Jonas's gaze was firmly locked onto Raymond, his heart filled with anxiety and concern. He knew that every step Raymond took was fraught with danger, and any slight misstep could lead to fatal consequences. His fingers quickly gestured, directing another mercenary to move forward and cover Raymond, ensuring his safety at all costs.
The mercenary reacted swiftly, nodding silently as he crouched low with his weapon drawn, moving closer to Raymond, ready to respond to any sudden threat. The air inside the vehicle felt as if it had solidified; everyone held their breath, waiting for what was about to unfold.
Raymond moved slowly, each step feeling like he was treading on thin ice, the sense of unease growing stronger within him. He could feel Jonas's watchful eyes on him like a pair of vigilant sentinels, providing a measure of comfort but also amplifying the pressure. His throat was dry from tension, and he couldn't help but swallow lightly, striving to maintain his composure.
The gun in his hand was gripped tightly, and Raymond's eyes were fixed on every movement outside the car window, his ears attuned to the faintest sounds. He knew he was about to face an unknown threat, one that might surpass all his previous combat experiences.
Standing by the window, his heart raced even faster, as if it were trying to leap from his chest. He took a deep breath, attempting to calm himself down, but the fear within him remained persistent. He understood that this was an unavoidable mission that he had to confront personally.
Raymond's fingers trembled slightly, yet he exerted all his strength to steady the gun's aim. The barrel pointed toward the outside world, ready to confront any sudden danger. Then he inhaled deeply again, holding his breath as he prepared to lean out of the window and see what lay atop the vehicle.
Everyone inside the car watched Raymond with bated breath, filled with unease and fear. Jonas's gaze was sharp as a knife; his fingers clenched tightly, ready to give instructions at a moment's notice. He knew that this moment would determine their fates, and Raymond was the one who would unveil the mystery.
Raymond slowly extended his hand toward the outside air, feeling it colder and more biting than inside the car. The sound of his heartbeat thundered in his ears; every cell in his body screamed danger. His eyes were fixed on the roof of the car, countless terrifying scenarios flashing through his mind. Yet he forced himself to remain calm, suppressing that fear deep within.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment; all eyes were on Raymond as they awaited the revelation of an unknown truth. Taking a deep breath, Raymond suddenly leaned out of the window, ready to confront whatever terrifying reality lay hidden atop the vehicle.
He thrust his head out abruptly, eyes tense and sharp as he aimed his gun at the roof. However, when he scanned the top of the car, he was taken aback—he saw nothing at all. The roof was bare; there were no signs of anything unusual, as if the strange sound had been nothing but a figment of his imagination.
Furrowing his brow tightly, Raymond's unease did not dissipate. He anxiously looked around in search of whatever had been moving just moments ago atop the car; yet no matter how hard he searched, everything remained eerily calm as if whatever it was had vanished into thin air at the moment he leaned out. The roof was smooth as usual, leaving no traces behind; that bizarre sensation intensified within him, enveloping him in an invisible pressure.
He took a deep breath again in an attempt to suppress his fear, but doubts and unease clung to him like shadows. How could this be? He had clearly heard a sound and sensed danger; yet now there was nothing to be found. What had that thing been? Why had it disappeared so suddenly?
At that moment, Jonas sensed something was off; his instincts told him that the crisis was far from over. His brow furrowed, a faint sense of foreboding creeping into his mind. Raymond remained outside, nervously scanning the surroundings but finding nothing. The eerie silence only heightened Jonas's unease.
Suddenly, Isabella's expression changed as if she had recalled something important. Her heart raced, and her breathing quickened as a terrifying thought flashed through her mind. She quickly recalled the tactical knowledge she had learned in the past and urgently whispered, "This is a classic diversion tactic! That unknown enemy might be deliberately drawing our attention away!"
Just as Isabella anxiously spoke of the diversion tactic, a sharp shattering sound erupted from the car window, as if something massive had crashed into it from outside. All eyes immediately turned toward the source of the noise, and fear spread like wildfire.
The glass shattered into countless shards, slicing through the air, and then a bizarre creature that resembled a humanoid figure burst into the vehicle. The creature appeared to be a human corpse eroded by Black Worms, its skin covered in writhing black tendrils that twisted and rolled over its body like a nest of intertwined insects. Its movements were disturbingly unnatural, contorting at angles impossible for any human as it lunged into the car, instilling a bone-chilling terror.
Mocus, closest to the window, froze in horror as he witnessed everything unfold. He barely had time to react before the creature pounced on him like a ravenous wolf. The black tendrils coiled around Mocus's body with the speed of a venomous snake, cold and slimy as they tightened their grip on his limbs and neck, rendering him immobile.
"Ah! Help!" Mocus screamed, his breath quickening as the tendrils constricted tighter around his throat, threatening to crush his windpipe. The Black Worms crawled over him, seeping into his skin as if they intended to devour him whole. His eyes filled with terror and despair as he struggled against the grip that held him fast.
The others in the car watched in horror, their expressions reflecting an indescribable fear. Isabella's face went pale; she staggered back a few steps, letting out a low gasp as she clutched the seat tightly for support. Allison attempted to move forward to help but found her legs frozen in fear; all she could feel was an overwhelming dread of the creature.
Jonas instantly shifted into combat mode. He raised his gun, aiming at the creature and preparing to fire while being careful not to hit Mocus. His finger tightened on the trigger as he focused intently on every movement of the monster, searching for the best angle to shoot. However, the creature moved with alarming speed; its black tendrils continued to constrict around Mocus, whose screams grew weaker as his life slipped away.
The atmosphere inside the car reached an unbearable tension and terror; everyone felt an invisible weight pressing down on their hearts, as if the shadow of death loomed overhead. Meanwhile, the creature continued to twist its body in grotesque angles, with Black Worms surging over it like waves, seemingly ready to engulf the entire vehicle at any moment.
