Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

Chapter 173: Pursuit



"Because of me?" Xu Luo asked, puzzled.

"Because you made a big splash earlier, you've attracted the attention of alien spies. They think you have the potential to become a threat, so they've decided to eliminate you," Xu Ran explained concisely.

Hearing this, Xu Luo was speechless. He didn't expect that just making a name for himself once would attract the attention of aliens.

"Then why specifically lure me out?"

"You're at home, and the surrounding area is residential. If a fight breaks out, who knows how many people would suffer. So by having you come out, we're giving the enemy an opportunity to act, and we can also be prepared."

Xu Ran looked him up and down.

"Besides, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself? Do you think the aliens would expose their undercover agents just to deal with you alone? All these geniuses staying in Tianhai City are their targets."

"So you're using their plan against them, attracting these people here under the guise of a motorcycle race?" Xu Luo wasn't stupid and quickly caught on.

"Even if they don't ride motorcycles, with so many peers here, once they know about this, they'll all come to watch the excitement."

The racetrack for motorcycle racing wasn't the usual road.

Regular roads were usually at a height of 100 meters and monitored by the main brain throughout. The motorcycle racing track was generally below 30 meters or even on the ground, where the lowest-class people lived, with basically no monitoring.

Choosing such a place not only gave the enemy a convenient opportunity to act but also minimized collateral damage.

However, Xu Luo felt a chill in his heart.

He felt there were other reasons.

For example, if people here were accidentally injured, they were just lower-class people whose lives weren't worth much. Even if houses were destroyed, the economic loss would be relatively small.

But being smart, he didn't say these things out loud, though he felt very uncomfortable about it.

"We came here secretly. The aliens are also watching the movements of our Special Operations Division. They know about our personnel transfers, so this time only a small team came. I know you have a pulse magnetic wave gun. I hope you can help if the situation becomes urgent," Xu Ran quickly made her request.

Those given pulse magnetic wave guns certainly received specialized training, at least for basic use.

With insufficient manpower, Xu Ran had no choice. Fearing any oversight, she hoped this brother could be of some use.

"Alright!" Xu Luo nodded.

When it came to his own safety, he had no hesitation.

However, this incident gave him a wake-up call. He needed to keep a low profile in the future!

Just making a name for himself once, and he was already targeted so quickly.

After giving a few more instructions, Xu Ran left directly.

Watching her leave as if nothing had happened, while actually arranging tactical deployments for other members of the Operations Division, Xu Luo could only marvel at her strong psychological quality, as expected of someone from the military.

"Old Xu, what did sister talk to you about?" Wang Xiaoling was very curious, her gossip soul burning fiercely.

"I think this sister is very beautiful. Old Xu, you're single now..."

"Don't joke around!" Xu Chengzhi's face darkened, directly interrupting Wang Xiaoling's remaining words.

"Oh!" Wang Xiaoling pouted, not speaking anymore.

The others didn't think much of it, assuming Xu Chengzhi just didn't like Wang Xiaoling joking about his sister. They knew his personality and didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, a loud whistle sounded from not far away.

"The gathering is starting. Let's go over!" Hearing the whistle, Wang Xiaoling, Zuo Jiaojiao, and the others hurriedly pushed their motorcycles over.

"Aren't you going?" Seeing Xu Chengzhi not moving, Xu Luo asked curiously.

Sometimes he felt this silent youth didn't seem like a student, but more like a professional soldier, equally serious and meticulous in everything he did.

"Not interested," Xu Chengzhi said indifferently.

At this time, at the edge of the parking lot, all the participants had lined up in a row. Behind them was a tall, sexy girl holding a starting gun.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

Then, one figure after another rushed down.

In underground racing, there was no specific route. The only requirement was that the flying height couldn't exceed 30 meters.

Everything else was up to them.

Below 30 meters, it was actually very complex, without specific roads, unlike the upper levels with planned lanes.

Below 30 meters, even if there were originally roads between buildings, they had long been blocked by people over the years, just to increase some space.

To pass through these areas, one could only go through streets and alleys on the ground.

And in racing, the danger wasn't just the complex terrain and environment, but also the people living there.

The lower and upper levels were like heaven and hell, with clear boundaries.

Among those living at the bottom, apart from some ordinary people struggling to survive, more were people who had committed crimes and were hiding there.

Thugs, robbers, thieves, murderers, pimps, human traffickers...

In this lawless place, all kinds of people could be found. It was truly a den of iniquity.

In such a place, there was no distinction between day and night. What would happen to these rich kids passing through was predictable.

Even if they weren't dressed luxuriously and had no jewelry, their very presence and their motorcycles were enough to make them targets for others.

The participants naturally knew about these things. This race also included hunting as part of it.

Fishing in real life.

Using themselves as bait.

This was something they often did.

Children from ordinary families not only differed in resources but also in many things they were exposed to from a young age.

Xu Luo and the other spectators didn't need to be below 30 meters like the participants, so they could observe from high above. Flying in a straight line, they could naturally keep track of their whereabouts clearly.

"I'm leaving first!" Seeing everyone had rushed out like arrows leaving the bow, Xu Chengzhi put on his helmet. After saying this, he directly straddled his motorcycle and sped off.

"Old Xu, I'm going first!" Cha Lei's voice came from afar. Looking again, his figure was already out of sight.

Seeing that they had all started moving, Xu Luo didn't dawdle and began to move as well.

"Xu Luo!" However, he didn't see that in the building opposite, a young man was eating and gritted his teeth upon seeing him.

"I didn't expect to see you here!" Xiang Yang hadn't expected that even after moving here, he could still see Xu Luo.

