"Ah!"
A horrible scream interrupted Chu Yunsheng's thoughts. The sound came from the darkness on the right side of the team. It was a little far from the position of Chu Yunsheng and the others, but it was very harsh in the silent night. It was clearly the scream before death.
"Old Feng, go and see what's going on."
Chu Yunsheng turned around and ordered Feng Yingxi. Judging from the fluctuation of Yuan Qi, it was probably only one or two red-shelled insects. Feng Yingxi now had thirteen awakeners under his command. If they couldn't even deal with one or two red-shelled insects, they would not be able to go far in the dark wilderness.
Feng Yingxi knew that Chu Yunsheng was very strict with the awakeners, so he didn't say anything and just left. Yu Jian volunteered to help. Although they were not very useful, at least they had a few guns.
"Squad leader Luo, I have a task for you." Chu Yunsheng looked ahead with a helpless expression.
"Go ahead." Luo Dalian stepped forward with an assault rifle in his arms.
In the beginning, there were only six or seven people, but after gathering at the train station, Luo Dalian now had a total of fifteen surviving stragglers. Most of them were from the original Xuzhou Infantry Brigade. Most of their immediate family members had been transferred to Shanghai before the darkness fell, so they had nowhere else to go. They just wanted to return to Shanghai and reunite with their families as soon as possible.
This was also one of the reasons why they were willing to follow Chu Yunsheng.
"There is still a long way to go to Shanghai. In the dark, anything can happen. There will be many unexpected situations like the one just now. You are soldiers. Unlike Feng Yingxi and the others, you should not panic and run around when you encounter something. The most important thing is to stabilize the formation. If you panic first, no matter who the enemy is and where they are, you will eventually collapse without a fight."
Chu Yunsheng had seen too many examples of self-defeat without a fight. Sometimes, just a single insect coming out of the dark could make a group of awakened people collapse without a fight. Originally, they had more than 80% chance of winning the encounter, but it turned into a farce of scattering and fleeing in all directions.
Luo Dalian understood what Chu Yunsheng was referring to, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, "We were indeed a bit panicked just now."
"It's not all your fault. I didn't tell you in advance." Chu Yunsheng said seriously: "So now I have a task to ask you and your comrades. In the following period of time, no matter what happens, what you encounter, or where I go, you can't panic. Protect Gai Yi Ya for me. You must send her safely to Shanghai. If I don't catch up, don't hand her over to the military or the government. Find a place to settle down first, understand?"
"Understood! Mr. Chu, without you, we wouldn't have been able to come here alive. Don't worry, we will protect her even if we have to risk our lives. "Luo Dalian held the gun tightly and said.
"Forget about risking your life. No one's life is more precious than anyone else's. I've heard these words many times, but they don't count." Chu Yunsheng's eyes looked at the chaotic group, which was incompatible with his young face. In the end, he murmured to someone, "Maybe, she is the only hope for you to survive …"
Luo Dalian smiled awkwardly. Although Chu Yunsheng's words were very explicit, they went straight to the heart. If Chu Yunsheng was not there, and they were in a life-and-death situation, would he use his precious life to protect people who had nothing to do with him just because of a verbal promise? He didn't know, because it didn't happen, so he didn't know.
The sound of fighting in front of them was getting more and more fierce. The fierce gunshots and the hissing of insects drifted along the cold air, and a faint smell of blood could be smelled.
"Let's go, it's time to go and see. If we don't go now, I'm afraid people will die again."
Chu Yunsheng estimated that Feng Yingxi and others didn't have the experience of dealing with insects, so they were probably already at a disadvantage. If he didn't go now, the awakeners who were getting more and more afraid would immediately scatter and flee for their lives.
The red-shelled insect, which had a palm-sized black line on its back, was also following him. It seemed like it would follow him wherever he went, and it didn't have any intention of leaving.
Chu Yunsheng also had a headache dealing with it. The red-shelled insect was not a Min, nor was it Shang. He couldn't communicate with it. It should have been a very good mount, but because it didn't understand the command, it could only become a follower.
One person, one insect, plus Luo Dalian and others soon came to the battlefield on the right side of the team. The survivors around them had already run away, leaving only two bloody bodies and Feng Yingxi and others who were shouting and fighting hard.
Sometimes, in the face of fear, shouting loudly was also a kind of courage, giving people the courage to face the desperate situation.
It was said to be a battlefield, but in fact, it was just a field. The crops inside had already withered. There was a person who awakened fire elemental energy jumping around and setting fire everywhere, making the dried orange stems crackle cheerfully, and it seemed that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, but it didn't have any substantial effect.
But this was still good, at least it could slightly interfere with the red-shelled insects. The other person who awakened ice elemental energy really showed Chu Yunsheng what was called messing around. The person in front was setting fire, so he followed behind to put out the fire. Occasionally, he even threw the ice into the crowd of his own people, causing Feng Yingxi to curse loudly. But it didn't help, this person was not fighting at all, he was completely destroying things.
There were only four or five people who really posed a threat to the two red-shelled insects. Led by Boss Feng, they "put out the fire" from both sides, barely keeping this team of awakeners from being destroyed by the insects.
