Chapter 163 Lou Mi
Xiao Luo had already released a psionic barrier when the convoy stopped, but it didn't seem to work. These 'water snakes' kept facing the convoy, neither leaving nor getting closer.
"Danger! Follow me!"
After the convoy endured the longest, most tense seconds, the water snakes actually formed several Chinese characters in the air.
This is a warning from humans.
The water snakes surrounding the convoy immediately disintegrated.
The water snakes that make up the Chinese characters merge into a large snake as thick as a thigh, swimming swiftly into the distance.
"Keep up"
Xu Si also saw the Chinese characters in the air.
He had sensed something was wrong earlier; if these water snakes were clones of the Rain Demon, they should have attacked them long ago.
But instead of acting rationally, they seemed to be manipulated.
It is now confirmed that these are all masterpieces of humankind.
The water snake was very fast, and the convoy sped up accordingly.
Finally, just as Fu Xiaojian's sense of crisis reached its peak, the convoy, guided by the twisted water snake, hastily drove into a hidden underground entrance, which appeared to be a former air-raid shelter.
The sloping concrete ramp was dark and damp, with large pipes and rusted supports remaining on the walls on both sides.
A chilling tremor and a muffled roar came from overhead, as if a giant beast was trampling and gnawing over the city.
"Turn off the headlights and engine! Remain silent!" Fu Xiaojian ordered in a low voice over the walkie-talkie, his voice as taut as a fully drawn bowstring.
All the headlights and engines went out instantly.
Jiang Li's light blue barrier quietly rose, isolating most of the sound and possible energy fluctuations, while Xiao Luo's psionic barrier also unfolded at the same time.
The ordinary people on the bus held their breath, and even Yao Yao covered her mouth tightly, her big eyes filled with terror.
Xu Si's "Star Trail" extends upwards with all its might, penetrating layers of concrete and soil.
In his star-tracked field of vision, some deer, magnified dozens of times, whose bodies were made of some kind of grayish-brown substance that looked like a mixture of rock and moss, were "licking" the exterior walls of tall buildings with their huge mouths.
They only licked a thin layer of what appeared to be rainwater clinging to the exterior walls of the buildings.
However, the damage to the building structure was not severe.
"So those buildings were actually this 'clean'," Xu Si thought with a chill.

[We strongly recommend staying away from this place immediately!!!]
As these giant creatures moved back and forth, the sounds coming from the ground revealed just how enormous they were.
While the others in the convoy couldn't see it, Xu Si sensed it clearly within the Star Trail World. It was a strange, deer-like structure, comparable in height to buildings.
The visual impact on Xu Si was even more exaggerated than that of the [Time Delay Mirage].
Moreover, these creatures live in groups.
The convoy dared not make a sound and could only wait for these guys to leave quickly.
Xu Si's star trajectory turned towards the air-raid shelter where they were currently staying, but after a search, he did not find anyone who would help them.
Perhaps those guys aren't actually here; they're just temporarily helping them avoid trouble.
However, judging from the behavior of those water snakes, this team is at least friendly to other teams.
Without this team, their team would probably have paid a heavy price.
Inside the bus, several ordinary people were trembling, their teeth chattering. The tremors from the ground were too intense, especially the echoes of the impacts inside the air-raid shelter, which sounded like something out of hell.
Yao Yao huddled tightly in Wang Hu's arms, her face pale, but her eyes were full of stubbornness.
Jiao Jiao covered her mouth tightly, looking down at the top of the pickup truck—no, at the ground. The enormous sound seemed like it would collapse the air-raid shelter at any moment.
Su Su clenched her fists, her body swirling with dark golden energy, ready to respond to any emergency.
Xu Si's "Star Trail" is like the most sophisticated radar, locking onto every movement of those colossal objects above.
Those strange entities marked as "building moles" by the system seemed unaware of the infiltration of this group of "ants".
They continue to slowly and deliberately, with an almost pious attitude, "lick" the substance that has condensed on the exterior walls of the high-rise buildings.
"It's rainwater... no, they're absorbing the energy contained in the rainwater," Xu Si realized.
The unusual "cleanliness" of those city building surfaces is not due to physical licking.
Instead, these buildings use a kind of "gravity siphon" ability to strip away and absorb rainwater and its accompanying weak energy.
This explains why the rain was lighter in the city and why these strange phenomena lingered there.
To them, this abandoned city shrouded in continuous torrential rain is a natural mine that slowly extracts "energy brine".
Time passed slowly in the deathly silence and oppression.
Every second felt like an eternity.
Finally, with a series of loud, thumping sounds fading into the distance, the tremors from the ground gradually subsided.
"Have they left?" Fu Xiaojian's voice was extremely low on the walkie-talkie, with a hint of uncertainty and hoarseness.
"They are moving away, but it's uncertain whether they've all left," Xu Si responded, adding that Xinggui is still maintaining maximum vigilance.
After waiting for about ten more minutes, Xu Si confirmed that the last bit of Lou Mi's enormous energy reaction had also disappeared into the depths of the city.
"It's okay. It's safe for now."
Everyone exhaled a long, silent breath, but no one dared to relax.
"Just now...those water snakes..." Shao Bing's voice rang out, filled with doubt and vigilance.
"There must be people in this city," Xu Si said in a deep voice.
"They should be friends!" Fu Xiaojian asked the crucial question.
"I don't know. But at least it helped us just now." Xu Si pushed open the car door, his boots making a clear echo on the damp, cold cement floor.
The convoy waited and did not leave.
Since someone is helping them, it must be more than just helping.
In the apocalypse, encountering another caravan is not an easy thing.
Whether it's exchanging supplies or exchanging intelligence, it's a valuable opportunity.
"Where is the person who saved us?" Jiao Jiao asked softly, straining her eyes to see in the dim light.
"I don't know," Fu Xiaojian's voice remained calm and steady.
"So what do we do now?"
"wait!"
As for who they're waiting for? They're definitely waiting for the other party to show up. No matter what the next steps are, they have to wait.
As for whether we'll be able to get it, we'll have to wait and see.
The voice just fell.
"Tick-tock..."
"Tick-tock..."
The clear sound of dripping water suddenly broke the silence of the fortifications.
It wasn't rainwater leaking from above.
The sound came from ahead of the convoy, from the shadows completely swallowed by darkness.
Even Xu Si's star trails hadn't been detected, but he knew there was indeed someone there.
