Chapter 63 Model Building
Hit by the ice arrow formed by pure energy, the man's body swayed a bit. Although the freezing effect was not fully exerted, it still gave the two red-eyed monsters an opportunity to attack. They flew down and tightly wrapped his upper body. He exhausted his fire energy and tore one open. His body was already bloody. The other one pounced on him again without hesitation. This time he was no longer able to resist. Not long after, his upper body turned into blood.
After successfully ambushing one person, Chu Yunsheng continued to pull the bowstring and shoot. His archery skills were not good and he often missed. Fortunately, the battle below was in full swing and no one cared about his ice arrows shooting in vain.
After Captain Du and his men finished the battle, Chu Yunsheng sneak attacked three more people. He counted and found that there were only sixteen accomplices of the long-faced man left. He estimated that several more had been killed in other battles in the past two days.
Chu Yunsheng sat in the building, lit a cigarette, and waited for Captain Du to leave so that he could pick up the corpses of the red-eyed monsters.
As long as Captain Du and his men encounter a few more raids like this, they can launch a sneak attack from the dark and quickly kill the long-faced man.
The air was filled with the smell of blood. Captain Du and his men did not dare to stay for long and left in a hurry. Chu Yunsheng immediately threw away his cigarette butt. He also had to hurry to collect the bodies, otherwise if other red-eyed monsters came over after smelling the blood, it would be big trouble.
Unfortunately, what he wished for came true. Just as he collected the bodies, he noticed flashes of red light in the fog. When he looked closely, he saw at least thirty red eyes. Chu Yunsheng was shocked and quickly took Yao Xiang to retreat towards the nearest East Mist Wall.
Chu Yunsheng fought while retreating, fortunately he had Yao Xiang's Fire Wheel Slash as support from behind, and he fought in close combat with the Qianpi Sword. Although there were many monsters rushing towards him, many of them were killed or wounded under Chu Yunsheng's long sword which was full of vitality.
Seeing the monsters growing in number, Chu Yunsheng suddenly jumped up, pulled Yao Xiang up, and ran quickly. He didn't dare to fight anymore, otherwise both of them would be surrounded and would surely die.
When they were almost at the fog wall, Chu Yunsheng threw Yao Xiang over with one hand, stabbed down a red-eyed monster that was almost about to fall on his head with his sword, and penetrated into the fog wall. When Yao Xiang saw him coming out, he immediately followed their plan and went back. At this time, the two of them had appeared at the fog wall on the south side of Area 5.
The two searched Area 5, avoiding the groups of red-eyed monsters, but found no trace of Captain Du and his men.
Chu Yunsheng immediately crossed the fog wall again, searching repeatedly in Area 5, Area 1, Area 7, and Area 4, and finally met Captain Du's team in Area 9 again.

Five days later, at Jinjiang Building, Captain Du’s resting place.
"Commander, we have suffered heavy losses in the past few days, and Captain Gan's people are almost all dead!" Staff Officer said worriedly. The casualty rate of his own troops was not bad in the past two days, but for some unknown reason, the death rate of Gan Ziqiang's Juexin soldiers was extremely high. If this continued, they would be completely scrapped, not to mention getting out of Jinling City, even before they got out of Kuncheng.
Du Qishan stared at the mist outside the window, frowning, and said slowly: "Lao Tao, don't you find it strange? The Juexin soldiers with the same ability, our troops fought several bloody battles in a row and survived, but Gan Ziqiang's troops died one after another at the hands of monsters?"
Staff Officer Tao nodded and said solemnly : "Yes, so I suspect someone is secretly sniping us, but why do these people only target Gan Ziqiang and not the troops?"
Du Qishan smiled softly and sighed, "I should have known it was him. He wouldn't give up so easily. When he retreated with heavy steps that day, I had a bad feeling. He is still chasing us!"
Staff Officer Tao was stunned and asked in confusion: "Who is he?"
Du Qishan smiled bitterly and said, "Do you remember that before we entered Kuncheng, we found a master. At that time, I wanted to recruit him to join us, but he refused. Later, when he and Gan Ziqiang had a conflict, I stepped forward to stop him, and he retreated into the crowd. I think he followed us and secretly took revenge on us."
Staff Officer Tao was shocked and said quickly, "Are you talking about the man named Chu Yunsheng that you told me about later? The man who dared to challenge Gan Ziqiang and more than 20 awakened warriors alone at that time!?"
Du Qishan nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, it's him. No one else can be alive and follow us for such a long time, and he has the ability to launch a sneak attack on us without anyone noticing!"
Staff Officer Tao lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said, "Captain, what do you think of his ability?"
Du Qishan said without thinking, "I don't know. Maybe I misjudged his ability before. Now I don't know even more. But it doesn't matter anymore! By the way, how is Professor Sun's research going?"
Staff Officer Tao hummed and replied, "The dimensional model of the Nine Palaces Mist has been established. Now there are still some equations left to be deduced. Due to the lack of high-end computer assistance, most of it has to be deduced by professors manually, so the speed will be a bit slow."
Du Qishan let out a long breath and said, "That's good. Finally, we don't have to risk our lives to travel through the fog. Give me my order: from now on, until the scientists have deduced all the equations, no one is allowed to step out of the Jinjiang Building. Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot on the spot!"
Chief of Staff Tao immediately straightened up, stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Yes!"
Du Qishan turned around and asked, "How many people does Gan Ziqiang have left now?"
Staff Officer Tao immediately replied: "Including Gan Ziqiang himself, there are only 5 people!"
Du Qishan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "Gan Ziqiang is not stupid. He probably knows what's going on better than the two of us. Let Zhou Wei take people to watch over them to prevent them from causing any trouble. If necessary, you can sacrifice Gan Ziqiang !"
Staff Officer Tao's expression became serious, and he said firmly: "Yes!"
※※※※
Chu Yunsheng has been lying in ambush in Jinjiang Building for more than twelve hours. Since Captain Du and his men went in, they have never come out again.
He has successfully killed twelve of the other side, and with Chang Lian himself, there are only five people left.
"Brother Chu, have you ever thought that if we suddenly attack now, Captain Du may not dare to stop us from killing Chang Lian?" Yao Xiang, who was sitting on the side, rarely used his brain and said.
Chu Yunsheng nodded and said, "Yes, Captain Du always puts the interests of the military as his highest goal. He will never do anything that will cause unnecessary losses. The situation is chaotic now, and he is no longer following the rules of the Sunshine Era. Now I guess even if we directly conflict with him, he will abandon his long face and avoid a head-on confrontation with us, causing losses to his own people. But when they arrive in Jinling City, they may not be able to bear this!"
Yao Xiang smiled and said, "Then why are you still hesitating? With Brother Ding as the insider, plus the two of us, Captain Du will have nothing to worry about."
Chu Yunsheng exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the building opposite, and said, "Wait a little longer. You and I will take turns to rest for 6 hours. If he doesn't come out, we can rest up enough and rush in to kill him! In case Captain Du jumps out again, we may have to fight with all our strength! So let's rest for now. We have been following him for so many days, so we don't care about these 6 hours." Volume 2: The Way Out of the City
