Chapter 629: Chapter 629 The Place Where Dead People Go

This was a big chaotic fight that no one could understand.

There was no team formation, no alliance, only blatant brutal killing between the floating monsters. When a floating monster just killed its defeated opponent and began to swallow it, it was instantly killed by other monsters from behind.

Chaotic, disorder, thoroughly bloody.

“Are they all crazy?” The skinny man gasped in shock.

But when he saw the corner of the fat man’s mouth twitched, seemingly knowing something, he asked strangely, “what? You know what’s going on?”

The fat man nodded and then quickly shook his head again.

Seeing the fat man acting like this, a fit of anger surged up into the skinny man’s head. Kicking the fat man’s buttocks, the skinny man scolded, “if you got anything to say, say it now, don’t fucking hide it.”

The fat man rubbed his buttocks and said with hesitation, “it is just a guess.”

“Say it!”

This time it was Chu Yunsheng who spoke. However, probably because Chu Yunsheng had kicked him earlier. Hearing what he asked, the fat man moved back two steps and looked at him vigilantly.

“Say it now, or I will kick you!” the skinny man gritted his teeth and lifted his leg as if he really wanted to kick the fat man.

The fat man quickly waved his hands, “okay, okay, I will say it. I have seen a video on CCTV’s Science Channel, and in the video, it said that when the density of a biological population is increasing, and when it exceeds a limit or a critical point, in order to compete for food and territory or other living conditions, they often use the method of cannibalism to reduce density and redistribute resources. The animals such as voles, once they reach the upper limit of density, they will collectively lose their mind and feed on each other, and we humans are the same, after every major big war, all the resources would be redistributed.

So I guess that without any natural enemies, and with the fast reproduction speed, the floating monsters that landed here with the ‘waterdrop’ from the hole in the sky, has probably reached that limit now.”

Seeing the skinny man and Chu Yunsheng were both listening to him carefully, the fatty man added with hesitation, “it is just a guess, I don’t know if it is what we are seeing now.”

The skinny man looked at the sky, swallowed, and said, “I hope it is true, and I hope they all die fighting each other.”

“Feed on each other… Intra-species struggle?” Chu Yunsheng frowned and also looked at the bloody battle in the sky.

Gradually, Chu Yunsheng started to notice that one floating monster started to glow a faint blue light.

And as the battle continued, and with more and more floating monsters the glowing floating master ate, the blue light inside it became brighter and brighter.

Chu Yunsheng suddenly remembered the time when he became a “fish” at the bottom of the underground lake. This was exactly like that. He frowned and said sternly, “no, it is not intra-species struggle. They are using this to evolve.”

The fat man was dazed for a moment, followed Chu Yunsheng’s eyes, found the floating monster that Chu Yunsheng discovered, and said straightly, “Yes, yes, look at that one, it’s getting more and more powerful!”

Thinking about the Nuptial flight he saw earlier, and now with this scene, a bad feeling began to emerge in Chu Yunsheng’s mind. His instinct told him that this was the first time that those monsters were evolving on a massive scale, and once they completed the evolution, they would be in danger, “I have a bad feeling about this, we need to leave this place as soon as possible!”

“But how can we leave here?” The skinny man was speechless. If he had known how to leave this place, he would have already done it.

“Train!”

Chu Yunsheng mentioned the reason why he came to the station again. If they could not even use a train to get out of here, then he really didn’t know how to escape from here.

The skinny man immediately shook his head, “I told you already, the train is broken, even if you can drive it, you still can’t use it to escape from here!”

Chu Yunsheng’s eyes instantly emitted cold gleams, “it is broken? If it is broken, how do you know that you can’t escape here with it? You must have tried it! Fatty you say it!”

Being suddenly called out by Chu Yunsheng, the fat man was startled and then looked at the skinny man for help.

Before the skinny man even answered, Chu Yunsheng pulled him away and said, “you shut up! Fatty, say it, is the train broken or not?”

The fat man still looked at the skinny man under Chu Yunsheng’s threatening eyes. This time, even if he was not going to say it, from his reaction, Chu Yunsheng knew that the train wasn’t broken. Otherwise, why was he hesitating?

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it anymore, the skinny man finally said honestly, “it is working, and there is a train driver that is still alive, but it is useless to drive it because it will probably kill everyone.”

Chu Yunsheng’s eyes instantly became cold, “have you driven the train into the edge of the city before? Tell me what happened.”

As if the skinny man remembered something extremely scary, a panic and terrified expression appeared in his eyes all of sudden, then his body and even his voice also started to shake, “that is a very scary place. It’s a place where the dead people go, we can’t go there.”

