Chapter 87: Humanity is still resisting
Chu Yunsheng left after all, picked up his crutches, picked up the Qianpi Sword, and took the rag doll with him, limping on the dangerous journey to Jinling.
Even if he saw ruins when he arrived in Jinling City, he still wanted to take a look. If there was really no hope for humanity, there would be no point in living alone.
What's more important is that his aunt is still there. Whether she is dead or alive, he wants to go and see her, even though he may not even be able to see her corpse.
Chu Yunsheng walked alone with a cane, amidst a sea of blood and corpses. He even ignored the meditation techniques for healing his wounds, as he was completely disheartened.
He had never understood why those who committed suicide gave up their precious lives so easily. But now, he seemed to understand that turtle bastards were forced to do so!
He didn't know how far he had walked or how much time had passed. His watch was broken and only the faint light in the sky was still there, reminding him that the day was not over yet.
The corpses were finally not so dense, and the road gradually became wider.
When walking down the slope, Chu Yunsheng was not careful and slipped on the blood under his feet. He rolled down and hit his head on a withered tree.
His head was bleeding all over, but he did not faint again, because at that moment he heard the hissing of the red beetle, and the nerve stimulation made him unusually awake.
He stood up straight and looked from afar, and he finally saw the first living person!
Three red beetles were besieging him. Hmm, no, Chu Yunsheng wiped the blood from his eyes . There were two! The other one was actually a tiger!
What’s weird is that the tiger actually stood on the man’s side to fight against the red beetle !
Since the Dark Ages, Chu Yunsheng had never seen any large animals except some cats and dogs. This was the first time he saw the former king of beasts in such a miserable state.
The tiger's body was surrounded by sharp golden light, and it kept opening its mouth and roaring, as if streams of air were rushing towards the red beetle from its mouth.
The person fighting alongside it was actually also a fire warrior, waving his fists to resist the pincers of the red beetle.
Three red beetle corpses had fallen around them.
Chu Yunsheng was standing far away. When he took out the bow and arrow from the Wu Na Fu and approached them, he found that the man and the tiger were seriously injured and bleeding.
He hated insects because they destroyed his world, his beliefs and everything. From the bottom of his dead heart, an uncontrollable ferocity emerged - kill!
Chu Yunsheng mobilized his limited energy, injected it into the bow and arrow, aimed it at a red beetle, and shouted: Go to hell!
An ice arrow shot out from the air!
Before he could finish his words, the arrow had already pierced the carapace of the red beetle, freezing it alive.
Then the fire warrior smashed the insect ice sculpture with one punch.
But at this moment, another insect went crazy and completely ignored the tiger's airflow impact. With its pincers broken, it pounced on the fire warrior, and its sharp knife-like legs pierced the back of his head.
The fire warriors' defense capabilities are very weak. If they are hit, they will die on the spot.
The insect was moving too fast, and even though Chu Yunsheng had shouted, the man didn't have time to dodge.
Chu Yunsheng thought he was dead.
The result, however, was something he would never forget. The tiger roared, jumped out, and blocked the fatal attack for the fire warrior.
The tiger's neck was directly pierced by the red beetle's knife-like leg. Its body was shining with golden light. It ignored the blood spurting out and fearlessly broke off the insect's knife-like leg. It bit the insect's most vulnerable head tightly and refused to let go.
The fire warrior looked back in horror, swung his flaming fists, and punched the red beetle's shell again and again until the insect's shell was broken and mucus splattered everywhere.
The bug died, and the tiger died too.
The fire warrior, a man in his forties, hugged the tiger head and burst into tears.
Chu Yunsheng stood aside, watching the man and the tiger silently.
After a long time, the fire warrior gradually stopped crying and tried to stand up, but staggered and fell to the ground. Chu Yunsheng then discovered that there was a bloody hole under his right chest pierced by a bug, and he supported him.
He smiled bitterly and said, “Brother, no matter who you are, thank you.”
Chu Yunsheng shook his head. He killed insects because he hated them to the core.
