“Thud!”
As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, a dull thud suddenly sounded nearby.
“Be careful!” Yuwen Xuan and the others imdiately drew their weapons.
Ye Kai, who was driving, suddenly pointed at the rearview mirror and said, “Look!”
Ling Mo looked in the direction of the sound and happened to catch a glimpse of a figure retreating into the darkness.
He seed a bit panicked and quickly disappeared from sight.
“Let’s go check it out! You all stay in the car and keep watch!”
Ling Mo quickly opened the car door and exchanged a glance with Mu Chen beside him.
The two of them jumped out of the car one after the other, and then Mu Chen swiftly drew his knife.
“Captain, what do you think is going on?” Mu Chen asked as he cautiously observed the surroundings.
“Whatever it is… we just entered the town and already ran into sothing like this. It ans the other side was prepared and waiting for us,” Ling Mo said.
“The other side?” Mu Chen pressed.
“Yeah, it’s either Stella, Falcon, or Niepan…” Ling Mo replied.
“Doesn’t sound like a big list of suspects… By the way, who’s Stella?” Mu Chen asked.
Seeing Ling Mo roll his eyes, Mu Chen imdiately lowered his voice and said, “I’ll check the back.”
“Be careful.” Ling Mo looked ahead, especially to the front side. That figure had disappeared from there just now.
While they were getting out of the car, the buildings that had been within their line of sight had also completely vanished, as if the darkness was spreading to Devour everything.
Very quickly, the entire area was left with only them, the car, and the street ahead with extrely limited visibility…
Judging from the condition of the street, it didn’t seem much different from when they had left.
A ss, garbage everywhere. Occasionally, there were bloodstains and all kinds of smashed debris…
Ling Mo extended a few Tentacles, but when these Tentacles entered the darkness, he couldn’t Sense anything at all…
“Strange…” Ling Mo withdrew his Tentacles and frowned.
Since he couldn’t Sense anything from a distance, he could only go over himself…
At the sa ti, Mu Chen was sticking close to the car, moving quietly toward the rear. He gripped his knife tightly in one hand, while the other fumbled for his Tactical Flashlight.
Click!
A beam of light shot out imdiately.
“This is a bit creepy…” Mu Chen muttered as he shone the flashlight around. But wherever the light reached, there was still only darkness…
“If the light can’t penetrate… that shouldn’t be possible… Anyway, I hope nothing even weirder happens…” As Mu Chen spoke, the flashlight beam turned forward. Imdiately, his expression grew even stranger. “Uh-oh… turns out there really is sothing weirder…”
At this mont, Ling Mo had also walked out of the main area illuminated by the headlights. Here, he found a shallow round pit on the ground.
“A bullet hole?” Ling Mo wiped the pit with his hand, then rubbed off the debris on his fingers. “Pretty fresh.”
That “thud” just now must have been related to this… But why didn’t the other side attack the car directly, and instead made such a noise and commotion?
“Lure the tiger away from the mountain?” Ling Mo imdiately thought of this possibility.
But if that’s really what they were thinking, then they’re making a huge mistake…
The real tigers in this group are sharpening their claws inside the car…
“Will they be alright?” In the car, Gu Shuangshuang asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, they know what they’re doing… But, this place really does feel strange everywhere… We’d better not act rashly. Let’s wait for them to co back,” Xia Na said, staring at Ling Mo’s back.
“Oh…” Gu Shuangshuang nodded, and judging by her expression, she was clearly not the only one in the car who was nervous.
Except for a few Female Zombies…
Ling Mo didn’t rush to turn on his flashlight, but instead kept probing with his Tentacles as he slowly approached the darkness.
He released a large number of Tentacles, almost covering every direction ahead.
“It just seems simply very dark… Other than that, I can’t Sense anything…” Ling Mo waved his hand in front of his eyes.
Aside from himself, everything around seed to truly disappear once swallowed by the darkness. Not only was there nothing to Sense, but he couldn’t even touch anything. For example, the flowerbed that should have been by the roadside, the building less than twenty ters away…
This feeling made Ling Mo uneasy… Logically, this wasn’t so black fog, nor did it have any special sll… As for ntal influence, he couldn’t Sense any for now…
Even if this “darkness” was sothing else, Ling Mo thought to himself, he couldn’t figure it out for now…
And besides being very dark, there didn’t seem to be anything else worth discovering around here. That figure had long since disappeared…
“Wait…”
After walking a few more steps, Ling Mo vaguely heard a sound from ahead.
“What is that noise? Seems like… Hm? No, can’t quite make it out…”
Ling Mo stopped, tilted his head to listen for a while, then fixed his gaze in a certain direction.
Actually, in such darkness, it was hard for him to tell which way originally led where…
“Could it be that figure from before?”
But thinking carefully, that figure’s build seed vaguely familiar…
“Who could it be…”
Ling Mo frowned as he thought, tensing his nerves and carefully walking over…
“Bzzzz…”
The sound gradually beca clearer, but he still couldn’t tell where it was coming from.
Ling Mo glanced back. After entering this darkness, it was as if even he had been Devoured; the car was completely out of sight. He hesitated for a mont, but still didn’t stop moving forward.
“Let’s check it out… Otherwise, if I just go back, I’d only be waiting to die…”
After walking a bit further, Ling Mo finally began to hear more clearly… And the feeling of moving in the darkness was obviously quite unpleasant… But just as he was making out the sound, a faint light appeared ahead…
“There’s light!” Ling Mo’s heart leapt.
For light to suddenly appear in a place like this, it must be man-made.
At that mont, Ling Mo suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
“It’s him!”
It was the sa figure Ling Mo had seen before, hiding in the darkness and cautiously approaching the source of the light.
“What does he want? Lure over?”
Ling Mo thought for a mont, then slowly followed.
But as the light got closer, the figure’s movents also sped up. To avoid losing him, Ling Mo quickened his pace as well.
“Might as well try to catch him alive…”
Ling Mo made up his mind, shot a Tentacle forward, and then dashed after him.
But just as he was about to collide with the figure, the figure suddenly vanished.
As if he had lted into the darkness…
“Thud!” His Tentacle struck nothing.
“What the hell?”
Ling Mo stood dumbfounded where the figure had been, looking around in shock…
If his eyes weren’t playing tricks on him, then that person had really vanished.
But how was that possible?!
“What on earth is…”
Ling Mo looked ahead in confusion. At this point, he was already very close to the light source…
After hesitating for a mont, Ling Mo walked over quietly… And as he stepped out of the darkness, the scene before him made him freeze.
That was… a car that had just stopped…
And the car door was being opened…
“Let’s go check it out! You all stay in the car and keep watch!”
A familiar voice ca from inside the car.
Ling Mo finally snapped out of his daze…
“What the hell!” He quickly retreated back into the darkness…
Seeing another “Ling Mo” walking toward him, Ling Mo hurriedly retraced his steps, but just as he exited the darkness, he suddenly Sensed a faint movent…
“Thud!”
As Ling Mo dodged, he saw a shallow pit appear on the ground…
“Damn…” Ling Mo muttered…