His gaze turned cold as he directly dialed someone's number.

"Brother Zhang, I have a mortal enemy. I want to ask you to teach him a lesson. Don't worry about the fee, I'll treat the brothers to drinks at Night Paradise. I'll send you his photo and his route!"

After quickly making the call, Xiang Yang couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Because of Xu Luo, he couldn't enter the elite class and couldn't even stay in his original class. He had to go to another class. Originally, his strength was decent, and he was doing well in the other class. Although he felt very uncomfortable seeing Xu Luo become a genius, he couldn't do anything about it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Luo suddenly became the most powerful civilian genius in the school, and someone revealed the grudge between him and Xu Luo. Instantly, he couldn't stay at No. 6 High School anymore.

Not only that, he didn't know if he had run into bad luck.

Their family's transport fleet was attacked, and then his father was dismissed. Originally, as a member of the Xiang family, he could strut around anywhere. But with his father's dismissal, those who used to play with him now avoided him like the plague. He went from being a rich young master to a stray dog.

Without the Xiang family's support, they could only move out of their original mansion and settle on the 72nd floor.

Although the 72nd floor was very good for ordinary people, compared to before, their quality of life had plummeted.

Xiang Yang was also placed into nearby No. 14 High School through his father's connections.

This series of blows greatly impacted Xiang Yang, gradually leading him to fall and start associating with those who lurked in the dark underbelly of society.

No matter how down-and-out he was, to those common folk, he was still a rich person. They all tried to curry favor with him.

Xiang Yang felt all of this was Xu Luo's fault. His hatred for Xu Luo was boundless, but he had no way to get revenge.

Unexpectedly, Xu Luo had come to his area on his own. So if something happened, what did it matter?

It was so chaotic here. If he ran into those unsavory places on his own and something happened, it would be normal.

The dinner that originally tasted like chewing wax now seemed extremely delicious to Xiang Yang.

This should be the most delicious meal he had eaten since moving into this house.

Thinking about how miserable Xu Luo would be later, Xiang Yang laughed morbidly.

Xu Luo, unaware of all this, had no vigilance.

He was driving his motorcycle in mid-air, while the figures of those racing had already been obscured by the buildings below.

Xu Luo didn't mind this, as it was normal. After a while, those people would reappear.

However, just as he was thinking this, Xu Luo was suddenly surrounded by a group of people.

It wasn't realistic to surround someone in mid-air.

But the current situation was just that. Xu Luo was surrounded by a group of people, each straddling a motorcycle, two people per bike. They all wore black leather jackets, with exposed muscular arms covered in various tattoos. In their hands, they held things like clubs.

Seeing their unfriendly approach, Xu Luo was puzzled.

Is this the aliens' method?

If this was all the skill alien agents had, they were too useless.

Being in mid-air, and with so many opponents, Xu Luo didn't want to fight head-on. He directly started to drive away.

But then he saw a man take out something like a round disc, press a button, and activate a switch.

Xu Luo's expression changed.

That was a flight interference device.

All motorcycles and flying cars relied on magnetic power to achieve levitation. Some people specifically invented things to interfere with magnetic power. At this time, whether flying cars or motorcycles, they would activate emergency landing functions and perform a forced landing.

The other party was planning to bring him down and then deal with him!

"Main Brain, I'm in danger. Can I use my kill permission for self-defense?" While controlling the motorcycle to land, Xu Luo was communicating with the Main Brain.

"Seed No. 4221, student Xu Luo, the current situation is not life-threatening. The Main Brain does not recommend using your kill privilege!" The mechanical voice rejected his request.

"Damn it!" Xu Luo cursed, but there was nothing he could do.

He didn't let the motorcycle land directly on the ground. He wasn't familiar with the situation underground, which was the enemy's home turf. So he randomly chose a place for emergency parking.

There were many such places in the city.

As soon as he stopped, Xu Luo threw his motorcycle aside and ran into the building.

Now he could only run into the building to make the enemies spread out.

Although he had trained at No. 1 High School and his combat ability was indeed better than ordinary people, it didn't mean he had become Superman, able to fight dozens of people at once.

Even an army champion would find it hard to easily handle dozens of burly men armed with weapons surrounding him.

Although he could command wind and rain in God's Domain, in the real world, he was still an undeniable ordinary person.

To change this, he would probably have to wait until he became a Main God.

"Chase!" Seeing Xu Luo run into the building, the leader's face changed.

He was a local boss, collecting protection fees from several nearby blocks. He had reached an understanding with the security team, but it didn't mean he could do whatever he wanted.

He could mess around on the lower levels, easily settling things with a bit of money, but above the 50th floor wasn't so easy.

But thinking of that generous rich young master, his big client who finally had something for him to do, if he messed this up, he knew this person would likely turn to someone else.

For this reason, he was willing to pay a certain price to get this job done properly.

At worst, he'd give that greedy security team captain some benefits to suppress this matter.

It was just teaching someone a lesson. He didn't think it was a big deal.

If it was directly killing the person, he would hesitate a bit, as the price wasn't enough for that.

"Xu Luo, what's going on?" Not seeing Xu Luo, Xu Ran's heart tightened, and she hurriedly called.

With no time to switch, Xu Luo directly used voice call.

"I'm being surrounded and attacked. Now dozens of people are chasing me, but they don't seem like aliens. They're all carrying ordinary weapons."

Xu Luo quickly reported his situation.

In this situation, he wouldn't joke with his life, thinking it was embarrassing to ask for help or anything like that.

"What? You've been attacked?" Xu Ran's heart tightened.

"How are you? Are you injured?"
