Chapter 426: Chasing Closely
"Quick! Speed up!! The hideaway is just ahead!! β
Listening to the roar of the engine getting closer and closer behind him, Maltai also shouted loudly. They weren't running aimlessly through the wilderness, although with the help of acceleration, they could compete with off-road vehicles at full speed. However, the duration of magic is very limited.
Luckily, Maltai knew there was a hidden spot nearby. This is also a method often used by the Wild Man. After all, no one knows when their lair will be attacked. In order to avoid a situation where there are no tools available when escaping, there are always several hidden places around large gatherings to hide vehicles, food, and weapons in case something goes wrong. And as one of the top executives of the base, Maltai naturally knows where these hideouts are. Right now, there was such a hiding place near them. As long as you can get into hiding before the other party chases you, you can at least find a tool to escape!
"That's it!"
Turning around a ruined wall again, and seeing the factory gate covered by barbed wire not far in front of him, Maltai's eyes couldn't help but light up. At this moment, he didn't even bother to check if there were any other monsters or traps nearby, and rushed directly through the barbed wire and rushed into the abandoned factory, and soon, when Maltai looked up, he immediately saw a military truck quietly parked in the middle of the factory.
It's still there!!
"Everyone, get in the car now! I'll drive, Beth, you and Old Jack go to the back and top, we've only got a minute, get in the car right away! β
Shouting, Maltai rushed into the cab with an almost brisk walk, then quickly took the key from the windshield, forced himself to calm down and started the truck. At the same time, the others quickly jumped into the back of the truck, and then Maltai stepped on the accelerator without even asking if his team members were there. With the roar of the engine, the truck suddenly moved forward, whistling through the iron sheet of the factory and rushing out of the factory from the other side.
"Da !!"
Gunshots rang out, a series of sparks emerged from the hull, and the team members hiding behind the carriage also hurriedly lowered their heads, one of the men raised his hand, and with his movements, a translucent barrier emerged, enveloping the entire truck from behind.
"We must leave as soon as possible!!"
At this moment, there were already five off-road vehicles chasing after them like wolves, and with the help of dark vision, everyone could clearly see that behind the off-road vehicles, someone was aiming at them with machine guns and firing at them. If it weren't for the fact that the team had applied a magic shield when they saw that the situation was wrong, then maybe the tires of this truck would have been blown by them. But even so, the situation has not improved. On the contrary, with the lights shining, five more motorcycles sped towards from both sides. As if the wolves were driving away their prey, they gradually approached them.
βAkulaβ¦β¦β¦ Matataβ¦β¦β¦β
Beth leaned back in the carriage, staring closely at the group of cars behind her, she opened her small mouth and chanted a muffled incantation, and soon, a dark magical glow appeared on the tips of Beth's fingers, and Beth suddenly raised her right hand and pointed it in front of her eyes.
"Fossils are mud!"
With Beth's chanting, a magical light shot out of her fingertips and hit the ground behind her. The originally hard ground suddenly turned into a muddy swamp. The two off-road vehicles led by them suddenly couldn't dodge and fell into the mud puddle. The motorcycles on both sides escaped this catastrophe, and they deftly bypassed the quagmire and continued to chase closely. Immediately after, Beth and the others saw a soldier driving a motorcycle led by him raise a bazooka with one hand.........
"Not good, quick!! Stop him!! β
"Boom!!"
The rocket slammed headlong into the back of the truck with thick smoke, and the force of the impact caused the entire truck to fly and then hit the ground heavily. Thankfully, the magic shield did what it should, otherwise a single blow would have been enough to blow the entire car into a fireball. But even then, the situation with the magic shield is not much better. I saw that the broken light shield flickered a few times, and then disappeared without a trace. At the same time, through the smoke of gunfire, everyone watched as another soldier raised his bazooka.
"Hurry, hurry! Kill him!! β
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. Hurriedly raised the gun and shot at the soldier. Luckily for them, they were lucky this time, and a bullet from an unknown person hit the warrior in the forehead, killing him in the head. The soldier immediately fell backwards to the ground, and the bazooka in his hand lost its direction, and flew into the air with a "boom", passing by Maltai's truck.
