Time slowly passed. There was a fork in the road ahead. If they went straight, they would reach another city, a city with a population of nearly a million. However, they couldn't get through there. The road ahead was basically stagnant. There were many cars coming from that city. They were also looking for a safe place.
An Yan knew that they had taken the wrong path. The further east they went, the closer they were to the sea. Not only were they attacked by the flood, but there were also insectoid monsters. However, there were always some people who didn't know where to go. As long as someone went to a place, there would be many people following them. This formed the fact that there was a traffic jam ahead. An Yan and the others wanted to get off the road, but the front was blocked. They could only move at a speed that was not much faster than ants.
They were trapped on the road.
The sun was about to set, and the people who had been exposed to the sun for a long time could finally catch their breath. Many people had skin on their faces. The people in the city had never suffered so much. They felt like fish that were about to dry. Their clothes were stuck to their bodies, and their faces were covered with traces of sweat that had washed over the sand. Many people couldn't take it anymore and fainted on the road. Those in the middle of the road were carried to the side of the road. Those who were lucky might be able to survive, but those who were unlucky would just wait for death. If it was a beautiful girl, it would be different. There would always be people who wanted to do something for the beautiful girl, and they would usually be able to get treatment.
As time passed, anxiety spread among the crowd, and conflicts gradually increased. Just a trivial matter could lead to a fight. Most people were indifferent to those fights. They were sad and afraid. Those fights happened to be a rare entertainment, allowing their tormented hearts to ease a little. When one was tired or one side was beaten down, the battle would end. There was no reward for winning the battle, but it could make the surrounding people maintain a sense of respect for him. Many small circles were formed just like that.
The sky was getting dark and the temperature had dropped. People were feeling much more comfortable. Many people put down their luggage by the roadside and sat there to rest. They didn't know when they would be able to cross the road, so people stopped whether they were riding the streetcar or walking. Only the cars and a small number of people were still moving slowly. Some cars had even turned off their engines and were being pushed by people to save fuel.
Night fell, and the headlights on the road formed a long line, looking very spectacular. Countless people were making a ruckus. They were not worried about monsters attacking them at this time. It was different from the city. In the city, they were separated into rooms and were independent of each other. Now, they were close to each other and could be considered as a whole. There were so many people here, and the more people there were, the bolder they were. Besides, they all felt like they were in the middle of a long line, so what was there to be afraid of?
An Yan ate the canned meat in the car and talked to Lei Changhe. He knew that Lei Changhe was originally a construction engineer. The door of their house was installed with the latest anti-theft door. It was sturdy and durable, so that it was not broken in by monsters.
" You don't know, Brother An. I saw a monster eating a person in the stairwell with my own eyes. The monster was right behind the security door. If it wasn't for someone who was scared out of his wits and ran out to lure the monster away, who knows what would have happened?”Lei Changhe looked at his wife and son who were not far away and said to An Yan. He did not sleep in the car. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the monster eating people.
"I've seen it too. Monsters have no humanity. They're no longer human.”
An Yan said slowly. He had been holding a paper cutter in his hand. He did not want to lose his weapon again.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out among the crowd in the distance. Screams and screams could be heard. They were a little far away, and the light of the headlights made them unable to see anything. Everyone craned their necks to see what was going on. Some of them climbed onto the roof of the car.
"Monsters, man-eating monsters are here! Run!"
Many people shouted, making it clear to the people here. Their expressions changed. Didn't they not see any monsters during the day? Why did the monsters chase after them at night? The place was suddenly filled with screams. Many people rushed forward without caring about anything. The same was true for the cars. They honked desperately to get the people and cars in front of them to make way, but this place was already so crowded that there were no pins. How could they make way? Some of the drivers who were dominated by fear stepped on the accelerator in order to survive. They immediately wailed until they bumped into the car in front of them. At this moment, the angry crowd outside pulled the driver out and beat him up. For a moment, they forgot about the threat of the monster behind them. In short, it was a complete mess.
The guards that Zhang Ziqiang had formed automatically disintegrated. Those with relatives went to protect their relatives, and those without relatives also wanted to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
The road ahead was blocked, and there were monsters wreaking havoc behind them. A large number of people began to run into the ditches on both sides of the road. They would rather go to the wilderness than be eaten by monsters here.
An Yan saw monsters. There were many monsters. Those green-skinned monsters quickly advanced forward. The people behind them were pushed down by the monsters one after another. Then, they screamed miserably. Some people used all kinds of weapons to fight the monsters. However, there were too many monsters, and there were very few who resisted. Only when they were forced to a dead end would they have no choice but to fight with their lives on the line. If they could escape, they would not resist.
