Chapter 66: The Plan

Chu Yunsheng had now regained his composure and realized he had caused a major problem. He wasn't worried about leaking any secrets; this rule was just a small part of the vast set of rules in ancient books, and it was still in its initial form. What he was worried about was that he, an ordinary person, had managed to create something that even professors couldn't, and to say no one would have questions would be a dream!

Professor Fang suddenly shouted, grabbing Old Sun and exclaiming, "Old Sun, isn't this the project I argued for yesterday, which was later abandoned?! Who changed it?! Tell me who changed it!"

Old Sun, reminded by him, recalled the culprit and quickly pulled Chu Yunsheng, who was about to leave, saying, "It's him! Young man, don't go! Quickly tell us how you managed to create this!"

Chu Yunsheng steadied himself, his mind racing. After a moment, he said, "Professor Sun, do you think a person with just a bachelor's degree could come up with this? It was purely by chance. Believe it or not, it's the truth."

He was now regretting it deeply, but he had been so engrossed at the time, feeling a sense of fulfillment that made him burst forth without any other considerations.

Professor Sun looked at Chu Yunsheng as if he were a prehistoric creature, shaking his head and marveling, but Chu Yunsheng refused to admit anything, only acknowledging that it was a lucky guess. However, this reason seemed too weak, and few people believed it.

Professor Fang, not giving up, tried to pry something out of Chu Yunsheng, but Chu Yunsheng coldly rebuffed him. The embarrassed Professor Fang continued his calculations in silence, holding the manuscript.

Even Miss Zhao, who had kept a considerable distance from him, came over out of curiosity, looking at Chu Yunsheng with a mix of caution and interest.

The shock Chu Yunsheng had brought them was immense. He had learned from Professor Sun that Professor Fang's energy field model had been constructed for a long time, but it couldn't be further developed, leading him to believe he had made a mistake and abandon it.

This model was like the foundation of a building, crucial for the establishment of new physics after the emergence of dark energy. According to Professor Sun, if Chu Yunsheng could explain the meaning of the strange symbols in the equations and combine them with this model, he could even apply for the Nobel Prize in Physics of the Sunlight Era!

Chu Yunsheng smiled wryly. Nobel Prize? The royal family of Sweden was probably hiding somewhere, trembling in fear of the bugs outside!

He didn't want to get entangled in this issue and quickly reminded Du Qishan, who was becoming increasingly curious about him, "Commander Du, time is pressing. Please quickly arrange for them to explain how to break through the fog wall!"

Commander Du nodded. If they couldn't evacuate Kun City safely, any research results would be meaningless. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, please discuss how to break through the fog wall. The situation outside is extremely dangerous. I hope everyone can unite and contribute ideas to leave Kun City as soon as possible!"

His words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly cooling the previously enthusiastic atmosphere.

Professor Fang Ziweng stood up and said seriously, "The model of the Nine Palace Fog Wall has been established, and the sequential equations have been successfully derived. The problem now is not the sequence but how to quickly destroy the fog sources in the nine areas within twelve hours. Otherwise, the fog sources will regenerate, and the fog wall will restart. Professor Sun, please explain this."

Professor Sun took over, saying, "Commander Du, based on our observations, the giant plants in Kun City are actually connected. The fog sources are located on the upper parts of the large plants in the nine areas. These days, we have observed that these fog sources not only have some self-protection capabilities but may also have more dangerous monsters around them. The key is how to approach and destroy the fog sources. Once they are disabled, the goal will be achieved. For the specific military arrangements, please make a careful decision, but I must remind you that with our current strength, we may not be able to destroy all the fog sources."

His last words made the atmosphere in the meeting room even more oppressive.

Commander Du pondered for a moment and called over Advisor Tao, saying, "You immediately take Zhou Wei and a few others, allocate two tanks, and search the city for surviving awakened warriors. Gather as many as possible to break through the fog wall. Also—"

He turned to Professor Sun and asked, "Are you worried about the flame monsters? Do we have any estimates of their abilities? How many awakened warriors do we need to deal with them? I need the data for deployment."

