Chu Yunsheng counted the insect bodies he had: thirty-eight of them in total. He still needed twenty-two!

Pig’s brains have always been Chu Yunsheng’s life savior. He also had no other choices, single red-sh.e.l.led insects were very hard to find now, he would be happy even if he encountered two insects every time.

Surely, not only Chu Yunsheng, but even the army also didn’t like to encounter a swarm of insects as well. Red-sh.e.l.led insects liked to eat brains. It didn’t matter if it was humans’ or other animals’. To them, all creature’s brains on Earth seemed to be delicious meals. Because of this, Chu Yunsheng had successfully used pig’s brains as bait to kill a dozen red-sh.e.l.led insects already.

But recently the method seemed to become less effective. Last time, his pig’s head was almost taken away by some starving people! It was pork, of course, anyone would try to take it if they saw it.

But he soon came up with an idea. He removed the pig’s brain from its skull, mixed it with blood, and left it on the street next to a human body. After doing that, no one dared to steal his pig’s brain anymore!

He guessed that probably the brain wasn’t fresh anymore, that’s why fewer insects fell for the trap.

While he was thinking how to find more red-sh.e.l.led insects, the female teacher and her students came into the restaurant hall one by one. They probably had finished the food. After all, half a pot wasn’t that much, let alone with the number of people they had.

Although this group of people seemed to be scared of him, they still forced themselves to come to him. Chu Yunsheng could not help but frown. Looking at this situation, they were definitely going to ask him for something else. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help these kids, but the problem was that he couldn’t even take care of himself, how could he pretend to be a hero and take care of them?

He instantly regretted what he did earlier. He should have left earlier.

The female teacher said to him gratefully, “Thank you for your help, I am a teacher in the twenty-first high school in Shen Cheng city, my name is… ”

Chu Yunsheng quickly interrupted her, “Okay, Okay, I do not want to know this. Based on the situation you are in right now, I personally think that you should seek help from the troops or government as soon as possible. You are all students, the troops should do something to help.”

His interruption was somewhat embarra.s.sing to the female teacher, but she still bit her lips and explained, “We did go to the troops, but they have too many people that need to be taken care of. We never had a chance! Sir, I am not asking for food from you, I have a student who has been suffering from high fever for three days now. She needs prescription drugs. If she doesn’t get treatment soon… Sir, please, she is dying…!”

Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a moment. He was very sympathetic towards their plight, but he didn’t have any prescription drugs. In the age of light, the prescription drugs were given out by doctors. He did not have much time nor energy to find those drugs. He had some regular medicine, but to cure this level of high fever he did not think it would help, so he could not help but say. “I’m sorry, I do not have any prescription drugs!”

The female teacher quickly said with a tone of hope, “There is a community hospital not far from here. We have been there before, but there are insects over there, can you… please?!”

“I am sorry!” Chu Yunsheng thought for a second but still refused. He had also been to that hospital, there were three red-sh.e.l.led insects just near the entrance and there could be even more inside. It was too dangerous. Although they had his sympathy, he was not yet ready to sacrifice his own life for others.

The hall suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Chu Yunsheng thought it was his right to choose whether to help or not. He did not want to risk his life for a stranger. It was not a good idea at all, so he got up and prepared to go!

“Thump!” Behind him, the female teacher knelt down!

He was stunned by her action, Then, “thump!”, “thump!”, “thump!”…..

A dozen students, they all knelt down!

Chu Yunsheng’s heart inexplicably jumped. He couldn’t describe the feeling he had then, it was more than just shocked.

In the age of light, on the television or on the Internet, there were often the appearances of groups of people on their knees asking for justice.

He used to curse those officials as cold-blooded animals, that they did not have any feelings towards others, that they were the shame of humanity!
