Chapter 250: Crows Everywhere in the Sky
Chu Ge followed Local Snake's gaze up into the night sky, where a massive crow hovered over the town.
With a wingspan of nearly three meters, its silhouette merged with the darkness of the night, and its eyes glittered with a blood-red light.
Chu Ge was immediately moved.
Xiao Zhang and Little Xiao turned to look following him, their faces turning pale with fright.
"What... What is that?"
Xiao Zhang stammered out the question; the cake in his hand fell to the ground without him realizing it.
Little Xiao, pale with fright, was unable to utter a single word.
Seeing such a large crow would invoke fear in anyone.
"Let's head back to the hotel!" Chu Ge stood up and announced.
He patted Little Xiao on the head, and she immediately snapped out of her shock and rose to pay the bill.
Soon, more and more people began to notice the flock of crows, while the large one mysteriously vanished, as if it had never been there.
After paying, the four of them quickly left.
In less than five minutes, they returned to the hotel.
They were staying in a suite with four bedrooms and a living room, each bedroom having its own bathroom.
Xiao Zhang stood in front of the balcony window, looking out nervously, and said, "Why are there so many crows outside, is that a bad omen?"
Little Xiao was so nervous that her hands trembled.
Local Snake began to smoke and said in a world-weary tone, "Don't worry, crows don't eat people, only corpses."
This statement only made Xiao Zhang and Little Xiao even more afraid.
Chu Ge was also worried.
The giant crow he had seen just now was definitely a Survivor.
Such a large one, exceeding the limits of its species, was absolutely a Survivor beyond Three Stars.
"I knew Africa was chaotic, but didn't expect this level of chaos."
Chu Ge complained internally, lying on the sofa, passing time by playing on his phone.
Half an hour later, tumultuous noises came from outside.
There were screams, roars, cries, as well as the sound of vehicles colliding.
The four of them, startled, gathered at the window to check out the situation.
They saw countless crows circling in the night sky above the town, occasionally swooping into the streets, many as large as chickens or ducks.
Their attention was caught by the largest crow.
It was that same giant crow with a wingspan of three meters.
Xiao Zhang and Little Xiao's eyes widened, their pupils shaking with extreme terror.
They were rendered speechless.
Chu Ge was deeply furrowed with concern, equally frightened by the apocalyptic scene outside.
Shivering, Local Snake asked, "Boss, what should we do now?"
"Let's wait and see," Chu Ge replied.
Although they were Survivors, they were not superheroes. Rushing out would be of no help and would only bring trouble upon themselves.
All they could do now was watch.
Time continued to pass.
Approximately another twenty minutes went by.
Gunshots rang out from various corners of the town, a clear indication that the situation had escalated to the point where firearms were necessary.
Bang!
A crow suddenly hit the balcony glass, startling all four of them into backing away.
The crow slid down the glass, leaving behind a streak of blood, an unnerving sight.
Soon, countless crows began heading towards the hotel where they stayed.
"Hide!"
Chu Ge commanded, immediately turning to run with the others following close behind.
They took shelter in one of the bathrooms.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
The door kept being struck, while Chu Ge used his back to hold it.
His strength was terrifying; not something a flock of crows could match.
But Little Xiao and Xiao Zhang were scared half to death.
"It's over... It's all over..."
Xiao Zhang muttered to himself, his face deathly pale.
Such a scene was straight out of a horror movie, and he was far from being the hero.
He felt certain that he was doomed.
Little Xiao noticed that Chu Ge's expression was very calm, and she was astonished inside, "Could it be that Boss Chu has encountered such an incident before?"
She also thought of the animal news she had seen before, seemingly deep in thought.
"Big brother, how long can we hold out?"
Local Snake asked nervously, as he listened to the sound of the door being hit, his heart was extremely panicked.
Chu Ge replied, "Let's see, even if there are many of them, they can't possibly keep ramming the door day and night."
After becoming Survivors, going hungry for a few days was nothing out of the ordinary for them.
Animals are not as precious as humans, needing three meals a day.
Many predators can go half a month on a single meal.
Local Snake nodded and didn't say anything more.
Xiao Zhang and Little Xiao started to chat, talking about the bizarre animal incidents they had seen to divert their attention.
The bathroom door continued to be pounded on, but with Chu Ge holding it, the door didn't budge an inch.
The pounding lasted until the second half of the night when it began to weaken.
It was hard to imagine how many crows had rushed into the hotel.
When the noise finally ceased completely, Chu Ge opened the bathroom door.
The scene before him made him freeze.
The entire corridor was piled with countless crow corpses, a dark mass, bloodstains everywhere on the walls, with feathers sticking to them, eerie and terrifying.
Little Xiao covered her mouth subconsciously at the sight.
Xiao Zhang was so frightened that he was stunned.
Chu Ge kicked through the pile of crow corpses with his foot, and the four of them struggled to reach the living room, only to find even more crow corpses there, causing their scalps to tingle.
"How could there be so many crows?"
Local Snake asked through clenched teeth, while Xiao Zhang suddenly began to vomit behind him.
A foul stench pervaded the air.
Chu Ge led them out of the suite door, and the outer corridor was also filled with crow corpses, and even a few human bodies, mangled and bloody, with deaths too gruesome to bear looking at.
Xiao Zhang's vomiting intensified, and Little Xiao also covered her mouth, ready to vomit at any moment.
It took them nearly ten minutes to get out of the hotel.
There were many injured survivors on the streets.
Under the night sky, the streetlights on both sides flickered, some sparking with electricity.
Corpses littered the streets, especially crow corpses, laying out a black roadway.
Terror!
Horror!
That was the feeling everyone had at the moment.
Communication was difficult, so Chu Ge couldn't understand what the people were saying.
Local Snake swallowed, saying, "Let's leave, better just to return to our country!"
Little Xiao and Xiao Zhang nodded.
They didn't want to stay a second longer.
Yet, with the town in such chaos, it was impossible to get to the international airport since there were no vehicles available.
Chu Ge surveyed his surroundings, looking for a taxi.
At that moment.
He suddenly felt like he was being watched.
He violently turned his head to look.
On the roof of a residential building hundreds of meters away, the giant crow was watching him with its blood-red eyes, coldly.
It hadn't left!
Chu Ge frowned, surprised.
Could it have noticed that he was a Survivor?
No way!
He suddenly thought of the terrifying text message he had received earlier. Could it be related to the giant crow?
"Let's move!"
Chu Ge said in a low voice, then turned and left.
Local Snake, Xiao Zhang, and Little Xiao immediately followed him.
"Big brother, are you thinking of walking to the airport?" Local Snake asked, puzzled.
Chu Ge replied, "Let's walk to the outskirts and see if we can find a taxi then."
Xiao Zhang and Little Xiao had no objections; they just wanted to leave the town as soon as possible.
The giant crow kept watching as Chu Ge and the others left.
Only after they disappeared from its sight did it spread its wings and fly away.
