Chapter 78 (1/2)

“Commander, are we really going to do this?” Staff Officer Tao said with hesitation.

“Do we have other choices? Lao Tao, we can’t rely on those people. We can’t kill the flaming monster either! So we have to give him up!” Commander Du sighed.

“But Capt. Ban…” he seemed to be very concerned.

“It’s not his position to make any decisions. The only important thing is to protect those scientists!” Commander Du interrupted him.

…

The flaming monster was on high alert, it noticed Chu Yunsheng straight away before Chu Yunsheng even approached the middle of the giant plant. Then it instantly dived down at him like a fighter jet.

Chu Yunsheng turned around immediately. No matter what happened next, his plan was to save as much energy as possible. Behind him, the flaming monster was chasing closely.

Ban s.h.i.+jun and other people seized the opportunity and immediately climbed up the plant.

Since the last three encounters with the flaming monster, he has become even more experienced than before. He was no longer running away in a straight line. Sometimes, he would even use the roots or buildings to his advantages.

He was buying time, both for himself and other people.

A second pa.s.sed; two seconds pa.s.sed… Finally, those awakened warriors reached the top of the strange plant and started to destroy the core.

“Boom!”

After a loud explosion.

The last fog core finally exploded, then the whole ground suddenly shook violently like there was an earthquake!

The crowd burst into cheers!

The fog walls seemed to have lost its energy, and it started to slowly dissipate until it completely disappeared. The unknown strange liquid in some of the giant plant’s transparent roots started to flow rapidly.

Even Chu Yunsheng, who was still busy running, could still feel the powerful and tenacious vitality inside those roots.

The professors have studied this kind of plant before, they suspected that the giant plants in Kun city were all connected together, and they had an incredible life energy and healing ability. Once the fog cores were all destroyed, if they couldn’t escape the city on time, those plants would be able to heal the fog cores, then everything would be back to its original status.

Seeing the fog walls disappear, Chu Yunsheng immediately went around a giant red root, leading the flaming monster straight back to them!

Seeing the monster returned, the cheerful crowd instantly became silent.

Chu Yunsheng has already endured the flaming monster’s attack almost ten times. His back armor had already melted a layer, but he still didn’t want to attack the flaming monster because he was scared that the attack would provoke the flaming monster, then it would lock on him, so he just kept running. Luckily, the energy s.h.i.+eld could still protect his body.

The crowd only paused less than a second, then Ban s.h.i.+jun shouted, “brothers, ready to engage, let’s kill this monster!”

However, all the awakened warriors behind him had already run away within a split second, no one wanted to fight this monster!

“Captain! Quick, let’s go, it’s the commander’s order!” two military awakened warriors immediately dragged him and jumped off the root.

Ban s.h.i.+jun was struggling while being dragged down by two other soldiers, his face was filled with shame, “how could we do this, how could we… It’s our Comrades… Is it really the right thing to do?…”

Even Chu Yunsheng had expected that this would happen, it still p.i.s.sed him off.
