Chapter 29: Saved the Wrong Person

Chu Yunsheng did not kill the cripple, but the cripple still died in the end, killed by the mob who had caught him as a scapegoat.

Even the body of the leader Liang Xing was brutally whipped by the frenzied crowd, his genitals smashed into a pulp.

Chu Yunsheng silently smoked beside them. The act of killing had a shock on him, but it quickly subsided. He guessed it was because he had seen too many deaths.

No one dared to approach him, even Yu Xiaohai looked at him in horror. Chu Yunsheng suddenly thought that since the beginning of the dark age, he had been killing non-stop. First, he killed bugs, then humans, and perhaps he would have to continue killing in the future. When would it all end?

No one could answer his question, not even himself or the ancient books. Just like this dark age, no one knew where it would end!

Chu Yunsheng took off his helmet and found that his hair, like Yu Xiaohai's, had not been cut for a long time, and it fluttered in the cold breeze.

It's time to practice! Chu Yunsheng thought to himself.

Coming down from the rooftop, he found a clean room and had Yu Xiaohai wait opposite. He needed to hurry and cultivate the last half unit of qi.

The facilities in the five-star hotel were very luxurious. Chu Yunsheng comfortably relaxed on the bed, immersing his entire being in the laws, feeling the formless and traceless qi of heaven and earth...

After a boring, mechanical, and tedious eighteen hours, Chu Yunsheng finally increased his qi by half a unit, bringing his total back to six units. He didn't dare to waste time and quickly took out the talisman paper to create a new qi-absorbing talisman.

A second-stage qi-absorbing talisman required six units of qi. After completing it, the remaining weak qi in his body was just enough to control the qi-absorbing talisman, turning the corpses of the red-armored bugs into flame patterns on the talisman, and then converting them into qi in his body.

There were five bug corpses, yielding five flame patterns, which converted into ten units of qi. After replenishing nine units, he used two units to create an unowned Six Jia talisman for Yu Xiaohai. He then added the last half flame pattern to his body, bringing his total to eight units of qi.

Yu Xiaohai had no qi, so the power of the Six Jia talisman was greatly reduced. However, if used for escape, it would still be very helpful, as the Six Jia talisman significantly enhanced physical abilities.

After everything was done, Chu Yunsheng activated the storage talisman and stored all the bedding and other living supplies in the room. Who knew how long the dark age would last? Even items like bedding might become scarce in the future.

Thus, he began to sweep through all the rooms in the hotel, stopping only when the space-indicating patterns on the storage talisman were almost full, leaving room for about ten red-armored bugs.

Chu Yunsheng thought that when his qi was a bit more abundant, he would need to create another storage talisman, otherwise, he would have nowhere to store good things he found.

A second-stage storage talisman required six units of qi, which was a huge consumption, and this was why he had been reluctant to make another one.

There were still many people hiding in some of the hotel rooms, probably guests from before the dark age. They now all ran out because an armored vehicle unit had arrived downstairs to evacuate the crowd.

The entire hotel building was in chaos, with no lights, only a few flashlights providing illumination.

Chu Yunsheng originally wanted to go to the city library to find some ancient literature to help him understand the ancient books. In the Sunlight Age, important documents in the library were not open to the public, and he had no way to get them.

But now, time was tight. After much deliberation, he gave up. If he did not follow the large group for evacuation, with only eight units of qi, if he encountered a swarm of dozens of bugs, he would have no chance of leaving the city of terror alive.

As long as he was alive, there would always be a way to unravel the mystery of the ancient books. If he died, there would be nothing to talk about!

It took Chu Yunsheng a long time to find Yu Xiaohai, who was lost in the crowd.

In the midst of the crowd, Chu Yunsheng sealed the newly created unowned Six Jia talisman on Yu Xiaohai, who was amazed for a long time. However, the effect was indeed only about 20% of what it would be on Chu Yunsheng!

