As soon as we exited the building. We followed the girl while she started to walk towards a futuristic looking SUV car.
She just tapped on the headliner when suddenly the car's doors slide up.
"Get in."
Without waiting for our reply, she got inside the car.
We were a little bit amazed but now was not the time for that. So we quickly got inside the car. Suddenly the doors automatically closed. Then a virtual screen popped up on the windshield.
"Welcome back Fox. Glad to see you're safe."
"Thanks Eva."
I looked dumbfounded while listening to their conversation when Max blurted out.
"Fuck!! That's a REAL A.I right there."
After he finished his sentence, The girl started to drive.
While she was driving, I saw the car kept on accelerating. The car was starting to move so fast that I suddenly started to regret staying inside the car with this girl as the driver.
"God bless me."
I started prayed in my mind while turning my gaze to Max. Well..... from the looks of it I think he won't be getting on a car anytime soon in the future.
While she was speeding up on the road, we started to arrive in commercial area. We were amazed by the scene of such futuristic city.we saw all kinds of amazing thing. There were several tall buildings with a hologram showing some kind of ad on its wall, Many futuristic looking vehicles on the road going somewhere, people with cool and stylish clothes walking down the footpath. I even saw some people wearing bionic arms and legs.
while we were admiring the uniqueness outside the window, I saw several vehicles chasing us from behind. When they came to a certain distance, several armed men leaned out from the windows of those vehicles and started to shoot at us while the girl suddenly shouted.
"Get down!"
We instantly got our heads down as much as we could. Bullets rained on our car. We could feel it from the sound it made when it hit the car.
"Are those guns only for decoration or you're gonna even shoot with it?!"
Oh yeah, we nearly forgot that we had guns in our hand. Then I looked at Max and said,
"You're ready?"
He nodded in reply.
"GO!!"
As soon as I said that I leaned out of the rear window and aimed my rifle at the incoming vehicles. Then taking a deep breath I hold it and pulled the trigger.
"*BANG"
It hit right on the.... asphalt road. Well what can I say? You don't become a professional shooter the next minute you hold a gun.
"*BANG"
"*BANG"
"*BANG"
I saw Max firing his gun. My eyes were wide open. All those shots had hit the windshield of one of the vehicle. It passed right through the windshield and hit the driver on the chest.
The driver started to lose his control over the vehicle. Then he fell on his right side while steering the wheel in the same direction. I could see those armed men inside the vehicle panicking while trying to take control of the wheel. But it was too late.
Soon the vehicle started steering towards an incoming truck. The truck driver was shocked while trying his best to steer away from it but still couldn't make it.
"*CRASH"
"Well that's one down."
Max said calmly but his hands were shaking crazily. I knew that he was just trying his best not to freak out. Why? The man just killed somebody for the first time. I mean who the hell would be not shocked and he just killed a group of armed men.
I raised my hand and hit him hard on his shoulder and said with a reassuring voice.
"You did what you had to do Max. If you hadn't kill them, they would have us killed."
Max looked at me and nodded. He started to calm down and replied,
"There's more of them. We should continue firing at them."
"Okay."
Then we both again leaned outside the rear window and started to exchange bullets with the incoming vehicles.
"*BANG"
"*BANG,*BANG,*BANG"
"*BANG,*BANG"
This time I started to get better at shooting. Many of the shots landed on the vehicles while the rest... Well still on the asphalt road. But Max? 90% of the bullets fired by him land on the car. Some even landed on the leaning armed men's throats and heads killing them swiftly.
"Dammit! I'm out of ammos."
I took out my beretta M9 pistol with its extra bullets and handed to him.
"Take this."
"Thanks."
Max replied and tooked the pistol and its extra ammos, reloaded it and started to shoot back again.
I started to get better and better at shooting the more I shot at the vehicles. Then then suddenly,
'*click,*click"
"*click"
Both Max and me looked at each other.
"We're out of bullets."
"Now what?"
I replied and looked at the girl. Then the girl suddenly said,
"Eva. 'Auto drive' mode."
"Understood. Initiating 'Auto drive' mode." Eva replied in a soft voice.
"Set destination to Vanity Tunnel."
"Destination:Vanity Tunnel. Set."
Then she press on a button. Suddenly a futuristic looking miniature RPG-7 which looked like a toy appeared from the seat side to her.
"What's she gonna do with that toy. Play with the incoming armed men behind us?"
I said with a small voice to Max.
"I don't know. maybe blast up a miniature tank?"
As we were talking to ourselves, the girl leaned outside the window, aimed at the incoming vehicle and pulled the trigger.
"*Wuuuush"
And it hit on the windshield of the incoming vehicle. Then the vehicle exploded. We wouldn't be so surprised if it did just that. What it did was blow up the vehicle with such force that the vehicle turned into smithereens. With the headliner flying vertically upward upto 20m.
We stopped talking because we were too shocked to say anything. The girl got inside the car and started to take a nap.
From that day onwards we decided to never judge a book by its cover. After looking at the girl taking a nap like she had done something insignificant, we also started to feel sleepy. Fighting with those gunmen had really tired us out.
"Should we take a nap too?"
"Of course, you never know when there might be another battle we have to fight."
"You've got a point."
So we also decided to take a nap. It's been a long tiring journey. I took a deep breath and exhale while closing my eyelids then felt into a deep sleep.
