The King of Black Fog

Li Qianxia and Bi baked a tray of oddly shaped crackers. Just as everyone was about to start eating, Yafeiluna reported that the squirrels had arrived, and the polar bear woman was with them.

"Let them in," Li Changzhou put down the overly sweet cracker.

Soon, the six gray mists formed the molecular structure of graphite (hexagonal), escorting the squirrel and the polar bear woman in with the air of taking a prisoner.

"Found them, Boss Black Mist! There's a group of them!" As soon as the squirrel saw Li Changzhou, it eagerly reported its findings.

Li Changzhou didn't look at it; his gaze lingered on the polar bear woman instead.

The polar bear woman still had that lazy expression, her palms reattached. She was wearing men's work clothes with a large expanse of snow-white skin visible at the neckline, instantly revealing that she wore nothing underneath.

"Why are you here?" It was Li Qianxia who asked. She was enjoying the crackers, clearly one that hadn't had too much sugar added.

Bi nibbled on her piece while sneakily glancing at Yang Qinglan from time to time, who calmly looked at the cracker in her hand.

"He told me to go somewhere without surveillance, and I had nowhere to go," the polar bear woman replied.

"Following us is just as dangerous, you have to think it through," Li Changzhou said as he took a cracker handed to him by Yang Qinglan and bit into it without hesitation.

"If there's danger, I'll run away," the polar bear woman stated candidly.

"Any way is fine, just don't hinder us. You protect Yafeiluna during this time," Li Changzhou said. He put down the cracker and picked up a bottle of glacier mineral water, guzzling it down.

Damn, thyme, basil leaves, rosemary, yellow mustard, gulas, all present—what a steal.

Setting down the bottle, he wiped his mouth and got up: "Let's go, we need to hurry up."

After quickly packing their things, the group left the café and found a deep sea blue SUV Skoda parked by the roadside.

The polar bear woman was muscular and tall but overall slender. She squeezed into the back seat with Li Qianxia, Bi, and Yafeiluna, at most just thigh against thigh, not too cramped.

As for the squirrel, it stood on the dashboard like an ornament.

As Yang Qinglan fastened her seat belt, Li Qianxia's gaze traveled around the car, then she said with a teasing smile:

"Bro, they are all girls."

"Isn't there a guy here?" Li Changzhou glanced at the squirrel.

"It can be changed, it can be changed!" The squirrel stood up in fright, leaning against the car window as if struck by "Attract And Repel," "I've seen such a skill before, one that can change sex. I've wanted to be a female squirrel for a long time!"

"..."

The brother was speechless and simply started the car.

The sister who had sparked the conversation couldn't afford to stay silent, since after all, she was a kind-hearted young girl at heart: "I was just joking, you mustn't force yourself!"

The squirrel was about to say something else but was interrupted by Li Changzhou asking for directions, and it hastily replied: "Dancing House."

Li Qianxia didn't continue to stir things up, instead, she chatted quietly with Bi, occasionally asking the polar bear woman about her feelings on becoming a fairy.

Yang Qinglan sat in the passenger seat, clear, bright eyes observing her surroundings.

Life in Prague seemed to have come to a halt; shops were closed, and the streets were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Without sunlight, the scene before them could have been mistaken for a deep, silent night.

To save time, Li Changzhou drove faster and faster, soon exceeding two hundred kilometers per hour.

It was manageable in the open districts, but even in the bustling areas filled with obstacles and evacuating citizens, he did not slow down.

"Be careful," Yang Qinglan said, gripping the handle and slightly frowning.

Li Changzhou laughed: "I've seen a lot of this. When I was at the Counter-Terrorist Training Base in Battlegrounds, there wasn't a day I wasn't — buckle up!"

Suddenly, the car crested a downhill slope, the Skoda lifted into the air, all four wheels truly off the ground, then it crashed heavily back onto the road.

The car first rebounded, then compressed, and in the moment it lifted, it seemed as if it would burst apart like popcorn, then with a loud bang, it compressed back down.

Bi, floating in the air, covered her head, tears welling in her eyes; she had hit the roof of the car.

Yafeiluna kept her eyes tightly shut, feeling as though not just her body but all her organs were shaking.

The polar bear woman grabbed the front seat's backrest with one hand and braced herself against the car roof with the other, remaining steadily composed.

The squirrel clung tightly to the dashboard, its body fluttering in the car like a flag.

"Bro—" Li Qianxia shouted.

"What's up?"

Seeing a curve ahead, Li Changzhou flicked the steering wheel and revved the engine.

The Skoda slithered through the grass and stones like a foraging snake, twisting its body through everything with disregard, as if it were a supercar on the highway.

The words Li Qianxia wanted to say were stifled by the maneuvers, and she too lost control of her body.

Yang Qinglan had long employed "Attract And Repel" on herself, turning the back seat into the ground so she could firmly stick to it. Still, she was occasionally flung in one direction or another.

The only person in the car who remained unfazed and grew increasingly excited was Li Changzhou.

When faced with the terrible road conditions, he exuded confidence like the invincible hero of a movie.

Turning, accelerating, weaving, drifting, breaking through—the hearts of everyone in the car were constantly in their throats, with no time to settle back down.

The pressure and air tight against their faces felt like a layer of cling film, making it difficult to breathe.

Approaching the 'Dancing House' (a landmark building), unmanned drones suddenly increased in number nearby, along with numerous soldiers.

"You picked such a player for me?" Li Changzhou asked as he accelerated, addressing the squirrel that was flying parallel to the ground.

The squirrel couldn't hear anything; its eyes were shut tight, feeling like it could die at any moment.

Several drones equipped with thermal imaging capable of seeing through the 'Invisibility Lantern' spotted them. Following that, eight bomb-carrying drones dove into a building on the right.
