I've spent two days writing this chapter, and I'm only halfway through it. It's getting a little difficult … Let's not wait any longer.]
"First, we need to know the whereabouts of that duoluozhong." Lin Sanjiu looked at her three companions and said with a serious expression, "Marcie was the one who heard the thud at the start, right? Where did it come from? "
At that moment, the four vehicles were parked at the roadside in the same sequence as the previous time. The four of them stood on the roof of the bus with their brows furrowed. Marcie closed her eyes and thought for a while. Then, she said, "I was driving at that time, and the sound was very loud. I can't tell exactly where it was, but I'm sure that the sound was very indistinct. It should have come from some distance away from the driver's seat. "
"That should be the middle and back of the bus …" Lin Sanjiu walked to the middle and back of the bus. Suddenly, she exerted strength in her legs and jumped high into the air. Now that Lin Sanjiu had increased her stamina, her jumping ability was not to be underestimated. She managed to jump as high as a person.
As her pair of shoes landed heavily on the roof of the car, there was only a soft thud.
"Such a small sound can't be heard when we're driving," Lin Sanjiu concluded. "A duoluozhong should weigh at least half as much as I do, right? If that's the case, that guy must have jumped from a very high place. "
"From a very high place …" The four of them frowned as they recalled the tall buildings they had passed during their previous journey.
Marcie suddenly asked, "That duoluozhong has already landed on my bus. Why didn't it come to kill me? Why did it choose to kill Luther instead? The front of the bus is very high, so it's easy for me to see it. "
"Maybe it wants us to do a chain tailgating?" Vole looked around, "When the second bus got into trouble, the other two buses behind it were also finished. My bus hit the back of your bus … but I'm fine. "
"If you want to cause a chain tailgating, wouldn't it be faster to kill Xiao Jiu?" Luther asked.
Vole took a deep breath and thought for a while. Then, he gave up, "Who knows? Maybe the duoluozhong is sick and picked you randomly."
"Then, will it pick me again? Or will he pick someone else at random again? "The more Luther thought about it, the more frustrated he became." Damn it! This countdown gives too little information. We can't deduce anything at all! "
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Lin Sanjiu walked over to him and patted his shoulder. She consoled him, "I think it's not that hard to avoid this disaster. At least, one thing is for sure, and that is the location of the accident. We will stop the car before we reach that slope. We will search and patrol the area. We will kill every duoluozhong we see. I don't believe that we can't make it through! "
Her resolute tone immediately brought confidence to the rest of them. Well, it's just a duoluozhong!
"That's right … This time, we'll strike first!" Vole smiled and echoed.
After the initial plan was finalized, the convoy quickly set off again in the scorching night wind.
In order to avoid complications, the order of the vehicles was exactly the same as last time. The only difference was that they had learned their lesson from last time. All the windows were rolled down, and everyone had a handy weapon in their hands.
Along the way, they drove very slowly, and no one spoke. Everyone was listening intently, not willing to miss even the slightest movement. Lin Sanjiu felt her mouth go dry. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten her throat. Suddenly, Marcie's soft voice came from the walkie-talkie, "They're here!"
"Everyone, brake!" Lin Sanjiu shouted into the walkie-talkie. She stepped on the brakes and quickly turned off the engine. Then, she grabbed the police baton beside her and jumped out of the car.
The slope where the four of them died was right in front of them. The four cars stopped at the bottom of the slope. Almost at the same time, Luther, Marcie, and Vole jumped out of their cars. They surrounded the bus with their weapons in their hands and looked at the roof of the bus in unison.
Even though there was no light at night without human civilization, with the help of the Citroën's headlights and their evolved night vision, they could see clearly that there was a dark-colored shadow lying in the middle of the bus. Looking at that long, swaying mouthpart, what else could it be if not a duoluozhong?
When the duoluozhong saw that it was surrounded, it stood up abruptly, turned around, and ran away. Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened and she sucked in a breath of cold air.
The duoluozhong's body did not shrink at all. It was no different from a normal human!
How many people's body fluids did it need to absorb to reach such a level? Even its running speed was the same as a normal human … If it wasn't for its mouthpart, Lin Sanjiu would have thought that it was a normal human.
"You want to run away after killing me? Dream on! " Luther was the first to react. He gritted his teeth and stomped on the ground. Then, like an arrow, he dashed far away in the blink of an eye. Lin Sanjiu and Marcie followed closely behind him.
Vole, the only one who didn't have much combat power, ran a few steps before he stopped, panting. He shouted at the back of the three people, "I'm here to keep a lookout. You guys can do it —"
Even though the duoluozhong's speed was almost the same as a normal human's, none of the three people chasing it were normal humans. In less than half a minute, the three of them blocked the way and surrounded the duoluozhong.
