"System," Raka called out breathlessly, "please tell me that arrow wasn't a stray one. Tell me there was someone there who deliberately saved our asses."

    The left monster's bowling ball-sized fist slammed into his friend's temple. The middle monster's skull cracked instantly, his eyes turned white, and his massive body began to topple."One," Raka counted.Using the back of the falling middle monster as a runway, Raka jumped towards the right Tank Monster.The right monster was in a low jumping position, intending to crush Raka."You want to play stacking? Come on," Raka grinned, showing off the blood that covered his teeth.Raka maneuvered, twisting his body in midair to avoid the monster's grip by mere centimeters.When he was right behind the monster's head, Raka grabbed the small horns on the monster's back and pulled it down at supersonic speed.The monster's body spun in the air, losing control.Raka released his grip and kicked the monster's back towards the lef

    Raka stood on the brink of death. Three giant Tank-type Sleepers stood in a circle before him, blocking his only path to safety.Raka's hands were shaking violently. The small glass bottle containing the strong espresso clinked softly against the metal ring of its cap.It was the only weapon he had. However, it was also the most deadly poison for his body at the moment.A blood-red warning suddenly appeared on his retina, causing his vision to be blocked.[WARNING: CRITICAL CARDIAC STABILITY.][Current Heart Rate: 110 BPM (Decreasing Rapidly).[Blood Vessel Integrity: 18%.][Analysis: Adding stimulants in this condition will cause Total Heart Failure.[You will explode from the inside.

    [Beautiful assist! Looks like your 'Guardian Angel' at the water tower is in a good mood. Let's run faster, don't waste the bullets!]"I'm trying, damn it!"Raka jumped across the gap between buildings. His heart was pounding.Thud-thud. Thud-thud. Thud-thud.A burning sensation spread throughout her body. It wasn't just a result of running; it was the caffeine's extreme calorie-burning effect.Raka feels the roles are reversed now.Until now, Baginda had always been the shield, the wall that took the blows. Now, Raka was his feet and his protector."I won't let you die, Baginda," Raka whispered between heavy breaths. "You're the only 'person' I have in this hell."Baginda responded by pressing his head against Raka's cheek. The warmth of the swan's body gave Raka a morale boost.The water tower d

He followed an imaginary straight line drawn from the tail of the black arrow still in the asphalt.His gaze then spread upwards, past the rows of burnt-out shophouses, then across the dangling, broken electric cables until finally stopping at a point in the distance.A water tower.At its peak, a large cylindrical water tower reflects the orange light of the afternoon sun.The distance was probably around five hundred meters, a distance impossible for an ordinary human to aim accurately.A blue dialog box appeared, flashing casually in front of Raka's face.[Trajectory Analysis: 99.9% Intentional.][Someone up

    [There's no gap, you idiot. This is a sea of ​​flesh. Your running speed is useless if there's no ground to stand on. You'll slip on top of their bodies and be eaten alive in seconds.]"So what should I do?! Fly?!" Raka shouted in frustration.A mutant rat jumped from the front row and lunged at Raka's calf. Its sharp, yellow teeth ripped through Raka's pants."Ah!"Raka kicked the rat reflexively. The rat's body felt solid and heavy as it flew off his feet."Get away from me, you damn pest!"The situation quickly deteriorated. The rats weren't just biting. They were climbing. They crept up Raka's shoes, trying to reach his thighs and waist.On the other hand, Baginda was also struggling hard. Three mice had jumped onto the swan's back. Biting its wings and neck."KWARK! HONK!"Baginda screamed in

    But then he felt a new strength within him. His heart had been upgraded to a speed he had never experienced before.A hint of arrogance began to creep into his heart.“No,” he said quietly. Not at Baginda but more at himself. “I won't run anymore.”He looked back, looking at Baginda who had flown down from the washing machine. "Wait here."Baginda just tilted his head as if to say, "don't do anything stupid."Raka grinned. Even though Baginda didn't speak, he knew what the swan meant. "I'm just testing my new machine."He downed the rest of his coffee in one gulp and began to feel his heart rate rise rapidly. He stepped out of the shophouse and into the shadows of the wrecked car to approach the Bellringer. The creature didn't notice him and continued walking.Raka's plan was simple: get close, enter Bullet Time mode , destroy th
