Chapter 38: Death at the Door
15:05.
Li Qing and Giorno first completed the logistics supply and material preparation in a simple and efficient way, and then rushed to the crash site at the foot of Mount Vesuvius at the fastest speed they could achieve.
Looking up from here, the first thing that catches your eye is the emerald green shade born from the fertile volcanic ash. Looking up, you can see the majestic mountain of Mount Vesuvius and the dark black volcanic gravel on the mountain that has taken countless years to build up.
It was indeed a beautiful scenery, but Li Qing had no mood to appreciate it.
Because at the foot of the volcano, this once bustling tourist town is now in ruins:
The wreckage of the plane that fell from the sky had long since "disappeared", houses and roads continued to collapse under some invisible mysterious force, and passers-by and tourists fled in all directions in this unspeakable fear.
In the eyes of these ordinary people, it was as if there was an invisible plow in this small town, which kept moving and cultivating the ground, leaving behind an extremely wide and barren death passage.
In Li Qing's eyes...
“Ahhh…”
"It's as big as a small villa."
"It seems that this monster has eaten a lot of cars again?"
He sighed like this.
“Don’t be careless.”
Giorno heard the understatement in Li Qing's words:
"Although the situation is favorable for us, it is still at least four kilometers away from the beach, and we don't know what accidents may happen along the way."
"Especially..."
"American Army, right?"
Li Qing's pretending to be relaxed expression also quietly became solemn:
"The Americans just lost a state-of-the-art fighter jet. They will definitely not turn a blind eye to this."
"It has been ten minutes since the plane crashed, and the US naval base is not far from here in Naples Harbor... They will be here at any time!"
Li Qing can fully understand Giorno's concerns:
The noise made by this giant piece of meat is no less than the scenes in Hollywood movies. Upon witnessing such a bizarre sight, those Americans with "strong martial virtues" will definitely go to war against this "invisible monster."
If at that time a military helicopter flew by at low altitude and high speed, or if super-high-speed bullets or artillery shells were fired, Li Qing and Giorno's combat plan would definitely be greatly disrupted.
Moreover, even if those soldiers did not interfere with them, just letting the Americans see Li Qing and Giorno playing real shrimp hunting with an "invisible monster" who appeared out of nowhere at the crash site of the core technology fighter of the United States during the sensitive period when the Balkan War just started...
This is enough to cause huge trouble for Li Qing and Giorno.
After all, CIA tea isn't that tasty.
"In that case, let's make a quick decision!"
Li Qing gently stepped on the accelerator of his motorcycle, called Giorno's phone, and said in the "Team Voice":
“Hello…”
"Girno, are you ready?"
"Ready...How about you, Li Qing?"
“Hahahaha…of course!”
Li Qing laughed heartily:
"It may sound a bit childish, but what we are doing now is stupid... so..."
"Giorno Giovanna, let's save the world together!"
The roar of the motorcycle engine suddenly became more than ten times louder.
Giorno and Li Qing each drove their chariots, and according to the pre-agreed battle plan, they continued to approach the huge piece of meat that was moving mindlessly from different directions.
“Huahua~”
The piece of meat instinctively made an excited sound of flesh and blood squirming.
Compared to those people running slowly, it prefers Li Qing who drives a motorcycle into its perception range.
This monster, which was about seven or eight meters tall, suddenly burst out with a speed that was completely inconsistent with its bloated body, and changed the direction of its movement under Li Qing's lure.
100 meters…90 meters…80 meters…
The piece of meat was getting closer and closer to Li Qing.
However, this process is 'long' and safe.
At least, compared with the previous thrilling battle on the bus where the enemy and our side were extremely close, the initiative of this battle was completely in the hands of Li Qing and Giorno.
"It's already within 50 meters..."
Li Qing carefully controlled the distance between himself and the piece of meat, and when the other party reached the pre-set safety red line of 50 meters, he promptly sent a signal for help to his teammates:
"Giorno, it's your turn!"
As he said this, he deliberately slowed down the speed of the motorcycle.
Giorno, who was at the edge of the meat's perception range in the distance, suddenly stepped on the accelerator and broke into the meat's "field of vision" very tacitly, using a slightly faster speed to help Li Qing draw away the hatred.
The brainless monster immediately gave up chasing Li Qing, who was only halfway through, and turned to Giorno, who was a full 100 meters away from it.
that's all…
The two of them took turns attracting the hatred of the piece of meat, and surprisingly pulled this seemingly invincible monster out with ease.
Under the guidance of Li Qing and Giorno, it moved away from the town and continued to move towards the vast ocean in the distance.
And there is the eternal graveyard of this monster.
"very good!"
Li Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:
"The plan is going better than expected. As long as no one gets in the way..."
"Hmm..."
His tone suddenly became extremely strange.
"What's wrong?"
Giorno's slightly solemn voice came from the phone: "What's the problem?"
"I shouldn't have set a flag..."
Li Qing sighed helplessly:
"The guy who's in the way is really here!"
While carefully driving his motorcycle to attract the hatred of the meat, he listened attentively to the sounds outside the battlefield:
"There's a motorcycle that sounds like it has a lot of power, and it's approaching us very quickly on the street behind us."
"That guy might interfere..."
Before Li Qing finished speaking, the troublemaker he mentioned had already appeared.
The guy was driving a modified motorcycle that was obviously cooler and more ferocious. He stepped on the accelerator with full power and came across from another street with a loud roar of the engine.
He drove very fast, at least much faster than Li Qing and Giorno.
What's worse is that this guy is not just some random racer passing by, but...
"Asshole!"
"Steal my car and take my phone?"
"Look, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
The young man who had just "contributed" to the just cause shouted angrily.
Yes, it was him, the "old acquaintance" that Li Qing and Giorno had just met a few minutes ago.
After being robbed, he did not swallow his anger and consider himself unlucky. Instead, he became furious.
This young man who had been wandering the local streets for many years knew that the incompetent police in Naples would basically not be able to help him bring the car thief to justice, so he immediately prepared to seek justice on his own.
As soon as the incident happened, he ran to his friend who lived nearby and borrowed a motorcycle with excellent speed performance from his friend to give chase.
At the same time, in order to intimidate the two car thieves who seemed to be quite skilled, he borrowed a revolver from a friend for self-defense.
Because Italy itself is a country that allows adult citizens to legally own civilian firearms, and its own public security situation is not optimistic, so many families keep such easy-to-use revolvers in their homes for easy use at any time.
For an idle person in society, it is really not difficult to get a gun.
So, this brave young man jumped on his horse, gun in hand, and chased after Li Qing the direction they fled.
“…”
Seeing this old friend who came here to collect debts, Li Qing's face turned extremely ugly:
"Is it really that serious..."
"I'm embarrassed to ask for your phone and motorcycle, why did you come here to give yourself up?!"
