Chapter 78

“Commander, are we really going to do this?” Staff Officer Tao said with hesitation.

“Do we have other choices? Lao Tao, we can’t rely on those people. We can’t kill the flaming monster either! So we have to give him up!” Commander Du sighed.

“But Capt. Ban...” he seemed to be very concerned.

“It’s not his position to make any decisions. The only important thing is to protect those scientists!” Commander Du interrupted him.

...

The flaming monster was on high alert, it noticed Chu Yunsheng straight away before Chu Yunsheng even approached the middle of the giant plant. Then it instantly dived down at him like a fighter jet.

Chu Yunsheng turned around immediately. No matter what happened next, his plan was to save as much energy as possible. Behind him, the flaming monster was chasing closely.

Ban Shijun and other people seized the opportunity and immediately climbed up the plant.

Since the last three encounters with the flaming monster, he has become even more experienced than before. He was no longer running away in a straight line. Sometimes, he would even use the roots or buildings to his advantages.

He was buying time, both for himself and other people.

A second passed; two seconds passed... Finally, those awakened warriors reached the top of the strange plant and started to destroy the core.

“Boom!”

After a loud explosion.

The last fog core finally exploded, then the whole ground suddenly shook violently like there was an earthquake!

The crowd burst into cheers!

The fog walls seemed to have lost its energy, and it started to slowly dissipate until it completely disappeared. The unknown strange liquid in some of the giant plant’s transparent roots started to flow rapidly.

Even Chu Yunsheng, who was still busy running, could still feel the powerful and tenacious vitality inside those roots.

The professors have studied this kind of plant before, they suspected that the giant plants in Kun city were all connected together, and they had an incredible life energy and healing ability. Once the fog cores were all destroyed, if they couldn’t escape the city on time, those plants would be able to heal the fog cores, then everything would be back to its original status.

Seeing the fog walls disappear, Chu Yunsheng immediately went around a giant red root, leading the flaming monster straight back to them!

Seeing the monster returned, the cheerful crowd instantly became silent.

Chu Yunsheng has already endured the flaming monster’s attack almost ten times. His back armor had already melted a layer, but he still didn’t want to attack the flaming monster because he was scared that the attack would provoke the flaming monster, then it would lock on him, so he just kept running. Luckily, the energy shield could still protect his body.

The crowd only paused less than a second, then Ban Shijun shouted, “brothers, ready to engage, let’s kill this monster!”

However, all the awakened warriors behind him had already run away within a split second, no one wanted to fight this monster!

“Captain! Quick, let’s go, it’s the commander’s order!” two military awakened warriors immediately dragged him and jumped off the root.

Ban Shijun was struggling while being dragged down by two other soldiers, his face was filled with shame, “how could we do this, how could we... It’s our Comrades... Is it really the right thing to do?...”

Even Chu Yunsheng had expected that this would happen, it still pissed him off.

‘Since you broke your words, then don’t blame me for doing this.’

Chu Yunsheng did not slow down at all, his feet kicked on a root and leaped towards the group that was nearest to him.

“Fuck! There are so many people, why are you following me?” A fire elemental warrior cursed when he saw Chu Yunsheng was running towards him. At the same time, he also speeded up.

Unfortunately, compared to the flaming monster and Chu Yunsheng, he was just like a man who worked slowly. The fire elemental warrior only felt a light flashed by, and when he realized what happened, it was already too late. The blistering fire swept over the ground and swallowed him. His head was burned to ashes before he even had a chance to scream!

The flaming monster was only slowed down a little bit, but it was already enough for Chu Yunsheng to pass several people, he did not dare to turn around, he just kept running forward!

The flaming monster became excited after several horrible shrieks. It started flying around without any patterns, killing anyone it could see.

At this moment, Chu Yunsheng finally caught up with the main awakened warrior’s force, “he is doing it on purpose, everyone spread out!” a man shouted after he saw Chu Yunsheng and heard several horrible shrieks.

Chu Yunsheng sneered secretly, ‘I am indeed doing it on purpose, now let’s see who runs faster!’

People with faster speed would try to outrun others, but people who ran slower only hoped that the flaming monster would chase other people, not them.

Chu Yunsheng took a sharp turn, while still maintaining his speed. He did not have a specific direction, whichever the direction had more people, he would run towards that direction.

The horrible shrieks appeared one after the other, the flaming monster dived into the crowd like the Grim Reaper, and people started to die rapidly. The screams caused by the burning fire were even more horrifying than other screams!

The fog walls had already disappeared, but there wasn’t any exit like what the professors said. It was just a lie that Du Qishan gave to them to keep them in one place.

It was a trap, a fucking lie!

The military tanks and infantry fighting vehicles that carried all the scientists had already driven out and headed towards the western suburb of Kun city quickly.

Chu Yunsheng finally got rid of the flaming monster’s chase. He immediately started to run and headed towards the outside city.

However, it wasn’t long until he noticed that there was another group of people running back to him in panic.

Chu Yunsheng dazed for a second, then he saw another flaming monster coming towards them.

One at the front, one at the back, he was blocked in the middle.

He looked around, and immediately rushed into a building on his right-hand side. No matter what happened, he needed to get through this first, and then seek another opportunity to run away.

Seeing another flaming monster was killing another group at the end of the street, the people running back all stopped, and shortly after, they all started to follow Chu Yunsheng.

But the building wasn’t safe. When Chu Yunsheng was about to get out through the window at the back of the building, he instantly noticed that the second flaming monster seemed to have locked on them. It was wheeling in the sky above the building. Once he got out, it would most likely dive down at him. Even if he could get away with the first attack, he still did not want to be chased by this monster!

The flaming monster was big. So it could not get into the building for the time being. It made Chu Yunsheng feel slightly relieved. But it was not long until the monster started to use its ability to attack the building. Everyone could hear the scary cracking sounds from inside the building.

Chu Yunsheng forced himself to calm down, especially during this time, he could not afford to panic.

He looked around and noticed that the group of awakened warriors that followed him into the building, were the first batch of recruit. It was led by the skinny old man, who questioned Chu Yunsheng’s ability from the beginning. They did not seem to have lost anyone. In fact, their group became even bigger, it seemed like they had a dozen people now.
