Chapter 242: Pursuit and Escape

Watching the fighter jets roar past, Zuo Feng couldn't help but click his tongue.

Zuo Feng speculated that these three fighter jets belonged to 'Junlin Tianxia's' air force. As expected of a military-established force, their weaponry and equipment were top-notch.

In contrast, his Firefly Base didn't even have helicopters yet, while they were already deploying fighter jets. However, pre-apocalypse technology, with Mutants growing stronger, would likely soon be obsolete.

Once Mutants fully rose, the limitations of those high-tech weapons would become even more pronounced.

But for now, they were a good choice for pursuing Jun Wushuang.

The fighter jets carved elegant arcs in the sky, quickly catching up to the Mutants ahead.

Jun Wushuang's figure weaved through the city ruins, his eyes cold, his heart filled with immense hatred: If he could escape this time, he would definitely make those pursuers pay a heavy price.

Jun Wushuang's mind raced; he had to find a way to escape.

He was already injured, and the flying Mutants in the sky couldn't be shaken off.

Although his speed was faster than these flying Mutants, those flying Mutants were all powerhouses who had lit their Six Lotus Seeds, so their speed wasn't much slower than his. Combined with the lack of terrain restrictions, Jun Wushuang knew it would be extremely difficult to shake them off, and even harder to eliminate them.

These people were pursuing him from high altitude, outside his attack range.

From their elevated position, they constantly launched skills to interfere with his speed.

Jun Wushuang knew that if this dragged on, and the teams behind caught up, he would truly be unable to escape.

Moreover, he couldn't keep running like this forever; he had to find a way to use other forces to break the stalemate.

Jun Wushuang had considered using other factions to tie down the pursuers, but facing such a powerful pursuit lineup, probably no faction would dare to intervene easily. Even if he trespassed into certain faction territories, he would still face the fate of being encircled and annihilated.

Unless he could find a powerful force capable of suppressing these pursuers, Jun Wushuang had thought about luring them to Firefly Base, but ultimately gave up.

It was unrealistic to make Firefly clash with the pursuers; both were his enemies, and it would be good enough if they didn't join forces.

As for the forces in H City, Jun Wushuang had also considered them, but these pursuers were too strong; even the three major overlords of H City wouldn't easily clash with them.

Furthermore, Jun Wushuang speculated that the three major overlords of H City probably also wanted to extract the secret of breaking through the bottleneck from him and then dissect him for research.

Jun Wushuang galloped while pondering, and suddenly, a crazy glint flashed in his eyes.

He had thought of countless methods, but none offered a way out of the predicament.

However, there was still one place that even Jun Wushuang, who had lit half of his Eighth Lotus Seed, dared not easily set foot in.

That was the central area of H City. Everyone in H City knew that the central area had completely fallen.

But, no one had ever dared to easily step into that fallen land.

Because, even Mutant teams entering had a minuscule chance of survival.

No one knew what dangers truly existed within.

Jun Wushuang gritted his teeth, deciding to take the risk.

He had to break the current stalemate; even if that fallen land was full of dangers, it was better than surrendering.

Behind him, the roar of fighter jets grew closer. Jun Wushuang's heart was anxious, and his speed increased again.

His abilities were enough to sustain his escape to H City, but with his injuries, Jun Wushuang wasn't sure if he could endure reaching that fallen land.

Especially now, the deployment of fighter jets undoubtedly increased the difficulty of his escape.

Although Jun Wushuang's speed using the Way of the Edge Escape was several times faster than a car, it still couldn't compare to the speed of a fighter jet.

After rushing out of E City, Jun Wushuang ran wildly through the wilderness, scaling mountains and wading through rivers along the way.

The sharpness of the Way of the Edge Escape carved bloody trails in the night, but the flying Mutants remained like shadows.

They constantly harassed and attacked, and fighter jets occasionally dropped bombs.

Though the damage was not great, it continuously restricted Jun Wushuang's escape speed, preventing him from widening the distance between himself and the hundreds of Mutants behind him.

At this moment, both sides were engaged in a life-and-death race against time. Jun Wushuang desperately fled, while the pursuers relentlessly chased.

Jun Moce led his subordinates in close pursuit, a cold glint in his eyes. The two sides had reached a point of no return; Jun Moce would never let Jun Wushuang go, otherwise, a powerhouse who had lit half of his Eighth Lotus Seed, if harboring resentment, would leave him restless.

Only now did Jun Moce realize that Jun Wushuang's strength far exceeded his imagination.

Facing the siege of hundreds of powerhouses who had lit their Six Lotus Seeds, he was still able to forcefully tear open a gap in the encirclement and escape.

Moreover, Jun Wushuang's vitality was too tenacious; severely injured, he could still maintain such a high-intensity escape, which made him even more determined to obtain the secret of breaking through the bottleneck. If he could reach Jun Wushuang's level, unifying E City would not be difficult.

After more than five hours of pursuit and escape, Jun Wushuang looked as if he had been pulled from a pool of blood, with cracks in his skin constantly oozing fresh blood. Fortunately, he was a powerful Mutant; otherwise, an ordinary person would have long since collapsed.

And at this moment, H City was within sight.

Jun Wushuang's eyes revealed a hint of madness; the disarray of this journey filled him with rage.

Fortunately, all the pursuers harbored the idea of capturing him alive, otherwise he would never have been able to escape to the edge of H City.

"Don't you like to chase? Good, I'll let you chase to your heart's content! From now on, everyone's lives will no longer be their own. I'll see who has the greater luck!" Jun Wushuang roared in his heart, abruptly turned, and the Way of the Edge Escape erupted, a blood-red light instantly engulfing his entire body, as he charged directly into H City, reaching the edge of the central area.

When Jun Wushuang fled to the edge of H City's central area, he stopped instead, standing in place, panting, looking around with cold eyes, a determined smile on his lips.

Above the sky, the flying Mutants hovered at high altitude, not daring to approach Jun Wushuang easily. They feared this was Jun Wushuang's cornered beast's struggle, and no one wanted to be the final sacrifice.

Jun Wushuang stopped because he was waiting for the hundreds of Mutants behind him.

He wanted to lead everyone into the fallen land together. The worst outcome was simply everyone dying together, and with these Mutants as his burial companions, he considered it worth it.

Five minutes later, Jun Moce, who had been leading the charge, finally arrived. Seeing Jun Wushuang standing still, a hint of surprise flashed in Jun Moce's eyes. He stopped far away, secretly pondering: Is Jun Wushuang preparing for a final desperate counterattack?

Jun Moce vigilantly looked around but detected no abnormalities.

Approximately two minutes later, hundreds of Mutants arrived one after another, forming a vast encirclement, their eyes filled with wariness and killing intent.

Jun Moce coldly shouted: "Jun Wushuang, you have nowhere to run, surrender!"

Jun Wushuang laughed loudly, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes: "Surrender? Such a word does not exist in Jun Wushuang's dictionary! Jun Moce, this is H City, not E City! Do you think I will just wait to be captured?"

Mo Tianya stepped forward and shouted: "Jun Wushuang, you're not hoping that some force in H City will dare to save you, are you? Don't forget, we have nearly four hundred powerhouses here who have lit their Six Lotus Seeds!"

There were over 400 Mutants who had lit their Six Lotus Seeds besieging Jun Wushuang in E City, but Jun Wushuang's seventh skill had directly killed over 20 of them.

Coupled with the pursuit along the way, those whose abilities were exhausted and couldn't keep up had already withdrawn. Although fewer than four hundred remained now, each one was an elite.