"Damn, give me a little faster!!"
Maltai almost smashed the gas pedal, and if he could, he wished he could unleash an acceleration spell on the truck as well. Unfortunately, shadow magic only works on lifeforms, so he can only fight hard, as long as he can reach the junction and join up with the people sent by District 9, then they are the victors!
But this is not an easy task, and Maltai is well aware that there is still a long way to go from here to the target location. He also knew why Sector 9 would designate such a distant target location for them to gather, presumably Sector 9 was building fortifications there as fast as they could.........
"Boom, boom!!"
The continuous explosion sounded, and although the teammates behind were also fighting back, there was obviously still a gap between the two sides. After all, there are many people on the other side, and they only have a few small pistols left in addition to magic, and even magic, in order to resist the attack on the way to escape just now, basically used seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and now there is only the last soldier left in front of them, and their bullets are about to run out. In desperation, the old man among them raised his hand and released a fireball at the soldier driving the motorcycle.
"Boom!!"
The scorching flames engulfed the soldier's figure in an instant, and everyone cheered when they saw this scene. But before their cheers could fall, suddenly, a rocket burst out of the flames and rushed towards the truck.
Suddenly, another explosion sounded, and Maltai could even see the dazzling fire and scorching air currents through the rearview mirror, and seeing this scene, Maltai was immediately shocked.
It's going to be bad!!
As if to verify Malte's fears, the next moment, he felt the steering wheel in his hand start to spin in the opposite direction of his hand, and then the whole car began to spin, and then Maltai felt his body suddenly start to roll over, and the next moment, the whole truck fell to the ground with a heavy blow.
"Woo..............."
Maltai shook his head, and he staggered out of the carriage, and looked around, only to see that his people were thrown away as far as the eye could see. Perhaps they didn't expect the other party to launch a counterattack at the last moment, but fortunately, that rocket did not directly turn them into a large fireball, but lost its target and hit the tires, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
Damn it!
Maltai knocked the door of the car next to him, it was still a long way from the meeting point, and now that they had lost their transportation, how could they get there in the shortest possible time? But now was not the time to say that, Maltai shook his head, trying to force himself to pull himself together, and looked again at his colleague who had been dumped not far away.
"Are you alright? Get up if you don't die! β
"Woo..............."
"I......... Am I still alive? β
At the shouts of Maltey, everyone got up one by one, most of them were not seriously injured, only the old man was more unlucky. When he was thrown out, he hit his head right on the rock, and then ......... Of course there is no then.
And the other one who is more unlucky is .........
"Beth, how are you?"
"I'm not doing well........."
The girl smiled wryly at Malte's questioning, and her right leg was hit by the debris of the truck. It looks like there is no way to move in a short period of time.
"Captain, go first, leave me alone........."
"But ........."
If it were someone else, maybe Maltai would have given up. But Beth is a rare holder of healing powers, and even if she breaks a leg, her role in Sector 9 is still huge.
"No, we can't leave you, come on, carry her, we ..............."
ββββββοΌβ
Before Maltai could finish his sentence, suddenly, a roar sounded again, and a huge wind rose up on the ground, setting off flying sand. A dazzling light fell from the sky and shone on the people. And the people who were caught off guard immediately instinctively blocked in front of them, and then looked into the sky, and then they were stunned in place.
I saw that in the sky not far from them, a black helicopter gunship was hovering there, its cold muzzle was so ruthlessly aimed at the target below, just one blow was enough to completely destroy these enemies.
Is this the end of it?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Maltai only felt that all his strength had been lost, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything, he could only watch blankly, waiting for his end to come. And under Maltai's gaze, the Vulcan cannons on both sides of the gunship began to rotate, and the next moment, they erupted countless tongues of fire.........
"βββ!Shh
But at this moment, the cold light turned into a trajectory, quietly flashing on the surface of the helicopter, and the next moment, under the gaze of everyone, the helicopter completely disintegrated, "boom" into a fireball, and fell to the ground.
