Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. On the third day, which was the morning in the US and the night in China, the sun disappeared again. It lasted for an hour. This time, the sun disappeared, causing great chaos. All kinds of crime rates soared. Some people who didn't want to believe in the end of the world were shocked when they heard the news. They went out to buy things overnight. But at this time, no shops were still open. Even the clerks in the shopping malls were human beings.
Those who couldn't buy things even started robbing shops. Cash could no longer be taken out of the banks. All kinds of POS machines and banks were also closed. The whole world fell into extreme chaos and paralysis.
In the early morning of the 25th, Chu Yunsheng heard gunshots, real gunshots! And the roar of tanks. The army had entered the city!
The situation was almost out of control. The government finally used the force of the army. Neat rows of tanks and armored vehicles slowly drove through the city like a flood of steel. After the rioting crowd fired warning shots, those rioters who tried to resist the army were directly shot to death. Bloodshed continued to happen all over the world. No one cared about this matter anymore. Only the government's TV and radio stations were still calling for people to calm down and restrain themselves.
When Chu Yunsheng rented the house, he had already considered the factor of the army's appearance. So he specially rented a residential area that was close to the government officials' compound and the rich and powerful people's residences. He didn't dare to rent it directly. Because he thought that after the army took over, they would definitely clean up and inspect the residential areas that were under special protection. People like him, who had stored so much food, were likely to be locked up as speculators.
So he only dared to rent a place near the city. Although he could still get some extra care from the army, it was not that strict. Through the window, he could see the patrolling soldiers with submachine guns, which gave him a sense of security.
After the call with Yu Xiaohai on the 23rd, Chu Yunsheng also called other relatives and classmates. The signal was sometimes good and sometimes bad. He reluctantly told them to be more careful and to stock up on supplies. He even asked them to come to his place if they were in danger.
But now it seemed that it was almost impossible. The military had taken over the city and implemented a citywide curfew. Every residential area was guarded by the military and police. All the daily necessities were transported by the military. Residents were ordered to stay at home until the situation calmed down.
However, the situation did not develop in the direction that the government hoped.
On the 25th, the sun disappeared for 2 hours!
On the 26th, the sun disappeared for 4 hours!
On the 27th, the sun disappeared for 10 hours!
Darkness! Darkness! A global crisis!
On the 28th, the entire world was plunged into complete darkness. Not a single time zone could see the sun!
On the 28th, an hour before the sun disappeared, the global signal was good. In front of the White House, Mr. President made his final speech. "… Satan has been resurrected on earth. Mankind will accept God's test and enter the Dark Ages. Only those who yearn for light, freedom, and love will be able to walk out of the darkness and return to God's side …"
Date: 28th
The entire world fell into darkness for an unknown period of time.
Chu Yunsheng sat in front of the window blankly. Although he had already predicted this day, when it really happened, he still had an instinctive panic in his heart. The world had changed, the rules had changed, everything had changed, what would the future hold? A brand new era was about to begin. Everything was unknown, not to mention those powerful creatures that could appear at any time in the alternate dimensions. All the disasters had just begun!
The only thing that comforted him was that he finally had a little bit of success in his Qi cultivation. He was able to peek at the vast Yuan Qi between heaven and earth, and he was able to refine some Yuan Qi into his body.
This little Yuan Qi was not enough for him to carve talismans. He still needed to continue his Qi cultivation. Other than that, he really had nothing else to do. All the communication was cut off. The soldiers outside could only use loudspeakers to spread the news to the residents.
Every day, he would go downstairs on time to collect the food distributed by the military. Although he did not need it, he was afraid that the soldiers would notice the abnormality in his house. When he came back, he heard from the experts upstairs that there were riots in several places. The residents who were grounded could not bear the apocalyptic atmosphere, so they had fierce conflicts with the local army. Many people died, and there were even cases of panic within the army.
Chu Yunsheng decided to stay at home and collect the food on time. He did not want to run around. He still did not have the ability to protect himself. The only Li Fire talisman he had, he still did not know how powerful it would be.
Time passed in this strange atmosphere. The weather outside was getting colder and colder. It had begun to snow continuously. The experts upstairs said that the ice age might be coming soon.
Chu Yunsheng closed all the windows, but it still could not stop the cold. The electricity supply was no longer guaranteed. He could only have three hours of electricity a day. Gas and natural gas had also been greatly reduced. Only the water supply was still barely maintained.
Chu Yunsheng was wearing a thick down jacket, sitting on the bed. It was already the fifth day of the dark age. He had barely accumulated enough Yuan Qi to make a low-level talisman.
Regarding talisman making, he had analyzed two routes a long time ago. One was the combat-type route. As his fourth dimension divine sense became clearer and clearer, through the ancient book, he felt more and more strongly that the Tian Gui of the alternate dimensions was getting closer and closer. The danger was increasing day by day. He needed to make an energy shield talisman that could increase his physical strength and defense, a fire elemental talisman that could modify a pistol, and a divine weapon elemental talisman that could make a long sword.
With his current ability, he estimated that in the remaining time before the Tian Gui of the alternate dimensions overlapped with the earth, he could only use Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to make three of these low-level talismans at most.
The other route, which Chu Yunsheng thought was the conservative one, was to make a fire elemental talisman that could modify a pistol to be able to use the power of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and a storage talisman that could store all the materials that he had been storing for the past three months.
This kind of storage talisman was a slightly higher level than the other talismans. If he made this storage talisman after making the fire elemental talisman, then it would not take long for him to reach the Tian Gui. In this case, he would have to rely on the protection of the pistol, which would greatly increase the risk.
On the one hand, he was afraid of death, on the other hand, he was more and more aware that he could not stay in these two houses for a long time. Soon, he would have to step on the road to escape. Therefore, the materials were extremely important.
Chu Yunsheng had made up his mind when he touched the ancient book again. He knew that his talent was ordinary. If he did not rely on the ancient book, he would at most be as powerless as other ordinary people. Only those who were as talented as the ancient book said would be able to automatically awaken the fourth dimension in the pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and be able to use Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi instinctively.
Therefore, he understood that for him, whether it was defensive or offensive talismans or a large number of materials, they were not the most important. The most important thing was the ancient book. As long as he had the ancient book, he would have the confidence to survive. Moreover, the ancient book was also the most important souvenir that his parents left him after they passed away. From this point of view, the ancient book could also be regarded as a "family heirloom".
