Chapter 133: Towards the Meat Mountain
Li Qing spent a lot of time confirming Tobio's identity and calling his companions.
After successfully reaching a consensus with Tobio, he immediately drove away from the devastated city ruins and approached the port warehouse not far from the coast.
This modern port lacks the rich historical atmosphere of the ancient city of Naples, but it is also unlike the old city with its densely packed houses and narrow, winding roads.
The terrain here is relatively flat and the view is wider.
Huge warehouses are lined up in front, with wide and flat roads distributed in an orderly manner between them.
Even though a strong earthquake had just occurred, these modern warehouse buildings withstood the test perfectly and did not turn into ruins like the ancient houses in the old city.
Near this large port warehouse, next to the natural deep-water harbor of the Bay of Naples, is the naval base where the main force of the US Sixth Fleet is stationed.
In the past, dating back to the Roman era, this was the busiest and most lively port in the Mediterranean.
But now...
Mount Vesuvius in the distance was spewing flames, and the azure sky was dyed gray by volcanic dust.
There was always a faint smell of sulfur in the air, and even the blue sea in the distance was unconsciously covered with a layer of haze.
What’s even more terrifying is that right between the port’s storage yards and next to the neatly arranged warehouses, there stands a mountain of flesh.
The previous "hero" helicopter had been destroyed.
Having lost its target, the meat mountain just wandered aimlessly in this empty and deserted warehouse, slowly crawling forward and devouring everything it could touch.
Wherever he passed, there was white land everywhere.
At this time, Li Qing drove the car with the wounded and approached calmly.
"that…"
Tobio swallowed nervously.
The distance between the car and the meat mountain was getting closer and closer, and the visual oppression brought by the huge body was getting stronger and stronger.
He finally couldn't help but ask:
"Do you want to go forward?"
"Can you please stay away from that monster? It's very...easy for something to happen!"
Because the meat mountain wrapped in a layer of magma crust has become a "lava monster" that ordinary people can see, Diablo also felt at ease to let Tobio question it.
In fact, the opinions put forward by his cowardly second personality at this time were exactly what Diablo himself really thought.
Diablo had just escaped death not long ago, and he knew how terrifying that monster was:
With its endless speed, towering size like a mountain, and boundless power, even the Crimson King was unable to fight back in front of it.
Now he is seriously injured and his fighting ability is greatly reduced.
If possible, Diablo really wanted to stay as far away from this monster as possible.
However, Li Qing, who was much weaker than him, was not panicked at all:
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"Don't be fooled by its size. It's just a brainless idiot."
Just like a keeper is not afraid to approach a tiger, Li Qing, who is familiar with the habits of the meat mountain, has unknowingly lost his awe of this giant beast.
As he drove towards the meat mountain in a leisurely manner, he generously told Tobio a few tips on how to deal with the meat mountain:
"It has no intelligence and will only mindlessly chase the fastest target within its sensing range."
"As long as we stay a hundred meters away from it, it will not be able to attack us."
I see…
Just like a remote-controlled stand, Roshan's movement patterns are traceable.
Diablo quickly understood the monster's movements, but...
How does Li Qing know so much about the habits of this monster?
Does he know the origin of this monster?
Could it be that the appearance of this monster is not a coincidence, and there is someone else behind the scenes collaborating with Li Qing to do something wrong?
Diablo, who was nearly eaten as a snack by the meat mountain, couldn't help but have the urge to find the "mastermind" and cut him into slices.
Finally, he asked Tobio indirectly:
"How do you know this?"
"Didn't this monster just emerge from the volcano?"
"this…"
Li Qing frowned, but finally told Tobio the truth perfunctorily, as if he was telling a story:
"I just ran into it two hours ago, but it wasn't this big then."
"Actually, it's a stand-in for a fat guy. That guy is a killer sent by the Mafia to hunt me down... Never mind. You won't understand even if I tell you."
“…”
Diablo was silent for a while.
He seemed to vaguely understand who was the culprit who caused him to be almost swallowed by the monster.
Li Qing was just about to say a few more words of comfort to Tobio, telling this "young man who has never seen the world" not to panic, but at this moment, a burst of crisp and intensive gunfire suddenly rang out from a large warehouse in the distance.
Along with the crisp sound of the warehouse window glass shattering, a series of supersonic bullets shot out from the warehouse.
And these bullets happened to fly towards the mountain of meat.
The Meat Mountain reacted instantly.
