Chapter 36 Bat Monster
Jiang Baiyue went up to the rooftop and checked. The commotion was still quite far from the city gate, so there shouldn't be any surprises.
No one knew what kind of monster it was, but the zombies throughout the city began to stir and roar loudly.
More and more zombies appeared along the way, and the group tried their best to avoid them as they traveled.
Hoo—!
Jiang Yuan caught a glimpse of a zombie jumping down from the roof of a nearby shop and nervously raised her harpoon to repel it.
Jiang Baiyue picked up the axe and put it down again: "Run faster."
A group of people at the intersection and in the houses ahead also ran out due to the sudden riot of the zombie horde.
"Terrible! Run! A zombie riot has broken out!"
"Over here, over here!"
"Let's hurry to the teleportation point and get out of here."
A rumbling sound came from the side, and everyone, including Jiang Baiyue and her group, turned to look.
"There's a car!!"
"Are these cars usable?"
"No way, I've tried it..."
"It looks like the base commander and his group. Tsk, forget it, I can't hitch a ride with them."
Jiang Baiyue looked into the car as she ran, thinking that she was lucky to have found a usable vehicle.
Sunflower ran beside Jiang Baiyue, exhaled, and said in a slightly sour tone, "We came in and were chased and killed by zombie monsters, while others can even find cars."
The modified off-road vehicle made a sharp turn, screeched, drifted, kicked up dust, and smashed into several fearless zombies before stylishly driving away from everyone's sight.
Before anyone could even utter another sarcastic remark, a massive shadow loomed over the area, followed by a deafening crash of a heavy object striking a building, and then a shower of rubble rained down from the sky.
"Monster—!"
A sharp cry pierced the sky, and everyone sped up and ran in unison.
"Damn it! They treated us like blood bags, and then they took advantage of us..."
"Damn it! If I get back alive today, I'm moving!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Let's hide over here!"
Jiang Baiyue turned and ran to the other side of the street: "Run this way!"
The bat monster was very large, with big wings, so it couldn't fly slowly; they clearly couldn't outrun it.
The others were so frightened that they lost their composure. Upon hearing a loud shout, they ran after the others without thinking.
Jiang Baiyue was exhausted. What was the difference between everyone running to the same place and what had just happened?
A tremendous panic gripped Jiang Yuan's mind; it was an enormous, bat-like monster whose enormous wings were bound to catch up with her sooner or later.
She didn't know if the monster used ultrasound to find its prey, and she didn't dare to gamble; she still needed to live to find her family.
Jiang Yuan quickly approached the lying-down salted fish and pleaded, "I...I'll go with you, please! I'll give you everything I have."
Jiang Baiyue turned to Sunflower and asked, "Are you sure you can handle this? Should I have the mercenaries take Jiang Yuan and Tiantian to Xia?"
"Thank you, sister! We'll pay you when we get back!"
The mercenaries' physical strength had been proven along the way; they were very strong and ran faster than the group of men.
Jiang Baiyue only wanted this one way, otherwise, perhaps only the sunflower and she could escape.
Sunflowers are loyal and might not abandon Tiantian Xiangxia, and Jiang Baiyue can't let herself lose out completely if she teams up with them to enter the dungeon... as long as there's even the slightest chance.
"Ah... um..."
The bat-like monster flapped its wings and flew down, its claws piercing through a person, who screamed in agony.
"Help me!"
Someone turned around and saw that the man had been wrapped in a bat's wing and placed underneath it. The bat lowered its head and bit the man in two with a snap, splattering blood everywhere. Terrified, the man, who already had no strength left, desperately squeezed out all his energy and ran as fast as he could.
The mercenaries carried one person on their backs and ran quickly to Jiang Baiyue and Sunflower.
While the bats were eating their prey, they hurried away. However, a swarm of smaller bats followed behind. The larger bats ate the heads and then threw the bodies into the swarm of smaller bats behind them.
The ear-piercing squeaking sound echoed throughout the space, making one's heart involuntarily clench.
Some people cried out in despair, "Waaah! I curse them to die a horrible death! Having a car like that just attracted the monster, waaah..."
"I...I can't run anymore. I haven't eaten enough. I really...I really have no strength left..."
"Help! I don't want to die!"
"Just hang in there, we're almost at the teleportation point!"
"Jiang Yuan, give me the gun!"
A stench swept over them, and even without turning around, she could feel the bat monster closing in.
Jiang Yuan was under immense pressure. Even classmates and friends she had known for over 10 years could abandon her. In this moment of crisis, she dared not relax for a moment, even though she was being carried on the back of a mercenary.
She was also keeping a close eye on Jiang Baiyue and Sunflower's movements. When she heard Jiang Baiyue's shout, she immediately took out her pistol and handed it over.
"Bullets! Bullets!"
Both of them were a little nervous, and a few bullets accidentally fell out, but it was too late.
Jiang Baiyue and Sunflower turned around and attacked at the same time.
The bat stomped down with one claw, and the two dodged to the sides. Jiang Baiyue fired a shot at the bat's wings.
"Number 1 and Number 2, fire!"
Mercenaries No. 1 and No. 2 immediately carried out the order without hesitation, firing their rifles at the bat.
Bang bang bang!
Without the mercenary's support, Jiang Yuan instinctively tightened her arms, but then realized she was obstructing the mercenary, so she quickly moved away from her back and followed closely behind.
Tian Tian took out a cannon barrel from his backpack, stuffed the bomb inside, and slung the barrel over his shoulder.
This was something she and Sunflower had found by chance. In order to take the cannon and the bomb, they also left two other supplies behind.
Everything is for survival.
Tian Tian Xiang Xia must pay close attention to the situation ahead; the bombs must not be used in a way that results in friendly fire.
At this moment, Jiang Baiyue and Sunflower were being blown away by the bat. Tiantian shouted to Xia to get out of the way and pulled the trigger on the bat monster's body!
With a loud bang, Tian Tian yelled at Xia, who was pushed back a meter or two by the recoil and fell to the ground.
Jiang Yuan turned around and saw a small bat about to attack Tian Tian Xiang Xia from behind. She hardened her heart, took out a harpoon, ran over, and slashed the bat away.
Squeak squeak squeak!
Tian Tian stared at Xia with wide eyes, exclaiming in terror, "Get out of the way!"
The bat lost a significant amount of health after being hit by the cannonball. After letting out a painful roar, it immediately set its sights on Tian Tian Xiang Xia, who had dealt it a heavy blow.
"Everyone! Let's fight!"
A man with a leg injury was running slowly. Hearing the explosion and noticing what was happening behind him, he felt heavy-hearted and thought that he might as well fight. He shouted that he wanted to gather more people together.
No one responded, but a few people showed their attitude through their actions.
Those with guns took them out, and those with arrows immediately found a suitable spot to aim and fire.
Before the bat monsters could get close to Tian Tian Xiang Xia while they were surrounded, Sunflower used her talent to enhance her damage and charged forward with her iron sword to stab the bat's wings.
Jiang Baiyue followed and launched a fireball to attract the bats' attention.
【Dark Bat (Lv1: 156/200)】
This is only a level 1 bat, but because of its huge size, fast speed, and the fact that it is accompanied by a group of smaller bats.
At first, everyone was so scared that they only thought about running away. But now that everyone is united, the monster's health is dropping very quickly.
