Chapter 89 (1/2)

The first wave that arrived was the thermal radiation. Within just a split second, it set everything on its path on fire.

Chu Yunsheng was far away from the center of the nuclear explosion. However, when the thermal radiation arrived at the civilian house he had stayed before, its power didn’t seem to be reduced. Luckily, those thermal radiations were blocked by the energy s.h.i.+eld talisman, otherwise, not only the intense heat would cause him to have severe injuries, just the light itself would make him blind.

But it was not over yet, the real danger was the shockwave. Even though he was far away from the center of the explosion, it didn’t take too long for the shockwave to reach the house. Chu Yunsheng only got the chance to run to the nearest dry ditch and quickly jump into it. He also made sure that the little one was underneath him and was fully covered by his body.

The shockwave brought about a tremendous amount of dust, sweeping through the ground. The brand new combat armor barely withstood the first shock wave’s impact, then it was shattered into pieces.

Chu Yunsheng had to utilize all the yuan qi inside of his body to keep the energy s.h.i.+eld running.

When the powerful shockwave was finally over, Chu Yunsheng had also lost his consciousness.

………

After a long time, he was awakened by low-pitched roars.

He still maintained his facedown position and his back was covered with dirt. However, it was completely empty underneath him. Fear suddenly struck his heart. He immediately tried to get up, but felt a terrible burning pain on his back. He also felt like all of the bones inside his body were broken.

He forced himself to sit up while enduring the pain. Then he noticed that the sky already had hazy s.h.i.+mmers, and it seemed to be getting dimmer. It meant that he had lost his consciousness for more than twenty hours at least.

Soon, he noticed where the little tiger was. It was sitting on a higher ground and facing the other side. There were dozens of dead mice next to it. The low-pitched roars were made by it.

Chu Yunsheng gathered all his strength to crawl up to higher ground. What he saw next sent a chill down his spine!

In front of him were not insects, which was probably the worst thing that could happen, but a swarm of mice! There were definitely more than hundreds of them!

Some of them were chewing a dead body not far from Chu Yunsheng, but the rest of them that could not squeeze themselves into the crowd to chew at the body, all squeaked at the little tiger!

A few of them even attempted to attack the little one, but they were all quickly killed by it.

However, it seemed like it was just a tentative attack. They slowly gathered together and prepared for a ma.s.sive attack!

Chu Yunsheng could not understand it, mice should be scared of larger animals. Why were they not afraid now!?

He was also shocked that if he didn’t wake up early, just by the little tiger itself, it definitely wouldn’t be able to deal with these many mice.

Looking at the mice, he instantly thought of an idea. He could use the corrosive liquid that he still had. Once he threw the corrosive liquid out, it would spread out and would kill lots of them.

Of course, if he had enough yuan qi, he could also use his sword technique to kill those mice as well. But because he didn’t have enough yuan qi, he had to use the liquid instead.

He still had some of those liquid bags with him. Originally, he planned to use them all when he was in Fog City. However when he reached Yuan Tian stage two, he would no longer need them to kill meat worms.

Since the Dark Age began, from the people and the monsters he had encountered, he learned that no matter how dangerous it was, he needed to make decisions quickly. Otherwise, he might end up dead!

So he quickly took out the liquid and immediately shouted, “Hu Zai, come back!”

In his recent observations, Chu Yunsheng noticed that the little one was very smart, he didn’t know why exactly, but he suspected that it had something to do with the awakening.

As soon as the little tiger heard his voice, it instantly turned around. He could see a visible happiness appearing on the little one’s face. Then it quickly jumped back and wanted to use its face to rub onto Chu Yunsheng’s face. But then, it noticed that Chu Yunsheng was holding something, and as if it understood what Chu Yunsheng wanted to do, it jumped aside.

The swarm of mice squeaked at them and then quickly swarmed Chu Yunsheng.
