Chapter 142: Chapter 142 You Want Me To Cross The River?
“Bang! Bang! Bang!…”
Chu Yunsheng had already finished his bullets. What he fired currently were just pure fire elemental energy bullets. There were too many green-sh.e.l.led insects, so within a few minutes, his Yuan Qi was down to half.
Fortunately, the first push did not last long.
When there were only three green-sh.e.l.led insects left, everyone surrounded the last three and used their abilities to smash them into pieces.
When the first push finally stopped, the entire defence line was already filled with burning smoke and ice pieces.
The area where Chu Yunsheng was defending was near the Southern District. He could still hear the sound of gunfire constantly coming from the Southern District. He could imagine that the situation must be very bad over there.
Luckily, the Western District had the Yangtze river. All the red-sh.e.l.led insects were stopped by it. However, the sheer number of insects that were crawling on the broken bridge and on the other side of the riverbank still scared everyone.
The first wave just stopped temporarily. But many soldiers were already burned and turned into the black carbons, some were completely melted. Medics were constantly crossing the battlefield to take away the injured soldiers one by one, and moving them to a hospital facility behind the defence line.
All the dark warriors were also exhausted. Most of them were still sitting on the ground panting.
“How many people died?” Chu Yunsheng asked Ding Yan.
“4 dark warriors, all Rank-1. Plus the one Zhu Lingdie executed, 5 in total.” Said Ding Yan while dusting off the ice pieces from his cloth. Some of the ice elemental warriors had a mental breakdown. They kept casting out their energies even after the monster retreated. The dark warrior’s discipline was a lot worse than he expected, they could not compete with the ordinary soldiers at all.
“Ask brothers to hurry up finis.h.i.+ng the break, the insects might start the second push anytime soon. Tell them to gather at the shed over there. I will give them some energy s.h.i.+elds like what you used to have!” Chu Yunsheng said sternly.
Originally, he planned to slowly arm his men with Liu Jia energy s.h.i.+elds, because he did not know them that well. However, when he saw those people risked their lives to follow his order without any hesitance, and the people from other groups did not move at all, he changed his mind!
After all, those 30 people’s families were all in the office building, and everyone was on the same boat.
No matter how familiar he was with the incantations, a single Liu Jia energy s.h.i.+eld still cost him two units of Yuan Qi. So, in order to make 30 of them, he had to use the backup absorption talismans.
In terms of the other dark warriors in the regiment, even if he wanted to arm them, it still could not be done in a short period of time. That was more than 700 units of Yuan Qi in total, if he wanted to arm them all.
The first priority should always be his men first.
“You don’t need to worry, I have already arranged everything. Also, I have arranged Bai Yutang and Wu kezhao’s groups to join your company. Those two people are very useful. At least, they would listen to you.” Ding Yan nodded his head.
After Ding Yan left, Chu Yunsheng checked the little tiger to see if it was injured. Luckily, it only had minor frostbite, nothing serious. Then, he gave it a huge piece of red-sh.e.l.led insect’s meat and asked it to guard the shed.
He had already gained insight into the Liu Jia energy s.h.i.+eld. So he was able to cast the talisman without triggering the special lighting effect.
Apart from Chu Yunsheng, Yao Xiang and Ding Yan, all 35 people were gasped in shock when Chu Yunsheng finished the incantations.
Although the energy s.h.i.+eld wouldn’t be able to increase the energy inside their bodies, their overall physical strength such as hearing, vision, strength, and speed was increased. This was something they could clearly feel.
In terms of the energy s.h.i.+eld protection, sooner or later, they would be able to experience it.
All those dark warriors had already been impressed by a lot of things that Chu Yunsheng did, the sword attack, the weapons that he gave to Yao Xiang and Lu Yu. Now the energy s.h.i.+eld. Everyone was thinking whether this man still had something that they didn’t know.
The more powerful dark warriors became, the more protections they would want for themselves. Chu Yunsheng was not only able to make weapons. He was also able to make protection equipment. This kind of ability was usually what they wanted the most.
“Mr. Chu, Zhu Lingdie wants to gather everyone, she wants to make an announcement.” Ding Yan said.
“Let’s go!” Chu Yunsheng took the lead and walked towards the battlefield once again.
Zhu Lingdie was standing on the higher ground and holding a megaphone. There were four bodies lying in front of her. When everyone gathered together, she switched on the megaphone and said, “I know everyone is tired, we all need a break. So I will make it short, I will only mention two things here.
The first thing, today is the first day our regiment joined the fight, we have lost four of our brothers. In the name of the 9th division, I guarantee that their families will receive protections from the 9th division for life.
The second one is good news, GRD has agreed to give us a batch of prototype armours. They will send them over to the 9th division’s headquarters. We’ll have the first priority to equip them!”
The announcement was mainly trying to eliminate the dark warrior’s concerns. The first corner was their family’s safeties. The second one was the safety of themselves. Because of this announcement and because of what she did earlier in the battle, she gained more or less a little bit of trust from all the dark warriors.
“Brother Chu, I need to talk to you in private,” Zhu Lingdie approached Chu Yunsheng and said quietly.
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head and walked into a tent with her.
“Brother Chu, I will be honest with you, the division has already gotten the Eastern and the Southern district’s reports, they suffered heavy losses, the second division has lost an entire company during the first push…” Zhu Lingdie said sternly.
“Commander Zhu, just get to the point, even if without the report, I can still imagine how bad the situation is.” Chu Yunsheng interrupted her.
“The division commander had a discussion with me earlier, sooner or later, the swarm will find a way to cross the river, but because of those tombs, the artillery could not do anything to them. The commander is hoping that we could send someone over to plant the bombs and blow them up! So the military could bombard them!” Zhu Lingdie did not feel annoyed when Chu Yunsheng interrupted her. She carefully explained what the commander wanted.
“You want me to cross the river!?” Chu Yunsheng was shocked.
“Brother Chu, that’s why I need to discuss with you, it is not an order-” Zhu Lingdie said quietly.
“Even if it is an order, I still won’t do it! End of the discussion! Commander Zhu, I don’t even know if I can approach those tombs, let alone if I have time to plant those bombs! Tell that commander and ask him to see for himself. How many insects are there on the other side of the river?! Many monsters are still hiding in the dark, and we still have not seen them yet!” Chu Yunsheng refused immediately. This was a suicide mission! He turned around straight away and shook his head while walking out of the tent.
Zhu Lingdie looked at his back and let out a long sigh.
