"Watch your left!"
"Watch your right!"
"Demon Beasts ahead! Change lanes!"
Sitting in the passenger seat as Luo'er's second pair of eyes, Chu Tiannan naturally kept warning her about the road conditions around them.
Luo'er, meanwhile, had turned into a seasoned driver, weaving calmly through the Demon Beast hordes.
Things had certainly gotten lively now. An off-road vehicle hurtled down the highway ahead.
Behind it, all sorts of Demon Beasts pursued them in a frenzy, intent on surrounding and killing them. It was no longer just the herd of Iron-Horned Rhinoceroses.
Hordes of cat demons, packs of hyenas-even sloth-shaped Demon Beasts were doggedly crawling forward.
For a time, the scene was quite spectacular.
"Holy shit, which team is that? They actually dared to draw in so many Demon Beasts?" On a rise in the wilderness, several figures watched the spectacular scene on the highway through binoculars and exclaimed in astonishment.
"Could it be a Martial Grandmaster Level team? Are they planning to wipe out all these Demon Beasts in one go?" A lean man holding binoculars was equally stunned.
"There are over a hundred Demon Beasts there, and nearly half of them are Beast General Level."
"Man, they're really going big. We can't afford to get involved in a fight like that. All we can do is watch." Another burly figure also held binoculars, watching as though it were a blockbuster movie, and couldn't help sighing.
"There's no distress signal on the detector. They're obviously drawing them in deliberately. Let's go. Even if we wanted a share of a fight like that, we don't have the strength. Going there would mean death!"
How could this team of Martial Artists have known that the off-road vehicle on the highway was actually fleeing for its life?
"This is so annoying! The smart wristband broke, and we can't even send a distress signal!"
Luo'er's delicate brows were tightly furrowed. If not for her excellent upbringing, she would nearly have sworn.
"It's fine. Before it broke, I saw that South China Base City wasn't far from here. I'm sure we can get there today!" Chu Tiannan's memory was astonishing. Even without seeing the map, he still knew the route.
"I know, but we have an urgent problem!" Luo'er kept turning the steering wheel. "The car's almost out of gas!"
Chu Tiannan's expression froze at her words. This was a very awkward problem.
The off-road vehicle sped off the highway and crossed the hillside beside it, seemingly taking a shortcut.
"Look, the base city!"
Although the car was almost out of gas, Chu Tiannan cried out in delighted surprise when he saw the colossal city in the distance.
Far away from the two of them, an enormous city sat like a sleeping behemoth.
Its massive walls could block the charges of any huge Demon Beast. Along the walls stood one mechanical weapon after another, gleaming coldly.
They immediately gave the enormous base city a sense of security.
"Hold on tight!" Luo'er lightly clenched her teeth and pushed the vehicle to full power.
The flat, open terrain naturally made driving easier, and the base city drew closer and closer.
Eight kilometers left, three kilometers, one kilometer...
"Great, we're saved!" Seeing the base city so close at hand filled Luo'er's heart with joy.
The wild, hair-raising drive had left her somewhat exhausted, both physically and mentally.
After all, she was only seventeen!
Chu Tiannan could also let out a long breath. Now that he had reached humanity's safest haven, a base city, he would finally no longer have to live in constant fear as he had before.
"We're sa-" Before Chu Tiannan could finish, a sudden wave of dizziness swept through his head.
A burst of pain followed!
Thud!
At that instant, the off-road vehicle seemed to take an enormous impact and flipped onto its side without the slightest chance of resisting.
The vehicle rolled several times through the air before finally slamming into the ground, scraping out a heart-stoppingly long trail.
Danger! Host, escape immediately!
Inside the off-road vehicle, Chu Tiannan felt his head spinning as the system notification sounded.
After all, Chu Tiannan's soul strength was extremely high. After a brief spell of dizziness, he instantly regained clarity.
Ignoring his broken ribs entirely, he quickly crawled out of the vehicle, pulled the injured girl in yellow out, and asked anxiously,
"Luo'er, are you all right?"
A trickle of blood ran down Luo'er's forehead, and she was barely conscious.
Her combat strength was nearly zero.
"Don't worry about me. I can't walk!" Luo'er's voice was weak. Clearly, she was badly injured.
Knowing she was certain to die, she used what little strength she had left to push Chu Tiannan away.
"Run! Otherwise, we'll both die here!"
"Hang in there!" Enduring the pain in his abdomen, Chu Tiannan hoisted her straight onto his back. Time was life, and he would not allow even a moment to be wasted.
He was racing against death itself now!
"Put me down. You won't get far carrying me." Feeling his not particularly broad shoulders beneath her, Luo'er still struggled weakly.
She didn't want to drag her companion down with her.
"Shut the fuck up!" At Chu Tiannan's sharp rebuke, the girl on his back grew considerably more obedient.
Seeing that she had stopped struggling, Chu Tiannan used his belt to bind them tightly together and continued on.
Chu Tiannan would never abandon a companion, even if it killed him!
Roar!
At the same time, the enormous creature that had overturned the off-road vehicle let out a thunderous roar.
A trace of excitement flashed in its eyes as it regarded them like prey.
Hearing it, Chu Tiannan couldn't help looking back, and his pupils abruptly contracted!
