Chapter 26

Translator: Doggotranslation  Editor: Doggotranslation

On the way back to his flat, Chu Yunsheng had seen many groups of people that were too nervous to stay together. The faintest sign of danger would cause them to blindly run everywhere. It was simply pure chaos. He had also encountered two insects, but he killed them very swiftly.

Holding lit torches, many people had gathered together In front of Building No.8. Ms. Zhang from the neighborhood committee and a man from the tenth floor were standing on top of a Volkswagen Passat.

Chu Yunsheng deactivated his armor as he walked near them. Soon, he heard the tenth-floor neighbor shout, “Everyone! Do not panic! Kids, elders and women walk in the middle. Men walk at the front and the back. Please take any weapons, any food, water or any other valuables that you have stored in your homes! Anyone who still has petrol in their cars and would like to leave with us, please follow us. If you do not want to, please say it now! We hope that everyone can work together, only when we stay together, will there be hope!”

“Sun Darui! I agree, we should act together!”

“As long as we can keep our kids safe, we will do anything!”

“Me too, fuck it! At the worst, let’s die with the insect!”

Everyone was talking all at once, only a few people had different opinions, but most of them agreed with Sun Darui.

Chu Yunsheng guessed that other people might have considered him as an adult male, so they had also asked him to join the group. But Chu Yunsheng had his own plan, so he lied and said that he had joined another group already. He just came back to get his stuff.

He actually did not really have much stuff to take, only some daily necessities. So it didn’t take him very long to pack up all the stuff he needed.

Before he left the flats, Chu Yunsheng’s mind was filled with strong emotions. In this room, he successfully sensed Yuan Qi for the first time, successfully made the first talisman, killed the first insect and built the first armor and sword… So many first times, it seemed as if this room was his starting point for the dark age!

Moreover, he seemed to have a strange feeling that, one day he would return to this room again.

This feeling was so strange and inexplicable that he didn’t know why he would suddenly feel this way. Unable to figure it out, in the end, he just shook his head, stepped out of Building No.8 and started this unknown journey.

Chu Yunsheng’s first target was a medium-sized Jiadeli supermarket, since by now, most of the supermarkets or convenience stores had already been searched countless times by those hungry people. Only those places that always had a large number of insects wandering around, still have some stuff left.

On the way to the supermarket, he thought about the decisions he had made in the past. Since the dark age began, he was always thinking about the insect, and thinking about how to increase his strength. The food he had gathered during the age of light was still enough for him to eat, that was why he had not considered food as his first priority in the past. In retrospect, he realized he should have taken more supplies. They were free, after all.

But regret would not change anything. Although most of the supermarkets and convenience stores had been plundered, he still knew some places that no one dared to get close to. Those places were accidentally discovered by him while he was looking for single red-shelled insects.

This Jiadeli Supermarket was located at a crossroads. When Chu Yunsheng first came to this place, he noticed that there were a total of four insects. At that time, he could not do anything to them but run away, but now it was a good place to start.

Although there were four of them, he still did not dare to let his guard down. After activating his armor, he began to secretly approach the target location as usual. Sometimes he even thought that because he had been psychologically traumatized by the ruthless insects, so this habit gradually became his subconscious behavior.

After arriving at the supermarket, he discovered that the number of insects had increased. Now there were a total of five insects. Because of this, he temporarily paused his plan and calculated for a long time. He believed that without any accidents, he should be able to kill them all.

He was very excited after he had thought it over. Thinking about how he ran away from insects before and how he was really going to fight with those five insects now, how could he not be excited?

Not long ago, he had killed four insects, which had helped him to restore nine units of Yuan Qi. With these nine units of Yuan Qi, although he needed to be careful, he was confident.

From the back of the supermarket, he first lurked into a six-stories high old resident building opposite the supermarket, and then hid on the first floor behind a security door, which directly faced the supermarket, but was slightly obscured to the three insects outside the supermarket.

The crossbow was positioned, and the arrows were ready to go!

—Woosh!—

With one unit of Yuan Qi, the Frost Arrow successfully froze one insect. The other two immediately noticed him and rushed towards him. The insect’s fast reaction time never cease to amaze him.

The security door only managed to block the insects for a few seconds, but it was enough for Chu Yunsheng to reload another arrow. Nearly pressing against its belly, he fired the arrow again.

At this moment, the other two also came out of the supermarket as well. However, Chu Yunsheng did not choose this place randomly. He deliberately picked the place near the stairway. It was already narrow, to begin with, but now with one frozen red-shelled insect blocking the way, the remaining space was barely enough for one insect to fit through.

