Chapter 3214: Racing Violently
Had Li Yao not braked and made a sharp turn in time, the heavy off-road vehicle would certainly have crashed into the roof of Li Yao’s vehicle. Chances were that the two vehicles would have crashed into burning scrap metal.
But right now, the iron beast that came out of nowhere crashed into the ground right in front of Li Yao and exploded into an exploding fireball.
Li Yao’s eyes seemed to have been ignited by the fireball. He operated his hands and feet as if they were cramping. The engine, the brakes, and the tires screamed one after another. The off-road vehicle started spinning at a high speed like a gyro. It actually knocked away the fireball in front of it and resumed its normal direction and speed.
“Blargh!”
Zhang Daniu’s face turned pale again, as if he was about to vomit.
However, the fire in Li Yao’s eyes did not die down, because in the rear-view mirror, dozens of speeding cars appeared on the highway one after another, which looked like dozens of iron beasts!
Some of the vehicles were coming at them from the back, while some were diving down like the off-road vehicles just now.
The road was slippery in the rain, and the lights were dim. The bottom of the highway could not be seen, and the road conditions were extremely bad. Most of the drivers did not have Li Yao’s driving skills. Often, when they were driving, their tires would slip, and they would lose control of their direction. They would fall into the darkness below the highway, and soon, they would turn into a rising fireball. However, there were still a dozen or so cars that were firmly biting Li Yao. The distance was getting shorter and shorter. Some of them were even trying to crash into Li Yao’s off-road vehicle from the rear and flank.
BAM! BAM!
In the middle of a storm, such a collision was tantamount to suicide. It was a crazy strategy of mutual destruction.
Although Li Yao had awakened his unparalleled driving skills, he was still soaked in cold sweat when he was surrounded by the crazy drivers.
At this moment, a two-seater sports car drove side by side with him. Li Yao looked through the window and saw that the driver was a well-dressed middle-aged man whose hair was not messy at all. He was also wearing gold-rimmed glasses. No matter how one looked at him, he did not look like a fearless death squad member.
However, when he saw the absent-minded look in the other party’s eyes and the Bluetooth earpiece hanging by his ear, Li Yao immediately understood.
It turned out that the pursuers were still puppets that had been manipulated and lost their rationality. That was why they were so crazy and fearless.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The tires of the two sports cars screamed. Despite the fact that they were heavier and smaller than Li Yao, they still crashed into Li Yao’s off-road vehicle. Li Yao had nowhere to run to. The two cars scratched each other hard, raising hideous sparks. The two sports cars were no match for the multipurpose off-road vehicle after all. They were knocked away by Li Yao and fell to the bottom of the guardrail, almost twenty meters away from each other.
But as a result, Li Yao’s speed was inevitably slowed down. The remaining dozen or so vehicles were about to catch up to him.
“Something doesn’t seem right!”
Zhang Daniu shouted, “There’s no end to this section of the highway!”
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He squinted and observed his surroundings carefully.
Although they were talking about their surroundings, in fact, the lights on the viaduct had long been destroyed by the storm and lightning. Other than the high beams that could illuminate dozens of meters ahead through the rain, they could see nothing else.
He was surrounded by darkness in all directions. The viaduct extended vertically in the darkness to the unknown one moment and zigzagged the next. It seemed to have been tied up by countless forks and on-ramp. It was a maze in an infinite loop.
At this moment, a road sign flashed above their heads. A bolt of lightning struck down, allowing them to clearly see the contents of the road sign.
This was the intersection of ‘People’s Road’ and ‘Tide Tide Road’.
The problem was, Renmin Road and Sea Tide Road were not far away from the central business district. At most, it would take 3-5 minutes for them to arrive, but they had driven for at least 20-30 minutes in the torrential rain—the several dozen kilometers should have already been covered.
How did he end up near the central business district?
Li Yao’s lips twitched, and Zhang Daniu swallowed his saliva. The two of them thought of the same thing at the same time.
“Can you drive?”
Li Yao suddenly asked.
“Huh?”
Zhang Daniu was shocked. He stammered, “I—I do have a driver’s license, but I haven’t touched a car in years. I—I don’t have a car myself. I’m from the ‘original clan’...”
“You drive!”
Li Yao did not give any chance to refuse. “If this road is truly an endless loop, after the intersection of the People’s Road and the Sea Tide Road, there should be a straight road several kilometers ahead. You can slow down a bit. It’s very simple!”
“What? I—I don’t know how. I can’t!”
Zhang Daniu was at a loss. “It’s been a long time since I last touched a real steering wheel. I’m not an experienced driver in this regard!”
But Li Yao had already unbuckled his seat belt and dragged Zhang Daniu over.
The multipurpose off-road vehicle immediately started zigzagging on the high platform. Several times, it brushed against the guardrail, causing sparks to fly.
“Ah!”
Zhang Daniu screamed.
“Steady. Relax. Slow down!”
Li Yao gritted his teeth and roared at Zhang Daniu.
