Chapter 46: Chapter 46 a drastic change
The situation didn’t progress well like Qian Deduo expected.
“QIAN DEDUO!!!” a loud shout burst out from the back of bus No.1.
The sound hasn’t faded out yet, but the man already jumped on the truck. It was Captain Zhong Nan. He kicked over Qian Deduo as soon as he got on the truck and glared at him furiously, “Qian Deduo! Qian big fucking mouth! Can you not fucking settle down for once! Don’t you think we have enough troubles already?”
Qian Deduo stood up and gave Zhong Nan an ingratiating smile while rubbing his hands constantly, “well… Captain… Don’t get angry, I am just doing a test, don’t be so nervous, no one will die!”
Zhong Nan snorted angrily, “no one will die? I’m warning you, take a fucking look outside!”
Qian Deduo glanced outside, then said, “damn, Captain, can’t blame me, your fly-kick made me drop the sausage!”
Chu Yunsheng had seen many people fighting over a right to search a shop before, but he had never seen such a huge crowd fighting each other over half a sausage that had already been dropped on the ground.
He couldn’t see where the sausage was, but he could hear someone shouted, “she got it!” then everyone rushed over towards that direction. The poor suspect was instantly swallowed up in the crowd!
The chaotic crowd became even crazier, and the chaos started to spread out. Some people just blindly joined in the fight, a lot of people were tripped over and stepped over by other people, many were shouting for help, screams were everywhere!
Zhong Nan’s face was livid, even Qian Deduo’s face also went pale as well, if they did not stop this now, people would die! Although life wasn’t worth much now, it would affect the school’s authority in the future, people would lose trust in them.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Four continued gunshots!
The crowd instantly stopped, even the guards also stopped.
It was Zhong Nan, who fired warning shots, he jumped on top of the truck, used the megaphone that a driver gave to him and shouted, “students! Students! Please stop all your disruptive activities! Please restrain yourself!”
it was obvious that his speech was much worse than the political commissar’s, who Chu Yunsheng had seen a long time ago. Not only didn’t he calm the crowd down but he also made it even worse.
One young man pulled down his hat, threw it onto the ground and shouted, “students, restrain shit! Those bastards have food to eat, warm clothes to wear and even cars to seat on, why do we have to bear the hunger, cold, and even get eaten by the fucking insects!”
“Well said, students, they said that they are protecting us, but what they are doing now, people are dying every day, where are they?” another student shouted coldly.
“All they did was bullying us, what else can they even do!? We are going to get killed anyway, if it’s not the insect, it will be them!”
“Those motherfuckers ruined my girlfriend!”
“Go, students!”
…
Things quickly got out of hand, originally, it was just fighting for the food, now it became a violent rebellion towards the authority. Many students were shouting and rushing towards the trucks, bus No.1, and other cars!
…….
The whole situation was like a landslide! The battalion commander, who was cooperating with the university, had a cold stern face, he drew the pistol and shouted at the crowd while standing on top of a bus, “whoever dares to make one more step forward will be shot dead!!!”
“Everyone ready to fire!”
Zhong Nan was very anxious, he threw away the megaphone, and shouted at the escort team, “the first team, guard the truck, the second and the third follow me to the bus number 2 and number 3, quick! Must not let those people destroy the research data! The fourth and the fifth, protect the bus no.1. Remember, if I did not give you any order, don’t kill anyone, don’t kill anyone, I repeat, without my fucking order, do not kill anyone!!!”
Chu Yunsheng has already activated the armor. Originally, he didn’t want to join in this fight, no matter which side won, it would not affect him too much!
But now that things had gotten out of hand so quickly, he knew that he had to make a choice!
Instead of standing on the weaker side, he chose to stand with the side that was more powerful. After all, everyone else considered him to be an awakened human, and the final winner of this fight would definitely be the university, not the students.
Moreover, Chu Yunsheng had seen how the escort team members fought with red-shelled insects with his own eyes. Those team members might have done something terrible, but they were indeed protecting them, so he thought that those students were just making an irresponsible statement to incite the violent behaviors. But on the other hand, those students were on the verge of mental breakdown, Qian Deduo shouldn’t have provoked them.
