Chapter 33
The street under the thick fog appeared incredibly eerie, with even the sunlight almost completely obscured.
Lin Xian and Kiki drove to an empty stretch of road and suddenly stopped the bike.
"Something's not right."
Lin Xian also felt an eerie aura at this moment. He immediately drew his short knife from his back, his face full of vigilance.
Rustle~
Patter patter~
The sound moved from far to near, quickly turning into a mountain-shaking roar.
Hearing this sound, both of them changed their expressions instantly!
"Zombies?" Lin Xian shouted.
"Doesn't look like it..."
As they spoke, several zombies suddenly rushed out of the thick fog in front of the motorcycle. Lin Xian took a look and saw that these zombies were very different from the ones they had encountered before. Their skin was gray and rotten, they ran quickly, and some even climbed on all fours like animals.
This scene reminded him of "Old Man Li" he had encountered the night he saved Kiki at the Jiang City shelter!
In the blink of an eye, a tide of corpses rushed out behind these strange corpses, scaring Kiki's little face pale. She immediately shouted, "Hold on!"
Then she released the brake and roared the throttle. The rear wheel of the motorcycle spun rapidly under the powerful traction, rubbing a cloud of white smoke on the ground.
"Forward!"
Lin Xian didn't say a word, raised his hand, and shot a wind gun at the front, blowing the head off a strange male corpse that was pouncing on them!
Ugh ah!!!!
Piercing screams erupted everywhere, and the motorcycle shot forward, barely avoiding the claws of several strange corpses. Lin Xian was like facing a great enemy, sitting in the back holding a knife to hack with his right hand, while his left hand continuously shot wind guns, starting to escape from the continuous tide of corpses.
Bang!
A wind gun cut a female corpse in half. At this moment, a black strange insect was also blown out from the back of the corpse. Lin Xian took a look, and his expression sank instantly.
"These aren't ordinary zombies!"
He was terrified in his heart. According to past experience, didn't these eerie bodies only appear at night? Why would they appear outside in broad daylight?
"Damn it!"
Kiki, who was driving, looked at the dozen or so strange corpses pouncing on them instantly. In her anxiety, she gritted her teeth and waved her hand. Hum! A powerful shockwave appeared, instantly blowing the strange corpses in front away, and the motorcycle successfully broke through the encirclement.
Lin Xian saw Kiki make a move and immediately felt something was wrong. The motorcycle handlebars trembled slightly. He tilted his head and saw Kiki's face visibly pale, and her hands controlling the motorcycle were trembling.
He immediately activated his Mechanical Heart to control the motorcycle. Just as Kiki was wondering why the motorcycle suddenly became uncontrollable, Lin Xian behind her suddenly pulled her to the back seat, got on the front seat himself, and engaged the throttle to move forward again.
"Hey, what are you doing~"
"There's something wrong with this fog, don't use your ability casually!"
All survivors knew that terrifying eerie things would appear at night. Now it was daytime, and Lin Xian had originally thought that with the two of them as ability users, they should be able to handle it easily. But the appearance of these strange corpses caught Lin Xian off guard.
These eerie bodies were much faster than zombies. If ordinary people didn't have firearms, they wouldn't even have time to react. This immediately made him want to retreat. If eerie bodies could appear in the thick fog, wouldn't that mean it was very likely that things like white giant monsters or that red giant centipede would appear?
Lin Xian's thoughts turned, and he immediately prepared to abandon the original target.
"Turn left ahead." Kiki behind him, perhaps feeling her own weakness, rarely didn't bicker with Lin Xian, but instead hugged his back obediently like a little cat.
She was already a bit cold, and after using her ability, she felt even more shivering, so she unconsciously hugged Lin Xian tighter, enduring her racing heart to seek the temperature behind Lin Xian.
"We probably can't go to the place you mentioned, let's go back!" Lin Xian said decisively.
Kiki looked back at the tide of corpses surging behind the motorcycle, her face ugly as she complained, "How can we go back..."
Lin Xian looked at the rearview mirror and then at the map. If he wanted to return to Beiwan Station, besides going back the way they came, he could only detour around the city's outer highway. Now being chased by the tide of corpses, he couldn't turn back at all.
Just at this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air rang out. Lin Xian looked at the thick fog ahead and immediately felt the hair on his body stand up!
He decisively squeezed the brake and swung the front of the bike. The next second, something like a bamboo pole suddenly shot down from above, and with a "ding," it inserted into the ground beside them, smashing a small pit into the cement ground, with rubble flying everywhere!
Lin Xian was instantly covered in cold sweat. If he hadn't subconsciously turned, he might have been pierced through by this thing. "What is this thing?!" Kiki exclaimed.
The rear wheel of the motorcycle spun crazily, making a screeching sound. Just after driving a few meters, the sound of breaking through the air rang out again.
"Careful!"
Thud!
Another sharp pillar fell from above. Lin Xian twisted the handlebars and almost crashed head-on.
This time, he saw clearly that this "bamboo pole-like pillar" seemed to be covered with dense black fluff, looking like some kind of living creature.
"Bad guy, look up!"
At this moment, Kiki patted Lin Xian's shoulder in terror, and Lin Xian immediately looked up.
He saw that in the fog above their heads, there was a huge black shadow in the shape of a spider. The outline of the buildings on the street appeared a bit small in front of it. The six slender spider legs that were completely out of proportion seemed to be more than ten meters long, and the thing that had just shot down from above was clearly one of its spider claws.
"What the hell..." Lin Xian's pupils trembled, and he cursed inwardly. Why did everything he feared come true?
This eerie giant spider made one's sanity drop rapidly. Lin Xian didn't even think and slammed the throttle to the end, rushing into the thick fog ahead.
!
"So annoying, why is it either bugs or spiders!!" Kiki shrank her neck and hugged Lin Xian tightly, cursing.
Lin Xian was tense, focusing entirely on the road in the fog ahead.
Thud~ thud! Thud! Thud!
The strange spider had clearly set its sights on Lin Xian. Several slender legs moved quickly, constantly stabbing down from the thick fog!
"To the left!" Kiki shouted.
Lin Xian quickly changed direction.
"Above your head!"
Lin Xian squeezed the brake again.
But the spider's legs were really too long, and its speed moving quickly between the buildings was much faster than Lin Xian's.
Thud~ thud! Thud! Thud!
He only heard a giant object climbing on the buildings above. In just a moment, the strange spider stretched out several long legs and inserted them into the intersection ahead of time, blocking Lin Xian's path as if playing with prey.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the giant spider slowly descending from the thick fog ahead, Lin Xian immediately prepared to raise his hand and shoot a wind gun.
Who knew that at this moment, the sound of a car engine roaring suddenly exploded, white spotlights pierced through the fog from another direction of the intersection, and in an instant, a huge modified pickup truck rushed out!
Bang!
The huge impact force knocked down several of the giant spider's long legs at once, and the giant spider fell down unsteadily.
In a flash of lightning, the modified pickup truck made a flexible drift and stopped in front of them.
Clang!
The rear board of the pickup truck was lowered, and a girl of about eleven or twelve years old shouted at them, "Get on quickly!"
Lin Xian understood immediately. Without much hesitation, he squeezed the throttle and drove the motorcycle onto the back of the pickup truck. The little girl immediately patted the side of the truck board. "Alright, brother!"
Roar~
Without a moment's delay, the modified pickup truck roared the throttle and rushed out.
At this time, the strange spider seemed to feel teased and hissed angrily. Six long legs climbed on the ground crazily and quickly chased after the pickup truck.
