The highway out of the city was jammed with cars, horns honked everywhere, but no one dared to get out of the car. The survivors in this city were waiting anxiously, not knowing what was happening ahead.
At the front of the long convoy, a truck was lying across the middle.
The driver leaned over the steering wheel, and a large number of shiny black beetles with red marks crawled out of his mouth and nose, rustling and crawling all over the car. In the dark night, they quietly crawled to the next car like shadows.
No one noticed the danger yet and just kept honking the horn, trying to wake up the driver who seemed to be unconscious.
In the pitch-black night, a piece of human skin floated high in the sky, its hollow facial features looking down at the crowded vehicles below.
A gust of wind blew and it floated away.
"It's so weird, what's going on? The government doesn't care about it." In the front row of the car, a person was wrapped tightly, and when he saw that the car in front didn't move for a long time, he couldn't help complaining.
"The official must have run away first." One person was very angry. He tried to look out through the glass that was cleaned by the wipers, but he could only see a patch of green fluorescent dots.
It happened so suddenly that they didn't react at all. Even though many of their relatives and friends had died, their minds were still confused and they hadn't yet formed the concept of loss.
"There's a traffic jam. What should I do?" Lin Chu was anxious.
If we don't leave quickly, more and more people will die, and these things will only become more dense. Her voice leaked out from the helmet through the mask, and it sounded muffled.
"If there is no other choice, we can only leave on foot." Lu Yanli made a judgment, "Anyway, there are cars ahead."
"We might as well hurry over there now. It's only 10 kilometers, not far." The in-car map showed the distance. Lin Chu calculated and thought he could give it a try.
"Can."
Lin Chu tried to open the door, but something shocking happened - the car door couldn't be opened!
"Strange, is it broken?" No matter how Lin Chu tried to pry the handlebars, they didn't move at all, as if something was blocking the car door and preventing them from leaving.
The temperature inside the car quickly dropped to freezing point.
Without hesitation, both of them knew that this must be abnormal. Lu Yanli didn't hesitate, and quickly cut a hole in the front windshield with a metal knife, and then smashed the glass with a punch. The two of them fled quickly against the flying glass fragments, but just as they stood on the ground, the car behind them suddenly started on its own and crashed straight into them -
The driver of the vehicle behind stepped on the brakes desperately, but it was of no use. The two cars seemed to be controlled by an unknown force. The two cars collided with each other, making a loud noise. The collision did not end after the front of the car dented. The car reversed again on its own and rushed straight towards Lu Yanli, who had escaped to the bushes on the side of the road!
Lin Chu ran forward without looking back. She felt that it was not so easy for the other party to die. Looking back, she saw Lu Yanli standing there motionless, as if he was scared silly. But just before the car was about to hit him, he dodged and ran away.
The car hit the tree behind him, causing a loud explosion, gasoline leaking, and flames shooting into the sky. A car not far away was also hit instantly and exploded.
The tree trunks broke and fell, crushing the power lines, and then the poles began to shake, and the crisscross wires crackled and sparks flew.
Lu Yanli didn't care about these. He ran forward under the resentful gazes of those people, dodging the sparks falling from above from time to time.
He glanced at it inadvertently, and saw a white figure in his peripheral vision. When he looked carefully again, it disappeared again.
Lu Yanli didn't think it was an illusion. He ran and looked at the same time, but now there were only one car after another stopped on the road, all covered with green fluorescent dots.
Apart from this, there was no white figure at all, as if it was just his illusion.
Just now, he saw it again with the corner of his eye!
This time, the distance was closer.
It... yes, it must be following me.
Lu Yanli ran even faster. He didn't even say a word to Lin Chu and rushed over to overtake the opponent.
Soon, we arrived at the toll zone on the edge of the city.
Lu Yanli found the cause of the traffic jam.
The staff at the toll booth had long since died, leaving only a green skeleton hanging by the window, the railing had fallen, a truck was lying across the road, and the driver was nowhere to be found. Behind the toll booth was a long tunnel.
No one can pass unless the car is moved away.
and…
Lu Yanli took a few steps towards the tunnel.
He felt a faint stabbing pain in his head, a little bit, not very obvious. Lu Yanli shook his head, trying to shake off the feeling, but his vision was shaking, as if he had also shaken off the ball.
He looked intently. The tunnel was completely dark. Even if the lights of vehicles behind him shone through, there was no reflected light. After looking carefully for a long time, the darkness seemed to be moving as if it had life.
No... No...
Why did he ignore such strange phenomena again and again
Lu Yanli raised his head and looked up at the sky. The edge of the city was clearly divided into two areas, green and black. Both areas seemed to have life and wanted to devour the other's flesh. Therefore, the dividing line was also wriggling.
!
Like it has life!
Lu Yanli was shocked by his own mistake. He looked at the tunnel in front of him again, then turned to look at the green shadow behind him.
What if they are really some kind of organisms? They parasitize and reproduce on humans, and humans are their breeding ground and their resources.
