Chapter 99: Is it finally here?

Behind the car, Chu Yunsheng handed the baby to his mother, who clung to the child tightly, as if afraid someone would take it away again.

Chu Yunsheng found a can of milk powder from the storage talisman, not caring whether it was suitable for a newborn, and handed it to Cui Yuquan, saying sternly, "This is for the baby. You take care of it for them. Don't let it fall into anyone else's hands."

Compared to the others, Chu Yunsheng had little contact with them, but Cui Yuquan was relatively reliable. Although he was a bit rash and had recklessly clashed with Li Yue, now with Chu Yunsheng and Zhao Shanhe supporting him, there wouldn't be any major issues in this heavily damaged group.

"Brother Chu!?" Cui Yuquan looked at the milk powder in his hand in surprise. What milk powder meant in this era, perhaps the awakened warriors didn't understand, but ordinary people like him knew all too well!

Moreover, Cui Yuquan had no idea how Chu Yunsheng suddenly "produced" a can of milk powder, and it was brand new! It was completely different from the broken and incomplete food found in the ruins. Not to mention, Chu Yunsheng had previously mysteriously taken out a large bag of insect meat to solve their severe food crisis.

"Don't ask, don't ask anything. I can only help you this much. You have so many people, ultimately you still need to rely on the government of Jinling City. Go and arrange to cook some insect meat. Eat up and get on the road. We're not far from Jinling City!" Chu Yunsheng interrupted him, though he had helped them continuously, he didn't want to reveal his biggest secret.

"Brother Chu..." Cui Yuquan bit his lip, hesitating. Seeing Chu Yunsheng's displeasure, he quickly explained, "I'm not asking about the milk powder. Brother Chu, I want to ask you how to awaken. Brother Zhao taught me many methods, but I've tried countless times and never succeeded. You are the strongest awakened warrior here, and the most powerful I've ever seen. Can you teach me?"

He and Wu Zi had been paying attention to the battle above when Chu Yunsheng fought alone against a group of insects, even using ice and fire abilities simultaneously, which left them in awe and admiration.

Chu Yunsheng hadn't expected him to ask this question, but he knew nothing about awakening. If Professor Sun were here, he might have some insights, but Chu Yunsheng wasn't that knowledgeable.

"I don't know how to awaken. I can't help you with that," Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said.

"Is there no way at all?" Cui Yuquan persisted.

Chu Yunsheng shook his head again. Seeing the gradually dimming look in his eyes, Chu Yunsheng added, "I think it's a matter of biological science. In Jinling City, there are many scientists who might have a solution. For now, don't think too much about it. Organize your people and get to Jinling City as quickly and safely as possible. That's the most important thing."

Cui Yuquan nodded and said firmly, "No matter what, I won't give up!"

After he left, Chu Yunsheng carefully searched the storage talisman for medicine, spending a lot of effort to find some that met Doctor Li's needs.

Burying the dead, making food, and treating injuries.

With the medicine provided by Chu Yunsheng, Doctor Li quickly treated the severely injured. The witch had already woken up and was very stubborn. As soon as she regained some energy, she first treated her injured believers, then it was Zhao Shanhe and the others, and the ordinary people.

Chu Yunsheng tore the insect meat and fed the little tiger, which was already growling from hunger.

"Uncle, for you."

Chu Yunsheng already knew this little girl's name was Mengmeng. Her father had died protecting her and her mother from the red-armored insects.

Mengmeng, with her thin hands, held a bowl of meat soup in front of Chu Yunsheng. Chu Yunsheng had already eaten some dry rations and wasn't hungry, so he took it and put it aside.

Seeing that Chu Yunsheng didn't seem to like it, the little girl's eyes showed some disappointment, but her interest was quickly drawn to the little tiger. She wanted to touch the tiger's head but was afraid to.

"Uncle, it looks like a tiger. I've seen tigers in the zoo, but they are bigger," the little girl said, gesturing.

Chu Yunsheng smiled and took out a chocolate bar from his pocket, handing it to her and said, "It is a tiger, a little tiger."

"Chocolate!" the little girl exclaimed in surprise, "Is it for me?"