“I’m stabilizing myself!”
Zhang Daniu was almost in tears. “This thing is too exciting!”
“Very good. You drove very well. You don’t look like a typical ‘origin’. That’s right. That’s right.”
Li Yao had been making a last-ditch effort, too. He didn’t expect that Zhang Daniu would get into his role within half a minute after he panicked in the beginning. Although he couldn’t be said to be driving very fast, in this godforsaken weather and godforsaken place, being able to maintain the normal speed and stability on the first try was already very good.
But as a result, the car of the pursuers was only twenty to thirty meters away from them. They could simply step on the gas.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao kicked open the rear window and crawled out like a loach with wings.
His fingers and toes turned into hooks that were as hard as steel and clutched the roof of the tank. No matter how the wind, rain, and thunder raged, they could not get rid of him.
“Slow down. Slower!”
Li Yao rushed into the car and shouted. The distance between the two was getting shorter and shorter.
When the pursuer tried to crash into Li Yao’s off-road vehicle again, Li Yao swung his arm in an arc and launched the iron nail!
“Chi!”
The iron nail hit the front wheel of the car. At such a high speed, although it was not like the movie where one would spin dozens of times in the air and fall to the ground like a giant fireball, it was still enough to make the car lose control and stagger to the side of the road. The front end and the engine crashed into a mess and could not be started again.
Seeing that his plan was working out, Li Yao immediately took action and threw out the iron nails on his waist, aiming at the tires of his opponent.
With his eyesight and hand strength, even if he was affected by the torrential rain and thunder, it would still be a piece of cake for him to shoot down the tires of the pursuers. It was just that he didn’t want to cause any fatal injuries to the puppets inside the car. Therefore, he repeatedly calculated, carefully aimed, and even had Zhang Daniu slow down the speed of the car before slowing down again. Sure enough, the dozen or so cars either crashed into the railings or lost control of the brakes. There was no more tragedy of falling off the high platform and exploding in the air.
Very soon, the vehicles of the pursuers all stopped.
Li Yao wiped off the hot rainwater on his face and thought to himself that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and think of a way to get rid of the unpredictable ghost trap.
“Li Yao! Li Yao!”
But right then, Zhang Daniu screamed in the car.
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. When he looked back, he vaguely saw two hazy lights shining at them from the darkness ahead.
Soon, the lights outlined an even darker outline in the darkness. It was a twenty-four-wheel container truck!
God knows where the other party had gotten such a behemoth from. Usually, this kind of container truck was not allowed to enter the city. But right now, it was roaring, galloping, and baring its fangs and brandishing its claws on the highway like a furious steel beast, rushing straight towards Li Yao’s off-road vehicle.
No, it was not as simple as a container truck.
Just as Li Yao was leaning on the roof of the off-road vehicle, a man was standing on the head of the container truck. He was a middle-aged man who was wearing a neat black suit and a pair of black sunglasses despite the storm and lightning.
He seemed to have noticed that Li Yao was observing him, too. He bowed slightly, as if he were greeting Li Yao.
“Hunters!”
Zhang Daniu screamed in the driver’s seat, “He is the ‘Hunter’!”
Li Yao’s heart suddenly sank.
The wind and rain were so heavy that he had to lean on the top of the tank and stabilize himself with one hand and two feet. But the ‘hunter’ was standing on the top of the tank casually and easily. No matter how much he struggled, he did not move at all.
His body control ability alone was already better than Li Yao’s at this moment. No wonder he dared to set up traps unhurriedly when he was faced with the ten ‘Deep Perception’ and the two ‘Ultimate Perception’ of the ‘Ark Foundation’.
Then, he looked at the driver of the truck, who was fat and unshaven and did not look like an Awakener. As it turned out, he had headphones on his ears, too. Then, it was quite obvious what was going on. One of the abilities of the ‘hunters’ was to hack into other people’s brains through electric waves and turn them into his puppets. At the same time, part of the memories of the previous life deep inside other people’s brains would be activated, thereby allowing them to acquire terrifying killing skills!
But was it the only ability of a hunter?
While Li Yao was pondering, the two vehicles were getting closer and closer.
Li Yao could clearly see the increasingly mysterious smile on the hunter’s face. He also saw the hunter snap his fingers. The driver in the driver’s seat immediately pulled the steering wheel as if he had received a mysterious command and made a ninety-degree turn.
Such a heavy storm, such a slippery road, and such a heavy container truck were simply unable to make a 90-degree turn in such a hurry. Sure enough, the large truck immediately flipped over, and under the force of inertia, the entire coach came over and almost blocked the entire lane.
The coach rubbed against the ground, producing earsplitting noises and dazzling sparks. It swept toward Li Yao’s SUV like an iron mill that could crush everything.
The hunter, on the other hand, jumped up the moment the truck flipped over as if it were weightless. It was not until this moment that he floated down and stood on the overturned truck, coldly staring at Li Yao, who was right in front of him!
