Chapter 55: Chapter 55 A Forest Inside The City

With the help of tanks and armored vehicles, Commander Du’s elite team left the crowd and headed towards Jin Ling city. Worrying that he might not be able to catch up with them, Chu Yunsheng took out a motorbike and drove the bike far behind the elite team.

However, soon after they left the crowd, they encountered the first wave of ten red-shelled insects. But this time, they had many weapons and almost forty awakened warriors, so apart from one soldier dead and a number of people injured, they did not suffer heavy losses.

Today was Chu Yunsheng’s lucky day. He didn’t waste any energy, but he got ten red-shelled insects’ bodies. It was enough for him to make one and a half absorption talismans.

On the way, they continued to encounter many waves of insects, luckily, all the waves were small, but it still caused the entire escort group to slow down.

When it was at 20:00, based on the location that was shown on the map, they had finally arrived at Kun city. However, the city in front of them wasn’t a city of concrete buildings, instead, the city was surrounded by many massive plants that they had never seen before.

The concrete buildings were covered with those plants. Strange plants’ roots could be seen everywhere, from the rooftop of many buildings all the way down to the ground, spreading across the street as if they came from other dimensions overnight.

Chu Yunsheng recognized those plants, it was the plants that he saw when he was at a food factory. It was the ones that were not supposed to exist on Earth.

The city was also covered with a strange green fog, there were strange and hazy light sources lingering in the fog, it was very creepy as if the city was a monster waiting for its prey to get in by themselves.

The military’s escort team had stopped before the visible boundary of the fog for some time before they finally decided to go in, so did Chu Yunsheng. He hesitated, but at the end, he still gritted the teeth and followed them into the city.

The city was surrounded by a green fog, but the fog did not seem to be dangerous, at least, his energy shield talisman didn’t have any reaction to it. It just gave people a feeling that they could easily get lost inside.

The noisy crowd was already far away from them, so this creepy forest city was unusually quiet. It constantly gave people a strange ominous feeling.

Some of the plants’ branches were glowing white light, some had unknown fluffy catkins attached to them. When tanks and armored vehicles drove past them, it would easily brush them off those branches.

There were also some plants that had red-colored fruits on top of them. Those fruits looked like strawberries, but the difference was that they were glowing a lurid red light, and their size was as big as a TV.

Looking at those strange plants, Chu Yunsheng almost thought that he had arrived at the insect’s nest!

The road had been covered with the strange plants, even with the help of tanks, they were still moving slowly. The motorbike was too noisy, it would be easily noticed by the military at the front, so Chu Yunsheng stored it back to the storage talisman and started to follow them by foot. Luckily, they were not moving fast, he and Yao Xiang could easily catch up with them.

The whole city looked like it had fallen for thousands of years, all the buildings were covered with thick roots, some plants had even grown from inside of a building to the outside walls through the windows.

The only thing that Chu Yunsheng was familiar with was the broken cars and the bodies that scattered on the ground, their skulls were empty, it meant that they had been attacked by the red-shelled insects. However, Chu Yunsheng has not encountered a single insect since they entered the city.

Chu Yunsheng and Yao Xiang were very nervous as they slowly followed the troop secretly, they were so scared that an insect or other unknown monsters would suddenly jump out from somewhere.

People were afraid of the unknown the most, especially at this time. Although Chu Yunsheng had seen a lot of scary scenes, he also kept his breath slowly and quietly. Leaning against a tree, he watched out for any movements and noises in the surroundings vigilantly.

While the troop was slowly moving into the city, they started to hear some human screams that came from deeper inside the city from time to time, it made everyone’s hair stand on end.

This city was as creepy as hell.

The roads, soon, completely disappeared, It was now completely buried underneath the massive plants. The troop had no choice but to stop and look for an alternative route to go past the area.

Noticing that all their vehicles were stopped at an old hospital, Chu Yunsheng did not know if they were looking for supplies or they were waiting for the scouts that had been sent out to explore the possible routes earlier, to get back to them.

Yao Xiang and Chu Yunsheng both were currently sitting on the root of a red lotus-root-like plant. The plant’s skin was very thin, they could even see strange liquid flowing inside of it.

