Chapter 13
“Then, do you still recognize the road? It is all dark outside!” Chu Yunsheng said.
If this young man recognized the road, compared to him running around without a specific direction, the chance of success would be much higher.
The young man nodded his head. “Yes! Originally, we had 30 people. After we were trapped here, we made a few attempts trying to escape from there. But every time, we were pushed back by the insects. Oh! I forgot to ask you, which way did you come from?”
“From the east, but I didn’t see any insects.” Chu Yunsheng said without any hesitation.
The young man suddenly looked dejected. “The one you killed was the one lurking in the east. We were starving, so earlier on, we tried to escape from the east. But we were pushed back by the insect again, and we didn’t expect that the insect would chase us. Then you saw everything that happened next.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head, that was why there were half bodies outside. Perhaps it was one of the group members.
“Young man, let’s make a deal. You take me to the south where the supermarket is, and also to the bridge in the east. Once I am done, I’ll escort you to the place where the army is. How does that sound?” Chu Yunsheng needed this young man to lead the way.
The frost arrow directly hit the red-shelled insect in the center of its body. At the same time, the attacks from the other two insects arrived, aiming toward his back and his left shoulder.
They did not use claws, nor corrosive saliva, they simply used their razor-sharp legs, combined with their weight, and slumped their bodies directly onto Chu Yunsheng from mid-air!
Chu Yunsheng felt sharp pain, as if his heart was tearing apart, and the bones had been pierced through. The pain spread from the back to all the nerves across his body.
The red-shelled insects’ attacks did not break the energy shield, but the force of the impact caused Chu Yunsheng to have a serious injury.
The impact force made Chu Yunsheng tumble all the way towards the door.
With just one step, he could get out of this supermarket, but he didn’t do it. If he left his back to two red-shelled insects, he would be dead for sure, because he knew that his running speed couldn’t compete with the insects’.
The energy shield could barely stop the red-shelled insects’ attacks at the moment. Moreover, Chu Yunsheng felt that the energy shield began to crack! It probably could only stop one more insects’ combination attack!
He had to kill another insect. His energy shield could probably last for a while if he was handling just one insect. He definitely could not let them attack at the same time again!
There was no time to reload the crossbow, he threw it away when he was tumbling on the ground.
It was the moment between life and death. The desire to live has evoked all the potential that he never had before!
While tumbling, he endured the pain in his body and pulled out the pistol. And to stop himself from tumbling on the ground any longer, he quickly stepped on the door frame. Instantly his body was stopped firmly on the ground, and then, he started to shoot the insect nearest to him frantically!
The gun was enchanted with the fire elemental energy, and it was as powerful as the crossbow. The only difference was that red-shelled insects also had the fire elemental energy, so it was less effective than the crossbow.
But Chu Yunsheng did not care about it. He just kept shooting the monster.
The bullets carried the fire elemental energy; burning brightly in the air. They were like beautiful flame flowers blooming on the red-shelled insect, on the market’s shelves, and on the wall at the back.
Life or death, it all depended on if he could kill this insect!
