Chapter 28: Critical Rescue
In a matter of minutes, the town was already a sea of fire, and the fire burned half of the sky, and the red fire clouds made it look as if it had returned from night to dusk.
Crying, screaming, screaming and other sounds mingled, mixed with various explosions and bullets in between, the little worm drove a modified pickup truck, desperately trying to escape from Poplar Town.
Several townspeople supported each other to appear at the intersection ahead, men and women, old and young, and the little worm knew what those people were trying to do, so she didn't slow down, let alone stop, and hit the steering wheel to the side, ready to bypass the residents from other roads.
However, the inhabitants who had been looking miserable a moment ago, and seeing that the duck with the beak of the worm wanted to fly away, they immediately showed their true colors, especially the old lady with white hair, who did not need to be helped, and took out a submachine gun directly from the basket in the crook of her arm.
A huge humanoid upright black shadow knocked down the building on the side of the road, wrapped its whole body in dust, and grabbed the old lady, and in the old lady's scream, the black shadow's forelimbs staggered, and immediately tore the prey in his hand into two pieces, incorporated it into the circular mouthparts and chewed it.
"Quack, quack, quack......"
Hearing this movement, people couldn't help but stand on end.
The rest of the people turned to run, but the black shadow had already trampled one to death, grabbed two with both claws, bit the head of one with round mouthparts, and finally swept the last three into the ruins next to them with a spur of the tail with bone spurs.
"Wanderer."
The little worm's voice that witnessed this scene was trembling, where did she dare to look at it again, her right foot stepped on the accelerator stubbornly, the little worm hated to put a pair of wings on these two modified pickups, and only hoped that the farther away from the black shadow would be.
……
The worm's pickup fled down another road, but the dark shadow named "The Wanderer" left what he was at hand and roared after the worm, roaring as it ran, and its voice was full of wildness.
Through the rearview mirror, you can see that the wanderers are about four or five meters tall, and their body is similar to those humanoid monsters living in the ruins of the city, except that they are closer to animals, and they also have a long tail behind them, which plays a role in balancing their bodies when running.
And unlike the pale skin of the humanoid monsters, the Wanderer's skin is dark, and it exudes a strange metallic sheen in the light of the fire, and it doesn't take to know that it must be quite tough.
The wanderer relied on its thick skin and flesh, and it didn't know how many houses it knocked down along the way, and what was even more amazing was that it ran faster than a pickup truck, and it was about to catch up with the bugs.
At one turn, the worm slammed the steering wheel, but the wheels of the pickup slid and drifted away to the outside of the road with a "squeak", and the loiterer's feet had long hooks, which would not slip in this situation, - at this moment, the loiterer finally overtook the pickup and blocked the bug's path.
Turning around and grabbing both sides of the pickup truck that still wanted to escape with his paws, the loiterer relied on his own strong strength to lift the front of the pickup truck off the ground, no matter how the insects in the car stepped on the accelerator, the pickup truck could not break free from the loiter's claws.
In desperation, Xiao Worm picked up an assault rifle from the seat next to him, leaned half of his body out of the window, and aimed slightly, "Bang Bang Bang", and the triple point shot hit the wanderer's chest, sending out a burst of "poof" like defeat, but no blood flowed out, and it seemed that the wound was not deep.
"Whew!"
The wanderer who ate the spear was hurt by the bug, and it opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth arranged in rings in its round mouthparts, and a long, barbed scarlet tongue.
Worm tried to raise her gun and shoot again, but she aimed at the wanderer's eyes, but the violently shaking body caused her to shoot two shots in a row, and the wanderer stretched out his tongue and rolled the assault rifle in Worm's hand back into the mouthpiece and chewed it into pieces.
The little worm who was almost licked off her entire arm by the wanderer didn't have time to break out in a cold sweat, so she skillfully took out a pistol, opened the safe, pulled the breech, and pulled the trigger.
It's a pity that the caliber of the pistol obviously can't cause any trouble to the wanderer, and the people are as if nothing is going on, and this time they don't even move, and let the bugs finish the bullets.
The little worm estimates that only Miss Puff can save herself, but Miss Puff is in the back seat, in this case, how can she have a chance to go to the back seat to get Miss Puff, the pickup may be overturned by the loiter at any time, and even if she gives herself ten Miss Puff, she will not be able to face the attack of the loiter.
What to do.
The little insect felt that her throat and eyes were dry, she never thought that she would run into wanderers here, these monsters did roam the land from time to time, and specialized in attacking small human settlements in groups of three or five, because their main prey was humans.
But those are more inaccessible to the west, the hinterland of the lawless land, when did the wanderers dare to come to such a place, and they are not afraid of being wiped out?
Large, thick-skinned loiters are a big threat to small, underfired, human settlements, and for warlords like Mouse City with all sorts of large weapons, loiterers are just a nuisance.
Even a pigpen city with rockets would not be terrifying to the wanderers, and even if it was a first-level rattlesnake legion, if they dealt with it with all their might, a few wanderers should not be a problem.
So what's wrong with these wanderers, or what kind of stimulus they were under, why did they come to Poplar Town?
There wasn't much time left for the worm to think wildly, and seeing that the wanderer in front of him had lifted the front of the pickup high and was ready to overturn it, just then, a motorcycle rushed out of the nearby alley and hit the wanderer's waist and crotch.
With a "bang", the pickup truck carrying the worm fell to the ground again, and the wanderer screamed and was knocked aside, its steps staggering, and finally it could stand firm against a house, and its two paws covered its crotch, apparently suffering a lot of injuries.
The motorcycle that saved the worm's life fell to the side of the road, and the turtledove shook its head, which had been devastated by the violent impact, and failed to get up from the ground after several attempts.
In addition to Venus, he is still Venus in front of him.
His ears were buzzing, and the turtledove struggled with all his might, but his hands and feet were so weak that it would take a while to recover. Crotch wounded, the wanderer's eyes shone with a cold light, and he opened his round mouthparts towards the turtledove.
Once caught by its barbed tongue, even if the turtledove is a "madman", it is impossible to parry, but the current turtledove is powerless to resist, because he can't even stand up.
The door of the pickup truck was open, and there were traces of heavy objects on the ground.
"Knock knock ......"
Miss Puff, who was spitting tongues of fire, was held in the hands of the worm, and behind her was a long bullet belt, and the steaming bullet casings fell at her feet like scattered flowers, and her face was also reflected in the firelight, and the machine gun sounded at the same time, and she gritted her teeth and roared.
