Chapter 1245, Running Thunder

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the ground was filled with running thunder like a drum.

This dark clouds and Running Thunder together chased the SUV in front of them, and the highway that went straight to the north looked like a long black line drawn on the earth, while the end of the black line was constantly destroyed by Dusk.

Dusk’s size was so massive that when it passed by, the road surface and roadbed were as fragile as a layer of rammed earth that hadn’t been maintained for a long time.

“This monster on the ground is scary as scary as it is, but we might still have the possibility of heavy firepower to clear it out, the key is these things in the sky, what means do we have to block them?” Luo Lan looked at the rearview mirror and worried.

In the past, although the flying birds in the sky were very aggressive and had awakened an airspace consciousness, attacking all flying objects that entered the airspace, they hadn’t actively attacked humans much.

On the contrary, some people said that the falcons in some places would catch children as food, but that was all still in the normal hunting range.

But now, these flying birds became too terrifying after being controlled by the AI.

The most crucial thing was that humans didn’t seem to have any means to check them.

Machine gun strafing was fine, but the birds in the sky were far more flexible than a machine gun adjusting the angle of fire.

When the figure of a steam train appeared on the horizon, Luo Lan was internally plunged into ecstasy: “Ren Xiaosu is here, hahaha, I told you that Ren Xiaosu would definitely not let me down!”

Zhou Qi muttered, “That’s what Qing Zhen said just now, you didn’t.”

Luo Lan grinned broadly and pressed the gas to the bottom, then laughed, “It’s the same for whoever said it, but the point is, we won’t be able to die after Ren Xiaosu arrives. I’ve been on his steam train, and that window glass is bulletproof, so I don’t believe that group of birds can still break through Ren Xiaosu’s steam train.”

It seemed that Ren Xiaosu had never let Luo Lan down since the 113th Barrier Escape.

Without Ren Xiaosu, Luo Lan would have died five or six times already.

Luo Lan blasted the gas pedal to the bottom, a buzzing roar emitted from the buggy’s engine, the engine’s revolutions instantly increased, and the exhaust gases discharged entered the turbine chamber through the pipes, then instantly drove the impeller to speedily boost the pressure.

When the engine revolutions increase at the same time, the speed of exhaust gas discharge and the speed of the turbine also increase at the same time, the air pressure and density increase, instantly make the fuel inside the car fully combusted.

The black SUV was like a wild beast, speeding up again, Qing Zhen and the others all pressed tightly against the backrest, feeling the adrenaline of escaping skyrocket.

Originally, Luo Lan couldn’t drive this fast, after all, it was too fast, or they might die in the crash themselves before the beast behind them could catch up with them.

But now they didn’t have to care about all that, all they needed to do was to rendezvous with Ren Xiaosu, who would then lead them to continue their escape.

At the same time, the dusk in the rear was once again picking up speed, breaking out of the shadows shrouded in dark clouds.

The steam train from the north, the buggy and dusk from the south, were about to collide in the wilderness like the most violent clash style images.

The buggy was getting closer and closer to the steam train, and the sense of anticipation among Luo Lan and the others was getting stronger and stronger.

However, at the moment when the two sides were about to converge, Luo Lan gradually stepped on the brakes, but the steam train driven by Ren Xiaosu brushed past them.

Ren Xiaosu sat calmly with his face on top of the front of the car, and as the two cars brushed past, the intersecting vehicles kicked up a huge convective wind that lifted his shirt.

The chimney of the steam train spewed out huge black smoke behind Ren Xiaosu, who looked like a god on the front of the car.

Luo Lan and Qing Zhen were shocked as they got out of the car and turned to look to the south.

Only to see that the steam train was frantically driving towards the raging dark clouds, all the way to the south.

On the opposite side were clusters of birds that covered the sky and the terrifying twilight on the ground, and the steam train was not slowing down.

Far from it Ren Xiaosu had not only come to take care of them, but to take care of these greatest hidden dangers of the future.

“Wait, can Ren Xiaosu beat that monster?” Zhou Qi shook, “He wouldn’t want to lose his life, would he?”

Qing Zhen and Xu Concealment also furrowed their brows not knowing what they were thinking.

Only Luo Lan suddenly remembered that the Palace Guardian Lizard called wee that Ren Xiaosu had summoned in the Sorcerer’s Kingdom back then was too similar to the one chasing them behind them.