It was like a shark that smelled blood. Its seemingly slow and heavy body suddenly burst out with terrifying speed.
The huge body moving at high speed instantly squeezed away tons of air, and the suddenly generated high-pressure air waves rushed in all directions like a tsunami.
Before long, all the bullets were completely swallowed up by the mountain of flesh.
The Meat Mountain stopped moving, but had unknowingly moved much closer to the warehouse.
"What?"
Li Qing was slightly stunned and could not help but be a little surprised:
"Someone's shooting at the meat mountain in that warehouse over there."
"Could it be those nosy Americans again? This... this is simply courting death!"
Guns cannot cause any damage to Roshan.
Those supersonic bullets can serve as bait to distract the meat, but the side effect of this method is that it will definitely bring the meat closer and closer to the person who fired the shooter.
"Use this water gun to fight monsters..."
“Have they watched too many movies?”
Li Qing sighed helplessly in his heart.
There was no salvation for human stupidity, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He could only follow carefully nearby, carefully maintaining a distance of more than 100 meters from the mountain of flesh, and gritted his heart to watch it all.
Soon, gunshots rang out again.
The meat mountain continued to move forward along the trajectory of the bullet, getting closer and closer to the warehouse.
Li Qing also drove closely along the side, moving forward slowly with the pace of Roshan.
" Is this...is this too close?"
Looking out the window at the monster that almost occupied half of his vision, Tobio nervously advised in true character:
"Can you please not get so close to me... I, I'm a little scared."
Li Qing remained unmoved.
What happened before had made him realize that this mountain of meat could be affected by the Americans' disorganized operations at any time and run anywhere uncontrollably.
Thanks to the sacrifice of the previous "hero" helicopter, it finally managed to leave the city.
If anything goes wrong again and this mountain of meat inexplicably leaves the harbor and enters the city, the consequences will be almost unimaginable.
Only by being a little closer can Li Qing take timely action to make up for the loss when an accident occurs.
Therefore , he still boldly stuck to the side of the meat mountain, moving forward parallel to it.
"Don't worry!"
While Li Qing was concentrating on listening to the movements of the meat mountain, he casually promised Tobio:
"It only looks close. In fact, we are still more than a hundred meters away from the piece of meat!"
"Trust me, nothing will happen ."
In this way, following the footsteps of the meat mountain catching bullets, he and Tobio gradually approached the warehouse where someone was firing.
"Is it really…really nothing going to happen?"
Somehow, both Tobio and Diablo had a very bad premonition at this moment.
"real!"
"With me here guarding the area, there's absolutely no way that thing can get within a hundred meters of us."
Li Qing was getting a little impatient from the harassment.
"Besides, even if something happened, it would be that idiot who just fired a gun in the warehouse who got into trouble first!"
"There are idiots like that who are 'actively' attracting hatred. What do you have to be afraid of?"
He pointed at the warehouse not far ahead and growled a few words in annoyance.
As he spoke, Li Qing deliberately shifted the focus of his monitoring away from the Meat Mountain, trying to listen to the movements in the warehouse, wanting to "see" the idiot who had shot himself to death earlier.
However, what he heard was...
boom!!
It 's like when you're bending down to pick something and you smell a fart from the person in front of you...
A loud explosion that pierced the clouds and split the rocks suddenly sounded from the warehouse, almost knocking Li Qing, who was concentrating and listening, unconscious.
Flames suddenly rose and gusts of wind surged into the sky.
The warehouse wall collapsed instantly in the violent explosion, and bricks, stones and rubble were blown into the air by the powerful shock wave.
Meat Mountain was immediately overwhelmed with joy.
It ran wildly after the flying debris in the air, but unfortunately...
The fastest piece of rubble was flying towards Li Qing.
In just a few breaths, the distance between Roshan and Li Qing was greatly shortened in an unexpected way.
What's worse is that several pieces of rubble flew farther and farther in the blast wave, and finally hit the hood of Li Qing's car, damaging the vital car engine.
The car he had just borrowed for a few minutes suddenly broke down with white smoke coming out of it.
Damn! Why?
What on earth did those Americans do in the warehouse...
Isn't this just an ordinary port warehouse? Why did it explode for no reason?
The power of the explosion is so terrifying, how much explosives are hidden inside!
Li Qing had endless questions in his mind.
However, at this moment, these questions are no longer meaningful.
The meat mountain has arrived.
