A two-lane highway.
No vehicles in sight.
Past midnight.
A stream of headlights rolled across the deserted, eerie road, their speed unimpeded. At a rough count, more than a dozen vehicles sped through the darkness.
They belonged to Ling Qingyu.
Among them, the Range Rovers carrying Maria and her fiancé remained protected within the convoy.
The formation slowed slightly as a commercial truck came into view, parked ahead on the roadside.
Boom! Boom!
Just then, two balls of fire erupted from the roadside, exploding with thunderous blasts.
Two fast-moving projectiles streaked toward the convoy.
A few meters before impact, tiny sparks burst from the targeted vehicles.
Boom! Boom!
Two explosions blossomed in midair, illuminating the night as the incoming projectiles were intercepted and safely detonated before reaching their targets.
Even so, the shockwaves washed over the nearest vehicles.
The two Range Rovers trembled violently.
