Wang Ziping had no intention of abandoning Tang Xuhai, a person with such high martial prowess, even if he hadn't managed to get Tang Xuhai into his car.
He drove with his family, knowing that the chances of survival were higher in a group than braving the unknown alone. Wang Ziping explained to Liao Ke that he had observed families with strong, able-bodied members, mentioning a military camp in the eastern suburbs. Given the threat of extraterrestrial creatures, many were inclined to seek refuge with the military.
Some of Wang Ziping's group drove ahead of Tang Xuhai, while others trailed behind, aiming to form a protective circle around Tang Xuhai.
Tang Xuhai was aware of these vehicles, but while he hadn't actively shaken them off, he wasn't keen on being used, specifically by Wang Ziping.
However, Wang Ziping hadn't considered that while the chances of encountering extraterrestrial beings alone were low, in a group, it became almost inevitable!
Their large group and visible objective made them an easy target.
An extraterrestrial with flailing tentacles leaped from a high building by the roadside, crashing onto the roof of the foremost vehicle!
The driver was terrified and instinctively slammed on the brakes.
Stopping, however, risked getting surrounded. Tang Xuhai swiftly maneuvered, avoiding the trapped vehicle's side, but the car behind him wasn't as fortunate, crashing into the first car's rear.
The impact might have thrown off a human standing on the roof, but this alien, with its tentacle-like limbs, firmly anchored itself, possibly with suckers or hooks.
Doors flew open, and occupants from both cars panicked and ran. Another extraterrestrial emerged from a nearby alley, lunging into the crowd, swiftly wrapping its long appendages around a person's neck.
"Help me!!!" The person's plea went unanswered, as their car only had an iron hook, which, in their panic, remained unused.
Helpless and horrified, the companion watched as the extraterrestrial pierced the person's skull and turned towards them.
The agile extraterrestrials, with their tentacles, moved swiftly among the towering buildings and cluttered streets, resembling apes in the jungle.
Wang Ziping floored the gas pedal, noticing another extraterrestrial catching up from behind. He made a split-second decision, veering aside and crashing the pursuing car.
The following driver, eyes wide with terror, had no clue about the extraterrestrial catching up from behind. In desperation, they swerved sharply, hitting the median. With a few quick steps, the extraterrestrial latched onto the shattered window and slithered in.
Amidst the terrified screams behind, Wang Ziping, maintaining a stern expression, instructed his family, "Hold on tight."
Tang Xuhai, composed and focused, dealt with the situation. When the leading car collided with the median, he had to brake, slowing down. The cars beside him fled, prompting Tang Xuhai to change lanes.
Fu Shiwu clutched the window handle tightly, feeling his heart leap to his throat. The horrifying scene left him speechless.
Observing Tang Xuhai's transformation from his usual carefree demeanor to a serious, sharp-focused individual, Fu Shiwu saw him skillfully maneuver the steering wheel, shifting gears now and then.
Acknowledging his own lack of skill, Fu Shiwu admitted that he might have also braked reflexively if he were driving the first car.
The area grew chaotic, more extraterrestrials converging. The one that had infiltrated their car crawled out from the rear window, preparing to leap towards them.
Thinking quickly, Tang Xuhai hit the gas, ramming into the obstructing car's rear. The airborne extraterrestrial was thrown back by the force.
Tang Xuhai clenched his lips, forcefully opening the car.
Peering inside, Fu Shiwu saw the occupants in that car were beyond help.
Gripping the handle tightly with one hand and holding onto the seatbelt with the other, Fu Shiwu watched as Tang Xuhai maneuvered aggressively, attempting to shake off the extraterrestrial climbing from behind.
"What do we do? It's climbing up!" Fu Shiwu nervously glanced backward, voicing his concern.
Tang Xuhai glanced at the rearview mirror, recognizing it as the same one he had thrown out earlier. Despite the extraterrestrial being flung away, its tentacles, resiliently, hooked onto the car's rear again.
"Damn it, it's persistent!" Tang Xuhai cursed. Typically, any other creature would have been dragged to death at such speeds, yet this one persisted.
The extraterrestrial pounded the car roof, but the SUV's robust build, although contorted, showed no signs of breaking.
"What do we do?!" Fu Shiwu, in panic, stared at the deepening dent on the roof, speaking incoherently.
"Stop yelling!" Tang Xuhai frowned, at least attempting to get out of this neighborhood.
The car turned onto a main road lined with tall buildings. Tang Xuhai headed towards a parking lot behind the tall buildings.
"Where are you going?" Fu Shiwu asked.
