“Why are you still here?” Chu Yunsheng’s heart suddenly tightened. The schools and universities were something that he had stressed to the military and the government before. Why were there still students here? Looking at the young people behind the girl, Chu YunSheng could tell that they were all students. Did Yu Jian and other people abandon his plan because of his disappearance? This would not be good.
The girl also recognized Chu Yunsheng. After all, it would be hard not to recognize the cloak.
Originally, she was just about to lose her hope, thinking that she would definitely die here, but she didn’t expect that Chu Yunsheng still hadn’t left this place. She knew that she was a student, even if she was a smart one, and also looked beautiful, she was not comparable to the people like Chu Yunsheng. So it was normal that the military didn’t take her away with them, but they didn’t take Chu YunSheng as well?
But before the girl could figure it out, Chu Yunsheng asked her this question, so she had to stop thinking, and said hopelessly, “We were originally scheduled to leave, but a group of important people suddenly took our places. At that time, it was said that monsters had already started to appear outside the city, so we didn’t dare not go alone, but had to wait for the military to escort us.”
Anyone in her position would feel angry. After all, it was a life and death arrangement. However, she didn’t dare to reveal her anger in front of Chu YunSheng. After all, he was also “abandoned” here.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t notice the “anger” behind her tone. As long as the people he worked with didn’t abandon the teachers and students on a large scale, he would not be too worried. After all, without talents, how was he going to fight the five elemental races and No.1. Moreover, how was he going to study the ancient book?
After Chu YunSheng realized that, he gradually calmed down. However, he still couldn’t remember her name, so he asked, “what’s your name?”
“Yuan Xiaoyi.” The girl said to Chu YunSheng. For her, it was normal that Chu YunSheng couldn’t remember her name. After all, he was a very important person. It was already not bad that he could still her appearance.
“Yuan Xiaoyi … Yes, I remembered it now.” Chu Yunsheng glanced at the many students behind her, thought for a second, and asked, “are there any awakeners amongst those students?”
“What is an awakener?” Yuan Xiaoyi was puzzled by Chu Yunsheng’s question and said in confusion.
At this time, the middle-aged man holding Chu Yunsheng’s crossbow also hurriedly came over, and as soon as he saw Chu Yunsheng, he hurriedly said, “As soon as we came in, we found that these students were hiding here.”
If it wasn’t being chased, no one would want to run to the roof. After all, that was the last solution. So most of the people preferred to stay on the first floor or the second floor. Even if it was quite crowded, people still preferred to stay together. After all, it would be much safer this way.
This was the reason why the middle-aged man was able to discover those students so easily. At that time, fearing that the group that ran into the building might lead the floating monsters into the building, the two groups of people almost had a fight.
“Since you are here, let’s gather everyone together and ask if there are any awakeners. There are so many people here, there must be one or two of them!” Chu Yunsheng put away the battle cloak and night vision device and said.
He and the soldiers were the last group of people that came into the building. Amongst those seven soldiers, some of them were injured, so at the moment, the other soldiers were trying to treat those wounded soldiers.
The middle-aged man nodded and turned to gather the crowd. In the various dim lights, Chu YunSheng took a quick glance at the crowd, there were around ninety people here. Amongst the ninety people, most of them were students, roughly around fifty.
After a while, seeing Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the sofa alone, the soldier’s group selected one person to come to him. The person was very young, should be in his twenties, but he was very big and muscular.
“Brother, on behalf of everyone in our team, I thank you for saving us.” The big and muscular soldier cautiously said. At the same time, he took out half a pack of cigarettes and gave it to Chu YunSheng and explained, “we collected this from my brothers, I’m sorry, but this is all we got.”
“Are there any senior officers?” Chu Yunsheng took the cigarette and signaled him to sit down and talk.
The big and muscular soldier gloomily said, “Several squad leaders are dead, even the company commander also went missing. We are all fighting on our own. Because I stay in the army the longest and I’m also a corporal, my team selected me to be a temporary leader.”
“So who is the highest-ranking officer that is still in Nanjing? Is the person still alive?” Chu Yunsheng thought about it and asked without giving up.
The big and muscular soldier sighed, “It’s the commander of our 107th Infantry Brigade, we were just transferred from Xuzhou city and took over the task of escorting the last batch of people. But we didn’t expect that we would be trapped here since the first day we took over the task. Our brigade commander also died that day, and then many troops were scattered.”
Hearing that he came from Xuzhou city, Chu YunSheng immediately asked, “The 7th Armored Division is also from the Xuzhou city. There is a 218th regiment. Do you know if they have withdrawn from the city?”
