Chapter 171 Escape from the Tunnel
"Crash into it! We have to get out of here as soon as possible!"
Not only Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan, but Baili Zhuo in front also noticed the growing number of mutant rats.
He looked at the dense swarms of rats around him, gritted his teeth, and quickly gave the driving order to the team member.
The sound of breaking windows and shrill screams could be heard from behind them from time to time. Their car windows had been broken, and many mutant rats had climbed onto the roof, trying to bite through it.
If they continue like this, they will definitely be exhausted to death here, so they might as well give it a try.
Upon hearing this, the driver immediately stepped on the accelerator, trying to break out of the encirclement.
But the engine hummed for a long time and the car only moved forward a few dozen meters with difficulty.
"No, Captain, there are too many rats ahead! There are also some abandoned vehicles blocking the way, so we can't hit them at all!"
"ah--"
A team member screamed from the back seat, and Baili Zhuo immediately turned around. A swarm of mutant rats was swarming against the broken rear window, trying to squeeze in. Their heads were pressed against each other, their red eyes ferocious and anxious. One team member was bitten on the hand by a mutant rat, and a finger was broken on the spot.
Baili Zhuo's face darkened. "Hold on! Don't panic, everyone. You can go forward in groups. Those who are injured should retreat and bandage themselves!"
After comforting his teammates, Baili Zhuo's mind was racing, trying to find a way to solve the current dilemma. But the next second, he heard a burst of gunfire getting closer and closer to them, and he could even smell the faint smell of barbecue.
Baili Zhuo turned around in surprise. It was actually that Level 2 team's pendulum?!
At this time, Yu Qingchuan in the RV's cab had already stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and was madly rushing forward to hit the densely packed rats.
Jiang Zhan first used his mental power to wrap up the entire car, preventing the mutant rats from climbing onto the car, and then quietly used the wind blade in conjunction with the flames of the king bomb to try to open a path in front of the car.
The impact performance of the Romantes Shandka RV is better than that of ordinary vehicles. Now with the help of Jiang Zhan and Wang Zha, although the movement is not very smooth, it is not too difficult.
"We'll go ahead and clear the way! Keep the distance between you and me and make sure you keep up!"
Qiao Yu leaned against the window, firing and shouting loudly at everyone in the convoy.
The noise of gunfire, cries for help, and the squeals of rats all mixed together, creating a cacophony of noise. Baili Zhuo could only see Qiao Yu sticking her head out toward them, her mouth opening and closing, making it impossible to make out what she was saying.
But after seeing them overtake from the left and quickly move in front of their car, he guessed what they were planning to do and immediately instructed the driver: "They're going to clear the way for us! You must follow them closely and don't get separated by the rat swarm!"
"good."
Qiao Yu, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen quickly cleared out the rats blocking the way of the Zhuoguang team's car. Seeing this, the Zhuoguang driver pressed the horn for a long time, signaling the cars behind to follow, while stepping on the accelerator and sticking closely behind Qiao Yu and the others' car.
The screams in the tunnel continued, but everyone gritted their teeth and followed.
They all knew very well that if they were cut off by the mutant rats, they might never be able to get out again.
The surrounding rats piled higher and higher, squeezing the convoy almost from all sides.
Although Qiao Yu had Jiang Zhan's mental power blocking the car and the car body was not damaged, it was indeed not easy to move forward.
After all, although the flames of the king bomb are effective against the mutant rats, their speed is really slow when burning those abandoned vehicles.
Qiao Yu glanced out the rear window and, after confirming that the view of the convoy behind him had been completely blocked by them, raised his hand towards the abandoned vehicles.
Even in the flames, the extremely cold ice quickly covered the metal frame.
A group of mutant rats nearby sensed the change in temperature and were frozen to death before they could escape.
Qiao Yu turned off the engine and lowered the temperature again and again. The strong cold air made Hua Yue on the roof shiver and looked up in surprise.
"Why is it...frozen?" Huayue murmured in a low voice.
Suddenly, with a "pop" sound, Hua Yue looked up and watched the old vehicles and mutant rats blocking the convoy's way shatter into pieces and then collapse.
Hua Yue's pupils suddenly shrank, and she stared blankly at everything in front of her. Suddenly, five big words appeared in her mind - "Natural Abnormal".
Definitely... Definitely a natural alien.
And...I'm afraid it's not just the natural system.
Huayue lowered her head with a complicated expression, staring blankly at the group of mutant rats beside the car.
She felt something was wrong from the beginning, but because she was too nervous, she didn't pay any attention. The shock at this moment made her calm down, and she finally found the reason for that feeling of incongruity.
——Their cars are so neat.
The other teams' cars were all crawling with mutant rats, their blood and corpses stained to varying degrees, but their RV was so neat and tidy it stood out from the crowd, without even a scratch. It was as if the clamoring swarm of mutant rats was a complete illusion.
Huayue didn't know what kind of ability this was, but the scene before her was definitely beyond her understanding.
The fire-type mutant black wolf, the ice-type alien, and the protective wall of unknown power...
All this made Huayue feel for the first time in the apocalypse someone far more powerful than herself.
Hua Yue silently warned herself: Don't take it seriously, just pretend you didn't see it. From now on... no matter what, you must never become an enemy of this team.
After the abandoned vehicles blocking the road were cleared, the speed of travel became much faster.
But the mutant rats attacked quickly.
The tunnel was nearly a thousand meters long. I finally saw the light at the entrance, but the roofs of several cars had been gnawed through by rats.
"Hurry! Find a way to block the hole! Otherwise it will get bigger and bigger!"
Ding Baian noticed the damage to the roof of the car, and while following the car in front closely, he turned his head to instruct the team members in the back seat.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zishan pulled up the back seat pillow and used it to block the hole in the roof.
But the mutant rats' ability to break holes was so strong that the pillow was drilled through halfway almost as soon as it was put on.
Xu Zishan had a ruthless look on her face. She simply threw the pillow away and stabbed the wound with a knife.
Blood spurted out, quickly flowing into the car through the hole in the roof. The stench of decay filled the entire car, making people feel nauseous.
However, although it was a bit smelly, the speed at which the holes on the roof were breaking was indeed much slower.
Seeing that this method was effective, the other team members also stood up and stabbed.
In just a few minutes, the blood flowing into the car had already reached above the ankles.
Getting closer and closer to the light.
One hundred meters. Eighty meters. Fifty meters...
"Hold on! We'll be out soon!"
When the scene before them suddenly became clear, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there were still many mutant rats attacking on the roof and a large number of rats chasing behind them, the bright light and the widened road gave everyone a greater chance of escape.
The convoy suddenly accelerated and drove hard for nearly twenty minutes before finally getting rid of the group of mutant rats.
