Chapter 359: Chapter 243 Monster Appears

There were many people at the scene, and Zhang Xiaoman was currently unable to ascertain exactly what had happened, so he could only slowly follow the police officer in front and evacuate.

Chu Liang had initially planned to return to the program team, but thinking that he had not yet had the chance to add the "big shot" as a friend, he decided to follow him and leave this place first. It wasn’t too late to add him as a friend in a less crowded area and then go back.

After all, the show had already been recorded, and the final segment was still seven kilometers away, over at Crystal Plaza; he could simply drive there when the time came.

Initially, there was some slight unrest among the crowd when they heard they had to leave, but this situation was quickly calmed down by the surrounding police, and the evacuation proceeded in an orderly manner.

"Dang, where are we retreating to? We’ve come so far; isn’t it enough yet?"

Chu Liang raised his head to look at the distant scene and found that the crowd continued to spread until the end of the street, with no sign of stopping.

Finally, some conflicts started to emerge at this point.

Many people had thought that they were only evacuating East Crossing Street, but it turned out that the entire Jiangnan Road needed to be evacuated.

As a result, some people wanted to retrieve their cars from the parking lot and leave, but due to the crowd, it was difficult to change directions, and the nearby police urged them to leave first and come back for their cars later.

Many people naturally didn’t want to make the trip twice, so they stealthily changed their direction toward the roadside parking lot, causing the originally orderly evacuation team to start getting congested.

"Dang, it’s all jammed up ahead. Hey, why don’t we just sit and wait for a while, since we can’t get through anyway?"

Chu Liang glanced at the street ahead, which was temporarily impassable, and then found a grassy area by the road where there were fewer people. He plopped down on a bench there.

Zhang Xiaoman looked ahead and saw that it was indeed as he said; the street was completely congested.

The reason was that there was a parking lot exit here, and a few car owners drove out, intending to leave with their vehicles.

Pulling Lin Sisi onto the bench, Zhang Xiaoman also felt very helpless now.

Although he was 70% sure that something unusual had happened nearby,

due to the chaotic scene, it wasn’t a good time to use his skills to investigate, and he couldn’t figure out where the danger was lurking.

Looking at the shops along the road, he suddenly felt the impulse to take Lin Sisi and hide inside one.

After all, both of them could teleport. They could just teleport away when the time came, saving themselves from suffering here.

Zhang Xiaoman was still contemplating the feasibility of this plan when Chu Liang next to him spoke up:

"Hey, it seems like we won’t be able to hold our last segment on time, but we’re still pretty lucky. Assistant Chen just said that they’re still stuck at the third shooting location; they don’t even know when they’ll be able to get out."

Lin Sisi sat next to him, clutching a small box tightly in her hands, remaining silent.

Up front, the police had not anticipated such an event, and after consulting their superiors, they immediately responded to the sudden situation here.

They deployed personnel to block the parking lot exit, instructing all vehicles not to take to the roads.

At the same time, they directed the few private cars that had made it to the street to the roadside, clearing space for the crowd to pass through.

"All personnel, please comply with the temporary command and scheduling regulations and evacuate in an orderly manner! No vehicle is allowed on the road; violators will be detained and held legally responsible!"

A warning tone sounded from the police car’s siren, and the street, under the police’s guidance, finally regained its flow.

Chu Liang did not get up immediately; instead, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened up a social chat app, and once again said to Zhang Xiaoman:

"Brother Man, do you think we should add each other as friends now? I’m worried that it’ll be too crowded later and we might get separated..."

Zhang Xiaoman was speechless at his relentless persistence and thought about just adding him. After all, he could always delete him later.

He took out his phone, ready to scan the code to add the other as a friend, when Lin Sisi suddenly spoke up. Her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of confusion.

"Brother Xiao Man, did you hear anything? I thought I heard some strange noises..."

"Noises?" Zhang Xiaoman was startled.

Lin Sisi listened carefully again before she spoke uncertainly.

"Yes, it seems like it’s coming from underground..."

As soon as her words fell, a rustling sound immediately started, reaching everyone’s ears on the scene.

"What is that noise!?"

Not far away, a middle-aged woman perked up her ears and said, and clearly, everyone around had also heard the weird rustling sound.

A young man nearby immediately changed his expression and loudly said to his companions, "Not good! It might be a gas leak! Everyone, get out of here quick!"

His words instantly caused a commotion.

The crowd around began to flock away, quickly moving away from the area where the anomaly was occurring as if there would be an explosion in the next second.

Zhang Xiaoman naturally didn’t dare to delay. Whether it was natural gas or some monster, it was clear that staying here wasn’t safe. He immediately pulled the little girl and walked towards a distant place.

However, just at that moment, there was a sudden dull noise behind them on the lawn.

It was like there had been an explosion underground; soil mixed with pieces of grass sprayed out.

Amidst the dust, a thick vine broke through the earth, shooting straight towards the direction where the three of them were.

Zhang Xiaoman instantly sensed the anomaly.

He quickly pushed Chu Liang aside and then pulled Lin Sisi to dodge in another direction, narrowly avoiding the vine’s attack at the last moment.

It was indeed an alien species!

Zhang Xiaoman immediately looked back, seeing a vine at least ten meters long slowly standing upright behind them—the same one that had just attacked them.

"Ah!!!"

Around them, after a brief moment of shock, screams burst forth.

Everyone who saw this scene began to run frantically towards the distance, plunging the streets that had just calmed down back into chaos.

"Monster! Holy shit! Monster! Run!!"

At that moment, regardless of age or gender, everyone fled headlong towards the outskirts.

When faced with a real life-or-death crisis, the body instinctively reacts a step ahead of the brain.

Things like ’don’t panic in danger, first take a photo and post it on social media’ are completely out of the question.
