“Then, do you still recognize the road? It is all dark outside!” Chu Yunsheng said.

If this young man recognized the road, compared to him running around without a specific direction, the chance of success would be much higher.

The young man nodded his head. “Yes! Originally, we had 30 people. After we were trapped here, we made a few attempts trying to escape from there. But every time, we were pushed back by the insects. Oh! I forgot to ask you, which way did you come from?”

“From the east, but I didn’t see any insects.” Chu Yunsheng said without any hesitation.

The young man suddenly looked dejected. “The one you killed was the one lurking in the east. We were starving, so earlier on, we tried to escape from the east. But we were pushed back by the insect again, and we didn’t expect that the insect would chase us. Then you saw everything that happened next.”

Chu Yunsheng nodded his head, that was why there were half bodies outside. Perhaps it was one of the group members.

“Young man, let’s make a deal. You take me to the south where the supermarket is, and also to the bridge in the east. Once I am done, I’ll escort you to the place where the army is. How does that sound?” Chu Yunsheng needed this young man to lead the way.

“No problem, but Feifei…” The young man answered readily once he heard what Chu Yunsheng said. After what happened to the insect, and to Diao Dingguo, this young man had blind trust in Chu Yunsheng’s abilities.

Chu Yunsheng thought for a minute, then said. “Let Feifei and the others hide in the opposite building first. Let’s deal with those two insects in the south, it is much safer here.”

Inside the room, Diao Dingguo had also heard Chu Yunsheng and the rest of the people plan to leave. He pleaded hysterically for forgiveness, and begged Chu Yunsheng to take him with them. But Chu Yunsheng did not turn around.

It was still dark outside the building. Lights flashed in the dark from places far away from time to time. People could barely walk without b.u.mping into a wall. With the help of night vision goggles, Chu Yunsheng quickly crossed the street with the group of five people. He helped to hide the two men and two women on the third floor of a building on the opposite street.

In order to show his sincerity, Chu Yunsheng took out three pieces of bread, and said. “These two pieces are to be shared between you four people. Young man, this third piece is just for you. I, Chu Yunsheng, is not some great man, but I am a man of my word. As long as you help me, I will escort you to the military camp.”

Chu Yunsheng gave out his name, but right now, these people’s interests were clearly not in his name. They were starving for a long time. When they saw the fragrant bread appear in front of them, they were like a man who had not seen a woman for decades, and the bread was like a naked woman. Those evil eyes would make people feel that if it weren’t for the fact that they were afraid of Chu Yunsheng’s anomalous power, they would have probably started to grab it already.

Chu Yunsheng was surprised to find out that, when the young man took the bread, he did not eat it straight away. He carefully placed it in the gap between his chest and clothes.

Though Chu Yunsheng could see that the young man’s hunger was not much less than the others, and his thyroid moved as he swallowed his saliva.

The young man was very happy after hiding the bread. “Brother Chu,” the young man said, “my name is Zhang Han. You can just call me ‘Xiao'(1) Han. Are we going right now?”

Chu Yunsheng asked, “You are not hungry? Don’t you want to eat something before we leave?”

The boy patted the area where he hid the bread, smiled, and said, “As long as I keep it here, I am half full!”

“Well, let’s go then!” Chu Yunsheng did not bother to ask him again. He was more concerned about the speed of his Yuan Qi cultivation.

With Zhang Han leading the way, plus Chu Yunsheng’s night vision goggles, two people soon approached Hualian supermarket.

Through the night vision goggles, it was clear that a red-sh.e.l.led insect was wandering on the street, and another one was quietly lurking in the supermarket inside.

But all of sudden, Chu Yunsheng felt his heart beating very hard and very fast. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this area suddenly fluctuated a little bit, but soon returned to normal. He looked around, but did not find any problem, so he did not pay much attention to the strange feeling. This was a great chance, and he didn’t really want to waste it.

Zhang Han was arranged to stay in a small building on the side. And Chu Yunsheng himself was leaning against the wall, slowly moving close to the supermarket.

Silently, an arrow emerged in the corner in the darkness. It was aimed at the Red-sh.e.l.led insect that was slowly wandering around outside the supermarket.

Whoos.h.!.+

The crossbow shot out the frost arrow straight away. The high-speed moving arrow made a sharp scream when piercing through the air. It was like the Grim Reaper’s scythe locking on the red-sh.e.l.led insect!

The red-sh.e.l.led insect did what it could do the most in this short amount of time, and spat out corrosive saliva towards the frost arrow.

But Chu Yunsheng’s arrow was too fast. With the help of talisman and Yuan Qi, the frost arrow split the corrosive saliva in half, and froze the whole red-sh.e.l.led insect and its saliva.

