Chapter 1357 - 684: "Crowd" Packed with "People" (2)
So we must speed up our actions.
The four of them steadily moved forward, and gradually, more and more alien invaders moved freely around them.
Already, two alien invaders passed by them.
Xu Xin noticed that it seemed unnecessary for them to deliberately avoid the alien invaders coming their way.
The alien invaders seemed to instinctively take a slight detour around them, avoiding a head-on collision.
A thought sparked in Xu Xin’s mind.
This seemed explainable too.
They weren’t invisible; rather, they barely registered any presence.
The alien invaders could actually see them but just didn’t consider them important.
Therefore, when they approached, the aliens subconsciously avoided colliding with Xu Xin and the others, choosing to slightly sidestep.
This indeed relaxed Xu Xin and the rest quite a bit.
They continued forward, passing stall after stall.
More and more alien invaders surrounded them.
Li Wenxi leaned closer to Xu Xin, as near her side, an alien invader covered entirely with tentacled eyes passed by.
Watching from such close proximity, the physiological discomfort grew even stronger, prompting even Jin Yue to turn her head away.
"Eeek..." Keke lightly called out again, pointing forward.
The density of alien invaders ahead was quite high.
At least a hundred alien invaders crowded there, almost impenetrably so.
The clumped alien invaders looked like a mass of writhing black sludge, with numerous undulating black tentacles and countless eyes struggling amidst the crowd.
...It looked like a scene straight out of Hell.
Xu Xin and the others watched, involuntarily swallowing hard.
Their skin crawled with goosebumps.
The alien invaders crowded together seemed particularly interested in something.
Even some invaders at the back extended tentacles from their bodies to peek inside with eyes on the tentacles.
"This..."
Xu Xin felt the cold sweat on his forehead starting to bead again.
Is the thing they wanted in there?
Were they meant to squeeze in?
...Might as well just commit suicide for simplicity.
"Eeek..." Keke pointed again at the pile of alien invaders.
Okay.
It really is in there.
[Incredible...]
[Don’t...I...]
[Let...have a look...]
[Selling...things...]
The sheer number of alien invaders filled his mind with countless thoughts all at once.
After listening for a while, Xu Xin couldn’t discern why they were gathered, only knowing that the thing was a coveted item among them.
"Let’s circle around a bit," Xu Xin whispered.
His words didn’t attract the aliens’ attention, drowned out by the noisy influx of invaders and their harsh voices.
"Hmm," Li Wenxi nodded with a frown.
The alien invaders’ bizarre and grating voices were truly unpleasant.
She felt a bit dizzy from it all.
Who would’ve thought, just the sound of the aliens could cause them harm!
They circled around the group of alien invaders but still couldn’t find a way in.
Not even a gap to look through.
A space about the size of several stalls was tightly packed by over a hundred alien invaders.
"Eeek..." Keke squeaked quietly.
The little one seemed scared of the crowd of invaders.
But it really wanted to go inside, beginning to wiggle restlessly in Xu Xin’s arms.
Its small body might actually fit through the gaps in the invader mass if unnoticed.
But Xu Xin couldn’t let it go alone.
Whether it’d be discovered was uncertain—he couldn’t risk it.
"Don’t move, let’s wait a little longer."
Xu Xin and the others moved slightly away from the "people" jam.
"This is tricky..." Xu Xin frowned at the clump of wriggling black sludge.
"More than a little, this is a huge problem, mm..."
Lou Fei’Er popped a peeled tangerine slice into her mouth.
The alien swarm’s noise had her dizzy, and the tangerine helped refresh her.
"Could the thing all these alien invaders are interested in be what we’re after?" Li Wenxi asked, shifting her gaze from the black mass to Xu Xin and the others.
"Very likely," Jin Yue nodded softly. "Taking what they want right under their noses—it’s far too difficult."
Xu Xin’s knitted brows reflected the same concern.
The sheer number of alien invaders was one thing, but the critical thing was that so many of them had all their eyes fixed on their target.
His previous method was simply impractical—it was suited for stealing, not seizing in broad daylight.
"What should we do..." Xu Xin mumbled to himself.
Minutes passed, yet the alien invaders remained, unmoving.
"Those guys have been stuck there, hardly moving," Li Wenxi remarked, looking over. "Will we have to wait here indefinitely?"
Xu Xin remained silent.
It felt like they were running out of time.
