Chapter 626: Chapter 626 Prepare To Go To Shanghai

Translator: Doggotranslation 

“Why are you still here?” Chu Yunsheng’s heart suddenly tightened. The schools and universities were something that he had stressed to the military and the government before. Why were there still students here? Looking at the young people behind the girl, Chu YunSheng could tell that they were all students. Did Yu Jian and other people abandon his plan because of his disappearance? This would not be good.

The girl also recognized Chu Yunsheng. After all, it would be hard not to recognize the cloak.

Originally, she was just about to lose her hope, thinking that she would definitely die here, but she didn’t expect that Chu Yunsheng still hadn’t left this place. She knew that she was a student, even if she was a smart one, and also looked beautiful, she was not comparable to the people like Chu Yunsheng. So it was normal that the military didn’t take her away with them, but they didn’t take Chu YunSheng as well?

But before the girl could figure it out, Chu Yunsheng asked her this question, so she had to stop thinking, and said hopelessly, “We were originally scheduled to leave, but a group of important people suddenly took our places. At that time, it was said that monsters had already started to appear outside the city, so we didn’t dare not go alone, but had to wait for the military to escort us.”

Anyone in her position would feel angry. After all, it was a life and death arrangement. However, she didn’t dare to reveal her anger in front of Chu YunSheng. After all, he was also “abandoned” here.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t notice the “anger” behind her tone. As long as the people he worked with didn’t abandon the teachers and students on a large scale, he would not be too worried. After all, without talents, how was he going to fight the five elemental races and No.1. Moreover, how was he going to study the ancient book?

After Chu YunSheng realized that, he gradually calmed down. However, he still couldn’t remember her name, so he asked, “what’s your name?”

“Yuan Xiaoyi.” The girl said to Chu YunSheng. For her, it was normal that Chu YunSheng couldn’t remember her name. After all, he was a very important person. It was already not bad that he could still her appearance.

“Yuan Xiaoyi … Yes, I remembered it now.” Chu Yunsheng glanced at the many students behind her, thought for a second, and asked, “are there any awakeners amongst those students?”

“What is an awakener?” Yuan Xiaoyi was puzzled by Chu Yunsheng’s question and said in confusion.

At this time, the middle-aged man holding Chu Yunsheng’s crossbow also hurriedly came over, and as soon as he saw Chu Yunsheng, he hurriedly said, “As soon as we came in, we found that these students were hiding here.”

If it wasn’t being chased, no one would want to run to the roof. After all, that was the last solution. So most of the people preferred to stay on the first floor or the second floor. Even if it was quite crowded, people still preferred to stay together. After all, it would be much safer this way.

This was the reason why the middle-aged man was able to discover those students so easily. At that time, fearing that the group that ran into the building might lead the floating monsters into the building, the two groups of people almost had a fight.

“Since you are here, let’s gather everyone together and ask if there are any awakeners. There are so many people here, there must be one or two of them!” Chu Yunsheng put away the battle cloak and night vision device and said.

He and the soldiers were the last group of people that came into the building. Amongst those seven soldiers, some of them were injured, so at the moment, the other soldiers were trying to treat those wounded soldiers.

The middle-aged man nodded and turned to gather the crowd. In the various dim lights, Chu YunSheng took a quick glance at the crowd, there were around ninety people here. Amongst the ninety people, most of them were students, roughly around fifty.

After a while, seeing Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the sofa alone, the soldier’s group selected one person to come to him. The person was very young, should be in his twenties, but he was very big and muscular.

“Brother, on behalf of everyone in our team, I thank you for saving us.” The big and muscular soldier cautiously said. At the same time, he took out half a pack of cigarettes and gave it to Chu YunSheng and explained, “we collected this from my brothers, I’m sorry, but this is all we got.”

“Are there any senior officers?” Chu Yunsheng took the cigarette and signaled him to sit down and talk.

The big and muscular soldier gloomily said, “Several squad leaders are dead, even the company commander also went missing. We are all fighting on our own. Because I stay in the army the longest and I’m also a corporal, my team selected me to be a temporary leader.”

“So who is the highest-ranking officer that is still in Nanjing? Is the person still alive?” Chu Yunsheng thought about it and asked without giving up.

The big and muscular soldier sighed, “It’s the commander of our 107th Infantry Brigade, we were just transferred from Xuzhou city and took over the task of escorting the last batch of people. But we didn’t expect that we would be trapped here since the first day we took over the task. Our brigade commander also died that day, and then many troops were scattered.”