Could it be that the frost arrow was much more powerful now? Chu Yunsheng thought.

Inside Hualian supermarket there was another insect. It seemed that the insect inside the store was not moving even after hearing everything happening outside.

‘This sneaky b.a.s.t.a.r.d!’ If it wasn’t coming out, he had to go in!

He quickly used the long sword to finish the insect frozen outside, and then stored it in his storage talisman. He did not have time to use an absorption talisman to absorb the insect’s Yuan Qi, because the one inside the supermarket could come out at any time!

As soon as he got inside the supermarket, one shadow appeared in his night vision goggles.

Wait, no, two… THREE! There were three insects hiding in the market! And they were coming from all three different directions towards Chu Yunsheng at the moment.

He was surrounded!

Chu Yunsheng was scared to death.

Three insects! With his level of shooting skill, and looking at the current situation, he would definitely end up fighting with the red-sh.e.l.led insects in close range.

But he didn’t know any powerful close combat techniques. Even the basic sword fighting techniques required him to be at Yuan Tian stage two.

If there was one insect, he could use the energy s.h.i.+eld talisman and the long sword, and then he might be able to kill it. But now he was attacked by three red-sh.e.l.led insects at the same time. He didn’t have any chance of winning!

‘Calm down! I have to calm myself down! There is definitely a way!’

Looking at three red-sh.e.l.led insects slowly approaching in the darkness, Chu Yunsheng knew that he had to make a decision now! Otherwise, once the insects got into the attack range, their speed would be beyond anything anyone could imagine!

The exit had been blocked by one of the insects, so he could only slowly retreat to another direction, trying to find another way to escape.

But soon his back was against the wall, and he found that there was no way out.

Chu Yunsheng has never fallen into such a dangerous situation! He finally developed a strong desire to survive and began to let out uncontrollable growls!

Since he had no more s.p.a.ce to retreat further, and there was no way out then: let’s fight! Let’s fight until I die!

As adrenaline rushed into his brain, Chu Yunsheng’s determination was as firm as steel. He stepped his left foot forward with his body turned right, and the crossbow held steadily on his arm. The cold arrowhead that carried his death wish was pointed at the red-sh.e.l.led insect that was coming from the exit!

“Whoosh.”

As the arrow was fired three red-sh.e.l.led insects increased their speed at almost the same time.

Chu Yunsheng knew that, no matter what the result was, he would still need to fight with at least two insects in close range, so had to rely on energy s.h.i.+eld’s protection to protect him from their attacks!

The frost arrow directly hit the red-sh.e.l.led insect in the center of its body. At the same time, the attacks from the other two insects arrived, aiming toward his back and his left shoulder.

They did not use claws, nor corrosive saliva, they simply used their razor-sharp legs, combined with their weight, and slumped their bodies directly onto Chu Yunsheng from mid-air!

Chu Yunsheng felt sharp pain, as if his heart was tearing apart, and the bones had been pierced through. The pain spread from the back to all the nerves across his body.

The red-sh.e.l.led insects’ attacks did not break the energy s.h.i.+eld, but the force of the impact caused Chu Yunsheng to have a serious injury.

The impact force made Chu Yunsheng tumble all the way towards the door.

With just one step, he could get out of this supermarket, but he didn’t do it. If he left his back to two red-sh.e.l.led insects, he would be dead for sure, because he knew that his running speed couldn’t compete with the insects’.

The energy s.h.i.+eld could barely stop the red-sh.e.l.led insects’ attacks at the moment. Moreover, Chu Yunsheng felt that the energy s.h.i.+eld began to crack! It probably could only stop one more insects’ combination attack!

He had to kill another insect. His energy s.h.i.+eld could probably last for a while if he was handling just one insect. He definitely could not let them attack at the same time again!

There was no time to reload the crossbow, he threw it away when he was tumbling on the ground.

It was the moment between life and death. The desire to live has evoked all the potential that he never had before!

While tumbling, he endured the pain in his body and pulled out the pistol. And to stop himself from tumbling on the ground any longer, he quickly stepped on the door frame. Instantly his body was stopped firmly on the ground, and then, he started to shoot the insect nearest to him frantically!

The gun was enchanted with the fire elemental energy, and it was as powerful as the crossbow. The only difference was that red-sh.e.l.led insects also had the fire elemental energy, so it was less effective than the crossbow.

But Chu Yunsheng did not care about it. He just kept shooting the monster.

The bullets carried the fire elemental energy; burning brightly in the air. They were like beautiful flame flowers blooming on the red-sh.e.l.led insect, on the market’s shelves, and on the wall at the back.

Life or death, it all depended on if he could kill this insect!