The duoluozhong stared at them motionlessly. The three of them were also on their guard. For a moment, none of them made the first move.
When they saw the duoluozhong up close and face to face, the three of them immediately felt nauseous.
The duoluozhong was obviously a male. His skin was full and moist. Just by looking at his body, he looked like a normal human. Not only his body, but his slender eyes were covered with eyelids. His broad forehead was very smooth … Everything looked normal. There was nothing disgusting about him. However, the mouthpart on his head remained the same. On such a normal, smooth male face, there was a black hole where the mouth and nose should have been. A large mosquito's mouthpart stretched out from the hole …
It was as if this was a deliberate design. Lin Sanjiu would rather look at Wang Sisi with this strange contrast.
"Why do you guys seem to be prepared …" The male duoluozhong's mouthpart spoke in a human voice. There was a hint of disgust in his eyes, "I just arrived, and you guys stopped the car? Who was the one who told you? "
"What … Could it be that there are other duoluozhong?"
"I don't like to talk nonsense with things that aren't human." The thought flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind, but she didn't think too much about it. She smiled and a white light flashed a few times in her palm. Then, a handful of cards appeared in her left hand.
This was a new method that she had developed after experimenting with her ability.
With a wave of her left hand, five thin cards immediately shot forward according to her will. They quickly approached the duoluozhong. Then, the five cards separated in the air and covered the duoluozhong's face.
That's right, Lin Sanjiu was controlling the speed and trajectory of the cards in the air. Even though this method was powerful, it was a pity that it had a lot of limitations. Currently, she could only control the cards for five seconds …
Before the duoluozhong could react to the situation, the five cards sped up and went straight for the duoluozhong's vitals. Just before they touched the duoluozhong's skin, the five cards turned into sharp blades at the same time.
Even though the duoluozhong dodged and counterattacked, one of the blades pierced deep into the duoluozhong's left eye. The duoluozhong's sharp screech rang through the night sky. Its mouthpart trembled in mid-air.
"Quick! Now! "Luther immediately rushed forward and swung his baton at the duoluozhong. The duoluozhong's jaw broke with a heart-wrenching sound.
Lin Sanjiu was almost certain that this duoluozhong would die here today. Just as the thought surfaced in his mind, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Luther's field of vision.
Then, there was a loud bang. It sounded like a gunshot. The flash of light turned into a line and shot toward Vole's chest like a meteor.
Vole's face turned pale. He waved his hand in despair. However, just as he summoned his cell phone, a cloud of blood burst out from his chest. His body and cell phone fell to the ground. As Vole breathed his last breath with his eyes wide open, the phone quickly turned into a white light and disappeared on the spot.
Everything happened too quickly. The three people who were fighting with the duoluozhong didn't have time to react. They stared blankly at Vole's corpse.
Seizing the opportunity, the duoluozhong jumped out of the encirclement and ran away.
Lin Sanjiu moved. Just as she was about to chase after the duoluozhong, an alarm went off in her head. Before she could react, her body rolled on the ground. Another gunshot rang out, and a smoking hole appeared at the spot where she had just been standing.
Lin Sanjiu understood everything now.
"We've been sniped! Quick, find a place to hide! "
Marcie and Luther hid behind the bus while Lin Sanjiu crouched behind the Citroën. All of them were gasping for air. Since they had lost their target, the gunshots stopped, and the night returned to its usual tranquility.
"Mr. … Mr. Vole is dead …" Marcie muttered, finding it hard to accept the fact.
"Was it the accomplice of that duoluozhong?" Lin Sanjiu felt that her heart was still pounding, as if it was about to burst out of her chest. "We're really unlucky to have encountered a duoluozhong that knows how to snipe!"
Luther looked at her with a complicated expression and shook his head, "It's not the duoluozhong … I saw it just now. In front of the building on the right, there were a lot of metallic dots floating. The 'bullet' that sniped the vole was one of those dots. "
"Isn't that an evolved ability?" The other two widened their eyes.
Without a doubt, only humans possessed evolved abilities.
"That's right, I think there's an evolved scum that partnered with a duoluozhong," Luther said bitterly.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't digest the information for a moment. "Partnered? What benefits does he get from partnered with a duoluozhong … "
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a thud above her head.
She looked up reflexively and saw that the duoluozhong that had escaped earlier was standing on the roof of the Citroën.
Its long proboscis was dangling beside Lin Sanjiu's shoulder.
"Hello, everyone! Who was the one who was fooled by me when I said it was over? "Wahahaha, I've always wanted to kill the main character once, okay? I haven't had anyone to read lately, so my motivation to write has decreased a lot. As usual, I'm hoping for a bookmark and recommendation … "
