Abyss Sequence

Chapter 43: The Escape (Part 1)


The sound vanished in an instant, everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Yan Luo with eyes wide open, as if their eyes were about to pop out.

Time seemed to be slowed down a thousandfold, every drop of splattered blood, brain matter, every burst of muscle, and fragment of bone were vividly visible.

She Wuyou's body still maintained the victorious posture of arms held high, but everything above the neck was gone, leaving the esophagus and trachea neatly separated at the break.

Even the muscles of the neck were still undulating, drawing air into the lungs.

A camera pre-set for capturing the scene continuously captured the moment when She Wuyou's head fragments flew apart, many cameras connected to live broadcasts projected this scene into thousands of homes, and even some outdoor screens were displaying this Shura-like scene.

The people hadn't yet realized what had happened, they just instinctively stopped making sound.

Only the sounds of traffic overhead still echoed, with celebratory advertising music drifting in from a distance.

Yan Luo wiped his hands on She Wuyou's clean and tidy suit jacket and turned his head to run.

"Ugh!"

Only then did people's brains finally connect the scenes before their eyes with their consciousness, many immediately gagged, some even vomited.

Then came screams that pierced the sky, accompanied by abruptly sounding alarms, throwing the scene into chaos.

[Alert! Alert! A murder incident detected, victim She Wuyou, perpetrator 'Yama' Yan Luo!]

Numerous security robots immediately mobilized, giving chase to Yan Luo's fleeing steps.

Meanwhile, a wanted order was sent to every patrol officer's terminal, demanding they mobilize immediately to arrest the audacious criminal who committed murder in public.

The drone nests standing by the street sides opened up, and one after another drones flew out, forming a long line, flying towards Yan Luo's location.

Yan Luo's personal terminal had already been locked down, preventing any contact with others or remote control of a motorcycle.

However, Yan Luo's speed was already fast enough, making a motorcycle unnecessary.

Especially in such a complex city environment.

Yan Luo's figure sped like lightning, creating a gust wherever he passed, blowing people's clothes into disarray, causing them to shout in surprise.

Yan Luo wove through the crowd without hitting anyone, thanks to his reaction speed being more than twice that of an ordinary human.

Drones pursued Yan Luo, not only riot drones but also live broadcast drones from major media outlets joined in the chase.

The riot drones operated at full capacity to barely keep up with Yan Luo's pace, aiming at his back to shoot Taser darts.

Slow!

Too slow!

Yan Luo suddenly leapt, his body flipping in mid-air, dodging all the Taser darts that grazed past him without any hitting him.

His arms stretched out, grabbing onto a sign, pulling himself over to it, evading a second wave of Taser dart shots.

Yan Luo half-squatted, half-leaned on the sign, with a hand on the wall, lunging forward to dodge the third wave of Taser dart shots while leaping below a sky bridge.

In mid-air, Yan Luo abruptly twisted his body and flung his arms, pressing his brought-together fingers into the steel plate, halting his falling body.

Subsequently, his arms, shoulders, and waist exerted force simultaneously, flinging himself onto the sky bridge.

People on the bridge looked up in astonishment, seeing Yan Luo running rapidly on the glass above them, with a swarm of drones chasing his silhouette.

Clink, clink, clink!

Taser darts scattered in succession, yet none hit Yan Luo, all striking the glass enveloping the sky bridge.

Racing to the midpoint of the sky bridge, Yan Luo suddenly leapt, grabbing onto the undercarriage of a passing bus, making the bus sink abruptly, causing passengers inside to scream, yet some boldly leaned against windows to see Yan Luo's current position.

Yan Luo swung his body, climbing rapidly against the undercarriage like a spider, reaching the front of the bus in no time, catching hold of the bus's edge and flinging himself to the front, then alternating his hands to slap against the front of the bus, pushing himself upward, arriving atop the bus in an instant.

At this time, riot drones swarmed from three sides while a patrol car appeared ahead.

