Chapter 291 Tokyo City
A city that seems to be made of steel is located at the port of Tokyo Bay.
The city is not big, only a few kilometers long and wide. The city wall is made of iron sheets of various colors and is sealed on the outside like a thin film, which makes it feel messy.
At first glance, the city's edge is as flat as a small country town. There are almost no tall buildings, and there is no lushness at all. The whole city is dead.
This is Tokyo City, one of the four major base cities built on the basis of the original Tokyo Metropolis.
"Hurry up! Speed up! As long as you enter the city, you will be safe!"
In the wilderness about two kilometers away from the city wall, a small escort team of several people is running for their lives, as if there is a monster chasing them from behind, and everyone wants to use all their strength.
The one who shouted to encourage everyone like this is a girl with black waist-length hair.
Her face was covered with dust, which made her beautiful face look dull. She covered her eyes with a pair of goggles. She was fully armed, not only wearing a bulletproof vest, but also a dagger on her leg and holding an automatic rifle with live ammunition in her hand.
But at this time, the weapon in her hand could not bring her any sense of security.
"Yes, Captain!"
The team members behind her, encouraged by her, seemed to have regained their strength and quickened their pace.
The whole escort team rushed to the city wall two kilometers away without stopping, running hard as if they wanted to break their legs.
"Damn, this fucking world!"
The girl cursed this shitty world in her heart, and ran desperately towards the city wall with other team members.
Her physical strength was not very good, and she could only stay in the middle of the team. Even so, her physical strength was almost overdrawn, and she couldn't even maintain the rhythm of breathing, and she was gasping for breath.
"Hulu--"
A low snoring sound like a drum came from behind the crowd.
A colorful black shadow appeared from the end of the horizon like a predatory monster, and chased behind the crowd slowly like a cat playing with its prey.
The monster was covered with black and white spots all over its body, crawling on the ground with eight legs, with a total of six irregular eyes on its body. Its huge body was five meters long and more than two meters high, which was completely beyond the range of firearms.
Its eyes flashed with a humane and evil light. At its speed, it would only take a few minutes to catch up with a group of humans, and it could easily bring them despair, but it didn't do that. It just played with the prey in front of it like a cat playing with a mouse.
It wanted to burst out and rush up at the moment before the group of humans reached the city wall, and bring them the deepest despair at the moment when they saw the hope of survival.
"Huh?"
It suddenly let out a low hum.
The eyes, which were different in height and front and back, suddenly caught a human figure approaching from a distance, and the target seemed to be the city wall.
Is there anyone else?
"Captain, there is someone over there!"
The guard hanging at the end of the team wanted to confirm the distance of the monster, but unexpectedly saw a human figure in the distance when he turned around, and hurriedly spoke.
"Refugees?"
"It's already this time, who cares about refugees!"
"Let's escape from the monster first!"
The guards didn't even look back, just ran away.
At this time, they had no time to care about refugees at all, and it was good enough to survive.
Only the female captain in the team heard what she thought of, turned her head and looked behind her, and her tired dark eyes suddenly brightened a little at this moment.
"No, it might be... the magician over there, please lend a hand to save us!"
She suddenly increased the volume and shouted for help to the figure in the distance at the loudest voice.
"Captain?"
"Is it a magician?"
"How could there be one in the wild..."
The team members shook their heads.
Even those powerful magicians would die in the monster's belly if they encountered a monster in the wild.
Of all the magicians they knew, no one would be stupid enough to walk alone in the wild. Even magicians had to gather together before they dared to walk in the wild.
Although magicians are strong, they are still fragile humans.
But the next moment, the performance of the figure in the distance broke the inherent cognition they had formed for decades since they were born.
The figure suddenly accelerated and ran at a speed more terrifying than a high-speed train. The figure in their eyes visibly changed from sesame to red bean.
Not long after, in a gust of wind, he came to their side like an extremely agile cheetah.
"Are you the Tokyo City Guard?"
The man slowed down beside them and ran parallel to them.
But what frightened them was that this person had just run several hundred meters in a few seconds, and now he looked calm and composed.
Is this guy really a human?
Is he really not a monster in human skin?
"That's right!"
While the other team members were shocked by their performance, the black-haired girl captain was shocked, and her depressed expression gradually brightened.
"There are monsters chasing us, please help save us!"
"Monsters..."
Roy snorted without comment.
These guys have nothing to do with him. With his mood, he doesn't want to care about such trivial matters at all. He won't frown even if he sees them die in the monster's mouth.
"This time the situation is special, I will help you this time."
So saying.
Roy kicked his feet, turned his body, and shot out to the back like an arrow from a string.
"Let's go and help too!"
The captain of the girl called the team members. She seemed to have a high prestige. When she raised her arm and called, the team members gritted their teeth and followed her to charge at the monster.
But unfortunately, they didn't have a chance to show off.
Roy rushed nearly a kilometer in just a few seconds at an unimaginable speed and came to the front of the monster.
The monster had noticed him a long time ago. At first, he didn't take him seriously, and then he was frightened by his terrible speed. When he saw him rushing towards him, he immediately reacted.
Its eight spider-like claws grasped the ground tightly, and a white sticky ball nearly as big as a water tank was squirmed out of its mouth.
The moment the sphere was ejected, it spread out like a spider web and covered Roy.
Roy's face showed no emotion. He put his hand on his waist and a white blade wrapped in the dark flames of purgatory appeared in his hand.
With just one swing of the knife, the spider web was cut and burned.
The monster showed a human-like look of surprise. It never expected that its spider web, which even a magician could not do anything about, would be cut and burned by this man.
It realized that it might have provoked a monster that should not be provoked, and immediately wanted to turn around and run away, but saw the man step forward and a knife flashed like a stream of light.
Immediately afterwards, it was dark in front of its eyes and it was no longer unconscious.
