"Yes, did you see a long sword wielding dark warrior registering here?" Qin Min jumped down from the military vehicle and asked casually.
"Sir, I didn't see him!" Inspector Zhang answered quickly and straightforwardly. Although he had never seen that person before, but the military rank on his shoulder made him not dare to be rude.
"Give me the dark warrior registration form, I want to see it!" Qin Min knitted his brows. He had just arrived at the scene, but other than the soldiers who were rescuing the wounded and killing the insects, he didn't see any dark warriors.
"Huh? Why is there no dark warrior? This is the only checkpoint in this area! " Qin Min was confused. But he also didn't want to let anyone know about this. His division commander had told him again and again not to let Wang Dapao's people know about this.
The registration form was very thick, so he couldn't check it one by one. Qin Min had no choice but to put back the registration form and try to cover it up, "good job, thank you!"
Qin Min sighed, shook his head, and got into the military vehicle. It seemed that he had to disappoint the division commander.

"Brother Chu, where are you going? Let me give you a ride! " Duan Danian got a white van out of nowhere and passed by him from behind. He opened the door and said, "What are you waiting for?
Chu Yunsheng had seen the map before. There was still a long way to go to the north of the city where his aunt lived, and he was not familiar with the roads in Jin Ling city. So he hesitated for a second, but still got on the van with the little tiger.
Although he knew what Duan Danian was thinking, he didn't really care about it. The most important thing now was to see his aunt and her family as soon as possible.
After getting on the van, Chu Yunsheng noticed that Duan Danian had a new badge on his chest. There was a picture of the Earth on it, and below it was written in Chinese characters, "Dark warrior" and "Rank-2".
"This is issued by the Dark Warrior Headquarters. Come, brother Chu, sit down first." Duan Danian moved to a seat and explained, "you can go to the Dark Warrior Headquarters in the city center to be assessed. They will issue you an official badge and an information card. You can hang this badge in the city center, it will save you a lot of trouble."
"Dark Warrior Headquarters?" Chu Yunsheng had heard about this department from Inspector Zhang.
"Yes! Now there are three main departments in Jin Ling city. The first one is the Communist Party's General Headquarters. They control all the military forces of the ten main divisions in the city. They also have the power to allocate all the resources. The second one is the General Research Department. They gather a lot of self-righteous scientists to research new weapons and some bullshit dark energy. The third one is the Dark Warrior Management Department. All the dark warriors in Jin Ling city are under their management. "
"Brother, Mr. Chu, where are we going?" Sun Qian, who was driving, looked at the rearview mirror and asked.
"Brother Chu, I'll drop you off first. The car is fast, so we'll be there in a circle," Duan Danian said.
Chu Yunsheng did not refuse, he said, "West Gate Road, Xiang Shan Village."
It was already past 20 pm, and there were very few cars on the road, so they drove very fast.
As the vehicles drove deeper into the main city, the number of refugees sleeping on the streets increased. Under the already sparse street lights, they crowded together, exhaling white cold air from their mouths. If one listened carefully, they could even hear faint, trembling moans from the cold and hunger.
"How come there is still electricity in Jin Ling city?" Chu Yunsheng was confused. If they were using thermal power, the coal would have been used up a long time ago. Jin Ling city also did not have any coal production, so it would not have lasted this long.
"I heard that the people from GRD risked their lives to dismantle the units of the nuclear power plant from Zhe province and brought them back to Jin Ling city. Then they used it to build a super small underground dark energy nuclear power plant. But it's not very stable, and there are frequent power outages. Except for some important roads and places, all the electricity is limited. As for the other old … I don't know. " Duan Danian almost called himself "old man" when he was talking. He quickly took out a pack of cigarettes and passed one to Chu Yunsheng to cover up his embarrassment.
Chu Yunsheng looked at the hazy shimmer outside the window. The whole city was like a hazy shimmer city. The lifeline of this city was not only the military, the food, but also the electricity that could bring light and power to the human race.
"Shouldn't GRD and HQ be under GCH's jurisdiction? How come they are divided into three departments? " Chu Yunsheng stopped looking at the window and asked. Logically speaking, GCH was in charge of the military and the food, so it was definitely in charge of the military.
"Sigh, I, Old Duan, am a boorish person. I really can't explain the dirty matters of the upper echelons. Let me give you an example, let's take your little tiger for example. I heard that GCH didn't agree to the plan at all. Think about it, people are dying of starvation in the city every day, where would they find the extra food to waste on those animals? But those stupid scientists didn't agree to it. They kept saying that we ordinary people don't understand the importance of species. In short, the conflict was getting bigger and bigger. Even GCH had different opinions about it. But not long after that, the plan was approved. I heard that it was related to GRD's new weapon. "
Lao Duan took a puff of the cigarette and continued, "when our HQ was first established, it was actually a voluntary organization of awakened humans. But later on, those bastards from GCH forcibly made it official. You just came to Jin Ling city, so you don't know about it. But ever since the insect appeared, the conflict between awakened dark warriors and the military has always existed.
You didn't see the military recruiting dark warriors at the checkpoint, did you? There were some dark warriors in the past. At that time, the military was forced to recruit a large number of dark warriors. We were just ordinary people, so we were used to living a carefree life. But later on, some people didn't want to follow the strict military management, so the conflict between us and the military became a big problem. At that time, a lot of people died, even some high-level officials died because of it.
At the most dangerous time, the insect also took the opportunity to attack us. After that incident, because of the serious protest from the dark warrior HQ, GCH held a meeting for a few days, and finally gave up on the compulsory recruitment. But secretly, the ten main divisions still played some tricks. But since then, the power of the dark warrior HQ has been gradually expanded, and this is the current situation. "
After listening to Duan Danian, Chu Yunsheng roughly understood that among the three top forces in Jin Ling city, GCH was the first, GRD was the second, and the dark warrior HQ was the third! They cooperated with each other, but also kept each other in check.
And this was just the power relationship between the top forces, the dark world below them was probably even more complicated and chaotic.
Although Jin Ling city was small, a large number of survivors from all over Eastern China had gathered in one night. The city was overcrowded, and all kinds of fights were extremely fierce, whether it was for food or weapons.
Using the boring time in the car, Chu Yunsheng chatted with the robber leader about all kinds of things. He learned a lot about Jin Ling city, and he even learned about Duan Danian's story. He also understood why Duan Danian was trying so hard to get close to him. But Chu Yunsheng did not want to get involved in this kind of fight. He was not interested in this kind of fight between dark forces. At most, he would provide them with food in the future as a reward.
What he needed to do now was to find his aunt's family, and then find a place to study the ancient book in detail. He wanted to finish reading the whole book as soon as possible!
The car drove very fast. After entering the main city area, there were only one or two cars passing by. According to Duan Danian, except for the people from the three main divisions, ordinary people were not allowed to use cars. Because the amount of gasoline was very little, it was already listed as a military item. Dark warriors could use cars, but they had to go out of the city to find the gasoline themselves.
When the van turned into the Xiguan road, which was a narrow road that he was familiar with, his heart was beating very fast.
When he was a child, he was often sent to his aunt's house by his father. Later on, when he started working, he also came here once a year. Therefore, he was very familiar with every building on this street.
There was no guard in the residential area, so the van directly followed Chu Yunsheng's instructions and drove into the residential area.
When he finally stood in front of the 12th building, he was surprised to find that the fifth floor of his aunt's house was still lit. At that moment, Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt like he was home.
