Chapter 1 He Brothers

He Brothers was the first to jump into the driver's seat. For the sake of speed and convenience, he even tore the car door open. Then, he slammed the accelerator to the floor!

The Ford Raptor's engine suddenly roared ferociously, its exhaust pipes belching out thick plumes of black smoke. The tires spun wildly, screeching as they lost traction, billowing out dense clouds of blue smoke before surging forward in an instant. Mud and water clinging to the tires were flung off, spraying more than ten meters away.

Just as the vehicle accelerated, Fang Senyan, as if timing it perfectly, leaped into the truck bed with an old man who had already fainted. Although the impact sent everything inside flying, he successfully boarded. Amidst his shouts, everyone found something to hold onto and gripped it tightly.

But the powerful mudslide had already begun to encroach on the town's outer edges, advancing resolutely with a calm, stubborn, and utterly invincible force! Buildings, whether they appeared dilapidated or sturdy, were completely unable to withstand the mudslide's impact. They collapsed like a stack of blocks.

He Brothers' foot seemed welded to the accelerator from the moment he floored it. The pickup, carrying the fate of everyone aboard, hurtled along the town's roads like an angry dragon, spraying mud at least two to three meters high in its wake. The engine roared desperately, and anything that stood in its path, like cars, was violently smashed aside! Of course, the resulting turbulence caused some of the passengers in the truck bed to vomit violently, and they began trying to tie themselves to the vehicle.

Although the mudslide appeared slow from a distance, when it drew near, one could feel the urgency of every second. As dawn broke, it was clear that with every inch the mudslide relentlessly advanced, the space for human survival was squeezed a little tighter. It truly was a race against death!

As the mudslide approached, the noise became deafening. Watching hundreds or thousands of tons of rock rumble and smash down in the turbid current like toys was a display of power that made it seem as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse! So much so that the residents of Fox Town, who had clearly escaped to safety, still ran frantically outwards, as if the further away they were, the better.

The air was thick with the intense stench of mud and the faint fragrance of crushed pine wood. Seeing the Ford Raptor in the distance speeding towards them with a surf-like precariousness, many people felt their hearts clench.

The reason the area where they were standing had been designated as safe was because of a deep ravine. The ravine was about twenty meters wide, but the drop was at least two hundred meters. After the mudslide flowed there, its width had reached its limit. Even if occasional rapids appeared, they would all roll down into the abyss.

Therefore, as long as He Brothers could drive across the highway bridge spanning the ravine, they could be considered safe.

However, although the highway bridge looked fine, the elevated piers had already been cracked by the impact of several large rocks. If it weren't for Kulu Teguo's ability to reinforce it, it would have been in imminent danger... Fortunately, it now seemed that the Ford pickup's driving skills and speed had been pushed to an exceptionally high level, often avoiding dangerous situations at critical moments. Several times it had been swept into the mudslide, but it had stubbornly charged out of the mud like an angry horse.

This seemed miraculous, but for Mogansha, who could calculate the trajectory of bullets, it was not difficult to avoid the stones wrapped in the mud. He even performed a near-miraculous driving feat less than fifty meters from the highway bridge—anyone else would have slammed on the accelerator at this time, but Mogansha chose to slam on the brakes, letting the vehicle be submerged in the mud again amidst the screeching sound of tires.

The cost of doing so was that the car disappeared in the mud for several seconds, but the benefit was even more obvious - if the car hadn't braked for those few seconds, it would have collided head-on with a rolling boulder at least the size of a three-story villa!

Alice Cullen, standing on an Alaskan redwood tree in the distance, couldn't help but murmur:

"That bastard's nerves must be made of steel wire!"

Her parent, Carlisle Cullen, said with a solemn expression:

"No, these are people who have to face death for a long time. Only in this way can they be so calm in the face of life and death! Huh!!"

Carlisle Cullen suddenly turned his head and looked away, his gaze drifting as if he were watching the clouds in the sky, or staring at the rain in the air, or watching the nothingness of fate. Even the face of this old vampire, who had lived since 1640 AD, turned pale in an instant! Horror! Panic!!

