Chapter 19: Chapter 19

“Please stand up!” Chu Yunsheng went back to his seat and asked. “Do you know where exactly it is inside the hospital?”

Hearing Chu Yunsheng asked, the female teacher said excitedly, “are you going?”

Chu Yunsheng smiled. “Yes, but you need to tell me the exact location first. I don’t know the area very well.”

Hearing his answer, the students immediately burst into cheers. They all high-fived each other excitedly, “Yeah!”

“Uncle, I know you are going to help us. you are a good man!” a brave junior high school girl came forward and said to Chu Yunsheng with a sweet smile.

“Xiao Xue is saved!”

“What uncle?” Chu Yunsheng didn’t realize it at first. But now he felt very awkward. He wasn’t that old, was he? He thought.

You couldn’t really blame those students, because Chu Yunsheng was wearing the night vision goggles all day. No one knew what he looked like. So calling him Uncle was pretty normal.

However, Chu Yunsheng didn’t have the time nor the mood to correct them. He just urged the female teacher, “do you know it or not? Also, I don’t know which drug you need and which you don’t.”

After being reminded several times, the female teacher quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I was too excited, you don’t need to worry about the pharmacy’s location, my father used to work there, but when the insects appeared, he… Anyway, just take me there, I know where it is!”

“No, you can not go in. It is very dangerous there, and I’ll not be able to protect you!” Chu Yunsheng refused straight away. Was she joking! In this level of fight, taking one more normal person with him was equivalent to suicide.

Chu Yunsheng thought for a moment and said, “draw the floor plan, I can go in by myself.”

The female teacher also knew that if she went with him, she would only become Chu Yunsheng’s burden, so she didn’t argue. She took the paper that Chu Yunsheng passed to her, quickly drew the location of the pharmacy, and wrote down the names of the drugs as well.

After she drew the floor plan, she circled two specific places on the plan. One was the counter that sold the regular drugs, the other was the hospital’s drug storage room, which had a security door. It could be a problem, but Chu Yunsheng believed that with the help of his enchanted sword, it could be solved fairly quickly.

After leaving the restaurant, Chu Yunsheng followed the map that the female teacher had drawn and headed towards the hospital.

He first chose a building on the other side of the street outside the hospital and used the night vision goggles to take a closer look at the hospital. However, he didn’t really trust the night vision goggles. It was only useful when walking in the dark. But when it comes to detecting insects, it wasn’t very reliable.

“Three insects.” Through the night vision goggles, Chu Yunsheng could see three red-shelled insects. He tried to calm himself down before he started to sense the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the area. This time, he did not find anything strange like the last time when he was outside Hualian supermarket, so he was 90% sure that there were only three of them!

But how to get into the hospital became a problem. This community hospital had a total of two entrances, one at the front and one at the back. The route that the three red-shelled insects wandered was not fixed. Regardless of which side he tried to get in, he would definitely be noticed by one of them, then the rest of them would quickly rush towards him.

Suddenly, Chu Yunsheng tapped his forehead. He could forget that he could just lure the insects out!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt how great his idea was. There was a mini passenger van parked in front of the hospital’s main entrance. It was a nine-seater van. He could hide in there.

‘Okay, here we go!’

Without making much effort, Chu Yunsheng got into the mini passenger van from the broken windows in the front seat smoothly. This was an old Gold Cup brand MPV, the window could be manually rolled down. He pulled out his crossbow, and checked the distance. It was just about right. When he was in the building earlier, he had already estimated that it would be too far for the crossbow to be able to hit anything if he was in the building, that was why he needed to get into this van.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down. This was the first time he took the initiative to attack three red-insects!

The closest one soon appeared in his sight. It suddenly stopped, and looked in his direction. He pulled the trigger immediately without any hesitation.

Target hit!

The other two heard the noise and quickly rushed towards him. He knew how bad his aim was, so he didn’t try to use the crossbow again. Instead, he planned to use the pistol. The gun could shoot more than once, at least one of the bullets could slow down the insects.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!…” A total of fifteen rounds of bullets consumed about two units of Yuan Qi. Chu Yunsheng emptied the clip in one go. But the insects had already jumped on the top of the MPV. At the moment it was trying to destroy the van!

