On the way back to his flat, Chu Yunsheng had seen many groups of people that were too nervous to stay together. The faintest sign of danger would cause them to blindly run everywhere. It was simply pure chaos. He had also encountered two insects, but he killed them very swiftly.

Holding lit torches, many people had gathered together In front of Building No.8. Ms. Zhang from the neighborhood committee and a man from the tenth floor were standing on top of a Volkswagen Pa.s.sat.

Chu Yunsheng deactivated his armor as he walked near them. Soon, he heard the tenth-floor neighbor shout, “Everyone! Do not panic! Kids, elders and women walk in the middle. Men walk at the front and the back. Please take any weapons, any food, water or any other valuables that you have stored in your homes! Anyone who still has petrol in their cars and would like to leave with us, please follow us. If you do not want to, please say it now! We hope that everyone can work together, only when we stay together, will there be hope!”

“Sun Darui! I agree, we should act together!”

“As long as we can keep our kids safe, we will do anything!”

“Me too, f.u.c.k it! At the worst, let’s die with the insect!”

…

Everyone was talking all at once, only a few people had different opinions, but most of them agreed with Sun Darui.

Chu Yunsheng guessed that other people might have considered him as an adult male, so they had also asked him to join the group. But Chu Yunsheng had his own plan, so he lied and said that he had joined another group already. He just came back to get his stuff.

He actually did not really have much stuff to take, only some daily necessities. So it didn’t take him very long to pack up all the stuff he needed.

Before he left the flats, Chu Yunsheng’s mind was filled with strong emotions. In this room, he successfully sensed Yuan Qi for the first time, successfully made the first talisman, killed the first insect and built the first armor and sword… So many first times, it seemed as if this room was his starting point for the dark age!

Moreover, he seemed to have a strange feeling that, one day he would return to this room again.

This feeling was so strange and inexplicable that he didn’t know why he would suddenly feel this way. Unable to figure it out, in the end, he just shook his head, stepped out of Building No.8 and started this unknown journey.

Chu Yunsheng’s first target was a medium-sized Jiadeli supermarket, since by now, most of the supermarkets or convenience stores had already been searched countless times by those hungry people. Only those places that always had a large number of insects wandering around, still have some stuff left.

On the way to the supermarket, he thought about the decisions he had made in the past. Since the dark age began, he was always thinking about the insect, and thinking about how to increase his strength. The food he had gathered during the age of light was still enough for him to eat, that was why he had not considered food as his first priority in the past. In retrospect, he realized he should have taken more supplies. They were free, after all.

But regret would not change anything. Although most of the supermarkets and convenience stores had been plundered, he still knew some places that no one dared to get close to. Those places were accidentally discovered by him while he was looking for single red-sh.e.l.led insects.

This Jiadeli Supermarket was located at a crossroads. When Chu Yunsheng first came to this place, he noticed that there were a total of four insects. At that time, he could not do anything to them but run away, but now it was a good place to start.

Although there were four of them, he still did not dare to let his guard down. After activating his armor, he began to secretly approach the target location as usual. Sometimes he even thought that because he had been psychologically traumatized by the ruthless insects, so this habit gradually became his subconscious behavior.

After arriving at the supermarket, he discovered that the number of insects had increased. Now there were a total of five insects. Because of this, he temporarily paused his plan and calculated for a long time. He believed that without any accidents, he should be able to kill them all.

He was very excited after he had thought it over. Thinking about how he ran away from insects before and how he was really going to fight with those five insects now, how could he not be excited?

Not long ago, he had killed four insects, which had helped him to restore nine units of Yuan Qi. With these nine units of Yuan Qi, although he needed to be careful, he was confident.

From the back of the supermarket, he first lurked into a six-stories high old resident building opposite the supermarket, and then hid on the first floor behind a security door, which directly faced the supermarket, but was slightly obscured to the three insects outside the supermarket.

The crossbow was positioned, and the arrows were ready to go!

—Woos.h.!.+—

With one unit of Yuan Qi, the Frost Arrow successfully froze one insect. The other two immediately noticed him and rushed towards him. The insect’s fast reaction time never cease to amaze him.

The security door only managed to block the insects for a few seconds, but it was enough for Chu Yunsheng to reload another arrow. Nearly pressing against its belly, he fired the arrow again.
