A loud bang followed.
Luo Xiaole looked towards the rear of the car.
She saw an exceptionally dark creature suddenly land on the tail of their car.
It seemed to have dropped from the tall trees nearby.
It then violently impacted their car's rear, as if trying to punch a hole through it.
At the same time, an identical creature dropped in front of them.
"Screech!" The car was abruptly brought to a halt.
Luo Xiaole had sensed the danger approaching and pulled her protective clothing tighter and tighter, even putting on goggles, covering herself from head to toe so tightly that breathing was difficult.
Fortunately, this time there was no stiffening.
Luo Xiaole looked at the monster, always feeling a sense of familiarity despite not having seen this kind of zombie before.
The zombie was completely dark, with what looked like a tentacle growing from its head. It was frantically slamming its body against the front and rear of the car, making the entire vehicle feel like it was about to be flipped over…
The soldier raised his gun, about to get out and shoot at the monster.
"No, don't get out of the car! Don't go near it!" Luo Xiaole shouted quickly.
The characteristics of this tentacle zombie, how could they sound so much like the tentacle zombies that, as she had forced out of Zuo Ran, would cause parasitic infection and eventual zombification!
Li Xiaotian must have been attacked by this type of zombie, been infected, and died…
"Whatever you do, don't touch the liquid they spray!" she added quickly.
The next second, as expected, the zombie at the front of the car twitched its tentacles a few times and, like a squid, sprayed a stream of black liquid at the windshield.
The front windshield instantly looked like it had been doused with ink, and nothing could be seen.
The black liquid scattered on the car window was actually wriggling, as if alive…
Zhou Shoushan's gaze shifted back to Luo Xiaole with some surprise. This little girl knew quite a lot.
"This is a bit tricky now…" Luo Xiaole sighed inwardly.
She fumbled in her pockets, it seemed there wasn't much that could be useful.
At this moment, a gust of wind arose from somewhere and forcefully blew away the wriggling liquid on the window.
Luo Xiaole's heart rejoiced. It was Lin Xia! Such decisive action!
The liquid, separated from its host, could no longer find a target to infect. Coupled with the wind from the ability user, it seemed to lose its vitality, silently falling to the ground nearby, gradually shriveling, and finally disappearing…
Luo Xiaole silently vowed to give Lin Xia an extra meal tonight, letting her eat all she desired! She was too amazing!
Seeing its attack fail, the tentacle zombie became furious.
It charged forward blindly, using its body to crash into the car, attempting to break through the glass.
Luo Xiaole seized this opportunity to quickly open the window and hurled a thumbtack in her hand at the tentacle zombie in front!
"Clang!"
The zombie's tentacle was abruptly severed and fell to the ground with a "thud."
The tentacle zombie let out an enraged howl!
Luo Xiaole flung a few more thumbtacks!
This time, the thumbtacks instantly pierced its brainstem!
But the zombie didn't die…
It seemed to melt into a pool of water, and then, like a water snake, it slithered away towards the woods, its body twisting awkwardly…
Luo Xiaole's mouth fell open. What kind of new escape method was this…
But she hadn't forgotten, there was still one behind them!
Seeing that they were not easy to deal with, the zombie turned and sprinted towards the car behind.
"Bang!" It leaped up and landed on the roof of Luo Shu's car.
"Get down here!" Luo Xiaole aimed at the rear, pulling out a few new thumbtacks, about to throw them…
A huge dark shadow swooped down silently from above!
Luo Xiaole was startled, and the thumbtacks in her hand were instantly deflected.
The shadow looked somewhat familiar. Its massive body appeared, seemingly blocking out the sky and obscuring their vision.
The creature swooped down like a glider, its sharp claws raking towards Luo Xiaole.
Luo Xiaole had already switched to her dagger and was about to retaliate.
She only felt someone gently but quickly pull the hood of her sweatshirt backward, and she was yanked fiercely into someone's embrace.
Immediately after, the gleam of an incredibly sharp silver dagger flashed past her ear.
Mo Shen swung forward with decisive precision!
The creature's claw was instantly severed at the ankle, the cut surface incredibly smooth.
"Gaaah!" The figure roared and took flight again.
Luo Xiaole finally saw clearly. It was the bat zombie they had encountered at the airport!
"What's going on!" she grumbled inwardly. Why were these two types of creatures meeting again here? Were they packaged together!
Or did the presence of Qin Mingyang somehow attract and summon these two types of creatures!
Was Qin Mingyang a jinx then!
Qin Mingyang and jinx, in Luo Xiaole's mind, had silently become synonymous.
Several more such giant figures swooped down from the sky.
They landed between Luo Xiaole and Luo Shu's cars.
The entire convoy was instantly cut in half.
"Roar!" Some figures swooped down again, landing on the roof of Luo Xiaole's car, immediately pressing claw marks into the roof.
The bat zombies behind them also launched attacks on Luo Shu and Lin Xia.
"Sit tight." Mo Shen gently pulled Luo Xiaole up from his embrace.
He exchanged a few quick hand signals with the soldier in the driver's seat.
The soldier quickly got up and swapped positions with Mo Shen.
Mo Shen's eyes, deep and placid like a tranquil sea, scanned ahead, calculating the timing of the zombie's next attack.
He quickly extended his hand, making a gesture for the other cars to retreat, then swiftly retracted it and closed the car window. The soldiers in the rear cars nodded grimly.
A few of Lin Xia's bodyguards were also former military personnel and immediately honked to signal their understanding.
When the time was right, Mo Shen spoke again, "Xiaole, provoke them."
"Huh? Okay… okay!" She thought for a moment and took out all the remaining thumbtacks from her pocket.
These were her last supplies.
At a certain moment, Mo Shen's breath hitched, and the next second he stomped on the accelerator.
The car instantly surged forward like a race car!
Luo Xiaole also flung the thumbtacks backward with precision. Almost every thumbtack hit a non-critical part of a bat zombie.
But they all found them extremely irritating.
"Awooo!" The enraged roars of the bat zombies erupted, and in an instant, the sky was filled with the sound of their flapping wings.
All the bat zombies took to the air, forming a dense, dark cloud, and swooped down ferociously towards Mo Shen's rapidly speeding vehicle!
The two cars behind them gritted their teeth and quickly reversed. Mo Shen was driving to draw away those bat zombies, but the tentacle zombie overhead was still trying to attack them…
Lin Xia's wind ability activated rapidly, and with all her might, she blew, finally shaking the tentacle zombie, causing it to lose its balance and fall to the ground.
Luo Shu seized the opportunity, flung a small knife, and embedded it in the zombie's head, pinning it to the ground!
Who would have thought that the zombie would struggle forcefully, tear off half its head, and then, like Sadako, drag itself across the ground, leaving a trail of black blood, and wriggle rapidly towards them…
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Zhou Xiaojun yelled uncontrollably at the soldier driving the car.
"Damn it, am I really going to see a zombie turn into Sadako in my lifetime? What is this!"
The two cars quickly reversed, took a sharp turn at an intersection, and sped back the way they came!
"Let me see where to go…" Luo Shu hurriedly took out a map from his spatial storage.
"Left, left, there's a small road! We can take a shortcut there to cross the overpass!" he shouted.
"Let me see where Xiaole and the others went. We need to figure out where we'll meet them…"
"Holy crap… there are several forks in the road ahead of them, and each exit leads to a different place, and they don't connect to the main road! Even if we catch up now, we won't know which fork they took…" He was horrified.
More importantly…
Luo Shu abruptly put down the map in his hand and shivered.
This map was the only one, and it was in their hands. What about Luo Xiaole and the others…
