Chapter 1971: with translation of chapter title

7! Look over there! Over there seems like someone is rushing towards us!

They seem to be being chased by something!

The fire blazed fiercely, like a giant torch that had been lit, illuminating the gloomy city.

Standing on the top floor of the three-story commercial building beside another burning skyscraper, Golden Bull had a solemn expression as he looked at the distant district.

The fire was fierce, the air seeming to be twisted.

Through the overheated air, on the distant road there was visibly a five-person squad, helping each other escape.

No, it should be said they were fleeing while carrying someone on their backs.

"That's my kin! They're our ogre clan!"

"Golden Robe!?"

"Wait! That looks like my people!"

Without Golden Bull even thinking to ask Lin An what to do, the next second Lin An, who had been drawing a map, suddenly jumped off the platform and rushed toward the distance.

The reason was simple: at the very front of this squad being chased were Zhang Tie and Gao Tian.

"Gao Tian! Can you still hold on!? If not, I'll drag you and run!"

"I'm still okay! Brother Zhang! I'll carry one and run! Those monsters are about to catch up!"

Gao Tian's chest heaved rapidly, he tightly gripped the fire suit in his hand, running behind Xiong Hanzi. His occasional backward glances were full of solemnity, as if some unseen monster were chasing them from behind.

Meanwhile, Golden Robe beside him was limping, head down, sprinting madly, not daring to look back.

"What are you carrying!? As long as you don't get hurt! I'm strong, I can support carrying another!"

Sweat drenched his head, his old face flushed red.

Zhang Tie violently shook his shoulders, the two ogres about to be flung off, after a low roar his speed actually increased a bit.

Only to see his legs spinning like a fire wheel, flying fast; although he was still carrying two people, his speed was actually a notch faster than Gao Tian and the others fleeing alone.

Facing Zhang Tie's display like a bull, Gao Tian gave a wry smile, also knowing that Brother Zhang basically didn't need his help.

It's hard to imagine: Golden Robe, a War Star Individual, and he, a Fourth Rank, together are still not as useful as Xiong Hanzi. Relying purely on brute strength, Zhang Tie's overall strength is comparable to that of a First Level Awakened One.

In this mission, he was practically an existence comparable to a war god.

"Hold on! There's a fence ahead! I have to jump over it!"

Seeing that ahead was a long roadside guardrail, going around would surely let the monsters behind catch up; only hearing Zhang Tie roar angrily, he simply sprinted and, carrying the two ogres, leapt high.

Like a bear falling from the sky, with a boom he crossed the half-person-high guardrail and landed directly on the roof of a car beside the road.

"Bang!"

The metal deformed, the dust-covered car roof instantly dented inward, and the two ogres Zhang Tie carried on his shoulders felt as if their five viscera were about to be squeezed out.

With no complaints, the two War Star Individual ogres stared at each other in shock, only daring to cling tightly to Xiong Hanzi, striving not to fall.

Words of gratitude had been said countless times; one of the ogres could not help but want to cry.

"Zhang Tie brothers! If we make it out alive this time, I, Gu Erdán, will surely repay you with my life; once I see our captain, I will definitely let the captain treat you as one of our own!"

Having been useless all the way, Gu Erdán's feeling of not being wronged is false.

In his view, although they were useless, as Star Destroyer Lord Gu Sīmàn they were certainly different! Zhang Tie had saved them many times, and he also wanted Lord Gu Sīmàn to bring Zhang Tie along to survive!

"Don't! You damn well don't repay kindness with enmity! With your piss-poor look, just help me find Captain Lin later!"

"This little thing counts for nothing; back when I carried Captain Lin fleeing, there were literally thousands of zombies chasing behind my ass, and I still fought my way out!"

Unmoved by the ogres' gratitude, Zhang Tie split his big mouth, his thoughts more focused on the distant building that had caught fire.

Who knows how long they've been fleeing.

Since leaving the art gallery, unseen things suddenly began chasing them from behind.

Fortunately, that thing wasn't fast enough and could be attacked. After running wildly for four or five blocks, they noticed the abnormality here.

A burning building, although it's unknown whether other mission participants caused it, but with no objective, they had no choice but to flee in this direction.

(I don't know if Captain Lin is here...! But according to Gao Tian's analysis, Captain Lin hasn't triggered a restart yet, so that means he's fine for now!)

The information they obtained is extremely important; according to Gao Tian, the thing he happened to think of could very well help Captain Lin break the deadlock!

Hearing Zhang Tie's incessant cursing, the two ogres tightly gripping Xiong Hanzi's shoulders weren't angry, just gave an embarrassed smile.

I don't even know how many times I've heard the title Captain Lin.

Although they were saved by Zhang Tie, honestly they still felt that Zhang Tie going to find that man was pointless. Rather than pinning hopes on another Fourth Rank, it would be better to find Gusiman.

Of course, the two wouldn't be so stupid as to blurt out the truth like Golden Robe; exchanging a glance, Gu Erdán secretly made up his mind, planning to, when he meets Gusiman, as much as possible help Zhang Tie and them find the captain, which would also count as repaying a favor.

"Brother Zhang! Those monsters have caught up! I heard the sound!"

Seeing that the burning building was just one block away, Gao Tian's expression suddenly changed; in his view, a sedan behind them had been blatantly rammed open by something.

Obviously, those invisible monsters had caught up with them again!

Just as the words fell, before Zhang Tie could instinctively turn his head, a panicked voice suddenly rang out.

"Zhang Tie brothers! Pull me up!"

Only to see Golden Robe, who had barely scrambled over the guardrail, now deathly pale; although he was running alone, in terms of stamina he was inferior even to Gao Tian!

After being attacked, he was also the first to be injured!

After fleeing for so long, he felt his lungs were about to burst! The monsters caught up, and the first to die was him!

Being jerked suddenly, Zhang Tie staggered, almost losing his balance.

He glared back, seeing Golden Robe desperately pulling him, Zhang Tie instantly realized that this guy who claimed to be a War Star Individual had actually latched onto him!

"Let go!!"

Xiong Hanzi shouted loudly; although he couldn't see those monsters, a chilling sensation was already rapidly approaching!

From the sight of the car being rammed open, those monsters were no more than a hundred meters away! Already carrying two ogres, Golden Robe dragging him like this would definitely get everyone killed!

"Take me with you! Take me with you! As long as you can save me, the Creator Alliance will definitely not shortchange you! Drop these ogres! Save me! Save me!"

"Qing Kai...! Lord Qing Kai will also remember you!"

Heedless of his own status, the Golden Robe shouted desperately, refusing to let go even unto death! If caught, it's death; if he could drag Zhang Tie to a stop, there might still be hope!
