The Emergency Food

As his eyebrows frowned. The mist started to act weird, but due to its thick composition, it was impossible to tell if something was wrong, but that only applied to normal players.

"Tornado can you hear me?! Why are you ignoring me?" She said as she appeared out of nowhere next to his shoulders and her cute, small voice entering his ears. Tornado immediately turned his head towards the source and found out who talking to him.

It was a small girl wearing ancient clothes with patterns on her head, her size was a two-year-old toddler. She had no wings yet could float in the air.

"What are you? A pet?" He guessed.

The game has pets as accessories but rare to mythical tier could increase one's status by a few digits and percent.

"A pet? Why did you think I'm a pet? Have you ever heard a pet talking like me?"

She got a point, a pet was just a mob with a mid-tier level of an AI. While this girl right here was more than a pet and possibly more than an AI.

Speaking of the AI tier, Erena is a high-tier AI. It could think like a human yet it couldn't speak, only a roar and a shriek escaped from her mouth, and speak of the devil.

ROAR!!

The ground was trembling and after that roar, which was enough to make a human's leg turned soft into a jelly. The mist that once smelled like blood changed into that of gasoline, this smell makes a lot of people enjoy it despite its noxious aroma while others find it nasty.

As soon the smell spread within the mist, he immediately knew that it was one of Erena doing, but here's the problem. He never knew that Erena could do this. Is this her fruit of evolution? He thought to himself.

The game has many mysteries that were unresolved until now. Like zombies that use unknown ability or zombies that were evolved ignoring the system. Such cases were very rare.

"Tornado, if you don't escape you'll die. Just to let you know I've only existed for three minutes after you activate the Golden Easter egg."

So you don't want to die young? Yeah, me too.

Tornado immediately ordered the two robots to stop. If they continue, the bullets would react with the mist.

Afterward, he gave them a machete and a chainsaw while he using a Katana. Hoping that Erena not acting rash, he prepared himself but the latter just a mutant monster beast, it was a futile act to hope something from it.

From the distance, Tornado could hear a crackling voice, like that of a firecracker when lit up.

His eyes grew to widen upon realizing what that bit*h was up to, it wanted to explode so that both of them die together, she going to become a kamikaze!

Then, considering the gasoline in the form of a mist, no matter how high his level was, an explosion that about to occurred surely enough to kill him despite his max point perks to minimize explosion damage by 50%

"How should I call you? You're an AI, right? Surely, you could help us get out of here." His voice turned into a grim one and his face was darkened.

"I would help you... but, here's the thing. I just came here without knowing anything, so...."

"So you're saying that you're no different than any pets?"

She wanted to retaliate against his words but his words made sense. She forced a smile and let out a cute voice, hoping the other party would calm down before lecturing her.

"Ehe."

What do you mean by 'ehe'?! You're an AI, how in the world you didn't know anything, that's violating the rule of how AI works! Tornado was speechless.

I'm going to turn you into emergency food, just wait. He added

Without wasting much time, he browsed through his inventory, and holy crap there's a bunch of items that he didn't know which item was suitable to use.

Seeing that Tornado struggling to survive made her heartache for not doing anything. She's an AI that was supposed to help him yet it was the other way around.

Out of the blue, something came into her mind. She immediately shouted.

"Administrator's System Command: Slowing Time!"

An invisible dome appeared and covering the eight hundred meters mist, everyone inside the barrier will slow down by 90% except those who get the permission to move freely from the user. Oblivious to the surroundings, he kept searching for a suitable item and finally found one.

"Tornado. I can't hold it!" She shouted in pain. She only existed in this world for 3 minutes and not long after, she activated a high-tier skill command. It took an extreme toll on her small body.

Her little arms are spread wide. Confused by her words, Tornado sensed that the zombies were slowing down. Shortly after, he grasped the situation.

"Thank you!" His eyes were glowing and respect towards her increased by 10 points.

He threw the item to the ground, it looked like the combination of a dart and a ball. It's embedded in the ground and started to glow.

Soon after, Tornado used another item and tossed it into the air. Almost immediately, the item transformed into a vehicle. From a coin, it twisted around in the air and formed into a flying car, after that, it slowly descended to the ground.

Zombies start to appear in his vision and some nearing him from his enemy detection skill, he hurriedly moved forward to the flying car.

"Get in!" He ordered.

Afterward, the item which looks like a dart and a ball that he just threw started to get wild, the glow turned into sparks and he stepped on the gas upon sensing the danger about to come.

Vroom~

The flying car soared into the heavens from the red, thick mist that reeks of gasoline. "Now!"

She stopped her skill and the zombies' movements come back to normal. Sensing that her prey escaped, Erena quickly realized that her prey uses high-tier skills to escape from her.

Roaaar!

She roared angrily, and next, her body starts to shine from the inside, her body starts to show a sign of cracking, like a chicken eggshell that was about to broke from the inside, the light inside it escaped and her eyes and mouth are brightly shone.

Her body then exploded to bits and it doesn't end there, instead, it caused a chemical reaction. After Erena exploded, the red mist was engulfed by fire within short seconds.

The eight hundred meters full of mist was no more but a hot element called fire and as the result. A huge explosion occurred, similar to 30 tons of TNT.

Looking back, Tornado felt chills in his body. His mouth twitching nonstop and he increased the speed of the flying car, their situation is far from safe. While at it.

"How can an explosion that big happened?"

The mist was thick and it's not like it was made out of gunpowder, the only logic was that it was a unique skill. His guess was a bit far but he got it right.

Hearing her master's question, she immediately search the answer in the game's database and server.

"That was a unique skill called "Red Mist of Despair."

In the next moment, Asitana felt that her skin became sweaty despite she was inside a car. Furthermore, the temperature inside it had considerably increased, curious.

She turned her head around and her expression was that of shocked and terrified.

"Tornado, faster! faster!" As she shouted, she grab Tornado's shoulder from the back then pull it to and fro.

"I get it, I get it. Could you stop then? You making me dizzy!" He replied with a hint of annoyance in his tone. Asitana quickly stopped what she was doing.

The fires start to chase them from behind and he quickly changed the gears. Speed was increased but it wasn't enough so he flicked a button next to the gear, and the speed meter rapidly increased.
