Chapter 311: Chapter 155: Level 3!_3
“`
Of course, things were definitely not going to be that simple, everyone was prepared for battle.
Then.
Bang—
Several cars crashed into the walls on either side of the street.
“What happened!”
Wang Tao looked toward Han Rui beside him.
The car he was in was driven by Han Rui, who also hit the wall.
“I, I don’t know what happened. I felt like I was driving straight ahead, how did I turn…”
Han Rui was somewhat panicked.
She had been driving for many years, and she could definitely tell the difference between going straight and turning. But she was sure she was going straight, yet she ended up crashing into the wall!
She didn’t feel any problems with the car, nor did she think she made any mistakes, but she crashed into the wall anyway…
“Continue, charge!”
After hearing Han Rui’s explanation, Wang Tao had a bad feeling, but he still shouted again.
Several drivers immediately straightened their vehicles and rushed towards the intersection.
Wang Tao kept his eyes on the Black Fog Monster that remained motionless on the rooftop, carefully observing Han Rui at the same time.
Then he saw, just after the car started, Han Rui suddenly turned the steering wheel to the right.
Bang—
The car hit the wall again!
It wasn’t just this car, the following cars also crashed into it.
Han Rui had a bewildered look on her face.
“I, I really was driving properly… How could this happen…”
Wang Tao sighed; there was no more room for luck this time, it was that Black Fog Monster’s doing!
It must have some ability to affect the mind, and it was even an area-of-effect ability!
However, this ability didn’t seem to be too strong? Otherwise, there was no need to make cars crash into walls, making people commit suicide would be much simpler…
“Get out of the car! Everyone, get out!”
Wang Tao immediately said.
It was clear that they couldn’t continue driving; they had to get out and walk. Without the cars, the likelihood of escaping was even lower…
After everyone got out of the car, aside from Wang Tao and Wei Zhenguo, the others all had weak legs, collapsing onto the ground.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Wang Tao quickly asked.
Ding Yuqin clutched Wang Tao’s hand with a terrified expression.
“Such a terrifying presence, I’m scared, I can’t move…”
The others were in the same state; they couldn’t walk!
“Damn it!”
Wang Tao hadn’t expected that these vehicles, reinforced with thick steel plates, also had the function of blocking out presences? While they were inside the car, they were scared, but not to the extent that they couldn’t walk because of weak legs.
Only Wang Tao and Wei Zhenguo were able to stand, possibly because both were Level 2 Ability users.
Having no other option, Wang Tao and Wei Zhenguo had to stuff everyone back into the vehicles.
“Huff—”
As soon as they got back into the car and closed the door, everyone took a deep breath.
“Just now… it was terrifying!”
Han Rui looked at Wang Tao with some fear lingering from before. The moment she got out of the car, she felt like she was about to die…
“`
Wang Tao felt a chill in his heart.
This monster is trapping people to death!
The car can’t move forward, and people can’t walk away, with our escape blocked as well… aren’t we sitting ducks!
At that moment, Wang Tao saw the mass of black fog on the rooftop stir. It drifted down the building’s facade like a dark cloud, floating leisurely toward the ground.
And as it approached, the terror within the people in the car grew stronger!
Not just them, even Wang Tao found his body becoming somewhat stiff.
Wang Tao felt that as soon as it fully landed and confronted everyone, no one would be able to move; they could only wait for death!
We can’t let it come near! We’ve got to lure it away!
Wang Tao looked at his companions, who were low on HP, at Ding Yuqin’s terrified little face, and at Han Rui, Wei Zhenguo, and the others’ readiness to fight to the death. He took a deep breath and said solemnly:
“When the time comes, find a chance to run away!”
Everyone immediately turned to Wang Tao.
“Wang Tao, what… what are you going to do?”
Ding Yuqin clutched Wang Tao’s hand nervously.
A resolute expression appeared on Wang Tao’s face.
“I’ll draw it away!”
“No! You… you’ll die!”
Before Ding Yuqin could speak, Han Rui immediately grabbed Wang Tao’s other hand.
She knew all too well the terror of this shadow. Although she had great faith in Wang Tao, she knew he was no match for it!
“Wang Tao…”
Ding Yuqin gazed at Wang Tao, her face wet with tears, shaking her head. She didn’t want Wang Tao to go to his death.
“I’ll go with you! I’m a Level 2 as well!”
Wei Zhenguo said with a resolute complexion.
He knew that trying to lure the monster away meant certain death whether they succeeded or not. He couldn’t let Wang Tao face death alone. After all, it’s just death; he wasn’t afraid!
But Wang Tao shook his head in refusal.
“No, Old Wei, you take them and run! Without your Level 2 strength, even if they managed to escape, survival in the post-apocalyptic world would still be uncertain. Not all Survivor Bases are as harmonious as ours… You must protect them; that’s your responsibility!”
“But you—”
Wang Tao had hit Wei Zhenguo’s soft spot with his words. He was not afraid of death, but he was terrified of being unable to protect these people who trusted him!
“Don’t worry! I’m lucky! I definitely won’t die, plus it’s more convenient for me alone!”
Wang Tao forced a casual smile on his face; he had a plan in mind, but it was uncertain if it would succeed…
Then Wang Tao immediately took a big bag from the trunk of the car.
The bag was actually empty, but while taking it, Wang Tao had filled it with many objects from the Space Backpack.
Swipe—
Wang Tao opened the bag, revealing various potions, Crystal Cores, medical kits, nutrient fluids, and other supplies.
“All these items are for you. You all know how to use them, so I needn’t say more…”
As Wang Tao spoke as if he was arranging his final affairs, tears welled up in everyone’s eyes; Ding Yuqin and Han Rui turned especially pale.
A tragic atmosphere lingered among them.
“Sob sob…”
Li Qiuyu, who had been silent at the side, couldn’t hold back anymore and began to cry with her mouth covered.
However, Wang Tao suddenly reached out, seized Li Qiuyu, and pulled her out of the car.
As everyone and Li Qiuyu looked on in utter confusion, Wang Tao placed his hand on Li Qiuyu’s neck and shouted loudly:
“Jiang Shixue! Come out! Help me with something! Otherwise, I’ll kill her!”
