Chapter 6 Boxer and Stone Descendant
When he was about a hundred meters away from the town entrance, the rumbling sound behind him was like a tank passing by, which frightened him so much that he didn't dare to turn around.
Then, in his peripheral vision, he saw Optimus Prime carrying a bundle and a small leather bag rushing out of town beside him.
That "purse" belonged to the schoolgirl.
Upgrade, upgrade is a must, anyone who doesn't upgrade is a dog.
Fortunately, by the time he rushed out of the town, the eerie presence behind him was still some distance away.
After picking up the man from the iron tower and the female student, the convoy set off immediately without a second's delay.
Xu Si's electric scooter was practically wailing in pain. He turned the throttle all the way up, but the speed still wouldn't pick up, and he could only watch helplessly as the convoy ahead got further and further away.
From the direction of the town of Happiness behind us, came the sickening sounds of collapsing buildings and more eerie hissing.
Clearly, their actions had thoroughly alarmed the "residents" here.
"Faster! Faster!" Xu Si was anxious, sweat mixed with the dust he had just picked up flowed into his eyes, stinging them.
He glanced in the rearview mirror, and his heart nearly stopped—several bizarre creatures, twisted in shape and moving at incredible speed, had already rushed out of the town and were galloping along the highway, their target none other than him, who was lagging behind!
He had already stood up and was pushing off the ground with his feet as fast as he could, hoping to provide even the slightest bit more power.
Meanwhile, the bizarre flower-faced spider behind it did not give up the pursuit and even showed signs of accelerating.
"Brother Tongzi, help me!"
[Spend 100 purification points to purify your human aura, time limit: three hours]
"Yes, yes, yes," Xu Si was almost in tears.
Just as the foul-smelling claws were about to tear Xu Si's back apart, an invisible wave instantly spread out from him.
[Purification Points -100, Human Aura Purification in effect, Remaining Time: 2:59:59]
The suffocating pressure behind me suddenly eased!
Xu Si turned around in shock, only to see the strange flower-faced spiders that had been chasing him the closest suddenly stop. Their leaf-shaped pupils on their single eyes were turning around in confusion, and their long limbs were scratching the ground impatiently, making a piercing "crackling" sound.
They lost their target, as if Xu Si and his electric scooter had vanished into thin air, leaving only the lingering, abhorrent scent of their own kind in the air.
But they did not give up, still lingering nearby, their slender legs aimlessly sweeping the road.
Xu Si's heart pounded wildly. He dared not pause for a moment, stood up, and pressed the pedal almost to the bottom, turning the ignition switch to its limit, squeezing every last bit of power out of the little electric scooter.
He stared intently ahead, the taillights of the convoy now reduced to a few blurry dots on the distant horizon.
We have to keep up!
The purification effect only lasts for three hours. Once it ends, he will surely die in this wilderness if he falls behind!
……
Sweat soaked through his smelly clothes, and a cold wind brought a biting chill.
His legs trembled violently from excessive pedaling, and his muscles ached as if being torn apart.
But he dared not stop, or even slow down. At this moment, his desire to upgrade his electric scooter reached its peak, but his less than a thousand purification points were simply a drop in the ocean.
"We must keep up with the convoy..."
He glanced at the countdown in his mind: 2:15:43.
Time was ticking away, second by second.
His heart was frantically squeezing out its potential, his lungs could no longer take in a single breath of fresh air, and he seemed to be wrestling with the waves.
At that moment, he felt as if he were riding a bicycle uphill on a plateau at an altitude of 5,000 meters.
Xu Si's vision began to blur, and sweat, dust, and tears mixed together, making it almost impossible for him to see the road ahead.
All I could hear was my own heavy, bellows-like breathing, the pounding of my heart, and the groaning of my electric scooter's motor, all surrounded by a thick fog that seemed ready to swallow me whole at any moment.
With each push, the muscles in my thighs felt like they were being branded with a red-hot iron, sending waves of tearing pain through me.
He didn't know how long he had been riding, nor how far he was from the team.
Only one thought sustained him—he couldn't fall behind!
[Remaining Time: 00:03:22]
With little time left, he finally saw the familiar red light of the car taillights he had been longing for.
He finally caught up.
When the body can't take it anymore, the will will carry you out of the encirclement, but this time it was Brother Tongzi who carried him out of the encirclement.
Thank you, Brother Tongzi.
Xu Si poured the last bit of strength into his almost numb legs and rushed toward the red taillight that symbolized survival.
The convoy appeared to be taking a short break, with several vehicles forming a loose defensive circle, their headlights illuminating a small area in the center.
Xu Si's electric scooter let out a final, feeble whine as its battery completely died out, and he and the scooter crashed heavily into the dust outside the convoy.
Now he doesn't want to move a single toe.
"Heh...heh..."
He collapsed to the ground, his chest heaving violently, taking several deep, heavy breaths, even the dirt he exhaled seemed to carry the scent of life.
My throat was filled with the taste of rust, and I couldn't even move a finger.
"Is that the kid on the electric scooter?" A slightly surprised voice rang out. It was that sharp-tongued little girl who had actually come all the way from the core cycling circle to Xu Si's place.
Xu Si opened his eyes and saw that she had a Glock 17 slung around her waist, which was not common in China, especially after the apocalypse.
The cool-looking gun made him unable to look away; he had no other thoughts at the moment and really wanted to hold it in his hand and play with it.
Those who truly love guns will find it hard to resist this temptation, especially those who have never handled a gun before.
Xu Si didn't know why he suddenly thought of these things at this moment.
"abnormal"
Noticing Xu Si's gaze, the sharp-tongued loli took a step back, then kicked Xu Si again, not to be outdone.
"I've got it!" Xu Si regained some strength and sat up, leaning against the wheel behind him.
The little girl was startled, as if she remembered Xu Si's behavior the night before.
"They didn't fall behind?" Fu Xiaojian merely expressed his opinion and then stopped paying attention.
Xu Si looked around but didn't see the burly man with the iron tower or the schoolgirl.
Are you looking for Uncle Tashan? Or my aunt?
"Is that schoolgirl your aunt?"
The two looked about the same size; neither of them was very big.
"Genuine, no doubt about it!" The little girl seemed to really enjoy talking to Xu Si, and didn't hold back at all.
"They're both injured and asleep, but they should be almost fully recovered by tomorrow morning," Xu Si said in surprise.
Those female students have trouble walking, and you're telling me they'll be fine by tomorrow morning?
"My aunt's sequence is Fist Servant, and Uncle Tashan's sequence is Stoneborn, both of which are physical-oriented sequences, so their recovery is relatively fast."
Is that schoolgirl a Fighter Samurai?
It does match his image quite well, which reminds him of the high school student named Athena Asamiya from The King of Fighters.
"But judging from how useless you are, you probably haven't awakened your sequence yet, right?" The little girl didn't miss the chance to insult Xu Si, who looked like a dead dog.
As expected, she's still as sharp-tongued as ever.
Xu Si's newly changed impression was instantly reversed.
"You've awakened?"
"No"
"Then what are you so proud of?"
"Am I proud?"
If it wasn't for his lack of strength, Xu Si really wanted to try beating this crying loli to see how long she could cry.
This matter must be put on the agenda.
