Chapter 40: Encountering Pursuers: The Humorous Escape of Faust and Zhialu. [39]
Summary
In this chapter, Faust attempts to hijack a car but is unsuccessful due to his overly polite approach, leading to the driver fleeing in fear after seeing Zhialu's spear. Zhialu takes over, asking to borrow cars more aggressively. Faust reveals his driving skills taught by Orson, but they quickly find themselves in a near-accident as Faust drives recklessly. As they are pursued, Zhialu uses her siege crossbow to fend off attackers, causing significant damage along the way. Despite being hit by a crossbow bolt, Zhialu continues to shoot at their pursuers, ultimately collapsing a statue to block the road. They arrive at a commercial street where armed drones appear, but the duo is rescued by a group led by Ino, who is associated with Orson. Zhialu is treated for her wounds, and Ino expresses his admiration for Orson while asking about Zhialu’s interactions with him, showing a hint of interest in her relationship with Orson. Continuing towards the signal tower, Zhialu navigates danger from mercenaries but receives help from Ai Sa Ke, an engineer sent by Orson. He provides her with a security card allowing access to the city-state's broadcast system, urging her to hurry while they hold back the attackers. Upon reaching the control room of the signal tower, Zhialu prepares to send critical messages to alert allies about a political threat. Suddenly, she is confronted by an assassin from the Emperor's Inner Guard, who intends to kill her. Just as the assassin attacks, a mysterious figure, General Herak, intervenes, revealing a connection to Zhialu's family, thus adding complexity to the conflict as tensions rise around them.Full content
