Chapter 156: Chapter 28: The Drama Queen Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 28)

A tumultuous noise erupted from behind, as the last person to board the vehicle looked utterly terrified and trembled uncontrollably, curling into a ball.

The atmosphere in the vehicle was tense, and the sound behind seemed to be gradually fading. At this moment, the squad leader suddenly shouted at Jiang Chao.

"Open the window and see what’s going on outside."

Jiang Chao remained seated, showing no intention of listening to him.

The squad leader then instructed another person.

"You, take a look outside!"

"I, I don’t dare."

"I’ll blow your head off, dammit! Go quickly!"

The man, left with no choice, slowly opened the window beside him, and after casting a hesitant, terrified glance at everyone, carefully stuck his head out to look below.

What was below?

Only these people who narrowly escaped death knew.

Thus, their expressions grew even more frightened, wishing they could hide under their seats. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The fierce wind outside lashed their eardrums painfully. Just as the man was about to poke his whole head out to look down, Jiang Lai, sitting beside him, suddenly grabbed his collar and yanked him back. At the same time, her other hand flew up, and the car window swiftly rose. The next second, a dull thud sounded from outside the window, and everyone turned their heads sharply, eyes wide open and breathless.

What appeared outside the car window was a bloody suction cup, firmly adhered to the glass. From inside, one could see the suction cup was filled with dense, sharp fangs, clearly visible with every twitch of the soft flesh inside.

The teeth scraped against the window, producing a "creak" "creak" sound, like a death knell, chill-inducing to the bone.

"It’s... it’s right under the car now!"

This realization caused everyone’s heart on the vehicle to leap.

Jiang Chao asked them.

"What exactly is it?"

"It... it’s a bug, a really big bug... with hands, with a face, a human face! Its mouth is full of those... suction cups."

The person recalling this was on the verge of tears, utterly at a loss.

"What should we do now? It’s right below us, we’re doomed!"

"I just said let’s drive quickly, but you all wouldn’t listen, and now everyone is going to die together! Weren’t you two acting all tough just now? Well, now you two can go to the compartment!"

Jiang Chao sneered.

"You tell us to go, and we just go?"

There were seven people in the front cabin now, nine in total, with the other two likely dead at the chemical plant just now.

Now, five people were staring at them from the opposite side.

Even the last three who got on the vehicle moved slightly away in silence.

Jiang Chao knew that this squad leader had some background at the base, and giving him trouble wouldn’t make life any easier.

Now it was five against two, and in this cramped vehicle, if a fight broke out, everyone would suffer.

Jiang Chao calmed himself, looking at them.

"I’ll go to the back alone, let my sister stay."

The squad leader glanced at Jiang Lai, a young, fair-skinned, and pretty girl, instinctively licking his lips.

"Alright, she stays, you go."

Jiang Lai grabbed Jiang Chao’s sleeve.

"I’ll go with you, don’t say anything, no matter what I must be with you."

"The sibling bond is so strong, huh? Fine then, go together!!"

The partition between the driver’s cabin and the vehicle compartment was pulled down, and after Jiang Lai and Jiang Chao walked past, it was quickly pulled up again.

"With the two of them blocking behind, we should make it to the base, faster, drive faster!"

The compartment was silent, and Jiang Chao, clutching Jiang Lai’s hand, listened intently to the noises below.

Jiang Lai, however, sat down leisurely.

"It’s alright, let’s just sit for a while."

There was indeed noise below, and it was getting louder, as if several hands were forcefully clawing at the vehicle’s floor. The sounds were eerie, making Jiang Chao’s scalp tingle. He even moved closer to Jiang Lai involuntarily.

"I think jumping out of the car is our best option now."

"It’s too late for that."

Jiang Lai pointed to a spot in the middle of the floor, a large bulge had risen, and the iron sheet had already lifted. In the dim light, it seemed like a hand was desperately grabbing at the edge of the iron sheet.

Jiang Lai got up and walked over, standing beside the hand as it groped around. She then drew a knife, squatted down, and as the hand touched her shoe, without hesitation, she stabbed it squarely through.

"Ah—!!"

A sharp, raspy roar came from underneath the vehicle, and the hand attempted to retract fiercely, but was wedged by the knife stuck in between the iron sheet. Jiang Lai stomped down hard, twisted it, then swiftly retrieved the knife, slicing along the wrist’s edge.

With the furious roar rising, another human hand appeared in the compartment, and the vehicle shook violently for an instant.

Jiang Lai smiled, appearing quite pleased, with a demeanor that was creepily delightful even in the face of a frightening monster, making Jiang Chao worried for her mental state.

"Jiang Lai!"

"It’s alright, it wants to follow our vehicle to the base; it won’t damage the vehicle for a while."

After all, these people on the vehicle aren’t enough to fill its stomach. If it sneaks into the base, that would be a problem, with all those fat, wealthy people inside.

Jiang Chao was stunned upon hearing this.

"You think it has intelligence?"

"Of course, otherwise, why hasn’t it flipped the vehicle over now?"

"Are you saying it won’t harm us now?"

Jiang Lai shook her head, pointing to the driver’s cabin.

"No, it won’t harm them, but we’ll be unlucky."

"..."

Was his sister traumatized?

How could she say such things with such a nonchalant expression?

Why didn’t they just throw the people in front back here in the first place?

It’s not like they didn’t have the capability.

Jiang Chao alone was enough to handle those five people.

"Don’t worry, I’ll protect you."

"You used to be so timid, always hiding behind me no matter what happened."

Jiang Chao had thought Jiang Lai was strange more than once, even vaguely feeling like this wasn’t his sister.

Thinking this way made him feel guilty because Jiang Lai had always been protecting him.

"In this apocalypse, timid people don’t live long, I have to survive a bit longer."

As she spoke, Jiang Lai pried open the protruding piece of iron sheet in front of her. Suddenly, the wind poured in, and before Jiang Chao could react, a thick suction cup, as wide as his forearm, shot out impatiently, heading straight for Jiang Lai’s forehead!

Jiang Chao shouted when he saw this.

"Jiang Lai, dodge!"

Jiang Lai didn’t dodge, standing as if she hadn’t heard. Just as the suction cup was about to strike her face, she swiftly reached out, grabbed the top of the suction cup, then nimbly tied a knot with a proficient and adept motion, and severed it with a knife.