Hearing that he came from Xuzhou city, Chu YunSheng immediately asked, “The 7th Armored Division is also from the Xuzhou city. There is a 218th regiment. Do you know if they have withdrawn from the city?”

“Is it regiment commander Du’s troops?” Fortunately, this big and muscular corporal wasn’t like other soldiers, he still knew something. Seeing Chu Yunsheng nodded, he continued, “I heard that they were supposed to leave two days before the incident. But then it was said that they waited for another day, but eventually, they still left… I just heard those from other soldiers when we took over the task. After all, you probably also know that we are not qualified to know the specific strategic arrangements.”

Chu Yunsheng was greatly relieved. Du Qishan was responsible for escorting the people that were the most important to his plan. As long as he left early, and with the speed of the train, they would definitely be able to get to Shanghai before the monsters appeared.

“I’m planning to go to Shanghai, did you find any exits while you were trapped here?” Chu Yunsheng smoked the cigarette and said.

The big and muscular corporal shook his head and said in frustration, “We tried many times and lost a lot of men, but we still couldn’t go out. The edge of the city is like an abyss, and there is no end.”

Chu Yunsheng thought for a second and asked him, “Are there any places that are much stranger than other places, no matter in which aspect? We may be able to get some clues from there.”

The big and muscular corporal thought for a while and then said with hesitation, “one time, one of our brothers got lost inside, we also tried to find him for a long time, but we still couldn’t find him. Just when we were about to give up, he walked out of the edge of the city again. However, he was terrified and constantly mumbled that he had seen some ghosts, and ghost fire.”

Chu Yunsheng’s eyes were immediately lit up, “Where is this person? Take me to see him!”

The big and muscular man immediately shook his head and said, “he died. He had a problem in his head since he got out of the city edge, his movement was clumsy and most of the time he just stared blankly in the air. One time when we encountered floating monsters, we signaled him to hide, but he just stood there motionless, then…”

Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s a pity, by the way, I don’t know what to call you. my name is Chu Yunsheng.”

The big and muscular soldier quickly said, “my name is Luo Dalian, you can just call me Xiao Luo.”

Chu Yunsheng took a packet of unopened cookies from the storage talisman and handed it to him, “you can share it with your brothers. I have something for you to do later on. Once we gather enough people, we need you to ask them one by one if anyone has noticed anything strange, especially the strange thing like your brother once witnessed. Once there is any, please tell me immediately.”

In the absence of awakeners, well-trained soldiers could sometimes be of great help. Even in some cases, the soldiers were more useful than awakeners. After all, they were much more disciplined and their psychological quality was not those awakeners, who had just transformed from ordinary people, could compare. This was something that had been proved using blood when he was in Jin Ling city.

A pack of cookies was just a small favor. Although it would not solve any problems, at least, it would make them understand that if they listen to him, they would not be hungry.

“Don’t worry, we will definitely get it done as soon as possible.” when the man saw the pack of cookies, his eyes were instantly lit up, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he hesitantly said, “Brother Chu, there is something I don’t know if I can discuss it with you?”

Chu Yunsheng simply said, “what is it?”

The big and muscular corporal swallowed and said, “At the time of the evacuation, a lot of military supplies were piled up at the train station. Although the troops were scattered, the supplies were still there, especially the military food, which was enough for all of us for some time.”

Chu Yunsheng immediately asked, “you don’t have enough food at the moment?”

The soldier nodded, “it happened too suddenly. When we were scattered, we carried nothing but weapons and ammunition. In the past few days, we only lived on the food that other people stored. Originally, the civilians also stored enough food, but they were chased by those floating monsters, so most of the food was lost during the escape. I don’t know about those students, but with the amount of the food we have at the moment, we will run out of the food in two days.”

Chu Yunsheng frowned, “so why don’t you go back to the train station? Are there many floating monsters there?”

The soldier said very frustratedly, “At first, it was those floating monsters, so no one dared to go to the train station. But yesterday, we secretly went back to check the situation. Even if we couldn’t get any food, we want to try to start a train and drive out of this city. The car will automatically turn off as soon as it reaches the edge, but trains are different. At least the train can slide along the rail for a long distance after the engine is shut, and it is a straight line. We will not get lost. That was why we decided to go back to the train station yesterday.

But we didn’t expect that after those floating monsters left a group of superhumans appeared. Not only could they use strange ice and fire abilities, but they also gathered some people to use other weapons, so we couldn’t get near them at all.”

“Awakeners?” This was the first thing that came to Chu Yunsheng’s mind. But when he thought of it again, whether it was military supplies or the method of using a train to escape, both of them were quite tempting.