The third insect immediately used its claw to pinch him. It swung the claw left and right, dragging him out of the door, as the rest also jumped over. ‘I need to stop this one immediately!’ Chu Yunsheng thought!

Because of his armor, he did not feel any pain from that claw attack, even though he was pinched, he was still able to maintain a normal physical condition.

“Schwing!” Qian Bi Sword was drawn. Identical to when he tied himself to the wardrobe, he burst out with a short hiss, and infused one unit of Yuan Qi into the sword. He first struck out with a hack, and then a slice, one after another. In a single breath, he had cut off the insect’s head!

Wiggling his body, he fell onto the ground, dodging one of the insect’s feet. He then turned around quickly, and took the opportunity that the insect was still in the air and attacked with an upward flick. The sword instantly stabbed straight into its belly. But he didn’t stop there, while the blade was still inside the insect’s body, he pushed the sword downward to cut across the insect’s entire belly. The insect immediately fell to the ground, and screamed in pain. It was only able to struggle for a few seconds on the ground before it died completely.

At the same time, the last insect’s attack also arrived. It seemed to know that claws wouldn’t work on this strange human anymore, so it only picked Chu Yunsheng up and threw him away, then it spat out the corrosive liquid at him.

Chu Yunsheng was smashed onto the top of a car, but he was not injured. While he felt a little concussed, the corrosive saliva did not have any damage on the armor.

However, this last insect did not run towards him like he had expected. Instead, it suddenly raised its head to face the sky and started making a very loud high-pitched noise.

“Oh, no…”

Chu Yunsheng had heard of this kind of noise before, it was the signal for calling other insects!

He could not let it continue screeching, the combat with four insects had already consumed four units of his Yuan Qi. He now only had five units of Yuan Qi left. If more insects appeared, once he ran out of Yuan Qi, even if he had the armour to protect him, he would still be dead for sure!

Chu Yunsheng knew he needed to end this quickly, so he did not dare to delay it any longer. As his hand clenched the sword, he jumped towards the insect, and once again filled the sword with Yuan Qi.

He used all his strength to bring down the sword while the insect was still screaming, the force of Qian Bi Sword instantly split the insect into half.

Guessing that the signal had probably already been sent out, and it would just be a matter of time until the insects swarmed here, he immediately stored the five insects’ bodies into a storage talisman, and then rushed into the supermarket. Inside the supermarket, he used the storage talisman to store anything he could see. At this moment he did not really have time to check if they were useful or not. He just took whatever he could.

After he swept through the entire supermarket, he quickly ran out the market and ran along the street. He did not dare to ride a noisy motorbike. He was worried that insects would notice the noise and start to chase him.

He never knew that he could run so fast. He felt that even if his opponent was Usain Bolt, he would be able to defeat him easily.

Chu Yunsheng ran past dark street one after another. He didn’t dare to stop. Only after he felt that he couldn’t run anything did he finally stop running, and lean against a building panting.

However, it was at this moment, he heard the sounds of artillery and machine guns firing from less than two hundred meters ahead of him. He immediately adjusted the night vision goggles to take a closer look. What he saw almost scared him to death

Fortunately, he had decided to stop here for a rest, what he spotted was a group of at least 30 red-shelled insects attacking the Military Armoured Unit.

There were dangers before him and behind him. It caused Chu Yunsheng to panic. There was no way he should stay here, but he did not know how to get out of this place. He simply ran into a building next to him, which used to be a luxurious hotel.

According to his past experiences, insects were not likely to climb to the roof of some tall buildings.

Running up to the roof of a thirty-story high building was no longer a difficult thing for Chu Yunsheng, moreover, with the pressure of death, he ran up to the roof even faster.

However, when he got to the roof, he noticed that there were already other people here. With a wry smile on his face, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but think, ‘so it looks like I’m not the only one who knows about the insect’s strange habit.’

At this time, the military suddenly fired the flares. It instantly exposed Chu Yunsheng’s flashy armour in everyone’s sights. To be honest, it would be very hard not to notice someone, who dressed like this.

But Chu Yunsheng also found that this group of people did not seem right. There were about a dozen men holding a variety of weapons and standing on the side of some people that were lying on the ground. On occasion, those men would kick the people, who attempted to move.

Thugs? This was Chu Yunsheng’s first reaction, he had met these kinds of people before. Just like those people, who he had seen inside the luxury restaurant.
