Shen Jingqi gripped the steering wheel tightly, his brain operating at high speed. He quickly turned the wheel, and the car reversed onto the road they came from.
The Mechanical Giant seemed to detect their intention and took giant strides, chasing after the car. The sound of its footsteps made the ground tremble, as if an earthquake was imminent.
The car sped crazily down the highway, Shen Jingqi flooring the accelerator. His eyes were fixed ahead with only one thought in his mind: escape the Mechanical Giant and survive.
However, the Mechanical Giant's speed increased, and the distance between it and the car gradually decreased. Xu An looked at the rearview mirror as the Mechanical Giant got closer, his heart filled with despair: "Jingqi, we can't get away, what do we do?"
Shen Jingqi didn't respond to Xu An, a hint of resolve showing in his eyes. Suddenly, he saw a narrow mountain valley ahead, its sides sheer cliffs.
"I've got it, let's enter the valley," Shen Jingqi said, quickly steering the car into the valley.
The Mechanical Giant reached the valley's entrance, but due to its large size, it couldn't enter. It roared angrily at the valley's entrance, swinging its massive arms, trying to smash the rocks blocking the entrance.
Shen Jingqi and Xu An stopped the car in the valley and both sighed with relief. But they didn't completely relax, knowing the Mechanical Giant wouldn't give up easily and would try to enter the valley.
"Jingqi, what should we do next?" Xu An looked at Shen Jingqi with expectation in his eyes.
Shen Jingqi frowned, scanning the valley for a place to hide. Suddenly, he spotted a concealed cave on one side of the valley.
"Let's go to that cave," Shen Jingqi said, and they quickly ran towards the cave.
Inside the cave, they found it spacious and dry. Shen Jingqi gathered some stones and branches to partially block the entrance, leaving a small slit to observe outside.
"We're temporarily safe, but we have to think of a way to deal with the Mechanical Giant," Shen Jingqi said, sitting in the cave and pondering a strategy.
Xu An looked at Shen Jingqi, filled with admiration: "Jingqi, you always have a way. I believe you can come up with a solution to deal with the Mechanical Giant."
Shen Jingqi nodded, various plans for dealing with the Mechanical Giant forming in his mind. But each plan carried certain risks, and he had to consider carefully.
While they were thinking of a strategy, a rustling sound came from outside the cave. Shen Jingqi and Xu An were startled, quickly grabbing their weapons and watching the entrance warily.
"Is it possible the Mechanical Giant found us here?" Xu An asked in fear.
Shen Jingqi didn't speak, his eyes fixed on the entrance. As the sound grew nearer, a mutated mechanical creature appeared at the entrance. It was shaped like a huge spider, covered with sharp spikes, its eyes glowing green.
"Not good, it's a mutated mechanical creature," Shen Jingqi tensed, rushing toward the creature with his weapon.
The mechanical creature saw Shen Jingqi charging and opened its large mouth, letting out a sharp scream before lunging at him. Shen Jingqi skillfully dodged its attacks while stabbing the creature's body with his weapon.
Xu An helped from the side, throwing stones at the creature to distract it. Their combined effort gradually overwhelmed the creature.
However, just as they thought they might defeat the creature, more rustling sounds came from outside. Shen Jingqi and Xu An felt their hearts sink, knowing more mutated mechanical creatures were coming.
"Jingqi, what do we do? There are so many mechanical creatures; we're no match for them," Xu An shouted in panic.
Shen Jingqi gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a hint of determination: "Don't panic, let's hold on a bit longer; maybe we can find a chance to escape."
With more mutated mechanical creatures entering the cave, Shen Jingqi and Xu An felt increased pressure. Wounds started appearing on their bodies, and blood stained their clothes. But they didn't give up, fiercely resisting the creatures' attacks.
Just as despair loomed over them, a massive explosion sounded outside the cave. The mechanical creatures seemed distracted by the explosion and ran towards the cave's exit.
Shen Jingqi and Xu An felt a surge of joy. They didn't know what happened outside, but it was their chance to escape. They quickly grabbed their weapons and followed the creatures out of the cave.
When they emerged from the cave, they saw the Mechanical Giant battling a group of mysterious people. These mysterious figures wore odd attire, wielding advanced weapons, their attacks overwhelming the Mechanical Giant.
"Jingqi, who are these people? How did they get here?" Xu An asked in surprise.
Shen Jingqi shook his head, also unaware of the strangers' origins. But he knew it was a good chance to escape the Mechanical Giant. He pulled Xu An to the side to watch the battle unfold.
Under the mysterious people's assault, the Mechanical Giant was gradually overwhelmed. It was covered in wounds, its movements becoming sluggish. Suddenly, a leader among the strangers raised his weapon, firing a beam of intense light directly at the Mechanical Giant's core.
The Mechanical Giant let out a massive roar and then fell to the ground with a crash. The mutated mechanical creatures, seeing the Giant collapse, scattered in all directions.
The setting sun looked like blood, dyeing the horizon a strange orange-red. The mysterious people stood silently at the chaotic battle's edge, their gazes coolly surveying the surroundings. The smoke hadn't completely dissipated, lingering in the air with a sharp metallic burn and a faint scent of blood. The fierce battle had just ended, shattered mechanical parts were scattered everywhere, some still sparking, hissing like they were recounting the battle's brutality.
Shen Jingqi and Xu An hid behind a huge rock, their hearts still pounding. Their breaths were rapid and heavy, sweat forming beads on their foreheads, their shirts soaked with cold sweat. The Mechanical Giant's huge body, fierce attacks, and deafening roars still haunted their minds like a nightmare. Each boom felt like a sledgehammer striking their hearts.
