Chu Yunsheng didn’t kill the cripple, but he still died. He was beaten to death by those ‘cannon fodders’.
The leader’s body was also beaten up even after he died. Even his genitals were smashed into minced meat.
Chu Yunsheng was silently smoking a cigarette on the side. Killing humans still had some impact on his emotions, but he calmed down very soon. He guessed that perhaps it was because he had seen too many dead bodies recently.
No one dared to stand close to him, even Yu Xiaohai also gasped in surprise and stared at him.
Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but suddenly realised that it seemed like he had been killing since the beginning of darkness. At first, he was just killing the insects, then he started to kill people. Probably in the future, he would kill even more people. When would there be an end?
No one could answer his question. He himself couldn’t answer it, and the ancient book also couldn’t. Just like this dark world, no one knew when it would end!
He took off his helmet and noticed that his hair was just as messy as Yu Xiaohai’s. It has been a long time since the last time he cleaned his hair. His hair was long, messy and dirty. It was tossed around on his head as a gust of cold wind blew over him.
‘It’s time to go back to cultivating Yuan Qi.’ Chu Yunsheng told himself.
After Chu Yunsheng came down from the roof, he found himself a clean room and asked Yu Xiaohai to wait outside. He needed time to recover the last one and a half unit of Yuan Qi.
The building they were staying in used to be a luxury five-star hotel. Its furniture was still in its best state. He found a comfort spot on the bed and started to meditate.
After a long and boring eighteen hours of Yuan Qi cultivation process, he finally restored his last one and a half unit of Yuan Qi. He then immediately took out a talisman paper and started to make a brand new absorption talisman.
One absorption talisman would consume him 6 units of Yuan Qi. He was instantly exhausted with Yuan Qi after making one absorption talisman. He could barely use the last bit of Yuan Qi to activate the absorption talisman to convert the Yuan Qi from the dead red-sh.e.l.led insects and transfer the Yuan Qi into his body.
The energy from the five red-sh.e.l.led insects was converted into five flames patterns. It was a total of 10 units of Yuan Qi. After he used the absorption talisman to restore nine units of Yuan Qi, he spent two units of Yuan Qi to make a new energy s.h.i.+eld without his personal signature. This was for Yu Xiaohai. He then used up the last half flame pattern on the absorption talisman. In the end, His body still had eight units of Yuan Qi.
Yu Xiaohai did not have Yuan Qi. So the power of the energy s.h.i.+eld was greatly reduced. But if it was just for escape, the energy s.h.i.+eld was still very helpful. After all, the energy s.h.i.+eld would also increase his overall body strength as well.
After Chu Yunsheng prepared everything, he activated the storage talisman to store all the everyday necessities that were inside the room. Who knew how long the dark age would last? So the necessities such as the bed sheets might be helpful in the future.
He then started to go through all the rooms inside the hotel one by one, until the patterns almost filled up the entire talisman. He only kept a few s.p.a.ces that were just enough for about ten insect’s bodies.
He was thinking about making a new storage talisman when he had enough Yuan Qi. Otherwise, if he found something good, he would have nowhere to store them.
A storage talisman was going to consume him six units of Yuan Qi. It was too much for him now. This was also why he did not make a new one.
Some of the rooms still had people living inside. They were probably the guests of this hotel before the insects appeared.
When Chu Yunsheng was searching the rooms, most of them ran out of their rooms. However, it was not that Chu Yunsheng had scared them away or something, it was actually that there was a military armored unit evacuating the people from the city on the street outside the hotel.
The whole hotel building suddenly became very noisy. There was no light in the hotel, only a few people using the flashlights in the corridors to find the way to walk down the building.
Originally, Chu Yunsheng wanted to go to the city library. He wanted to find out more information about the ancient book. During the age of light, some important files were not available to the general public, so he could not get them.
But he was running out of time. He had been struggling to make up his mind for a long time, and eventually, he gave up the idea of going to the city library.
If he did not retreat with the army, just with eight units of Yuan Qi, he would not be able to survive a swarm of insects’ attacks.
As long as he was still alive, there would be a way to find out what was inside the book. But if he was dead, then it was a game over!
Chu Yunsheng spent a very long time looking for Yu Xiaohai in the chaotic crowd. When he finally found him, he hurriedly cast the talisman on to him in the crowd.
Yu Xiaohai was stunned for a long time after he saw what Chu Yunsheng did.
And as Chu Yunsheng had expected the power of the energy s.h.i.+eld only had one fifth of its original power. But with only one fifth of its true power, it still increased Yu Xiaohai’s overall strength. He was able to move in the crowd smoothly after he had the s.h.i.+eld.
Chu Yunsheng took out a motorbike and asked Yu Xiaohai to drive it because he planned to cultivate Yuan Qi while he was on the motorbike. He wanted to use as much time as he could to cultivate Yuan Qi. All he thought was simple, even just a little bit of Yuan Qi, it might save his life!
Xiao Li was arranged to sit at the back of the motorbike, Chu Yunsheng himself was sitting in the middle. Only when he was sitting in this position would he have the minimum disruption.
