As an important city in Texas famous for its aerospace, energy, and ports!!
Starting tonight.
Caught in a series of blows, natural disasters artificially shaped by extraordinary beings completely enveloped this poor city.
but……
The pity is not just for the city, the people who live in Houston, or the people who come here for various reasons.
On this unusual night, I embarked on a journey of escape!!
But……
Facing the long and dark Texas wilderness road, where can they go?!
Where is the end of their escape?!
Where is the safe place?!
No one knows, including the Houston Police Department, which organized the evacuation from the very beginning, and the explosive train team, which is playing a clear leading role in the team!!
It is a biological instinct to avoid disaster.
However, if the world falls into chaos, where can they go?
Besides...
Right behind people!!
Even though they had exhausted all the driving vehicles and fled all night, they could still see the flash of explosions from time to time, and the inexplicable explosion of Houston!!
From that ominous city as the center.
The magic from hell, the corruption that mortals cannot detect is spreading, following the panic of the fleeing people, and the helpless and confused emptiness!!
After the dark magic soil infected Houston, it is spreading across the vast territory of Texas!!
No one thought about it!!
If when these demonic lands are enveloped and everything is pulled towards hell, will the escape journey of the people of Houston come to an end?!
Or rather...
Where should the entire state of Texas go from here?!
…
How about Texas, hard to say now...
However, as an important member of the Explosive Train team, Mike is responsible for the team's operations and various preparations for Johnny's performances!!
This big fat man is really exhausted both physically and mentally now.
He once again communicated with the Houston Police Department, and what they said was very clear.
After such an incident occurred, the most important thing at the moment is to ensure the safety and order of the evacuation.
after all.
Once a bigger chaos occurs, it is very likely that no one will be able to leave!!
"The disaster in Houston cost us everything, but..."
"Now……"
"No matter what, surviving is more important than anything else."
The other side of communication.
It was Mr. Houston's director who was following behind the motorcade.
Of course, now that all of Houston is gone, this director is only in name only.
but……
When the first wave of floods occurred in Houston, everyone was not drowned there. The director who gave up everything immediately and led everyone to run away decisively was really indispensable!!
"Yes, sir..."
"For the explosive train team..."
Mike cheered up and said some formulaic replies!!
He understands what the Houston Police Department means, as the most popular news figure in Houston in recent times!!
In this escape journey, what should the bombing team do to calm down the panicked people!!
after all……
Compared to driving aimlessly into the endless darkness, how can following the explosive train under the bright and eye-catching sign of the motorcade give people some psychological comfort?!
Maybe……
This is the power of role models?!
Hey, maybe!!
Mike didn't want to pay much attention to it, because as a role model for the Explosion Team... he was an absolutely important member of the team and at the same time his best friend!!
Johnny Blaze has been missing since the chaos started tonight!!
before the great retreat.
Mike anxiously went to the hotel room to find Johnny, but...
The whole room was in chaos, as if an uninvited guest had broken in. Johnny was not in the room...
and!!
What gave Mike a bad premonition was that the window in the room was smashed, and the explosion felt like the whole person fell after being smashed.
this……
"stop!!"
"Mike, stop your random thoughts!!"
After the fleet's luxury car exploded, Mike said fiercely in his room, facing the mirror in front of the sink.
"All right!!"
"You have to understand, Johnny is a bastard who fell in love with Lady Luck!!"
Shaking his head, Mike tried to wake himself up with cold water.
"Wow!!"
Mike no longer considered whether it was right to splash cold water on his face, to waste a small amount of water at such a critical moment.
In a state of mental stress, he had not closed his eyes all night. He was very tired and at the same time very irritable!
Across the window.
Mike can also hear it at this time.
Members of other teams were shouting loudly outside, trying hard to stir up the atmosphere and attract more Blast Team fans.
So that this escape journey becomes less desperate, at least it doesn't look like it.
"listen!!"
"I can hear the cheers outside, it's okay!!"
As if he was going to self-hypnotize, Mike said to himself in the mirror seriously.
"so……"
"You don't need to worry about Johnny in this situation now, it will be fine, you understand!!"
