Inside the RV, Kira, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror after hearing the system notification. Sure enough, two modified trucks were speeding towards them.
It's… the pursuers!
Kira's beautiful eyes widened. Realizing that the two trucks behind them were pursuers, she didn't waste any time and immediately stepped on the gas pedal to increase their speed.
Chloe, sitting in the passenger seat, was startled by the system notification, but quickly calmed down after feeling the RV accelerating.
The main thing is to speed up and not get caught.
Inside the RV.
"Jason, there are two trucks behind us," Ellie reported to Jason, looking out the window.
Two pursuers…
Jason cursed his bad luck. Not only did they not find an abandoned gas station, but they were also targeted by pursuers.
In addition to the unified hunting time, pursuers can also act alone to invade the highway and hunt down escapees.
The pursuers Jason was encountering now were naturally acting alone, like they were doing freelance work for extra money.
It was just bad luck for whoever ran into them.
Jason first went to the driver's seat to make sure Kira was driving okay, and then started thinking about how to deal with the pursuers behind them.
He had some banana peels, ink, and other racing items in the RV. But since they didn't have a vehicle-mounted launcher, they couldn't use them yet.
So Jason had to resort to the old method: throwing sofas.
…
On the highway.
Kira drove the RV, gradually increasing the speed to 75 mph (120 km/h), while the two trucks caught up during the RV's acceleration.
The distance between them was only about 30 feet. The speed difference between the two trucks and the RV wasn't significant. It was difficult for the trucks to catch up with the RV at full speed on the highway, and it was also difficult for the RV to shake off the trucks.
The three vehicles drove in a triangular formation on the highway.
But soon, something unexpected happened. Several sofas suddenly appeared in front of the two trucks.
Bang! Bang!
The two trucks collided with the suddenly appearing sofas, and the sofas were smashed on the spot by the high-speed trucks.
One of the trucks had a protective film on its body. It was not affected at all by hitting the sofa, easily pushed the sofa away, and continued to drive very steadily.
The other truck didn't have a protective film. Although it also smashed the sofa, its speed decreased a lot and it fell behind.
Throwing sofas?
The beastmen demihumans in the two trucks were stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that this was the RV in front of them trying to deal with them.
In the truck in front, a minotaur beastman sneered, "Interesting, but mere obstacles can't stop my truck."
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
The minotaur glanced at a small pendant in the truck. His truck had a pendant that granted a protective film, so he didn't care about low-level obstacles like sofas at all.
Then, the minotaur took out an acceleration pack and used this racing item without hesitation.
In the next moment, his truck's speed soared immediately, reaching over 120 mph, catching up with the RV in front at an extremely fast speed.
During this time, the RV threw out several more sofas, but they were all easily pushed away by the protective film outside the truck, having no effect at all.
Of course, the protective film became much dimmer after hitting several sofas, indicating that the protective film also had energy consumption.
The next moment…
Bang!!
The truck collided heavily with the RV. Because the truck's speed was too fast, the RV was unable to drive normally.
Kira, who was driving, naturally wouldn't sit still and do nothing. She turned the steering wheel, trying to knock the truck away.
But at this time, the truck's speed was over 120 mph, which the RV at 60 mph (100 km/h) couldn't possibly knock away.
"Damn it." Jason didn't expect this truck to be so fierce. It must have used an acceleration item. Obviously, they came prepared to ambush us on the highway.
"Everyone, grab your weapons and prepare for battle. If we don't kill these two pursuers, they won't give up."
The women in the RV all changed their expressions. They all heard the seriousness in Jason's tone and took out their weapons one after another. Even Tiffany and Sophie took their crossbows, preparing to provide ranged support.
Jason estimated the strength of both sides. The strength of the two pursuers was D+ Rank in all attributes.
Jason and his Shadow Doppelganger were also D+ Rank in all attributes, so the difference between the two sides was not significant in a two-on-two fight.
But Jason could only barely adapt to fighting with his main body and doppelganger. If he faced two D+ Rank pursuers at the same time, he would definitely be overwhelmed and unable to win.
But Jason also had a trump card.
The key to the real comeback was Chloe's Spiritual Shock.
Fortunately, Jason still had more than 40 Favor Points left, which could strengthen Chloe's Spirit attribute to D+ Rank, enough to deal with the two pursuers. Jason immediately exchanged four D-Rank Attribute Orbs for Chloe.
"Chloe, absorb these four Attribute Orbs to strengthen your Spirit attribute. This battle will depend on your Spiritual Shock."
"I understand, Hubby." Chloe took the Attribute Orbs, nodding solemnly.
Jason gave her the skill book before precisely to prepare for this situation. Now, whether they could get through this crisis depended entirely on her.
Just as Jason was preparing for battle, the RV's speed was also constantly decreasing.
The minotaur used the acceleration pack item, surpassed the RV, and used his vehicle body to block in front of the RV, forcing Kira to stop.
Bang!
Another truck from behind also caught up, hitting the RV's rear end hard.
Part of the RV's glass shattered, and the rear was also badly damaged. If it weren't for the installed Vehicle Body Armor, the entire RV would probably have been smashed.
Seeing this, the women in the RV all changed their expressions and their eyes turned red.
They had long regarded the RV as their home, and now seeing the RV being hit so hard by the two trucks, their hearts were bleeding.
"I'm so angry." Ellie took her flintlock pistols, eager to get out of the car immediately and shoot the two pursuers to death.
"Don't be impatient." Jason comforted the women. He still had two Vehicle Repair Toolboxes in the RV. Even if the RV was smashed, it could be repaired.
What Jason had to do now was to take the women and kill the two pursuers.
Buzz
On the highway, an RV and two trucks were entangled together, and their speeds were constantly decreasing.
A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the minotaur and gnoll in the two trucks.
Next, as long as they forced the RV to stop, they could easily take down the RV with their strength.
The two sides drove on the highway for more than a minute, and the three vehicles finally stopped on the highway.
The two trucks sandwiched the RV in the middle, one in front and one behind, but neither side got out of the car immediately.
In fact, if Jason hadn't installed the 1-Star Vehicle Body Armor, the two trucks wouldn't have forced the RV to stop at all, but would have completely smashed the RV.
But after Jason installed the Vehicle Body Armor, it was also very difficult for the two trucks to ram, and they were also likely to damage their own trucks, so they chose to force the RV to stop.
The three vehicles stopped on the highway for a while. After confirming that each other would not drive again, Jason opened the car door, directly rushed out of the RV with his Shadow Doppelganger, and then rushed towards the two trucks separately.
A minotaur holding a large axe also jumped out of the truck in front and fought with the Shadow Doppelganger.
A gnoll holding a long spear jumped out of the truck behind and fought with Jason.
Chloe and the other women also followed closely behind and got out of the RV to support the Shadow Doppelganger and Jason.
A battle with pursuers appeared on the highway.
