After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.
Chapter 7 Midnight Rental
"Get out of the way!"
In a state of extreme terror, a person's reaction speed becomes exceptionally sharp.
The moment the taxi rushed toward the group, driver Jiang quickly dove to the side, rolled several times on the ground, and hid behind a dead tree as thick as a person.
The woman in red did the same, hiding behind another thick tree.
Perhaps because she had been too tense before, she felt more tired than ever before now that she was safe.
The woman in red felt her legs go weak, and her vision went black as she collapsed to the ground. As she wiped the rain from her face, she greedily inhaled the air.
The two of them hid behind the dead tree and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Only then did the two realize that Chen Zhuo, who had been standing with them, had not chosen to do what they had done—to find something to hide from the taxi's collision.
They remained rooted to the spot, showing no intention of dodging.
"Hey buddy! Get out of the way! That thing is charging at us!"
As the taxi sped up and got closer to Chen Zhuo, the driver, Jiang, shouted anxiously at Chen Zhuo, trying to warn him to get out of the way!
But no matter how much he shouted, Chen Zhuo didn't move.
Seeing this, driver Jiang tried to rush forward and pull Chen Zhuo over.
But before he could make a move, the woman in red suddenly spoke up.
"It's no use, it's too late! Instead of worrying about his safety, you should worry about your own life."
In this desolate wilderness, if that monster is truly bloodthirsty, then after killing that young man, it'll be your and my turn next!
In the eyes of the woman in red, Chen Zhuo was already a dead man!
The woman in red, slumped on the ground, her eyes filled with fear and despair, shakily got up, leaning on a withered tree, and staggered into the depths of the woods.
Upon hearing this, Driver Jiang froze on the spot, a chill instantly spreading from his feet to his entire body.
The woman in red is right!
Now is not the time to save others or do good deeds; my own life is the most important thing!
While that thing's attention is entirely on Chen Zhuo, it's crucial for me to get out of here and save my life!
Thinking of this, Driver Jiang turned and ran, but his kindness made him worry about Chen Zhuo.
Before he could run a few steps, he turned back to look at Chen Zhuo.
At this moment, the taxi was less than five meters away from Chen Zhuo. At the taxi's current speed, it would only take a second or two for it to hit him.
Even if Chen Zhuo reacts now and tries to dodge, he has no chance of surviving.
The thought of the bloody scene made it impossible for Driver Jiang to bear watching any longer. He closed his eyes and turned his head back.
He ran for an unknown amount of time before his speed gradually decreased.
"That should be far enough, right?"
Even if the distance isn't far enough, I can't run anymore.
With each breath, Driver Jiang felt as if his lungs were on fire, yet he still staggered forward.
At the same time, he suddenly realized that at least half a minute had passed since then, but why hadn't he heard any impact sound from behind?
The woman in red seemed to have noticed this as well, and slowed her pace, peering through the gaps between the dead trees at everything happening on the road.
That one glance completely shattered their worldviews, leaving them speechless and utterly bewildered.
Chen Zhuo remained standing in the same spot, without changing his posture at all.
But the taxi that was about to hit him stopped less than half a meter away from him, and the scratches left by the emergency braking could be faintly seen on the ground.
On the left, Chen Zhuo was as steady as a mountain, while on the right, the taxi braked suddenly.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate, their confrontation seemingly harmonious yet tinged with an eeriness.
"What exactly is going on?"
The woman in red remained silent for a long time before speaking incredulously to ask the driver, Jiang, who was also finding it unbelievable.
Driver Jiang shook his head blankly: "I don't know either, but we seem to be safe! That guy is definitely not an ordinary person; if we stay with them, we can survive!"
His voice carried the relief of surviving a disaster, mixed with a hint of awe for Chen Zhuo.
Upon hearing this, the woman in red realized what was happening and ran towards Chen Zhuo's direction together with the driver, Jiang.
But as they approached Chen Zhuo, an even stronger fear than before gripped their hearts, causing them to abruptly stop in their tracks.
"Record the bizarre files!"
Chen Zhuo sensed someone approaching and quickly suppressed the eerie energy emanating from his body.
Players in bizarre games will become corrupted by eerie energy as they encounter more and more strange things.
However, the eerie energy does not harm the body and even has many benefits, one of which is to deter weaker and more eerie creatures.
However, Chen Zhuo usually kept it at bay, otherwise, with the physical abilities of an ordinary person, it would be impossible for them to get close to him, which would cause inconvenience to his life.
"Mysterious Code Name: Midnight Taxi!"
As Chen Zhuo approached the taxi, he turned on his phone's recorder. Then, he turned slightly to the side and asked the driver, Jiang, about the appearance of the midnight taxi.
After receiving an accurate answer, he continued taking notes.
"Strange appearance: an old, slightly peeling taxi."
Bizarre Abilities: Disables electronic devices, uses navigation to lure others into remote wilderness areas, and secretes a slightly corrosive mucus in the vehicle to digest any living beings inside.
A peculiar weakness: in-car navigation systems.
Record complete!
Having survived for years in bizarre games, Chen Zhuo has developed an amazing ability to see through things. He can deduce the approximate capabilities of a midnight taxi driver from just a few bits of information.
Driver Jiang isn't stupid. Chen Zhuo has made things so clear. If he still doesn't understand the truth, then he really is a fool.
The taxi he was driving was very likely the strange vehicle Chen Zhuo had mentioned.
Everything they had just experienced was the work of this midnight taxi!
Looking back now, the mysterious disappearance of driver Wang and his passengers is probably inextricably linked to this.
"Could it be that because their phones were unusable, the driver and passenger, guided by the car's navigation system, ended up in a deserted place, locked inside the car, and then digested by that slime?!"
Driver Jiang gasped, a chill rising from his feet to the top of his head, and a strong sense of lingering fear welled up inside him.
If it weren't for Chen Zhuo, he would probably have followed in Driver Wang's footsteps today.
His gaze toward Chen Zhuo was filled with gratitude and admiration.
"Bizarre?! Does such a thing really exist in this world?!"
The woman in red was on the verge of collapse, curling up on the ground and sobbing softly.
Chen Zhuo didn't care what the two people were thinking; he only had one question in his mind: "Why are strange things appearing in the real world?"
However, this midnight taxi driver wasn't very intelligent; he only had the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, so you couldn't get any information out of him.
This is why it immediately stopped attacking Chen Zhuo after sensing the strange aura emanating from itself.
However, since the strange phenomenon has appeared in the real world, it is definitely not the only one. There must be other strange phenomena. All I need to do is wait patiently.
With that thought in mind, Chen Zhuo stopped worrying about it and gently tapped the engine hood.
"From now on, you will follow me! Whether you agree or not is up to you, and I think you should understand the consequences."