…
"Johnny?!"
"Ah, I know that guy who rides a motorcycle!!"
On the other side of the phone, Zhao Li's familiar voice came. He sounded very relaxed and still had the same comfortable feeling as before.
This makes Harry feel so much better!!
seem……
Things are not as bad as they thought?!
after all……
Brother Li, who is trapped in Houston, can still use such a relaxed and freehand tone...
ah!!
Is this world going to be a better place?!
"How's Johnny?!"
"Mike is worried about him. Is he... okay!!"
At the end of Mary Jane's words, her tone slowly became lower. In fact, some questions did not need to be asked.
On such an extraordinary battlefield...
How could Johnny Blaze, a stunt driver who loves to seek death, survive...
"oh!"
"Don't worry, that kid is in good spirits..."
"You will naturally see it by then, so I won't say more."
Holding Xiao Qi, Officer Zhao, who was on the battlefield, could directly see the reactions of Mary Jane and Harry through the large and shining transparent screen.
It seems that the Explosive Train team is very worried about Johnny, but... they don't need to worry about the hot-tempered boy who can breathe fire.
The Bone Knight, who was wielding chains and whose body was on fire, had brought a lot of trouble to Zhao Li that night.
Even so.
Regarding Johnny's own awakening, and whether he should tell the rest of the Explosive Train team and his friends about the skeleton's posture.
This kind of thing is naturally Johnny's own choice, and Zhao Li will not talk too much.
When she heard the affirmative reply from Officer Zhao, Mary Jane breathed a small sigh of relief.
"Well..."
"In this case, it's okay..."
This girl was initially approached by the Explosion Team for big news.
but……
Nowadays, big news is no longer needed, because the whole world is full of big news, and it is really too big...
Through Master Harry's satellite phone, he can still connect to the Internet and see the world, but Mary Jane, who is paying attention to the news, is already confused!!
Doomsday Theory!!
Alien invasion theory!!
Gods came to the world to eliminate the theory of sin...even some new sects and ancient churches came out.
About New York, about New York State, about the world...either true or false!!
I can’t tell the difference clearly and I really can’t tell the difference!!
All of a sudden!!
Even Houston has become unimportant!!
"Brother Li..."
"I saw other news reports saying..."
Mary Jane wanted to tell what she saw, but she didn't need to say more about what happened in this world...
There should be no one who knows it better than Li Zhao, as a player.
Lantian Jade!!
Although they belong to the same camp, Zhao Li cannot agree with this fanatic who declared war on all players at the same time and caused chaos in a state!!
but……
"With things like this in Houston, I can't say anything myself."
Official Zhao shook his head.
The battlefield environment inside Houston at this time was not sent to Mary Jane and Harry. It was not necessarily a good thing for them to know too much about some things.
What magma sea...
What kind of light explodes in the cherry blossom snow...
What shadows and ice, and the poisonous swamp that drowns the demons...
In such an overly exciting scene, it was not difficult for Official Zhao to help Harry and the others who were on the run. The main reason was that they were worried about scaring the children!!
certainly……
Not everything can't be said, because...
"Young people in the new era, it doesn't matter whether you accept it or not."
"This world is like this..."
"Everything you have known in the past is gradually being changed!!"
…
Chatting across screens in the battlefield, holding Xiaoqi and smoking a cigarette, Zhao Li seemed a little out of place on this battlefield.
And the same.
There is another person who is currently in Houston and seems to have nothing to do with this battlefield.
Platycodon!!
This shrine maiden from the Warring States Period holds a long bow and blooms with spiritual power.
"..."
Slowly draw back your bow in silence!
The process of slaying demons was once again interrupted. The big demon she originally faced was blocked by the sudden appearance of a being named [Qing Pheasant Kuzan].
From the conversation between Kuzan and Moonlight Moria, it can be heard that they seem to be from the same world.
and……
The so-called navy, the so-called Shichibukai under the king...
Although she doesn't understand the specific inside story, Kikyo can understand the general meaning.
"An old rival?!"
Shaking her head, the miko lady took up her bow and put it on her back again.
