Chapter 189

Boom, boom, boom!

The huge commotion still came from behind; as the off-road vehicle and motorcycle drove far away, the rumbling sound behind gradually faded away.

"Is everyone okay!"

Lin Xian pressed the communicator.

"No problem." Shu Qin and the Building's voices came.

At this moment, the mysterious light of the dark tide on the horizon flickered past, and darkness instantly shrouded the entire town.

Above the sky, a drizzling rain began to fall.

Several people's expressions tightened immediately; influenced by the experience of eerie bodies crawling all over the train last night, their eyes kept watching the surrounding darkness.

The off-road vehicle's headlights and the motorcycle's headlights sporadically pierced the darkness of the town streets; however, unexpectedly, no eerie bodies attacked in the darkness; except for the echoing roar of the engines, the whole street appeared quiet and desolate.

"Team Leader Lin, what was that thing just now?"

In the communicator, Shu Qin's voice came; Lin Xian breathed rapidly, responding while riding the bike fast: "If I'm not mistaken, what was inside that chemical plant was a large parasitic monster, not some blood-calamity plant, nor some special object that can resist eerie bodies; the reason why those eerie bodies outside couldn't get in is because the area within a few kilometers of this town..."

"Is all its territory!"

On the off-road vehicle, Shu Qin and the Building's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

Lin Xian was cursing in his heart; the so-called bone worm that Ding Qing gave him earlier was definitely not a good thing; he had calculated that he would definitely go to that chemical plant; although he advised him not to go, he deliberately didn't reveal the actual situation inside; it was truly a good method of killing with a borrowed knife!

Because this guy saved kiki and worked together to kill the white inverted monster, Lin Xian didn't directly show his suspicion about whether the parasites in the glass test tubes could really prevent pseudo-human invasion, but prepared to go back and let Director Ding research it first; he didn't expect something to happen immediately.

"Team Leader Lin, be careful."

At this moment, the voice in the communicator came; Lin Xian came back to his senses, raised his eyes, and immediately squeezed the motorcycle's brake.

Screech~

The sound of emergency braking in the street; Lin Xian stopped the bike, looked vigilantly at the town houses on both sides of the road, and slowly took down the gun from his back.

At this moment, in the surrounding houses, dozens of weak candlelight flames were lit sporadically, just like the situation they saw with the drone last night.

But the strange thing was, the street was silent, and those houses didn't look like anyone was living in them.

Lin Xian released the brake and drove forward slowly, his eyes scanning past the windows that were lit one by one.

At this moment, he discovered that in these windows lit by candlelight, there seemed to be a black human figure standing in each one, and as he approached, the figures inside also seemed to walk slowly to the window.

Lin Xian's pupils shrank; instantly, he saw a man with no expression and a pale body walk out of the shadows, stand by the window, and look at him with empty eyes.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth started to stretch into an eerie smile.

Pseudo-humans!

In an instant, Lin Xian felt a chill all over his body; several people looked up at this moment and saw that on the windows of the residential buildings along the town street where candlelight was lit, human figures started to appear continuously.

They were male or female, old or young, with the same clothing and attire as humans.

Some had realistic forms, while others had loose skin hanging, and twisted red worms on the muscle tissue inside were exposed in the gaps, looking very eerie, just like human skin that hadn't been put on properly.

"Run!"

The countless eerie gazes on the windows along the street fell on him, making Lin Xian feel a sinister chill; he roared the accelerator directly and rushed out of the town quickly with the off-road vehicle.

On the freight platform of Rain Town, the lights inside the Infinite carriage carried a warm glow; Chen Sixuan stood on the shooting cabin on the roof of carriage No. 2 with a sniper rifle, looking anxiously at the fast-approaching headlights; Sasha, Lu Xingchen, Miao Lu, and others were also preparing to cover and support outside. Hum!

The off-road vehicle and motorcycle drove onto the platform quickly; the lifting board of carriage No. 11 was lowered in advance; the Building skillfully drove the car in, and Lin Xian and kiki also drove the motorcycle up.

After the lifting board rose and the cockpit door was closed, Lin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Sixuan came down from the shooting cabin, closed the roof, and said nervously.

Lin Xian looked at the abrasions on his body and shook his head: "Lucky."

He scanned the carriages behind and asked Chen Sixuan: "What about you?"

"We found quite a few things in those warehouses," Sasha stood out at this moment and said: "We didn't encounter any monsters; Sister Chen said you encountered some pseudo-humans, so we were scared and ran onto the car, just waiting for you to come back."

Lin Xian nodded, feeling relieved in his heart.

It seems his judgment was correct; for such a strange and unknown place, it's better not to let those ordinary people with unknown combat power go exploring, otherwise they would really become cannon fodder, and besides increasing casualties in vain, they wouldn't be able to help much.

"What should we do now? It's dark; are we going to set off?" Chen Sixuan said with a worried expression.

Hearing Lin Xian talk about that kind of human-like monster just now made her feel uncomfortable all over; this kind of fear even exceeded those worm-like and spider-like monsters.

!

Lin Xian breathed a few times, opened the blackout board, looked at the dark platform outside the window and the silhouette of the town shrouded in the dark night, and said with a solemn expression: "Let's observe for a while; if that parasitic monster doesn't chase us, our best choice is to stay here until dawn; if it chases us, we'll leave quickly; everyone be prepared, we might set off at any time."

"Okay."

Everyone responded; Lin Xian asked Shu Qin, the Building, and others to check every carriage, while Chen Sixuan went to the cockpit, opened the train limit in advance, and guarded there, prepared to set off at any time.

The night was desolate; because of the appearance of pseudo-humans, people on the train were talking about it, and an atmosphere of worry filled the carriage; at this moment, being in this town with pseudo-humans and some kind of parasite, everyone looked at the darkness outside, and that feeling of eeriness was even worse than last night.

Lin Xian came to the cockpit and saw Chen Sixuan sitting upright, her face full of anxiety; he comforted her: "Don't be too nervous; we are still safe on the train; kiki and I encountered them during the day; except for that big parasite in the chemical plant, those pseudo-humans don't have strong combat power; as long as we increase our caution, it should be fine."

"Hmm, I know." Chen Sixuan sighed with a worried look: "But I'm thinking, if these things appear in other places, I don't know how many fleets will encounter them, and they can even appear during the day."

Lin Xian pondered: "Not necessarily; currently, it seems those pseudo-humans are controlled by some kind of parasite and should all be related to that big eerie body in the chemical plant; it's very likely that these things can only be active within a certain range."

"I hope so." Chen Sixuan nodded: "By the way, Director Ding seems to be busy with something over there; do you want to go and see?"

"I was just about to look for her."

Regarding the parasite issue, Lin Xian felt he needed to communicate with Director Ding.

But just as Lin Xian turned around, Chen Sixuan behind him suddenly grabbed his wrist: "Lin Xian, look!"

Lin Xian turned his head hurriedly, only to see a human figure approaching quickly in the darkness of the platform outside the cockpit porthole, and judging from the form, the figure wasn't running, but floating.

His expression changed immediately, and he prepared to attack; who knew, the black shadow appeared quickly within the range of the headlights, and a familiar face with anger appeared in Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan's line of sight.

It was kiki!

She flew quickly to the side of the car window, her face pale, and shouted loudly at Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan outside the car, looking angry.

"Lin Xian, you bastard, why didn't you wait for me before coming back!!"
