Dark Blood Age Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Chapter 182 Human And Mice

“… Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go…” Edgar silently recited in his mind. His body was shaking, however, he still had to keep crawling into the dark.
The rope was being dragged longer and longer until he disappeared from everyone’s sight.
After another wave of sharp pains, Chu Yunsheng woke up once again. He started to notice that the number of times he lost his consciousness was very abnormal.
Only when he carefully examined himself one more time did he realize that he had been exposed to the corrosive liquid for too long and the poison had already spread deep inside his body. It was the main reason that he lost consciousness repeatedly.
This place was not safe. Falling unconscious in this place was extremely dangerous. But Chu Yunsheng didn’t have any alexipharmic talismans. All the Yuan Qi he restored were gathered by his Rong Yuan body automatically to suppress the poison from spreading faster and further. But the effect was very slow and he passed out once again…
…..
Chu Yunsheng felt a sharp pain from his thigh, it instantly woke him up one more time. When he realized what happened, he instantly broke into the cold sweat.
He was surrounded by many little green light dots. They were like many ghost fires floating around him.
There was a pair of green lights on his thigh, and that was the cause of pain.
He tried to move the gun and aimed the gun at the green light dots, but he was too weak. The gun was dropped on his thigh and it instantly provoked the light dots. Only when the light dots jumped towards the gun did Chu Yunsheng realise what they were. Those were green eyes and they belonged to a mutant mouse.
The mouse was ferociously worrying the gun and trying to rip it open. Chu Yunsheng immediately grabbed the handle of the gun and pulled the trigger when the mouse was chewing the tip of the gun.
The dark energy gun didn’t make any sound, but the energy bullet made a spark when the gun was fired. It instantly blasted the mouse into pieces and hit the ground in the middle of the crowd of green dots. At the moment when the spark appeared, Chu Yunsheng gasped in shock. The green light dots he saw were just the tip of an iceberg. There were so many of them crawling in the dark facing different directions…
The last time he encountered mice was when he was on the way to Jin Ling city. At that time, the mice he encountered were just regular mice. But this time was different. The eyes of those mice were glowing in green light in the dark. Even an idiot would know that those mice were much more dangerous.
The condition of his body seemed to be getting worse, the poison began to slow down his movement. He couldn’t even take out the corrosive liquid from the storage talisman.
“Fuck, am I really going to be killed by those mice?” Chu Yunsheng cursed silently.
But he was not going to give up so easily. He forced himself to split some of Yuan Qi out and used it to activate the armour. Then he wrapped himself in the cloak.
In the beginning, he tried to use the gun to kill those mice, but there were too many of them, and he couldn’t infuse Yuan Qi into the dark energy gun anymore because his body needed those Yuan Qi units to defend the poison. So he relied on the energy field inside the gun to trigger the fire enchantment talisman to unleash the enchanted energy bullets. However, there wasn’t much Yuan Qi left inside the fire enchantment talisman. So in the end, he gave up shooting the gun.
Now whether he could survive this or not, it all depended on whether the cloak and the armour could withstand those mutant mice’s teeth or not.
But in the meantime, he needed to absorb Yuan Qi from the absorption talisman and help his body to fight back the poison as soon as possible. Once he recovered, he could easily kill them all or escaped from here.
……
Wang Qishun felt very sleepy since the night went completely dark.
When he was about to take a nap, the rope in his hand suddenly stretched very tight. Then he heard some rustling sounds coming from the deep dark street.
He was startled and threw away the rope in panic. Then he realized that he needed to inform other people. So he immediately signaled Liu Tiesheng and then quickly ran towards the door to close it. But just when he was about to close it, he saw the rope was loosened again.
When he was relieved and thought that everything was going to be the same just like the last few times, he saw Edgar running back quickly from the deep dark street while attempting to shout out loud, even though his mouth was gagged. It seemed like Edgar was trying to tell them something, but his scream was muffled.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
It was Edgar banging at the building’s entrance using his head. In this silent dark evening, it was extremely loud and clear.
“This fucker! Like I said, sooner or later, he will get us all killed!” Liu Tiesheng hissed.
“Listen! It doesn’t sound like an insect!” No one knew why Wang Qishun suddenly became so brave to lean against the wall to listen to the sound that came from outside.
“Mice! Food! Open the door! Liu! We have something to eat now!” Edgar finally rubbed off the gag and shouted with excitement.
However, Liu Tiesheng did not believe him. Only when he saw a mouse crawling into the building through the gaps between the doors did he finally change his mind.
No one liked to see mice in the age of light, they were the definition of dirty and disgusting. However, after what everyone had been through, the definition of mice had changed to food and delicious.
It was because of that, the mice inside Jin Ling city were almost extinct.
Liu Tiesheng’s mind was instantly filled with one word – food when he saw the mice. If there were mice outside, it meant that there was a chance to survive longer. He instantly picked up his loose pants and looked at Yang Dong. It seemed like he wanted to ask Yang Dong’s opinion first before he acts.
“Xiao Wang, open the door, let’s catch those mice!” Yang Dong picked up a chair and slammed onto the mouse that just crawled into the door. He raised his head and shouted at those researchers, “If you all don’t want to die, catch those mice!”
Mice like dark, and since the dark age began, they became even smarter. So this opportunity was very rare. If they missed out this opportunity, there probably wouldn’t be next time.
Soon the mice started to crawl into the building through the gaps one by one. It made them even more excited. It meant that they wouldn’t be hungry for a very long time.
However, they did not know what they were facing.
As soon as Wang Qishun pulled the door open, a shadow instantly fell on the ground. It was Edgar with several mice crawling on top of him. He was tumbling on the ground trying to get those mice off him.
“Bitch! You Bit me! Die! Die!” He finally broke free from the rope and grabbed the mouse that was trying to crawl into his clothes, and smashed it onto the ground. He was shouting while using his feet to stamp the mice.
The mice flocked in when the door was opened, but no one seemed to be worried. Everyone was so excited as if they were on drugs. They used everything they could find in the building as weapons to kill the mice as many as they could.
“This does not look right! There are more and more of them!” The first person that noticed the abnormal number of the mice was not the people who held the guns. It was the female researcher Su Chenyi.
Her scream instantly reminded everyone that even though they had killed a lot of them, the number of mice didn’t seem to reduce!
“Motherfucker! I knew this black egg would not bring luck to us,” Liu Tiezheng cursed out loud. He grabbed the two mice that were about to crawl into his clothes and slammed them onto the ground. Then he immediately ran upstairs.
Everyone noticed what he was doing, and they immediately followed. No one wanted to be left behind.
“Fuck off!” cursed Yang Dong while pushing an old researcher away. That man instantly tumbled down the stairs.
Wang Qishun was the last person running up the stairs. When he saw someone falling off the stairs he instinctively tried to help the person, but when he saw several mice jump onto him, it immediately scared him away and made him ignore the person and keep running.
“Help… He… ah…” the researcher was quickly swallowed in by the massive number of the mice.
“Bang!”
The door to the second floor was closed!
But no one was relieved. They could still hear the mice chewing the wooden door. This door wouldn’t be able to stop them for long.
Meanwhile, the mice still couldn’t break Chu Yunsheng’s protection. But they were not giving up. Many of them crawled underneath Chu Yunsheng, started to lift him up, and move him towards the place that had even more green light dots.
