Chapter 560: Inescapable

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

The spectators grew silent as the clashing sounds of metal and explosions reverberated throughout the whole area. Everyone was slack-jawed from shock.

“This…” Someone wanted to say something but found it impossible to even utter a single word.

At the same time, some teams that were way inferior to the Hyena Squad started hesitating and thought of running away.

Currently, nobody was daring enough to get close to Jiang Liushi’s tour bus. Common fame is seldom to blame. The Hyena Squad was a good example.

Chen Ting frowned as he looked around. His expression turned uglier the more he saw the hesitant teams. Initially, he had wanted to witness all parties attacking the Shi Ying Squad. Never had it crossed his mind that such a reversal could be possible. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Liushi had annihilated the Hyena Squad, shocking everyone present.

“Friends, are you going to give up now? No matter how strong his vehicle is, it has its limits. Is it really invulnerable? Together, we can stop it!” said Chen Ting loudly.

“As long as we kill Jiang Liushi, the several beauties in his tour bus will be ours to take. How can we hesitate when such a reward and loot are waiting for us?” Chen Ting’s voice instantly spread around the surrounding area, exciting many people again.

If they all attacked the tour bus, the Shi Ying Squad would undoubtedly be unable to hold on for much longer. The Hyena Squad may have not caused the expected damage on the tour bus, but they had still left marks on its exterior, which meant that it was not invincible.

After becoming aware of that fact, many people looked at the tour bus greedily. They were all interested in the beauties inside, but the tour bus was more attractive. Und=fortunately, they would have to hand it to the military, but it would still be a good experience to explore its interior.

At that moment, Jiang Liushi glanced at the group of people, which were no better than a pack of starved wolves that wanted to devour his team whole and drink their blood. Then, he made a turn and headed their way.

“Uh? What does he want to do?”

“Is he crazy? Does he want to fight against all of us?”

A mini-commotion broke out as the survivors had never expected that Jiang Liushi would take the initiative to attack them. Did he think that they were all like the Hyena Squad?

“He is too arrogant…”

“The Hyena Squad may be the most powerful amongst us, but it can’t be compared when we all fight together.”

“Let him come! We will teach him how to be a man.”

The survivors’ teams were prepared to meet the challenge. Countless guns were fired simultaneously at the tour bus, creating a dense hail of bullets. Sparks flew from the tour bus’ surface upon impact, while the windshield was rattled by the rain of bullets. Although the bullets had yet to penetrate the tough exterior, the survivors believed that it was only a matter of time before that happened. The hail of bullets was not the only thing they had prepared for the Shi Ying Squad. They also lined up all the off-road vehicles with spikes on their front, creating a shield of spikes. At the same time, they used the other vehicles to reinforce the shield of spikes from behind, making it steadier. In their mind, the faster and more powerful the tour bus was, the faster it would get destroyed.

In addition to the shield, all the powerful paranormals were positioned strategically to strike the moment the tour bus met its demise. Amongst those paranormals were formidable figures that could hunt mutant beasts on their own. As long as they could break through the tour bus’ defenses and enter, they believed that they would be the ones to annihilate the Shi Ying Squad.

“Brace yourselves! We’ve witnessed the tour bus’ defensive capabilities, so don’t be afraid of it!”

“Since they like hiding inside, let’s turn the tour bus into their grave!” shouted a survivor.

Jiang Liushi was looking at their ugly faces through the windshield mockingly. Suddenly, the seat under Jiang Liushi automatically moved. At the bottom of the driver seat were pulleys. After sliding inward, a flat metal wall was opened, revealing an internal space. It was the main control room. The moment Jiang Liushi entered the main control room, all the surrounding screens lit up, projecting a 360-degree panoramic image outside the vehicle for Jiang Liushi; every angle, every car, every face, was clearly displayed on the screen.

Presently, the tour bus was dashing toward those survivors at a frantic speed. The survivors were looking at the incoming tour bus confidently as if they were watching a naked beauty throwing herself in their open arms.

