Chapter 79: Tearing Off the Mask

"Cooperation?" When the sharp old man proposed cooperation, Chu Yunsheng almost burst out laughing. These people really had incredibly thick skins! Pouting, Chu Yunsheng sarcastically said, "A bunch of people who don't keep their word, what qualifications do you have to talk about cooperation!?"

The dozen or so people were silent after his sarcastic remark. Only the old man's eyelids twitched, and he forced a laugh, "The situation forces us, and we have no choice. Even Du Qishan ran away. With our small group, we can only follow."

He would have been better off not mentioning Du Qishan. As soon as he did, Chu Yunsheng's anger flared. This bastard not only broke his promise and retreated, but also had the professors concoct a lie that after the fog wall was broken, the exit position still needed to be deduced, deceiving everyone!

The reason everyone believed this lie was not because Du Qishan was from the military, but because the professors had repeatedly and accurately deduced the fog wall model, stunning everyone, including Chu Yunsheng!

Now, Chu Yunsheng wished he could stab Du Qishan with a sword, but he guessed there were many others who were equally furious with Du Qishan!

Now, he could only curse that they would be chased and killed by bugs as soon as they left the city!

Chu Yunsheng ignored the old man. He no longer trusted them and didn't even want to talk to them, instead focusing on finding a way to escape.

Seeing Chu Yunsheng's cold reaction and the contempt on his face, even the thick-skinned old man felt embarrassed and sat to one side awkwardly.

Ding Yan and Yao Xiang, Chu Yunsheng hadn't seen them, and he didn't know if they were dead or alive, or if they had escaped with Colonel Du. However, Chu Yunsheng thought that someone as smart as Ding Yan would find a way to escape.

The building was shaking violently, and broken pieces could be seen falling from outside. The ceiling on the first floor creaked ominously, and dust fell in a steady stream, indicating the imminent danger of collapse.

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly eerie. Since they weren't cooperating, the first person to go out would be sending themselves to their death to the flame monster!

Naturally, no one wanted to be the first to go out and be cannon fodder. Only the last person to go out would have a chance to escape while the flame monster was busy attacking others!

Chu Yunsheng remained calm, standing his ground despite the precarious state of the building, as if sitting on a mountain!

Even if the floor collapsed, with his battle armor, he was unafraid. The others, with varying abilities, might barely be able to block ordinary bullets, but under the weight of several floors, they would likely be severely injured or die.

Crack!

In the midst of everyone's fear, the floor finally split with a long crack, which slowly widened!

The old man and his group could no longer sit still. This time, they sent a female awakened warrior with a pile of food, who hurried over.

Chu Yunsheng stood up alertly, pointing his Qianbi Sword at her, signaling her not to come closer.

The girl smiled, lifting the food in her hands and speaking earnestly, "Brother Chu, we really want to cooperate sincerely. This is all our food, as a condition for cooperating with you."

Chu Yunsheng didn't even look at the food in her hands, just coldly said, "You are not worth my trust. Don't talk about cooperation anymore. I don't need your food. Take it away!"

The girl bit her lip, showing a pitiful expression, and pleaded, "Brother Chu, only you can help us survive. Please..."

Chu Yunsheng held his sword, unmoved!

In the face of life and death, his mind was very clear. Out of all these people, no more than two would survive!

Either they die, or he dies!

Her act of being pitiful was completely ignored by Chu Yunsheng!

The girl sighed helplessly and slowly turned to leave.

Just as Chu Yunsheng was about to lower his Qianbi Sword, he suddenly felt a shock. Because he followed the ancient book's method of cultivating and absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, he was very sensitive to the changes in energy around him. At this moment, he clearly sensed an abnormal surge of energy around the girl!

Trying to ambush me? Chu Yunsheng's mind raced, and his sword was already thrust forward!

Sure enough, the girl simultaneously turned quickly, dropping the food and revealing a dagger with flames, lunging at Chu Yunsheng.

Her other companions immediately leaped up, each using their most powerful attack, aiming at Chu Yunsheng. The old man shouted, "Brothers, kill him, take his strongest armor and sword, and we can escape!"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunsheng's sword had already taken a head!

His Qianbi Sword, filled with his own energy, was even more powerful than a red-armored bug, let alone a fire energy warrior!

The girl, even in death, clutched the dagger tightly, but her wish was unfulfilled.

Chu Yunsheng kicked the girl's body, which was trying to ambush him, to block the attacks of the others, and their ice and fire skills were instantly shattered!

Chu Yunsheng still didn't fully understand why they suddenly decided to attack him; it was a bad idea!

He had forgotten that he had always displayed the power of his battle armor and Qianbi Sword in front of others, giving them the impression that he relied on these two treasures to dominate.

The old man's goal was simple: since going out meant certain death, and the building collapsing would result in injury or death, and waiting for the bugs to come was certain death, it was better to choose the lesser of two evils!

In their eyes, although Chu Yunsheng was strong, he was not as strong as the flame monster. If he had gone out, he would have faced certain death. It was better to attack him together, at least giving them a chance!

With Chu Yunsheng's armor and sword, the old man felt they had a good chance of fighting the flame monster!

So the old man first sent the girl to ambush, then they all attacked Chu Yunsheng together.

However, he didn't expect Chu Yunsheng to be so strong, stronger than he had anticipated. Not only did Chu Yunsheng detect their intentions in advance, but he also silently and effortlessly beheaded the girl with a single sword strike, which terrified them even more!

But since the mask was already torn off, it was like an arrow on the string, ready to be released!

The old man attacked while trying to persuade, "Mr. Chu, we know you are very strong! Even if we can't kill you, we can at least injure you. When you go out, you won't be able to fight the monster! If you hand over your armor and sword, let our people lead the way, maybe we all have a chance to survive!"

Chu Yunsheng coldly snorted, "Dream on!"

He tapped his foot, and his body immediately soared, slicing through the floor. He was going to collapse the floor!

The old man was shocked and shouted, "Brothers, he has already fought six flame monsters today and is exhausted. Don't be afraid. Now is the time to take him out!"

Saying that, the old man personally used his ultimate skill, a large ball of roaring snow and ice, shooting at Chu Yunsheng!

Chu Yunsheng's Qianbi Sword was incredibly sharp, and with his own energy, he effortlessly cut through the floor, skillfully dodging their various attacks. Chu Yunsheng remained calm, knowing that his ultimate enemy was not these awakened warriors but the flame monster outside. He tried to avoid being hit to preserve his strength.

Bang!

The entire floor, under Chu Yunsheng's destruction, finally gave way and crashed down!

Chu Yunsheng thrust his sword upward, shattering the concrete and steel, breaking through! At the same time, he heard the agonized cries of the awakened warriors who were hit by the falling debris!
