No one wanted to die, especially Chu Yunsheng.
He had to regain control of the insect!
With his condition right now, he couldn’t get back to the city without the golden-shelled insect.
The strong living desire drove him to fight with the mysterious force once again!
One minute, the golden-shelled insect would listen to Chu Yunsheng, other minutes it would listen to the mysterious force, it was moving back and forward constantly like a headless chicken.
Time slowly passed, Chu Yunsheng’s face was already covered with sweat. He was on the verge of collapsing. The mysterious force was too strong…
“Boom!”
Chu Yunsheng lost his “consciousness” and entered that colourful tunnel once again.
The mysterious force seemed to break through the multidimensional barriers and went straight into his mind!
His consciousness started to slowly dissipate; it became more and more blurry as if someone had taken over control of his consciousness. He was desperately trying to get it back, but no matter how he tried, he could not defeat that force. Compared to “it”, his consciousness seemed to be too weak and too small.
Chu Yunsheng could feel “its” cold indifference, arrogant and overwhelming disdain towards him!
He could feel that “it” looked at him like humans looked at ants!
…..
“Commander, please issue the order. It is already 15 minutes late! The artillery and missile troops….” Qin Min urged. They would face serious charges if they delayed the time to counterattack the swarm.
“Commander Fu, please! Please! Wait for Yunsheng! Please!” Chu Han was crying out loud. When she heard someone say that Chu Yunsheng had gone to blow up the tombs, she desperately squeezed into the defence line to find out more information.
“Commander, we can’t delay it any longer!” political commissar Sun let out a long sigh.
“Who dares to give the order, I will kill you!” Yao Xiang quickly ran back from the front line. He glared at those officers in anger while pointing the sword at Qin Min and the political commissar Sun.
He was a simple man. He never had an argument with someone before. But this time, he pointed the sword at those senior officers.
“Yao Xiang, have you lost your mind? Are you threatening the military officers!?” Qin Min was shocked.
“You guys are going to break your promises! I know what kind of warheads you are going to use, Mr. Chu is still on the other side of the river, if you launch it, you think he can still survive?” Ding Yan said coldly. Behind him, there were a lot of dark warriors.
“More people will die if we delay it!” the officers argued.
“Without Mr. Chu, they are already dead!” Ding Yan said loudly.
All the officers were speechless. Yes, without Chu Yunsheng, those people at the front line probably would have been already dead.
“Stop! Wait for 5 minutes more, then…” Fu Liaoyuan said sternly.
As soon as he said it, many ear-piercing sounds suddenly arose in the sky behind the defence line. They were caused by many artillery shells traveling through the air at high speed. And those shells were heading towards the other side of the river.
“It’s CGH’s direct order!” Fu Liaoyuan murmured.
Chu Han instantly collapsed on the ground…
….
Since the dark age began, Chu Yunsheng had never stopped thinking about how he would die. He had thought that he would be starved to death, eaten by the insect, burned by fire, frozen into an ice sculpture, gunned down by other humans, or blown up by bombs… but he never once thought that his consciousness would be wiped out!
Memories flashed through his mind like a reversed movie, it was reverse-playing his entire life.
Some were precious memories, and some had almost been forgotten by him.
Until the memories about the ancient book appeared, a strange thing happened!
An overwhelming power suddenly stormed towards him from all directions. The entire tunnel was shaken by it!
Inside the colorful tunnel, Chu Yunsheng could clearly “see” that the ancient book was glowing a strange dazzling light and floating in the air. Then the ancients book started to open by itself, and the pages started to turn and it was turning faster and faster.
At the same time, all the strange symbols on the pages flew out of the book with each one of them flashing the same dazzling light.
More and more symbols started to appear, and they were arranged in a strange formation. Then there were twelve special symbols that started to become even brighter one after another,
‘Formation Completed!’
Chu Yunsheng did not know why, but those two words suddenly appeared in his mind.
The space inside the colourful tunnel was distorted, and it started to change its shape. And the stream of light inside the tunnel started to reverse!
All Chu Yunsheng’s memories and consciousness started to fly back to him at an incredible speed!
The origin of the mysterious force instantly changed its “feelings” from indifference and arrogance to doubt, shock, pains, struggle, and finally, there was even fear!
…
The stream of light continued flying towards Chu Yunsheng until he took back all the memories and consciousness. However, the stream of light was still passing something into his mind!
The “ancient book” started to help Chu Yunsheng obtain the consciousness from the origin of the mysterious force!
“…I am Mǐn…”
“Boom!”