They will also fight over it, right
Seeing Lu Yanli hesitate, Lin Chu took a breath through the thick mask. She slowly walked to the side of the truck and looked up.
She found a good angle and finally saw the driver in the mirror that was not yet completely covered with green light. He was slumped in the seat, his body shriveled, and it was obvious that he was not alive.
"How about we get this one?" Lin Chu suggested.
The truck has enough tonnage, so it can only crush others. Of course, its lack of flexibility is also a disadvantage. But now no one knows what is in the tunnel, so the truck makes them feel more at ease.
After hesitating for only a moment, Lu Yanli pried open the lock in two moves. As soon as the car door opened, the driver's body fell out.
It was not a corpse at all, it was just an empty shell, or in other words, a thicker human skin. He didn't know where the muscles, bones, blood, and internal organs had gone. Without much time to think, Lin Chu pulled the person away and followed Lu Yanli into the car, smashing the door to prevent the situation from happening again.
The drivers in the traffic not far from them all stared at them, but seeing that they were about to leave, no one said anything. Instead, they hoped that the two would move faster so that they could escape.
"Hurry! Hurry up!" In a car, a family of four escaped by chance. The mother was holding her sleeping baby, and everyone was wrapped tightly. They looked ahead expectantly, hoping that the truck would move away quickly.
Suddenly, something covered the windshield, as if it was blown by the wind, and stuck firmly there, blocking the entire view.
"Damn! What the hell is that!" the driver cursed and turned on the wipers again.
But this time, the wipers were entangled by something and could not be started. The thin layer of stuff was swaying on the glass in the wind, but it just wouldn't go away, which was very annoying. The driver was so angry that he smashed the horn hard.
The wind got stronger, at least the green fluorescent dots danced faster, causing the thing on the glass to float and change its angle for a long time, and finally, it left the windshield...
The driver had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was startled by his wife's scream.
That thing, that thing was stuck to the glass window beside him. It was clearly a piece of human skin! ! The face of the human skin was facing the family of four in the car. The facial features were dug out, and the corners of the mouth were raised, as if smiling. The soft hands were blown by the wind and stretched to the glass window of the back seat, swinging and slapping on the window.
“Ahh—help!!”
After the scream, the car window slowly opened.
Black corpse worms rustled out from inside. On the seats lay four light human skins with their hair fluttering in the wind.
Then they are blown by the wind to look for their next target.
There are still many living people here.
"There was a scream from behind, I guess something happened."
The truck moved the front of the car, and Lu Yanli waited for a while, letting the other two cars behind rush into the tunnel first. There was no unusual situation in the front, and he didn't know if it was safe, but there was already a commotion in the back.
Without hesitation, he stepped on the accelerator and drove the truck into the tunnel.
Just as the vehicle started, Lu Yanli saw it again!
This time he saw it clearly, it was a white shadow! It was even closer to him! However, in just a moment, the shadow disappeared again, and he had no idea where it was hiding.
Lu Yanli hardened his heart and rushed into the tunnel.
The stabbing pain in his head became more pronounced. He held it in, didn't move, and just endured it for the time being.
As soon as you enter, you can feel as if you have entered some kind of dark entity and are being swallowed up. Vehicles can hardly move forward and even the lights can't illuminate the darkness.
No... not darkness.
It's a bug.
Densely packed insects gather in the tunnels to act as hunters, patiently waiting for their prey to arrive.
The car in front rushed in without making any sound and was swallowed by the swarm of insects.
The headache got worse...
Fragmented fragments kept flashing before his eyes. He wanted to catch them, but he couldn't see clearly. The further he moved forward, the more painful it became, as if something was trying to pry open his skull.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Chu keenly noticed that Lu Yanli's breathing had become much faster and his movements were a little stiff, as if he was enduring something.
"You... come." Lu Yanli stepped on the accelerator and motioned for the other party to take over. The moment Lin Chu grabbed the steering wheel, he shrank in pain in his seat, his face pale.
The further he went, the more severe the pain became, as if to stop him from leaving the city. But Lu Yanli pressed the accelerator even lower, almost to the bottom. The vehicle rushed forward, crushing countless beetles, the wheels were covered with smelly mucus, and there was a constant beeping and peeling sound.
More insects flew from the front, hitting the car windows with a crackling sound, and were blown away by the strong wind.
Fortunately, the tunnel soon came to an end, and Lin Chu could see the light at the end.
She turned her head and saw that Lu Yanli was still wrapped tightly, with only a pair of eyes that were bright as fire, staring straight ahead.
"Are you not dizzy?"
Lu Yanli shook his head slowly.
He didn't even have the energy to speak, and was supported only by his will.
"It's good that you're not dizzy. Sit tight! Press the brake pedal all the way down!"
The truck rushed out of the tunnel, and the two men froze at the same time.
Outside the tunnel, a huge eye appeared in the night sky.
Seeing them come out, the bead turned and looked at Lu Yanli.
