Chapter 15: The Speed of Life and Death

"It's half past eleven," Green Snake said as he looked in the direction of the trunk of the pickup truck through the rearview mirror, "It's too late to go." ”

The white tiger tightened his grip on the steering wheel and watched the situation outside.

Their pickup truck was parked in a corner next to the port of non-return and turned off to avoid attracting attention.

After the green snake asked for a while, Hong Yuesheng's reply came from behind: "If it takes another ten minutes, the people haven't arrived yet, so you can go by yourself." ”

"But...... The boss has specially instructed you to take you to the Imperial Park ruins no matter what......"

"I'll catch up...... But in case I don't end up there, bring me a message. β€œ

"What message?"

"Tell Nakaku that I am grateful to him and that he treats me like a "person". ”

As he spoke, suddenly there was a shrill sound of the car rubbing the ground when it turned sharply from the corner of the street in the distance, and the green snake and the white tiger hurriedly looked out of the car window, and a motorcycle came from the corner of the street at a gallop, heading towards the port of no return. On the motorcycle is the phoenix butterfly and the spirit child! Immediately afterwards, he was followed by two motorcycles and a military jeep, all of whom were members of the armed guerrillas of the Renaissance Society.

"Start the car!" The green snake screamed.

The white tiger immediately hit the pickup truck and rushed out of the street corner.

When she saw the pickup from afar, she shouted, "Run!" ”

She did not slow down, and rushed straight across the port of no return on the highway, while the white tiger drifted sideways to the middle of the road and broke off the butterfly. The two motorcycles that were quickly trailing behind did not have time to turn or brake, and slammed into the side of the pickup truck, and the two drivers flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

The white tiger stupidly stretched out his hand and made a V victory gesture to the ** guerrilla who fell to the ground. He was born in his hometown in the Northeast, and in that cold and fierce place, he grew up driving and watching the wind for adults who went to fight in groups, and now he has a sense of intimacy back to his hometown.

"Don't go yet! Also play! The green snake saw that the jeep chasing soldiers behind him had arrived, and hurriedly urged the white tiger.

The white tiger turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, and the pickup truck swung its tail to shake off the two motorcycles that hit the side, and the exhaust pipe roared like a dragon and sprayed exhaust, and followed the direction of the phoenix butterfly.

In the jeep, there was a prince in the car, the bear was driving, and in the back seat was still lying Kiki, who had just woken up from a coma, and the young guerrillas who had been fooled by the butterfly in the room were putting a wet towel on the back of Kiki's head, and Kiki was moaning "mmmmmmmmmm

The prince had always been merciful to Feng Die's subordinates before, but when he saw this gray pickup that had escaped from under his nose before, he felt teased again in his heart, and he was furious: "Shoot!" Kill the pickup truck in front of me! ”

The pursuers immediately poked out the window and opened fire, and many bullets hit the pickup, including bullets through the rear window and directly shattered the rearview mirror.

The green snake and the white tiger hurriedly bowed their heads,

"Woo wow wow wow wow!"

The green snake still covered his head with his hands and screamed, and the broken rearview mirror residue fell on him.

"Lift me up!" Hong Yuesheng's voice came from behind.

Green Snake hurriedly pressed the button on the dashboard.

The trunk of the pickup truck was opened, and the prince who was following the pickup truck did not understand what was going on, and an antique oriental armor stood up in the trunk of the pickup truck, and the upper body sat up in the car facing rear.

As the original prototype of the urban security mecha, the body size is much smaller than the current "mechanical heart" troop mecha, more like a full-body covered exoskeleton, and in order to be more psychologically accepted by the aborigines of the mirage, the mecha adopts the large armor design of the ancient Yaning Dynasty: there is a chest armor in the front, and there is a beautifully carved beast head on it, called "lion bite". The metal Shura face under the steel helmet on his head rose, and under the mask was Hong Yuesheng's face.

"Hoo! Month! Sheng!! The jeep where the prince was was facing the back of the pickup truck, and when he saw Hong Yuesheng again, the prince roared.

Hong Yuesheng did not answer, but manipulated the mecha to raise his right hand and uncover the thick canvas covering his legs in front, and under the canvas was the M134 7.62mm ammunition rapid-fire machine gun "Vulcan", which is usually used on airplanes.

