Chapter 1979: The Mystery of the Ghost Skull 40

Watch both sides!

Zhang Tie! You carry Gu Siman!

He sprinted desperately.

The quiet city was shattered by a series of sharp whistles; behind Lin An, clusters of invisible flames pursued relentlessly, igniting everything along the way.

Although Gu Yi'er's sacrifice was effective, a large number of ghostly creatures followed and rushed into the flames, being burned to death.

But there were simply too many ghosts; many of those not burned to death burned like ghost fire and chased after them.

While fleeing and taking photos, seeing the ghostly shadows on both sides' rooftops, Gao Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Too many, really too many!

Not only behind them, but not only that batch from Shang Cheng either.

After they escaped the first block, even ahead of them ghosts began to appear!

It was as if these things had already filled the entire city; they just hadn't 'seen' them before!

Judging by the current situation, not to mention escaping the encirclement, in just a few minutes their stamina will be exhausted!

"Brother Lin!? What do we do!!"

"Lin An! Quickly think of a solution!!"

"Bang bang bang! Bang!"

The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out one after another; under extreme exhaustion, Jin Niu panted heavily, feeling as if his lungs were about to burst!

Unsolvable! Unsolvable! It's completely unsolvable!

At this moment, besides hoping Lin An could think of a solution, he truly didn't know what to do!

However, before Lin An could even try to find a way out, the next second a muffled groan and the sound of shattering glass were heard as a ghostly creature leapt from a street-side window and lunged straight onto Zhang Tie.

Blood spattered; Gu Siman's arm was bitten off in one gulp, and in Zhang Tie's horrified gaze, the ghostly creature threw Gu Siman to the ground and began devouring him in large bites.

He couldn't see the ghost, but he could see that a large piece of Gu Siman's face had been torn away!

"Damn!"

Xiong Hanzi instinctively grabbed his battle axe to save someone, but since he couldn't see the ghost's trace, his axe swing would likely kill Gu Siman first.

For a moment, Zhang Tie was both shocked and angry, and instinctively shouted at Gao Tian:

"Camera! Gao Tian!!!"

"Go...! Don't... don't worry about me!!"

Knocked to the ground by an invisible ghost and devoured, even his throat was bitten through.

Knowing he couldn't survive, Gu Siman endured the pain and desperately waved his hand, signaling Zhang Tie and the others not to bother with him.

"Go... ah!!"

Unlike before, perhaps someone could still save him earlier, but now, knowing Lin An could barely protect himself, Gu Siman summoned all his strength, suddenly looked at Lin An, and shouted desperately:

"Lin... An...!"

"Imagination definitely exists... but not necessarily...!"

"I... wiped out... the word...! Run!!"

Before death, Gu Siman bitterly smiled in his heart, yet still uttered his hidden words.

He originally thought he could trade a little to keep others from abandoning him, but by this point he realized it was completely unnecessary; of course, he also never figured out what that sentence actually meant.

The mission's difficulty was too great; even Gu Siman himself never imagined that one day he would hope an alien race could complete the mission and revive them!

"Lin An! Go!!"

As Gu Siman's head was bitten off directly, Jin Niu didn't have time to think, seeing Lin An suddenly stunned, he shouted urgently.

Now is not the time to be dazed; no matter what Gu Siman said, the urgent priority is to escape first!

Twenty-eight seconds later.

"Bang bang! Bang! Bang!"

Numerous muffled heavy object landing sounds rang out again; only to see, at the very front of Lin An's group, large batches of ghosts kept falling onto the road blocked by cars.

Car roofs dented, glass shattered.

If a photo were taken with a camera at this moment, one would clearly see tens of thousands of fierce ghosts leaping down from buildings in all directions.

Gu Siman's death bought them less than ten seconds, and that time was only enough for them to run out of an intersection.

Faced with such desperation, even Jin Niu thought of giving up.

"Lin An... we... we might really all die here..!"

"Why is it so hard, why is it like this! How on earth is this mission supposed to be completed!!!!"

Emotions out of control, even though Jin Niu was a Star Annihilator, from the moment he entered the mission he had never found any hope of completing it.

Too chaotic! Too chaotic!

They were supposed to supplement their cognition, yet they couldn't find anyone else! Although the camera they found could photograph ghosts, they still don't know what a ghost skull actually is!

With great difficulty they pieced together a bit of a plan, but they weren't given even a moment to catch their breath!

To be frank, watching the Giant Demon God Arrow fall one after another, Qing Kai and his group probably didn't even know where they died; Jin Niu simply felt this mission was utterly unsolvable!

He doesn't even know where he went wrong, but they are clearly Star Annihilators!

Unlike Jin Niu's despair, Lin An continued to strive for opportunities; for him, lasting even one more second was valuable!

"Go through the building!"

"150 meters southwest, charge into the subway station!"

In desperation, Lin An seemed to have truly found a path that wasn't exactly a way out but still a way out.

Only to see, beside the road ahead to their right front, a bright yellow subway sign stood at the roadside; on the simple guidance board, Lin An even saw a route map that ran through the entire city!

Pass through the subway! The greatest danger now is ghosts jumping down from high places! Entering the subway tunnel, although their escape route will be restricted, as long as they can find a way to block the ghosts pursuing from behind, they might still be able to escape to the city's outskirts!

As the words fell, Jinniu's eyes widened sharply, evidently also noticing the sign under Lin An's reminder.

Subway!?

Right! He remembered that near the apartment where they entered, there seemed to be a subway exit! As long as they fled two more intersections from the exit, that would be the task exit marked by the system!

No time to consider whether they counted as completing their cognition, dead horse as living horse doctor, Jinniu seemed to ignite his last fighting spirit, hurriedly following behind Lin An and charging out!

Almost expending all his strength like sucking milk, but just as Jinniu lowered his head and sprinted, following behind Lin An into the pitch-black subway station, a sound of bewilderment mixed with an urgent shout suddenly rang out from inside the subway entrance:

"Lin An!? Zhang Tie!?"

"Fuck! Run! There are ghosts in the subway too!!"

Only a silhouette was seen rushing out from beneath the subway passage, running at a speed even faster than Lin An and the others.

Through the light, a face drenched in sweat suddenly appeared before everyone.

That...!?

"Jiang Haochen!?"