"This power... could it be the power to change fate? So powerful, and so awe-inspiring! How could this power be mixed with human will!?"

*

After waiting for two point three seconds, He Brothers stepped on the accelerator again. He knew that if he was even half a second slower, a rock the size of a millstone rushing down from above would be enough to cause serious damage to the car.

The powerful engine roared again, and the vehicle violently broke through the mud again, like an angry horse unwilling to accept its fate. Seeing that the distance to the highway bridge was less than ten meters away, time seemed to freeze...

The Ford Raptor has always been a classic pickup under Ford. The overall frame of the car is stamped from high-strength steel. This not only improves the durability of the body, but also further guarantees the safety of passengers. Not only that, with the help of advarac and rsc (anti-rollover stability control system) technology, off-road capabilities have reached the top level, with a maximum output of 400hp and a peak torque of 400 pound-feet, making the overall performance even more powerful. It is known as the world's most powerful off-road pickup.

However, at this moment, as if by coincidence, when the Ford Raptor was struggling to pass through the giant pit smashed out by the previous rock, a flat rock the size of a face basin hit the muddy water pit next to it with a spin. A large splash of mud and water splashed up, but, just at this time, another rock blocked the front of the splashed mud and water.

Due to the angle, these mud and water happened to produce a strange refraction, which happened to circumvent the car's carefully designed waterproof system, and poured into the Ford Raptor's exhaust pipe! At this critical moment, He Brothers also retracted the accelerator because he was avoiding the stones in front, and the engine, which was still roaring loudly, stalled in an instant. This behemoth, which was specially used to deal with harsh terrain, glided slowly for seven or eight meters, and then the engine made a choking sound like a dying old man, slowly and unwillingly stopping.

At this time, the Ford Raptor was only five or six meters away from the highway bridge!

Even more frightening was that, above this pickup, a giant rock with a diameter of more than five or six meters rolled down with a bang, slamming down with a lot of mud!!

All of this was like a long-planned conspiracy and trap! It could even be said to be God's will!

In this situation, Fang Senyan and Mogansha might escape, but the ten or so people in the car could not escape. However, after going through all the hardships to get here, they had failed, and of course they were not willing to accept it? If they were unwilling, then they might do something irrational.

For example, like the current Fang Senyan, he jumped out of the car at the first moment it stalled! He raised his hands high! Did he want to go against the heavens?

A dazzling deep green light radiated from those hands, almost stinging and blinding the eyes of the Cullen vampire family in this instant.

Then a huge mechanical gauntlet appeared on those hands, with various parts rotating strangely in different directions, spewing out black smoke, grabbing the Ford Raptor, which was heavily loaded and weighed up to four tons, and throwing it hard towards the highway bridge!

The giant pickup was thrown more than ten meters away, making a hoarse and ear-piercing sound of violent friction in front of the road bridge, and even shooting out a series of sparks. Finally, it stopped horizontally on the highway bridge.

And Fang Senyan, a few seconds after throwing the vehicle, was directly swept into the lower reaches by the giant rock in the rolling mudslide! Disappearing into the mud.

Edward Cullen, the most powerful vampire in the Cullen family, finally lost his composure:

"This human, who possesses such great power, can sacrifice his life for his compatriots? I'm afraid even the apostles in the rumors can hardly do this."

Alice Cullen suddenly said:

"Aunt Salun is in the pickup on the bridge. This woman is good, I have to save her."

Following her actions, Carlisle Cullen also joined the ranks of rescuers.

At this time, the pickup could no longer be driven, but the highway bridge was also in danger. To save people, they had to rush to the center of the bridge and rescue those who were half-unconscious. In fact, not everyone had the courage to stay on this end of the highway bridge, and it was indeed very dangerous here. Some gravel and rocks would splash over, and the lethality of these gravel was quite strong for ordinary people. A hit on the head would most likely cause a concussion.

Therefore, the people who dared to rush over to save people were Zi, Reef, Seven, and Lamtas. However, with the help of this group of vampires, the rescue work also progressed smoothly. When the last person was successfully brought to the safe area by Edward Cullen, the Cullen family vampires realized that this group of mysterious people had suddenly evaporated in place, disappearing in an instant.
