Hitchhiking

That gigantic meatball... how should I put it?

It was like taking seven or eight shining pigs, complete with skin, flesh, bones, and all the organs, and then throwing them into a meat grinder, grinding them to pieces, and then pulling them out again, forming a spherical object.

Oh, it was just that the flesh on this ball wasn't from pigs, but...

Humans!

This thing had rolled in from the outside like that, directly shattering the glass door at the entrance. As it had rolled, some shattered glass shards had even embedded themselves in this meatball.

When the meatball had rolled into that laboratory, in front of the Meteor Rock Guild, when they had seen such a horrifying scene, several girls couldn't help but vomit!

This thing... had been too terrifying, too disgusting!

That meatball had been just a pile of minced meat, especially after it had stopped at the entrance and faced everyone. There had even been several shattered eyeballs embedded in it, along with some long and short pieces of intestines, and even a few toes stuck to it!

The stench had been overwhelming!

On the ground, there had been traces of greenish mucus left behind by its rolling.

"What the hell is this?!" Xia Xiaolei had cursed loudly.

But Lun Tai's face had already turned extremely ugly, and without hesitation, he had shouted, "Open fire! Don't hesitate anymore!"

After saying that, Lun Tai had already raised his gun!

The gun barrels spewed out tongues of fire, and the others, Xia Xiaolei and Qimu Xi, opened fire one after another.

Bullets swept across the meatball, instantly causing it to splatter blood and flesh. Lun Tai, along with everyone, retreated while setting up a grenade launcher.

Boom!

A grenade was launched, and it exploded right in the middle of the meatball. However, as the scattered pieces of flesh and greenish mucus flew everywhere, the meatball quickly rolled towards them!

"Run quickly!" Qiao Qiao and Roddy, who were trapped in the glass room, shouted loudly at the same time.

Lun Tai didn't hesitate anymore and shouted, "Spread out!"

With that, he quickly grabbed Soo Soo and tucked her under his arm, turning and running to the left. At the same time, he forcefully pushed Qimu Xi aside, pushing the little girl to safety.

The meatball charged recklessly, and the Meteor Rock Guild scrambled to escape. Xia Xiaolei grabbed Will and ran to the right, while Lun Tai held onto Soo Soo and Qimu Xi, running to the left.

However, the meatball suddenly rushed to the front of the glass room, then abruptly spun around on the ground. It bounced into the air and headed straight for Lun Tai, Soo Soo, and Qimu Xi.

"Be careful!" Qiao Qiao, trapped inside the glass room, exclaimed in fear.

Seeing the meatball chasing after Lun Tai's back, Qiao Qiao released her combat pet in desperation.

After a flash of darkness, a massive black widow spider appeared in the room, its eight spider legs moving quickly and positioning itself behind Lun Tai, blocking the meatball's path.

Crack!

Two scythe-like forelimbs came down directly, and the meatball made no attempt to dodge. Under the immense strength of the black widow, there was a sharp sound as the scythe claws struck the meatball head-on. It directly sliced a portion of the meatball's body!

Qiao Qiao felt a surge of excitement but then widened her eyes!

The severed portion of meat, on the ground, wriggled autonomously for a moment and transformed into a smaller-sized meatball, continuing to roll forward, but this time, it was chasing Lun Tai!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Far away, Xia Xiaolei, who had just dodged and turned around, started firing. A series of bullets hit the smaller meatball, slowing its pace.

Meanwhile, the larger meatball was charging directly at Qiao Qiao's black widow!

Although the black widow spider wasn't small in size, when it was struck by the larger meatball, it started retreating rapidly. It wasn't particularly skilled at charging attacks, but its scythe claws quickly sliced through the large meatball's body with sharp sounds, cutting it into several pieces.

However, what left everyone helpless was that although the black widow was fierce, the severed portions of the large meatball's body, once they hit the ground, transformed again into smaller meatballs and continued rolling around the room.

Lun Tai had already dropped the grenade launcher and switched to his handgun. He held Soo Soo with one hand and fired desperately. Soon, he emptied a magazine, then leaped, using the wall as leverage, and bounced to the side, avoiding the rolling of two small meatballs. On the other hand, Qimu Xi was in a state of panic, but fortunately, after Lun Tai landed, he grabbed a chair from the ground and smashed one of the small meatballs that was about to roll onto Qimu Xi.

Xia Xiaolei and Will had been forced to run around the room.

The black widow spider kept retreating, and Lun Tai noticed the issue, shouting loudly, "Qiao Qiao, stop cutting it! The more you cut, the more there are!"

Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and started a guerrilla battle with the black widow and the large meatball.

Soon, after the large meatball had circled the room, the small meatballs touched it, and they automatically merged back into the large meatball.

"Get out of here quickly! This place is too small to deal with it!" Qiao Qiao shouted loudly.

Lun Tai was sweating profusely, "We're leaving. What about you and Roddy?"

"We're inside, this thing can't hurt us. Isn't there a glass room and a fence?" Qiao Qiao was anxious. "You go now! Head to another place and figure something out!"

Lun Tai was decisive, "Alright! This place has an unfavorable terrain. We need to find a better spot outside."

Just at that moment, the large meatball had already merged the split small meatballs back into itself. Then, as Lun Tai and the others rushed towards the glass door of the laboratory, the meatball immediately rolled back.

