When everyone had found a place to sit on the truck. Opposing Chad is Brent who is looking at him scornfully.
"Look at our cripple Chad."
Chad responded with a bored tone. "What do you want?" He only wanted to rest after an awful day at the museum, but Brent wouldn't let him.
"Oh, I just want to help our fellow Chad recover faster."
Brent has a talent, unlike other people who can dance or play piano, his talent is that he can motivate anyone by provoking them to the point that they would stand up and punch him in the face. Chad holds his fist firmly and grimaces toward Brent.
"Besides, your little girlfriend is here too. Why don't you try to please him with your whore hands..."
At this point, Chad just wants to kick his ass, he wouldn't lay a hand on Brent if he simply just offended him only, but he insulted Selena when she had done nothing wrong. Chad slaps the truck's floor, crawls toward Brent, and raises his fist in the air. "You motherfuck-"
"Two of you stop it!! Isn't this day worse enough already? People have been killed, and injured and the police don't even come! It's lucky that we are still safe and alive and now you two want to fight because you don't like each other? What's wrong with you?!"
Selena yells in the face of Chad and Brent, lecturing the two "kids" about their shallow and stupid behavior. As a result, Chad carefully lowers his fist and returns to his seat, while Brent smirks at him.
"Coward."
Even though Chad was furious, he decided to ignore Brent for the sake of Selena. As the truck started driving, he began to forget about Brent and start reminiscing about the thing he saw earlier.
"Those eyes, he's not Mister Neil..."
The dead bodies on the floor, the sound of people screaming and fleeing in terror, the rusty uncanny smell of blood, and Neil's deadly eyes are all things he sees for the first time in his life. Those images have been haunting him for a while, and he won't be able to look at Neil the same way he did before.
"Uh... hey Chad?"
"Huh?"
Responding to Roy's call, he looks up into the sky in the direction Roy is pointing, he sees a silver ball with propellers on the top slowly approaching them with a suspicious aura. Everyone is looking at it curiously, they know that it's a drone, but not sure what kind of drone is.
"Mister Neil, what is that?"
"Yes?"
The drone with the rounded shape opens the containers on the left and right and pulls out a machine gun as soon as Neil turns his head back.
"Oh, shit!! Everyone take cover!!"
The drone began firing hundreds of bullets per minute at their truck, Neil took advantage of a few milliseconds before the drone fired to hit the brakes as hard as he could. The drone misses the targets due to the sudden change in motion, but one bullet does manage to pass through the glass between the driver's cabin and the pickup box.
"OH MY GOD!!" Mike screams in terror as a bullet passes in front of his eyes and hits the radio box.
When they hear gunshots, the students instantly bow down to avoid being hit by bullets, cowering close to the side panels with their hands over their heads. Their backs, however, are completely exposed. If Neil slowed down just a bit, the drone could easily kill every one of them in an instant. Knowing this, Neil speeds up to the limit, driving as fast as a roller coaster. The drone accelerates as well, trying to catch up to the truck.
Neil isn't going to let the Drone get close to them; he's continually steering left and right, drifting like a racer at speeds that would make even a normal person nauseous.
"Oh my god! Oh my GOD!! Slow down Neil, Slow down!!!"
Mike screams "Oh my god!" every time Neil takes a curve and his face hits the car's side window. He only wanted to have a day off, and now he's become one of driver Neil's unfortunate victims.

"Shut up and fasten the seat belt!!"
Listening to Neil's command, he fastened his seat belt, but because of his enormous figure and the force of each curve, the seat belt tightened, even more, making it difficult for him to breathe. "Oh... Mike...god!"
The drone following the truck isn't just trying to catch up with it; but is getting closer and closer, as if it's being powered by a diesel engine instead of an electric engine like normal drones.
"This thing is fast." Neil's remark on the killer drone's astounding and terrifying speed.
The drone attempted to shoot them numerous times, but each time it did, Neil took another drift to avoid the bullets; he did a great job keeping everyone safe, but the drone caught up to him no matter how hard he tried to escape. Meanwhile, Chad was observing the drone from the back of the truck, until he saw a tiny detail on the drone that gave him an idea.
"Mister Neil!! Give me the gun!"
"What?" With too much noise, he's unable to hear it clearly, Chad shouts: "I said give me the gun!" in response.