Chu Yunsheng carefully observed the look of the fat man, he was also scared. Obviously, both of them had been there, and they had gone very deep into the edge.

The place where the dead people went, and the ghost fire that the comrade of Luo Dalian said seemed to be very similar. It was not that Chu Yunsheng was suddenly interested in this. On the contrary, he was always vigilant toward the unknown. If that was the place that he didn’t have to go, he would definitely not go there. However, if that was the only way to get out of this place, then he would have to try it.

Moreover, so far, he has only heard people say that Nanjing was surrounded by a giant waterdrop, and there was no way to pass through the edge of the city, but he has never tried it himself. Hearing was not as good as seeing. He wanted to check it himself before he decided what to do next.

“Let’s go back to the waiting hall first, and tell me in detail about it,” Chu Yunsheng said resolutely.

The slaughter of the floating monsters above the head was still ongoing, and there was a sign of expanding. Looking at the current situation, maybe all the floating monsters in the city would be involved in this kind of “evolution”.

Now he should seize this precious opportunity and act quickly.

……..

In the waiting hall of the train station, Chu Yunsheng finally knew that the skinny man’s name was Feng Yingxi and he was not from Nanjing city.

When he just graduated from secondary school, he went to study how to repair automobiles in a technical college for several years. Then he brought his family to live in Nanjing city. As someone, who was not from the local area and married at an early age, life was quite tough for him.

But he was also ambitious. He tried his best to do everything. After a few years of working for other people, he finally started his own small auto repair shop.

At that time, he felt that his future was bright, and his son would grow up to be a second rich generation. However, he didn’t expect happiness to be so short-lived, and darkness came so fast, all his efforts turned into bubbles in an instant.

Then the Nanjing government and the military implemented a policy of giving priority to the evacuation of the local citizens of this city. He and his family were immediately pushed to the back of the evacuation list. He begged everyone he knew and told them that he knew how to repair all kinds of machinery and even tanks, but there were too many “talents” like him, so in the end, he was still listed on the last batch of the evacuation list.

He had also thought about bypassing the government and the military and went to Shanghai by himself, but he then heard that the government would not provide places if he went there on his own. If he had no friends or relatives in Shanghai, he would need to sleep in the wilderness or on the road. If he was alone, he would not find it that much, but he had a family. Moreover, after the darkness arrived, the temperature dropped rapidly, no one could stand the cold air outside.

However, this was not the worst.

As if God wanted to send him to the abyss, at the moment he boarded the train, a waterdrop fell from the sky and trapped everyone here.

That day was the darkest day of his life. His father and mother, who came from his hometown, died. His younger brother who had learned to repair cars with him also died, then his father-in-law, and his staff… It was originally a happy family, but it was completely shattered now. If it weren’t for his wife and son that were still alive, he really would not know what to do.

It was also that day that fate began to open another window for him. He was awakened and he gained a special power. Facing the corpses of loved ones, the corpses of his friends, he was angry, and he decided to take revenge, he decided to dominate the train station, prevent those government workers and the soldiers that had not yet evacuated from getting close to this place, so that he could watch those, who think that his life and his families’ lives were not important, die.

Several of his friends also awakened, so he gathered them together, dominated the train station, and drove away those, who attempted to return to the station, one after another, and those people included soldiers like Luo Dalian.

Gradually, he felt that it was actually pretty good here, with supplies, food, and guns in hand, and it was temporarily safe. Moreover, he didn’t think that he would have a better life in Shanghai than in this place.

The days seemed to be getting better again. No one in this city dared to come to provoke him again. Everything seemed to be back on track again, until Chu Yunsheng appeared, and fate again waved a big stick and hit him fiercely on his head, and this conflict almost caused his whole family to die.

No matter what, this was how Feng Yingxi thought, and how he looked at Chu Yunsheng’s arrival.

But in any case, as soon as he stepped into the waiting hall, Chu Yunsheng became the new owner here. In Nanjing city, where murder was no longer illegal, no one dared to provoke the arrow of death in his hand. That was something that even the floating monsters were afraid of.

It wasn’t long until Chu YunSheng used his power to force Feng Yingxi to reveal the secret of the railway station.

“So, this thin transparent coat was found deep inside the edge of the city?”

Chu Yunsheng touched the material on the cling-film-like transparent coat. It was a little slippery and a little elastic, but strangely, it couldn’t be torn apart with ordinary strength, and it could block the flow of heaven and earth energy.

Chu YunSheng didn’t know if it was because of this feature that the floating monsters couldn’t do anything to the skinny man, but at the moment, he was not interested in this, so he simply took a quick look and then returned it to the skinny man.

