American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers! - Chapter 968: Insect Crisis, the Murderous Intent of the Rebellious Knight

The next day, early in the morning.

Nell kept her hands steady on the steering wheel as the car drove along the familiar winding road outside the town of Smallville.

Soft country music was playing on the radio, and Lana's clear voice was heard on the car's Bluetooth.

"Aunt Nell! Guess what?"

Neil's mouth corners raised, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes stretched out, and her voice was full of pampering: "My dear, I knew you wouldn't miss any opportunity! Louise is right, what's there to be afraid of if you try? You are much better than those arrogant people in the metropolis!"

She could imagine her niece's face, which must be flushed with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

Outside the car window, the familiar farm scene passed by quickly, and Peter's red barn in the distance looked particularly peaceful in the sunset.

"I hope so..." Lana's voice was filled with the longing unique to young girls, "If it really works out, I'll treat you to the best steak at the Towers, Auntie!"

Neil suddenly remembered something, so she asked her, "Lana, do you have a boyfriend at school?"

When Lana heard her aunt mention having a boyfriend, she was speechless.

"I'm sorry, auntie, I want to focus on my studies and I don't want to spend too much time on love."

Neil knew that Lana was saying one thing and thinking another.

Lana understood what her aunt meant.

She said in a somewhat depressed mood: "This is uncontrollable, aunt."

Aunt Nell tried to continue, but the last syllable got stuck in her throat.

Outside the windshield, the sky was suddenly swallowed up by a rapidly expanding, surging and boiling darkness.

"Om-!"

The buzzing sound instantly drowned out the music and Lana's voice, as if countless engines were roaring at the same time.

Neil's heart sank suddenly, the blood in her body solidified instantly, and her fingers subconsciously clenched the steering wheel tightly.

Darkness hit the glass.

Tens of thousands of beetles, countless numbers!

Each of them is the size of a coin, and their hard, shiny shells gleam with an unnatural green phosphorescence in the sunlight.

The insects flapped wildly, hysterically hitting the windshield with their legs covered with strange mucus and their hard head shells.

The sticky secretions and the dull sounds of impact mixed together, crackling and dense. The entire field of vision was instantly completely covered by this wriggling and flickering living tapestry, and not a single ray of daylight could get in.

"Lana!"

Neil's voice suddenly rose, and fear instantly tightened around her heart like a poisonous snake.

"Oh my God! Bugs! So many glowing bugs! They...they cover..."

She tried to see the road ahead, but all she could see were madly twisting green spots and disgusting mucus that kept spreading.

"Oh!"

The huge inertia threw Neil's body forward, and the seat belt cut into her shoulders, causing severe pain.

The steering wheel twisted violently from side to side and was completely out of control!The tires screamed harshly, and the rubber rubbed violently on the road, emitting blue smoke.

Then the whole world tilted and spun wildly in her eyes.

"Dangdang!"

A deafening roar tore through the tranquility of the road.

The huge impact force threw Neil up into the air, and then she was tied back to her seat by the seat belt.

Then Neil felt the whole world was shaking and shattering wildly.

The front of the car was deeply dented, the hood was twisted and tilted, and white smoke mixed with water vapor hissed out. Severe pain exploded violently from Neil's shoulder, golden stars flashed before her eyes, and her ears were filled with sharp buzzing and the hissing sound of metal cooling.

The strong smell of gasoline, mixed with an indescribable smell of insect secretions, almost suffocated her.

She gasped for breath and struggled to turn her painful neck.

Through the windshield, which was covered with spiderweb-like cracks and covered with mud and sticky insect fluid, she saw the hellish scene outside.

They formed an eerie sea of ​​light around the overturned car.

Insects crawled and flew madly, bumping into each other, making a continuous, maddening buzzing sound.

What made her even more frightened was that some bugs were trying to get in through the tiny cracks on the edge of the windshield.

Fear was like an icy tide that instantly overwhelmed Neil.

She fumbled with the seatbelt buckle in vain, her fingers shaking with pain and fear.

Just as she was gradually falling into despair, the sound of an engine coming from far away penetrated the suffocating insect chirping.

Then, with her blurred vision, Neil saw a familiar, slightly old blue Ford pickup truck, which slammed to a stop not far from the overturned car.

The tires left long tracks in the mud.

"Oh my god!" Persephone gasped.

"Aunt Neil! It's Aunt Neil's car! Dad, go save her!"

The sharp-eyed Theresa was the first to discover Neil inside.

Then, another figure rushed out from the driver's seat at a speed far beyond that of an ordinary person, like a blurry shadow passing over the ground, and rushed straight towards the overturned truck.

The strong, pungent smell of gasoline wafted towards him.

Peter frowned and grabbed the edge of the deformed car door.

The metal groaned under his fingers.

With a teeth-grinding, piercing noise of steel being torn and twisted, Peter tore off the heavy car door, which was so stuck that even the rescue team needed hydraulic tools to pry it open, like tearing a piece of cardboard.

Peter immediately saw Neil trapped in the twisted driver's seat.

There was a cut on her forehead, and blood flowed down her pale cheek, staining her collar red. Her eyes were blurred with pain and fear.

But the moment she saw Peter, a strong light of desire for survival suddenly burst out from Neil's dilated pupils.

Her hands, stained with blood and mud, trembled, and she used her last bit of strength to tightly grasp Peter's strong forearm.

"Don't worry, I'll get you out."

Peter comforted her while holding Neil's arm.

He was about to take his daughter and Persephone to the supermarket to buy some things, but he unexpectedly saw Neil getting into a car accident.

After rescuing Neil, Peter's eyes instantly turned silver, and with a "boom", he burned all the insects that were flying towards him into ashes.

In the shadowy depths, almost blending into the crops, a thin, twisted human figure appeared.

Due to the distance, the face was blurry, but the sharp vision brought by Peter's superhuman senses still clearly captured the true face of the shadow.

"Is it that guy?!"

Ten minutes later.

The two prepared to continue catching insects.

But at this moment, Mordred had a strange expression on his face.

She did not show any joy.

Staring at Tim Glig, Mordred placed his hand on the knight's sword he brought with him, looking as if he could stab out at any time.
