The area below the fighting stage was a sealed elevator platform. Even further below was the cargo passageway. The Greatmaw Basilisk had been transported here through this passageway before being lifted into the fighting arena.
The elevator platform had already started moving at this time. It moved down at a very fast speed.
Rui Wen landed steadily on the ground. Her slender yet sturdy body immediately exerted strength to launch an attack against Jack, who hadn't yet stabilized his footing.
She was more confident than ever that she could kill this callous Adjudicator head on.
But then a short beep rang out from an unknown place. Rui Wen's eyes suddenly widened as a powerful electric current exploded from a certain location within her chest. It instantly bombarded her internal organs and spread to her four limbs and head.
The electric current passed through her nervous system and stimulated her muscles, instantly sending Rui Wen into a rigid state. Her body instantly lost balance and she fell straight toward Jack.
"Baby, let's go home." Jack didn't feel the slightest bit surprised. He extended his hand and scooped Rui Wen up. But soon his brows furrowed as a sharp chill pierced into his skin. Even his internal organs felt a bit cold.
Rui Wen's awakened ability still existed even though she had suffered an unexpected heavy injury. The skin and flesh below Jack's ribs shriveled and fell off in an instant, revealing half of his sternum constructed from alloy plates.
Jack only furrowed his brows in response to this.
Another pulse exploded from the depths of Rui Wen's brain in the next moment. This time, it truly erased all of her ability to counterattack and erased her consciousness.
"Holy crap!"
Crag Burst was only a second late, but he could only watch helplessly as Rui Wen fell into the enemy's hands. He struck out with a fist under his great fury. The sealed elevator platform rumbled and the surface of the platform shook.
How could he have known that Jack's face was expressionless? He grabbed the unconscious Rui Wen's legs and swept her over, startling Crag Burst into a rush of strength. The upper portion of the cargo passageway was already exposed on one side of the elevator platform. Jack didn't wait for Rui Wen to land. He already grabbed Rui Wen and jumped down.
Crag Burst didn't even think as he chased after them. But just as he entered the passageway, he saw Jack raise his handgun.
Jack pulled the trigger and a rumble exploded within the half-sealed passageway. Unexpectedly, this was a sonic bomb. Crag Burst let out a muffled groan as the strengthened sound wave shook his brain. His feet were in a mess, and signs of a concussion had already appeared.
Jack wasn't troubled by this. The special structure of his brain allowed him to quickly adjust. But he didn't linger and just ran wildly through the passageway while holding Rui Wen.
Luo Nan asked, "Are you okay?"
Crag Burst didn't utter a word. He crawled up and chased after him. At first, it was a little shaky, but then it returned to normal.
The freight channel could carry containers, so it was very spacious. Usually, it also carried some shady goods.
At the end of the passageway, there were garages on both sides. A group of gangsters in the passageway were oblivious to what had happened in the combat arena. They were gathered together, laughing and playing a large-scale AR game.
The female protagonist in the game was almost broken by them. The tunnel was filled with moans and yells.
Some people felt that this was not enough and began to call the real person.
However, this freight channel was still relatively remote, so the other party needed to send out a car to pick it up. The caller could only get up while cursing. He was ready to pick a car from the garage and return quickly.
However, before he could even stand up straight, the metal doors of the six garages on both sides of the passageway opened at the same time.
Identity checks, passwords, and other safety measures were all skipped. The lights of the four wheeled heavy trucks in the garage lit up one after another. The glaring krypton gas lamps illuminated the group of people in the middle of the passageway in a daze. They were immediately blinded.
Then the rumbling sounds of the vehicles starting up rang out. The group of semi-blind people were all qualified old drivers. They were scared out of their wits when they heard the change in the sound of the engines.
"The AI is out of control! Run!"
It was unknown who shouted, but they didn't care about the consequences. They turned around and ran. They had no choice but to run. They were right in the middle of the passageway when the four heavy trucks drove out. A single mishap and they would be crushed to death.
The unmanned heavy trucks started up practically at the same time. Some were fast, and some were slow. They utilized the space in the passageway to the greatest limit. They used the most efficient method to drive out of the garage in the shortest amount of time. They lined up in two rows and sped out.
