Infected at the start and exiled to the City of Strange Species.
Octopus extended its tentacles: What is this? Let's suck it!
Goat extended its hooves: What is this? Let's suck ...
A modified spaceship with four wheels suddenly appeared and sped across the uneven road, accompanied by loud, dynamic music, with faint sounds of collapse that could be heard.
"Can you please stop this damn music? I can barely hear the phone anymore!"
Barry was now driving, and Jack sat in the back seat in a contorted position. The bent roof of the car above her head forced her to hunch over, desperately holding the starfish that was still announcing the location to her ear with one hand.
Barry carefully rolled his eyes, his dull eye now only showing a sliver of white, and he yelled, "Do you think I wanted this? My ears are practically deaf!"
"I've said it so many times, this piece of junk should have been thrown into the junkyard long ago!"
It's a miracle that the heavily modified car can still be driven, and the uncontrollable looping music only made the desperate escape even more miserable.
Gu Li sat in the passenger seat, his gaze sweeping across the sky, and suddenly asked, "What are these red-skinned pigs you're talking about?"
Barry gritted his teeth and forced the vehicle through the narrow gap, the sounds of it colliding with debris echoing from both sides.
He stared intently ahead, but in this obviously chaotic area, he didn't encounter a single person.
He cursed under his breath, but still managed to find time to answer Gu Li's question.
“We are the White Eagles, the outer city's believer group. While we worship the Mother Goddess, we reject unrestrained alienation,” Barry said, touching his gray eye and scoffing. “The Red Pigs are the largest group in the outer city. They are different from us; they are a bunch of unrestrained madmen.”
Despite his discomfort, Jack brought his ear close to the starfish, trying to hear the babbling coming from it, and then shouted loudly.
"I think if we can survive, receiving the Mother Goddess's baptism might not be a bad thing! But the problem is those idiots who don't listen to anyone!"
Barry abruptly turned the steering wheel, the car narrowly missing a steel frame extending from the side, and sneered: "If we're hoping those red-clad bastards will obey us, we might as well pray we can save up enough money to get into the inner city sooner."
"At least I don't have to risk my life every day and be dragged away by those red-clothed guys to be sacrificed."
Gu Li rested his chin on his hand, his gaze fixed on the red dot that appeared on the horizon and was approaching at an extremely fast speed.
She reached out and poked Jack, who was pale-faced behind her, and sat up straight, saying, "I bet those guys in red were probably flying red spaceships too?"
Jack also saw the spaceship in the sky. His face turned pale as he dropped the starfish that was reporting its location. There was a hissing sound on the other side, and then silence returned.
"Damn it, I still can't shake them off!"
He then looked at Lucy beside him and licked his lips: "It's fate that we've met here. Could you please help me later? I don't need to kill anyone!"
“Those things above are clearly hierarchical and will automatically submit to believers of higher rank. If you show them what you’re capable of, we might be able to leave.”
When Jack went out to collect trash today, he never expected things to turn out this way. Now, their last lifeline is the woman they picked up on a whim to sell.
Although he knew that Lucy seemed to be Gu Li's subordinate, he still took the initiative to ask Lucy's opinion, after all, in Grantham, the strong always reigned supreme.
This woman possessed the ability to easily kill a missionary-level individual, enough to earn his respect.
Lucy, with her pale and delicate face, glanced at Gu Li without saying a word. Seeing her nod slightly, she smiled and said, "It's my pleasure. We also need your help with something."
The two breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the reply, and Jack offered, "Whatever the request, as long as it's within our capabilities, we can discuss it."
The red airship was almost parallel to them, with a line of large characters engraved on its hull: "We uphold the supreme dignity of the Mother Goddess."
Under their gazes, Lucy smiled gently and agreed.
Under their gazes, she stretched a slender, snow-white hand out of the window, her palm slightly open and facing upwards toward the airship.
The crimson airship swayed almost imperceptibly.
The spaceship's hatch opened simultaneously, and a group of tall figures in red uniforms jumped down from above, landing on the ground with several heavy thuds.
Each of them looked very sharp and strong, but when they stood together, a strange similarity made them look like industrial products copied and pasted together.
Gu Li was a little shocked: "It looks like his mother gave birth to octuplets."
"Aha!"
Hearing her words, Jack chuckled briefly, his voice laced with sarcasm: "Be careful they don't hear you and rush over to defend your mother's dignity."
As he said this, his gaze remained fixed on Lucy, and he gripped his gun tightly, ready for battle.
The leader, dressed in a red uniform, approached the group, holding a small silver pistol in his hand. His voice sounded like that of an emotionless artificial intelligence.
“I am Captain 03 of the Third Squad of the Red Legion. Jack and Barry, you have repeatedly smuggled contraband and obstructed the worship of the Mother Goddess. In order to uphold the dignity of the Mother Goddess, we have the right to eliminate you on the spot.”
Gu Li raised her eyebrows high, and suddenly, in the tense atmosphere, she stretched out her pale hand and waved it in front of that person.
"Hey, there are two more people in this car!"
The man's eyes followed her finger as it moved, then looked down at Gu Li, before turning to Barry: "Even accomplices are guilty."
A dark glint flashed in Gu Li's eyes. As expected, it was all about strength above all else.
When you see a woman, do you not even talk to her directly?
To be honest, it's a bit annoying.
Barry glanced at Gu Li, then pointed his gun at the man before she could react: "Hmph, you red-skinned pigs, aren't you stretching your reach a little too far?"
"I advise you to mind your own business and stay out of White Eagle's affairs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the group changed simultaneously. Barry reached out and grabbed Gu Li, rolling him backwards in the car. Suddenly, the car exploded with a loud bang.
Jack and Barry cursed under their breath and fired wildly at him.
Gu Li finally found her longsword under the front seat. She straightened up slightly and reached out to take it, but suddenly a hand appeared on her head and slammed her to the ground.
Then came Jack's furious voice: "Are you crazy?!"
Lucy, witnessing this scene, also widened her eyes, and the same thought came to mind.
Is he insane?!
"You almost got your head blown off! Now, stop acting like a pampered princess and just stay put!"
Gu Li's head was forcibly pressed under the car seat. She gritted her teeth. If she had gotten the longsword, a weapon made by Levi himself, it wouldn't be so difficult that a few bullets couldn't cut through it!
But she said nothing, because the car finally started to break down and flames began to rage ahead.