A policeman sitting inside the hovering patrol car shouted at Yan Luo, "Surrender, or I'll shoot!"

Surrender, as if!

Yan Luo took a deep breath, lowered his body, and suddenly leapt up.

The bus's body sank again, but Yan Luo soared upwards, leaping thirteen meters to land a foot on the patrol car's roof, leveraging to jump again.

Office workers in the buildings lining the street opened their eyes wide in shock, watching Yan Luo running and leaping through the continuous traffic overhead without a hint of concern about falling from the heights.

It was their first time witnessing 'extraordinary power' firsthand in their entire life, more stunning than any movie special effect.

"Stop! Don't disrupt the traffic anymore!"

Warnings came from all directions, Yan Luo remained silent, merely sprinting madly.

He navigated the high-altitude traffic like a fish in water, everywhere provided a foothold to leverage, Yan Luo traversed through the traffic stream, as if flying in the sky.

However, he also noticed the overhead vehicles being redirected from their original trajectories, preventing him from finding a landing spot.

But could this hinder his run?

Yan Luo suddenly shifted direction, and as the car he was standing on flew past a building, he punched through its glass, jumping inside.

"Ah!!"

The office workers, initially watching the spectacle on their terminals, were startled to find themselves caught in the chaos, immediately screaming in horror.

Yan Luo paid them no attention, charging towards the glass on the opposite side of the building.

Reaching the glass window, he didn't punch through it; instead, he undid the latch, opened it outward, and then jumped out.

Seeing this, the screaming office workers paused in confusion.

Yan Luo clearly seemed like an outlaw, yet now he appeared to behave politely?

People stared at the now-empty window, baffled by the paradox.

Yan Luo jumped from a building, only to be surrounded by drone swarms and patrol cars from both sides.

They thought Yan Luo would fall, but upon reaching the building opposite, Yan Luo dug his ten fingers into the solid concrete, hauling his body upward with his hands.

The injuries caused earlier by his fingers cutting into steel had already healed, and the concrete couldn't cause harm to Yan Luo's fingers.

Yan Luo left numerous holes on the building's structure, scaling upwards at lightning speed.

The police, finally granted permission by superiors, opened fire, however, by the time they fired, Yan Luo had already vaulted over the rooftop edge, reaching the high-rise top.

The drone swarm ascended quickly, spraying Taser darts and intercepting nets, aiming to capture Yan Luo.

But in the instant those non-lethal weapons were fired, Yan Luo's silhouette vanished from the spot.

Soon after, Yan Luo reached the opposite edge of the building.

"Don't think of escaping!"

Several police cars rose from in front of Yan Luo, but he remained unfazed, leaping up.

The startled police hastily redirected their guns, aiming at Yan Luo, with the shooting assistance program locking onto him.

However, they never anticipated Yan Luo's target was also them.

Bam!

Yan Luo punched in mid-air, shattering the rear window of a police car. His tall body curled in, rolling through the window into the backseat, with not a moment's pause, launching himself like a spring, kicking through the opposite window.

As the front-seat officers just turned their gun barrels, Yan Luo pressed his hands on the seats, pushing himself up, smoothly flying out through the car window on the other side.

The entire sequence of actions took less than two seconds from start to finish; the police couldn't react before Yan Luo broke through their encirclement.

Ahead, a drone swarm appeared, Yan Luo descended, stepping on one drone like a dragonfly on water, his body soaring upward again.

In contrast, the drone that endured his powerful step plummeted suddenly, crashing to the ground and exploding instantly.

Yan Luo landed on a fifteen-story residential building's corridor, rolling upon landing, then bounced off again.

He arrived at a residential area in Lingquan City's Fifth Ring, surrounded by residential and apartment buildings.

Yan Luo leapt back and forth between high-rises, traversing corridors and balconies, with images broadcast by live drones resembling a continuous action movie scene, leaving viewers speechless and their blood boiling!