He looked at the prince, opened his mouth and said a few words silently, and at the same time pulled the trigger of the "Vulcan". The gun was as its name suggested, tongues of fire poured out of the muzzle of the machine gun, and the M61 armor-piercing shells "burst!" at a rate of six thousand rounds per minute. Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly! "Shoot out.

"Get out of the way!" The prince hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the steering wheel of the driver next to him, fortunately he reacted quickly, and the prince's car flashed to the side, and as a result, the armor-piercing bullet directly penetrated the jeep that followed the prince, and the destroyed car disintegrated in the flames and rolled backwards, and several chasing cars next to him dodged left and right in time.

Hong Yuesheng turned the direction of the motor gun and continued to strafe left and right, and the Vulcan motor made a huge rumbling sound, and the bullet casings and popcorn popped out. In an instant, two more chasers were hit, one overturned, and the other crashed into the barrier on the side of the street.

The other chasers also fired, and the bullets hit the mechs and pickups, and the white flashes were frequently fired.

The pickup truck caught up with Feng Die's motorcycle, and while covering for Feng Die, Hong Yuesheng turned her head and shouted at Feng Die: "Sister Feng Die, go to Imperial Park!" ”

When Lingzi saw Hong Yuesheng, he shouted happily: "Brother! ”

Feng Die looked at the heavily armed Hong Yuesheng and nodded. The moment she turned her head, she was still thinking, is this still the little boy who waits for her in front of the door every day, listening to her play the piano? It seemed like in just one day, he had matured a lot.

From above, six military jeeps chase a pickup truck and motorcycles on a rampage through the Old Town, blazing along the road. As another revival car was wrecked and turned into a large fireball to exit the prince's convoy, the bear looked at the prince.

"Go ahead, get that stinky boy's head back!"

The bear got permission, so he opened the sunroof above his head, leaned out, and the prince reached out to grab the steering wheel, and after the bear leaned out of the car, the prince's body also moved to the driver's seat.

The bear stood on the roof of the car and shouted, "Yakshas, the zoo is open!! ”

Hearing the order, there were members in the two remaining cars who either opened the city gate or leaned out of the sunroof in the car.

"The Glory of Yaning!!!" They screamed, injecting the potion in their hands into the heart of their left chest, accompanied by the sound of gurgling bones growing, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already ice blue pupils.

Despite the bear's injuries, he was still obligated to turn into a yaksha, his swollen body shattering the plaster cast on his arm.

A car closest to the pickup truck carrying a yaksha had taken the lead in rushing towards Hong Yuesheng, but was hit by Hong Yuesheng's "Vulcan" in mid-air and fell down.

The prince stepped on the accelerator, the military jeep hit the rear of the pickup truck directly, Hong Yuesheng's mecha stumbled forward, the bear and the yaksha of the other car took the opportunity to pounce on the pickup truck at the same time, the bear directly scuffled with the mecha controlled by Hong Yuesheng, and the other crawled along the bottom of the car to the driver's seat in front. Unable to use the Vulcan machine gun at close range, Hong Yuesheng swung the Vulcan and slammed the bear into the upper body and face, but the price of his prototype's petite size was that it lacked strength to inflict a heavy blow on the bear. The bear finally seized an opportunity to pounce on Hong Yuesheng's face, and Hong Yuesheng raised his machine gun and pressed the body of the gun against the bear's bloody mouth. His mecha, because it was too old, so the lower body was unusable, which gave the bear a great advantage, and soon crushed the hydraulic shaft on the waist of Hong Yuesheng's mecha, and pressed down Hong Yuesheng's upper body lying on the roof in front of the pickup. The bear took advantage of the victory to pursue, roared "whoop", raised his huge right arm, and slammed it down, but fortunately Hong Yuesheng dodged to the side in time, and the bear's right fist directly penetrated the roof of the car and entered the driver's seat, just hanging between the green snake and the white tiger.

The frightened green snake "Woo wow! He yelled, grabbed the pistol from his hand, and looked up, but he didn't know whether it was friend or foe in the scuffle.

