Phi-Fic Chapter 57 High-Speed Pursuit
Chapter 57 High-Speed Pursuit
"Bastards, I won't let you get away with this!!"
Dora could only rage helplessly as she stood up; if she had just fired, the two little ones wouldn't have been able to escape at all.
As for Liu Yufei, he was just joking around. No matter how crazy he was, he couldn't be serious with the two kids. At this moment, Liu Yufei also got up and leaped across the track.
Seeing that Liu Yufei had seized the initiative, Dora immediately rebuked him angrily:
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and push the truck bed down!!"
"Ah! Yes, Mom!!"
The five of them immediately formed a line!
“嘿咻，嘿咻，嘿咻...”
Dora wasn't idle either, cheering her sons on from the sidelines! ↖(^w^)↗
Seeing that the enemy wasn't chasing them, the driver immediately smiled and said:
"Haha, I've shaken them off!!"
This thrilled him; he'd have another topic to brag about! Sheeta, on the other hand, looked at Pazu with adoration; Pazu had saved her once again.
Just then, Liu Yufei reappeared in the background.
"Uncle, they're chasing us again!!"
"Ah, so fast?"
Keep in mind that there was only one locomotive running at the moment. Without the other carriages dragging it down, the speed was naturally much faster, but Liu Yufei still caught up from behind.
Actually, everyone could see that Liu Yufei wasn't chasing them, but protecting them. It's just that he tried to speak up earlier, but he got punched in the face.
At this moment, Liu Yufei did not intend to chase after it directly, but maintained a certain speed. Just then, Liu Yufei raised his eyebrows and immediately saw the aircraft in the sky.
"Damn, they finally made it? They're so slow!!"
Clearly, the military had finally arrived, and Dora's family on the other side also heard the roar.
"Mom, those guys are here!!"
"Oh no! We need to act quickly, we can't let them get there first!!"
Pazu and Sheeta are truly living a life full of misfortune! They are now being watched by three parties, and at this moment, a fully armed armored train appears in front of the tracks, directly blocking the way of the train.
"Ah! We're saved! Hey, there are two children here who need protection!"
Although the state's control is declining, ordinary people like this uncle still prefer to trust the military. So it stopped immediately; actually, there was no other way, since there's only one track.
"A group of sky pirates are chasing them!!"
Two people got off the military train: a soldier and a secret agent dressed in black. Balu thought he was saved and smiled.
But Sheeta immediately recognized the agent with the black glasses, because he was one of the people who had kidnapped her. Sheeta took a step back and instinctively gripped the Levitation Stone. Pazu also sensed that something was wrong.
“Hida…”
Before Sheeta could even speak, she turned and ran away. The agents, seeing Sheeta escape, immediately gave chase! Pazu, knowing she wasn't a friend, also pursued Sheeta.
"Hida!!"
The driver realized something was wrong and immediately pulled the brake, causing a burst of steam to erupt from the floor of the carriage.
"Ah! You bastard!!"
Meanwhile, Dora's family finally caught up, and with them caught in a pincer movement, Pazu and Sheeta chose to escape through a side road! Dora was a familiar face to the military, and upon seeing her, they immediately launched an attack.
Dora was not to be outdone, and immediately raised her shotgun to retaliate, but the sky pirates were just a bunch of scattered soldiers and were naturally no match for this armored train.
Dora knew she couldn't fight them head-on, and she didn't want to get entangled with the military. She fired a shot into the rails, changing the train's course and heading straight for the fleeing Sheeta and Pazu.
Meanwhile, the military's artillery continued firing, and the railway tracks behind were instantly blasted to pieces.
"Damn it, those bastards!!"
Upon seeing the military lay a hand on the two children, Liu Yufei could no longer contain himself and charged directly at the front of the military vehicle in a swivel motion.
"Sir..."
The train's cannons could only fire horizontally, while Liu Yufei's impact was at a slight angle.
"what!!!"
Liu Yufei's immense force slammed into the locomotive, causing the heavy engine to tilt to the side.
"Ah! The train is going to fall off! Jump off!!"
"what!!"
Puff puff! !
As soon as the locomotive fell, a chain reaction caused the following carriages to be pulled down as well, resulting in immediate chaos.
On the other side, Dora, trailing a cloud of dust, headed straight for Pazu. Just as Dora was about to grab Sheeta's braid, Pazu, holding Sheeta, flipped over and clung to the railway tracks, while Dora's family rushed straight to the other side!
Charles and his entourage immediately ran downstairs, exclaiming in surprise:
"Mom, those two children are going to fall!!"
Compared to the military, these air pirates are much more humane; at least they care about the safety of children.
"Hehe! Don't worry, you won't die!!"
Meanwhile, Pazu, holding Sheeta, clung to the broken tracks. Even with his incredible arm strength, the weight of the two of them caused his fingers to slowly slip away until he could no longer hold on.
