Chapter 16

Translator: Doggotranslation Editor: Doggotranslation

The battles between humans usually attracted at least one or two red-shelled insects. Chu Yunsheng couldn’t stop those people nor red-shelled insects, all he was able to do was to kill the insects as fast as he could.

By pulling the rope that was tied to the roof, Chu Yunsheng quickly swung towards the crowd. A Frost Arrow pierced through the air and embedded straight into the red-shelled insect’s shell without any resistance. The insect was completely frozen together with the arrows.

He swung toward the red-shelled insect, reached out his other hand, and grabbed the end of the frozen arrow. With Yuan Qi immediately gushing out his hand, he lifted the insect by the end of the arrow, swung over the crowd, and arrived at the nearby roof with the help from the tension of the rope.

The crowd suddenly stopped crying and screaming. All the torchlights were shined at Chu Yunsheng’s back. What they saw was a lone gray view of his back and the mysterious crossbow that hung there.

No one knew who he was!

No one knew where he came from!

He seemed mysterious and powerful, but never landed!

He came alone and left alone.

All he took away were the dying red insects!

So the rumors about him gradually spread in the Eastern District of Shen Cheng city.

The horror city started to create more and more powerful people, many people were talking about it. Chu Yunsheng was only occasionally mentioned among those people, and most of the time he was silently hunting for red-shelled insects in the desolate streets.

Chu Yunsheng had also heard some of these rumors. There were two people that were the most talked about. The first person was in the army, known as “The Steel Beast”. According to the rumors, he could kill a single red-shelled insect simply with a punch. Chu Yunsheng really wanted to know how many punches could this person throw in one breath?

Another was said to be the government’s security adviser called “The Ice King”. This person’s ability was quite similar to Chu Yunsheng’s Frost Arrow. The only difference was that The Ice King could freeze a large number of Red-shelled insects instantly.

Standing on the roof of a three-story high building, Chu Yunsheng thought, “If I killed a sufficient number of red-shelled insects, I would be able to create combat armor. At that time I may not be weaker than those people!”

Recently, the more red-shelled insects he killed, the more of them would appear. But he had no clue where they all came from. Moreover, it became harder and harder to encounter just one single red-shelled insect as time went by. It made him very frustrated.

If he killed enough insects, then he would not need to hide and only hunt for single red-shelled Insects anymore! Staring at the pig’s brain outside in the street, Chu Yunsheng thought. That was his bait, but it seemed like it had failed to attract any insects today.

He has waited here for a while already, and his body started to become stiff slightly. He had heard from the people who passed by, saying that the temperature now seemed to have stopped declining. But strangely he still felt unusually cold.

“I should get something to eat!” Chu Yunsheng touched his cold belly and told himself. Recently he had only been able to eat bread and biscuits, so today he decided to eat something hot.

This three-story high building used to be a luxury restaurant. He didn’t spend much time before finding a kitchen on the first floor. All of the cooking equipment was still there, they just were not in the right places. Someone must have come here before him. Anything that could be considered edible was already gone.

But it didn’t matter, Chu Yunsheng already had ingredients. Lighting up the camping stove, Chu Yunsheng started to prepare for the meal. The environment he was in didn’t allow him to do many things, so he was only able to make a hot-pot.

Beef, bok choy, noodles, even some tofu were all mixed together, causing the air to become filled with the aroma of food.

This was probably the best meal Chu Yunsheng has had recently. Although he stored plenty of food, he had neither the time or the skill to cook often.

With the hot bok choy and beef in his stomach, his body started to warm up steadily. He felt so comfortable that he even shivered a bit. It has truly been that long since the last time he had a warm meal.

It was just an ordinary meal, but it became a luxury need in this kind of environment.

“Huh? Did Someone just come in?” Chu Yunsheng swallowed a piece of beef quickly before he picked up the crossbow. The pot had at least half of the food unfinished, so he was reluctant to leave it.

Soon a group of students appeared in his view first, they were staring directly at his half pot of beef. They were followed by a group of men and women holding various weapons. They were also looking at his half pot of beef.

The luxury restaurant’s kitchen was not that big, but suddenly it became crowded with so many people inside.

Chu Yunsheng held the crossbow, dazed at them for a long time. Then he pointed at the half pot of beef instinctively and said in an awkward tone. “... This is mine.”

