Chapter 901: Chapter 108: Spirit World Invasion
“What’s happening?!”
The people inside the cable car all turned their heads towards the direction of the screams.
About seventy to eighty meters away from them, across ten or so cable cars, there was a cable support tower. The cable car from which the screams originated had stopped right above the support tower, and at the moment, it was continuously swaying.
Through the windows, one could see chaos inside, with figures moving frantically.
“Help me…”
Then, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
In that cable car, for reasons unknown, some passengers had jumped out of the car’s door, not just one person but a total of three or four in succession.
Accompanying the thuds of their falls, all of those who landed went silent.
“What is that?!”
Zhao Yu pushed open the cable car door and stuck his head out to get a clearer view of the situation.
At the moment, inside that cable car, there was the same kind of skinless monster like the one they had seen last night.
The creature was inside the cable car, incessantly tearing off the skin from the remaining passengers and pasting it onto its own body.
The few survivors in the car were indeed still alive, but it was as though they had lost all ability to resist, only able to wail in pain, with none of them fighting back.
From the twisted arm of one person, it was clear that their inability to resist was not for want of trying, but because they had already lost the ability to do so.
“What on earth is going on?!”
The other passengers on the cable cars were utterly stunned, too scared to speak.
Some people took out their phones again, but of course, there was still no signal.
“Look at the sky…”
Zheng Qianqian, who was introverted and usually quiet, suddenly pointed to the sky outside the window.
Everyone looked up to see that the sky had turned dark purple; there was no sun, no moon, and even the star ring was gone.
The Titan Star was huge and naturally had tremendous gravitational force, with a very thick ring of stars surrounding it.
As citizens of Titan Star, every person had seen the star ring from childhood, and it was even recorded in history books.
But now…
“The star ring is gone…”
“If we can’t see the star ring, are we no longer on Titan Star?!”
“But we’re still on the cable car, right?!”
“No, didn’t you notice that this cable car seems different from yesterday’s?”
Zhao Yu noticed that compared to yesterday, the cable car seemed to have more rust and appeared older.
It was as if time had left its mark, suddenly acquiring a sense of decay.
“It seems so…”
“This is not important; what’s important is, what’s happening over there?”
Hu Yapeng said shakily, more frightened by the creature over there than by these details.
The attention of the others was once again drawn to the situation on the other cable car.
“What is it tearing?”
“Looks like human skin…”
“It’s tearing it off to stick onto itself?!”
Everyone felt their scalp tingle.
Especially a few of the girls, who outright said they’d rather die first than suffer such torment.
A few minutes later, the screams in that cable car had stopped abruptly; perhaps the passengers inside were already dead.
The creature, now covered in a variety of human skins, crawled out of the car.
After briefly orienting itself, it shockingly crawled onto the cable car rope.
And then, climbing along the steel cable of the rope, it continued toward the next cable car.
“Run!”
Upon seeing this scene, someone couldn’t help but yell out loud.
The few classmates in the cable car felt their hearts being squeezed, hoping those inside the car could do something.
All eyes shifted to that car, where several men were standing at the door, seemingly ready to hold their ground.
“Bang~!”
The tempered glass, which could withstand bullets, was shattered by a blow from the creature.
What happened next was no different from the scene in the first cable car.
Some tried to resist and were easily crippled, some chose death over submission by jumping, and others were subdued by the monster, turned into carriers of skin.
The grisly spectacle once again assailed everyone’s vision, filled with cries and screams.
“Won’t someone save us?!”
Inside the cable car, Liang Bei had long since lost her usual composure, crying out with a touch of lament in her voice.
“We have to run; staying here is certain death!”
Zhao Yu’s heart tightened, understanding that if they were to face this kind of creature now, even he would surely die.
The only option for now was to find temporary refuge.
He believed that a world capable of supporting trillions of people must surely have its reasons.
As long as they held on, a turn would inevitably come.
“How do we run, we’re on the cable car!”
Hu Yapeng was also feeling desperate. At this moment, he could care less about flirting and spoke with a sense of falling apart.
Zhao Yu didn’t explain anything but instead demonstrated his plan with actions.
He clung to the edge of the cable car, extending most of his body out. Then, grabbing a protruding part on the outside of the car, he pulled on it forcefully, making sure it was secure. With a powerful leap from his legs, he launched himself upward, climbing onto the roof of the cable car with hands and feet.
The others were stunned, not expecting Zhao Yu to be so agile.
Of course, they were more astonished at his courage because this was dozens of meters up in the air, and a fall would mean certain death!
“No, but even if you get up there, what can you do?”
Hu Yapeng was panicking. He certainly couldn’t do what Zhao Yu did by climbing to the top of the cable car.
At this moment, he was afraid Zhao Yu would escape on his own.
