Things weren't looking very good.
I picked up the shotgun at my feet and quickly checked it. By then, the car had already gotten far away from that enormous fat—
I glanced in the rearview mirror. The fat man hadn't caught up, but things still looked dire. Just then, Yuxuan had—
A series of—
Choking clouds of white smoke billowed from behind the car. A hole had also burned through the roof, and it kept growing.
"Put these on!"
Mu Qing slapped the car's glove compartment. Its door popped open, revealing two gas masks inside.
"Th-this..."
Yuxuan froze for a moment, but Mu Qing didn't hesitate. She quickly stopped the car in the middle of the road, reached in, grabbed the two gas masks, and tossed one to Yuxuan.
After quickly putting on the other one, she turned, shoved open the car door, and jumped out.
Although she didn't know what was going on, Mu Qing didn't look like she was joking. The girl quickly put on the gas mask.
Of course, it was made for adults.
It felt far too big on her body.
It hung loosely, but there was nothing she could do about that. She pushed open the car door and jumped out after her.
Mu Qing had already started running into the distance. Yuxuan followed right behind her. As she ran, Yuxuan looked back at the car.
The rear half of the car was now wreathed in billowing white smoke, and the tires had begun to burn. She had no idea what that corrosive liquid was made of, but this was just—
Way too ridiculous, wasn't it?
Luckily, Mu Qing understood what was happening. If they'd kept driving like that, the back half of the car would've been burned to ashes in less than two minutes.
