Chapter 78: The Fog Wall Breaks

"Commander, are we really going to do this?" Tao, the advisor, said hesitantly.

"Do we have any other choice? Old Tao, the gathered awakened warriors are completely unreliable. Even with the few people from our regiment and Chu Yunsheng combined, we can't possibly defeat the flame monster! We have no choice but to abandon him!" Commander Du sighed.

"Captain Ban seems..." Tao, the advisor, said worriedly.

"There's no time for that. We must prioritize the division's objectives!" Commander Du waved his hand to cut him off.

The flame monster was highly alert. Before Chu Yunsheng even reached the middle of the giant plant, it detected him and immediately dove down like a ground-attack aircraft.

Without hesitation, Chu Yunsheng turned and ran. Whether it was the upcoming escape or the impending insect swarm, conserving strength was the only way to survive.

As he ran, the flame monster pursued relentlessly. Ban Shijun and the others took the opportunity to climb up the vine and attack the final fog source.

With experience from battling three flame monsters, Chu Yunsheng's evasion skills had improved. He no longer ran in a straight line but deliberately weaved through the tangled roots at the bottom.

Chu Yunsheng struggled to hold on, second by second, while Ban Shijun and the others bombarded the last fog source, causing a burst of flames to shoot into the sky.

Boom!

The last fog source collapsed and shattered, and the entire ground seemed to tremble slightly!

The crowd erupted in cheers!

The fog wall, as if losing its support, began to disperse evenly in all directions, becoming almost imperceptible.

The solution inside the translucent roots of the giant plant flowed rapidly, and even while fleeing, Chu Yunsheng could still feel their tenacious and vibrant life force.

The professors had studied that the giant plants of Kun City were actually interconnected, possessing extremely powerful life and regenerative abilities. Once all the fog sources were destroyed, if they couldn't escape in time, the giant plants would repair their injuries and return to their original state.

Seeing the fog wall broken, Chu Yunsheng quickly circled around a red giant vine, leading the pursuing flame monster back.

The awakened warriors, who were celebrating, fell silent as they saw him leading the demon-like flame monster towards them, as if doused with cold water.

Chu Yunsheng had already endured over ten attacks from the flame monster. The back of his battle armor was almost half-melted from the intense heat. To prevent the monster from pursuing him relentlessly, Chu Yunsheng dared not turn back to attack it, only fleeing for his life. Fortunately, the Six Jia Talisman still protected his body.

The awakened warriors were stunned for less than a second before hearing Ban Shijun shout, "Brothers, prepare for battle, let's fight the monster!"

Before Ban Shijun finished speaking, the awakened warriors behind him had already fled, leaving no one behind!

"Captain! Hurry! This is the commander's direct order!" Two military awakened warriors, without hesitation, lifted Ban Shijun and jumped off the vine.

Ban Shijun struggled as he was dragged through the air, his face full of shame, "Commander, I know you're trying to complete the mission, but is it right to abandon our comrades who are fighting for us..."

Chu Yunsheng had long expected this scene, but seeing it with his own eyes still made him furious!

Since you are untrustworthy, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Chu Yunsheng did not slow down, his feet touching the vine, leaping towards the nearest group of people.

"Damn it, so many people, why are you following me!?" A fire energy warrior, who Chu Yunsheng was following, was shocked, but his speed increased even more.

Unfortunately, compared to Chu Yunsheng and the monster's speed, he was merely walking. The fire energy warrior only saw a flash of movement, and before he could react, a fiery wing swept past, instantly engulfing him. The fire energy warrior didn't even have time to scream as his head was burned to ashes.

The flame monster was momentarily delayed, and Chu Yunsheng quickly surpassed several more people, not looking back, only rushing forward!

Several more screams followed, and the flame monster became excited, charging recklessly and without restraint!

At this moment, Chu Yunsheng finally caught up with the main group. His appearance and the screams of those left behind immediately caused someone to cry out, "He's doing it on purpose, everyone, run in different directions!"

Chu Yunsheng secretly sneered: I am doing it on purpose, now let's see who can run faster!

Now, it's a race of speed for those who can run, and a test of luck for those who can't!

Whoever the flame monster targets, they are out of luck!

Chu Yunsheng made a turn and continued at high speed, no longer concerned about direction, heading wherever there were more people.

Screams echoed continuously as the flame monster plunged into the chaotic crowd, like a demon descending, lives disappearing rapidly, and the burning screams were heart-wrenching!

The fog wall had already dissipated, and the exit that the professors mentioned did not appear. It was a deception designed by Du Qishan to stabilize the gathered awakened warriors!

The military tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, loaded with scientists, had already roared out, speeding towards the western suburbs of Kun City.

Chu Yunsheng finally escaped the flame monster but did not dare to slow down as he rushed towards the outer city.

After a few steps, he found another group of people turning back, fleeing in panic towards him.

Chu Yunsheng was slightly stunned and then saw another burning flame monster attacking from the ground.

There was one in front and one behind, blocking all escape routes!

Chu Yunsheng reacted quickly, immediately darting into a building on the right side of the street. No matter what, he had to hide first and then find a chance to escape from either side.

Those who turned back, seeing the flame monster at the end of the street, suddenly stopped and followed Chu Yunsheng into the building.

However, the building was not safe. Just as Chu Yunsheng was about to escape through the back window, he saw the flame monster, which seemed to have targeted them, circling on the roof. If he went out, it would immediately dive down. Even if he could avoid the first attack, he couldn't escape its relentless pursuit.

The flame monster was too large to enter immediately, giving Chu Yunsheng and the others a brief respite, but they did not dare to relax. The flame monster had already begun to flap its wings, continuously colliding with and burning the building, causing the entire structure to creak ominously!

Moreover, the insect army was about to attack, and Chu Yunsheng even thought he heard the long-forgotten screech of the red-armored insects. He was too familiar with that sound!

Chu Yunsheng forced himself to calm down. The more chaotic the situation, the more he needed to stay composed.

He turned to look at the people behind him. These were not just anyone; they were the first group of awakened warriors gathered by Tao, the advisor, who had always suspected him. Led by the old, capable man, they seemed to have suffered no losses and had even grown to over a dozen people.