Upon seeing those people’s disgusting eyes, Jiang Liushi’s countenance turned cold and frim. Due to this damnable post-apocalyptic world’s conditions, that group of people had turned quite selfish, committing atrocious crimes and treating the weak as prey for the sake of profit. They were all looking at Jiang Liushi as if he was their sworn enemy instead of a human being, Of course, the instigator of this whole charade was the mysterious organization, but this group of people also deserved to die.

‘Starseed!’ shouted Jiang Liushi in his mind. After that, the control panel appeared. ‘Remove the camouflage and enter the MCV’s real form!’

‘Received the host’s command. Turning off the camouflage…’

The survivors were eagerly watching as the tour bus was getting closer, but that moment something astonishing happened. A transparent cocoon appeared around the tour bus, and it gradually started to change. It was like the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly. But in this case, the butterfly coming out of the disintegrating cocoon was a monstrous silver-gray fortress-like vehicle.

Everyone, including Chen Ting, was astounded by the eye-catching sight. They had never seen such a vehicle before.

“This- What is that?” exclaimed Xie Shasha in astonishment with wide-opened eyes.

It was a humongous vehicle, gleaming with a cold metallic light. One could tell how terrifying it was just by looking at it. The spectators couldn’t help but look up as the strange vehicle seemed to have blocked the sunlight from above completely.

As they did that, an ear-splitting sound came. Following that, the silver-gray vehicle’s roof started rotating, and then several black barrels appeared. In the next moment, an extremely sharp, tough and dazzling collision ram appeared on the vehicle’s front. Before the huge ram’s spikes, the spikes on the off-road vehicles resembled toothpicks.

“It- it’s not a car at all! It’s a mobile fortress!” stuttered Chen Ting.

It was unheard of that a tour bus could transform into a mobile fortress. If they had not witnessed it, nobody present would believe it was possible. It was a mind-numbing scene.

“Ho- how can we stop that!?”

They all had the same question, but before they could try to think for an answer or react, the monstrous vehicle crushed against the shield of spikes in the front at high speed. Needless to say, those vehicles were pulverized. They were like toys cars before it. Some of the vehicles behind them were sent flying and smashed to pieces.

Presently, the paranormals acted like ordinary people did upon meeting a zombie; they were running for their lives! None of them had expected for such an anomalous turn of events.

Suddenly, a loud explosion came out of nowhere, affecting the paranormals within its range. Some of them screamed in pain. It turned out that someone had thrown a bundle of grenades at the MCV. Upon realizing what had happened, most of the survivors felt relieved as no matter how strong the monstrous vehicle may be, they believed it couldn’t withstand the impact of such an explosion. Unfortunately, after the smoke dissipated, they found to their surprise that the MCV was slightly trembling. The explosion had not affected it at all.

‘The MCV’s shell has received 5% damage.;

In the control room, Jiang Liushi was still sitting calmly. When the bundle of grenades had been, Ying had swiftly evaded it. Although they had not evaded completely, such an explosion was not enough to damage the MCV critically.

Jiang Liushi was pleased with the MCV’s performance and defenses. Driving the MCV’s upgraded version was satisfactory. The roar of the gas pedal, the friction between the tires and the ground, and the thumping noise of the impact were all like the MCV’s roar of excitement!

Looking at the data constantly flashing on the screen, Jiang Liushi seemed to be able to feel the ‘Pulse’ and ‘Heartbeat’ of his MCV. Even grenades couldn’t stop his MCV.

Suddenly, the MCV accelerated to hit the greedy fellows coveting it. The incessant crashing sounds were mixed with the anguished screams of many unlucky fellows.

The fragile coalition crumbled in an instant. Many people began to run away without looking back. Chen Ting’s eyes flickered, revealing how terrified he was. He too intended to run away upon seeing the carnage the MCV had created. Self-preservation was more important than his desire to kill Jiang Liushi.

“Let’s go!” said Chen Ting.

The two cars accompanying him turned at once. They were at the outer layer of the encirclement, so it was easier for them to flee. As they were fleeing, Chen Ting suddenly stared at Xie Shasha inside, and his killing intent skyrocketed. “Dumb b*tch! I will kill you immediately.” Then, Chen Ling stretched his arms to catch Xie Shasha.

Xie Shasha was an ordinary girl, and once Chen Ting caught her, she would surely die. Xie Shasha screamed in fear. At that moment, a bright light suddenly jumped out from Xie Shasha’s pocket, pouncing at Chen Ting at high speed.

