New Zealand is vast and sparsely populated, with wide roads. Although there were a few accidents at this time, the roads were still passable. Bai Yi didn't dare to stop for a moment and drove the car along the road toward the southeast. Everyone was still in a state of shock, amazed that they could actually escape, that they could actually escape!
The car sped toward the city center to the southeast, and everyone felt as if they had survived a disaster.
However, this feeling quickly turned for the worse. Bai Yi, who was driving the large truck, suddenly turned and came to a sudden stop. Even so, the truck still got stuck in a huge pit in front. The few cars following behind also panicked and stopped, only to realize that the ground had suddenly churned up, and a circular mouth, over two meters wide, had risen from the ground, with sharp teeth grinding and rotating inside.
Seeing the unfamiliar and terrifying monster in front of them, everyone was stunned.
"What the hell is this thing!"
Even the most ladylike girl would probably curse in her heart at this moment.
The Demon Snake—its genetic fusion is unknown, and it is likely a mutant. Its length ranges from twenty to forty meters, with a head that is a large, circular mouth filled with countless sharp teeth, resembling a meat grinder. Around the head, it usually has several tentacles, each with a mouth and light-sensitive organs that can detect the presence of living beings.
The term "Demon Snake" is a general one; who knows how many similar monsters those experimenters have created.
The moment Yu Han saw the Demon Snake, he knew that going up to it would be suicide, so he immediately reversed and fled without hesitation. However, the few cars following behind were also fleeing from the monsters coming from the north and didn't stop, crashing directly into Yu Han's car. Yu Han's car had only retreated about ten meters when it was hit. If he hadn't been sitting in the front, he would have been crushed into a pulp.
"Shit!" Yu Han suddenly pulled open the car door and grabbed his long knife to get out.
"Over here!" At this moment, the others also got out of their cars, and Hong Qihua called out to everyone.
Everyone could see that the roads ahead and behind were completely blocked. The road ahead was completely overturned by the Demon Snake, making it impossible to pass, and the road behind was completely blocked by the crashed cars. Everyone was in a panic, and no one had a clear plan. Someone suggested running in a certain direction, and immediately followed Hong Qihua in that direction.
Gan Zhiming, who was running at the back, was immediately caught up by the Demon Snake and swallowed whole. The sharp teeth in the large, circular mouth closed instantly... a meat grinder! A short, sharp scream, and Gan Zhiming was turned into minced meat. Hearing this scream, everyone was jolted, and they all ran for their lives, as if bursting with all their potential.
Everyone thought Bai Yi and the others were doomed, having fallen into the hole where the Demon Snake emerged, and there was no way they could survive. But just as the Demon Snake was chasing the others, a Shar-Pei suddenly ran out, with Momo on its back. Behind it were Bai Yi and Woolf.
At close range, Bai Yi and Woolf could almost smell the terrifying stench from the Demon Snake, and no one felt it more deeply than they did.
"Shar-Pei, take Momo and run, run fast!" Bai Yi shouted at the Shar-Pei.
The Shar-Pei had been running for its life from the start and was very smart, not running around aimlessly but following Hong Qihua and the others. Of course, Bai Yi and Woolf were also running, but Bai Yi was also paying attention to the Demon Snake's movements while fleeing. Sure enough, when the Demon Snake discovered a few "prey" coming out of the metal object, it immediately noticed and extended a tentacle.
The tentacle was at least as thick as a bowl, with smaller tentacles on it, and a large, saliva-dripping mouth at the end.
"Jump!" Bai Yi shouted.
Woolf, sensing the danger, followed Bai Yi's command and lunged forward. The tentacle shot down from behind them. The hard ground was pierced like tofu, and the tentacle head pierced through and came up again, fiercely biting at Bai Yi.
"Go to hell!"
Bai Yi, in a fit of rage, turned around and grabbed his bone cleaver, chopping down with all his might. With a crack, the cleaver only cut in less than a centimeter, and this action only made the Demon Snake even more furious, letting out a shrill screech. At the same time, the Demon Snake's main mouth suddenly rose from another direction, and Woolf almost stumbled directly into it.
