Hope is at hand.

Under Galahad's cover, the turtledove and the bug were able to escape Rebecca's pursuit and drive to a drainage canal in the abandoned city, from where they entered a complex underground drainage system.

After that, I drove forward in the darkness for a while, and after passing the last two intersections, I finally saw a little light ahead, which must have been the exit.

The point of light grew bigger and brighter, and when it was still a dozen meters away from its destination, the turtledove stepped on the brakes, and he asked the bug to wait for him in the car, and then jumped out of the cab.

The foul smell came to his face, and the turtledove stepped slowly through the ankle-length mud, and in front of him was an iron gate with a rounded fence, but the iron gate here was stronger than the one at the entrance, and the iron bars were the thickness of duck's eggs.

This thing will definitely not be able to hit it with a pickup, so I have to think of something else.

Outside the fence-type iron gate, the turtledove can even see the sky covered with dark clouds, and if you can pass through this iron gate, you will be able to leave the abandoned city completely.

But how do you get out?

The two hands clenched the two iron bars tightly, and the turtledove gritted his teeth and exerted a lot of strength, but the result was only to expand the distance between the two iron bars by a few millimeters, and if he wanted to break the iron bars, he still couldn't do it with the strength of the turtledove.

The unbelieving turtledove tried to enter a state of rage again, but it had no obvious effect, and his actions were all seen by the worm behind him, who leaned out of the car window and asked the turtledove:

"What's wrong?"

"This iron gate can't be opened," said the turtledove, kicking it against the iron fence, "the iron bar is too thick to be broken with bare hands." ”

"Is it okay to hit the car and drive away?"

The method that the turtle dove said had already thought about just now, and it was not advisable, so the turtle dove naturally shook his head at the little worm.

"I'll see."

The little worm also jumped from the co-pilot's seat, and the mud all over the ground made her frown into a ball, and she stepped on the mud and walked forward, and the little worm who came to the iron gate tried to pull the iron bar like a turtledove, and found that what the turtledove said was not wrong.

"If only there was a blowtorch or something," Turtledove muttered, "or not, a hacksaw would be enough to survive, and we'll have to keep it with us next time, just in case we ......need it."

The abandoned city behind him is about to be overwhelmed by the "tide of terror", and Galahad, Natalia and Schultz are also dragging Rebecca, and it is very uncomfortable to see that they are only separated from the outside world by a wall, but they can't escape.

Perhaps due to the nervousness of not yet escaping, the turtledove could not stop chattering, and the little worm, which was trying to squeeze out of the crack in the iron bar, suddenly raised its hand and signaled the turtledove to stop talking.

"Shh

The worm's eyes blinked twice, and she pricked up her ears to listen to the darkness behind her, her face changing suddenly.

After a few seconds, without the need for the worm to say anything more, the turtledove also heard something in the darkness that seemed to be making a sound of the rope, the distance was very far, and it was not clear for the time being, but one thing was certain, that is, no matter what it was, the turtledove and the insect were not very willing to touch it at this time.

The sound grew clear, and it sounded like a large flock of birds flapping their wings rapidly and flying towards this direction—how could there be birds in the sewers?

……

"It's a big bat with a grimace!"

She is worthy of a little insect with eagle eyes, her eyesight in the dark is much better than that of the turtledove, and she saw a large shadow moving like a black cloud in the distance, and the insect shouted and lowered her body, dragging the turtledove with her to run in the direction of the modified pickup.

The swarms of grimaceous bats came very quickly, and almost in an instant, they emerged from the darkness, and one by one they pounced on the turtledoves and insects as if they were dying, flapping their wings and making a sharp cry, and the movement was not much different from the cry of a hundred ghosts in the night.

After a distance of more than ten meters, the turtledove opened the car door and stuffed the worm in, and then he climbed into the cab, raised his foot and kicked over a few big bats with grimaces holding his legs.

"Bang!"

Closing the car door, because the parasite had blown up a piece of the car window glass before, the side where the turtledove was undoubtedly the weakness of the entire modified pickup, countless grimace bats You squeezed me, I pressed you, desperately trying to drill through the window into the cab.

The turtledove didn't know where to find a wrench, and the head that had been poking in from the big bat with a grimace was smashed, until it smashed out its brain, eyeballs and other things, but this one had just been stoned to death by the turtledove, and the rest immediately tore out its corpse and replaced it with another one to drill into it.

……

To say that the big bat with a grimace is really worthy of the name, the ugly face is as distorted as it looks, the facial features are tightly constricted on the face, the mouth is flat and big, the teeth are sharp and sharp, a pair of ears are straight up, and the whole body is covered with hard black hair.

Each one was about one and a half meters in size, with its wings really spread out for about two meters, and it screamed like a demon crawling out of hell.

In fact, ghost-faced bats are not uncommon, they are almost as common as cockroaches in the sewers, and their reputation is not very good, after all, even if they are ugly, their cries are so harsh and ugly, if they don't just live in dark and damp places, and rarely show up in the daytime, I am afraid that people would have been exterminated long ago.

This group of big ghost-faced bats living in the underground drainage system of abandoned cities, the population does not know how many there are, but it is definitely not small, looking at their posture, there should be one or two hundred.

It is said that it is daytime, and the habits of the big ghost-faced bats should be similar to those of humanoid monsters, and at this time they should all hide in the shadows to sleep, and the humanoid monsters are affected by the tide-callers, and are forcibly awakened from sleep and gathered in the abandoned city, so why did the ghost-faced big bats change their habits?

Could it be that they are also affected by the Tide Callers?

This should be unlikely, the little worm thought for a little and figured out the key, it may be that the "tide of terror" has alarmed these bats living in the sewers, the beasts have much sharper instincts than humans, they must have sensed the impending disaster and wanted to escape from the abandoned city, and it was very coincidental that they ran into themselves and turtledoves who were also escaping.