Before the green snake came to his senses, the bear's left fist pulled back and hit it down, and it was flashed by Hong Yuesheng several times in a row, but the roof of the pickup truck was already full of holes, but the green snake didn't have a chance to shoot a shot.

A wave of unevenness rose again and again, and the Yasha who had just climbed to the bottom of the car suddenly jumped up from the window on the left side of the car, grabbed the shoulder of the white tiger is a mouthful, and suddenly the white tiger's shoulder blood overflowed, and he screamed in pain.

The green snake hurriedly aimed the muzzle of the gun at the head of the side Yaksha, and shot several times in succession, although he blinded Yaksha in one eye and injured his left arm, but their monster heads were extremely hard, and they could still hold on to the car door with their right hand.

The phoenix butterfly in front looked back and saw the situation in the car, slammed down the brakes, the motorcycle slowed down instantly, and the rear wheel just hit the yaksha outside the door of the pickup truck, and the rotating wheels rubbed against the yaksha's chest like a blunt chainsaw, when the phoenix butterfly turned sideways, Lingzi also stretched out his claws and scratched and scratched at the yaksha's face, and the bloody yaksha finally broke away from the car with the left door that he clung to, and threw it behind the pickup.

"This is the only time for children not to learn to abuse violence." Feng Die gently put her finger to her lips to educate Lingzi.

Reiko shrank his head, "Oh." ”

"Ahead!"

Hearing the warning of the white tiger, Feng Butterfly quickly turned her head to look ahead, they had already driven into the only intersection in the old city where six roads converged, and from several other roads, nearly ten more motorcycle soldiers of the Revival Society rushed over.

"Give me a gun!" Butterfly adjusts the speed of the car to a side-by-side pickup.

The white tiger looked at the green snake, and the green snake hurriedly grabbed a shotgun next to the seat and threw it to the phoenix.

Feng Die pressed the head of the Lingzi in front of him, "You catch it!" ”

Then he looked up and shot at the front wheel of the motorcycle that rushed forward, the shotgun bullet was huge, and the motorcycle immediately burst the tire, overturned in the air and smashed it on its back to the phoenix butterfly, the phoenix butterfly was attached to the motorcycle body, just to protect the spirit child, obliquely sideways the fuselage, barely avoiding the people and the wreckage of the locomotive.

At this time, another motorcycle soared into the air with the help of a high platform, and Shengsheng hit the front hood of the pickup truck head-on, and the motorcycle wheels completely smashed the front window of the pickup truck into the shape of broken ice. The motorcyclist drew his submachine gun and opened fire into the car.

"Bang!"

Instead, the motorcyclist fell, and it turned out that the green snake was the first to shoot him, and the rider fell off the pickup truck with his motorcycle, and was run over by the pickup truck "clucking".

The white tiger tore the left sleeve with his teeth to stop the bleeding, and the green snake smashed the front window of the car with the butt of the gun, and just saw a jeep approaching from the only remaining right rear mirror.

On the roof of the car, seeing that Hong Yuesheng was about to be crushed by the brute force of the yakshat-like bear, just as Hong Yuesheng tried his best to resist the bear's sharp teeth, an ice-blue light appeared in his eyes again.

It was not just the ice-blue light of ordinary "cripples" or even Yakshas, Hong Yuesheng's eyes were full of dementoring flashes, as if the light emitted by a star of tens of millions of light years finally shone in the starry sky after a long voyage, a light full of the shocking power of the ruler......

Seeing Hong Yuesheng's eyes, the bear was suddenly frightened, and the instinct of the creature told him to surrender to the strong, but how could this be? He's just a little mouse that escaped by chance......

At this time, the white tiger manipulated the pickup truck to drive a low bridge hole in front of him, and when he entered it, the lower edge of the arch bridge happened to hit the bear that pounced on Hong Yuesheng, and knocked the bear off the top of the pickup, and almost fell into the prince's car that was chasing after him.

The prince swung the front of the car tightly, dodging the falling bear and letting him fall to the ground.

"Rubbish!" The prince cursed at his incompetent men and continued to chase the pickup.

As he passed through the dark hole in the wall, Hong Yuesheng's eyes gradually returned to normal, and at this time, he did not realize the changes that were gradually taking place in his body during this day.