“What’s that ghastly thing!?” shouted Chen Ting.

Then, he tried to retract his hand, but it was too late. He felt excruciating pain coming from his hand, and upon lowering his head, he saw that his hand was covered in scratches. At the same time, he noticed a cute-looking beast with long ears standing before Xie Shasha. It looked cute, but its crimson-red eyes were emitting an overbearing killing intent.

When Chen Ting’s subordinates saw the strange beast, they felt suffocated. They knew that once the beast attacked, the whole bus would be destroyed.

“F*ck, die!” Chen Ting suddenly kicked out, but he didn’t attack Xie Shasha. Instead, he kicked the door out.

When the door was kicked out, Xie Shasha rolled out quickly because she lost her balance.

“Ah!” Xie Shasha screamed. She could get gravely injured or even die due to the impact brought by falling out of a moving car.

Fortunately, the cute white beast chased out at high speed, appearing under Xie Shasha’s body, while emitting a bright light. Then, it wrapped around Xie Shasha like a piece of huge paper. At the instant of landing, the thin piece turned into a balloon, bouncing several times on the ground before stopping. The balloon disappeared, and the little white beast reappeared.

The frightened and dazed Xie Shasha was sitting on the ground motionlessly. Luoluo growled, awakening Xie Shasha from her stupor. Upon realizing she was fine, she held Luoluo up and said excitedly, “Thank you! Thanks for your help. You are so cute!”

Luoluo struggled to roar to show its dissatisfaction. In its mind, at least, it was a proud mutant beast. How could it let strangers hug it so easily?

“Oh, I also should thank Jiang Liushi,” added Xie Shasha with her pretty smile. It was the third time that Jiang Liushi had saved her. In her mind, Jiang Liushi thought nothing of her, but…

‘You care about me, don’t you?’ thought Xie Shasha excitedly, forgetting about her near-death experience.

Currently, the MCV had destroyed most of the vehicles and wounded or killed lots of survivors. As Jiang Liushi was observing the screens, he saw that Chen Ting was running away.

“You want to run away? No way!” Jiang Liushi sneered.

Lots of survivors were fleeing, but Jiang Liushi didn’t care about them. However, Chen Ting was a special case. Jiang Liushi would never forgive him.

“You can’t leave!”

Chen Ting and his subordinates heard a roaring engine sound, and they turned back only to see that the monstrous vehicle was chasing them! They already knew how horrible was, but seeing it running after them was petrifying. The mobile fortress could smash them into pieces just with its large size.

“Hurry up! Hurry up!” Chen Ting screamed.

“That our fastest!” answered the driver nervously. He had already pushed the gas pedal to the end. Their modified vehicles were running very fast, emitting thick black smoke, and it felt as the buildings were flying back. When the driver looked back, he was dumbfounded as the mobile fortress was getting closer and closer to them.

“Boss! What should we do? They will catch up sooner or later!?”

“Brother Chen, you led us here to kill Jiang Liushi! It’s your responsibility to think of something!” In the face of death, everyone’s attitude changed.

“Don’t worry. I have a trump card!” said Chen Ting coldly.

“Brother Chen, what’s that?” asked a subordinate.

Chen Ting looked at him, revealing a meaningful smile.

“Brother Chen, what do you want to do?” asked the subordinate again.

However, he did not get an answer as Chen Ting jumped out to the roof of the bus. Then, he looked back trying to see Jiang Liushi. “Do you want to chase me? Dream on!” shouted Chen Ting and threw a grenade into his bus. Immediately after, he jumped as far as possible, landing on a lamp pole. After that, he quickly jumped and climbed on a building beside the road with his hands.

“Grenade!” shouted Che Ting’s subordinates inside the bus.

“Chen Ting, f*ck!” Unfortunately, they couldn’t do anything as the grenade exploded and the bus burst into flames.

Faced with this blaze, Jiang Liushi’s MCV was suddenly stopped as it was about to crash with them.

“Chen Ting ran away!” Wei Feifei frowned.

Jiang Liushi stood up from the seat, picked up his sniper rifle and answered, “He wishes!”