Yu Jian and other special police officers, who originally thought that they were just here to help, played an unexpected role. They moved outside the circle, kept a certain safe distance, and fiercely shot the red-shelled insects' eyes, mouth, and important moving joints with accurate shooting skills. The whole team was well-trained, had a clear division of labor, and cooperated seamlessly, causing a lot of trouble to the two red-shelled insects.
It seemed that the reason they could survive in the dark wilderness until now was not because of luck, but because of their stronger adaptability and fighting ability.
As soon as Chu Yunsheng appeared on the battlefield, the situation of the battle immediately changed dramatically.
Another insect rushed out from the depths of the darkness. Its speed was very fast, like a galloping horse. It should be running at its limit at full speed. It may have noticed the movement here, or it may have other reasons. At the same time it appeared, Chu Yunsheng also noticed it, and the black-ridged insect behind him also noticed it.
Then, to everyone's surprise, the red-shelled insect that was rushing towards Chu Yunsheng directly ignored the people who were dancing in the field, the firemen, and the other beginners. On the way, it collided with the black-ridged red-shelled insect. Immediately after, the two red-shelled insects began to fight fiercely. Everyone was stunned by the scene!
Not only were they stunned, but the other two red-shelled insects were also stunned. They blankly watched their two companions, who appeared out of nowhere, kill each other without hesitation.
The original battlefield suddenly cooled down, and the new battlefield gradually became bloody. The two insects seemed to have some kind of blood feud, and the intensity of the fight instantly escalated to the point of life and death. Even Chu Yunsheng didn't have time to react.
They bit each other's body, and a pair of terrifying big pincers were constantly trying to break each other's thighs. The corrosive mucus they spat out was everywhere, and when it fell on the ground, it sizzled and emitted hot white smoke.
At the same time, they were also constantly hissing, hissing one after another, each hissing was more ear-piercing than the other, as if they were conveying some kind of message. Looking at the two insects that were still in a daze before, they wanted to attack Chu Yunsheng in the hissing sound of the red-shelled insect, and then they stopped in a daze when they heard the hissing sound of the black-ridged red-shelled insect. After going back and forth like this, they finally got annoyed and simply ignored everyone and continued to attack their old opponents – Feng Yingxi and others.
The hissing sound was getting higher and sharper, flying through the dark field and deeper into the darkness.
Chu Yunsheng suddenly understood something. He immediately took out the strong bow, endured the pain of his injury, and released two frost arrows in succession, killing the two red-shelled insects that attacked Feng Yingxi and others one by one. Then he raised the sword and rushed to the last insect that had already fought with the black-ridged red-shelled insect and could no longer be killed by the frost arrows.
The last insect was locked by the black-ridged red-shelled insect, so it was not difficult to kill it. The blade cut through its head and body with flames, and suddenly a large mass of green body fluid was ejected from its chest and fell to the ground. The insect's head was still hissing unyieldingly towards the sky.
This was a red-shelled insect, this was an insect, far more powerful than a group of floating monsters!
However, at this moment, there was a violent vibration on the ground that could be clearly felt without Yuan Qi sensing. It seemed that there were thousands of troops galloping on the ground, and a magnificent momentum of a large army was rushing towards them.
Feng Yingxi's face suddenly turned pale, and the others were not much better. Some of the more timid ones even had their legs trembling. Although they often heard Chu Yunsheng mention that once they encountered a large swarm of insects, it would be the kiss of death, but after all, no one had seen it before, so they couldn't feel it, let alone take it seriously. However, now that they haven't even seen it yet, just the momentum of the swarm was enough to make them tremble in fear.
"Let's go!"
Chu Yunsheng was the first to react, and his brows were almost twisted. With a team of less than a thousand people, even if he was included, it was not enough to deal with the red-shelled insect army!
Feng Yingxi, Yu Jian, Luo Dalian, and others almost mechanically moved their feet. Everyone was very clear that this time they might not be able to escape. How could people's legs run faster than insects that were as fast as the wind?
At this time, the black-ridged red-shelled insect, which quickly got up from the ground, desperately pushed Chu Yunsheng with its head, telling him to run faster. After pushing Chu Yunsheng a few times, seeing that Chu Yunsheng didn't move, it became anxious, like an ant on a hot pot. Regardless of its injured thigh, it tried its best to push Chu Yunsheng, almost begging him to go as far as possible.
Chu Yunsheng looked at its almost broken thigh and knew that it was hopeless to take it with him, so he made up his mind and stepped back.
Seeing that he was finally going to leave, the black-ridged red-shelled insect turned around silently. In the eyes of Feng Yingxi and others, it made a move that they would never understand. It dragged its crippled thigh, limped, and rushed towards the swarm of armored swarm that was getting closer and closer. It was as weak as an ant, but it resolutely blocked the swarm of armored swarm with its own body.
While everyone was admiring him, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. What kind of enemy were they going to face!?
Chu Yunsheng looked at the figure of the black-ridged red-shelled insect, which seemed extremely lonely and thin in the dark, and held the sword in his hand tightly.
