Chapter 56 (1/2)

There were five monsters. Four headed towards Chu Yunsheng, and the other one flew towards Yao Xiang. When Chu Yunsheng finally killed them, Yao Xiang also killed the other monster using his Fire Ring Cut ability.

However, Chu Yunsheng didn’t have time to take a break nor check injuries, he just immediately pulled Yao Xiang back and leaned against the wall. There were hundreds of red eyes not far from them, they belonged to hundreds of monsters!

Even though those monsters didn’t have a strong defence, they could fly, and their speed was very fast. Once they wrapped their prey, they would immediately release a strange gas. Not only this, people would be suffocated to death if they were trapped by them. Chu Yunsheng also felt that if it wasn’t for the energy s.h.i.+eld talisman, the monster would’ve already injected something into his body!

He couldn’t imagine if he was attacked by hundreds of those monsters, it made his hairs stand up just thinking about it.

Luckily, Commander Du’s troop attracted those monsters, but Chu Yunsheng didn’t dare to pop his head out again. He could still hear the sounds of the fierce gunfire and horrible screams.

He didn’t know if Ding Yan was okay, but he thought that as long as he stayed in the group, the energy s.h.i.+eld should be able to save his life.

After the sounds slowly became further and further away from them, Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang finally bent over and slowly popped out their heads to carefully look around the surroundings. They were finally relieved when they found out that there weren’t any red-eyed monsters left.

Chu Yunsheng ignored Yao Xiang, who was sitting next to him, and immediately used the storage talisman to store the monsters’ bodies. He planned to spend some time studying those monsters later on. The more he got to know the monster, the easier he would be able to escape from them in the future.

Looking at the empty ground, Yao Xiang gasped in surprise. He seemed to want to ask Chu Yunsheng something, but he didn’t dare to.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to explain it either. Sometimes, the more he explained, the things would only get more complicated.

They quickly got themselves ready and started to lurk towards the direction where the troop retreated cautiously.

On the way, they saw many more monsters’ bodies. However, because he was worried that he might lose the troop, so he only stored some of the bodies.

Apart from the monsters’ bodies, there were also a few soldiers’ bodies as well, two were the long-faced man’s team members. It looked like Commander Du’s troop suffered quite a loss in this battle.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t find Ding Yan’s body, it made him and Yao Xiang feel relieved. But they still didn’t dare to get too close to the troop.

Gradually, the troop disappeared into the fog, and soon, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t detect them through the night vision goggles. Chu Yunsheng only knew which way they retreated to, but he didn’t know their exact location, so he had to rely on the marks that Ding Yan left behind.

When he once again saw the troop, he was shocked to find out that both he and the troop had lost their directions!

In this city forest, the deeper they got inside, the thicker the green fog would be. Although most of the plants were glowing in strange lights, and the forest wasn’t completely dark compared to the city outside, they still couldn’t find a way out.

The roads were either broken by the strange plant’s roots or covered by them, only a few skysc.r.a.pers were standing still in the fog, however, even Chu Yunsheng took out the city map, he still couldn’t recognize where he was.

Chu Yunsheng started to panic, if he was still in Shen Cheng city, he would recognize the buildings, but now, he was in an entirely different city, he couldn’t even find the roads that they had traveled on the map. Moreover, he was worried about the red-eyed monsters that were hiding in the fog.

The same thing happened to Commander Du as well. They had completely stopped moving now. His troop was gathered together once again, and it looked like they were discussing something.

Yao Xiang was holding the map that Chu Yunsheng gave to him. He ticked one building’s name: Industrial and Commercial Bank- Hou Jie branch on the map and suggested, “Brother Chu, I think, we need to find some local people. When we followed them around in the fog, we saw many people hiding inside some buildings, didn’t we?”

Chu Yunsheng had also thought about it before. But the troop in front of them was the elite group that had been selected by the regiment commander Du. Who knows they would get lost. Besides, they had scientists in their armored vehicles. Were they not useful at all?