Behind them was a shop. It seemed to be a real estate agency. On top of the shop, they could vaguely see a few words, ‘… Estate Agency’. The shop’s front window had already been broken by thick roots. Underneath the roots, Chu Yunsheng could still see the posters that had words, ‘House For Sale’ on them.

He secretly took out a cigarette and gave Yao Xiang a bottle of still water. Qian Bi sword was always next to him, because he didn’t want to let his guard down at any moment.

Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream appeared from the place where the troop was staying. Chu Yunsheng signaled Yao Xiang to watch out for the surroundings, and he himself popped out half of his head to check what happened.

“Click! Click!…”

Soldiers immediately released the safety of their guns and aimed the guns at the direction where the scream came from. No one knew what kind of monster would come out the green fog!

Time was ticking, along with people’s hearts jumping nervously. Chu Yunsheng felt very strange, he did not know if it was because of the creepy environment or something else, it made him become more anxious than before.

Soon, two shadows finally appeared in everyone’s sights, one at the front and one at the back. Seeing the troop appear in their sights, the two people were very excited as if the thirsty people saw the pouring rain, their running speed instantly doubled!

At the same time, a grey flat thing also came out the green fog. That thing looked like a piece of cloth, and it was as big as half an adult human, and what was more scary was that it had a red eye.

When it reached one guy from behind, the “cloth” immediately spread out and wrapped the man from his head.

The man’s upper body was tightly wrapped. Everyone could hear that man’s muffled scream.

He was then lifted up by the “cloth”, and no matter how he struggled, he still could not get away. In just a few moments, the top half of his body was turned into red liquid, and then, the rest half of his body fell onto the floor.

A few seconds later, two more “cloth” flew out of the green fog, and caught the guy at the front. The soldiers in the troop immediately started to shoot. Instantly, bullets were like the pouring rain falling onto the “cloth” creatures and the man.

Chu Yunsheng’s fingers trembled uncontrollably. The cigarette in his hand had already dropped onto the ground. ‘what the hell is that?’ With this kind of death, how could he not be scared!

But that thing did not seem to have a strong defence layer like red-shelled insects did. Two of the “cloth” creatures were shot down, only one got through the bullets rain and flew towards a soldier on the armored vehicles.

One of the awakened warriors did not wait for it to reach them, he immediately cast out his fire ability and burned the monster into ashes.

However, they were not relieved. The sounds of gunfire had caused even more problems. There were more and more red eyes slowly appearing in the green fog. Then, Chu Yunsheng heard Commander Du shouted, “retreat!”

Tanks immediately turned left and started to run at its full speed. The awakened warriors with the ice elemental energy started to unleash the frost ability, and the warriors with the fire elemental energy stood next to the machine gunners ready to attack at any time.

Chu Yunsheng felt nervous just by looking at them. But suddenly he felt Yao Xiang tugged him from behind. He instantly turned around, and noticed that Yao Xiang’s finger was pointing upwards. As he looked up, what he saw instantly sent a chill down his spine. There were at least five red eyes staring down at them.

He immediately lifted the sword, and jumped up with the sword pointing upwards. He needed to kill those “cloth” creatures as fast as he could, and he needed to do it as quietly as possible. Because the fight might alert the troop and attract more “cloth” creatures.

The defence of the “cloth” monster was not strong. Chu Yunsheng’s sword could easily cut through its body. One of the “cloth” monsters tried to wrap Qian Bi sword and his arm, but Chu Yunsheng immediately unleashed Yuan Qi from the sword to rip it into pieces.

The rest of “cloth” also quickly dived towards him, and their speed was extremely fast. Chu Yunsheng was worried that his movements might attract other people’s attention, so he was afraid to dodge the attack. He could only quickly swing the sword to slice two of the “cloth” monsters into halves. But then his head was quickly wrapped by one of them.

After Chu Yunsheng was caught, the cloth monster immediately released a strange gas, it instantly triggered the energy shield talisman to defend him.

Maybe Chu Yunsheng was too nervous or maybe he panicked, he felt like he couldn’t breathe after he was caught. While in panic, he wanted to use his hands to grab and pull the “cloth” monster away from him in panic, but he failed!

Out of desperation, he used Qian Bi sword to slice the “cloth” monster from its back while the monster was still on his face.
