When they came, there were three of them, but when they went back, only Yan Luo and Sasa were left.

Yan Luo gripped the steering wheel, driving the armored vehicle, racing through the wilderness.

At this moment, Sasa suddenly asked, "Earlier when Li Xinyue wanted to kiss you, why did you stop her?"

Yan Luo replied, "With my reaction speed, it's impossible not to react. From the moment she took off my helmet, I knew what she intended to do. I don't have any romantic feelings for Li Xinyue. She's my friend, and I don't want to give her false hope and hurt her heart."

Sasa helplessly glanced sideways. "But now, Li Xinyue seems to like you even more."

Yan Luo fell silent, unsure of what to say.

He couldn't understand Li Xinyue's feelings. At that time, Li Xinyue must have mustered up the courage, so stopping her kiss would have deflated her, right?

But why does Li Xinyue seem to like him more than before?

This doesn't make sense.

Yan Luo silently drove, pondering over this matter in his mind.

"Once we return to Crimson No.2, you'll have to head back to the Crimson Abyss."

Sasa moved past the previous topic with one sentence and instead asked, "Will you still act like you did before?"

Yan Luo nodded, "Next, I have to make every effort to strengthen my magnetic field, striving to gain the ability to fly early."

Not every enemy will be like Wang Zhengxian, providing him with a weightless state to give him the chance to fly.

With Yan Luo's current physical capabilities, he can withstand the pressure after increasing his speed to supersonic and still react in time. The issue is that he cannot yet surpass the speed of sound.

Yan Luo's fastest running speed is only 80 meters per second, and he cannot maintain it for more than three seconds. His average running speed is only 61 meters per second.

To break the sound barrier, he needs to increase his speed by six times his current rate, but to do so, he must increase his muscle strength. But the more muscle strength he gains, the heavier he becomes, which hinders the conversion of muscle strength into speed.

As of now, Yan Luo is already the fastest-running carbon-based lifeform on the surface of Blue Star. In fact, he is faster than many vehicles.

Reaching the speed of sound by running is extremely difficult, but fortunately, the brief flight last time made Yan Luo realize there are other ways he can surpass the speed of sound.

And that is flying!

By aligning the body's magnetic field with the Earth's magnetic field and leveraging the planet's rotation, Yan Luo's speed can not only surpass the speed of sound; if his body can endure it, he could even reach speeds exceeding Mach 5.

When his body's magnetic field is enhanced to the point of enabling flight, his physical capabilities should be more than three times stronger than they are now, and at that time, his body could indeed withstand the pressure of five times the speed of sound.

Yan Luo couldn't help but start imagining how powerful he would be at that time.

......

It takes five days to travel from Crimson No.2 to Celestial Sea City, but only three days to return to Lingquan City.

Initially, it took five days because Yan Luo and his team were not familiar with the route. Now, familiar with it, they can avoid unnecessary battles, naturally speeding up their journey.

On their way back to Crimson No.2, Yan Luo and his team passed Lingquan City.

Seeing the towering city from afar, Yan Luo intended not to stop but to bypass Lingquan City and drive straight towards Crimson No.2.

However, things didn't go as planned.

Under the city's protective shield, a tall building caught fire. Although from where Yan Luo stood, the fire appeared insignificant, in his eyes, the high-rise building also appeared quite small.

"There seems to be a fire in the city," Yan Luo mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Sasa was momentarily stunned, then immediately told Yan Luo to put on a fully enclosed helmet while she opened her personal terminal to access Lingquan City's network to check the news.

The next moment, Sasa screamed, "An Abyss Entrance appeared in the city?!"

Yan Luo's eyes sharpened instantly. He turned the steering wheel and pushed the armored vehicle's speed to its limit, rushing towards Lingquan City.

Seeing Yan Luo's actions, Sasa's mouth opened, yet she didn't stop him.

Because she knew that no matter what she said now, Yan Luo wouldn't stop.

As Yan Luo sped towards Lingquan City, soldiers at multiple city gate checkpoints received orders from higher-ups and immediately geared up.

