Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 17 Heading to the Scrap Metal District

Behind Ace, the silent [Rescue ACE Team Fire Hydrant] was writhing incessantly, while the light screen above its head kept projecting ???

Ace was quite responsible; before arriving, he had already directed the ACE fire trucks and firefighters to surround the fire in a corner. Because of the strange explosion earlier, the firefighters dared not approach the fire easily, and aerial fire extinguishers circled overhead to prevent any more cars from being blown out.

"No further instructions needed. [Rescue ACE Team, Fire Hydrant], continue observation," Ace calmly commanded.

"That might be because it contains nitrous oxide, which is why it emitted a blue flame and then exploded violently."

"what?"

"It's what's called nitrous oxide acceleration, often used in racing car modifications," Di Xing explained.

Ace angrily rushed to Qu Dazui's side, grabbed him, and demanded, "Did you modify those cars?"

"No, no, those are all second-hand cars, they might have been modified before," Qu Dazui argued, but his shifty eyes betrayed him.

"Damn it, why didn't you tell us beforehand? Do you know you almost killed my sister?" Ace punched Qu Dazui in the face, knocking out two of his teeth. Then he turned to look at [Rescue ACE Team Fire Hydrant].

"【Rescue ACE Team Fire Hydrant】, Command C - Control" Now that they know what's inside the fire, there's no need to be so cautious. As the fire chief, he naturally knows the chemical properties of nitrous oxide. It's normally non-flammable, but at high temperatures it has a strong oxidizing effect, so they should deal with it as quickly as possible.

"Puff puff puff!" [Rescue ACE Team Fire Hydrant] responded, projecting another light screen with the word "contain" in large letters. Instantly, four walls of light surrounded the shrinking fire. The three ACE monsters unleashed their full power, and the light walls were instantly filled with water, like a fish tank. The flames were extinguished in a moment of suffocation, with only a few wisps of black smoke rising.

Seeing that the flames were completely extinguished, Qu Dazui, who was lying on the ground, instantly became smug again. He rushed up to Ace and roared, "You dare hit me? Do you know whose business this is? This is the Lloyd family's property on the second floor. If you hit me, the Lloyd family will not let you get away with it, uh!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Di Xing punched him hard in the left cheek, sending him flying. "Ah, so this is what hitting someone feels like?" he thought. Although his fist hurt a little, it still felt good.

Qu Dazui, whose two teeth had been knocked out again, raised his head and looked at Di Xing in disbelief. "You, you, you hit me?"

"I'm going to hit you. I don't know what kind of family this Lloyd family you mentioned is, but they wouldn't openly protect someone who sells laughing gas, would they?"

"Laughing gas? What's laughing gas?" Qu Dazui panicked instantly. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a drug. If adding nitrogen to a car for acceleration is just illegal modification, then selling laughing gas is a serious crime.

"I...I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! I only added nitrous oxide to the vehicle to speed it up!" In a panic, Qu Dazui also admitted to illegally modifying the vehicle.

"Ha! Boss Ace put out the fire right away. If we search the wreckage of these vehicles now, we should still be able to find nitrous oxide. When we hand these things over, do you think the police will believe you or us?"

Ace was a famous firefighting hero, and the police would definitely be more inclined to believe him. Thinking of this, Qu Dazui hurriedly knelt down before Ace.

"Captain Ace, please, please let me go! I really only illegally modified the car a little, I wouldn't dare sell nitrous oxide!"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and tremblingly handed over a card. "This, this is a card I obtained by chance, Captain Ace, please accept it if you don't mind." Di Xing glanced at it from the side and thought, "Holy crap, [Anima, the Demon of Sacrifice]?" A precious one-star link? Captain Ace originally didn't want to pay attention to this big mouth, but seeing Di Xing's eager expression, he accepted the card and gave it to Di Xing, saying, "Consider it a thank you gift for saving my sister."

"Oh? I can't accept this, it's such a valuable card!" Di Xing said he didn't want it, but his hand obediently took the card.

"Captain, Captain, this is Lao San," Ace's walkie-talkie crackled to life again. "The fire in the scrapyard is basically over. Luckily it was daytime, so most people were home. There weren't many fire spots, and most were put out by their families."

"Yes, the residents of the scrap metal zone are all struggling to survive, so their crisis management awareness is quite high."

"Yeah, boss, but there's this unlucky guy who seems to have had too much luck. He lives on the 5th floor and was so scared by the black smoke coming from downstairs that he actually jumped straight from the 5th floor to the power tower across the street. Actually, the fire downstairs was quickly put out by the residents. I really don't know whether to call him brave or cowardly."

"..."

"He's already climbed to the top of the power tower, and none of us dare to go up there rashly. So we'll have to trouble you, boss, to come and use an aerial crane to bring him down."

"Understood, we'll be there now."

Upon hearing the keyword "scrap metal zone," Di Xing hurriedly asked, "Are you going to the scrap metal zone?"

That's right.

"Could you take me with you? I have things to do there too."

"Of course, but it's not that comfortable sitting in our fire truck," Ace scratched his head. "It's all sweat and smoke."

"It's okay, I'm just happy to have a ride." Besides, I've wanted to ride in a fire truck for a long time, Di Xing thought to himself. What boy wouldn't want to try riding in a fire truck?

A group of people boarded a fire truck and began heading towards the scrap metal area.

In the car

Ai Xiao took off her fire helmet, revealing her beautiful, long, plain hair. Her amber eyes curiously examined Di Xing. "Are you a graphics card engineer?"

"Yes, but I can only materialize one card at a time, unlike Captain Ace who can materialize so many monsters at once."

"Hmph, that's right, my brother is the strongest."

Ace gently tapped her head from behind. "Don't talk nonsense. Actually, all my machines were built according to the records on the cards. We embedded spirit stones inside as an energy source, so when using them, I only need to put the card into the machine and use a small amount of spiritual power to operate them."

"Oh, I didn't know you could do that."

"Your clothes are so strange, they don't look like they're from the fourth floor," Ai Xiao said, moving closer to Di Xing and looking at the pattern on Di Xing's short-sleeved shirt. "This little girl is so cute, is she your daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Di Xing, who had just taken a sip of the bottled water Ace handed him, coughed it up immediately.