What he didn’t know was that when he asked the skinny man if he could have a look at the transparent thing he was wearing, the skinny man was extremely anxious. He thought that once Chu YunSheng got it, he wouldn’t return it.

“There seemed to be a battlefield that involved many deaths, and all the souls were still there. Pang Zi said that he had seen a person, who was lost in it some time ago. But it was like he had lost his soul, he did not respond to us. We dared not go in too deep, because as soon as we stepped on that scary place, there were sounds of spine-chilling wind everywhere, as if there were thousands of soldiers riding horses and carrying knives charging and killing people.” Feng Yingxi said while carefully folding the transparent coat, and put it in a place Chu YunSheng could not see.

“You also said that you saw a lot of good things, you really don’t want to go?” Chu Yunsheng took a sip of water and seemed to want to tempt them.

Feng Yingxi immediately shook his head firmly, looked at his wife, who was even more nervous than him and said, “I promised my wife that I would save my life to take care of them.”

Chu Yunsheng looked at him and smiled. His smile was so sudden and creepy that it made Feng Yingxi very nervous, “You can’t even beat me, who can you take care of?”

A flash of embarrassment on Feng Yingxi’s face. He nodded his head and said yes, but inside, he thought to himself, Do you think that everyone is as powerful as you? I have occupied this place for so many days and I have only had problems defeating one man, and that is you.

Feng Yingxi did not want to go, but Chu Yunsheng saw that the fat man seemed to be very interested, so he turned around and asked, “Pang Zi, are you going?”

The fat man first looked at Feng Yingxi. When he saw that Feng Yingxi tried to wink at him, he hurriedly looked away and said, “if Pi Yan goes, I will go!

Chu Yunsheng was confused, “Pi Yan? Who is the Pi Yan?”

When he was dealing with floating monsters outside, he indeed heard Feng Yingxi shout this name, but he didn’t seem to see the person here.

It was at this moment, a short boy, who was around seventeen or eighteen years old, crawled out of nowhere and appeared in front of him. Dark-skinned, big head, but very nimble.

“I just want to find a guide, you don’t have to go too deep, just wait for me outside of the danger zone you mentioned, I will promise you, as long as I find something good, I will definitely give one to each one of you, how’s that sound? I don’t like to talk about useless things, so just give me a quick answer!” Chu Yunsheng looked at the kid and said straightforwardly.

Seeing that Chu Yunsheng gave such good conditions, Feng Yingxi was also tempted and he started to communicate with his wife with eyes.

“Okay, as long as brother Chu will protect me, I will go!” The boy readily agreed, but he was very clever and added a condition. He wanted Chu YunSheng to guarantee his safety.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t mind it. He simply nodded and said, “deal, you two go to prepare first and we will leave soon.”

In case there was any danger, Chu Yunsheng waited until there was a trace of black gas in his body before he got up and set off. The purpose of him taking risks was to find a way out of Nanjing, not picking up “good things” inside. However, the strength of Yuan Tian stage one may not be reliable, so it was better to recover some black gas.

On the departure, Feng Yingxi thought over and over again, but eventually changed his mind and requested to follow them. In addition to the great temptation of “good things”, he also said that he was worried that Chu Yunsheng would “release” the monsters deep inside the edge. This was one of the reasons why he didn’t want to let anyone know the train was working.

He always felt that when they came back with the train, there was something following them. It felt like a demon was hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity to get out of the edge.

Feng Yingxi wanted to go with them. Of course, Chu Yunsheng would not reject it. Actually, this man was more suitable as a guide than the fat man and a kid. After all, he knew much more than those two people.

The train driver was an ordinary person and basically did not have a right to speak or complain. Before Chu Yunsheng showed up, he was controlled by Feng Yingxi. After Chu YunSheng defeated Feng Yingxi, obviously, he would have to listen to Chu YunSheng now.

Because of the power outage, the new type of trains in the train station couldn’t be started. Fortunately, there was one old locomotive with an internal combustion engine.

Diesel-burning locomotives were limited by the mechanical conditions of the old train structure. Even if it was just the locomotive alone, it would not be too fast. Moreover, its maximum speed was not much different from when it had carriages behind it.

Therefore, at the request of Chu Yunsheng, a part of the carriages was connected to increase the total weight of the train. With the additional weight, the inertial momentum after the engine stopped would be increased after they drove deep into the edge.

After the train’s horn was blown, the old locomotive slowly drove out of the train station. From here to the edge of the city, the distance was enough to accelerate it to the highest speed.
