"ah!"--
A piercing scream interrupted Chu Yunsheng's thoughts. The sound came from the darkness on the right side of the team where the lights could not reach. It was a little far away from where Chu Yunsheng and others were, but it was very harsh in the dark night as silent as death. , clearly a scream before death.
"Old Feng, go and see what's going on."
Chu Yunsheng turned around and gave an order to Feng Yingxi. Judging from the fluctuations in vitality, there were probably only one or two red beetles. Feng Yingxi now had thirteen awakened people. Together, if they could handle even one or two red beetles, No, they wouldn't be able to go far in the dark wilderness.
Feng Yingxi knew that Chu Yunsheng had extremely strict requirements for awakened people, so he left without saying anything. Yu Jian volunteered to help. Although their role was not very great, they still had a few guns.
"Captain Luo, I have a task for you." Chu Yunsheng looked forward with a helpless expression.
"Say." Luo Dalian took a step forward and said, holding the assault rifle.
From the initial six or seven people, after gathering at the train station, Luo Dalian now has a total of fifteen surviving skirmishers, basically from the original Xuzhou Infantry Brigade. Their immediate family members were affected by the operation of the military region before darkness fell. Most of them have been transferred to Shanghai, so they have nowhere else to go. They just want to return to Shanghai as soon as possible to reunite with their families.
This was one of the reasons why they were willing to follow Chu Yunsheng.
"There is still a long way to go from Shanghai. In the dark, anything can happen. There will be many emergencies like the one just now. You are soldiers. Unlike Feng Yingxi and others, you should not panic and run around when something happens. The most important thing is to stabilize the formation. If you mess up your position first, no matter who the enemy is or where they are, they will eventually collapse without a fight."
Chu Yunsheng has seen too many examples of self-defeat without a fight. Sometimes just a bug emerging from the darkness can cause a team of awakened people to collapse without a fight. An encounter that was supposed to be more than 80% sure of winning turned into a farce of people running away.
Luo Dalian understood what Chu Yunsheng was referring to and couldn't help but said with shame: "We were indeed in a bit of a mess just now."
"I can't blame you entirely. I didn't explain it in advance." Chu Yunsheng said seriously: "So now I have a task to entrust to you and your comrades. No matter what happens on the road ahead, Don't mess with anything you encounter or where I go. Protect Gaia for me and send her to Shanghai safely. In case I don't follow, don't hand it over to the military and government. Find her first. Let’s settle down somewhere, do you understand?”
"Understood! Mr. Chu, without you we wouldn't have been able to get here alive, just for this reason. Don't worry, the brothers are risking their lives. They will also protect her." Luo Dalian tightened his grip on the gun and said.
"Forget it, no one is more valuable than anyone else's life. I have heard these words so many times that I can't count them." Chu Yunsheng looked at the chaotic team with a look that was even more vicissitudes of life, and was incompatible with his young face. In the end, he didn't know what to say. Who murmured: "Perhaps, she is your only hope to survive..."
Luo Dalian smiled awkwardly. Although Chu Yunsheng's words were very explicit, they penetrated people's hearts. If Chu Yunsheng was not there, they would be trapped in a life-and-death situation again. Will he use his precious life to protect people who have nothing to do with him just because of a verbal promise? He doesn't know, because it didn't happen, so he doesn't know.
The sound of fighting in front became more and more fierce, and the fierce gunshots and the hissing of insects floated along the cold air. You can vaguely smell the smell of blood.
"Let's go, it's time to go take a look. If we don't go, someone will die again."
Chu Yunsheng estimated that Feng Yingxi and others had no experience in dealing with bugs and were most likely already at a disadvantage. If he didn't go, the awakened people, who were getting more and more frightened as they fought, might disperse immediately. Each of them ran for their lives.
The red beetle with a palm-thick black line on its back also followed him, following every step. It seemed that it decided to follow Chu Yunsheng wherever he wanted to go, without any intention of leaving.
Chu Yunsheng also had a headache handling it. The red beetle was neither Min nor Shang, and there was no way to communicate with it. It was originally supposed to be a good mount, but because it couldn't understand the commands, it could only become a follower.
One person, one insect, plus Luo Dalian and others soon arrived at the battlefield on the right side of the team. The surrounding survivors had already run away, leaving only a bloody corpse in two parts, and Feng Yingxi and others who were shouting and fighting hard. people.
Sometimes, in the face of fear, shouting loudly can also be a kind of courage, giving people the courage to face desperate situations.
It is said to be a battlefield, but in fact it is just a field. The dealers inside have withered long ago. There is a man who has awakened his fire energy and is like a great god. He seems to set fire everywhere. The orange stems and branches are burning to the point of crackling and crackling happily, and there is a tendency that the burning will become more and more prosperous. But it has no substantive effect.
But this is still good, at least it can play a weak role in disturbing the red beetles. Another person who awakened the ice energy really made Chu Yunsheng see what it meant to fool around. The one in front was setting fire, so he followed behind to put out the fire. , and occasionally threw ice cubes into the crowd of his own, causing Feng Yingxi to curse, but it didn't help. This person was not fighting at all, but completely destroying.
