Ark Undead

So when she saw the road was blocked, her face turned pale with fright.

If they actually crashed into each other, the motorcycle would be completely destroyed, and neither she nor Texas would survive.

But Texas was, after all, an experienced driver. Especially in her line of work, being attacked in the car was a common occurrence.

When she saw so many people blocking the way, she immediately looked around and found that there were no other roads for the two of them to turn around, so she made a decision without hesitation.

She used her lightsaber to cut through the support holding the box and pressed it into Exusiai's arms.

"Hold on tight! Don't lose it!"

Texas grabbed Exusiai by the waist, held her body firmly, and then pushed off with both feet wherever they could, sending the two of them flying to the side.

Texas hugged Exusiai tightly, and Exusiai instinctively hugged the box tightly. The two bodies crashed into the shop on the side.

The shelf was knocked over, and the two rolled on the ground for quite a distance before they vaguely heard a loud crash coming from outside the store!

The motorcycle had already changed direction due to the force left by the two people when they suddenly left, and since no one was steering, it overturned and continued to slide forward.

The extremely high speed caused the steel to rub against the ground, sparking dazzling flashes of light. The motorcycle's exterior suffered obvious dents and scratches before it crashed violently into the vehicles of the Royal Guard police that were parked in place.

boom!

Even the modified police car, with its increased load-bearing capacity, was forced back a meter or two by the impact.

Chen watched this scene unfold, then involuntarily shook his head.

This wasn't the first or second time something like this had happened. She knew who the red-haired girl was and also knew about the Penguin Logistics company.

The most frequent speeding tickets issued by the Konoebu (National Guard Bureau) were for items sent to this company.

However, just when Chen thought the matter was almost over, a large group of motorcycles appeared in the direction from which Exusiai and the others had come.

Those people were also waving weapons that looked like spiked clubs and flails, and they were making unintelligible screams.

Chen immediately shouted out.

"Everyone scatter and find a safe place!"

Even Lin Guang was pulled aside by Chen.

Just kidding! If these guys actually crash into us, the interceptors deployed by the Royal Guard might be able to stop them. But the police and residents stationed nearby will definitely be affected as well.

Even though the Guard Bureau's duty is to stop these people who disrupt the city's rules, they shouldn't be injured on the job so easily!

Things really did turn out exactly as Chen had predicted.

These biker gang members seem to be out of their minds; they have no intention of jumping off the bike at all.

So when the first motorcycle crashed into the police car, a series of chain reactions ensued.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

A series of motorcycles were suddenly stopped, blocked by their companions' motorcycles, and one by one they were forced to stop.

People were constantly being thrown into the air, then crashing onto the hood of a police car in front of them, or onto the ground of a nearby shop.

Even the guy on the motorcycle at the very front was flung more than ten meters behind the interception line, rolling on the ground more than ten times before coming to a stop.

However, the most serious chain reaction is only just beginning.

When all the locomotives collide, naturally some locomotives will be unable to withstand the pressure, resulting in damage to their internal structures, instability, and energy leakage.

Then, accompanied by a sound that seemed to come from nowhere.

laugh...

A series of explosions were instantly triggered by this faint sound of Originium leaking.

The deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire block, and the flames caused everyone in the area to turn around and close their eyes.

The key point is that the energy that drives the locomotives and these vehicles is Originium.

When Originium is in an unstable state, an explosion can cause the concentration of Originium in the air to exceed the standard in almost the entire area affected by the explosion.

At this moment, Chen immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Cover your nose and mouth!"

Unfortunately, Chen's voice was drowned out by the sounds of the series of explosions.

Before many police officers could react, the shockwave from the explosion sent them flying, while also causing people still standing in the block to fall backward and land on their backsides.

The sound of the explosion could probably be heard throughout the entire downtown area.

The fire and the leak of Originium plunged the entire neighborhood into the most dangerous situation.

"Cough cough!"

Lin Guang was pulled down by Officer Chen and pressed to the ground. When she stood up, her ears were ringing.

The explosion was not only a shock in terms of sound, but also a surge in the amount of Originium. She felt a tightness in her chest, and using her Originium Arts under such circumstances would undoubtedly increase her energy consumption.

But she still raised her right hand, took out the weapon she carried from her waist, and held the warhammer in her hand. The warhammer in front of her quickly spread out, forming a heavy double-edged hammer.

"Hold on!"

As Lin Guang spoke, she activated her Originium Arts.

