Chapter 187 (1/2)

“I’m leaving tomorrow,” Chu Yunsheng said one more time.

“Ah!” Edgar woke up in shock. He knew this day would come, but he still felt like he was struck by the lightning when he heard it.

The past two months were the most peaceful period he had since the beginning of the dark age. Although he didn’t know what Chu Yunsheng was doing every day outside the town, he knew he was preparing to leave soon.

“Mr. Lennon, may I go with you?” Edgar asked nervously. He was scared that Chu Yunsheng was going to say no. “I won’t be a trouble, I can stay far away behind you….” he immediately added.

“You are going to die if you come with me,” said Chu Yunsheng. He was not trying to scare Edgar. He couldn’t even tell if he would be able to cross the area of slimy substances alive, let alone bringing another ordinary human with him.

“Stay here, I’ll leave some food for you. You probably can still live for some time.” Chu Yunsheng looked outside through the windows and said.

The reason why he said “some time” was that he also was not sure how long this man was going to survive. It might be one week, it might be just two days. Once the town was covered with a slimy substance. It wouldn’t be long for insects to find him.

“Mr. Lennon, please, I’m begging you, please allow me to follow you. I’ll be dead if I stay here…” Edgar begged.

“Are you sure that you want to leave with me? You have to understand that I’ll not protect you once we enter the area of slimy substance. You are still going to die if you follow me,” Chu Yunsheng warned.

“Yes. Mr. Lennon, I’ve decided. No matter what. I’ll give it a try! Please let me follow you, I can cook, I can be a lookout, I can do anything. I can protect myself, you don’t need to protect me. I won’t regret it.” Edgar looked at Chu Yunsheng with hope.

“Are you good at shooting?” Chu Yunsheng was curious.

“Yes, Mr. Lennon. In America, I have a permit to carry a gun. I’m also a gun hobbyist. You don’t need to worry too much about me.” said Edgar while raising the rifle in his hand.

Chu Yunsheng almost forgot that Edgar was not from China, if Edgar was good at shooting, then he might be useful to him.

The type 1 dark energy gun was still in his storage talisman, Chu Yunsheng hasn’t touched it since he got type 2 from professor Sun. He also had spare bullets from GRD. Roughly 80 of them.

The gun was already enchanted with the fire enchantment talisman, it was much more powerful than the ordinary energy gun.

If he could arm Edgar, then Edgar could hide inside a golden-sh.e.l.led insect to a.s.sist him. Although compared to the size of the swarm, it was nothing, to him, more help means less risk.

“Okay, Edgar, prove that you are useful to me. Try your best to get used to this new gun. And you only have 82 bullets. Don’t waste any of them,” he took out the gun from his loose cloak and pa.s.sed it to Edgar.

“Type 1 dark energy gun!?” Edgar was shocked. Although he was not a formal researcher, he still worked for GRD before, so he recognized the gun.

“Mr. Lennon, I won’t let you down.” Edgar was much more confident now.

“But I have to tell you, that once we leave this building, there is no way back and even if you are in danger, I probably won’t be able to save you. Do you understand?” said Chu Yunsheng.

“I understand, Mr. Lennon,” Edgar said sternly. This was his only chance to escape from here, he had to try it.