The golden-shelled insect’s brain could no longer withstand three powerful forces fighting inside its mind; it exploded like watermelon all of the sudden.
Chu Yunsheng had regained his consciousness. He subconsciously checked the ancient book inside the storage talisman.
It was still sitting inside the storage talisman quietly.
Meanwhile,
All the insects inside the city suddenly stopped the attack at the same time!
“What happened?” said a soldier in the Southern district defence line. He was very confused when he saw the insect suddenly stopped moving.
“The insect has stopped attacking? Quick! Report it back to GCH!” a military officer in the Eastern district defence line was shocked.
“What do they want to do this time?” said a dark warrior in the Northern district defence line.
In the next moment, everyone in the city gasped in shock.
All the insects, whether it was the golden-shelled insect, the red-shelled insect or the green-shelled insect, they all turned around and faced the same direction in “panic”.
At first, the insects were quiet… then they were confused… then they whimpered with sadness, then they all suddenly started to run at their fastest speed.
They wanted to get back so desperately that they did not even care about their own lives. All the insects were pushing each other, some even jumped on top of each other, some golden-shelled insects even pushed the slow or injured red-shelled insects away to make the way for themselves. They didn’t even care if they had crushed the red-shelled insects into the minced meat when they pushed them against the walls.
Even the green-shelled insects had also completely disappeared from the central city!
All the people inside the city were looking at each other in confusion!
‘What happened?’
‘Why is the swarm so scared?’
…..
Chu Yunsheng was blown up by the shockwave. The golden-shelled insect was already dead; he could not dig into the ground to avoid the bombardment.
He just had a “mind battle”, and his body was still stiff; he could not even move properly.
He wanted to run, but he couldn’t. All he could do was to see himself being blown up into the sky by the shells, and then fell on the ground repeatedly.
Even if he had the shield and armour, the shocks made by the explosions still caused him to spit out blood.
He was trying his best to look for a shelter to calm down the energy inside his body.
There was a tomb, which was turned upside down on the ground near the bridge. Its huge body crushed so many insects underneath it when it fell to the ground.
The insects’ bodies were huge, there were so many gaps between them, so it was the best place to hide.
He was running towards the tomb while dodging the artillery shells. When he finally got to the tomb, the artillery shells started to become more frequent and more crowded.
Chu Yunsheng knew that this was just the ordinary bombardment. Soon, there would be missiles carrying the special warheads flying toward him.
At that time, no matter what kind of shields or armours he had, he would still die.
But he did not want to die; he needed to get back. He tried to calm himself down, and started to suppress and adjust the chaotic Qi circulation inside his body.
Just when he slightly recovered, he saw a red figure roaring towards him.
It instantly startled him.
The red figure was originally heading towards the bridge, but it was attacked by the green-shelled insects, so it had to turn around and head towards Chu Yunsheng.
Only until when it got close, did Chu Yunsheng realise that it was two people on a motorbike.
The bike was on fire and the riders were a woman and a man. The man was sitting at the back, however, he was already dead.
“Why are you here?” Chu Yunsheng was surprised. The woman was Lán Cháoyīn, who helped him to escape from the fog city.
“The mission was not only given to you, I was sent here by the 5th division.” She then stared at Chu Yunsheng and said, “But it looks like only you succeed in doing it!”
“The 5th division? How come I have never seen you at the front line?” Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows. The 5th division and the 9th division were defending the same place, there was no way he would miss her.
Lán Cháoyīn did not answer him; she pointed at the Jin Ling city and said, “I can fly over the river!”
“Fly over!?” Chu Yunsheng was confused about why she suddenly changed the subject.
In the next second, he realised what she was talking about. Looking at the river and then looking at her once again, ‘is she stupid!’ He couldn’t help but think.
“That’s right, fly over! I have a special combat ability – Fire Levitation, I can control the bike to fly some distance. The gap between the destroyed bridge is not too far, we can break out from there, But I am still waiting…” Lán Cháoyīn was very confident.
“What are you waiting for?” asked Chu Yunsheng.
“Missile! The one that carries the most powerful warhead, I need its shockwave to extend my flying distance!” Lán Cháoyīn took a deep breath and said.
Chu Yunsheng was speechless, ‘How ballsy is this woman! What exactly is she thinking?’
“My defence ability is very weak and my attack ability is not very strong either, so I need someone to help me. Otherwise, I can’t even get to the bridge, let alone withstanding the shockwave!” Lán Cháoyīn said while tying up her hair.
