The Ant Horde (1)

The sound of engines grew louder, accompanied by rapid clicking noises, followed by the eerie echoes like a thousands of knives scraping against metal and bone, interspersed with gunshots. 

Everyone turned toward the back window, puzzled by the strange sounds. 

In the passenger seat, Nanzhi's eyes sharpened. She activated her mental exploration.

Thin strands of mental energy shot out, stretching to the right. 

They slithered like snakes, moving swiftly before halting at 100 meters—just within the range of her mental exploration. 

She detected hundreds of mental energy wavelengths, each at least Tier 1 in strength with mix of Tier 2. 

These were definitely alien beasts. 

Their numbers were no less than a hundred, and they appeared to be chasing something. 

The Ashfall Street was narrow, barely wide enough for one car to pass through. 

Fighting a horde in such a confined space would be troublesome.
