There were several buses following behind the truck. The bus that was the most heavily guarded was naturally carrying the relatives and friends of the escort team. Not only was there a heavy machine gun fixed on the roof of the bus, but there were also two members of the escort team standing guard in shifts. The outer shell of the bus was reinforced with steel bars.
The bus could normally carry more than fifty people, and each person had two to three spots. The limit was to kill three insects. Those with high ability could get three spots, and those with low ability could only get two spots. This was the rule set by their captain. No one dared to disobey it. If they wanted to get three spots, then they had to work hard to improve their ability.
It was said that this rule was set because of the extreme lack of protection, food, fuel, and other materials. Secondly, this escort team was mainly made up of students from other places. They didn't have a lot of relatives, and most of them were just male and female friends.
The military provided weapons support, and the school provided food support in exchange for the escort team's combat ability. Therefore, this bus was not only heavily guarded, but also had a stable food supply. It became a paradise in the hearts of all the students and teachers in the school. On this moving fortress, there was safety, warmth, and most importantly, there was a stable supply of food and water.
Before they joined, the escort team had 14 members. There were 8 male members and 6 female members. Only 5 of them had three spots, including their captain. The rest of them all had two spots.
These few spots were coveted by everyone. Some of them were roommates who wanted to get close to them, some were girls who did not hesitate to exchange their bodies for the spots, and some were handsome boys who crazily pursued the female members of the escort team. What was even more special was that those people who had already obtained the qualification to ride on this bus were all flattered by the people outside, just because these people would be allocated food twice a day.
In addition to this bus, which was called Bus No. 1, there were several other buses following behind it. Naturally, they became the second-best choice for others. However, only those who had relations with the school or the military could ride on them.
Chu Yunsheng and Yu Xiaohai could get five spots in total, but they had to pass the strict assessment of their captain. Only after confirming their authenticity could they use this bus. Lin Shuiyao could only stay with him for the time being.
At this time, their captains were taking turns on the roof of Bus No.1. Zhang Zicheng took advantage of this time to gather the newbies and give them some simple explanations, mainly about the rights and duties of the escorts.
The most important thing was to remind all awakened warriors that they did not need to kill all the red-shelled insects, they only needed to destroy the insects' defense layer, and the rest would be taken care of by the military's firearms. This greatly increased the number of red-shelled insects that the defense team could deal with at the same time.
Chu Yunsheng was still leaning on the railing, smoking a cigarette. He was bored listening to Qin Heng bragging about how to make their captain beat him up and expose him, as if he was a complete liar.
He was too lazy to be angry with him. In a bit, their captain would come and prove his power. He wanted to see what Qin Heng and the others could say.
Chu Yunsheng turned around and looked outside. The cars were mixed in the crowd, so they were actually moving very slowly. Sometimes, he couldn't even feel that they were moving forward. There was no other way. The road out of the city was crowded with people who were trying to escape. They didn't care about the dead bodies on the road and the stinky excrement left by the people in front of them.
There were people shouting everywhere, some were calling names, some were crying, some were even stealing other people's backpacks, but most of them were just following the people in front of them in a panic.
If they accidentally fell down and didn't get up in time, they would be trampled to death. At this time, it seemed like no one cared whether the thing under their feet was a dead body or a living person.
Chu Yunsheng saw that a little further away, there were many people climbing on the roof of some private cars that did not have any weapons. Some people even smashed the windows of other cars and got in. It was totally chaotic.
The defense team's situation was much better. No one dared to get too close to their vehicles in front of the awakened warriors and the muzzles of the guns.
A series of explosions attracted Chu Yunsheng's attention. He looked far behind him. There, the main force of the insects was fighting fiercely with the defense team.
The fierce explosion of the howitzer spread out in the dark world, shooting in all directions. The earth trembled, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking.
The self-propelled rocket launchers left a trail of death light behind them. Like a rain of bullets, half of the sky was lit up by the fire.
The sound of the explosions and the whistling sound of the shells were powerful and fierce.
Chu Yunsheng was shocked to see the powerful force of the defense team. Other than the TV, this was the first time he saw such a powerful bombardment. It was as if it was going to destroy everything in the world!
This was based on the premise that the defense team had not used the ultimate weapons such as missiles, nuclear weapons, and so on. He suddenly remembered that human beings could also destroy this earth!
He didn't dare to imagine whether the president of the country on the other side of the earth, who had countless nuclear bombs, had already pressed the button to launch nuclear weapons!
Since the beginning of the dark age, Chu Yunsheng had always thought that he was always facing the front line of the battle against the red-shelled insects. But now he realized that it seemed to be a little bit wrong.
At this time, he didn't even need to think to know that the fierce bombardment of the defense team meant that they were facing a huge number of insects!
That was the real front line of the war between human beings and the insects!
However, even with such a powerful force, the military command center still had no choice but to retreat. Chu Yunsheng's heart was trembling. How many terrifying monsters did the military see that made them so scared?
Could it be that only by reaching Jin Ling city could they be truly safe? Could Jin Ling city really withstand the attack of the insects that he could not even imagine?
Chu Yunsheng didn't know how to answer himself. Apart from practicing cultivation, he and the people under the vehicle were actually thinking the same thing. That was to escape to Jin Ling city. Maybe they would be safe there.
The news from Jin Ling city was the only thing that supported all the people who were escaping. It was the last pillar of support in everyone's mind. He was sure that if there was an authoritative news that Jin Ling city was finished, everyone here, including him, would fall into a state of endless panic, until they collapsed.
Or in other words, Jin Ling city was their only hope. No matter whether they could reach it or not, everyone had the same hope in their heart: if they could reach it, they might be able to survive!
In fact, there was a rumor that Jin Ling city was also destroyed a long time ago. But because it was not the authoritative news from the military, no one wanted to believe it. Because it was everyone's last hope.
Chu Yunsheng looked at the endless crowd of people. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. If Jin Ling city was destroyed, where would his last hope be? Would he be a fugitive from now on, or would he surrender to the insects?
"I still have Yuan Qi, I can still practice cultivation!" Chu Yunsheng said to himself, "even if I have to run for my life, I have to hold on."
His father once told him that no matter how dark the clouds were, they would eventually pass. Never give up. Otherwise, you would never see the sun break through the clouds.
Chu Yunsheng's thoughts drifted further and further away. Suddenly, the sound of someone boarding the vehicle pulled him back to reality. The captain of the escort team was here!
