In this huge, rattling from the terrible shaking on the rough roads, and driving through a dilapidated city, Kaligo rode along with hundreds of people like him who make easy money, even at the cost of their lives.
The scorching sun did its job, the armored car was so hot that touching the metal parts meant burning the flesh to the bones.
Another problem was the lack of fresh air, people were barely breathing.
Kaligo was terribly thirsty, but he did not see an opportunity to do this.
Fortunately, soon a special purpose detachment, or rather just cannon fodder, arrived at the scene.
People fell out of the armored car and immediately fell to the ground, the stuffiness that stood today could bring down anyone, but not the creatures from the side.
- Scum, this is not the time to cool off, quickly proceed to the elimination of demonic worms.– the man who was sitting in a separate cabin was giving instructions to everyone else, but Kaligo never saw his record.
There were cries of discontent, but a mission is a mission.
Oh, these creatures, terrible and disgusting to the human race, demonic worms.
Huge in length as two Kaligos, and thicker than three, with bristles and sharp outgrowths on the mouth, terrified even adventurers of the clay rank, and what could Kaligo do with his pathetic plastic rank.
A group of a dozen strong men attacked one of the worms, but the worm was not as simple as the result of such a rash attack, two corpses and five wounded.
The worm dragged one poor wounded man deep into the earth, and judging by the heart-rending, tearing through all living cries ....
- KALIGO, CLOSE YOUR EARS, DON'T LISTEN.–Ekutem chutka leaned out of Kaligo's chest, covered his ear with tentacles.
Soon the poor man's suffering was over, forever…
Someone fell into despair, and regretted that he agreed to this horror, and someone fought to the last drop of blood.
The screams reached Kaligo 's ears
- We've caught him, we're dragging him to the armored car faster, to help!!!
Kaligo ran to help, but Ekutem stopped him.
- Hiding under that blockage.– Ekyutem dragged Kaligo.
- Why?
- QUICK, QUESTIONS LATER.
- Yes, I understand, I'm running
Kaligo jumped into the rubble, and at the same moment the worms disappeared from sight.
- Now then, may I ask?
"The queen, the queen of the demonic worms, she's already here, it's too late.
There was a rumble, the ground shook, and a huge, house-sized, demonic worm's jaw came out of the ground to the surface
.
Younger worms crawled after her, and wreaked havoc all over the neighborhood
Panic, screams were heard, from time to time pieces of human flesh flew by that tore off the kids, this huge mother.
- And what should we do?
- Keep a low profile, our task is to survive.
Soon the worms calmed down, and the screams stopped.
The worms and the Queen were about to return to the bowels, but ...
the dust that fell from the top of the blockage tickled Kaligo's nose.
- Hey, hold on, don't you dare...
- UPHCHI
- FUCK
The worms did not ignore this, they were next to Kaligo in the blink of an eye, if Ekyutem had not repelled the blow, everything would have already ended for Kaligo.
- THAT'S A GEM!!!
KALIGO DAMN YOU, WE * HAPPEN.
Ekyutem spread its tentacles and barely repelled the worms' attacks.
- CONTACT THE LEGION
- IT'S NOT WORKING, THE TRANSMITTERS ARE BROKEN.
- S*KA, LET'S GET OUT BEFORE WE GET STUFFED.
"YOU PROMISED TO PROTECT US."
- B*T YOU LOOK AT THIS COLOSSUS, IT WILL DEVOUR US AND NOT SHIT.
Kaligo and Ekyutem ran out from under the rubble to the surface, the sight that appeared before them was not pleasant, a pile of corpses, pools of blood and scraps were all that remained of the entire squad, but there was someone who could still be alive.
- ARMORED CAR, TAKE IT AND GET OUT OF HERE.
- I CAN'T DRIVE
- DO YOU THINK I CAN???
WE HAVE NO CHOICE TO RUN.
Kaligo ran without looking back to the armored car, ducked into the control cabin and closed the door behind him.
- Got through
- WHAT HAPPENED, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE ON***
Kaligo found the autopilot function and turned it on on faith.
"The autonomous control system of the armored vehicle has been launched"
The roar of engines, and the armored car moved off.
The crunch of metal and our armored car was thrown away.
"System Alert"
Damaged fourth and fifth compartments, disconnect to restore speed?
- GET OUT OF THE ***.–Ekyutem apparently was at the limit of the capabilities of his nerve cells.
I understand you, I'm disconnecting the fourth and fifth compartments.
Speed and mobility restored
As soon as Kaligo and Ekutem calmed down, the worms decided to rub their nerves again…
this time by tearing off the roof from the cab
In the voice of Kaligo and Ekyutem said only one thing
- FUCK, WE NEED MAXIMUM ACCELERATION
"System Alert"
Do you want to use Hermes mode?
- WE DON'T *** FUCK** ANYTHING, THE MAIN THING IS TO GET OUT OF HERE
Hermes mode is activated.
Everything that did not belong to the driver's cabin disappeared from the armored car, and the nozzles appeared at the bottom.
Kaligo and Ekyutem were pressed against the seats, the armored car literally took off.
Even the Queen worm couldn't get them anymore.
Kaligo breathed a sigh of relief, there was no limit to joy
- We survived Kaligo, we whitewashed.
- Yes
Suddenly, a groan was heard from behind the seats, the Ecutem instantly returned to Kaligo's chest.
It turned out that a half-dead man was lying behind them all this time, giving instructions to the squad.
Kaligo walked up to him, and the man grabbed his clothes.
- You, you…
- Calm down, we are flying to the Legion, everything will be fine, we are safe.
The man in uniform breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep on the floor of the armored car.