"There's a barricade ahead!"

Hearing the scream of the green snake in front of him, Hong Yuesheng was called back to reality, he manipulated the mecha to turn his head, and saw a barricade laid by the Revival Society not far away.

"Sister Fengdie! Come to the back! Hong Yuesheng shouted as she re-mounted the machine gun and aimed it at the front of the car.

Feng Die slowed down slightly, drove the motorcycle to the back of the pickup, Hong Yuesheng had already manipulated the mecha to turn forward at the same time, all the fire shot at the barricade, and suddenly the barricade was hit by the debris flying sideways, and then the pickup truck hit it, under the feast of fire and smoke, rushed over the barricade. Using a pickup as a shield, the phoenix butterfly covered Lingzi's head and walked through the sea of fire.

After passing here, you will find the ruins of the Imperial Park.

As the name suggests, the Imperial Park is a park established in the past to commemorate the Yaning Empire, the emperor Yaning I, who went from being a small county lord of Brahma, a small country in the Yaning region, to unifying the entire Yaning continent and becoming the emperor of the entire Yaning Empire.

After the founding of the state, he did not burn out from the successes of the past.

"A man must press forward until he is exhausted."

He followed by his famous maxim by example, and during his reign, Yaning I promoted the reform of church and state, encouraged the separation of church and state, advocated the unification of Buddhist branches, and promoted unity within the country. Carry out Westernization reforms, and start a self-improvement movement to learn from the powerful country Meda Busoya, so as to achieve a rich country and a strong army. In just eight years, the Yaning Empire strengthened national cohesion, weakened the previous war of continental unification, and improved the prestige of the Yaning Empire's government with the mirage as the capital, bringing a period of prosperity to the Yaning Continent.

His strong personality charm and legendary story make him an idol in the hearts of every old Yaning person. The people loved him, the army embraced him, and in honor of him and his story, the empire established this park. And beside the large lake in the middle of the park, a statue of Yanin I was erected, with a bronze base and gold covering.

But it was the same man who led his people into the struggle against the Republic of Medabusoya, a huge battle known in history as the Asian-American War, in which both warring sides invested huge efforts, especially the Yaning Empire. A year after the battle, Yanin I died of an unknown illness, and his hastily cultivated son was far less capable of commanding than his father. The war then took a turn for the worse, and finally ended with the defeat of the Yaning Empire and the reduction of Meda Busoya to a subordinate overseer.

Now, the glory of victory has been lost, and the sculptures in Imperial Park are no longer maintained, and the gold leaf has been stripped away, revealing the filthy bronze within. The bright sapphires in both eyes have been dug out, leaving only the sockets of the black holes. The ruby on the hilt of the sword, redder than rose, had long since been stolen, leaving only the color of the yellow-white droppings that had fallen from the pigeons in the lost summer.

Even if you were once an emperor, you can't avoid falling into the cycle of the worldβ€”when you stand in the spotlight and wear shining gems, you will be respected and loved; When he lost everything, people left him.

When the pickup truck and the butterfly's motorcycle broke through the siege, shook off the pursuers, and arrived at the statue by the Great Lake in Imperial Park, it was empty.

"Zhongjiu, what about Zhongjiu?" Hong Yuesheng, who was behind the pickup, looked around, his mecha was already broken, and now he ran out of bullets.

Feng Die wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand, and Lingzi also looked at her brother curiously, not knowing what she was waiting for. The white tiger had turned pale from massive blood loss.

"Second master...... Green Snake looked at the clock on the dashboard in front of him, "It's ...... It's already a quarter past twelve. ”

Nakahisa had promised them that if they found help, they would wait until twelve o'clock in Imperial Park before leaving them behind.

"Ah!!!!!!h

Hong Yuesheng, who has always been silent, felt complete despair for the first time, and shouted hysterically in the sky.

The revival society's military jeeps, motorcycles, and military vehicles with machine guns had already surrounded the big lake where they were from all sides, slowly narrowing the encirclement.

The prince's car had also arrived, and Kiki behind him had already woken up at this time, covering the back of her head with a towel, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth when she saw that the opponent was at the end of the road.