"what!!"
"what!!"
Sheeta's life is thrilling; once yesterday, and again today—it's much more exciting than bungee jumping!!
Liu Yufei also saw the two little ones fall, but he didn't try to catch them. Even if something went wrong, it wouldn't matter, since Liu Yufei now controlled the power of life and death.
Five or six soldiers jumped down beforehand. They had been shooting at Liu Yufei with rifles. Liu Yufei was now in a state of having wings on his back, so he was much more agile.
At this moment, because of Balu's fall, all three groups of people stopped in their tracks, and Dora on the other side looked at the two falling people with hopeful eyes.
Suddenly, streaks of azure light appeared in the deep, dark valley, accompanied by the BGM exclusive to the flying stone, and Dora's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
"Oh!!! It finally appeared!!"
Liu Yufei, suspended in mid-air, gazed at the drifting light and murmured:
"Does it require a certain height? Or does it only work in Sheeta's hands?!"
Indeed, at this moment, Liu Yufei saw the magical power of the flying stone and became curious, or rather, greedy, even though he already had the ability to soar through the sky.
The soldiers on this side also showed surprise, and then greed gleamed in their eyes!
Indeed, both the Levitation Stone and Laputa can arouse human desires, only their purposes differ!
The military needs Laputa's gold and courtesy, Muska needs Laputa's honor and divine power, and Dora is also after Laputa's treasure.
Only Pazu, a passionate young man, pursues Laputa solely for his own ideals.
"Hahaha, it really is the power of this stone! It's amazing!!"
Pazu and Shida, holding each other's hands, floated in the air and slowly fell. Pazu was also excited when he saw the light emanating from the levitation stone, but his excitement was different from that of the others.
Pazu excitedly released one hand, and Sheeta immediately gripped Pazu tightly in fear, afraid he would fall. Although it was her levitation stone that had resolved the crisis, Sheeta's sense of security still came from Pazu.
As the ground slowly approached, Sheeta was somewhat incredulous, as it was the first time she had witnessed the power of the Flying Stone. The two boys then exchanged glances.
"It's so dark down there!!"
"Don't worry, just keep going down!"
You have to admit, Balu really knows how to create a good atmosphere! Even at a time like this, he still managed to create a lively atmosphere. At that moment, Liu Yufei rushed down and witnessed this scene.
This dog food was so sweet it made Liu Yufei incredibly jealous! Indeed, living in this world is a curse!
Finally, Sheeta and Pazu landed in an abandoned mine. Compared to Sheeta, this was Pazu's home turf, since he had lived here since childhood and knew how to navigate the mine with his eyes closed.
As the two watched the levitation stone gradually lose its light, Balu took an oil lamp from his satchel.
"It's no longer emitting light?"
"Yes! That's how it was when Sheeta floated down from the sky last time."
Shida looked at the small opening above and said with some worry:
"How are we going to get out? Won't we get in trouble with your master and the driver?"
Sheeta is truly beautiful inside and out! Even when she's in trouble herself, her first thought is for others. Pazu comforted her with a smile:
"Don't worry, Master and the others aren't so easy to deal with. They're old rivals with those soldiers!"
In fact, what Balu said was true. These miners had a lot of dealings with soldiers. Whenever the miners started a workers' movement, these soldiers would also be there, and in the end, they would compromise with each other.
The two children sat down to rest after walking for a short while. After all, the series of investigations had exhausted them, and now that their adrenaline had subsided, they both felt tired.
"Here, have some bread first. There's also an apple and two candies. Let's each have one!"
Sheeta couldn't hide her joy upon seeing the food, as she hadn't eaten anything since falling last night. However, she was mindful of her image and carefully took a bite of bread.
"Ah! Hahahaha..."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Pazu looked at Sheeta and suddenly laughed. Sheeta saw Pazu laugh and happily laughed too. There was no reason. The right time brought the right person. No matter how many dangers lay ahead, this moment belonged to the two of them.
Compared to a world overflowing with materialism, this moment seems to be the true essence of this world. And Pazu and Sheeta are like Adam and Eve.
Although they had only known each other for a day, they had already reached a level of understanding that didn't make them blush. Unlike the hormonal surge of adults, this was a sublimation from the depths of their souls.
And we, after washing away the superficialities, should think carefully about how long it has been since we blushed. Why is all this happening? It's not because we've grown up, nor because we've gained anything.
It's not that we've lost it, but that when we look back, if we feel a sense of emptiness, it proves that you can still hold onto the tail end of your youth!
But most people don't realize it, they don't know how they lost it, and it's as if they never gained it at all! Seeing those couples who are all lovey-dovey on the street, they go from envy to indifference, and from indifference to disdain.
You think you've seen through the true meaning of love, but in the end it all just vanishes like smoke. It's just that some memories we don't want to revisit, or dare to revisit, until we lose our souls and become walking corpses.
