Chu Yunsheng was not sure if the Red-sh.e.l.led insect knew how to calculate the floor number or not. He doubted that it was smart enough to find out the exact location of his flat. So he believed that the last one would not come straight to him. That was why he opened the door.

The monster might be busy chasing the people, who had just run upstairs. Chu Yunsheng told himself. It should have noticed the screams made by other people, and it would probably think that they were the one, who killed its partner.

So Chu Yunsheng decided to take the risk. If the last red-sh.e.l.led insect ran amok inside the building, he would not be able to predict where it might appear. It could use its corrosive secretions to jump through the wall, or jump down from the ceiling.

However, Its speed and reflex were faster than what Chu Yunsheng could imagine. When the Red-sh.e.l.led insect appeared just outside his door. It noticed Chu Yunsheng straight away. Chu Yunsheng has not even pulled the trigger yet. But It just paused for a second, and then rushed towards Chu Yunsheng with a strange scream.

It was the moment between life and death. The whole thing lasted for less than a second. Chu Yunsheng instantly pulled the trigger as he realized what happened. He did not have time to check if the arrow hit the Red-sh.e.l.led insect or not. He immediately used the gun, that was held but his other hand, and fired five or six shots in panic.

“Pop! Pop! Pop!” Bullets with the powerful fire element went straight into the wall, and the

the sound of the shots that missed echoed loudly. After the smoke cleared, Chu Yunsheng saw the frost arrow had activated and hit the red-sh.e.l.led insect.

He was lucky. The arrow he fired hit the monster’s claw, and froze over half of the insect’s body. A few bullets. .h.i.t it as well.

Chu Yunsheng realized that he did not have much Yuan Qi left. The flame bullets were less powerful than the frost arrow, but the Red-sh.e.l.led insect was completely dead now. The most dangerous situation he has faced since the Sun disappeared was finally gone.

Chu Yunsheng used the cold frost arrow to stop the fire on the wall, which was caused by the stray bullets. In less than a few minutes, those bullets had burned a few big holes on the wall.

He was afraid to touch the monster’s body. He did not know if the monster’s body contained some kind of virus or corrosive material. He was very concerned, and decided to store its body in the storage talisman for the time being.

Not many people were still out on the street. Most of the people got away, but hundreds of bodies, and about ten dead Red-sh.e.l.led monsters were still laying on the ground. The remaining Red-sh.e.l.led insects retreated into the darkness after suffering the heavy loss.

No one knew when they would reappear again. The private motorcade was now scattered, and some of the cars were broken. But they continued following the army, and drove into the darkness. However, No one knew if there were more monsters waiting for them outside of the city or not.

Chu Yunsheng was exhausted, both physically, and mentally. After killing three Red-sh.e.l.led insects in one day, he now knew that there was no such thing as the legendary meditation practice. Meditation didn’t help him to recover his physical exhaustion. Practice is practice; sleep is sleep. They are not the same thing. As long as he was still a human: Eating, Drinking, Sleeping, and Farting were activities he could not stop doing.

He had a dream that night, a vulgar dream. In the dream, he used the crossbow to kill a Red-sh.e.l.led insect, and saved a fairy-like beauty. The beauty fell in love with him, and when they were just about to do ‘something’ unspeakable, he woke up. It upset him a lot.

The electricity in his housing estate had already stopped, the same as the gas. He was hungry, and needed some hot food. Originally, he wanted to use the camping stove he stored in the storage talisman, but then he realized that it was important to keep the stove for emergency use.

He took out the gun, and released the magazine. Using a little bit of the Yuan Qi that still remained in his body, he fired the gun without any bullets. He successfully shot out a flame to ignite some firewood.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was truly powerful. Chu Yunsheng looked outside and thought.

The dead red-sh.e.l.led insect’s body pieces still had not melted yet. Like the frost Yuan Qi, the flame he fired must be very powerful as well.

Chu Yunsheng was a stingy guy. So when he found out that he could save the camping stove for later use, he was very happy.
