Chapter 169
On the next day early morning, Chu Yunsheng went to GRD straightaway. Because he could not sleep all night, it made him look haggard.
When Chu Yunsheng arrived at the city center, he noticed that there were many heavily-armed soldiers guarding the place where they discovered the monolith. There were five big triangle cone-shaped strange machines built around the place, and they formed a big pentagon shape on the ground.
‘Since when did GRD build this?’ Chu Yunsheng wandered.
With the help of the special rank badge that professor Sun had given to him, Chu Yunsheng easily passed the security and went into the lab.
Assistant Zhou was told by professor Sun that whenever Chu Yunsheng came to GRD, he should take him to the lab first.
Professor Fang and professor Sun were busy doing experiments when Chu Yunsheng arrived. Their tired expressions indicated that they had not had a good rest. However, their eyes were filled with excitement.
“Xiao Chu, you came here just at the right time! Look at Old Fang’s experiment, it’s almost completed now!” professor Sun rubbed his red eyes and said with excitement.
“What experiment?” Chu Yunsheng was curious.
“The new smelting technology! Combining with the relevant dark energy, we could massively produce armour, using the shells of the insects!” Professor Sun said proudly, “it’s a huge technological advancement in human history!”
“However, the theory is not perfect. But once it is completed, we could directly deploy the armour to the military and equip our soldiers with those armours.” professor Sun said while pressing a machine’s buttons.
“In that way, we will have fewer people dying!” Chu Yunsheng admired their intelligence and what they were doing here.
Although the armour they made did not improve the soldier’s physical strength like the armour he made did, and the only benefit it was able to provide was just some defence ability, it could still save a lot of soldiers’ lives.
“Not just that, we could also use this technology to reinforce the walls around the city so the swarm can be blocked outside of the city!” professor Sun laughed out loud as if that day was near.
“It must be a very spectacular scene!” Chu Yunsheng could also imagine the scene. The wall between light and darkness, civilization and beasts.
“Yes, Xiao Chu, I really hope that day will come sooner, too many people have died!” professor Sun let out a long sigh.
“We have to thank the monolith, it gave us the inspiration, that was a truly miraculous object, many researchers were affected by it. It was a shame that it flew away, otherwise…” professor Fang sighed.
“Old Huo has already organized the smartest biologists and neurologists to study the impact of this incident on the human brain. As long as we can find out what caused it, we will figure out a way to improve it. Old Fang, don’t be upset.” said Professor Sun.
“Xiao Chu, we also wanted to talk to you, but it was delayed by this experiment for almost two days.” professor Sun paused for a second and said.
“We will talk about that later, I need to ask you something first, what is the anti-world?” Chu Yunsheng knew what they wanted to talk about. From Mo Wuluo’s incident, he had already realised how bad the food shortage problem has become.
“They still found you!” said Professor Sun. His reply made Chu Yunsheng baffled. Then he signalled the assistant Zhou and whispered to him, “go get Old Chui, don’t alert other people.”
As one of the most senior researchers in GRD, professor Sun more or less knew something about the woman in the white dress and the cloaked man.
Chu Yunsheng followed them into a quiet room and waited.
Soon, professor Huo ran into the room, “Old Sun, what is so important? I still have a lot of experiments waiting for me to do!” He said hurriedly.
Just when he finished the sentence, he saw Chu Yunsheng. Then he looked at professor Sun and professor Fang’s stern faces again. In that split second, he seemed to have realised something. He slowly closed the door and sat down quietly.
“Xiao Chu, we didn’t want to hide it from you, because we don’t know much about them. In fact, compared to them, you are the only secret we and GCH wanted to hide!” said Professor Sun.
“Me?” Chu Yunsheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
“Yes. The former commander-in-chief was our old friend. When we arrived at Jin Ling city, we reported the things you did to him. At that time, the argument between him and the alien had reached the peak. He was extremely worried about the future of Jin Ling city. So after we confirmed that you are a human, he listed all your information as the highest classified information. No one else except him in Jin Ling city could access your file. The day before he died… He destroyed all your documents.” professor Sun slowly explained.
“Why did he want to do this? Many people in the second division know about me. You can not keep it as a secret.” Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows. He had heard too many secrets recently. He almost couldn’t handle the pressure.
“Commander Du’s men didn’t know a lot of things about you. So it doesn’t matter. Also, everyone treated their words as rumours. So not many people believed them. But Xiao Chu, think about it, have we ever revealed any information about your abilities, your sword, and armour to anyone? We hide them from the new commander-in-chief. We even lied to them.” professor Sun said.
Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second. What he said was true; he had never been bothered by the researchers from GRD. Even Zhu Lingdie, who had many connections in Jin Ling city also thought that his armour and weapons were from GRD.
‘So it was them who covered it up for me.’ Chu Yunsheng was surprised.
“Now let’s talk about the anti-world. Since you have heard that word, that means that those two aliens have already found you. But we don’t know much about them, the former commander-in-chief had once arranged for me to observe the cloaked man in secret. According to the information we had about him and with my years of experience as a biologist. I am certain that he is not a human!” professor Huo said sternly.
“One of them is very cruel and cold towards the human race, the other one is slightly better. But both of them have never revealed any of their technological knowledge and dark energy knowledge to us. Not even the slightest! It was because of this, the former commander-in-chief never stopped arguing with the cloaked man, it was also the reason why the cloaked man killed him!”
“Since the former commander-in-chief died, we all knew that they don’t care about human lives, we have to rely on ourselves. To us, they are as dangerous as the insects outside the wall, and maybe even more dangerous!” said Professor Sun.
“If they don’t care about us, why are they helping two deputy chief commanders gaining control of Jin Ling city?” Chu Yunsheng pointed out where they contradicted themselves.
“This is just temporary, the entrance to the anti-world is in Jin Ling city. Before they find the things they are looking for, they need someone to secure and stabilize the entrance when they enter the anti-world.
Secondly, they need equipment to open the entrance. This part, they have already done it without us. They have already selected and controlled a small group of people to do it. But we still need to provide them with the materials.
Thirdly, the dark warriors; they need some dark warriors to assist them to open the entrance. They need the dark warrior’s energy to do it.
This is all we know. But it is more than enough for us to know why they need to control Jin Ling city.” said Professor Sun.
“Why would two deputy chief commanders be willing to be controlled by them?” this was something that Yao Xiang wanted to know, and Chu Yunsheng also confused.
“They don’t have other choices, those two aliens could easily kill Zhù Xīruì and Fāng Yuèhòu! At the moment, Zhù Xīruì and Fāng Yuèhòu have different opinions about the future of Jin Ling city. Fang Yuehou thinks that we should join the aliens and surrender to them. In that way, they will probably help us. But Zhu Xirui thinks that we should use two alien’s conflict to gain some advantages from it. We should not be their slaves.” professor Fang explained.
