Chapter 1057: Black Clouds Sweep

Like the outer regions, this place had clearly been abandoned for a long time. The streets were clogged with abandoned cars, flanked by silent high-rises. Inside and outside the town, it seemed as if no living creature could be seen…

“Wait…”

Ling Mo suddenly raised a hand, stopping Xiao Bai, then frowned and whispered, “The target… seems to have stopped.” He sensed for a moment more before confidently looking ahead, “Yes, it has stopped.”

“Stopped? Here?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Na looked around cautiously… They were standing in the middle of the street, surrounded by vehicles crashed into each other. Most of the cars were covered in dust, and even the exposed areas were splattered with blood, showing no signs of any creature existing here…

“Mm… Be careful, it might have discovered us… The one I was following is now darting around this small area, making it hard to pinpoint…” Ling Mo warned in a low voice. He glanced into the car beside him, which was dark inside, the original leather seats stained red-brown with blood, but as Yuwen Xuan had said, no trace of bones could be seen inside…

“Understood. Since we’re here, we should search a bit… Maybe it’s trying to stall us here temporarily…”

Xia Na’s analysis was exactly what Ling Mo was worried about. He nodded and said, “Alright… but let’s not spread out too much, and consider the possibility of them ambushing us. From what they’ve shown so far, this is likely their specialty.”

“Yes, we will.”

The three female zombies exchanged a glance, then swiftly took action.

Facing such an elusive enemy for the first time, they were all very meticulous. Li Yalin’s eyes changed, and her figure flickered, silently appearing more than ten meters ahead. Xia Na carried her scythe, the bright blade hanging behind her, slowly moving into the gaps between the vehicles. As for Ye Lian, she gently drew her short knife and then nimbly darted along the car edges. Until a replacement barrel for the sniper rifle was found, she had to temporarily use such a weapon…

Xiao Bai cautiously followed Ling Mo, occasionally sniffing the ground hard, its red eyes vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Such coordination without communication was indeed a kind of tacit understanding… As they slowly advanced, Ling Mo sensed the positions of the puppet and the target, while also reflecting on this point with some emotion.

Moreover, aside from them, the Miracle Squad seemed to be increasingly in sync with him… Especially in some inexplicable matters, they calmly chose to ignore and accept them. Of course, this was largely due to Mu Chen and Yuwen Xuan’s influence. But regardless, this situation made things much easier and more convenient for Ling Mo…

Otherwise, just the inclusion of Yu Shiran and Black Silk would have been enough to give him a headache…

And among these silently cooperating people, there was also the pilot who didn’t talk much and wasn’t familiar with Ling Mo… Zhang She.

This cooperation essentially meant the greatest trust… Although Ling Mo didn’t consider himself a good person, he would never let go of an enemy who had ambushed them at their doorstep and killed a companion…

“What on earth… Why can’t we even see its true form…” Thinking of this, Ling Mo gritted his teeth in frustration.

“Clang!”

Suddenly, a sharp sound came from a pile of abandoned vehicles ahead, and everyone simultaneously turned their heads.

“What is it?!”

“Has it appeared?”

“Quick, chase!”

But just then, a dark shadow suddenly leapt out from a car Ling Mo had passed…

He immediately felt a gust of wind rushing towards the back of his head. Almost reflexively, Ling Mo shot out several tentacles, simultaneously shouting, “Watch out!”

Ye Lian and the three girls immediately turned back, but in the blink of an eye, those seemingly motionless vehicles suddenly erupted with hundreds… thousands of dark shadows!

These shadows lunged at them, their speed was astonishingly fast!

“Whoosh!”

After Ling Mo shouted, he felt his tentacles being scattered by a forceful impact… And at the same time, more dark shadows leapt out from the vehicles on his sides, almost instantly, Ling Mo found himself surrounded by a dense mass of black… 𐍂Å𐌽∅ВĘS̩

He was surrounded!

At this moment, Xia Na and the three girls were also entangled by numerous dark shadows. Although they were desperately trying to break free, it was difficult to come to his aid immediately.

“Damn, ambushed!”

Ling Mo quickly condensed hundreds of tentacles in less than a second… However, these dark shadows were not only small in size, fast in speed, but also had astonishingly quick reflexes. The most terrifying aspect was their impact power, each like a small missile, while Ling Mo, in contrast, was caught off guard, unable to effectively counterattack, only able to protect himself.

And clearly, their target was him… As a human in the squad, he undoubtedly seemed the easiest to deal with…

Although Ling Mo had mentally prepared for this, he hadn’t expected them to emerge from such an unexpected place… In this regard, the enemy had indeed caught them off guard.

“MeGu!”

Xiao Bai also reacted sensitively at this moment, leaping and carrying Ling Mo to the side.

Yet even so, the dark shadows relentlessly pursued… It felt like the moment they dodged, they were quickly surrounded again…

The movement speed of these dark shadows remained consistently high, even at close range, Ling Mo could only see fleeting afterimages…

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

They continuously lunged at Ling Mo, each time aiming for his vital spots.

Ling Mo’s thoughts raced, relying entirely on his rapid mental reflexes to withstand the ambushers.

“MeGu!”

In a brief moment, Xiao Bai let out two angry roars. It carried Ling Mo, darting left and right, but unable to break through.

Instead, the dark shadows seemed to notice this, redirecting some of their attacks towards Xiao Bai.

After several failed attempts to break through, Xiao Bai, eyes blazing, suddenly leapt high, then flung Ling Mo from mid-air.

“Xiao Bai!”

Ling Mo quickly shot out a tentacle, landing twenty meters away under a utility pole.

When he looked back, Xiao Bai had already swelled up with a muffled roar.

Its body almost doubled in size instantly, then it spread its limbs, “Boom,” and slammed onto the ground.

As it landed, Ling Mo even felt a tremor, almost losing his balance.

But the dark shadows quickly scattered, only to surge back like a tide once it landed.

Xiao Bai leapt up, attacking fiercely while jumping left and right.

But in terms of agility, the disadvantage was clear… Xiao Bai could only rely on its tough, thick-skinned body to maneuver with the dark shadows for now…

“Not over yet…”

Ling Mo was about to move forward when he noticed the cars in front of him gradually turning black…

Not only the car bodies and roofs, but also streams of black liquid quickly emerged from under the car chassis…

Ling Mo slowly stepped back, only to find a wall behind him…

Not far away was a shop, but the distance between him and the door was a good seven or eight meters.

“Crunch crunch…”

Ling Mo finally heard the sound up close, but to his horror, it wasn’t the creatures’ cries, but… the sound they made while feeding!

The creatures Ling Mo and the others had dealt with completely disappeared after the dark shadows passed, not even leaving a drop of blood.

And the target they wanted to devour now was Ling Mo standing here…