Its massive body directly blocked the entrance with the glass door!

Qiao Qiao, inside the glass room, watched closely and cursed under her breath. Then, she controlled her black widow spider and charged forward!

This time, the black widow spider stopped about five meters away from the large meatball, waving its scythe-like claws but not approaching.

Soon, the black widow's abdomen sprayed out a silver-white, umbrella-shaped web!

This web seemed to have extremely strong stickiness, and when it touched the large meatball, it instantly adhered firmly to it!

As the black widow's web hit its target, its eight spider legs moved rapidly, pulling its body backward. Under the tension of the web, the large meatball was forcefully pulled away from the glass door!

"Now is the time! Run out quickly!" Qiao Qiao screamed from inside the glass room.

The black widow had already exerted all its strength, pulling the meatball backward. Lun Tai and the others rushed out of the glass room through the gap at high speed. Lun Tai was the last one, looking at Qiao Qiao inside the glass room, and he shouted loudly, "Hold on! We'll find a way to lure it away and come back to rescue you!"

As Qiao Qiao watched Lun Tai and the others run out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the black widow spider began to emit mournful cries.

Its scythe-like claws had made contact with the meatball's body too many times, and it was now covered in a lot of greenish mucus. It seemed that it couldn't pull the meatball any further. Suddenly, the massive meatball gave up struggling and forcefully propelled itself forward!

With the black widow's pulling force, the meatball slammed directly into the black widow's body!

Although it had a tough exoskeleton, this collision made the black widow let out a piercing scream. Its body stumbled a few times, with two of its spider legs hitting the wall. When it landed, it was clearly in an awkward angle.

Qiao Qiao immediately retracted the black widow spider back into her system. It was evident that despite the black widow's strength, it was at a disadvantage against the meatball. How could she fight against something that couldn't be dismantled even after taking it apart completely?

The meatball spun in place for a moment, seemingly ignoring Qiao Qiao and Roddy inside the glass room. Instead, it rolled out and chased after Lun Tai and the others. It quickly left the laboratory in pursuit of them.

"Roddy! We need to find a way out! They are in danger!" Qiao Qiao pounded on the glass room's door forcefully and shouted, "Do you have a way to open this damn fence?"

Roddy remained silent.

Unable to get a response from Roddy, Qiao Qiao turned around and saw Roddy swaying on his feet, as if his whole body was trembling, and his head hung low.

"Roddy?"

Qiao Qiao exclaimed in shock.

Roddy, as if he had just finally heard Qiao Qiao's voice, trembled even more violently. He lifted his head with great effort, his face now noticeably tinged with a green hue. Especially his eyes, the pupils seemed to emit an eerie green glow!

"Qiao, Qiao Qiao..." Roddy struggled, his voice carrying a sense of desperate struggle, "Quick! Get away! Don't come near me... I, I can't control it anymore... Ah..."

"What?" Qiao Qiao took an instinctive step forward, and just at that moment, Roddy suddenly lowered his head. When he raised it again, there was no emotion left in his eyes.

Roddy's body contorted, and he let out a low growl, opening his arms and lunging towards Qiao Qiao!

Bang, bang, bang...

Gunshots continued to echo from the hallway outside the laboratory.

But Qiao Qiao, trapped inside the glass room, was facing the greatest danger!

Roddy had lost control! He was crazily charging at Qiao Qiao!

Qiao Qiao dodged around inside the glass room, but how much space did the glass room have?

After a few rounds of chasing, Roddy cornered Qiao Qiao against the wall. Roddy's hand had already grabbed Qiao Qiao's shoulder, and he opened his mouth to bite down on Qiao Qiao's arm!

In Qiao Qiao's other hand, she had drawn a dagger.

However, when Qiao Qiao looked at her close friend, even though his neck, heart, and other vulnerable areas were all exposed to her, how could she bring herself to stab him?

Finally, Roddy bit down on Qiao Qiao's arm!

...

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom...

The roar of a motorcycle engine could be heard from the distance on the highway, and a bright red racing bike sped towards the scene.

Soon, it stopped at a gas station by the roadside.

Chen Xiaolian dismounted from the motorcycle, removed his helmet, and glanced at his watch.

His expression was somewhat grim.

Chen Xiaolian had already sensed that he might be in an ambush.

The team's communication system had been out of contact with everyone, which made Chen Xiaolian increasingly uneasy.

Looking at the almost empty fuel gauge on the motorcycle's dashboard, Chen Xiaolian parked the bike next to a gas pump, walked over, and removed the fuel nozzle.

This was his most suitable mode of transportation right now.

Although he still had the Thunderstorm Battle Tank in his storage wristwatch, the speed of the war chariot was far slower than that of a regular car.

After filling up with gas, Chen Xiaolian climbed back onto his car and continued driving north towards Tel Aviv. However, just as he left the gas station and had been driving for less than three minutes...

Suddenly, Chen Xiaolian saw a silver Bentley Continental parked on the side of the road up ahead.

A young man dressed in a white casual suit was standing by the roadside, smiling as he watched the speeding motorcycle. This guy even raised his thumb, making the international hitchhiking gesture.

Chen Xiaolian felt an extreme sense of absurdity!

This was a damn Instance dungeon!! A dungeon where normal people were wiped out!

Hitchhiking? A game participant hitchhiking on the highway?