There were only four or five people who really posed a threat to the two red beetles. Led by Big Boss Feng, they "put out fires" on both sides and barely managed to keep this team of awakened people with no fighting ability from being wiped out by the insects.
Yu Jian and other special police officers, who originally thought they were just here to make soy sauce, actually exerted an unexpected effect on Chu Yunsheng. They moved outside the circle, maintained a certain safe distance, and violently shot the red beetle's eyes, mouth, and important vital parts with precise shooting techniques. The movable joints, overall well-trained, clear division of labor, and seamless cooperation caused a lot of trouble for the two red beetles.
It seems that their ability to survive in the dark wilderness until now is not due to luck, but to their stronger adaptability and combat ability.
As soon as Chu Yunsheng appeared on the battlefield, the battle situation immediately changed drastically.
Another bug came running from the depths of darkness, very fast, like a galloping horse. It must be running at its limit. It may have noticed the movement here, or it may have been due to other reasons. Before it appeared At the same time, Chu Yunsheng noticed it, and the black-spine insect behind him also noticed it.
Then, to everyone's surprise, the rushing red beetle ignored the junior brothers who were dancing in the field, acting as firefighters, etc., and rushed straight to Chu Yunsheng outside the battle circle. On the way, he and Chu Yunsheng The black-spine red beetles suddenly attacked and collided with each other. Immediately afterwards, the two red beetles started a fierce fight, which made everyone stunned!
Not only were they stunned, the other two red beetles were also dumbfounded, staring blankly at the two companions who appeared from nowhere and killed each other without any hesitation.
The original battlefield suddenly cooled down, and the new battlefield gradually became bloody. The two insects that followed seemed to have some kind of blood feud. The intensity of the fighting instantly escalated to a life-and-death situation. Even Chu Yunsheng couldn't react in time.
They bite each other's bodies tightly, and a pair of terrifying large pliers are constantly trying to pinch off each other's thighs. The corrosive mucus they spit out is everywhere, and it sizzles and burns when it falls on the ground. of white smoke.
At the same time, they are also neighing non-stop, each one is more piercing and shriller than the other, as if they are conveying some kind of message. Just look at the two insects that were still in a daze, and you will know that the red beetle is running towards you. While neighing, he wanted to attack Chu Yunsheng, but for a moment he stopped in confusion amidst the neighing of the black-spine beetle. After going back and forth like this, he finally got annoyed and simply refused to listen to anyone and continued to kill his old opponent - —Feng Yingxi and others.
The neighing sound became higher and shriller, flying through the dark fields and deeper into the darkness.
Chu Yunsheng understood something in a daze. He immediately took out his strong bow, endured the pain of recurrence of the injury, and released two ice arrows one after another, killing the two red beetles that attacked Feng Yingxi and others one by one. Towards the last bug that has been fighting with the black-spine red beetle into a mass and can no longer be killed with ice arrows.
The insect was locked to death by the black-ridged red beetle. It was not difficult to kill it. The blade cut through the space between its head and body with blazing flames. Immediately, a large ball of green body fluid spurted out from the chest cavity and fell to the ground. His head was still screaming toward the sky unyieldingly.
This is a red beetle, this is a bug, far beyond the comparison of a group of ragtag floating creatures!
However, at this moment, there was a violent vibration on the ground that could be clearly felt without the need for vitality induction. It seemed that thousands of troops were galloping, and a majestic momentum of an army pressing down on the situation came towards the face.
Feng Yingxi's face suddenly turned pale, and the others were not much better. Some were even more timid, and their legs were trembling. Although they often heard Chu Yunsheng mention that encountering a large swarm of insects would be the kiss of death, but after all No one has seen it, so they can't feel it, let alone take it to heart. However, they haven't even seen it yet, and just the aura like a torrent of iron armor is enough to make people feel heartbroken.
"Let's go!"
Chu Yunsheng was the first to react, and his brows were almost twisted into a Sichuan shape. Even if he was added to the team of less than a thousand people, it would not be enough for the red beetle army to fill the gap between the teeth!
Feng Yingxi, Yu Jian, Luo Dalian and others moved their steps almost mechanically. Everyone was extremely careful. They were probably doomed this time. How could two human legs outrun an insect as fast as the wind?
At this time, the black-spine red beetle quickly climbed up from the ground and pushed Chu Yunsheng with its brains, making him run away. After pushing it several times, it saw that Chu Yunsheng didn't move much. It became anxious, as anxious as The ant on the hot pot, regardless of its injured thigh, pushed hard against Chu Yunsheng, almost begging him to leave quickly, as far as possible.
Chu Yunsheng looked at its almost broken thigh, knowing that it was hopeless to take it with him, so he became cruel and stepped back.
Seeing that he was finally leaving, the Black-ridged Red Beetle turned around silently, and in the eyes of Feng Yingxi and others, it made a move that they could never understand - it dragged the crippled thigh, limping with difficulty. But he resolutely rushed towards the approaching torrent of iron armor. He was as weak as an ant but desperately used his body to block the oncoming army.
While everyone admired them, they all felt chills in their hearts. What kind of enemy they would face! ?
Chu Yunsheng looked at the black-ridged red beetle's extremely lonely and frail figure walking further and further away in the darkness, and held the sword in his hand tightly.