They didn't care about any obstacles they encountered during this process.
The group of people ran towards the back of the passageway. Aside from two unlucky fellows who were scraped by the corners of the vehicles, they were more scared than hurt.
But the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard at this time. Their dusky and blurred vision gradually became clear. They saw a person who shouldn't have appeared here:
"Jack... Mr. Jack."
Jack ignored their existence. He carried a person under his ribs and ran with large strides. His speed was truly fast. He caught up to the four accelerating heavy trucks in the blink of an eye. He chose the one at the very front and jumped onto the roof of the truck while carrying the person.
That kind of inhuman jumping ability made the group of people dumbfounded.
"F * ck off."
Crag Burst swept past like a tempest. He saw Jack's movements from afar and wanted to catch up. But when he tried to pass through the two heavy trucks behind him, the two unmanned trucks moved inwards at the same time. They wanted to squeeze him to death.
Crag Burst cursed loudly. He also displayed his inhuman jumping ability and jumped onto the roof of the four meter tall truck. But before he could steady himself, the heavy truck under his feet came to a sudden stop. The powerful inertia threw him to the front of the truck.
The other truck that had been driving side by side suddenly turned horizontally and rammed towards Crag Burst.
In the end, Crag Burst didn't excel in agility. He was hit head-on in midair with a bang and was forcefully swept towards the side wall of the tunnel. The heavy truck chased after him and rammed. A rumble rang out as the truck smashed into the side wall of the tunnel.
"What the hell!"
Crag Burst managed to roll in time and extricate himself from under the truck's wheels.
The two heavy trucks had been turned into two heavy weapons by Jack. Even though they didn't deal any substantial damage to Crag Burst's coarse skin and thick flesh, they seriously hindered Crag Burst's pursuit.
By the time Crag Burst got up and started chasing, he could only see the taillights of the two heavy trucks ahead.
Crag Burst's face was ashen. He gritted his teeth and continued to run madly. But the two heavy trucks ahead had already driven out of the tunnel at this time. Looking at the headlights, one was driving left and one was driving right.
Crag Burst's scalp went numb. He didn't have the time to look at Jack's movements just now. God knows which truck Jack took Rui Wen and ran away in?
"Scout!"
Just as the call came out from the Psychic Wave Network, the sound of flapping wings could be heard above his head. Ink, who had run off to god knows where, streaked over his head to guide the route.
Luo Nan used the HexaEar to transmit: "It's the one on the right. It's heading out of the city. You need a means of transportation. Jack has the ability to control all information devices. You can only choose the non-intelligent model … … "
"F * ck. How can there be non-intelligent models nowadays? Bicycles? "
"The motorcycle you drove over here is pretty good. There's one here too. Make a turn. Goods yard area. 70 meters to the right. "
Crag Burst didn't hesitate at all. He madly sprinted all the way to the location Luo Nan spoke of and sent the two gangsters flying. He snatched the motorcycle and shot out like an arrow, chasing with all his might.
It was said that sharpening one's axe wouldn't delay the work of cutting firewood. Gangsters loved to modify high-powered motorcycles the most. Though they were electrically powered, they could casually reach speeds of 200 km/h on good roads.
Crag Burst still remembered the limitations of Luo Nan's spirit-attached crow. He growled: "Leave the rest to me … … Ah ah ah ah! I'll f * ck Jack's eight generations of ancestors!"
The motorcycle rumbled as it charged out of the tunnel. It drove onto the shabby road. The taillights of the heavy truck could still be seen at this time.
The head-on strong winds let out a rumble. Crag Burst used his powerful arm strength to ensure the stability of the front of the motorcycle. He directly turned the throttle to the bottom.
But at this time, an omen suddenly sprouted in his mind. Luo Nan's warning cut in at the same time: "Above … … Fuck!"
Luo Nan cursed in a rarely seen manner. The dark red tail of flames cut over his head and connected with the road ahead. A fiercely expanding fireball appeared before Crag Burst's eyes. The powerful shockwave and the terrifying raging flames instantly engulfed him.
