"Wait, something's wrong, stop shooting first!"
Shi Man keenly sensed that something was wrong. The RV's automatic defense mode was not activated, which meant that the "big guy" under the ground that had been chasing them did not attack.
But why did it keep chasing their car?
"Feifei! Shrink the drone and take a look under the car."
Zhou Feifei did as she was told immediately, and soon the holographic image was transmitted back, showing that the bottom of the RV was densely packed with twisted and wriggling worms. Those worms were clearly earthworms, but their bodies were much larger than normal earthworms, as thick as an adult's thumb.
This picture makes people with trypophobia suffer.
"Annie, tell Lao Yang to speed up a bit and put some distance between us and that thing underground!"
Sun Annie immediately went to the driving area. The RV moved in various coquettish positions on the meadow. The guy underground kept chasing after it. After the distance was about five meters, Shi Man activated the RV's defense and high voltage electricity covered the outside of the car body.
A burning smell immediately emanated from the chassis of the vehicle, the smell of burnt meat mixed with the earthy smell, and there was a sound of "click, click, click"—
It was as if it was raining under the chassis of the vehicle, and the mutated earthworms that were scorched by electricity fell to the ground, forming a dense pile of insects.
It was also at this moment that Shi Man and the others finally saw the appearance of the "big guy" underground.
The first to break out of the soil were two large claws. The claws were like shovels, with five toes. The third and fourth toes were specialized into sickle-shaped keratin claws. With a scratch of the two claws, they directly dug up the soil.
The creature has a short conical snout on its head, with the exposed skin at the front appearing pink. Its eyes and ears are almost invisible, covered with thick dark hair. It looks like a fur ball with two huge palms.
"It's a mole!"
Everyone recognized the identity of this thing.
Instead of chasing their car, the mole, the size of a small truck, dove into the pile of earthworms and began to eat like crazy.
Yang Benxin also realized the situation and stopped his coquettish movements, but the RV did not stop. He took the time to distance himself from the mole.
"No wonder that mole kept chasing us. It turns out there are earthworms crawling under our car." Meng Xiaodao was still terrified. "It's really strange. In the past, when alien creatures approached, didn't the RV always activate automatic defenses? Why didn't it react this time?"
"Maybe it's because neither the earthworms nor the moles have any subjective hostility." Shi Man pursed her lips. The former used the RV as a nest, and the latter's target was the earthworms. Neither of them came with a 'destructive' purpose.
"I suspect this mole's defenses have improved," Tyrannosaurus said suddenly. "Normally, a pistol bullet can penetrate 0.3 to 0.6 meters in forest meadow soil. Earlier, we fired at the mole's raised mound, and it's already loosened that part of the soil. The physical resistance has been reduced to almost negligible, yet it shows no signs of injury or bleeding."
This is obviously not good news.
Now everyone in the car is equipped with unlimited-round pistols produced in Pure Land. At the moment, encountering just a mutated mole that is not hostile to them is already such a headache. Who knows how many dangers they will encounter on the rest of the journey. How will they deal with it then?
Now the physical fitness of everyone in the car has been maximized, but only Shi Man and Qin Xiao have broken through the critical value of evolution.
