market they were going to didn’t have any protectors was actually wrong. Because if something really happened, the 9th unit would be there to solve things for them.

Chu Yunsheng felt like they were some scumbags walking into a peaceful town. When they appeared on the market, many people began to run and shout. “Masked men are here! Run!”

Then, the whole place instantly became chaotic as hell. Some booths were pushed over, some traders quickly gathered their stuff and wanted to run away, and most of the traders began to push their trailers desperately towards the end of the street.

But when they escaped to the end of the street, they noticed the skinny masked man Old Three and some other masked men were already waiting there while puffing cigarette smokes.

Looking at the stunned faces of the people in the crowd, the skinny masked man flicked off the cigarette ash and said lightly, “Old Seventeen, what are you waiting for? Take whatever you can. You had shitty luck today. So brothers want you to choose first.”

Old Seventeen was Chu Yunsheng. Since the accident, they began to call Chu Yunsheng Old Seventeen instead of Mute. Although it was the last number in their group, they began to really treat Chu Yunsheng as one of their own.

Chu Yunsheng glanced over the crowd of people who dressed in tattered clothes. Whoever saw that Chu Yunsheng was looking at them, they would immediately bow their heads down to avoid eye contact. At the same time, they all stepped back quickly, fearing that Chu Yunsheng was going to take away the things they had. Many little kids were hiding behind their guardians and looking nervously at Chu Yunsheng’s group.

However, Chu Yunsheng didn’t plan to participate in this kind of business. He simply just took over the cigarette from the skinny masked man’s hands and leaned against a tree to enjoy the moment of peace in his mind.

“Fuck me. Why are you taking my cig?” The skinny was dazed for a second and then cursed.

“What are you guys looking at! Wanna die? You! All males stand on the right! Females stand on the left! Do it now!” He shouted at the panicked crowd.