“Not anymore!” a burly man said casually. The man was bald, and his face carried a long, red-colored scar, looking very aggressive. He used the machete he was holding to tap the stove a few times, making everyone shiver uncontrollably.

“Oh?” Chu Yunsheng snorted with indifference. He may have been soft-hearted and timid, but he hated the feeling of someone putting pressure on him.

He might have given it to them if they had swallowed their pride and asked. Since he had quite a lot of food, he wouldn’t have minded giving a little to them.

But if you forced him, then he would become rather surly. Also, he was no longer a frail, white-collar worker. Chu Yunsheng knitted his eyebrows and said, “You can try!”

This man laughed aloud as if he had just heard some kind of joke. With a machete pointed at his group, he said, “Young man, don’t be stupid! You only have a crossbow, you can only shoot one arrow, and it’s over! We have these multitudes of people. You can’t win!”

“Oh really?! Who said I am going to shoot them? I just need to kill you!” Chu Yunsheng said it slowly.

The man growled angrily. He then made a hand gesture to signal someone in his group and said, “You’ve got balls, Si Mei, show this man what we’ve got!”

“Bang!” The sound of a gunshot suddenly rang out without any warning.

Originally, Chu Yunsheng thought that they were just bluffing, but he did not expect that they would actually try to shoot him!

He had always been active in the front line of killing the insects, so he had rarely been involved in any human fights for supplies. In his subconscious, people still behaved the same way as they had behaved in the age of light. People would kill each other just because they had some disagreement was something he did not expect.

If Diao Dingguo were here, he would have definitely cursed this man and called him a fool. Because he had already known how powerful Chu Yunsheng was. But unfortunately, he was not here.

Nobody had a clue who this young man was. They only knew that a person who could prepare a pot of beef soup should have a lot of food, so killing and looting him was the only thing that came to their minds.

“Ding!” As the bullet fell onto the ground, the whole room was instantly plunged into silence, and the atmosphere grew heavy.

Si Mei had never seen anyone, who was able to block her bullets, even more so since she had awakened.

She was slightly surprised when Chu Yunsheng just stood there unmoving, but her bullet was stopped. However, It did not scare her at all. In her mind, Chu Yunsheng was just a person, who had awakened their defensive abilities. She had seen this type of person before, and she had even killed one!

Her first bullet did not contain any elemental energy, so If her opponent was a self-awakened human, blocking this type of bullet was completely normal.

So she sneered, “Since you stopped the first one, then try to stop this!” She suddenly infused her maximum fire elemental energy into the second shot without a moment of hesitation.

Chu Yunsheng had not reacted until the second shot.

He was absolutely furious!

‘Those bastards, why would you kill me for just a pot of beef?! Am I not even worth more than a half pot of beef!?’

He didn’t care about bullets, the energy shield talisman would stop this type of attack. He just immediately infused his Yuan Qi into the crossbow and pulled the trigger. They were going to kill him, so of course, he would show no mercy!

“Whoosh!”

Frost Arrow flew out with a terrifying, freezing air. That bald man was already prepared to defend himself from Chu Yunsheng’s attack, he had already made up his mind to take the damage. This would give Si Mei enough time to fire the shot.

But he was wrong, terribly wrong. He had chosen the wrong man to mess with. But, sometimes if you made a mistake, there was no chance to correct it.

Just when Chu Yunsheng’s Frost Arrow flew out of the crossbow, Si Mei’s Flaming Bullet already reached him. The small kitchen suddenly acquired two different zones of freezing coldness and burning heat.

The bald man was without a doubt instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. If he was not a self-awakened human then he would be a dead man. The power of Frost Arrow couldn’t be stopped by a normal human being.

Si Mei’s Flaming Bullet accurately hit Chu Yunsheng’s chest. She had aimed the bullet at where the heart was. But the Flaming Bullet failed to penetrate his body and incinerate everything like Si Mei had imagined, instead it was just a small spark.

The space in front of Chu Yunsheng was slightly distorted, then the spark was extinguished.

“No! No way! It is absolutely impossible! How can it be?”

Si Mei simply couldn’t understand what happened. Her bullets could even penetrate the red -shelled insect’s shell; How could it not break this person’s defense!? It did not even burn his clothes!
