Chu Yunsheng was so excited that he couldn’t even sleep. Finally, he didn’t need to wait for two years to reach Yuan Tian stage two. His only objective right now was to kill two hundred and forty-three Red-shelled insects.

But he must also be proactive. He needed to walk out of his room, walk into the darkness, and look for the single monsters that did not stay in the swarm, and then kill them and absorb their Yuan Qi.

He prepared one new absorption talisman, one pistol, one folding crossbow with arrows, and one sword, which had been enchanted with Shen Bing talisman.

Even with this amount of weapon, Chu Yunsheng was still worried, so he made one energy shield talisman in addition to those items. After he finished all the preparation, ten days had already passed.

Finding those Red-shelled insects wasn’t difficult. From time to time, frightening screams could be heard from afar, as well as the sounds of gunshots and rocket firing. No matter which one, it clearly indicated that there was a presence of those Red-shelled insects. With Chu Yunsheng’s ability right now, it was best to attack those that fail to stay in a group. If he encountered a swarm, all he could do was run.

He gave up the idea of taking advantage of the areas that the army and those insects were fighting. Those areas usually had a lot of insects, it was very dangerous. Also, the way he absorbed Yuan Qi from a Red-shelled insect was very strange to ordinary people. He didn’t want to be taken away by the army, just like what happened to the Ice-Punch man.

His objective right now was to find one or two red-shelled insects, but definitely not more than three of them. Because if his energy shield talisman couldn’t shield him from three or more red-shelled insects’ speedy attacks or protect him from those corrosive secretions, he would be killed before he even had time to regret his decision.

In the past ten days, people, who lived in the building NO.8, were struggling to live. Food was getting less day by day, and it forced everyone to start talking about relocation, evacuation or staying where they were until the army took back control of the city. The arguments often ended up with people fighting each other.

Many people sighed in despair when they saw Chu Yunsheng walking out of his flat at this time. But no one bothered to ask. Many people were starving. In the past few days, some people, who could not bear the hunger any longer, had gone out looking for some food. However, a lot of them never came back again. They all thought Chu Yunsheng was this type of person as well.

After arriving at a secluded corner, Chu Yunsheng took out a motorbike from his Storage talisman. When he bought the motorbike, he had also taken many things into consideration. He thought that in case the motorbike broke down in the future, it would be much easier for him to find the replacement parts if he bought the most common type of motorbike. Therefore, the brand of his motorbike was very popular during the Age of Light.

He then took out a black helmet that had a pair of night vision goggles attached on it, and put it on. After checking the surroundings, he drove the motorbike into the darkness, and quickly headed towards the nearest place where the screams came from.

Shen Cheng City was surrounded by darkness. It was no longer like the famous night city it used to be. Occasionally, there were lights passing by quickly in the streets like ghosts wandering in a dead city. All the buildings were covered in darkness and standing silently on both sides of streets as if they were the man-eaters.

Chu Yunsheng soon arrived at the place where the screams came from. But he could only find a headless half body and an empty skull near a utility pole. The internal organs and blood were scattered everywhere, it made him feel a qualm of sickness.

‘The monster should not have gone too far,’ He got off his motorbike and thought.

Holding a crossbow against a building wall, he moved slowly towards another street. The night vision goggles he bought from the black market were the 4th generation night vision goggles. It had the most advanced night vision technology in the world. Such products were tightly controlled in the country, so he could not get it from regular stores.

In order to cope with the darkness during the Dark Age, Chu Yunsheng was also equipped with an infrared radiation device. It was probably because of the monster’s energy shield, they could not be seen through the night vision goggles. Therefore, he must rely on the surrounding glares and reflections to find them. But if he was in a completely dark area, the infrared radiation device was the only way to detect the insects.

He moved from one corner to another corner. While he was looking for a single red-shelled insect, he occasionally met some people running on the streets in panic. But he hadn’t encountered a single monster. ‘I am probably the only one in the world that is hoping to meet those Insects!’ Chu Yunsheng thought sarcastically.

