Chapter 9: Encounter Love Around the Corner
30 minutes after departure.
Except for the situation we encountered around the corner before, everything else was relatively stable.
Tong Jia gently tugged at my clothes and pointed to the front, and looked at it from the silhouette, which did look like a car.
The car was only twenty or thirty meters away from me in a straight line, and this distance was not enough for me to see more clearly, and I could only see a vague shadow.
It's such a short distance that I don't dare to be careless, but don't capsize in the gutter at the last minute.
Tong Jia pulled a teammate behind him and motioned for him to go to the front to explore the road first, and if there was no problem, he could get into the car directly.
This is also the routine operation of scavengers or people, if they go together, in case of any emergency, the calf will be finished.
I looked ahead with a solemn expression, and so far I didn't see any danger, and there were no predators around.
1 minute ......
2 minutes ......
3 minutes ......
There was no movement.
A few minutes passed, and the team members who had just touched it were as if they had evaporated from the world, and there was no movement at all.
I didn't see the car start, but I didn't hear the screams either.
A silent terror enveloped me and the other two who were hiding behind the bus stop thirty meters away.
Dense sweat appeared on my forehead, and I felt a little uneasy, and I was afraid that something would happen now.
Now there are only two options in this situation, either everyone can go forward together, or go back the way they came.
I gritted my teeth and tied the Tang knife in my hand, and touched it alone, whether it was Longtan or Tiger's Den in front, I had to go over to explore.
This car is our only chance to get out of ZM City, there are of course other abandoned vehicles in the city, but none of them are noise-reducing and can attract countless predators as soon as they start.
Tong Jia's guy also turned around and tugged at his teammate's clothes, motioning for him to follow.
So it became me in front, and the two of them formed a triangular formation in the back and slowly touched forward.
Mother, brother, you really have a problem for me, why is this person silent?
10 m ...... 8 m ...... 5 m ......
It's getting closer.
I'm Nima ......!
As the distance shortened, I finally saw clearly what the 'car' in front of me was, and where was the noise-reducing car.
This is clearly a gigantic toad!
[Xenomorph toad! 】
Fortunately, the vision has been strengthened again, so that it did not cause the oolong that directly hit the [Xenomorph Slug] last time.
But the slug creature is too docile compared to the toad, okay?
No wonder there was no sound just now, that guy didn't have my visual ability, he must have touched it directly, and then he was swallowed!
No wonder, no wonder, no wonder there is not a single corpse around, looking at this thing's bulging belly, it must have been swallowed by it.
Xenos don't distinguish between the living and the dead, although they are also infected, but they are completely different from those dead and resurrected corpses, the virus on the monster's body only makes them mutate, not the kind of unconscious walking dead.
Despite this, xenos are also very irritable, unable to approach and tame at all, eating and slaughtering everything, and becoming extremely manic after being infected by the virus.
The toad's closed eyes opened, and its scarlet pupils glanced at me, but instead of attacking, it jumped and ran.
Me: "......"
What does that look mean? Disdain? I was actually despised by a toad!?
Isn't our body strong enough? Not enough for it?
I was ready to do my best, who knew it would be such an ending, I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead, smiled wryly and shook my head, it was too dramatic.
But how much gene value will be given if you kill a xeno? No, I can't afford to mess with this kind of thing right now, so I'll have to try again when I find a chance later.
After the toad jumped away, the noise-reducing car that was hidden by its huge body was finally revealed.
I looked closely, and it looked like a medium-sized truck, with a layer of iron armor and steel wire mesh with hooks, which was okay.
It is definitely enough to deal with low-level corpses.
As long as the car isn't overturned by those guys.
Tong Jia and the other person have already looked stupid, although they don't know what that big guy is, but such a thing is in front of them, the key is that they haven't found it yet, it's too bad.
When he saw the noise-canceling car, he hurriedly fumbled for the door, picked up the key and opened it and jumped in.
The other team member and I were not slow to move and jumped into the car right after him.
"Hoo ......"
The sound of breathing sounded one after another in the cab, and we looked at each other with a kind of joy for the rest of our lives, finally in.
The atmosphere outside was really overwhelming, and I felt like I was going to suffocate at any time.
But it's a pity that one teammate was sacrificed.
"Hmph...... Hmph......"
"Roar ......!"
The earth is shaking.
It was as if something huge was running in this direction, causing a slight tremor on the ground.
"Whatever it is, run! I'm going to drive! ”
I moved to the driver's seat, and now only I, a person with a good eye, can drive the best in this situation.
The noise-reducing vehicle is really different from ordinary cars, there is almost no sound from starting to driving, and only a few people in the car can hear it a little clearly.
Whether it is tires or engines, a series of hardware has been updated and changed to adapt to the times.
I slammed on the accelerator in my car, pushed my speed to the limit, and rushed towards the convenience store.
"Bang ......"
"Bang ......"
The tremor is still being felt, and it's getting closer!
It was as if a shadow had cast over my mind, and I thought of something.
Nightmare!
Damn it! This time Lao Tzu has a car! I don't believe you can catch up with Lao Tzu!
Thinking of my own tragic situation two days ago, my heart suddenly fired, if it wasn't for the fact that this thing couldn't be killed, I really wanted to chop it up, provided that it could be beaten.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
The tremor was getting more and more intense, and although it was pitch black outside, we couldn't see it, but the thud that followed and got closer and closer behind meant that everything was clear.
That's the Lord of Yama who came to urge him.
At this moment, my heart has risen to my throat, and I can't go back to the convenience store! Must not go back!
Gotta get rid of this thing, or else it'll be stuck in the convenience store and it's all over!
Ordinary iron doors can't stop a single claw of the monster, and it can be pierced directly!
