Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 1140: 10

Chapter 1140: Chapter 10

Upon hearing the voice coming from Sun Baike’s corpse, Xu Zhong pondered for a moment and then asked, “Fu Leshan?”

“It’s me, the best partner and brother of the man you killed.”

“That’s truly unfortunate.”

“Li Ang, Xu Zhong, I swear, I will hunt you down for the rest of my life. No matter where you go, to the ends of the earth, I will skin you alive, dig out your hearts, and let you taste the world’s most brutal…”

“Bang.” Li Ang raised his gun, aimed at the speaker on Sun Baike’s helmet, and shot it to pieces.

“Why all the chatter?” He didn’t bother to listen any further.

Putting away the gun, he continued to run with Xu Zhong.

…

There is a parking lot on the mid-level platform of the Snow Domain Mansion. Most of the vehicles parked here are hover cars.

Li Ang, with Xu Zhong in tow, got into one of the all-black ones.

“You still have a hover car prepared?” Xu Zhong was a bit curious, “The Strider 6th generation, I remember it’s very expensive, you must be really loaded to afford this.”

“I obviously didn’t buy it.”

“Then where did it come from?”

“It’s just parked here.”

“Aren’t we stealing then?”

“Just borrowing it, what’s the big deal?”

Standing at the car door, Xu Zhong hesitated for a while, but eventually got in.

…

At this moment, it wasn’t just the hover car Li Ang and Xu Zhong were in that flew out of the mid-level platform parking lot of the Snow Domain Mansion.

Li Ang’s ambush and knocking out of Zhang Cheng might not have been too noisy; but the fight with Sun Baike was far from quiet.

The residents of the Snow Domain Mansion were quite shaken by this. They would naturally fear that misfortune might befall them and would think about how to complain to the police later. Right now, the priority was clear: seize the chance to escape.

This brought a lot of trouble to the trackers from the Divine Bird Group.

Yet there was still an armed hover car that fixed its sights on the one Li Ang and Xu Zhong were riding.

“Front vehicle, please stop immediately for inspection.”

“Front vehicle, please stop immediately for inspection.”

“Front vehicle, please stop immediately for inspection.”

…

Relentless warnings came from the car behind.

Xu Zhong felt quite restless in the car.

Li Ang teased, “After all, you come from a police background. Look how scared you are.”

Xu Zhong sighed, “Letting you see me as a joke again. But to be honest, I haven’t been on frontline action for a very long time. Even in the rare instances, I was only commanding. Being hunted down like this, it’s indeed the first time in my life.”

“You’ll probably get used to it.”

“That would be horrible.”

During the conversation, Xu Zhong noticed Li Ang constantly doing something on the hover car’s control panel. He couldn’t help but curiously ask, “What are you doing?”

“Trying to shake off the people behind us.” Li Ang replied, without pausing his hands, “We’re too obvious in this hover car. The Divine Bird’s people will eventually identify us as the real targets. We can’t outrun them like this.”

“So, what’s your plan?”

“I’m programming the autopilot path for this hover car. Soon, we’ll pass through a complex area. By then, you’ll jump with me… Don’t have that look, I assure you there’s no problem… The critical part is that we can’t be detected when we jump, so the enemy will be distracted by the autopiloted hover car, giving us the chance to escape on foot from the ground.”

“Jumping out of the car? We might get killed!”

“We won’t. We’ll jump into a building, and I’ll use a ‘Levitation Spell’ to cushion us. The impact from jumping at high speed won’t kill us. Even if we mess up and fall without jumping in, we won’t die from it. Don’t worry.”

“Uh… What if we’re noticed when we jump out of the car?”

“I have a backup plan for that too. Just follow my lead.”

“Alright, you’re the expert.”

While they were talking, the warning tone from the armed hover car of the Divine Bird Group changed.

“Warning to the front vehicle, stop immediately for inspection, or I will open fire after three warnings!”

“First warning!”

Xu Zhong’s expression was a bit tense. He couldn’t help but glance at Li Ang, finding this guy still at the controls.

“Are you done? They’re about to open fire!”

“Second warning!”

“Almost there.”

“Third warning!”

Just as the warning ended, Li Ang maneuvered the hover car to suddenly accelerate and turn, while also lowering its altitude, veering the entire craft off the normal blue hover light track, descending into the maze of buildings.

Caught off guard, the armed hover car of the Divine Bird opened fire, but the shots from the car-mounted gun hit nothing but air.

“Damn it!” cursed the Divine Bird pilot, as he communicated through the headset to his superiors, “The target has left the air route and entered the building zone, requesting support! In the building zone, firing would risk hitting the structures, requesting authorization to fire?”

“Hold your fire for now, pursue the target, don’t lose them, support is on the way.”

“Understood.”

Meanwhile, in Li Ang’s car, his hands were already off the control panel.

“All set, follow me, we’re ready to jump.”

“Okay.” Xu Zhong, at this point, was still quite decisive.

The two of them jumped from the front row driver’s seat to the back row, with the right side car door half-open. They huddled on the same side seat, and Li Ang gripped Xu Zhong’s arm.

“Are you nervous?”

“Indeed, it’s a bit thrilling.”

“Don’t be afraid,” Li Ang comforted him.

The black hover car twisted and turned between the buildings, constantly weaving through, sometimes skimming past a building, making Xu Zhong’s heart pound with fear.

Until they were about to approach a certain building on the side, Li Ang said, “Get ready to jump!”

Then he suddenly pulled Xu Zhong, leaping out of the car door, following the inertia, and crashing into the balcony on the seventeenth floor of the building.

A white Levitation Spell shone on both of them, slowing their landing speed dramatically.

Getting up from the floor, Xu Zhong told Li Ang, “This is a bit too thrilling for a middle-aged man.”

“Haha!” Li Ang laughed, “Let’s go, your young female officer subordinate should be arriving downstairs soon. Theoretically, she should have a car ready for us so we can leave from the ground—if she’s reliable enough.”

“This time, it’s my turn to say no worries, Ye Lixiao is a very reliable person.”

“Let’s hope so. Before we head downstairs, we need to change our look a bit, at least so we don’t get recognized at a glance.”

…

Downstairs, on the neon-lit street, a red car was already waiting by the roadside.

The window rolled down, and Ye Lixiao waved at them.

With their jackets off, hats and sunglasses on, the pair now looked quite different from before. Quietly, they swiftly got into the red car and drove away.
