Chu Yunsheng was so excited that he almost couldn't sleep. Finally, he didn't have to wait for another two years to enter Yuan Tian stage two. His goal now was to kill at least two hundred and forty-three red-shelled insects!
He needed to walk out of the room, walk into the dark, and look for those lone red-shelled insects, kill them, and absorb their Yuan Qi!
Chu Yunsheng equipped himself with a new absorption talisman, a pistol, a collapsible crossbow and arrows, and a long sword that he had prepared in the age of light. He sealed the Divine Weapon Talisman on it for close-range combat.
In addition, Chu Yunsheng was still worried, so he made an energy shield talisman to increase his stamina and defense. By the time he finished all these, it had already been more than ten days.
It was not difficult to find red-shelled insects. From time to time, he would hear horrifying screams from afar, and the sound of the army's guns. All of these indicated that there were red-shelled insects there.
With Chu Yunsheng's current ability, it was best to sneak attack those lone red-shelled insects. If there was a swarm of insects, he would have to run away!
He rejected the idea of going to the areas where the army and the insects were fighting. Those areas were dangerous areas where swarms of insects would appear. Besides, the method he used to absorb Yuan Qi using talismans was very strange to humans. He didn't want to be taken away by the army for investigation like the ice fist man.
His current goal was to find one or two lone red-shelled insects. He didn't want to fight even three red-shelled insects. If the energy shield talisman couldn't stop the insects' fierce attacks and corrosive saliva, it would be too late for him to regret it.
In the past ten days, the other people in the building had been living a hard life. The food was getting less and less, which forced people to discuss whether they should evacuate or stay until the army took control of the city. They often argued about this.
When Chu Yunsheng walked out of the residential area, many people sighed slightly, but no one came to ask him about it. These days, many people couldn't stand it anymore, so they secretly went out to try their luck and get some food. But most of them never came back after they went out. Chu Yunsheng was also classified as this kind of person.
He found a remote corner and took out the motorcycle that was prepared in the age of light from the storage talisman. The brand was very popular, so it would be easy to find parts in the future.
Putting on the black fourth-generation night vision goggles and the matching helmet that he bought at a high price, Chu Yunsheng stepped on the gas pedal and sneaked towards the nearest scream.
Shen City is shrouded in darkness. It is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Occasionally, the lights of cars passing by are like ghost fires in the dead city. The surrounding quiet and dark high-rise buildings are like man-eating monsters.
When Chu Yunsheng arrived at the place where the scream came from, he only saw a headless half body. The empty head was under an electric pole not far away, and the internal organs and blood were all over the ground. It was really disgusting to see it.
The red-shelled insect should not have gone far. Chu Yunsheng took back the motorcycle, held the crossbow, and sneaked along the wall of the building towards another street.
The night vision device was a high-performance product of the fourth generation of low-light "filmless door technology" that was smuggled from abroad at a high price. This kind of product was a controlled product in the country, and the control was very strict.
In order to cope with the complete darkness of the Age of Darkness, he also equipped himself with an infrared radiation source. Because the insects, perhaps because of their protective shield, could not emit infrared radiation at all, he had to rely on the reflection of the surrounding light to detect them. However, if it was a completely dark area, an active infrared radiation source would become a necessary equipment to detect the insects.
After turning a corner, and then turning another corner, except for a few panicked people, he did not see even a single red-shelled insect. Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt a chill down his spine. 'Probably now, I am the only person in the world who wants to see insects!'
Just when he was about to leave this area, a shrill scream came from the opposite building, and then he heard a series of panicked screams. Chu Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly sneaked over. He vaguely saw a big hole on the window of the second floor. He did not know what was going on inside, but the infrared imaging showed that there were a few shadows moving about five or six floors up. Because of the wall, it was not very clear.
Chu Yunsheng focused his mind, and with the help of the energy shield talisman, he climbed up the hole on the second floor using the protruding part of the wall, and then went in.
He was very careful along the way. Because there were too many walls, he did not know how many insects there were, so he had to be careful.
Screams came one after another, even mixed with crying, in the quiet night, it was very ear-piercing!
Chu Yunsheng followed the sound all the way to the fifth floor. At this time, he could already clearly see about six people and one red-shelled insect. There were two or three bodies on the ground. The red-shelled insect was probably not in a hurry to kill all these people. It probably already regarded these people as its prey, so it was slowly sucking a human brain.
The few people who were forced to the corner of the wall were curled up together, and from time to time, they let out desperate screams. The night vision device could not see their expressions clearly through the wall, but Chu Yunsheng absolutely believed that these people must be full of panic, just like the first time he encountered an insect.
The red-shelled insect shook off the human brain that it had sucked dry, and its eyes unscrupulously swept across the six people's bodies, as if it was looking for a more delicious human brain.
The six people also instantly understood the intention of the red-shelled insect, and they all stopped screaming at the same time. No one wanted to be the first to die. What if this disgusting insect was full, and then it might just leave.
The red-shelled insect's greedy eyes soon stopped on a girl with a delicate face. The girl who was stared at by the red-shelled insect suddenly felt like she had fallen into hell. Despair, fear, panic, and so on instantly exploded. She cried and hugged a middle-aged man's arm, and said loudly, "No, no, not me, not me! … "
The people around her all had a complicated and contradictory expression on their faces. They were both sympathetic and glad that it was not them.
She looked at the middle-aged man with a last glimmer of hope, but to her despair, she found that the man who had promised her so many things was avoiding her eyes. He even forcefully pulled his arm out from her tight embrace!
She was desperate. At that moment, she finally realized that she was going to die, and her heart was like dead ashes.
The red-shelled insect crawled over, and she closed her eyes.
Suddenly, she realized that she had been pushed away. A figure shrouded her from behind. She opened her eyes and saw that it was a young boy. The boy who had once said that he liked her, the boy who had been coldly rejected by her. At this moment, he turned around and smiled at her. Under the dim light of the flashlight, that smile seemed so sad and moving!
Tears quietly flowed down her delicate face, as if the whole world had stopped at this moment.
However, the red-shelled insect did not stop. It did not care about this kind of childish behavior. Since someone was willing to die first, it was not in a hurry.
The boy resolutely looked at the scarlet bloody mouth that was approaching him. He tightly held the girl's hand, and death was close at hand.
Everyone looked at the boy in shock. Some were touched, some thought that he was stupid, but without exception, they all thought that the boy was already a dead man!
Surprisingly, the red-shelled insect's bloody mouth did not bite down. Instead, it quickly turned around in panic. Then, a sharp arrow that emitted an astonishing cold air pierced through the red-shelled insect's protective shield and fiercely pierced into the insect's body!
The red-shelled insect did not even have time to scream. It was immediately surrounded by the cold air and quickly turned into an ice sculpture!
Everything was so sudden and so strange! Even the red-shelled insect was still in the posture of turning around!
The six people could not think for a moment! This scene was completely beyond their understanding!
Following the direction of the arrow, a man wearing a gray coat and a strange helmet was looking at them with a crossbow in his hand!