Before the monsters arrived, An Yan would follow the fleeing crowd into the dark wilderness. He would not foolishly fight those monsters. It would be meaningless. In the darkness, he couldn't see what was in front of him clearly. He could only run with the swaying shadows in front of him. From time to time, someone would fall to the ground. The fields were planted with crops. He had noticed during the day that most of them were corn. Now that the corn was only knee-high, they were not disturbed when they ran in the corn field. Only when they occasionally fell down did they feel some pain on their faces and bodies where they were scratched by the corn leaves.
" Please wait for me, wait for me, ah!" A little girl's voice came from behind him. It sounded a little childish and seemed to be quite young.
An Yan started a little late because he was observing the insectoids behind him, but his speed was fast. He had already run to the middle and front of the group. The girl's voice could still be heard clearly in the group of people's panting. An Yan hesitated whether he should help the girl.
"Oh my god, look at the green ghost eyes behind us. Those evil ghosts are catching up!”A shrill voice shouted, and the crowd ran even faster.
There were indeed insectoids behind them, and there were five of them. They had left the main group and were chasing after them.
"Little girl, don't be afraid. I'll block them. Run!”
An Yan suddenly heard a familiar voice. Who else could it be but Zhang Ziqiang? It turned out that he was also in this escaping team. Without hesitation, An Yan ran to the back. At this moment, he saw a hazy flame. The flame was swaying in the breeze.
"Officer Zhang, I'm An Yan. Let's cover the rear together!”An Yan's pride surged. He was driven by Zhang Ziqiang's bravery. He felt his blood surging at this moment and really wanted to roar.
"An Yan? You're here too?" Zhang Ziqiang's lighter was blown out by the wind, but it was enough for An Yan to determine his location.
"Hurry up and leave. Why are you meddling? I'm enough here!"
The green light behind him was getting closer and closer, but An Yan had no intention of leaving." Officer Zhang, this isn't right. Are you looking down on us? I don't care about a few monsters.”
Zhang Ziqiang's expression could not be seen in the darkness, only his deep voice could be heard." An Yan, I know what you mean. However, you are still young. You have to live, unlike me. Everything I have was destroyed by the monster. My parents, wife, and children all died in the hands of the monster. Do you know how I feel? There's no point in me living anymore. In the end, I'll kill as many as I can. I'll kill two and earn one.”
An Yan sighed. It seemed like Zhang Ziqiang was determined to die. He had nothing to say about this.
"I'm only here because I'm afraid that you won't be able to stop them. When the time comes, those insectoids will still chase after us. Why don't we take this opportunity to kill them all?”
Hearing An Yan's words, Zhang Ziqiang did not say anything else. It was too late to leave now. The stench of the monster had already arrived.
An Yan gripped the paper cutter in his hand tightly. It was his first time facing so many monsters. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. The three monsters pounced at An Yan. The green light that was jumping was the monster's eyes. One could only guess the monster's location from its eyes. In the darkness, it was a lighthouse.
" Smash!" An Yan launched an attack, slashing at the nearest monster. He couldn't see the exact location of the monster, so he could only guess the approximate location of the neck based on the insectoid's eyes.
" Plop!" The monster felt as if a knife had pierced through its flesh. It was suddenly repelled by the force of the knife.
An Yan did not have time to check the results of the battle. He stepped sideways to avoid the two green dots. The unique stench of the Insectoid rushed past An Yan's nose and lifted the hair on his forehead. The third Insect Man rushed over. An Yan could even smell the stench. At this moment, he released his Slam skill again. This time, the insect man was not repelled. The stinky blood splattered on An Yan's face, but An Yan did not have time to wipe it off. The insectoids that had dodged behind him had already returned. Their sharp claws clawed at the back of his head, and the first insectoid that had been repelled also rushed over.
An Yan didn't see all of this. He only saw the first insectoid person rushing over. If he continued to attack this insectoid person in front of him and waited for the other insectoid person to come back, he didn't have three heads and six arms. Wouldn't he be surrounded? Now that he had a weapon, his attack power was pretty good, but his defense was not good. If he was scratched by a monster a few times, he might not be able to withstand it. This was because he had missed the insectoid behind him. The insectoid behind him was actually the biggest threat.
In the midst of the crisis, An Yan suddenly remembered the Roar skill. He didn't want to die here. His anger exploded."Roar", a sound wave spread out, and all the insectoids within a 25-meter radius of An Yan were affected.
When he released the skill, An Yan was naturally targeted. His target was those insectoids, so Zhang Ziqiang, who was more than ten meters away, did not feel anything. He was only shocked by An Yan's sudden roar and thought that An Yan was seriously injured. On the other hand, the insectoids were attacking in a hurry, but they suddenly felt weak in their limbs. The attack that they had originally calculated had deviated.
The two insectoids who surrounded Zhang Ziqiang had already scratched several wounds on Zhang Ziqiang's body. Each wound was more than ten centimeters long. Blood had already dyed his police uniform red. If it was not for his bravery, he would have fallen long ago. However, Zhang Ziqiang had also achieved some results. One of the insectoid's claws was cut off by the military knife, and the other insectoid was also cut twice.