"What are you going to do?!"
"I have an idea!"
Neil was skeptical of Chad's plan, but in this circumstance, he couldn't do anything than continue driving because he was stuck in the driver's cabin, and Chad's face seemed to be full of certainty, so Neil decided to give it a shot, he handed over the AK to Chad and concentrating on driving.
When Chad is given the AK through the glass door between the cabin and the back of the truck, Neil abruptly takes another turn and makes Chad drop the AK on the floor due to inertia. Seeing the rifle on the floor, Brent looked at it eagerly, but he chose not to touch it. Chad picks up the rifle again, he didn't know that it was so heavy that he struggles to keep balance, he leans on his knee for support and points the rifle at the drone, as the others stare at him.
"What are you doing?!" Roy asked.
"THIS!"
He pulls the trigger and fires. The center of the rifle instantly glows blue, the bullet exits the barrel at a high speed like every time, and despite the truck's shaking, Chad manages to hit his target. The bullet pierced a cylindrical glass container on the back of the drone that was glowing blue light, causing it to leak.
In the blink of an eye, the drone begins to shake violently due to the pressure caused by the weird blue neon gas inside the glass container. The blue gas leaks outside, and the drone's motion at high velocity with the tremendous heat from the engine generated friction, igniting the gas and making it burn from the outside in.
The ignition process took less than a second, the reaction inside the glass container made the gas molecules decay and release an enormous amount of energy, and heat combined with the oxygen expansion, generated an explosion that completely destroyed the drone. The burning cloud grew as big as a balloon, and the shockwave from the blast gave their truck a little push.
The blast also helped "refresh" their mind as the massive and blindly bright light and shrilling sound passing by blew away all of their thoughts and worries, the side effects are tinnitus and temporal blindness. Hearing the shockwave and the sound of the shattering glass behind him, Neil looked around to check if any of them were safe. Luckily, no one was hurt, although they were still suffering from tinnitus, none of them were injured, he smiled and then continued to drive, but at a relaxed and slower pace.
Chad, the hero who had saved the entire gang from the wicked drone, instead of feeling proud of himself was stunned and shocked. "This is strange! This thing is not a normal gun or any type of gun out there." While glancing at the AK weapon, he said it with a perplexed and curious tone.
"Are you out of your goddamn mind?!! Are you trying to kill us?!!"
Sally, one of Selena's friends, yelled at Chad because her tinnitus was still affecting her hearing. With her hair flowing in the wind, she scolded him for not thinking twice about blowing the drone at such a close range.
"If you wanted to die, don't bring us with you!" She said furiously.
"I'm...sorry..."
"Sally, don't say that! At least he saved us!"
"Selena..."
"Yeah, by risking our lives! Fuck it! I just want to get out of this as soon as possible!" Sally's anger was near her limit, but instead of continuing her rage, she retreated to a corner and held a frustrated expression.
Everyone else is speechless; they want the same thing as Sally does, but it appears that they will not be able to escape without a scratch in this circumstance. They all remained silent after that. Neil continues to drive through the New York streets while sightseeing, Mike, has blacked out due to panic, constant screaming, and the intense pressure the seat belt put on his belly.
Sally, Selena, Jenny, Brent, Ben, and Saiko all sit with their backs to the side panels, holding their heads while Roy looks after the curious Chad, who is still perplexed by the AK's mystery. Everyone has something to focus on that will temporarily distract them from their dread and anxiety. They do, after all, deserve a break.
"Hey, guys?" All of a sudden, Ben called for everyone's attention.
"I think we have company."
Coming out from all the intersections that their truck has passed by are the friends of the drone that they have destroyed before. A swarm of flying machines trying to catch them at all costs. They're all the same in terms of design and functionality, they are here to kill and avenge their fallen comrade a few minutes ago.
Simultaneously, the drones drew their miniguns at began aiming at them, there were so many of them that by the time you finished counting, you were dead.
"Oh My God Mister Neil GO FASTER!!!" Roy screams.
Neil already knew what was going on when he saw the drones through the mirror, without any word or hesitation he immediately sped up again to the maximum. The death of one bee seemed to have outraged the entire hive. The manhunting system as a whole has been activated. Let the hunt begin.
