Chapter 34: Besieged
by SunflowerLin Xian got off the motorcycle, grabbed the car plate, and began to counterattack the giant spider.
He fired several Air Cannons in a row, but because the distance was too far, they only made a few slight vibrations when they hit the black shadow in the thick fog.
At this time, the giant spider’s long legs attacked again. Lin Xian’s eyes flashed, and he immediately pounced in front of the little girl, raising his hand to create an Ice Shield!
Pfft!
The long leg pierced through the Ice Shield, but it was also blocked. The sharp spider leg tip almost touched the little girl’s face.
The little girl’s eyes widened, and she breathed rapidly in astonishment. She looked at Lin Xian. “You’re an ability user?!”
“Sha Sha, use this!” At this time, the rear partition window of the cockpit opened. The driver was a burly man with a rough face. He handed out a grenade launcher. The girl named Sha Sha took it without a word, skillfully loaded it, and raised her hand to fire a shot at the giant spider!
Bang!
The huge impact made the little girl stagger, and with the inertia of the car, she sat on the ground.
But she didn’t seem to care. Seeing that the parabolic grenade had hit the strange spider and exploded in a burst of flames, she widened her eyes and exclaimed excitedly, “It hit! It hit!”
“Good, take advantage of its weakness to kill it!”
KIKI stood up at this time, gritted her small teeth, and was about to use her ability, but Lin Xian grabbed her.
“No need!” he said.
At this time, the giant spider was hit by a grenade and let out a piercing shriek, but it quickly disappeared into the thick fog, losing its target.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only KIKI was a little angry. She looked around for the black shadow. After finding that she could no longer see it, she turned to look at the little girl.
“Hey, what’s your name? You’re pretty good.”
The little girl had short hair and was wearing a black down jacket. Her face was a little dirty from fleeing for a long time. She looked at the two people in front of her and didn’t speak. Instead, she knocked on the rear window panel, as if she had discovered a treasure.
“Brother, this man is also an ability user.”
The man driving glanced at the rearview mirror and drove with concentration without looking back, as if he was not good at speaking.
Lin Xian’s eyes narrowed slightly. The little girl said ‘also’. Did that mean that one of the two of them was an ability user?
“Lou Hua, Lou Shasha. My brother is a block of wood and doesn’t talk much.” The little girl held the grenade launcher and sat next to the rear window panel, introducing herself to the two of them.
Lin Xian forced a smile and said gratefully, “My name is Lin Xian, this is…”
“My name is KIKI. Are you guys new here too?”
Lou Shasha shook her head when she heard this, her eyes looking at the thick fog. “We arrived the day before yesterday, but like those people, we’re trapped in this damn fog.”
“What? You mean we can’t get out of this fog?” KIKI’s brows immediately furrowed. “How can that be? Just because of that spider just now?”
“Not just that…” The little girl pouted. “There are all kinds of monsters in this fog. All the phones and radios are useless. And if a person dies, they will quickly be infected and become some kind of monster. It’s very strange.”
Lin Xian asked, “You said those people just now. Are there many people trapped here?”
Lou Shasha gestured in the direction the car was going. “There are at least a dozen convoys and hundreds of people trapped here. They’re all in that square over there. My brother and I originally wanted to take the opportunity to rush out at dawn, but…”
Lin Xian’s face sank when he heard this. Things seemed to be much more serious than he had imagined.
“What kind of monster is it that so many people can’t rush out?”
“Who knows?” Lou Shasha shrugged helplessly. Although she spoke in a childish voice, her expression was very mature. “Those monsters in the fog seem to have telepathy. If everyone doesn’t move, no monsters will come. But if anyone runs out, they will all swarm out of the fog…”
“So strange?” KIKI looked puzzled. “Don’t they attack you after dark?”
“What does it matter if it’s dark or not?” Lou Shasha said with some discouragement. “In two days, this place will also enter a polar night. At that time, we’ll all be finished…”
Lin Xian looked at the brother and sister, his expression a little solemn.
If what Lou Shasha said was true, this thick fog was almost no different from the dark night. And those monsters strangely did not take the initiative to attack the survivors who were stationed together. It sounded like they were playing with their prey, which was chilling.

He took out the walkie-talkie and sure enough, there was no signal.
He couldn’t contact Chen Sixuan. He could only hope that Professor Chen could hold on.
“Then what should we do?” KIKI sat next to Lin Xian and tightened her coat. Because she had used her ability once just now, her face looked a little tired.
“I don’t know,” Lin Xian said. He looked at Lou Shasha. “So you guys are planning to go back to that square first?”
Lou Shasha nodded. “We can’t rush out, and there’s no other way.” As she spoke, she looked at KIKI and asked, “Are you cold?”
KIKI’s eyes widened and she nodded.
Lou Shasha rummaged through a large pile of luggage in the back of the car without a word. She finally found a slightly looser blue sweater and handed it to her. “Here, this is my biggest one.”
“Wow, thank you~”
KIKI’s eyes lit up. She took it without any politeness, took off her baseball jacket, put on the sweater, and then put on the jacket again.
“But I don’t have such long pants.” Lou Shasha glanced at KIKI’s long legs with a complicated expression. Her expression was as if she felt cold just by looking at them.
“It’s okay, hehe.”
KIKI said with a smile, “It’s much warmer, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
It was better than nothing. Compared to the thin little tube top before, this thick sweater immediately made KIKI feel much warmer.
The pickup truck bypassed many damaged cars and slowly drove into a T-shaped large square. The thick fog here became much thinner. Lin Xian saw many survivors’ vehicles in his sight from a distance. In this place similar to a small town’s central square, dozens of specially modified vehicles were parked.
These vehicles formed a simple defensive line in a circular parking formation. There were heavy trucks, various jeeps and off-road vehicles, and even armored vehicles and oil tankers.
But when the pickup truck drove into the square, a dozen people with guns suddenly appeared in front and blocked the way. The sound of various bullets being loaded sounded in unison, and the dark muzzles were aimed at Lou Hua who was driving and the three of them in the car.
“Who are you?!”
A scar-faced middle-aged man with a gloomy face in the crowd shouted at them in a hoarse voice.
“Living people!” KIKI stood up directly, her hands on her hips, and responded loudly.
Lin Xian also stood up at this time. He glanced over and saw that although these people were dressed differently, they were all wearing the same style of bulletproof vests. They seemed to be some kind of armed team.
“Eagle.”
At this time, a tall young man with a cold face walked out of the fog behind. The young man looked to be in his early thirties, wearing shiny military boots and a handsome set of tactical equipment. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses on a foggy day, which looked a bit strange.
The young man walked out, took off his sunglasses, and walked forward slowly. He looked at the cockpit and said coldly, “It’s you two again.”
The young man’s name was Qian Yu. He was the leader of the largest ‘Black Jiao’ convoy among these convoys. He had an armed team under him, all of whom were former members of his security company. The team had hundreds of people, a lot of equipment, and was well-equipped. So among these trapped survivor convoys, he unceremoniously regarded himself as the leader.

The pickup truck door opened, and a man as strong as an iron tower got out of the car. He was over two meters tall. When he got out of the car, Lin Xian even felt that the whole car had been raised by a few inches.
Lou Hua looked to be in his early thirties. He had a square face. Because he was not good at speaking, he had an aura of keeping strangers away, which made the gunmen around him who were holding guns couldn’t help but change their expressions.
“Hey!”
The short Lou Shasha raised the grenade launcher and stood on the front of the car. She said unceremoniously, “We’re not from your convoy. Do you have the right to control where we go?”
