Chapter 189: Territory

Boom, boom, boom!

The huge commotion was still coming from behind. As the off-road vehicle and motorcycle drove far away, the roaring sound behind them gradually subsided.

“Is everyone okay?”

Lin Xian pressed the communicator.

“No problem,” Shu Qin and Da Lou’s voices came through.

At this moment, the mysterious light of the dark tide on the skyline flashed, and darkness instantly enveloped the entire small town.

In the sky, a light rain began to fall.

Everyone’s expression immediately tightened. Affected by the experience of the Aberrations crawling all over the train last night, their eyes were constantly watching the darkness around them.

The headlights of the off-road vehicle and the motorcycle sporadically pierced the darkness of the small town street. But surprisingly, no Aberrations attacked in the darkness. The entire street was quiet and deserted except for the echoing roar of the engines.

“Captain Lin, what was that thing just now?”

Shu Qin’s voice came through the communicator. Lin Xian was panting heavily. He replied while riding at high speed, “If I’m not mistaken, the thing in that chemical plant is a large parasite monster, not some Blood Calamity Plant, nor is it some special object that can resist Aberrations. The reason why those Aberrations outside can’t get in is because this small town has a radius of several kilometers…”

“It’s all its territory!”

In the off-road vehicle, Shu Qin and Da Lou’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

Lin Xian was cursing in his heart at this moment. The so-called bone worm that Ding Qing had given him before was definitely not a good thing. He had calculated that he would definitely go to that chemical plant. Although he had advised him not to go, he had deliberately not revealed the actual situation inside. It was really a good way to kill with a borrowed knife!

Because this guy had saved KIKI and they had worked together to kill that white, upside-down monster, although Lin Xian suspected whether the parasite in the glass test tube could really prevent the invasion of Impersonators, he did not show it directly. Instead, he was prepared to go back and let Director Ding study it first. He didn’t expect something to happen so soon.

“Captain Lin, be careful.”

At this moment, a voice came from the communicator. Lin Xian came back to his senses, his eyes raised, and he immediately squeezed the motorcycle’s brakes.

Screech~

The sound of screeching brakes in the street. Lin Xian stopped the car, his eyes warily looking at the small town houses on both sides of the road. He slowly took the gun from his back.

At this moment, in the surrounding houses, dozens of faint candlelight were lit, just like what they had seen with the drone last night.

But what was strange was that the street was silent, and those houses didn’t look like anyone was living in them.

Lin Xian released the brakes and slowly drove forward, his eyes sweeping over the lit windows one by one.

At this moment, he found that in these lit windows, there seemed to be a black human figure standing. And as he approached, the human figure inside also seemed to slowly walk to the window.

Lin Xian’s pupils shrank. In an instant, he saw a man with a pale, expressionless face walk out of the shadows and stand by the window, looking at him with empty eyes.

Then, a strange smile began to spread across his lips.

Impersonator!

In an instant, Lin Xian felt a chill all over his body. The few of them looked up at this moment and saw that on the windows of the residential buildings on the small town street that were lit with candlelight, human figures began to appear continuously.

They were male or female, old or young, and they were dressed in the same clothes as humans.

Some were lifelike, while others had loose skin, and the gaps revealed the twisted red worms on the muscle tissue inside, which looked very strange, as if the human skin was not worn properly.

“Let’s go!”

The countless strange gazes from the windows along the street fell on him, making Lin Xian feel a bone-chilling cold. He directly revved the engine and rushed out of the small town with the off-road vehicle.

On the freight platform of Rain Town, the lights inside the Infinity were warm. Chen Sixuan stood on the roof shooting cabin of car number 2 with a sniper rifle, her expression anxious as she looked at the fast-approaching headlights. Shasha, Lu Xingchen, Miao Lu, and others were also outside preparing to provide cover.

Vroom!

The off-road vehicle and motorcycle quickly drove into the station. The lifting platform of car number 11 was lowered in advance. Da Lou skillfully drove the car in, and Lin Xian and KIKI also drove the motorcycle up.

After the lifting platform was raised and the cockpit door was closed, Lin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are you guys okay?”

Chen Sixuan came down from the shooting cabin, closed the roof, and said nervously.

Lin Xian looked at the several scratches on his body and shook his head. “Lucky.”

He glanced at the cars behind him and asked Chen Sixuan, “What about you guys?”

“We found a lot of things in those warehouses,” Shasha stood up and said at this moment. “We didn’t encounter any monsters. Sister Chen said you encountered some Impersonators. We were so scared that we all ran onto the train and waited for you to come back.”

Lin Xian nodded, relieved in his heart.

It seemed that his judgment was correct. In this kind of strange and unknown place, it was better not to let those ordinary people with unknown combat effectiveness explore, otherwise they would really become cannon fodder. And besides increasing casualties, they wouldn’t be of much help.

“Then what do we do now? It’s dark. Are we leaving?” Chen Sixuan said with a worried look on her face.

Just now, when she heard Lin Xian talk about that human-like monster, she felt uncomfortable all over. This fear even surpassed that of those insect and spider-like monsters.

Lin Xian took a few breaths, opened the sun visor, and looked at the dark station outside the window and the silhouette of the small town shrouded in the night. He said with a grave expression, “Let’s observe first. If that parasite monster doesn’t chase us, our best choice is to stay here until dawn. If it does, we’ll leave immediately. Everyone, get ready. We may leave at any time.”

“Okay.”

Everyone responded. Lin Xian then instructed Shu Qin, Da Lou, and others to check each car. Chen Sixuan went to the cockpit, opened the train’s limiters in advance, and stood guard there, ready to leave at any time.

The night was desolate. Because of the appearance of the Impersonators, the people on the train were discussing among themselves, and an anxious atmosphere filled the cars. At this moment, in this small town with Impersonators and some kind of parasite, everyone looked at the darkness outside, and the strange feeling was even stronger than last night.

Lin Xian came to the cockpit and saw Chen Sixuan sitting upright, her face full of anxiety. He comforted her, “Don’t be too nervous. We’re still safe on the train. The little girl and I encountered them during the day. Besides the big parasite in the chemical plant, those Impersonators’ combat effectiveness is not strong. As long as we are more cautious, it should be fine.”

“Mmm, I know,” Chen Sixuan said with a worried look and a sigh. “But I’m thinking, if these things appear in other places, I don’t know how many convoys will encounter them. And they can also appear during the day.”

Lin Xian pondered, “Not necessarily. It seems that those Impersonators are controlled by some kind of parasite, and they should all be related to the big Aberration in the chemical plant. It’s very likely that these things can only move within a certain range.”

“I hope so,” Chen Sixuan nodded. “By the way, Director Ding seems to be busy with something. Do you want to go and see?”

“I was just about to look for her.”

Regarding the parasite problem, Lin Xian felt that he needed to talk to Director Ding.

But just as Lin Xian turned around, Chen Sixuan suddenly grabbed his wrist. “Lin Xian, look!”

Lin Xian quickly turned his head and saw that in the darkness of the station outside the cockpit porthole, a human figure was rapidly approaching. And from its form, the human figure was not running, but floating.

His expression immediately changed, and he was about to make a move. Who knew that the black shadow quickly appeared within the range of the headlights. A familiar face with an angry expression appeared in Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan’s sight.

It was KIKI!

She quickly flew to the window, her face pale, and shouted angrily at Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan from outside the car.

“Lin Xian, you bastard, why didn’t you wait for me and came back by yourself!!”
