These Legs Would Be a Shame Not to Break

Lu Xin had originally thought they would drive to the Sleeping Mountains.

Or take a plane.

But unexpectedly, the Research Institute, which possessed more of the world's cutting-edge technology than anyone else, had chosen such a simple means of transport...

A horse-drawn carriage!

Two carriages with spacious cabins, black bodies painted smooth and gleaming, and tall, narrow tires clearly made of extraordinary material.

A lantern burning with candlelight hung from the front of each carriage, along with a butter-bright bell.

There were even reins and a whip up front.

However, the carriages were pulled neither by horses, donkeys, nor mules, but by a long, slender reptilian monster covered in fine scales.

If there was anything different about it from ordinary monsters, it was that two rows of eyes had grown symmetrically along its back.

Its four claws were each divided into five toes, thick and powerful, with an extremely firm grip on the ground. They looked rather like mutated human hands.

The Infiltrators either clustered around the carriages, constantly rubbing their feet against the ground,

or jumped onto the monsters' backs, looking every bit like seasoned coachmen.

"Let's go!"

Dr. An and Lu Xin sat in the carriage at the front, while the other five people squeezed into the one behind.

She lazily pinched the walkie-talkie at her collar, issued an order, then straightened her long legs and propped them up on the seat.

Lu Xin had no choice but to work on pulling his body toward the side of the carriage, doing his utmost to maintain his dignity.

He turned his head toward the window and saw that, after Dr. An gave the order, the Infiltrator riding atop the monster snapped his fingers. With a sharp snap, the two monsters with eyes growing from their backs immediately lunged forward.
