Although the newcomers were dressed in Order uniforms, the two still hadn't fully relaxed their guard.
"Where's the Minister? We must hold out until the Minister arrives."
The thick-browed man calmly said, "The Minister is temporarily held up by Kong You and cannot get away."
The two slowly moved closer, whispering to each other in voices only they could hear.
"Who is this guy? Have you seen him before?"
"Never seen him. There are so many people in the Order Heavenly Kingdom; how could I have seen them all?"
"The Minister also didn't say anyone would come to take over. Do you think he might be an impostor?"
"But he's wearing our uniform."
"Still feels a bit off. I'll send a message to confirm."
Gu Hua pulled out his communicator, and just then, a rustling sound came from the nearby bushes again.
He looked warily towards it, and a strange-looking dog with glowing red eyes suddenly rushed out of the bushes, directly pouncing on the thick-browed man who had his back to him.
The immense impact directly knocked him to the ground, and before he could react, a bloody maw was already biting at his neck.
"Help, help me!"
"Ah—!"
The man's face was mangled, and the monster, with its bloody maw, looked towards the remaining two.
"Mutant, mutant creature!"
The terrified two immediately drew their guns and fired, but the monster dog's movements were incredibly agile, twisting left and right, dodging most of the bullets.
But a few still hit the monster's abdomen, and the monster fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the two also breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to go forward to check on the injured person on the ground, a dull thudding sound echoed from the forest ahead.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Within the dark forest, it was as if another indescribable monster was approaching.
The monster that had fallen to the ground also stood up again, shook its body, and its eyes glowed brightly with red light.
"Roar—!"
The monster dog roared and charged at the two again.
Another burst of bullets, and the monster dog fell to the ground again after being hit.
But the next second, it shakily stood up again.
And the red light in its eyes grew even brighter.
Twice knocked down yet twice standing up, this completely shattered the fighting spirit of Gu Hua and the other man.
"Un, unkillable!"
"Damn it, run!"
As an old hand, Gu Hua knew that the two of them were no match for this monster, so he turned around, put away his gun, and ran.
Wang Gang was clearly a bit at a loss.
"What about the Train?"
"I was just temporarily transferred here to assist them; I don't want to die here!"
"You're a bachelor; my daughter and wife are still waiting for me at home!"
With Gu Hua fleeing, plus the increasingly dense thudding sounds from the forest nearby, Wang Gang also couldn't take it anymore.
"Wait, wait for me!"
When Wang Gang passed by the thick-browed man, he even took a special look.
That guy's face was chewed beyond recognition by the monster dog, no longer looking human.
Damn, with this kind of strength, he comes to take over?
Isn't the Minister just setting people up?
Thinking of this, Wang Gang ran even faster.
Behind them, the recovered monster dog relentlessly pursued them.
After the two were chased far away, silence returned here.
The thudding sound from the forest also stopped.
A silver humanoid creature jumped out.
At the same time, the thick-browed man lying on the ground suddenly sat up.
After wiping the blood from his face, he got up, put Ren Laotaiye into his jie bracelet, and came to the Train.
The bitten wounds on Qi Xiao's face began to heal; this was a disguise he used with a Thousand-Change Human Skin Face.
Qi Xiao placed his hand on the Train.
Only one chance; whether it succeeds depends on this!
Qi Xiao's palms were sweating nervously. After placing his hand on the Train, he counted every second.
It took a full minute and a half to put the Train into the jie bracelet.
With the Train in the jie bracelet, Qi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had thought the Train was special and the jie bracelet couldn't take it in.
Kong You, this is what you owe me.
......
"Wait, something seems wrong."
Gu Hua stopped Wang Gang's steps.
"Wha, wha, what's wrong?"
He turned his head to look behind him.
The forest was so quiet they could only hear each other's panting.
"Why isn't that monster dog chasing us anymore?"
"Are you crazy? Isn't it good that it's not chasing us?"
"But we've run so far, and we haven't encountered a single mutant creature, have we?"
"Are you saying?"
"Not good! We fell for it!"
By the time the two reacted and rushed back, the Train was long gone.
Such a large vehicle, just evaporated into thin air?!
"Damn it, the body of that guy who was just bitten to death by the monster dog is also gone!"
Gu Hua pursed his lips and forced a smile.
"I knew that person was fake!"
He looked at Wang Gang.
"Quick, the radar tracker!"
"Oh, right, the tracker!"
They had already installed a special tracker on the Train, which could pinpoint its location anywhere within Zu'an.
Wang Gang took out the radar tracker, but the radar showed no target.
"No signal? No, that's impossible. As long as it's still in Zu'an, it can be tracked!"
"Unless this Train is no longer in Zu'an."
"It's over, it's over. If the Minister finds out about this, we're dead."
Wang Gang held the radar, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Hua pressed his hand, saying in a deep voice, "What does the Minister know?"
"We'll just agree on a story: say the Train suddenly disappeared, and that's it."
"You, and me," Gu Hua pointed at Wang Gang, then at himself, and then at the ground.
"The two of us have been guarding here the whole time, never leaving."
"Never left for a single step."
Wang Gang suddenly understood, "Right, right, right! We've been guarding here the whole time; the Train itself suddenly disappeared."
Having appeased Wang Gang, Gu Hua took out his communicator.
"I'll report the news of the Train's sudden disappearance right now. You quickly clean up those bullet casings and whatever else needs tidying."
......
A few minutes later, an airship stopped above them, and Donghai Zui directly leaped down.
But there was no Train here, only two members of the Order Heavenly Kingdom.
Donghai Zui listened to their report with a cold face, wasted no time, turned around, flew back to the airship, and left.
Wang Gang and Gu Hua also left one after another.
Five hundred meters away, Qi Xiao, hidden in the shadows, watched all of this through his Scarlet Beast.
An airship, what a grand display.
So this woman must be the Minister of the Order Heavenly Kingdom's wanted department, she looks quite young.
Watching the airship disappear into the night, Qi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't expected them to install a tracker on the Train. Fortunately, after it was taken into the jie bracelet, the tracker also stopped working.
It seems he can't easily take the Train out for now.
What if they receive a signal and turn back? That wouldn't be good.
Another ten-plus minutes passed, and Qi Xiao heard rustling sounds from afar.
More people were coming.
......
Kong You and Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng rushed here, only to find their Train had disappeared.
A rare look of anger immediately appeared on her face.
"If the car's gone, we can just get another one. Why are you so angry?"
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng consoled her, "Did you, by any chance, put some treasure in your car?"
"That's my favorite car!"
"That car has my unfinished novel, the bed I've slept in for a long time, and my favorite mushrooms."
Speaking of this, a hint of sadness appeared in Kong You's eyes.
"Damn it."
"It must be Donghai Zui. Next time we meet, I'm going to rip off her cheongsam!"
"Good, I agree!"
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng gave a thumbs up.
"So, shall we go find another car?"
