"What? You want to die romantically when disaster strikes? Go get them and hack them all to death!" The officer sneered and waved his hand to give the order. He had been ordered to kill without mercy and not to leave any survivors, which made his task much easier.

But at that moment, Dure and Winry broke through the window and jumped out!

“This idiot, I already told you the outside is blocked off, he can’t escape at all… What?” The officer rushed to the window. He originally thought the two men were trying to jump out of the window and escape the villa. There were forty men waiting outside, all of them musketeers.

But when he saw the scene outside the window clearly, he was shocked, because the boy had not landed steadily on the ground.

He was sliding down a zipline, directly from the window into a building outside the villa!

"What's going on? Damn it, don't let him get away! Chase after him! Musketeers, fire! Fire!" the officer shouted furiously.

He originally thought this arrest was a sure thing and that he would make a great contribution, but who would have thought it would turn out like this!

At the same time, a family was having dinner in a three-story building outside the villa.

"Honey, the security situation in Rock City hasn't been good lately. They're arresting people everywhere. You have to be careful," the housewife warned.

"Don't worry, we're so close to General Shanlong's villa. Even if those soldiers arrest people randomly, they won't come here. As long as we stay at home, no trouble will come knocking on our door," a middle-aged man assured him confidently.

"Huh? Father, what's that outside? It looks like someone is flying over." A child pointed out the window in surprise.

"How is that possible? Humans don't have wings, how could they fly in...?" The man initially didn't think much of it.

But when he heard the sound of glass shattering, he turned around and stared wide-eyed at the two people lying on the ground.

"I'm so sorry to have disturbed your meal. Please continue. Goodbye." The boy bowed apologetically.

He quickly grabbed a girl in a cloak who looked panicked and hurriedly left.

"Father, they don't have wings, how did they fly in?" the child asked curiously.

"Honey, we didn't go out, but trouble still seems to have come our way..." the housewife said worriedly.

"Shut up, all of you! Hey, you broke my window, aren't you going to pay for it?" the man shouted.

Soon a silver coin came running back, and he caught it.

"That's more like it, but... what exactly is going on?" He looked at the silver coins in his hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he looked out the window and saw guards rushing through the streets, firing their guns from time to time, with "bang bang" sounds of gunfire.

Considering security issues, he specifically spent a lot of money to buy a house outside General Shanlong's villa.

But now it seems that this deal wasn't very worthwhile.

Give me 610 clothes

Du Lei escaped the area of ​​the Mountain Villa with Wen Li, but that did not mean they were safe. A large number of guards came after them. Not only that, but the guards patrolling the streets also surrounded them after hearing the commotion. For a time, they were caught in a dangerous situation with multiple enemies attacking them from all sides.

Fortunately, the street was much wider than the villa in the mountains, and with the heavy rain as cover, the two of them hurriedly retreated through the alley. Behind them, the guards pursued relentlessly, occasionally raising their gunpowder guns to fire at them. For Du Lei, it was still a perilous situation.

"They're over there! Quickly go around them and block them! We absolutely cannot let them escape! We've given a death order!" the guards shouted. In the pouring rain, pairs of brand-new leather boots splashed water droplets as they stepped into the puddles on the ground.

Dure had memorized the streets and alleys of Rock City long ago. Even though he had only been there for a few days, the map of Rock City already appeared in his mind. However, there were just too many guards. He finally managed to shake off a group of pursuers, but another person rushed towards him from around the corner just ahead.

The uniformed soldier acted decisively; he immediately raised his flintlock pistol and fired at the charging teenagers!

"Oh no!" Du Lei thought to himself, he hadn't expected the guard to suddenly appear, and he instinctively rushed in front of Wen Li to try to block him.

"Huh? Why didn't it fire?" The guard had already assumed a firing stance, but the bullet didn't fly out as he expected. Just as he was stunned, the boy in front of him rushed over and punched him in the neck, causing him to fall to the left.

That wasn't all; the boy then struck him in the back with his elbow, knocking him to the ground in a puddle in a single exchange.

"Hurry up!" Dure grabbed Wenli's hand and ran away quickly, as another group of guards rushed over from the right.

A guard raised a gunpowder gun and fired, the bullets whizzing past Dure's clothes.

"Ouch!" Just then, Winry suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground, forcing Dure to stop.

"What happened? Were you hit?" Du Lei immediately crouched down to check on her condition, the heavy rain drenching him.

"No, I just twisted my ankle..." Wenli shook her head gently, biting her lip with some self-reproach.

She clearly didn't want to hold him back, but now things have turned out like this.

“Then I’ll carry you on my back, hurry up!” Dure squatted down, gesturing for Wenli to lie on his back.

“But wouldn’t that be a burden to you, Mr. Dure? Mr. Dure, you don’t need to worry about me…” Winry shook her head.

"I told you to hurry up! If you get caught, I'll still have to come and rescue you anyway, so stop dawdling and get going!" Du Lei roared.

He had never shown this side of himself in front of Winnie before, which startled her.

"They're over there, you go over there, you come with me, we absolutely can't let them escape!" The pursuers were close behind, and the gunshots were intermittent. Under the heavy rain, most of the gunpowder guns were damp and could not be used properly.

"Damn it, this can't go on..." Dure sped up and ran, but Wenli was right about one thing: to some extent, she had indeed become a burden. Faced with the relentless pursuers, he was gradually losing his strength.

He knew very well that if things continued this way, both he and Winnie would be caught!

"Come this way!" Just then, Du Lei noticed someone waving at him from the alley on his left, and he was taken aback.

He quickly recognized her as a girl who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old; he had seen her before.

It was none other than Gruffy, the daughter of the old blacksmith Gruffy from the blacksmith shop.