The fire warrior coughed violently a few times, sat next to the tiger, stroked its fur, and sighed with difficulty: "My wife is dead, my daughter is dead, and now the tiger cub is dead too. There is no point in me living alone!"
As he spoke, he took out two boxes from his arms, handed them to Chu Yunsheng and said, "Brother, ahem, I won't live long either, I'm asking you for a favor, I used to be a keeper at the Gusu Zoo, ahem..."
He gestured with his hands, as if recalling: "I have been taking care of Tiger since he was this big. I have raised him for ten years, ahem."
Then, she pointed to a large box and said, "This is her cub. She was pregnant when we were in the Sunshine Era. I don't know what happened. Ahem, it's been half a year. She just gave birth a few days ago. There were three in the litter, two died, and this is the only one left."
He raised his head and said with pleading and expectation: "Take it to Jinling City. You can raise it yourself or hand it over to the government. Ahem, I just beg you not to eat it no matter how hungry you are, okay? It really is not an ordinary cub. It has the awakened ability of its mother tiger cub when it was born. It will definitely become a great thing in the future! Ahem."
Chu Yunsheng took the box, signaled him not to worry, and nodded: "Don't get excited, I will never eat it, don't worry!"
He looked into Chu Yunsheng's eyes and said, "Ahem, thank you for helping us. I believe you and your words. I will hand the cub over to you and you take it away. Ahem..."
Chu Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, but before he could say anything, the breeder died!
He opened the box with ventilation holes and found the little tiger still sleeping soundly inside, as if all the tragic events that had just happened had nothing to do with it.
Chu Yunsheng dragged it out. The little tiger was disturbed from its dream. It yawned, fluttered its little paws a few times, and actually fell asleep.
Looking at its tiny body, a completely new life, it is an animal belonging to the Earth, a life that was born in the Dark Ages to continue the Earth’s species!
Chu Yunsheng seemed to have an epiphany, and his dead heart actually loosened a little. A young bud broke out of the ruins of his soul: life will never stop, and it will never end!
As long as life continues, one day, humans will drive the insects out of their homes and rebuild the earth.
There will be hope in the future, and people will have a purpose in life!
Chu Yunsheng put the little tiger back into the box, picked up another small box , and saw the words "Ashes of my beloved wife and daughter" written on it.
His heart was beating fast, and he sighed, "In that case, I will help you bury it. I hope that you three, plus this tiger, can be reunited in the underworld!"
…
After burying the keeper’s family, Chu Yunsheng took the box containing the little tiger and set off again.
Feeding the little tigers gave Chu Yunsheng a headache for a while. Fortunately, the keeper left his notes in the box. Because the mother tiger gave birth to three cubs far beyond the normal pregnancy period, and the surviving one was born with awakened abilities, he made a lot of observation notes.
The little tiger is growing very fast, far exceeding the normal growth cycle of a tiger in the Sunshine Era. Based on the tiger's mother's ability to eat the flesh and blood of red beetles, the breeder judges that according to the little tiger's growth rate, it can eat the skin and flesh of red beetles one month after birth.
This solved Chu Yunsheng's biggest worry. If the little tiger was to be fed the food of the Sunshine Era, the little meat he had stored would definitely not be enough for it to eat.
But if it was replaced with the flesh of red beetles, there would be no problem. He didn't have much of anything now, but the skin and flesh of insects were the most, and there were piles of them in the material collection talisman.
The appearance of the little tiger brought back some vitality to Chu Yunsheng, and he was no longer completely lifeless.
In addition, he encountered several red beetles in succession, which meant that he was close to the area where the insects gathered. So he found a secluded place and practiced for three days to recover his strength.
At the same time, I recovered some of my leg injuries, at least I don’t have to use crutches anymore.
Before setting off again, he made a six-jia talisman for the little tiger and sealed it on the tiger's head. The little tiger had grown beyond the breeder's expectations, had opened its eyes, and often fluttered in Chu Yunsheng's hands to play.
What surprised Chu Yunsheng was that the little tiger's ability was not only the strongest defense of gold energy, but also the strange control of wind energy. This was the first time he saw such an ability.
