Jiang Li took out the car, shouted, and fired a shot at the approaching bat. Upon hearing this, the others quickly opened the car doors and got in.
Gu Jin sat in the driver's seat, Jiang Li sat in the passenger seat, and the others sat in the back. Fortunately, Jiang Li's Hummer was a five-seater, and the back space was quite large, so it wasn't too crowded for all of them to sit in the car.
The car doors were tightly shut, yet the bats continued to crash against them, seemingly oblivious to the pain. The sound of them hitting the doors felt like a blow to everyone's heart.
Gu Jin gripped the steering wheel and floored the accelerator, speeding along the base's roads. The swarm of bats still relentlessly pursued them, seemingly determined not to give up until they were devoured.
However, due to the large number of bats, Gu Jin could barely see the road ahead while driving. He was now relying solely on his familiarity with the base, and if this continued, he would soon be killed in a car accident.
"Jiang Li, you drive. Try to drive steadily. Fang Qingxun and I will go to the roof to deal with these bats."
Gu Jin said to Jiang Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Okay, take precautions and try not to get bitten."
Jiang Li turned to look at Gu Jin, and without any pretense, readily agreed, but she still had her worries.
"Don't worry, I will."
Gu Jin looked at Jiang Li with a determined gaze.
After Jiang Li gripped the steering wheel, Gu Jin went from the driver's seat to the back seat, and Jiang Li immediately climbed over from the passenger seat.
Gu Jin and Jiang Li worked together seamlessly and quickly, gripping the steering wheel tightly and pressing the accelerator. The car only wobbled a few times before returning to normal.
Jiang Li adjusted the car's speed and tried to keep the car steady. After the car was stable, Gu Jin, Fang Qingxun, Shi Lin, and Shi Yuan, while providing cover, climbed onto the roof through the car windows.
Fu Xiaxia also came to the passenger seat and opened a crack in the window, just big enough for the gun barrel to stick out, to deal with the bats next to the car.
There were already enough room for the four of them on the roof; if Fu Xiaxia went up there, there would be no room for her to stand.
Jiang Li and the others were in the car and could hear gunshots coming from the roof and the squeaking of bats being hit.
Jiang left the car and drove towards the outside of the base. On the roadside, he encountered many other people who were all avoiding the bats.
The swarm of bats approached instantly. When they saw so many bats, each more than twice their usual size, flying towards them with their sharp, menacing teeth, screams finally erupted from the crowd.
"ah!"
Bats surrounded a middle-aged woman.
The woman closed her eyes in panic, afraid to look around, which also made it difficult for her to see the road. She screamed and waved her arms to scare away the bats.
The bats' sharp teeth kept biting at her arm, leaving bloody holes. Moments later, the woman collapsed to the ground. Bats swarmed over her, and soon her body was covered with layers of bats until only a skeleton remained.
Such bloody and tragic scenes continue to unfold, constantly refreshing the public's understanding. Perhaps the world has really changed. Bats, which usually seem harmless, can be so ferocious. They fly in the air like radar, ready to swoop down and hunt for food at any time.
Unfortunately, humans, who were once at the top of the food chain, have become prey for the bat swarms in this life-or-death struggle.
As they drove on, more and more bats gathered. Suddenly, Jiang Li remembered that insects were afraid of fire, and animals seemed to be afraid of fire as well. So he took out a spray gun from his spatial storage and handed it to Fu Xiaxia.
"Xiaxia, here, try this on."
"good."
Fu Xiaxia put the pistol away, then took the spray gun Jiang Li gave her, stretched it out of the window, turned on the spray gun, and sure enough, the bats were very scared and stayed away from the spray gun.
Seeing that the results were very good, Fu Xiaxia happily told Jiang Li.
"Jiang Li, it really works."
"It's good that it's useful. Give these to Gu Jin and the others as well."
Jiang Li took out some more spray guns from his spatial storage and handed them to Fu Xiaxia.
"good."
Fu Xiaxia took the spray gun, stretched it out of the window, and handed it to Gu Jin and the others. After seeing that Fu Xiaxia could use fire, Gu Jin knew that Jiang Li would give it to them, so as soon as he heard the noise, he bent down and took the spray gun.
The four men on the roof of the car, each holding a pistol in one hand and a spray gun in the other, were wreaking havoc. The bats had no chance at all. When the people on the roadside saw that the fire was working, they quickly lit fires to fight the bats as well.
After Gu Jin and the others used fire, the bats around them dared not approach, and Jiang Li's speed also increased.
Standing on the roof of the vehicle, the group spotted Captain Wang from a distance. He and his team had set up dozens of high-powered spotlights in the open space in front of the office center to attract the bats' attention and reduce the pressure on the others in the base.
People from the base stood in front of the spotlight, all holding guns and fighting off the bats. Behind the spotlight, inside the service center, many civilians were already inside, and there were also people outside, all within the protection range of the team.
Although Captain Wang attracted many bats, they also had fighting power. In this situation, it would be safer for people without the ability to protect themselves to stay here.
Gu Jin lay on the car roof, then leaned down and knocked on Jiang Li's side window, calling out to Jiang Li inside.
"Go to the service center, to Captain Wang's office."
Jiang Li glanced at the service center not far away, turned around and did as Gu Jing had said. Jiang Li knew Gu Jin's thoughts. Right now, they really didn't know the specific situation outside the base. It was all just speculation before.
It's clearly safer for Captain Wang to go here than to go outside the base.
As soon as Jiang Li's car appeared, Captain Wang spotted it. Their car was incredibly eye-catching, with four people on the roof breathing fire, followed by a large swarm of bats, coming in a formidable manner. Their fighting power was truly impressive.
Most people would have been killed long ago if they encountered such a group of bats, but Captain Wang felt that they were handling it with ease.
Jiang Li really wanted to throw a grenade, but there were too many people in the base, and throwing it might hurt others. If they were outside, Jiang Li would have thrown it long ago.
Gu Jin and her group attracted a large number of bats, greatly reducing the pressure on others along the way.
After Jiang Li drove the car into Captain Wang's protected area, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Jin and the others got out of the car and immediately joined Captain Wang and the others in fighting the bats, since they were the ones who had attracted many of them.
Jiang Li and his group's arrival did put more pressure on Captain Wang and his team, but their original purpose was to attract the bats, and Jiang Li and his group simply enhanced the effect.
Captain Wang and his men had been using guns to deal with the bats, but seeing that Gu Jin and his group were also using fire effectively, they immediately ordered their men to prepare torches. They also told the people hiding behind them that they could find a way to start a fire themselves, as the bats were afraid of fire.