Chu Yunsheng nodded and patted her head, jokingly saying, "Don't tell anyone else!"

"Okay!" the little girl nodded vigorously, "But can't I tell my mom?"

Chu Yunsheng patted her head and said, "Go back, Uncle still has things to do."

The little girl, fearing that Chu Yunsheng would suddenly become fierce like last time, obediently put the chocolate in what she thought was the safest pocket, patting it with her small hand, and said carefully, "Thank you, Uncle! I'll keep the chocolate and eat it when I'm the hungriest!"

Chu Yunsheng smiled and said, "Go on!"

After getting the meat soup as a food supplement, the little girl regained her vitality. Chu Yunsheng watched her bounce away, as if he was seeing his lost childhood.

Chu Yunsheng handed the meat soup to Tian Weidai, who was wrapped in bandages. His back was completely corroded by the poison, and in some places, even the bones were visible. If it weren't for the witch's unique ability, Doctor Li's treatment alone wouldn't have saved him.

Tian Weidai was short and thin, with no beard like Chu Yunsheng and the others, looking like a clean-cut young man. However, his appetite was not small. In the past, others would take several sips to finish the gruel, but he could finish it in one gulp, leaving the bowl clean.

Chu Yunsheng gave him the meat soup, and he felt a bit embarrassed but couldn't resist the temptation. One bowl of meat soup was clearly not enough for him.

Cui Yuquan strictly controlled the food portions, though he secretly increased the portions for the awakened warriors. At this moment, Cui Yuquan truly understood the difficulties Old Cui had faced. Awakened warriors were too important for ordinary people like them.

"Mr. Chu, thank you!" Zhao Shanhe's injuries were no less severe than the others. He was knocked to the ground by the green fluorescent stinger, and if it weren't for his strong will and intense desire to survive, he would have ended up in the grave like the cook.

But when Doctor Li and the witch were about to treat him first, he endured the intense pain and insisted they treat Tian Weidai first.

"Mr. Chu, without you, none of us would have survived today!" Zhao Shanhe said, his voice weak from the pain, "You had the ability to break through and leave alone, but you didn't! Thank you for not abandoning us!"

Chu Yunsheng stopped him and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank the cook. He risked his life, and compared to him, we are still alive."

His words made everyone a bit somber, even Huang Renkuan, who no longer acted like a high official, only sighed softly.

"Finish eating and get on the road. We can't stay here long. If more monsters come, we'll be dead!" Chu Yunsheng changed the subject.

"Right, we shouldn't delay. Let's go now. Have Old Cui gather everyone and set off," Zhao Shanhe's brows furrowed, and he struggled to stand up.

"Forgot to tell you, Old Cui has had a mental breakdown and is in a state of confusion. I've let Cui Yuquan temporarily take over command," Chu Yunsheng helped Tian Weidai up and said calmly.

"?" Zhao Shanhe and the others opened their mouths wide but didn't make a sound. Many people were driven mad every day, and no one could guarantee they wouldn't go mad in the future. This world was too harsh.

The car had been completely destroyed by the green fluorescent stingers and couldn't be repaired. The remaining journey could only be made on foot.

Cui Yuquan gathered all those who could still move. With Chu Yunsheng's help, they made a stretcher to carry Qin Meizi, who had just given birth and was still bleeding.

Huang Renkuan was forced to the front of the group to lead the way. Apart from Chu Yunsheng, he was the least injured among the remaining five and still had some strength.

Chu Yunsheng stayed at the back, personally guarding the rear.

Actually, he had another plan. The green fluorescent stinger corpses, even with their diminished essence, could still be used to create several life-saving essence-absorbing talismans.

After everyone set off, Chu Yunsheng used the storage talisman to collect all the green fluorescent stinger corpses.

At this moment, a faint light appeared in the sky. The distant mountains, though not tall, still lay like ancient giants at the end of the dim horizon.

"Look! Beyond those mountains is Jinling City!" Zhao Shanhe raised his arm and shouted.

Is it finally here!? The flame of hope instantly burned brightly in everyone's hearts, their emotions soaring!