But even so, it significantly improved Yu Xiaohai's abilities, making him much more agile in the crowd.

Chu Yunsheng took out the motorcycle and had Yu Xiaohai ride it, with himself and the new female colleague, Xiao Li, sitting behind. He planned to use this bit of time to try to cultivate qi, absorbing as much as possible, even if it was just a little, it might save his life!

Xiao Li was placed at the back, with Chu Yunsheng in the middle, allowing him to focus on cultivation while being sandwiched between two people.

The crowd moved very slowly, with more and more people gathering. Various torches and flashlights faintly illuminated the road.

The numerous corpses they encountered along the way made everyone very depressed and even panicked. The surroundings were filled with the cries of children, the groans of the injured, the shouts of people looking for each other, and the chaotic and panicked footsteps...

"BUGS!!!"

The people in front cried out in alarm, their voices particularly shrill!

Then came the sound of tank cannons and the rapid fire of machine guns.

Chu Yunsheng immediately woke up, steadying the panicked Yu Xiaohai, and leaped onto the top of a bus stop. Adjusting his night vision goggles, he saw that a large group of red-armored bugs was attacking from the front!

There were too many, and Chu Yunsheng didn't even bother to count. He jumped down and decided, "Xiaohai, turn around! We can't go through!"

In fact, some people had already turned around and run. Humans are very social animals, and when someone turned around, everyone else followed, creating a chaotic scene of people desperately turning to run.

The motorcycle was knocked over by the crowd. Yu Xiaohai tried to pick it up, but Chu Yunsheng immediately stopped him. With so many people, riding a motorcycle was slower than running on foot!

He had bought three motorcycles, and losing one was still manageable.

With the enhancement of the Six Jia talisman, Yu Xiaohai's speed far exceeded that of a normal human. He pulled Xiao Li and quickly weaved through the crowd.

However, the speed of the bug attack was even faster. Some bugs even bypassed the army's defenses and attacked the fleeing crowd.

For a moment, screams and bloodshed filled the air.

Thud!

A red-armored bug jumped down from the surrounding walls, blocking the middle of the crowd. Its large pincers swept across, sending several people flying and knocking down a large group behind them.

Yu Xiaohai and Xiao Li were caught up in the fallen crowd, while Chu Yunsheng lightly jumped over, drew the Qianbi sword, and shouted while running, "Xiaohai, you go ahead!"

One bug was worth two units of qi, and Chu Yunsheng couldn't bear to let it go. Ignoring the people behind him, he immediately stored the bug in the storage talisman.

At this moment, Yu Xiaohai was seen pulling someone and hurriedly running forward.

Behind them, more and more shrill screams echoed. Chu Yunsheng turned around and saw at least a dozen bugs in his night vision goggles. He didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately sprinted away.

Human endurance has its limits. After running several streets, many people, weakened by long-term hunger and malnutrition, collapsed by the roadside.

With the help of his night vision goggles, Chu Yunsheng quickly found Yu Xiaohai, who was leaning against a railing, panting heavily.

The surroundings were pitch black, and the torches and flashlights had been discarded. Yu Xiaohai and the other two, unable to see the situation, didn't dare to move. Chu Yunsheng led them to the rooftop of a nearby building. He also didn't dare to run around recklessly, as he didn't know if there were any bugs elsewhere. Now, hiding on the rooftop and observing the situation was the best and only option.

On the rooftop, through the night vision goggles, the situation around them was clear. The army was still in a fierce battle with the bugs, and the situation was unclear.

Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath, sat at the edge of the rooftop, and immediately entered a state of cultivation. He was almost driven mad, ignoring everything, with only one thought: one more unit of qi meant one more chance of survival.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaohai suddenly cried out, "Who are you?"

The other person, "Xiao Li," also panicked and said, "Who are you?"

Chu Yunsheng instantly understood that Yu Xiaohai had pulled the wrong person!