Looking around the battlefield with clear eyes, in this chaotic and confusing battle situation, Kikyo suddenly had no place to take action.
The place of entry.
The existence from Hades, the huge ice meteorite smashed down by Esdeath, has also been blocked by the strong men from the Emperor's Foundation.
That’s the magma blocking the ice!!
Above the night sky, there is a bright light that is colliding with the gods!!
Gaze far away!!
In the other direction of Houston, there is an aura of darkness and depravity, as if in front of the passage leading to the kingdom of death, the red god of death, full of terrible poison, is clearing away those ominous monsters.
"boom!!"
Elegantly, the line of fire passed around a big bend, and the Hell Motorcycle carried the Ghost Rider at high speed, rushing to the edge of the battlefield.
And after that.
【Zhao Li】
They also have red names, and they have been with each other for a while, so they are considered to be the few people that Kikyo is familiar with in this world.
With golden light all over his body and following the scorch marks left by the hellfire, Zhao Li appeared in front of Kikyo in a flash.
"Yo!!"
"Sister, are you taking a rest?!"
He raised Xiao Qi in his hand, and Platycodon's face appeared on the screen, selectively sending Platycodon's appearance to Harry.
really……
Seeing the familiar miko lady, the atmosphere there became more harmonious!
Just now.
Because of Official Zhao's low words, the atmosphere was slightly depressing.
Young Master Harry and his party, who were already at a loss, faced this predicament, and the solution given by Li Zhao was one.
That is running.
Keep running forward, just follow the darkness of Texas, rush forward with all your strength, no matter what, stay away from Houston and away from the area where chaos is happening at this time.
Can there be a good result by doing this?!
In fact, Zhao Li, who is currently in the middle of a battle, doesn’t know, but at least he can live in peace for a while!!
You can never give up, right?!
Therefore, Harry and his companions' escape is still going on, and they can see that Zhao Li and Qi Jing in the battlefield are both safe and sound.
This is undoubtedly exciting and reassuring news.
"Um!"
Nodding lightly without saying anything else, Kikyo looked at Xiao Qi in Li Zhao's hand and tilted her head slightly, giving Harry and the others a response.
…
Not far away.
In the dark and huge towering shadow box, the strange laughter of the big pirate "hehehehehe" came.
The sound of this voice made Zhao Li's scalp feel numb.
He didn't want to cause trouble at all, so he left the so-called enemy to Mr. Kuzan, who also used ice.
To be able to save Moonlight Moria from such trouble, this gentleman is really a good person.
"Slip away, slip away!!"
"Sister, you don't want to join in the fun here!!"
After hanging up with Xiao Qi, he finished communicating with Harry, turned around and said something to Platycodon, and Officer Zhao continued to sneak away without looking back.
The witch lady, on the other hand, silently followed behind Official Zhao.
"Sister, just say what you want to say..."
"Except for having a fight with me now, everything else is easy to talk about."
I sighed in my heart.
Zhao Li was in a complicated mood at the moment.
In the underworld, they got along quite well, and he even forgot about the conflict between the two camps for a while.
However!
As Esdeath overran the city, Kikyo chose to stop it...
really……
She will never return to Hades.
"When will Hades take action?!"
With a calm face and slightly parted pink lips, Kikyo asked seriously as she looked at the seemingly lazy Zhao Li in front of her.
"Don't ask me, I don't know!!"
"I was blocked by that woman, if you could ask her yourself!!"
He shook his head helplessly.
Oops~ What a headache!
He had already guessed what Kikyo asked.
Can……
How do you ask him to say some things? He is really... very helpless.
"..."
"I have an unknown premonition, it's the witch's foreknowledge!!"
Platycodon was slightly silent.
But after a moment, he still chose to speak out.
"Ha ha!!"
"Precognition?!"
"What did you foresee? Isn't the current situation ominous enough?!"
Officer Zhao raised his eyebrows, threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and crushed it with his feet.
"..."
Platycodon is silent!
She did feel something, and that was because her overflowing soul brought an inexplicable premonition about the miko herself!!
