Darek runs up and knocks Mariusz down, while grabbing Enrique by the shoulder.

Indian blood turns snowflakes red.

The robot gets up quickly, but otherwise its speed is not so fast anymore.

Darek throws a whirlwind towards the robot, enveloping it with a shield and runs to his friends.

Adrian still hasn't come to his senses.

And again, you need to run away... because Dariusz Kaminski does not know what to do…

He tries to appeal to the abilities, but does not hear the answer. Nothing at all.

Kicking at the door, Dariusz berates himself for such a stupid plan.

— Dariusz...—Adrian, who almost fell off his shoulder and got to know the wall a couple of times, finally came to his senses.

Hitting his forehead with the walls of different houses, on the contrary, seemed to wake him up.

— Yes, everything is not according to plan! Can you run on your own if you're awake after all? You're incredibly heavy!— Dariush turns towards the road.— And we will climb into the sewer! —

— Into the sewer?!—Adrian repeated his words with real horror in his eyes.— All right. Let's enjoy the aromas ...—

***

It was still possible to reset the pursuit of the robot, but it was the sewerage that helped this.

— It's strange that it doesn't smell like this...—Adrian took Enrique by the shoulder.— Hey, Ricky, aren't you going to pass out? —

— I feel fine! Soon everything will be overgrown....—Enrique touched his wound with his fingers.— Run faster, and I will seal the sewer after a certain distance!—

— Why is this?—Darek froze for a second.

— If we have to go back, we will have a good cover so as not to get caught, if this pile of iron is not afraid of rust and climbs into the sewer itself!—Enrique touched the roots sticking out of the wall.

The roots began to spread, to grow. At first they looked like a lattice, then they all thickened and thickened with each layer.

— Let's run on!—Enrique said angrily.— I can't do this when they look at me with such a stupid look! —

— Sorry...— Darek feels a heaviness inside when running. It's getting painful to breathe.— Guys, if any of you see a red sign before me, let me know. I'm looking for one of the Hellhounds' hiding places.—

— Does the mafia make caches in the sewers?—Adrian almost stumbled.— Well, yes, there are such great flavors here!—

—Hellhounds are mercenaries, not the mafia. Their difference from ordinary killers is that they choose only what they like. In some ways, I and they are similar in this...— Darek noticed a red stroke on the wall.— Here we are! —

— I'm afraid to imagine what they might be hiding here...—Enrique sighed.

Darek rummaged through the pieces of metal that lay on the floor.

— There is one small problem...— Dariusz examines a piece of metal welded to the wall.— There's nothing to pry the door. It is impossible to shoot through it, since it is a mixture of titanium and several other metals.—

— Maybe we should freeze it then?—Adrian heard something explode above them and shuddered.

— And how? Oh, that's right! I got hit on the head too hard, probably...—Dariusz put his hands to the metal.— I hope I can do it...—

A frosty haze began to disperse from the hands, similar to morning fog. This haze of steam remained on the metal.

Gradually, cracks began to cut through the steam.

— Can't you freeze harder?—Enrique asked suddenly.— I'm not complaining, but the robot is coming! The ice is no longer holding him back!—

— I know!—Darek flinched when he heard a loud explosion.— He's really close...—

It seems that a building collapsed in the distance…

Dariusz first tries to focus on the memories of his family. When there are so many bad things in life, it's impossible to focus on the good.

— Don't try to calm down! You have to soak your ice with all the anger that is in you!—Enrique said, taking him by the shoulders.— Certainly your strength will not work for joy! —

The Indian pulled his hand away in horror, his fingers were covered with frost. After a moment, his fear turned to joy.

But Adrian, however, was very scared. He had time to see what Dariush's eyes had become.

Molten moonlight silver sparkled and splashed at the bottom of the Ghost's pupils and reflected on the entire iris.

The metal explodes, Dariusz instinctively steps back, Enrique manages to grab him by the shoulders.

Contrary to expectations, the frozen metal did not scatter in different directions. The fragments fell together on the floor, like glass after an explosion.
