Doomsday Pillars

Dday #510

Nevada, Las Vegas

VROOOOOM!

An orange color \'baby\' Porsche  924 Carrera GT could be seen speeding through the Las Vegas Freeway, heading in the north direction. The beautiful sound that the V10 engine generated was roaring throughout the road as it was being driven by an Asian man. Sitting next to him was a native American dressed in soldier uniform.

"Woohoooo!!! Such a beauty!! Who the hell manages to get this car up and working again?!!" said the Asian man as his foot pressed the pedal to its end, accelerating the car to its maximum potential as it sped through the freeway that was filled with many abandoned and wrecked cars.

There was an earpiece on his ear, where a woman\'s voice could be heard speaking.

[Please keep your focus, Mister James! In 500 meters! Take the left exit to Bruce Woodbury Beltway!]

Alas, the Asian man called James was too exhilarated by the thrill of driving such a luxurious car at full speed that he didn\'t answer the woman\'s voice.

Noticing that there was no reply from the other side, the woman\'s voice was heard once again. This time, it was full of worries.

[Mister James?! Do you hear me?!! I repeat, do you hear me?! Mister Jamess!!]

"Yes!! I know! I know!! Can\'t you give me a break already?! Don\'t you realize how many of those dogs I must dodge?!"

Immediately, the woman\'s voice was heard from the earpiece.

[Mister James, it\'s imperative that you don\'t take the wrong exit or we will fail the mission!]

"Don\'t worry! I have buddy Nathanael here! Everything is going to be alright!" James said in a casual manner.

Right at the moment he spoke those words, a fiery looking dog jumped into the middle of the lane their speeding car was about to pass.

However, James didn\'t even have a chance to say anything, much less do something, as in the blink of an eye, the man sitting next to him had cut open the car roof and swung an ax that seemingly came out of nowhere at the dog, splitting its body into two equal parts.

"NO!!" James screamed, a horrified expression on his face. "You destroyed the car!!!"

Even though he was upset by Nathanael\'s action of ruining the beautiful car he was driving, James didn\'t lose his focus and quickly spun the steering wheel, making the car turn left and taking the exit to the Beltway just as instructed."

Right as the car turned and entered the Beltway, it was shown that hundreds of those fiery looking dogs had been chasing after the car the two rode in. Thanks to the turn, the car speed slowed slightly which made some of the dogs caught up.

Fortunately, Nathanael was prepared and quickly cut any dog that threatened to land themself into a free ride. Knowing that they would be screwed if the car kept its current speed, James pressed the gas pedal again and drove the car as fast as possible, trying to get away from the crazed dogs.

Seeing that they once again gained distance, the quiet native American man calmly grabbed a bag placed on the back seat and took out a belt full of military grenades. Immediately, he pulled out all the grenades\' pins from their sockets at the same time and threw them toward the chasing monsters.

Kaaboomm!! Kaboomm!! Kabooomm!!

A loud continuous ear-piercing sound echoed in the air as consecutive explosions rapidly appeared at the intersection in an instant. The sound it created was so loud that it awakened something even more disastrous than the hundreds of fiery looking dogs.

It was as if the explosions had become the alarm clock that roused all the monsters that were hidden and slumber inside the abandoned city. Hundreds… thousands of hell hounds as well as tens of thousands of critters coming out of every building within Las Vegas City as they swiftly made their way towards the source of the commotion.

VROOOOOOOMMM!!!

If one were to be in the air at this moment, they would certainly see the sight of tens of thousands of human-eating creatures flooding the road and chasing after a lone orange sports car.

"The whole city came for the party!! Woo-hoo!!"

James quickly changed to the next gear transmission before pressing the gas pedal again, blowing up the V10 engine, as the orange cheetah roared throughout the road. As if they were in an ensemble, the thousands of fiery looking dogs chasing after it also unleashed loud growls.

The car drove past the luxurious and sky-reaching buildings of Las Vegas City while still being chased by a literal tsunami of bloodthirsty creatures. It didn\'t take long for James and Nathanael to reach the outskirts of the city and enter the desert, where the distance between them and the creatures who wanted to have a bite of them slowly but surely widened.

Once again, the woman\'s voice sounded from his earpiece.

[You did it, Mister James. Now, you just have to continue driving north. We are around five kilometers ahead from your current position.]

Hearing that, James laughed loudly. "What did I tell you?! You can definitely put your trust on me, James Randall. Whether it\'s driving a sports car or a pretty girl, both are my forte. You see, this is all easy peas-"

Before James could finish his sentence, one of the car tires suddenly blew up and at the current speed of the Porsche, it instantly made the car skidded to the side and sent the car flipping over on the freeway.

Baammm!! Bammmm!!!

Just before the car crashed into the gutter, Nathanael quickly grabbed James off his driver seat and jumped out of the car by kicking his own side of the door. The two flew out of the still overturned car and landed heavily on the scorching desert road.

Nathanael together with James rolled on the ground to disperse their momentum. Immediately after, they stood up and checked their situation. 

They were both glad that they managed to get out of the wrecked car safely, but as soon as they turned around, they knew they were far from the word \'safe\'. Just hundreds of meters away from them, the danger they ran away from was still chasing them. 

In fact, they seemed to have grown even more ferocious when they saw their prey lose their means of transportation.

James immediately panicked when he saw the trauma-inducing sight of countless vicious creatures revealing their sharp teeths.

"RUN!!"

The two of them quickly ran north. However, even though he had an artifact on him, James was still a lower Sky realm fighter. He couldn\'t possibly match the speed that Nathanael displayed, a mid Sky realm wind spirit enhancer.

As the two continued to run with thousands of hordes of monsters following right behind them, James couldn\'t help but scream when he saw that he was falling behind.

"Buddyy!! Wait!!! Wait for me buddy!!"

When he saw the situation turn dire, Nathanael quickly cast [Windwalk] on himself and grabbed the panicked Asian. 

With James in his tow, Nathanael immediately felt the extra burden. Even so, he only gritted his teeth silently and continued speeding off toward the north.

They ran and continued to run north, but the monsters chasing after them were still not that far behind them. Some of them even managed to catch up. Fortunately, Nathanael managed to quickly dispatch them before continuing their escape.

Several minutes later, after a do-or-die run where they spent everything their body got, the two could finally ease the worry in their hearts as they saw the designated location where they were supposed to be going by car.

There, dozens of tanks and hundreds of machine guns were set up. Hundreds of military personnels wearing U.S Army uniforms were seen crowding the road. It was apparent that the American armed forces had prepared their banquet and were completely ready to welcome the hordes of monsters coming their way.

Seeing the enormous cloud of dust behind the two people, Captain Marcus quickly gave the order.

"Ready!!! Fire!!!"

Assault rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, grenades; all kinds of firearms were fired at the waves of creatures. Countless critters and hellhounds were killed by the explosions the rocket launchers and grenades caused, while numerous others died under the relentless barrage of bullets.

However, the loud commotion caused by this direct clash between humankind and monsters seemed to have attracted even more monsters from Las Vegas. More and more monsters came out of the city and joined their kin in their endeavor of breaking through the blockade.

James, who had been let go by Nathanael, entered the defensive line and quickly made his way to the HQ where the woman who had been speaking to him through the earpiece. As he walked through the place, he spoke to his microphone.

"Team B you are Go! Rescue mission is a go!"
