Chu Yunsheng was so excited that he couldn’t even sleep. Finally, he didn’t need to wait for two years to reach Yuan Tian stage two. His only objective right now was to kill two hundred and forty-three Red-sh.e.l.led insects.
But he must also be proactive. He needed to walk out of his room, walk into the darkness, and look for the single monsters that did not stay in the swarm, and then kill them and absorb their Yuan Qi.
He prepared one new absorption talisman, one pistol, one folding crossbow with arrows, and one sword, which had been enchanted with Shen Bing talisman.
Even with this amount of weapon, Chu Yunsheng was still worried, so he made one energy s.h.i.+eld talisman in addition to those items. After he finished all the preparation, ten days had already pa.s.sed.
Finding those Red-sh.e.l.led insects wasn’t difficult. From time to time, frightening screams could be heard from afar, as well as the sounds of gunshots and rocket firing. No matter which one, it clearly indicated that there was a presence of those Red-sh.e.l.led insects. With Chu Yunsheng’s ability right now, it was best to attack those that fail to stay in a group. If he encountered a swarm, all he could do was run.
He gave up the idea of taking advantage of the areas that the army and those insects were fighting. Those areas usually had a lot of insects, it was very dangerous. Also, the way he absorbed Yuan Qi from a Red-sh.e.l.led insect was very strange to ordinary people. He didn’t want to be taken away by the army, just like what happened to the Ice-Punch man.
His objective right now was to find one or two red-sh.e.l.led insects, but definitely not more than three of them. Because if his energy s.h.i.+eld talisman couldn’t s.h.i.+eld him from three or more red-sh.e.l.led insects’ speedy attacks or protect him from those corrosive secretions, he would be killed before he even had time to regret his decision.
In the past ten days, people, who lived in the building NO.8, were struggling to live. Food was getting less day by day, and it forced everyone to start talking about relocation, evacuation or staying where they were until the army took back control of the city. The arguments often ended up with people fighting each other.
Many people sighed in despair when they saw Chu Yunsheng walking out of his flat at this time. But no one bothered to ask. Many people were starving. In the past few days, some people, who could not bear the hunger any longer, had gone out looking for some food. However, a lot of them never came back again. They all thought Chu Yunsheng was this type of person as well.
After arriving at a secluded corner, Chu Yunsheng took out a motorbike from his Storage talisman. When he bought the motorbike, he had also taken many things into consideration. He thought that in case the motorbike broke down in the future, it would be much easier for him to find the replacement parts if he bought the most common type of motorbike. Therefore, the brand of his motorbike was very popular during the Age of Light.
He then took out a black helmet that had a pair of night vision goggles attached on it, and put it on. After checking the surroundings, he drove the motorbike into the darkness, and quickly headed towards the nearest place where the screams came from.
Shen Cheng City was surrounded by darkness. It was no longer like the famous night city it used to be. Occasionally, there were lights pa.s.sing by quickly in the streets like ghosts wandering in a dead city. All the buildings were covered in darkness and standing silently on both sides of streets as if they were the man-eaters.
Chu Yunsheng soon arrived at the place where the screams came from. But he could only find a headless half body and an empty skull near a utility pole. The internal organs and blood were scattered everywhere, it made him feel a qualm of sickness.
‘The monster should not have gone too far,’ He got off his motorbike and thought.
Holding a crossbow against a building wall, he moved slowly towards another street. The night vision goggles he bought from the black market were the 4th generation night vision goggles. It had the most advanced night vision technology in the world. Such products were tightly controlled in the country, so he could not get it from regular stores.
In order to cope with the darkness during the Dark Age, Chu Yunsheng was also equipped with an infrared radiation device. It was probably because of the monster’s energy s.h.i.+eld, they could not be seen through the night vision goggles. Therefore, he must rely on the surrounding glares and reflections to find them. But if he was in a completely dark area, the infrared radiation device was the only way to detect the insects.
He moved from one corner to another corner. While he was looking for a single red-sh.e.l.led insect, he occasionally met some people running on the streets in panic. But he hadn’t encountered a single monster. ‘I am probably the only one in the world that is hoping to meet those Insects!’ Chu Yunsheng thought sarcastically.
Just as he was getting ready to leave the area, a piercing scream came from a building near him followed by a burst of noisy and panicked cries.
Chu YunSheng’s heart started to beat intensely. He lurked quickly towards the building and then took a quick look at a big hole on a window in the second floor of the building. The situation wasn’t very clear from his location, but the infrared imaging device showed that there were movements on the fifth or sixth floor of this building. However, it was blocked by the walls so he could not see it very clearly.
After taking a deep breath, he started to climb up the wall. The energy s.h.i.+eld that was cast onto him had increased his physical strength, coupled with the uneven surface of the wall, he successfully got into the second floor through the hole on the window.
Along the way, he was extremely careful. Because of the walls, his visibility was limited, he didn’t know how many insects were there, so he had to be cautious. He must prevent any accidents from happening.