Out of the fifteen rounds of bullets, only one or two hit the insect. He suddenly realized how lucky he was when he was in the Hualian supermarket.

The insect hit by the bullets only had minor injuries, it was still very strong.

Corrosive secretions quickly penetrated the van from the top, but it bounced off the energy shield. Chu Yunsheng suddenly found that he had made a serious mistake. He originally planned to shoot an arrow first and then fire the pistol, but he had forgotten that he was inside a van right now, he could’ve just used the van as cover and waited until the insect got near, then started to shoot the pistol. In that way, the chance of hitting the insects would be much higher.

It seemed that his actual combat experience was still not enough, the number of sneak attacks could not help him get such experiences at all.

But regret would not change anything, so he quickly reloaded the pistol while the insect was still trying to break into the van.

The van was completely out of shape under the insect’s attack. The insects’ razor-sharp legs made many holes on the roof of the van. Through the giant hole made by the insects’ corrosive secretions, Chu Yunsheng saw that they were about to jump in.

“Bang!… Bang!”

Through the big hole, Chu Yunsheng aimed the gun at an insect’s belly. One unit of Yuan Qi was quickly consumed by the bullets. Luckily all the bullets hit the insect, and it instantly caught on fire. It screamed while swinging its claw back and forth and then retreated.

Another insect finally broke into the van, pinched Chu Yunsheng’s body and dragged him out of the van.

With the energy shield talisman’s protection, the insect could not easily cut him into half, but even with this, Chu Yunsheng still felt as if his internal organs had been squeezed together. It was extremely painful and blood started to come out of his mouth.

Although his right hand was still holding the pistol, it was tightly pinched by the insect’s claw. The insect was pulling and dragging, trying to dismember him. There was a moment Chu Yunsheng felt as if his whole arm had been ripped apart by the insect.

Chu Yunsheng had to use his left hand to pull out the sword, and stabbed towards the insect’s head. However the same luck didn’t happen twice, and the insect also did not give him the opportunity to pierce the sword into its mouth. The one unit of Yuan Qi that he had used into the sword became useless.

So far, he has used five units of his Yuan Qi. He had frozen one insect, and another one was currently on fire, but he did not know if it was dead. The last one he could not kill, but the insect also could not do anything to him, it was a stalemate.

Chu Yunsheng was very anxious. He needed to kill this insect as soon as possible. Once the frozen one broke out of the ice, or the one that was on fire slightly recovered, the energy shield talisman he had would not be able to defend against two red-shelled insects’ attacks at the same time.

“What weapons do I have?” Chu Yunsheng tried to calm himself down, he used Yuan Qi to activate storage talisman to look for something that he could use!

Corrosive secretions; he had done an experiment before, it was completely useless to use it against the insect.

Red-shelled insect’s legs, it was the same, useless;

Pig’s brain useless…

Pig’s intestines! What a mess!

…

Wait!

Pig’s brain! He did not know what would happen if he threw it at the red-shelled insect. But that was its favorite food, even if it was just distracted by it a little bit, he could find a way to get out its claw, then he would have a chance!

Yes, he still had Li Huo talisman. That was a level three talisman activated by the ancient book, it must be very powerful. It had been a long time, that he almost forgot its existence! Thinking of Li Huo talisman, Chu Yunsheng was not so nervous now.

He took out the pig’s brain first, used all his strength, and smashed it onto the red-shelled insect’s head. After that, he quickly gathered all his Yuan Qi, and waited for the moment when it would be distracted by the pig’s brain. Then he would be free!

Although the pig’s brain was not fresh, it was still an authentic pig’s brain, the insect’s instinct started to react. It paused for a second as if it was thinking which one it should eat first.

This was the moment that he had been waiting for! Chu Yunsheng immediately filled the sword with Yuan Qi and stuck it in between the claws. He roared loudly while using all his strength to force the claw open. And while enduring the pain that came through from his right hand, he quickly pulled back his arm, and then aimed the pistol at the red-shelled insect’s head. The last bullet, consuming one unit of Yuan Qi, instantly flew out of the pistol’s chamber.