Bus no.1 was all the escort team members’ weakness. Because all the people they loved were living on it, that’s why Zhong Nan assigned the strongest teams, which were the fourth and the fifth to protect it.
The students had already reached the bus, some of them even started to climb up l the bus, and some others wanted to push the bus over.
Qian Deduo’s face already went as pale as a ghost, he didn’t expect that a non-harmful joke could cause such chaos. He followed the team to the bus no.1 bus, but his mind was completely blank.
Every time when a student got on the bus, the team member on the bus would kick them away. But there were too many people. Chu Yunsheng had already felt that the bus slowly started to lean to one side under the power of the crowd.
The windows on the bus were already broken by the students, although there were metal bars outside the bus preventing them from getting in, it still made people scream constantly inside the bus.
Suddenly, a careless team member was dragged off the bus when he was kicking one student. He was instantly swallowed up in the crowd. But, that team member’s ability was fire. When he was surrounded by the crowd, he instantly unleashed his ability in panic, the blazing fire burst out in the crowd all of sudden!
When people experienced the death threat, they would forget about everything else other than the safety of their own lives. So the order that team members had received was no longer important to him.
One, two, three… Students were set on fire by the powerful dark energy flame one after the other. Those flames were powerful enough to kill red-shelled insects, so it would have no problem killing some ordinary people.
Screams, all they could hear were screams. The fire spread from this team member to where the bus was. Chu Yunsheng was startled, then he immediately took the crossbow from Yu Xiahai, infused the crossbow with one unit of Yuan Qi, and then unleashed the frost arrow to stop the fire from getting out of control.
This sudden fire made all the students lose their courage. When facing the awakened warriors, they were just like weak ants, they couldn’t even withstand one round of attack.
The chaos finally reached a stalemate.
“Look! Helicopters!” Zhou Tingyun had a very good eyesight, she pointed at three light dots in the sky at the back of the crowd and shouted, as the lights dots were slowly approaching them.
With the helicopters getting closer and closer, the vigilant battalion commander suddenly commanded all the soldiers to turn the machine guns around. Only until this moment did Chu Yunsheng realize that something was odd about those helicopters. It seemed like they were running away from something!
Chu Yunsheng quickly ran from the front of the bus to the back while adjusting the night vision goggles to take a closer look. There were a few dots closely chasing the helicopters!
‘What’s that?’ Chu Yunsheng’s heart sank!
“Bratata…”
The sound of heavy machine guns came from the helicopters in the sky. The bullets made many red light beams across the sky and flew towards those dots behind them.
The crowd below the helicopters were stunned, including the awakened warriors. Everyone was looking at the sky, no one knew what was going on.
Helicopters were even closer now, small dots became bigger and bigger, until a light dot caught the helicopters.
The sounds of machine guns firing constantly appeared In the sky, one of the helicopters even fired two missiles.
“It’s the insect! The flying insects!!!” Someone shouted at the back of the crowd!
The helicopter, which was attacked by the insect, finally lost its balance and fell from the sky, the monster screamed and dashed towards another helicopter.
This time Chu Yunsheng could finally see what exactly that thing was. That monster was as big as a helicopter, it had four wings just like that of a dragonfly. It had a long and sharp beak, four feet, two short at the front and two long at back, and it was flying like the wind!
That was just the first one, the other two were closely behind!
One of them made a loud roar, and then dived straight towards the bus no.1 where the fire was.
The battalion commander immediately ordered the machine gunners to shoot, the flames instantly burst out the guns’ chambers.
Chu Yunsheng was shocked. He backed off several steps and shouted, “get on the ground! On the ground!”
Within a short amount of time, the flying insect was already flying close to the ground. Chu Yunsheng was running, he pounced onto the people, who were still shocked and still standing at the front of the bus.
The insect flew over the bus no.1, hooked one person using its back legs and then immediately flew away.