Pale golden light shone from the hammer, illuminating the police officers around her.

Nearl's Originium Arts can enhance the physical strength of her companions to a certain extent and also alleviate pain.

Chen and Hoshiguma were already in good physical condition, and with the help of Shinichi, their previously dazed minds cleared up.

"it's over?"

Chen reached out and slapped his cheek; the slight stinging sensation cleared his mind.

"It's over, the explosions are over. Such an explosion shouldn't have been caused by just one piece of equipment, but rather by a series of explosions."

As Lin Guang spoke, he reached out his left hand and pulled Chen up.

On the other side, Hoshiguma also stood up and grasped the Hannya in her right hand.

She lowered her head and coughed softly twice, her long hair hanging down, and then clenched her fists and pounded her chest twice.

"It's not safe here. The Originium content in the air is too high. We need to leave immediately."

As Lin Guang spoke, he began searching for any surviving police officers.

Chen and Hoshiguma paused for a moment, then joined in.

Before long, the group gathered the remaining officers who were still able to move and settled them outside the cordon. Chen then immediately gave instructions to the officers who had come to provide support.

"Quickly find professionals to come and see if they can recover the Originium that has escaped from the air. If we really ignore it, the entire Lungmen will be at risk of having excessive levels of Originium in the air for some time to come."

As he spoke, Chen took a gas mask from one of the police officers and put it on his head.

Hoshiguma took both and handed one to Nearl beside her.

"Also, we need to get the medical team here. A few of us reacted quickly, so it's okay. But many police officers didn't react in time and will probably need Originium blocking drugs."

Chen patted the officer beside him on the shoulder and urged him on.

"Hurry up! Hoshiguma and I will go back and see if we can find anything. If anything else goes wrong, contact Swire, who is stationed at the Lungmen Guard Bureau."

"Yes!"

The police officers who arrived to provide support nodded, immediately took out their communicators, and began to mobilize the reserve police force throughout Lungmen.

Chen then turned around and nodded to Hoshiguma Rinko, who had put on a gas mask.

The three returned to the scene of the explosion.

Upon returning to the scene of the explosion, the group witnessed a horrific car accident and a dozen or so bodies.

Most of them were bikers who didn't have time to escape, but there were also police officers who were affected by the explosion.

"Logically speaking, motorcycles designed for the market should not explode."

Chen crouched down and looked at the motorcycles that had been blown to smithereens. She frowned.

"After all, it's powered by Originium, so for safety reasons, even in the event of a chain-reaction car accident, the possibility of an explosion is very small, unless something changes its stability."

"You haven't experienced it, Old Chen, you don't know what these guys are really after."

Hoshiguma picked up a broken part and shook her head.

"These guys are already barely clinging to life at the brink of death. As long as they can get a thrill, why wouldn't they keep increasing their speed? Besides, these people probably don't have the money to afford to install more security measures."

"So here's the key point: I remember there haven't been any large-scale incidents like those involving biker gangs in the past six months. And even if there were, they wouldn't be so brazenly appearing in the slums."

Chen thought for a moment.

"Would the Rat King allow such a thing to happen? Didn't he set rules for the slums?"

"This probably has nothing to do with the Rat King."

Hoshiguma took two steps to the side and saw a person who was still alive.

The other party was a biker gang member who was blasted against a wall by the explosion, but still retained basic consciousness.

Hoshiguma dragged the man to a safer spot and patted his cheek.

"Hey, can you still talk?"

"?" The man's mind was in a daze. Hoshiguma asked him something, but he didn't answer. His eyes darted around aimlessly in their sockets, and he didn't seem to have recovered yet.

"Forget it, these guys probably won't say anything now. Let's wait until the others arrive and then we'll pull them together and interrogate them properly."

Chen abandoned his plan to extract information from this guy.

Just as everyone stood up from beside this guy, two figures walked out of the shop next door.

Exusiai helped Texas struggle out of the wrecked store.

Texas had just taken the brunt of the impact to protect Exusiai, and she was the one who shielded Exusiai from the shockwave when the explosion occurred.

Texas wasn't in good shape, and Exusiai was getting anxious when she saw three people looking at her.

"Officer Chen... Officer Chen."

Exusiai gave a somewhat embarrassed smile. Under normal circumstances, Officer Chen and Officer Hoshiguma would probably be quite lenient and would at most issue a ticket and let the person go.

But the current situation...

Moreover, the situation in Texas isn't very safe either, so we need to find a place to check on her first.
