Chapter 657: Chapter 657 Shanghai, I’m Back

When Chu Yunsheng arrived outside Shanghai, it was the seventh day after he left the Ghost Town.

The reason why he had to delay so many days was that he needed to prepare enough absorption talismans and material for armors. Both the highway and the railroad had become his main hunting ground. Humans couldn’t see insects and monsters, but they could see humans, these were the places where they were most likely to appear.

Although it was cruel to use the refugees as bait, he also saved their lives anyway. Moreover, after they entered the city, rumors would start to spread, this would help him a lot before he entered Shanghai.

He wanted to let Shanghai’s military and government know that he, Chu Yunsheng was coming back!

As for Old Youling, to be honest, he didn’t care about it at all. A ghost-like creature that was scared of black gas. He could easily kill it.

After seven days, any monsters that were alone or in smaller groups near those two routes were eliminated by him.

Strangely, apart from seeing the normal red-shelled insects, which were the ones that would attack all humans indiscriminately, he didn’t see any other two types of red-shelled insects.

Chu Yunsheng had thought about this for quite a while. He was able to encounter those two types of insects as soon as he came out of Nanjing, it could only mean that they had already been gathering outside Nanjing and waiting to attack him while he was trapped inside. However, after he managed to escape from the attack, they must have found some places to hide and then started to massively expand their creep area. Once they had a Min, they would definitely come back to attack him again.

Since the party that wanted to kill him was doing the preparation, the party that wanted to save him, which was the black-ridged insects, would also do the same thing. After all, he was too familiar with the insects. So he was sure that this was most likely the reason why he didn’t see any of them at the moment.

Then what was waiting for him would be a massive war of terror. The more peaceful it was at the moment, the scarier it would be when the war broke out.

Therefore, he must improve his strength as soon as possible!

The serious wounds left by the battle with the giant head were gradually recovering, and he was seizing all his time trying to break through the first substage of Yuan Tian Stage Two.

In the past, this was the breakthrough that almost killed him above the office building in Jin Ling city, and the reason was simply that he misunderstood a symbol.

However, the deep impression left by the dangerous cultivation practice at that time was not only just this one. It was at that time, he also started to use the insect’s culture fluid to increase his own cultivation speed. He thought that he took the shortcut, but in the end, he was almost tortured to death by this shortcut. But unexpectedly, he was able to form Yuan Tian stage three using Inverse Yuan Qi.

Of course, he still didn’t know if this was the reason why he had inverse Yuan Qi, mainly because it was too chaotic at that time, he either had a problem with his zero-dimensional space or his life force. All the problems just kept appearing because of the shortcut he took, in the end, even the senior practitioner also said that it was almost impossible to save him.

But now he was inside the Pseudo-Monolith. Although he knew that it wasn’t real, he still wanted to practice it step by step, refrain from impulsiveness and impetuousness, and reach Yuan Tian Stage three using the correct method. There were two main reasons why he wanted to do that. Firstly, it could endure that he had the power to take the rest of the pendants. Secondly, he also wanted to see how powerful would real Yuan Tian Stage three be. Or maybe he could even try to reach Yuan Tian Stage Four!

Actually, based on the time he had, he thought that it was entirely possible. After all, he was familiar with all the cultivation steps from stage one to stage three. So there shouldn’t be any big problems, as long as he could guarantee the steady progress of his cultivation level. So before the simulation ended, he still had a chance to break through Yuan Tian Stage three.

In fact, he had an even bigger ambition, but it was not very realistic.

That was to use the time he had in the Pseudo-Monolith to try to reach Yuan Tian Stage nine, and maybe explore the even higher cultivation stages.

Reaching Yuan Tian stage nine was the only way to save him. This was the message left by the senior practitioner.

And in the message that later appeared in the ancient book, the senior practitioner also mentioned something about Deity Ascension after Yuan Tian stage nine. However, Chu YunSheng didn’t know what it was, so he simply thought that it was a higher cultivation stage.

Actually, although the senior practitioner said that there was only one way to save him, he often vaguely felt that there should be another method. A method that was different from the cultivation system of the ancient book. However, it was just a strange feeling after all. So in the end, he just stopped paying much attention to this kind of feeling.

Looking at the city with sporadic lights in the distance, Chu YunSheng sighed,

“Shanghai, I’m back!”

Shanghai’s peripheral defense system has not been fully built. Buildings like the Jinling City’s defense tower that Chu Yunsheng had seen before were basically not yet constructed. Maybe there wasn’t enough time, or maybe they were busy dealing with the many spatial tunnels inside the city, there were only some military fortifications that were not far away from each other.

Saying that it was military fortifications, it was actually just using the regular civilians’ houses as blockhouses, with trenches dug between them, and various fences and barbed wires connecting to each other to form a crude isolation zone.

The periphery of the fortifications was full of refugees from all over East China, having various local accents. They were pleading, swearing, and pushing each other chaotically, just to get the opportunity to enter the city.

At the moment, the people in the upper echelon of the Great Disaster Relief Command probably hated Chu YunSheng to death. The city was already crowded, and the limited survival resources were originally already extremely scarce, and they had already accepted a large number of citizens from Nanjing and other nearby cities. The entire city was currently completely overloaded.

However, that was not the end of it. The Shanghai survival zone information that Song Zihuai insisted on broadcasting has attracted countless people coming towards them from all over the country. After almost every corner of the city was occupied, the number of people in the city now has already surpassed the safety limit at least ten times.

After the fence was completed, if anyone wanted to enter the overcrowded city, they must get an entry permit.

Otherwise, no one would be able to get in..

This was also the same for Chu YunSheng. However, unlike normal people, it was very easy for awakeners to get a permit, even if the city was overcrowded. So for Chu YunSheng, he could easily disguise himself as an awakener and sneaked into the city.

However, Chu YunSheng didn’t plan to do it that way. Instead, he wanted to enter the city in a way that would make as many people know as possible.

He wanted to tell everyone in the city that the rumors outside the city were true. He, Chu YunSheng, was indeed still alive, and he was back.

He no longer cared about the information about the ancient book being leaked, and he was no longer afraid that other people would use his relatives to threaten him, or his strength didn’t match the government or the military.

Nowadays, with those rumors, once he appeared in Shanghai city, he would be able to influence a lot of people. And he, who had enough energy reserves, was at an advantage compared to other parties in the city.
