37 Chapter 37 Who was that girl

Translator: Doggotranslation

Chu Yunsheng told Yu Xiaohai that if he did not come back in one hour, he didn't need to wait for him anymore.

He only hoped that the armor would be strong enough to endure the five red-shelled insects' frenzy attacks.

The light was still very dim and hazy outside, Yu Xiaohai couldn't see anything on the street from the fifth floor. Chu Yunsheng had to turn on his flashlight to show where he was.

But if he switched on the light in the dark, he would not be able to dodge the insects' attacks so easily, and all the insects would flock towards him.

He took three deep breaths in a row, then he switched on the flashlight that had been tied to his shoulders. He jumped out from a corner and landed on top of a car.

The red-shelled insects instantly noticed him. Without a single second of hesitation, they rushed towards Chu Yunsheng. Chu Yunsheng shouted out loud as if he was trying to encourage himself, or maybe he was trying to remind Yu Xiaohai.

He was surrounded right after the Qian bi sword hacked one of the insects. They all raised their razor-shaped legs, fiercely slicing down from Chu Yunsheng's head, causing the armor to make ear-piercing scratching sounds constantly.

Despite having the armor as protection, when taking the damage from four red-shelled insects at the same time, it was still too much for his body to handle. The sharp pains appeared everywhere in his body.

Just when he was about to be pinched by one of the red-shelled insects, he gathered all his strength and jumped over the red-shelled insects. At the same time, the frost arrow that Chu Yunsheng had been waiting for a long time finally arrived, instantly freezing one of the red-shelled insects.

Now was the time to retreat. But he still needed to attract the red-shelled insects' attention. He had to make sure that they wouldn't look for the place where Yu Xiaohai was hiding. Otherwise, Yu Xiaohai would be dead for sure!

Because of the red-shelled insects' attacks, some areas on the armor started to have cracks, but Chu Yunsheng didn't have time to check how bad the cracks were, he was running on the street and the three angry red-shelled insects were closely chasing behind him.

The race between a human and three red-shelled insects instantly broke out.

Chu Yunsheng completely utilized the advantage of his relatively small body. He was much agiler compared to the insects when running through the gaps between the cars that were blocking on the street. Sometimes he even went into some buildings and broke out of the windows from the other side of those buildings.

Three red-shelled insects closely followed him. They had already passed two groups of people. But it seemed like the red-shelled insects were enraged by Chu Yunsheng so much that they didn't even bother to touch other people. They still chased Chu Yunsheng continuously without any sign of stopping. Of course, this terrifying chasing scene also scared people away, no one had the courage to find out what was going on. 

Chu Yunsheng lured the insects far away from Yu Xiaohai. So far, everything worked out as planned. It didn't take much time for Chu Yunsheng to arrive at the building complex where he had tied a rope to.

He quickly ran upstairs. The insects also followed him into the building.

He still had six units of Yuan Qi, but he couldn't use it. Even though he could use them to kill three red-shelled insects easily, he still did not want to use them.

He was panting when he reached the roof. But he couldn't stop, because the three red-shelled insects were just right behind him. One of the red-shelled insect's claws almost pinched his butt!

He quickly pounced on the rope that he had left on the roof and jumped off the building!

He swung through the gaps between two building complexes and crashed into the glass windows of the opposite building. Three red-shelled insects couldn't do anything but keep howling non-stop on the roof as if we were furious that Chu Yunsheng had escaped.

Chu Yunsheng believed that insects were intelligent. When he saw an insect climbing up a building wall the first time, he knew for sure that those monsters were not stupid. So even if the insects were still on the other side of the building, he still should not let his guard down. He quickly ran down the stairs and left the place as fast as he could.

The insects did not take the original route down. They tried to climb down the building from the outside wall. Although it was not as fast as their rushing speed on the street, Chu Yunsheng still did not dare to stay there. While the insects were still on the wall, he quickly disappeared into the dark.

He did not know if the insects would go back to the high street or not, but he definitely needed to go back to collect two red-shelled insects' bodies.

The Yuan Qi inside a red-shelled insect would slowly dissipate after it died, so Chu Yunsheng was running as fast as he could.

When he came back to the high street, two red-shelled insects were still there. One was still frozen, and the other one was hacked to death. He quickly used his sword to cut off the frozen one's head and then stored two of them in a storage talisman.

Time was ticking, Chu Yunsheng didn't even take time to rest, he just ran up to the fifth floor where Yu Xiaohai was hiding straightaway. He needed to make one absorption talisman as soon as possible.

Originally, he had planned to make one before he left the hotel, but he was worried that if anything happened on the road, he would not be able to escape if he was exhausted with Yuan Qi. So for his safety, he chose the more secure way, he felt that at any time, protecting his life was the most important thing.

As Chu Yunsheng was running upstairs, two shadows suddenly appeared in his night vision goggles. He couldn't help but be worried that something might have happened to Yu Xiaohai.

He carefully lurked up to the fifth floor. This building was originally an electronic appliances mall. The counters for commercial products had been scattered all over the place. When he just pushed the door open, he immediately heard Yu Xiaohai nervously shouted, "Who is it?"

Chu Yunsheng was instantly relieved. "Me!" He responded.

Yu Xiaohai walked out from the darkness and turned on the flashlight. He then noticed the slightly broken armor. "Are you injured?" He asked with concern.

Chu Yunsheng shook his head. "No, don't worry, we need to go now."

However, Yu Xiaohai did not move, "Brother Chu, that girl followed us here." He paused for a second and told Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yunsheng was confused, "What girl?"

Yu Xiaohai explained, "The one we saved by mistake!"

Chu Yunsheng was surprised, "How the hell did she get here, why was she following us?"

Yu Xiaohai approached him and whispered to him, "We will talk about this later, do you know who she is?"

Chu Yunsheng didn't have time for chit-chat, he said impatiently, "I don't have time for a guessing game!"

Yu Xiaohai walked back and brought out the girl, his hand was also holding a poster. The poster was then opened up next to the girl. He seemed to be very excited, "Take a look at this."

Chu Yunsheng's flashlight was already destroyed by the insects, so he took over the flashlight from Yu Xiaohai and took a brief look, "New year sci-fi blockbuster movie: Dark age? What the fuck is this?" Chu Yunsheng was slightly annoyed.

Yu Xiaohai pointed at a person on the poster, "Take a look here."

"Hmm... does look alike..." Said Chu Yunsheng. Then he suddenly realized that it was not the time to have this kind of conversation, "What the hell you are trying to say, we are running out of time, stick to the point!" He raised his voice.

Yu Xiaohai was upset by his reaction, he let out a long sigh, "Chu Yunsheng, she is Lin Shuiyao. Don't you recognize her!"

Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows, "Who is Lin Shuiyao? Your new girlfriend?"