Woolf could almost see the flesh and blood of some unfortunate soul inside the mouth, and the closing sharp teeth...!
At this moment, Bai Yi pulled Woolf from behind, and the mouth closed just inches from Woolf's body, the stench of the sharp teeth falling in front of him, making his hair stand on end.
"Over here!"
Bai Yi immediately pulled Woolf into the lobby of a building, not caring where they were going. The Demon Snake, recognizing Bai Yi as the one who had injured it, immediately followed them in, causing a cacophony of breaking sounds in the lobby.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Bai Yi and Woolf ran up the stairs without a second thought, and others who were already in the building also ran up. White-collar workers, blue-collar workers, and social elites, none of them mattered now; they were all scared out of their wits, wishing they had an extra pair of legs.
Could they not run, damn it? To chase Bai Yi, the Demon Snake finally revealed half of its body, with a diameter of over a meter and a length exceeding twenty meters. Its head was a circular void filled with countless rotating and grinding sharp teeth, and it had five tentacles as thick as bowls, and a body covered with countless fine legs like a centipede. With one lunge, the building's stairs were bitten off like tofu.
"Ah...!" Woolf was a bit slower, and when the stairs were bitten off, his feet were left hanging, and his body was about to fall down.
Falling down would mean certain death, but suddenly Woolf felt a tight grip on his hand and realized that Bai Yi had caught him.
"Don't die, you bastard." Bai Yi cursed, but to Woolf, there were no better words in the world.
The two of them ran madly up the stairs. At this moment, thinking about a way out was pointless; the most important thing was to escape from this terrifying creature. The Demon Snake initially chased them up the building, but soon realized that this method was too slow and changed its approach.
It started digging holes!
The entire building became a toy for the Demon Snake to dig through. Its large mouth bit down, and the solid building immediately had a large hole. The Demon Snake then circled around the edge of the building, spiraling up. Only then did everyone see the full appearance of the creature.
With a diameter of about two meters and a length exceeding thirty meters, the front was a terrifying head, and its body was covered with countless fine legs, resembling a centipede. The tail was forked, with two long tail spines at the end. The Demon Snake continuously dug in and out of the building, spiraling up, revealing its full form. The people around were completely stunned.
"What... What the hell is this thing?" Qin Kairui and his group, on another street, stared with wide eyes at the Demon Snake coiling around the building, asking in a daze.
"Who cares what it is, just run!" Yu Han didn't want to die here.
"Daddy, I want Daddy... wail." Momo, on the back of the Shar-Pei, was crying bitterly.
Bai Yi didn't come out? They had thought Bai Yi had also escaped, but Momo's crying made everyone's hearts sink. Hong Qihua hugged Momo tightly, saying nothing. At this moment, even those who had the most faith in Bai Yi thought he and Woolf were dead. No normal person could survive facing such a monster.
"Sorry, Momo, your dad probably won't come back. We need to go quickly." Yu Han frowned and said to Momo.
"How can you talk like that!" Tang Ping immediately criticized him.
"How I talk is none of your business. I'm just stating a fact. The monster came from the north, and we don't know how many there are. Do you think it's safe here? If you want to die, stay here, but I'm not staying." Yu Han said coldly, looking at Hong Qihua.
"Go!" Hong Qihua immediately hugged Momo and ran forward.
Among the people present, only Yu Han and Hong Qihua were very decisive, which was unexpected. Yu Han was previously just an ordinary person, and Hong Qihua seemed very quiet and introverted, not standing out at all. In fact, most people only shine and transform in special times and environments.
With someone leading the way, no one continued to act foolishly. Staying here had no meaning; they would only become the monster's prey.
Hong Qihua held Momo, whose small hand kept reaching toward the building, her face covered in tears. Hong Qihua hugged Momo and gently stroked her head with one hand, a hint of sadness in her eyes. Behind the group, the building was continuously breaking apart and collapsing under the Demon Snake's rampage.
