Oasis

The car drove along the sidewalk deeper into "hell".

An indescribable crackling sound came from under the tire from time to time, similar to Li Qing stepping on a cockroach.

But everyone knew that it wasn't a cockroach, but one of their own kind.

"Aren't we there yet?"

The crowd watched the approaching helicopter through the window, their faces grim and icy.

The air was so still it was suffocating; the distance of only two or three kilometers felt incredibly long.

And so, the helicopter drew closer and closer.

But at that moment, Li Qing suddenly frowned:

"Careful!"

"I heard a faint sound coming from the ground, it seemed to be... a person."

"Someone is moving towards us from underground, and they're moving very fast!"

"Ha?"

"Can the enemy burrow underground?"

Mista, who was driving, was at a loss: the enemy was attacking from underground, and he didn't know how to dodge.

Li Qing remained calm and promptly issued the instructions:

"Stop the car and get out immediately."

"If you fight someone in this cramped carriage, you could easily get wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Oh." Mista slammed on the brakes, looking slightly flustered, and slowed the car down. Then he glanced around at his surroundings. "No way! There's nowhere to put my feet around here if I park!"

The driver who was standing by the roadside earlier had his legs eaten away by the rapidly proliferating fungus simply because he got out of his car and lowered his height by about 20 centimeters.

In this situation, getting off the vehicle is almost a fatal violation.

However, in an effort to contain the fungal outbreak, they had previously driven their car onto the sidewalk.

The surrounding area is a public green space used for playing football. As far as the eye can see, there is a wide and flat lawn with the ground level with the sidewalk.

In other words, at this moment, this car is the highest foothold they can find.

Getting off at this location, regardless of where they settle down, inevitably leads them from a "high place" to a "low place," causing a fungal outbreak and proliferation on their skin.

"Let's keep going!"

"Getting off the bus in a place like this could kill someone."

Mista said very nervously.

"No," Li Qing shook his head. "It's too late, the enemy is only twenty meters away from us."

"So... Giorno?"

He looked to Giorno for help, Giorno immediately nodded knowingly.

"Clear."

"I will 'renovate' this battlefield."

Giorno also glanced at the appalling surroundings, and Gold Experience appeared before him:

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big wood big!"

A golden gust of wind roared out, and the phantom-like Riot Games kept slamming into the car itself.

The lifeless metal body was infused with a massive amount of life force, and it quickly expanded and deformed, radiating endless vitality.

The seats transformed into lush green branches, and the chassis became hard, gnarled tree roots.

The tree, transformed from a car, exhibited an illogical growth pattern under the control of the Gold Experience. Instead of sprouting branches upwards, it extended horizontally in all directions like liquid.

Soon

The car is gone, but a thick layer of "wooden flooring" has been laid on the ground.

Although this "wooden floor" isn't ridiculously large, it still looks as spacious as a boxing ring from a distance, enough for everyone to step on.

"I see."

"By turning cars into trees, we can artificially create a 'ring' of the same height as the original one!"

Standing on the wooden platform, everyone felt relieved.

Only Mista was slightly unhappy:

Although the important items in the car were still preserved, this car itself had a "life-or-death bond" with him, so how could it just disappear like that?

Come to think of it, ever since he met Giorno and Li Qing, not a single vehicle has survived more than an hour.

"Attention everyone!"

Li Qing's prompt interrupted Mista's resentment:

"It's already close to 10 meters away."

"Right at my two o'clock position, 8 meters, 6 meters, 4 meters."

He was like a precise human radar, able to accurately lock onto a fast-moving target even through the thick layer of soil.

The enemy's whereabouts were thus completely exposed.

Everyone summoned their own clones, eagerly preparing to meet the invading enemy.

"He's here!"

Li Qing gave a soft shout, instructing everyone to take action. "Move out!"

As soon as he finished speaking

Not far from Li Qing's feet, a strangely dressed young man suddenly emerged from the ground like a groundhog that had smelled food.

He was completely covered in a strange, tight-fitting suit similar to a diving suit, with only half of his face exposed.

What's even more amazing is that the ground around him didn't appear solid and flat; instead, it rippled like water.

This is exactly Secco.

After jumping out of the helicopter, he used his ability to "liquefy" objects to swim and slither through the soil, silently approaching Li Qing and the others.

Of course, this was only his own perception of "quietly".

The instant Sai Ke's head emerged from the liquefied earth, the Secco, whose exact location had already been pinpointed by Li Qing's reconnaissance, launched their most ferocious attack without hesitation:

"Aerosmith!"

"Sex Pistols!"

Machine gun bullets and pistol bullets clashed, weaving a dense and impenetrable net of fire.

"Ali Ali Ali Ali Ali!"

"Wood big wood big wood big wood big!"

The Steel Chain Fingers and the Gold Experience attacked from both sides, creating a storm.

"Sonically Enhanced Wave!"

"Purple Haze!"

Li Qing made a feint attack from a distance, condensing white light, while Purple Haze unleashed a powerful punch, releasing poisonous mist.

The battle had barely begun when it became incredibly intense.

"Ah?"

Secco was momentarily stunned by the grand spectacle, but quickly recovered:

Did they predict my location in advance?

"Yes. I forgot that the intelligence report mentioned that Li Qing has very good hearing."

He suddenly clenched his Riot Games. His stand-in, "Oasis," which was the bodysuit covering his entire body, secretly provided its owner with terrifying strength and speed.

Hehehehe.

"Even if we find it, it's useless!"

"This level of attack can't defeat me!"

Secco Ke chuckled strangely and suddenly swung his hands, which were soaking in the "mud," upwards.

This is just a very simple water-splashing action.

But with the added power of Secco, the "mud" he splashed out with his hands was as swift and powerful as a bullet fired from a gun.

They quickly moved away from Secco's body, changing from a "liquid" state back to a solid state.

Thus, the "mud" that was splashed out transformed into incredibly fast and solid clods of earth, gravel, and wood chips.

In short.

Secco just the simple action of splashing water, Sai Ke artificially created two dense and powerful "rains" of gravel.

A shard of gravel met the bullets fired by Aerosmith and Sex Pistols head-on, colliding with them in mid-air and creating a dazzling shower of sparks.

Another piece of gravel, carrying a strong gust of wind, slammed head-on into the poisonous mist fist unleashed by Purple Haze.

The strong wind dispersed the poisonous fog, while the powerful pebbles became deeply embedded in Purple Haze's Riot Games, arms, and chest, leaving a hideous and terrifying blood hole in Fugo's body.

In just a moment, the attacks from both sides were neutralized.

At that moment, Steel Chain Fingers and Gold Experience's Riot Games were about to strike Secco's face.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"A close-range power-type Stand?"

"Compared to me, your strength is far inferior!"

Secco laughed maniacally and fearlessly threw a punch, simultaneously exchanging blows with Steel Chain Fingers and Gold Experience.

Although he was fighting two opponents at once, he did not show any weakness.

The muffled thuds of the colliding fists echoed like dense thunderclouds, creating an astonishing sound.

Just a moment later.

Secco that he could only hold out against so many people for a while, Sai Ke turned around and plunged headfirst into the liquefied ground, disappearing into the thick layer of soil, just like a slippery eel.

"This guy"

"Such strength, such speed!"

Looking at Secco unscathed after being ambushed, everyone's expressions turned grim.

Especially Li Qing.

His Sonically Enhanced Wave had successfully hit Secco, but he didn't dare use the Echoes Act:

"Any random person can deal more damage with a basic attack than with my skills."

Li Qing couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"What the hell?!"