"How did you end up here?" Dure frowned; he didn't recall having Grufie in the plan.

"I don't have time to explain to you, come with me!" Glofi gestured for Dure and the other man to follow her.

“No, there are too many pursuers. If we go with you, we'll be targeted by them, and you'll be in danger too. Here, you take her and leave this place!” Du Lei thought for a moment and made a decision in the shortest amount of time.

"Then what are you going to do?" Grufi looked at Dure, who had a gloomy expression, quite different from when she first saw him.

"I'm sure I have a way to escape. Don't hesitate, they're catching up. Hurry up!" Du Lei urged anxiously.

“But Mr. Durley…” Winry still didn’t want to leave like this.

"There are no 'buts'! Didn't I just say I wanted you to leave?" Du Lei shouted.

"I...I'm leaving now..." Winry was a little scared by his shouting and could only leave with Grufi.

"Wait a minute." Du Lei suddenly remembered something and called out to her.

"Mr. Dure, would you allow me to stay?"

"No, take off your clothes and give them to me."

"what?"

"No time to explain, hurry up and take this off and give it to me. Okay, that's enough, let's go!" Dure took the black cloak that Wenli had taken off from her hands and draped it over his back.

Although Grufie and Winry didn't understand his intentions, they could only hurry along in the heavy rain.

The two quickly disappeared into the alley.

Meanwhile, Dure ran wildly, his cloak billowing in the wind, making it look as if he were carrying someone on his back.

"They're over there, don't let him get away!" The pursuers caught sight of the target again, and they split into several small teams to surround and capture him.

“You guys are really persistent. But now that the hesitant guy is gone, I can fight you all without restraint. I remember that thing was hidden around here... That’s it, there’s no mistake!” Du Lei sprinted forward.

He entered what is now an alley, opened the lid of a nearby trash can, and took something out.

"He's here! Hehe, kid, you can't escape now. You've fallen into my hands, and this time you're guaranteed a promotion and a fortune!" Someone blocked his way at the alley entrance, and a soldier raised his gun and aimed at Du Lei. At the same time as issuing the death order, a bounty was also issued.

The bounty on the wanted poster was an enviable figure, and in his opinion, dealing with this brat would be an easy task.

"I advise you to make way for me. If you insist on blocking my path, then the only outcome is... death!" Du Lei suddenly raised a large crossbow and aimed it at the guard. Before the guard could react, the sharp crossbow bolt shot out and pierced his throat!

611 disappeared

The chase continued amidst the torrential rain. The boy, wielding a large crossbow, ran through the dark rain. A few pedestrians had been passing by on the street, but they were quickly frightened by the scene of the chase. Residents living nearby also closed their windows to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"He's over there! Don't let him escape!" The pursuers were hot on their heels, determined to capture the boy.

As the boy ran, he kept reloading his crossbow, and every time he turned around and pulled the trigger, a guard would fall to the ground.

But this was not enough to stop the guards from pursuing him. He was running out of crossbow bolts to fire, and the heavy rain obscured his vision, but it could not stop the spray of water from splashing up as he stepped through the puddles. Seeing the pursuers coming from all directions, he could only run towards the alley ahead.

"Gotcha! Hehehehe, you actually managed to escape from General Shanlong's villa. You've got some skills, huh? But where can you run to now?" At the end of the alley, a man in military uniform blocked his way.

The boy had just experienced a similar scene; the guard who had blocked his path had been shot through the throat by an arrow.

“I’m warning you, you’d better get out of the way, or else…” Dure had already loaded the crossbow bolts; there were only three left.

He was confident he could shoot a hole in the opponent's stomach from this distance because the target was simply too big.

The man was bulky and enormous, almost as big as the mountain dragon he had seen before.

However, Shanlong's bloating came from his height and strength. This man, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, was like a mountain of flesh, swaying back and forth, especially his belly, which was so big that it seemed to contain a hill. He patted his belly with a smile, blocking the exit.

"Otherwise? What will you do then?" The other party chuckled, and just then, his bulky body suddenly moved.

"What?" Du Lei had already aimed at him, but with a gust of wind, the fat man suddenly disappeared.

This startled him. He looked around but couldn't find any trace of the fat man, which gave him a bad feeling.

"Here you are, hehehehe. Your neck must taste delicious. There's a kill order from above, which means you're edible!" The voice descended from the sky, accompanied by a shadow, and a huge mountain of flesh pressed down from the sky, exuding an oppressive aura!

But Du Lei reacted quickly, moving to the right in the first instant. He used the wall for leverage and leaped high into the air.

"Boom!"

The ground where he had just stood was struck by the mountain of flesh, producing a loud bang and causing a substantial collapse. This blow was undeniably ferocious.

If he hadn't run fast enough, he probably would have been crushed to death on the spot by that attack!

"Such speed! And just now... his aura completely disappeared in an instant?" Du Lei recalled the scene just now with lingering fear.

Under normal circumstances, the more obese a person is, the slower they move, because their own weight is a factor.

But the mountain of flesh in front of him moved so fast that it was practically invisible; he couldn't even see how it moved.

They didn't even detect his presence when he moved, even though Dure had lived by hunting in the snowy mountains since childhood and had extremely keen senses.

But now all his skills seem to be useless, as he faces an extremely formidable opponent!

"Huh? You actually dodged it? You're pretty agile. But I wonder if you can dodge it this time?" The other party was also surprised that the boy could dodge his attack. He got up from the ground. Just now, his head had completely sunk into the ground.

After careful observation, Du Lei realized that when he jumped down from the height, he didn't land on his feet, but on his head. The large crater in the ground was made by him smashing his head into the ground!

"Gone again?" Du Lei raised his crossbow to search for the fat man's location, but in the blink of an eye, the latter had vanished once more.
