Killing a red-shelled insect with one Yuan Qi unit seemed to be as powerful as a frost arrow, but in fact, Chu Yunsheng knew very well that using one frost arrow to freeze a red-shelled insect was just an ideal situation, it did not have any practical use.
In the previous battles, only the first frost arrow could ensure the efficiency of freezing one red-shelled insect. When other insects got close to him, he would need to use two units of Yuan Qi to kill one red-shelled insect!
Not only that, when the insects got close to him, his life would be in danger!
But it was different now. With the protection of the armor, even if he was fighting a red-shelled insect head-on, he would not be at a disadvantage! Furthermore, a single slash only needed to expend a certain amount of Essence to be effective. It was completely practical in combat.
He was confident that if he had nine units of Yuan Qi, he could kill at least eight red-shelled insects in a battle.
He carefully wiped the sword clean and stood on the roof of a twenty-story building. The joy that the armor brought him did not last long, it was washed away by the news brought by the military.
He looked at the awe-inspiring three Type-99 Main Battle Tanks slowly driving past, as well as the six Type-97 Infantry Fighting Vehicles following closely behind. The headlights of the vehicles were all switched on, and the speakers on the vehicles were continuously broadcasting the GCH's "Emergency Notice":
"…
… We call them Red-shelled insects …
… We don't care about the sacrifice, we don't care about the cost, we are trying to eliminate these strange insects that appear everywhere …
… There are a lot of insect tunnels in the city, we can't destroy them, so Red-shelled insects are constantly entering our city …
… Now, we have to announce that the situation continues to deteriorate, the number of Red-shelled insects in our city has increased again! …
… Uncontrollable! Extremely dangerous! …
After careful discussion and decision, from today onwards, the whole city will be forced to evacuate! The whole city will be forced to evacuate! …
… All the people who have heard this decision can follow the military to evacuate, the target is Jin Ling city …
… The only good news we want to tell you is, according to the analysis of the scientists, because there is a lot of unknown substances in the main city area of Jin Ling city, we haven't found any insect tunnels in the main city area. GCH has decided to build a new defense system in Jin Ling city! There, after several months of bloody battles, we have completely cleared all the red-shelled insects that entered Jin Ling city from the outer city. Currently, we are building a solid line of defense outside the main city area of Jin Ling city. We have successfully stopped the insects from invading the city many times …
The command center has decided that from the day this notice is issued, the military will hold the city for another 72 hours. The people who are willing to go to Jin Ling city to seek refuge must leave the city within 72 hours. After 72 hours, the military will be the last to leave the city.
… "
Were they finally going to give up on this place? The evacuation of more than 20 million people? Just thinking about it made Chu Yunsheng's skin crawl.
Perhaps the military couldn't hold on any longer, or perhaps the situation couldn't get any worse.
The evacuation of the whole city was probably the last explanation that the military gave to the public. It also meant that they had given up on the public. This was a disaster for Shen Cheng city, and also a disaster for the whole human race. All over the world should be trembling under the power of the insects, right? Perhaps …
Chu Yunsheng's mind was in a mess. Although he had heard this rumor for a long time, and even the first batch of people, such as the expert upstairs, had already evacuated to the military camp, but when this day really came, he didn't dare to accept it!
More than 20 million people, what kind of a huge population was it!? He couldn't even imagine it!
At that time, chaos, disorder, fighting for their lives, being chased by insects, lack of food, lack of medicine, and so on … How many people would die on this road!?
Chu Yunsheng didn't know why the so-called GCH made such a decision. Since the sun disappeared three months ago, Shen Cheng city, as one of the largest cities in the country, had received the highest level of defense deployment from GCH. It was said that in order to protect Shen Cheng city, GCH gave up many small and medium-sized cities and gathered the most elite and most powerful military forces in Eastern China to defend Shen Cheng city!
But now they were going to give up! Chu Yunsheng vaguely felt that GCH must have discovered something new. Maybe it was a new monster, or maybe it was a sudden increase in the number of insects. So GCH felt that they couldn't continue to waste their military power to defend the city anymore. Instead of losing the city sooner or later, they might as well save their current military power and strengthen the new defense system. This was the last place for human beings to live!
But these were all his guesses. No matter what, his escape route was about to begin!
Although he had the armor, Qian Bi sword, and frost arrows, these weapons were not enough to make him think that he was invincible enough to face thousands of insects alone!
Following the main force to evacuate was his only choice, and it was also the best choice. Moreover, his only relative was also in Jin Ling city.
The escape route was about to begin!
But before that, Chu Yunsheng felt that he should prepare something. He should kill some insects to store Yuan Qi, and search for some useful things for the future.
He was not naive enough to think that the road to Jin Ling city, which was more than three hundred kilometers away, would be safe and sound!
As long as he had the ancient book, the armor, and the talisman, Chu Yunsheng was confident that he would be able to reach Jin Ling city safely.
Didn't they say that the main city area of Jin Ling city had been cleared of insects? Then where was Jin Ling city? He could use Jin Ling city as a base to cultivate himself and hunt for red-shelled insects outside the city. It was better than sleeping, eating, and even going to the toilet in fear of insects appearing at any time!
'I wonder how my aunt's family is doing in Jin Ling city?' Chu Yunsheng thought worriedly. His aunt was the only family he had after his parents passed away.
Before and after the sun disappeared, he had called his aunt on and off several times, repeatedly reminding them to be careful. He even asked them to come to his home in Shen Cheng City. However, at that time, he felt that his aunt did not pay much attention to it. Instead, she advised him not to think too much about it and to hurry up and go to work. Then the communication was cut off, so Chu Yunsheng had no way to contact them.
Chu Yunsheng had been desperately cultivating Yuan Qi, not only to save his own life, but also to protect his family and friends.
The only thing he did not expect was that these insects would come so fast and so ferocious. It disrupted all of his previous plans. After the insects arrived, he could not contact them anymore.
Fortunately, the news from the military made him feel a little relieved. Jin Ling city was still there, as long as his aunt survived the insects' attack, they should be safe now. But he did not know if they still had enough food. Chu Yunsheng was very worried.
According to the ancient book, Jin Ling city's situation was the intersection of the earth and the alien space. The passage of Tian Gui was opened, but for some unknown reason, it avoided the main city area of Jin Ling city. So there was no passage inside the main city area, so the insects could only enter from the outside. This was very helpful for the military to clean up the city area.
Unlike in Shen Cheng city, there were a lot of Tiangui tunnels. After you cleared them out, they would come out again, and they would still be in the city. There were so many insects in the city. Maybe that was one of the reasons why GCH gave up the idea of eliminating them.
Chu Yunsheng calmed himself down and thought, 'I need to go back to Mingdu Garden to pack my things first, then I need to use these three days and 72 hours to collect some supplies and insects. I need to prepare for the upcoming great retreat!'
