The wasteland receded rapidly from both sides of the road. Under the lead-gray sky, you can vaguely see the tall buildings at the end of the horizon like dead trees.

It was a dilapidated urban agglomeration. Faded from the prosperity and glamour of the pre-war period, it stood helplessly on the earth, waiting for the day when it completely collapsed.

The body trembled so badly that it seemed that every part couldn't wait to jump out of this old thing that was speeding at 180 kilometers per hour. But Li Qingyan stabilized it.

"I'm not a bad person. The latter one is. He said to the girl sitting beside him amid the roar and smoke as he glanced in the rearview mirror.

Behind the classic car, a blue-gray figure was breaking through the smoke and dust raised by the car, and chased after it firmly and quickly.

The man is a runner.

The girl shrunk into the passenger seat, her hands clasped tightly on the roof armrest. The thin body was firmly pressed against the back of the chair by the tremendous speed, and his face was bloodless. She seemed to have to muster up the courage to dare to look at the inhuman "monster" in the rearview mirror, and stared at Li Qingyan who was driving after a touch.

The young and strange man found her an hour earlier and stuffed her into the car as she was about to go home. Then the two of them were tracked by the monster in the back of the car, and they ran all the way to this point - only then did she recover from the confusion and panic and settle down.

"You're a demon ......" she stared at a thin white bracelet on his right wrist that fit perfectly to his skin, "It's a felony for the demon clan to kidnap humans...... Seven years to fifteen years ......"

"I'm here to save you. Li Qingyan turned his face and looked at her seriously. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to open the storage box in front of the girl, and turned his gaze forward, "Look." ”

It was empty, just a stack of paper. The girl looked at Li Qingyan suspiciously, then at the stack of papers, and with difficulty reached out a hand and dialed it.

There are six in total. On each one of them was a sentence written in similar handwriting—

Or "find the star fruit, take her away, save her". Or "find the star fruit and save her". Or "save star fruit".

Then I saw Li Qingyan raise his hand and write the same sentence on the windshield covered with a thin layer of ash - it was exactly the same handwriting.

"It's ...... What do you mean? You wrote it?" the girl widened.

The man driving the car glanced at her and sighed, "I want to know too." Why would I use this way to remind myself to save you—but I don't remember anything. ”

The girl named star fruit didn't know what to say for a while, but her heart finally relaxed a little.

He doesn't look like he's lying. Not only because he now speaks with clear eyes and a clear expression, but also because of ...... When I first met him an hour ago, I had a good impression of him.

He wears a white shirt and black trousers, which are also worn by the farm officials. But compared to the slick and tacky people of those people, this young man named Li Qingyan seems very "clean". Even though the two of them have been driving on the smoky highway for a long time, his shirt is still white. The buttons were neatly buttoned, except for the structured neckline, where one was unfastened.

It gave him a little more peace.

But another voice interrupted the girl's memories - she heard footsteps like a dense drumbeat.

The blue-gray figure that followed the classic car all the way was getting closer and closer in the rearview mirror.

Star fruit could already see his face. The face was covered with bulging veins, like a dense blue tattoo. His mouth was wide open and he spewed out white gas, like a steam engine. The pursuer wore only a pair of shorts, and his body was covered in a fog - due to the continuous ultra-high-speed movement that caused him to sweat profusely, and the sweat quickly evaporated.

She recognizes this face!

She lives on the May Fourth Farm in the wasteland. Like thousands, tens of thousands, of other reclamation farms in the Republic, it is a medium-sized residential community that resembles a small town. Beyond the community are vast expanses of reclaimed fields, industrial land, and many more wastelands that were destroyed by atomic bombs and magic in the Great War forty years ago.

In the wastelands where the farming groups had not yet reached, a considerable number of fugitives had gathered. A few of them are humans, and more are demons. They gathered into bands and roared around the wasteland. In the vicinity of the May Fourth Farm, there is a group of demon criminal gangs that are a headache.

The last time star fruit saw them was when they were 14 years old, when they hijacked a convoy of groceries that had just arrived on the farm. At that time, one of the demon clans made a deep impression on her. The man had blue-gray skin, extremely thin eyes, and exaggerated hands...... That's the face she sees now!

"He's catching up!" Star Fruit exclaimed, "Why is he chasing us??"

"I don't know. Li Qingyan glanced in the rearview mirror, "Do you recognize him?"

"He's a fugitive! He's a demon who robbed us of our ...... three years ago."

The young man driving the car smiled: "Oh. Sure enough, it's a criminal. In that case...... Don't let him chase anymore. ”

After saying this, he took the steering wheel with his left hand and unfastened the cufflinks in his left hand with his right hand.

Untie it, pull it up layer by layer, and roll it up to your elbows, revealing a smooth and well-proportioned forearm.

While he was in no hurry to do this, the demon had already chased after the car. His legs fluttered so that only an afterimage remained, and his upper body leaned forward like a beast eager to pounce. He turned his face and stared at the girl in the car...... Grinch.

It was like a smile. But hideous and terrifying laughter. Two rows of sharp teeth shone like razors.

Star fruit felt like her blood was about to clot. Three years ago, after showing this smile, this demon clan brutally killed everyone in the convoy!

But why did you find yourself??

Is this man named Li Qingyan because he wants to save himself? and why?

The demon ran to the driver's cab, reached out in the billowing smoke, and climbed the door of Li Qingyan's side. And then he opened his mouth wide - a bite!

It's like a balloon that is catching the wind.

- The demon's body suddenly swelled and turned into a huge, shiny green wolf!!

The wolf's front paws clinged to the door, and the giant jaw bit the roof. The dagger-like fangs pierced in, and the metal in front of it was like a thick piece of paper! a suffocating stench...... A low roar louder than the roar of the car itself......

The wolf's hind paws gripped the ground with force, trying to stop the speeding car or turn it off the road!

Carambola closed her eyes in despair. She realized that the young man named Li Qingyan next to her was "saving" herself for whatever reason, no matter whether what he said was true or false...... Both of them are probably going to die in the mouth of the demon.

So she was seized by fear and neglected one thing-

The dilapidated car running wildly on the road at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour was being pulled by such a huge creature...... But he still hasn't lost his balance and is still driving steadily!
