Chapter 187

"Huh, this... what is this thing?"

Lin Xian frowned, picked up the glass test tube in his hand, and saw the worm inside curling up listlessly.

"This is called a bone worm." The other woman named Duan Min spoke up at this moment: "No need to worry about the name; anyway, it's found in the spinal cord of these pseudo-humans. Having this thing in hand can effectively prevent the invasion of pseudo-humans."

Lin Xian looked at the two: "Have you been here for a long time?"

"Not too long, about a week or so." Ding Qing kicked the corpse of the dead white inverted monster on the ground and said: "Just like you, we were also chased here by eerie bodies at night."

"A week, and you've stayed here for so long even though it's so dangerous?" kiki looked puzzled.

"We..."

Before the woman could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Ding Qing: "Let's talk outside; this kind of place without light is very strange, and who knows what kind of ghost things might pop out."

After Ding Qing finished speaking, he shook his long spear and walked directly toward the emergency exit.

Lin Xian and kiki exchanged glances and followed him out.

Clang~

The cinema fire door was kicked open, and Ding Qing, Lin Xian, and the other two walked out one after another; at this time, all of them carried a strong smell of blood, and the battle just now had been quite dangerous.

The most troublesome thing about this unknown eerie body was not knowing its methods; although its size was not large, it was the fastest thing Lin Xian had ever seen; with its long arms and legs like a spider, it crawled in front of them in the blink of an eye, and ordinary people wouldn't even have time to react.

The afternoon sun was scorching, and a mountain off-road vehicle was parked on the street behind the cinema; it looked like they had driven here after Lin Xian.

"Where is your fleet?" Lin Xian looked at the off-road vehicle, which also had thick armor, and asked immediately.

"We found a temporary shelter ourselves; there's no need to tell you the location, right." Ding Qing smiled faintly: "But your train has quite a presence; we noticed you as soon as you arrived last night; not bad, quite cautious, not entering the town at night; although you look young, you have the look of a leader."

kiki asked: "Ah, then were you the ones who lit the lights in the town last night?"

"How is that possible." The woman named Duan Min said directly upon hearing this: "Do you think normal people would light lights like that? Those are all pseudo-humans, and at night, they also..."

Halfway through, she seemed to have some reservations and said: "Anyway, it's very dangerous at night; I advise you to leave here as soon as possible."

Lin Xian weighed the parasite bottle in his hand: "May I ask, how did you discover the function of this thing?"

Ding Qing looked at Lin Xian with a slightly stern gaze and said straight to the point: "Kid, we're all smart people; do I even need to say it?"

"Oh~" kiki gave a long 'oh', "It's so dangerous here, and you've stayed here for a week; you must know the reason why this place can shield against the eerie bodies of the night, right."

The two did not speak; in fact, the answer was obvious; the other party's goal was the same as Lin Xian's.

On the way to escape, they encountered such a strange place; any normal person would come to find the reason; if one had to say, compared to the dangers outside, as far as it currently looked, this small town at least didn't have a zombie tide riot or eerie things filling the cars.

Ding Qing didn't cover it up either and said directly: "I advise you not to be too curious about the specific reason; leave as soon as you can if you can; you saw the danger just now; these pseudo-humans don't distinguish between day and night, and there are those things hiding in the dark, so if you really want to be active in this town, it's best to carry this bone worm; this is experience we exchanged for the lives of several brothers." Pseudo-humans...

Lin Xian pondered in his heart; the monster wearing human skin just now was truly shocking.

Especially the female pseudo-human just now; he and kiki hadn't identified it at all; the only thing that felt strange was that the woman didn't speak; not only that, there wasn't even a sound from her throat, and kiki also noticed that the thing's breathing and heartbeat were very strange; now that he thought about it, it probably wasn't a heartbeat at all...

"So are you planning to leave here?" Lin Xian asked immediately when he saw Ding Qing getting into the car.

Ding Qing looked at Lin Xian with a scrutinizing gaze, paused, and then said: "Little brother, I know what you're thinking; you must think there's something special in this town that can defend against the eerie bodies of the night, but I tell you there isn't; however, I know you won't believe me, so..."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger toward the direction of the chemical plant outside the town: "If you are really curious, you can go there and take a look, but don't blame me for not warning you; it's very dangerous there."

After speaking, Ding Qing gestured to the woman, and then the off-road vehicle's engine started, quickly disappearing around the street corner.

"I thought they were the ones lighting the lights at night; put that way, those candlelight flames are indeed a bit strange." kiki said: "But the strange thing is, who sent the message through the intercom, and who changed the track switch for us in advance?"

Lin Xian looked toward the chemical plant: "We'll know when we go there."

"Do you want to go and see? Aren't you afraid of traps?" kiki looked at him and asked curiously.

Lin Xian took out the communicator, contacted Chen Sixuan and Shu Qin, synchronized the pseudo-human information from just now with them, and then asked Shu Qin and the others to come over; he was prepared to go to that chemical plant to investigate.

!

Originally, he and kiki were planning to head there to investigate next, but unexpectedly, this Jin Gang fleet suddenly popped up, and the appearance of the pseudo-human made Lin Xian somewhat wary of the situation here; in fact, according to his temperament, he would have let the fleet leave immediately, but Lin Xian was indeed very interested in the phenomenon that could shield against the eerie bodies of the night.

"You can't believe everything they say." Lin Xian walked directly toward the entrance of the cinema and found their motorcycle.

"You noticed it too?" kiki said.

Lin Xian said with a stern expression: "Could it be that the two of them suddenly appeared here just to save us?"

He took out the two glass test tubes, looked at the parasites curling up slowly inside, and said: "If, as they said, this thing can prevent the invasion of pseudo-humans, that means they are also looking for, or have looked for, the secret of shielding against eerie bodies in the town."

Lin Xian started the motorcycle, let kiki sit in the back this time, and said: "It's impossible for no one to be curious about this phenomenon; there must be a secret in this town; but for the sake of caution, let's take advantage of the daylight, go over there, and use a drone to investigate first."

kiki nodded: "Hmm~ insightful, that's what I was thinking too."

After speaking, she hugged Lin Xian's waist tightly and said loudly: "Driver, let's go; I never want to come to this kind of cinema again."

Hum~

The motorcycle sped away.

On top of the tallest clock tower in the town, the glare of a telescope flickered slightly; a young man was intently watching the fast-moving motorcycle heading toward the freight platform outside the town in the distance, while saying into the intercom: "Brother Ding, looks like they're preparing to go to the chemical plant; this is the fourth batch this week, right? Didn't we warn them?"

A hoarse voice came from the other end of the intercom: "Let them go; don't worry about them; since they've already come, they won't be able to leave even if they want to."
