Chapter 4: The Crisis Approaches

Even in the frigid air outside, this ape-man wore only a black vest on his upper body, with a communication headset on his head. His hands and shoulders were completely exposed to the biting cold, yet he moved with the swiftness of the wind, entirely unaffected by the chill. A laser gun was holstered at his waist, along with a metal baton of unknown purpose.

Yang Ying turned around and fled without paying any attention to the curiosity of those wanting to observe the enemy. In such a situation, to even stick one's head out was simply courting death

The bottle struck the wall, shattering into pieces, with shards of glass and pepper scattering down, landing precisely on the face of the pursuer

Oh? Bal seems to have sensed something and proposed: "Your humble servant Bal feels that you are in a crisis, but of course, this should be no challenge for the invincible master. However, there are some minor matters that we can help you resolve. Although there are currently no troops in the base, the master can summon the farmers of the three clans to assist you in clearing the troubles at hand."

Without any need for exclamation, Yang Ying's innate pride awakened as he replied in a calm tone, "You may focus on your own tasks!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the ape-man could not open his eyes, Yang Ying rushed out from the back door of the restaurant. He immediately spotted a relatively intact magnetic motorcycle lying on its side across the street. A person was trapped beneath the motorcycle, covered in blood, clearly having been dead for some time, yet his hand still gripped the handlebars.

Yang Ying remembered that he had a magnetic vehicle parked by the street. Since the distance to the city government was neither too far nor too close, walking would take several hours and posed a high level of danger. Therefore, he decided to see if that magnetic vehicle could still be operated.

The tracker let out a beastly roar and screamed in agony while covering his face

His goal is a restaurant twenty meters ahead. The restaurant is filled with obstacles and has multiple exits, making it an excellent place to shake off enemies. Of course, the most important factor is that the memory of this body has a clear impression of that restaurant. He used to frequent it for meals and was a card-playing friend of the owner, so he is quite familiar with the internal environment of the restaurant

In order to evade, Yang Ying, like a lazy donkey rolling over, hid under a table. He was horrified to discover that this vehicle had clearly not been driven, but had been thrown here!

It is important to note that today is merely the first day of the journey; everything has just begun. In the future, opponents who are tenfold or even a hundredfold stronger than this pursuer will appear one by one before us

He took out the key to open the door while also observing his surroundings, remaining vigilant to any dangers around him

Before he had the chance to feel sorrow, a rumbling sound of wind came from behind, sending a chill down Yang Ying's spine, prompting him to hurriedly dive inside.

A tremendous crash echoed as the magnetic vehicle crashed straight into the restaurant, shattering the doors, windows, and walls, with shards of glass flying in all directions

From the gaps between its fingers, one could see its face, with a protruding mouth and an exceptionally large chin, exuding an ancient aura. It bore no resemblance to a human face; rather, it resembled that of a primitive ape

In Yang Ying's view, casualties or the absence of casualties are not important; how could there be no deaths in a war?

At the same time, Yang Ying quickly turned around and swiftly took out a pepper shaker from his pocket, throwing it towards the upper part of the hole in the wall

Yet he aspires to traverse the world and become a figure of unparalleled achievement. His brief life experiences have led him to a profound understanding that the higher one climbs, the harder one falls. While possessing power, if one lacks the corresponding ambition and capability, there will inevitably come a day when one, like an infant wielding a heavy hammer, brings about one's own demise

Yang Ying then took the opportunity to observe that the pursuer was over 2 meters tall, with a body full of bulging muscles and covered in long fur

Yang Yingfei quickly got out of the car, opened the hood, and discovered a dent in the center of the engine.

Yang Ying rushed into the kitchen, pulled out a long, narrow kitchen knife from the stove, and held it in his hand like a short sword. After all, he could not confront this excessively robust man empty-handed, and a kitchen knife could only serve as a minimal means of defense.

Soon, he successfully opened the car door, sat inside, and attempted to start the magnetic vehicle, but the indicator light representing the engine flickered briefly before dimming again

Yang Ying felt like he could spit blood upon hearing this. What initially sounded like mere flattery became a biting irony in the midst of his escape.

Therefore, Yang Ying vowed to himself: "Before the first machine gunner appears, I will survive on my own. This is not only a test of ability but also a test of will and wisdom. If I fail this trial, then, compared to incompetence, I would rather die"

Yang Ying tiptoed to the side of the car and discovered that although the hood had been struck hard, causing a central dent and raised edges, it was still much better compared to the surrounding scrap metal. This was likely because there were no people inside the car at the time of the incident

At that moment, he remembered that he still had a starry world in his hands, and could not help but call out the name of Baal in his heart

Dead car! It failed me at a critical moment! Start up quickly!" Yang Ying moved his lips, softly uttering sounds, his instincts warning him that danger was approaching

Although www.hetushucom.com has considered so much, not much time has actually passed

"Forget it, it's nothing," Yang Ying replied irritably

A great opportunity

In the final moment before entering the kitchen, he quickly turned his head to take a glance. There, in the large hole created by the car, appeared a grayish-white, furry arm, clearly belonging to a non-human entity. The area with less fur on the wrist of that arm revealed bulging subcutaneous blood vessels, resembling a series of worms, fierce and filled with primal strength.

If today I cannot even deal with a mere tracker, then it can only indicate that as the master of the interstellar realm, I am nothing more than this. How can I then speak of dominating the world?

Yang Ying lay on the ground, waiting for the glass rain to pass before getting back up and rushing towards the kitchen deeper inside, where the restaurant's back door was located. During his sprint, he passed by three tables and casually took a glass bottle of pepper from one of the tables, placing it in his clothing pocket

In an instant, Yang Ying felt a shiver run through his entire body, as if a terrifying presence was fixated on him. The location was approximately fifty meters behind the hood of the engine!

What command do you have for your humble servant, great and omnipotent Master?" The voice of Baal echoed in his heart

However, the car ignored Yang Ying's urgency and refused to cooperate

Although in order to reduce the magnetic load, the magnetic energy and the *graph* book vehicle are made of lightweight alloys and are generally quite light, they still weigh nearly 2 tons

"As you command, my master!" The voice of Baal gradually faded away

As he crossed the kitchen, only three steps away from the back door of the restaurant, a loud bang was heard from behind, and a massive figure burst through the wall

Determined, he directly opened the window and jumped onto the street, quickly finding his vehicle among a large pile of scrap metal. The magnetic vehicle of the twenty-sixth century features a silver-gray streamlined exterior, hovering about half a meter to one meter above the ground while in motion, with a top speed exceeding two hundred kilometers.

As Yang Ying burst through the restaurant's entrance, he immediately noticed that his old friend and several other patrons lay sprawled on the ground, their bodies covered in frost marks, clearly having been frozen to death for quite some time

The attack power of the farmers is truly unimpressive. Even if a group of farmers charges together, regardless of the likelihood of overwhelming the pursuers, the casualties will inevitably be severe. The magnetic vehicle that flew by has already clearly demonstrated the strength of the pursuers, and the farmers are likely not even enough to withstand a single punch from it

He touched the location of the dent with his hand while analyzing, based on the remnants of his memory, that the injured area was the center where multiple systems converged. Below the dent, there were numerous wires, which had evidently been damaged significantly by this impact. Repairing it would not be a simple task; not only was there a lack of tools, but even the time required would be enough for him to walk to the town hall.
