The body that the hunter had just controlled immediately turned into a raging fireball. Weird flames flooded out of his internal organs and even his cells. Even the pouring rain could not put them out at all.
He shrieked like an alien monster in the middle of the furious flames. His entire body was like a piece of elastic rubber that was suddenly elongated, suddenly grew horizontally, and suddenly expanded into a ball. In the end, it exploded, and the black object that looked like both smoke and fire crawled out again like a viper in the void, looking for a new 'carrier'.
Li Yao intended to blow out a second cluster of fire and burn the hunter's soul into nothingness, but excruciating pain came from the depths of his brain, as if every single one of his brain cells had been ripped apart. The pain was so excruciating that he could barely stand and almost fall off the truck. He could only lie on the ground, breathing heavily.
It was obvious that he could not control the power of fire inside his body well yet because he had just been awakened. He was already on the verge of running out of energy. If he activated the techniques by force, chances were that the mitochondria factories inside his cells would all go out of control, and he would be burnt into ashes by the spontaneous combustion of the human body.
Thankfully, they had backup plans.
Perhaps, they had the strongest backup plans.
"Uncle Hui!"
Li Yao shouted at the top of his voice.
"Hu!"
The window exploded, and a cluster of purple flames that seemed to be alive rushed out and hit the black mist that represented the hunter's soul. Enshrouding the black mist, the purple flames tied up another viper like a viper and even cut the 'viper' that represented the hunter into pieces. While squeaking, it fled to the carriage ahead in a hurry.
It seemed that the hunter's soul had been heavily wounded. Even if he could find a new carrier to be 'reborn', it would take a lot of time.
However, right then, a weird explosion echoed in the front of the train. A ball of lightning soared to the sky from the front of the train. Then, the train suddenly slowed down, and dazzling sparks even burst out of the wheels in the front. It seemed that the train would come to a complete halt very soon.
But this place was not a valley or an overpass but a rarely-seen flat land in the middle of a chain of mountains.
The train would pass through a small station here, so the elevated platform gradually lowered until the tracks were level with the ground.
They could vaguely see that there were dozens of headlights near the station, like the eyes of dozens of hungry wolves.
In such terrible stormy weather, the train had not planned to stop at this station. Clearly, it was not the staff or the construction vehicles at the station, but the Apocalypse Organization's ambush!
"Li Yao!"
Lady Grey Fog kicked a puppet out of the car and landed beside Li Yao and Uncle Hui like a withered leaf. "Your driving skills are not bad. Take the Phantom Cat and Daniel Zhang and leave first. The Phantom Cat's brain structure is different from that of ordinary people. Her brainwaves are extraordinarily powerful and are equivalent to a special 'antenna' and 'server'. As long as you bring her along, you won't lose contact with the satellite navigation system no matter how bad the weather is. This place is not far from the border, and the Phantom Cat knows where to pick you up. As long as you escape, there will be a large group of people waiting for you.
"Sparda, Uncle Hui, and I will guard this place. Don't worry!"
As Lady Grey Fog spoke, her eyes had already turned gray, and it was impossible to distinguish the pupils and the whites of her eyes. Thick gray fog gushed out of her seven orifices and even her pores, shrouding the three carriages they were in in in no time. Li Yao and his companions' senses were not too affected, but the enemies seemed to have entered a strange state where their five senses were cut off. They stretched out their hands randomly and could not tell where they were going or where they were going. If they were not careful, they would slip and fall from the moving train.
The situation was critical, and there was no time for hesitation. Li Yao took an unpackaged silver spray can from Uncle Hui and sprayed a large cluster of cold green gas on his wounds. Finally, the pain was slightly relieved. Then, he nodded at Lady Grey Fog and the other two and jumped into the carriage like a bat.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
BAM! BAM! BAM! The sound of fierce fighting and explosions came from the roof of the train from time to time. The entire roof of the train was in fact riddled with holes. The storm poured in without restraint, turning the carriage into an aquarium.
Fortunately, the Ark Foundation had helped Daniel Zhang get an engineering computer with an extremely high triple-defense index. Therefore, he was not afraid that it would be damaged in such a harsh environment. However, with so many people fighting on the roof, Daniel Zhang obviously could not continue writing. Instead, he screamed and crawled into the Phantom Cat's arms, trying to bury his head deep into it.
"Let's go!"
Li Yao kicked the guy's butt hard and pulled open the partition between the two carriages. In front of them was a shiny black off-road vehicle. It was as wide as two ordinary cars, and its domineering tires looked as if they had teeth all over them. Even though it was not started, it still gave people a sense of power.