Professor Sun shook his head and said, "The abilities of the flame monsters exceed our predictions. Numbers alone cannot make up for this gap. If we force a confrontation, the losses will be extremely heavy, even leading to total annihilation!"

Commander Du's brows furrowed. If they lost all their forces, even if they escaped Kun City, the journey to Jinling City would still be long, and there was no guarantee they would survive.

The meeting room fell silent again, each person lost in their own thoughts, worried and anxious.

Chu Yunsheng suddenly spoke up, "Commander Du, I might be able to help you distract the flame monsters! But—"

Before he could finish, everyone in the room turned to look at him, their expressions varied.

Chu Yunsheng didn't avoid their gazes. He no longer intended to hide his abilities and knew that leaving Kun City alone was unrealistic. Of course, if it meant certain death, he would rather stay in Kun City.

Commander Du looked at Chu Yunsheng in shock. He had only tried to recruit Chu Yunsheng because his abilities were higher than Gan Ziqiang's, never expecting that Chu Yunsheng would dare to face the flame monsters. After a moment, he said, "Mr. Chu, you know this isn't the time for jokes!"

Chu Yunsheng nodded and said, "Commander Du, let's talk privately."

The two moved to another meeting room. Chu Yunsheng habitually lit a cigarette and said, "Commander Du, let's save time. First, I'll tell you what I can do. When the attack starts, I can distract the flame monster, but I can't kill it. So you have at most one minute to destroy the fog source. If you can't do it in one minute, I can't help, and I will prioritize my own survival."

Commander Du asked seriously, "One minute is enough! Mr. Chu, are you sure you can do it? I don't want any mistakes!"

Chu Yunsheng smiled and said, "I can't do it right now, so I need to tell you my conditions. I need three days to enhance my abilities. During this period, I need your soldiers to help with a few things."

Commander Du asked incredulously, "Can you really enhance your abilities to the point of fighting the flame monster in three days?..."

Chu Yunsheng interrupted, "Commander Du, this is my business. I can promise you that in three days, I can fight the flame monster for one minute. If you continue to doubt, we can't talk further!"

Commander Du pondered and said, "What do you need from us?"

Chu Yunsheng tapped the ash from his cigarette and thought, "First, during this time, I need your regular soldiers to collect a large number of red beetle corpses. There are many in Kun City, and they have been dead for a long time, so they are not dangerous. Don't ask why, just do it.

Second, your awakened warriors should hunt as many red-eyed monsters as possible. I only need the corpses, and the more, the better! This is the most important, directly related to whether we can delay the flame monster.

Third, if we manage to escape Kun City and reach Jinling City, I need you to use your military resources to help me find a few people.

I know I can't force you to fulfill this last request, as I understand you are a pure soldier, and threats to your life are useless. But I believe, as a smart person, you understand that gaining a cooperative partner is far more beneficial than creating an enemy.

But you can rest assured that the person I am looking for has no conflict with your military interests."

Chu Yunsheng finished his conditions in one breath. He intended to use these three days to fully advance to the Duality Heaven realm and create a third-stage offensive Yuan symbol, which would allow him to fight the flame monster.

He had never directly fought a flame monster and was not yet at the Duality Heaven realm, so he cautiously said he could fight for one minute.

The red beetle corpses collected by the soldiers would help him maximize the protective capabilities of his battle armor and the sharpness of the Qianbi Sword. The red-eyed monsters hunted by the awakened warriors would provide more of the blue mist, which could corrode the flame monster's pure Yuan energy, making it crucial in the fight.

As for the last condition, Chu Yunsheng wanted to use Du Qishan's resources to find the person Lin Shuiyao mentioned, regardless of whether it was the second map or not, he wanted to try.
