Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 427 - 402: Untitled

In a small room.

A dim light bulb, emitting weak illumination.

"Sigh, I was in such a rush coming out. I seem to have forgotten to close the door, and you didn’t remind me." Mrs. Chen sat on the edge of the bed, hugging Chen Xingyue, and sighed, complaining to Father Chen.

The room resembles a student dormitory. Inside, there are only four beds, a small table, and a tiny bathroom, with nothing else. Though the place is simple, it’s much better than most people having to sit on the floor in the hallways or corridors.

"Given the current situation, you still care about that. Who would steal anything anyway?" Chen Dawei chuckled bitterly from the side.

"I was just finding a topic to talk about. What’s there to do other than let my mind wander?" Mrs. Chen glanced at the uninteresting Chen Dawei: "I’m not as carefree as you are, acting like nothing is happening."

Am I acting like nothing is happening?

I’m merely holding up.

Chen Dawei helplessly touched his belly.

I’m a grown man; I can’t be like you.

Of course, he could only think this in his mind; naturally, he couldn’t say it aloud. Then he comforted her: "Relax, we haven’t heard any noise outside for a long time. The war is probably over."

Until now, the three still didn’t know what happened outside; they only knew the government suddenly organized people to enter the air raid shelters, leaving them puzzled.

Chen Xingyue said, "I wonder how brother is doing?"

"He’s carrying out a mission in Dongxing City; he should be fine! He’s a martial artist with strong skills; if anything happens to everyone, he still won’t have any issue!" Chen Dawei said.

At that moment, the door suddenly knocked.

"Dad, mom, Xingyue, open the door, it’s me!" Chen Shouyi’s voice came from outside.

"Brother is here! I’ll open the door." Chen Xingyue looked delighted, immediately got up and went to open the door.

Father Chen and Mrs. Chen also smiled, standing up.

"Brother, your clothes..." Chen Xingyue opened the door, looking at Chen Shouyi in clothes that seemed to have rolled in mud, astonished.

"It’s snowing outside, the road’s too slippery, and I accidentally fell, not a big deal!" Chen Shouyi said as he entered, closing the door.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly found a set of Father Chen’s clothes and urged:

"Quickly, take off the wet clothes to avoid catching a cold!"

Chen Shouyi nodded, placed his weapons and briefcase under the bed, took the clothes from Mrs. Chen, and went to the bathroom.

Although Father Chen was half a head shorter than Chen Shouyi, he was thicker and wider, which made the clothes fit slightly tight.

After tidying up, he stepped out of the bathroom, Mrs. Chen handed a cup of hot water:

"Drink some hot water, it’s so cold, be careful not to catch a cold!"

He ran all the way here, feeling like he was smoking from exhaustion, certainly not cold, but he was indeed a bit thirsty. He took it and sat on the edge of the bed, sipping it little by little.

"When did you come back?" Chen Dawei asked; now that Chen Shouyi was back, he finally felt relieved.

"I just received news about trouble in Hedong, so I came. Seeing that you’re okay, I’m relieved!" Chen Shouyi said deeply; finally relaxing, he felt a bit weak all over.

Father Chen and Mrs. Chen didn’t think much of it, assuming he drove back. Mrs. Chen sighed: "Sigh, it’s so chaotic here now, why did you come back? How’s the situation outside now?"

Chen Shouyi shook his head, looking heavy: "I don’t know how to say, it’s very serious."

Father Chen and Mrs. Chen’s hearts sank; they exchanged glances with a foreboding feeling.

"Brother, what exactly happened?" Chen Xingyue couldn’t help asking.

Chen Shouyi hesitated for a moment, deciding there was no need to hide anything, and said solemnly: "The Barbarian God invaded, maybe Hedong has already fallen!"

The atmosphere instantly solidified.

...

Late night.

In the room, on a wooden bed, the creaking sounds of turning could be heard occasionally.

Clearly, no one was asleep.

Chen Shouyi stared blankly at the ceiling, silently dazing.

Even with his exceptionally acute hearing, he couldn’t hear any artillery sounds, just dead silence!

Perhaps the God of Hunting has already been defeated, but it’s more likely that Hedong’s resistance force has completely collapsed.

Since the Barbarian God can’t stay on Earth for long, his combat style has always been blitzkrieg.

With his terrifying mobility, half a day’s time is enough to completely conquer a city and annihilate all resistance forces, especially now that air supremacy is lost, making this battle entirely without suspense.

Moreover, even if Hedong has nuclear weapons, they can’t be deployed.

Nowadays, missiles still can’t be used, nuclear bombs are dropped from airplanes at high altitude, but with the presence of that fierce bird, the planes might get shot down before reaching the target.

At this moment, the briefcase placed beside him emitted a slight sound, the zipper slowly unzipping.

Then a tiny figure quickly emerged.

She looked around, cautiously crawled to Chen Shouyi’s ear, and whispered with a grievance: "Good Giant, Little Dot is so hungry!"

Hearing the Shell Lady’s voice, Chen Shouyi quickly snapped back to reality, realizing he had forgotten to feed her.

Chen Shouyi whispered awkwardly: "Wait, I’ll get you some honey right away!"

"Brother, you’re not asleep either, who are you talking to?" Chen Xingyue asked softly.

Chen Xingyue’s sudden voice startled the Shell Lady, causing her to swiftly burrow into the blanket and hide under Chen Shouyi’s armpit, trembling with fear.

"I’m talking to myself," Chen Shouyi replied irritably.

Really meddling when it’s not wanted, scaring my precious Shell Lady.

After lying there a while, Chen Shouyi lifted the Shell Lady, took some honey and a ladle from the briefcase, got off the bed, and went to the bathroom.

He filled half a ladle with honey, mixed it with warm water, checked the temperature, and placed it in front of the Shell Lady.

"Eat up!"

"Good Giant, help Little Dot watch out so no bad giants come in!" the Shell Lady looked around the bathroom, whispered, looking tense.

"Don’t worry, I’m watching out for you, bad giants won’t come in!" Chen Shouyi comforted her.

The Shell Lady finally felt relieved, lowering her head and drinking the honey quickly, finishing it in no time:

"Little Dot is full."

Chen Shouyi lifted the Shell Lady again and lay back on the bed.

"Little Dot wants to go back in the bag." The Shell Lady requested; for her, it’s evidently safer in the bag at this time.

After settling the Shell Lady, Chen Shouyi’s eyelids grew heavier.

After getting the news, running from Dongxing City to Hedong, in just an hour, covering over two hundred kilometers, not only was his body exhausted, but he also endured tremendous mental pressure, and now he couldn’t hold on anymore, soon falling into a deep sleep.

The night was tranquil; for Hedong City, who knows how many people tossed and turned, sleepless throughout the night.
