Monster Tamer In The Apocalypse

China, 10th December 2023.

"What is the result?" A burly man asked the other man who had a very pale complexion.

Upon hearing the question from the burly man, the man who has a very pale complexion seems paler in comparison. He then calmed his mind and said helplessly.

"Ge..General Jian, we still don't get the result." After the pale man had said that, he sweated in his back as he saw the expressionless face of the man in front of him.

"This has been one year right?" The burly asked again.

"Y..Yes."

"With a lot of money and many of you doing it?

"Y..Yes." Hearing the continuous question from that man, his complexion is getting worse.

"Then, why you still don't get the result?" As the man said that, his expression suddenly became menacing.

Finally, when the man he called general asked with a menacing expression, he could not help but get goosebumps all over his body.

"Be..because it is very difficult to identify a..and we still have not found any similar characteristic on the new constituent with anything on the earth." The pale man said helplessly, lamenting what will happen to him after this.

After all, that man in front of him is Jian Chen! The air force general and vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), the organization which has jurisdiction all over the military. He is only under the president, who acted as the commander-in-chief by himself!

The man in front of him can make him disappear anytime he wants! But he was really helpless. It has been 1 year since they researched that, the change of the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere. Furthermore, It slowly is going from Exosphere to Thermosphere and predicted would reach the Troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere within 2 years from now.

Initially, Jian Chen wanted to blame them. After all, this has been 1 year! What the hell is going on over the top of the earth? Moreover, the change is continuously expanding and will get here in 2 years. He doesn't know what will happen after the atmosphere thoroughly changed. It is like something he doesn't know over his head will soon fall upon him. It always makes him feel not calm as the change keep continue expanding but yet he still doesn't know anything about it.

He was really restless and almost erupted on this scientist, but seeing the helpless look and pale complexion on his face, he can only hold down his emotion.

He sighed and said, "Just focus on the effect of the change or new constituent like you said starting from now."

"B..but NASA has researched that and stated it would not bring any changes" while hesitating he said those words to this paranoia general.

"How do you know it will not create any changes if you didn't even know about it?! You just have to do what I said with all of your ability and don't bother with the rest" Jian Chen warned him seriously.

"O..of course I will!" The scientist said timidly again after seeing the serious expression of Jian Chen. It seems all the courage he had earlier has never existed.

...

In the training ground, two people, a man and a woman are in battle. The man was on a relaxed stance while the woman had rough breathing and sweat all over her body.

The woman has a very beautiful appearance and with her serious expression, makes her seem more outstanding. She has milky white skin, dazzling-black hair, and pretty looking small mouth. With slightly tight clothes, her curves can make it hard for anyone to not stare at her. Her clear yet sharp eyes are locked on the man.

However, the situation she was in was very different. Her body was very tired and sores, she even felt it was hard to keep standing. But despite this she keeps hard to maintain her body to continue, only to make the man in front of her not disappointed to her.

"C'mon Chen Qing! Is only this all you have?!"Her brother, Chen Qiang shouted after seeing her struggling to continue.

When Chen Qing heard that, suddenly her body stopped trembling and with all the strength left, she charges at him. But alas, only a few moments later her body was on the ground while gasping.

Chen Qiang steeled his heart when he saw his sisters sprawled without strength left on the ground. He didn't have the choice anymore as the time keep shortens. He didn't know how many times he had the thought to stop all of this to his sisters when seeing this, but the unpredictable future always made him break those thoughts.

He then swiftly went and squatted near Chen Qing, he very carefully lifted her to his bosom and princess-carrying him to their home.

..

Chen Qing would never miss the dilemma expression on Chen Qiang when he saw her like this. Although it feels strange when her heart gets warm despite this situation.

Then her brother carefully lifts her after slowly swipes some soil on her face.

"I'm sorry Qing'er. You have to go through this" Her brother softly said sorry as always while carrying her to their house.

She only stares at his sincere eyes and slightly smiled at him as the reply. She then closed her eyes and leaned her head on his firm yet warm shoulder as it would always make her feel so calm after this training session.

Initially, her brother only taught some basic and went easy on her in this training session. However, after she mastered the so-called basic by her brother, he becomes more and more harsh on her to the point like this, they would not stop as long as she still could stand.

If not because her brother would always be very nice to them outside the training, she and Chen Xi probably have severed their relationships with this devil brother who make them like this just because of some illogical reason.

After they had arrived, Chen Qiang softly laid her down on the sofa. He quickly brings medical and ice boxes, then he gets down on one's knees near the foot of his sister. He rolls up her trousers above her knees, showing off her beautiful legs.

Afterward, he put her right leg on his knee. He takes some ice and wraps it with soft cotton, then he gently applies over the reddish bruise on her leg which very contrasts to her fair leg because of him. After that, he applied some vitamin K cream, pure aloe vera gel, and wrapped the bruised area on her right leg with an elastic bandage. After that, he continues to apply the wrapped ice to some faint bruises on her other leg and her hands.

Chen Qing saw her brother doing this from the start as this always made her so happy when seeing her brother with serious expression treating her. Her gaze is always at him from gently treating her legs to her hands. He also wipes her with a slightly wet towel.

"It's done Qing'er. Do you want to rest in your bedroom?" This slightly long time felt so short to her as she woke up from her thoughts when she heard his brother said with a smile while caressing her head.

She gets slightly bashful when suddenly she sees her brother's face so close. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "N-no no, I'm Just want to be here for now."

Chen Qiang only smiled upon seeing his sister's reaction, then he said to her, "By the way, this new year will be merrier as uncle Zhang And uncle Da Hongli's family Will be here with us."

"Uncle Da Hongli's family?" Chen Qing asked. She was slightly curious as to why his family will come here this new year as this was unusual. She has only met them a few times in childhood and has long been unable to see them again, almost making her forget them.

He gets amused when seeing the expected reaction from his sister, then he said while teasing, "Yes, from now on they will no longer live abroad, so we can often see them. I also wonder if sister Wei is also a beauty like you."

Chen Qing blushed when hearing her brother's words. Although she knows that her brother is only teasing her like usual, she still cannot help but feel happy about it. She doesn't know since when she feels like this. She would always feel happy when together with him if excluded when she was training with him.

Maybe it is because she spent a lot of time with him and Chen Xi this year without being bothered by many things and only doing what they like. Or because she felt like in the past when their parents were still alive. Or her brother cares for them. Or just because he always teased them.

She then only smiled at him and acted as if she were too tired to blabber with him.
