Chapter 182 (1/2)

“… Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your G.o.d will be with you wherever you go…” Edgar silently recited in his mind. His body was shaking, however, he still had to keep crawling into the dark.

The rope was being dragged longer and longer until he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

After another wave of sharp pains, Chu Yunsheng woke up once again. He started to notice that the number of times he lost his consciousness was very abnormal.

Only when he carefully examined himself one more time did he realize that he had been exposed to the corrosive liquid for too long and the poison had already spread deep inside his body. It was the main reason that he lost consciousness repeatedly.

This place was not safe. Falling unconscious in this place was extremely dangerous. But Chu Yunsheng didn’t have any alexipharmic talismans. All the Yuan Qi he restored were gathered by his Rong Yuan body automatically to suppress the poison from spreading faster and further. But the effect was very slow and he pa.s.sed out once again…

…..

Chu Yunsheng felt a sharp pain from his thigh, it instantly woke him up one more time. When he realized what happened, he instantly broke into the cold sweat.

He was surrounded by many little green light dots. They were like many ghost fires floating around him.

There was a pair of green lights on his thigh, and that was the cause of pain.

He tried to move the gun and aimed the gun at the green light dots, but he was too weak. The gun was dropped on his thigh and it instantly provoked the light dots. Only when the light dots jumped towards the gun did Chu Yunsheng realise what they were. Those were green eyes and they belonged to a mutant mouse.

The mouse was ferociously worrying the gun and trying to rip it open. Chu Yunsheng immediately grabbed the handle of the gun and pulled the trigger when the mouse was chewing the tip of the gun.

The dark energy gun didn’t make any sound, but the energy bullet made a spark when the gun was fired. It instantly blasted the mouse into pieces and hit the ground in the middle of the crowd of green dots. At the moment when the spark appeared, Chu Yunsheng gasped in shock. The green light dots he saw were just the tip of an iceberg. There were so many of them crawling in the dark facing different directions…

The last time he encountered mice was when he was on the way to Jin Ling city. At that time, the mice he encountered were just regular mice. But this time was different. The eyes of those mice were glowing in green light in the dark. Even an idiot would know that those mice were much more dangerous.

The condition of his body seemed to be getting worse, the poison began to slow down his movement. He couldn’t even take out the corrosive liquid from the storage talisman.

“f.u.c.k, am I really going to be killed by those mice?” Chu Yunsheng cursed silently.

But he was not going to give up so easily. He forced himself to split some of Yuan Qi out and used it to activate the armour. Then he wrapped himself in the cloak.

In the beginning, he tried to use the gun to kill those mice, but there were too many of them, and he couldn’t infuse Yuan Qi into the dark energy gun anymore because his body needed those Yuan Qi units to defend the poison. So he relied on the energy field inside the gun to trigger the fire enchantment talisman to unleash the enchanted energy bullets. However, there wasn’t much Yuan Qi left inside the fire enchantment talisman. So in the end, he gave up shooting the gun.

Now whether he could survive this or not, it all depended on whether the cloak and the armour could withstand those mutant mice’s teeth or not.

But in the meantime, he needed to absorb Yuan Qi from the absorption talisman and help his body to fight back the poison as soon as possible. Once he recovered, he could easily kill them all or escaped from here.

……

w.a.n.g Qishun felt very sleepy since the night went completely dark.

When he was about to take a nap, the rope in his hand suddenly stretched very tight. Then he heard some rustling sounds coming from the deep dark street.

He was startled and threw away the rope in panic. Then he realized that he needed to inform other people. So he immediately signaled Liu Tiesheng and then quickly ran towards the door to close it. But just when he was about to close it, he saw the rope was loosened again.

When he was relieved and thought that everything was going to be the same just like the last few times, he saw Edgar running back quickly from the deep dark street while attempting to shout out loud, even though his mouth was gagged. It seemed like Edgar was trying to tell them something, but his scream was m.u.f.fled.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

It was Edgar banging at the building’s entrance using his head. In this silent dark evening, it was extremely loud and clear.