Just as he was getting ready to leave the area, a piercing scream came from a building near him followed by a burst of noisy and panicked cries.

Chu YunSheng’s heart started to beat intensely. He lurked quickly towards the building and then took a quick look at a big hole on a window in the second floor of the building. The situation wasn’t very clear from his location, but the infrared imaging device showed that there were movements on the fifth or sixth floor of this building. However, it was blocked by the walls so he could not see it very clearly.

After taking a deep breath, he started to climb up the wall. The energy shield that was cast onto him had increased his physical strength, coupled with the uneven surface of the wall, he successfully got into the second floor through the hole on the window.

Along the way, he was extremely careful. Because of the walls, his visibility was limited, he didn’t know how many insects were there, so he had to be cautious. He must prevent any accidents from happening.

Screams and cries came and went in the quiet night, it was very unnerving.

Chu Yunsheng followed the sounds all the way to the fifth floor. This time, he could clearly see that there were about six people and one red-shelled insect. Two or three bodies were lying on the ground. The red-shelled insect probably thought that they had nowhere else to run, so it was not in a hurry. It was just slowly sucking the brains out of those three corpses that were lying on the ground one by one.

Those, who were still alive, were forced to stay in a corner. They curled up together, screamed desperately from time to time. Chu Yunsheng could not see their expressions clearly through the wall, even with help of night vision goggles. But he was certain that those people must be horrified, it was just like when he saw the red-shelled insect the first time.

Suddenly, the red-shelled insect threw away an empty skull, and started to glance at every single one of them as if it was thinking which one had the most delicious brain.

The group suddenly realized what was going to happen, and all stopped screaming. No one wanted to die. This disgusting monster might leave if it was stuffed. Everyone was thinking exactly the same thing.

Soon, the red-shelled insect’s greedy eyes stopped at a delicate-looking girl. Being stared at by the monster, the girl felt like she suddenly fell into hell. Fear, despair, fright, all types of feelings emerged from her mind all at once. She cried and hugged a middle-aged man’s arm tightly.

“No, no, not me, not me! ...” she begged.

The people around her felt both sympathy for her and fortunate for themselves. That kind of complex and contradictory emotions appeared all over their faces.

She looked at the middle-aged man with hope, but only found out that the man, who had once given her promises, was now trying to avoid eye contact with her. He was even trying to wrest his arm away from her tight hug.

She gave up her hope. At that moment, her heart died, and she finally accepted her fate, her death. As the monster moved forward slowly, she closed her eyes.

Suddenly, she felt that she was pushed away, and when she opened her eyes, she noticed that there was a man standing in front of her. It was the young man, who had once said that he loved her but had been refused heartlessly by her.

Feeling the girl he loved was looking at him, the young man turned to her with a simple smile. In the dim torchlight, that smile was so desolate and touching!

Tears slowly ran down from her delicate face. It was like time was stopped at this moment. However, the insect did not stop moving, it did not care about those human’s romantic behavior. As long as someone was willing to come out and become its food, it was happy.

The young man looked at the monster’s bloody mouth that moved slowly towards him with determination, while grasping the girl’s hand tightly. Death was right in front of him, but he did seem to be scared.

Everyone was looking at the young man with their eyes wide open in shock. Some of them were touched, some though the young man was stupid. Despite having different kinds of thoughts, there was one thing that they all agreed on, that was, this young man was a dead man.

However, surprisingly, the monster’s bloody mouth did not bite. Instead, it suddenly turned around rapidly. It could even be described as turning around in panic.

Then an arrow with an extremely cold frost pierced through the monster’s shield instantly. It was shot violently into the insect’s body!

The red-shelled insect did not even have time to make any sound. It was surrounded by the frost instantly and became an ice sculpture!

Everything happened so suddenly, it was also so creepy that the monster was still maintaining a turning posture!

All six people’s brains almost stopped working. This scene was completely beyond the scope of their understanding!

Soon, in the direction where the arrow came from, a man in a grey coat with a strange helmet on his head and a crossbow in his hand, appeared.