Li Yao checked the quick disengaging device that Lady Grey Fog had set up for the off-road vehicle. He jumped into the car and started the engine. The roar of a lion's roar penetrated his eardrums all the way to his heart and lungs, opening up every cell in his body. It gave him a sense of confidence that even if there was a violent mudslide in front of him, he could still charge straight through it.
The Phantom Cat pushed Daniel Zhang into the car and slammed the door shut.
"Are you ready?"
Li Yao did not even turn his head. "Today's situation is urgent. We might have to drive a little faster."
"What —"
Daniel Zhang's face turned from pale to pale, and from pale to pale again. It was as if a cabbage had been slapped in his face.
Before he could react, Li Yao had already put the car in gear and stepped on the accelerator.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
His blood seemed to have turned into fuel and filled every gap of the off-road vehicle. The iron beast was enshrouded by his soaring fighting will and was about to be set ablaze in the middle of the stormy sky and the thunderstorm!
The front of the car was already aimed at the side door of the train. The moment he started the engine, the door slowly slid open.
But they had not entered the station yet. Not only was the train still moving at dozens of kilometers per hour, there was also a gap of three to five meters between them and the ground.
Of course, if they really waited until they reached the station, it would be too late. Iron Nail would be surrounded by the enemy and completely locked down.
Li Yao let out a beast-like roar. The four wheels of the off-road vehicle turned into wheels of wind and fire that were wreathed in white smoke, almost leaving four transparent holes on the bottom of the train. When the strength was accumulated to the limit and the speed of the train was further reduced, the seal that bound the off-road vehicle was finally torn into pieces. The steel ferocious beast accelerated to the limit in just 0.1 seconds and soared into the air as if it had wings, flying out of the moving train.
At that moment, time seemed to have frozen.
Only Daniel Zhang's howl, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered, was as long as ever.
The off-road vehicle drew a perfect arc in the wind, rain, and lightning. It crossed dozens of meters and hit the muddy ground heavily.
The ground that was soaked and softened by the rain formed an excellent buffer. Even so, the tires, chassis, and shock absorbers still groaned and were about to roll over due to inertia. Li Yao did not even blink. After a series of lightning-fast operations, the off-road vehicle ran on the two tires on the right side for a long distance before it was righted again.
The dozens of headlights that surrounded the train station behind him moved. Like hungry wolves, they changed their ambush tactics and took the initiative to pounce on their prey.
"Tell me the terrain nearby and the weather and disaster situation!"
Li Yao looked into the distance, trying to find a road that was parallel to the railway or a slightly flatter terrain in the mountains. But unsurprisingly, he failed. Calculating the time, it should be noon, but the world that was filled with rain was as dark as midnight. The raindrops that hit the window could not even be described as' raindrops'. They were completely 'raindrops' the size of hailstones.
The visibility was no more than fifty meters. How could they find a road? Even if they found a road, it might be blocked by floods or blocked by cars.
Fortunately, they still had the Phantom Cat, a 'human satellite navigation system' that would not malfunction in most situations.
"We're here now, near this station called 'Spirit Creek'."
The ghostcat crawled to the front row with a weird-looking computer in its arms. Despite its pale face caused by the bumps, it pointed out the satellite map to Li Yao and said, "The nearest highway to us is this one — National Highway 370. But part of the highway was blocked by the flood two hours ago. Even with our off-road performance, we can't pass through it. But here, here, and here, there are all major roads that are prone to mudslides. Chances are that they've already been blocked!"
"Got it. We seem to be trapped in a small basin in the mountains, and the main roads in and out of the basin are all blocked, right?"
Li Yao was racing at high speed, fighting against the muddy ground as he looked at the map provided by the Phantom Cat. Suddenly, he found a dotted line. "What is this road? It seems to be able to rush out from here."
"This …"
The spirit cat took a closer look and said, "It seems to be a village road that has been abandoned for many years. A few decades ago, it was the only way to enter and exit this area. However, because it was built next to the largest river in the area, the Spirit Stream, and it was built against the mountainous terrain, it had many twists and turns and was very dangerous. There were many accidents, and countless vehicles fell directly into the Spirit Stream from the village road. Since the national highway and highway were built, it was abandoned. Now that it has fallen into disrepair, the heavy rain will definitely cause the water level of the Spirit Stream to skyrocket, and mudslides can rush down the river at any time.
"Twists and turns … right?"
