Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train
In the photo was a... mantis shrimp? A crayfish? A green-skinned shrimp?
But it had grown to the size of a human forearm, and its two claws were nearly the size of a palm, looking extremely hard and sharp.
"It's not just that it looks sharp; it really is sharp. It was able to warp a sewer cover."
"Hiss." Wen Zheng winced, "What on earth is that thing?"
"I'm not sure." Yan Yan pushed up her glasses and said rigorously, "I need to dissect it and compare it to know what it is."
"Alright, then shall we buy supplies and go back?" Ming Chu said, "I booked a guesthouse for two days. Let's go stay there."
No one had any objections.
The supermarket was right below the mall. The five of them discussed it and left 500 yuan for emergencies. Four of them went to the supermarket to buy things, while two went to rent a car. Those two were Wen Zheng and Lan Qi, who went out with umbrellas, while Ming Chu and the others went to shop.
The car rental place wasn't too far. By the time Ming Chu and the others finished shopping, Wen Zheng and the others were already waiting on the second basement level with the car. They pushed their shopping carts from the elevator to the basement and started organizing the items into the trunk.
Basically, Ming Chu was the one loading, and she easily stuffed the supplies from six large shopping carts into the car.
When the car came out of the basement, they were almost blocked at the exit.
There was no other reason; the rain outside was too heavy, and large waves of water were already pouring into the slope at the exit. One car was so scared it almost backed into someone else's vehicle.
Fortunately, although it was a close call, they finally made it out.
The moment they exited the underground parking lot, the heavy rain fell crazily. Even with the wipers on the fastest setting, the view ahead was blurred. Wen Zheng, who was driving, had excellent eyesight and could see the surrounding environment even in such weather.
But in the heavy rain, all the cars outside were moving at a crawl, under 10 mph, with hazard lights on, moving slowly forward, so Wen Zheng's car also became very slow.
Ming Chu navigated for him, and while everyone was in the car, she spoke up: "I received a hint before that part of the danger in this world is related to water, and another part might be related to marine life."