Although the wee one was a bit lighter in color, a fiery red, while this one was just brown.

However, with the same lizard-like appearance and about the same time of appearance, if one said that there was no connection between these two lizards, Luo Lan would never believe it.

Earlier Luo Lan had asked about the wee one’s origin, and Ren Xiaosu had answered truthfully.

So at that moment Luo Lan suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “You may not believe it when I say it out loud, this monster chasing us is probably Ren Xiaosu’s pet, he has another one, Zhou Qi you should have guessed it ……”

Qing Zhen and Xu Concealment looked at Luo Lan and Zhou Qi at the same time.

Zhou Qi also nodded, “Ren Xiaosu does have a pet that’s about the same size as it, however, this one might have been manipulated by the AI.”

Qing Zhen was the smartest one among the four of them, “This monster one lives in the crater of the Realm Mountain, which is the place where Fire Seed 039’s laboratory is located, and the Fire Seed calls this kind of place a place of manifestation. So, if this Palace Guard Lizard is Ren Xiaosu’s pet, then Ren Xiaosu is Lab 001.”

Otherwise, people couldn’t explain the correlation between this monster and Ren Xiaosu, and Qing had evidence that these two lizards had lived inside a hundred years ago, and some travelers had heard hissing noises from inside. Of course at that time it was still just a legend, now the legend is just confirmed.

These two lizards existed a hundred years ago, and they were Ren Xiaosu’s pets, so Ren Xiaosu was at least a hundred years old.

That experimental body that liked to wear a black robe had said to Li Yingyun: it was looking for the most perfect Experimental Body 001, that was a true god, and had probably already mixed in with the crowd.

Experiment body, this was a daunting word to hear.

However, the moment Luo Lan suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu was Experiment Body 001, he felt that this vocabulary seemed to be less frightening again.

“An experimental body is an experimental body, he should have succeeded, it’s definitely different from those gray-skinned ones,” Luo Lan said with certainty, “Qing Zhen, if he didn’t mention it himself, let’s never say anything about it to outsiders.”

“Well,” Qing Zhen agreed, “Actually, the fact that he can honestly tell you that it’s his pet already shows his identity, it’s a sign of trusting you.”

“Wait!” Zhou Qi shouted up, “Ren Xiaosu is about to collide with that lizard and the dark clouds! Should we retreat further away, in case Ren Xiaosu doesn’t fight it, it’ll be easier for us to escape!”

Luo Lan said in anger, “Have some backbone, Ren Xiaosu is here to save us, how can we run away without him?”

“The point is that there isn’t even a river here, we can’t help,” Zhou Qi roared.

“Then we can’t leave either,” Luo Lan said, “In case we can help, if we can’t, we’ll die here together.”

Just then, Ren Xiaosu stood up from the front of the car, then put his hand into the black smoke of the chimney.

In the next moment, a hand suddenly appeared in the dark clouds of birds above the firmament, and the slender index and middle fingers were holding four poker cards directly between them.

Card face 9.

Ren Xiaosu’s arm retracted and the Shadow Gate closed, but the four poker cards stayed in the air.

The spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds on top of the cards were as if a chemical reaction had been created, the suit began to glow, and then exploded with unparalleled majestic energy.

Luo Lan and the others watched from afar as a red glow suddenly appeared in the black dark clouds in the sky.

The light that was hidden in the dark clouds was like lava in the crevices of rocks, seemingly calm but extremely violent.

Before Luo Lan and the others could see clearly, they only saw that the dark cloud cracked open with a strip of 10,000 feet of light, like it was being sliced open by the light one by one, and then all the energy of the four bursting pokers erupted.

That all the bird clusters were turned into flames and ashes in just a moment.

The card face 9, was already enough to cover a radius of 800 meters, destroying all life within that range.

However, 9 was also the biggest deck Ren Xiaosu had drawn so far.

It wasn’t that he was unlucky, but he had exchanged more Thank You Coins for Proficiency Stones.

It was just like what the big lout Zhang Husheng always said: everything was for the Great Xing Northwest.

Daxing Northwest, nowadays, was a mantra.

Just as Luo Lan and Zhou Qi were in shock as they watched the fireworks explode in the air, they then saw a huge stargate suddenly open in front of the steam train.

Luo Lan muttered, “This is it! This is it!”

As soon as the words fell, the wee one in that stargate ran out wildly and slammed headlong into the oncoming Dusk.