Fortunately, they typically undergo training exercises and periodically venture out of the city to eradicate mutant creatures; otherwise, they might panic and be unable to arm themselves properly.

"Quick, quick, quick! Move faster!"

Except for leaving a few soldiers on guard, everyone else had to rush into the urban area.

The city's stationed troops and police began advancing toward the newly appeared Abyss Entrance within the city. Their orders were to block that Abyss Entrance and await support from the Hunters at Crimson No.2.

In the Abyss, the Hunters are the experts.

All retired Hunters who could still move and those taking leave in Lingquan City were mobilized, determined to close the Abyss in the shortest time possible.

Just then, an armored vehicle came speeding from outside the city.

"Is it the Hunter brothers coming for support?"

Soldiers guarding the checkpoint saw the heavy armored vehicle exclusively used by Hunters and opened the gate from afar, allowing the armored vehicle to pass through.

However, the checkpoint's camera captured the upper half of the armored vehicle driver through the car window.

Even though Yan Luo wore a fully enclosed helmet, the artificial intelligence still identified him by his muscles and physique.

[Warning! Super-wanted criminal Yan Luo identified! Warning! Super-wanted criminal Yan Luo identified! Please implement arrest immediately! Please implement arrest immediately!]

"Huh?"

The soldier who opened the gate was stunned at once.

Before he could react, Yan Luo had already accelerated into Lingquan City.

After he charged in, the checkpoint soldiers were about to set out in vehicles.

The soldier in charge of the gate quickly informed the squad preparing to support inside the city of the situation that just happened. After a moment of thought, the squad leader gritted his teeth, "Damn it, ignore that bullshit warning! Yan Luo's also a Hunter, and any additional help is good right now!"

The alarm 'Yan Luo has entered Lingquan City' echoed throughout the Lingquan City police and military systems, but did they have time to care about those things right now?

"Push on! Everyone, push on!"

Behind the stacked barricades, an officer wielding a squad machine gun fired at the Demons surging out of the portal, shouting loudly, "We can't retreat! We cannot retreat! We must hold this place, or this part of the city will be done for! Where are the Hunters? Haven't the Hunters arrived yet?!"

The tense evacuation was underway, as people abandoned all their belongings, bringing nothing, and hurriedly retreated under the government's guidance.

"Mom!"

"Where's my son? Lilong, where are you? Answer Daddy!"

"Quiet! Stay calm! Don't crowd! Our soldiers are withstanding the Demons' attack, large-scale reinforcements are on the way, we have plenty of time to evacuate! Stop squeezing!!"

"Let me go first! I'm Committee Member Li's brother! Let me go first!"

The crowded, jostling, noisy mass of people resembled a long snake, filling the wide streets, with each face bearing fear and despair, cries and screams spreading throughout the crowd.

Police in hover cars accelerated to the scene, and the city's military deployed every weapon available for urban use, crazily rushing towards the newly appeared Abyss Entrance within the city.

The chaotic atmosphere not only existed in the district where the Abyss Entrance appeared but radiated outward from that district, creating a traffic jam.

Under such conditions, the supporting military forces couldn't reach the destination at maximum speed.

Glancing at the road conditions ahead, Yan Luo said to Sasa beside him, "I'll park the car on the side, then dash over to support, next..."

"Don't worry, I'll handle myself," Sasa gestured an OK sign to Yan Luo.

Yan Luo nodded, opened the car door, and got out, lifting his stifling helmet to breathe fresh air.

The next second, Yan Luo's body leapt into the sky, skimming over the congested traffic, using all his strength to run towards the direction of the Abyss Entrance.

Sasa also got out of the car, looking worriedly at Yan Luo's back.

However, for Yan Luo, this was also an opportunity.

If Yan Luo survived, no one would pursue the issue of him publicly killing She Wuyou anymore.

Thinking of this, Sasa couldn't help but wonder.

What exactly happened? Why did an Abyss Entrance suddenly appear in the city?
