Chapter 855 - 840: Need for Speed (Part 2)
Wen Quanxin replied, then buried his head, fingers flying over the keyboard. But after typing a few words, he stopped.
Old Lin saw this and quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Why did you stop? Is there a result?"
Wen Quanxin shook his head, "No, Old Xu, Old Lin, they just asked the same question."
"What, how could it be like this? Could there be others around here?" Ignoring Hu Xiaodong in car four, Old Lin instinctively thought the sounds must be coming from somewhere else.
Just then, Wen Quanxin, staring intently at the screen, suddenly lifted his head and then added in a deep voice, "News came from Brother Hu in car four, telling us not to panic, saying that Li Guo is driving to attract the wolf pack’s attention!"
"What!!" Seeing the words displayed on the screen, Xu Renjie stood up from the rear compartment and quickly moved to the driver’s cabin.
What a joke! Li Guo driving himself as a decoy! What is Hu Xiaodong thinking! This is madness!
Originally, Xu Renjie thought Li Zhong and Li Guo would have some good idea to attract the mutated wolf pack, but in the end, they still used their own way.
This made Old Xu rather annoyed; he now finally understood why when they asked "car four" about their method earlier, they avoided answering.
Old Xu drew the curtain trying to look outside, but Tang Xiaoquan stopped Old Xu from the back.
"Old Xu, Brother Hu’s car hasn’t moved; it’s still in the same place." Handing over the tablet in his hand, Tang Xiaoquan indicated for Old Xu to look at the screen.
Xu Renjie retracted his body, took a glance, and sure enough, car four remained steadily in its original place.
"What’s going on! Their car hasn’t moved? Why did they say Li Guo is driving to attract the wolf pack? And what’s with the music?"
Facing Old Xu’s barrage of questions, Tang Xiaoquan shrugged with a bitter smile.
Right now, like Old Xu, he also had countless questions in his mind, wanting to ask the "Zhong" and "Guo" brothers for clarity.
"Hey, Li Zhong, is your method going to work?" The dance music is already playing, and if Li Guo messes it up, then as the commander of car four, Hu Xiaodong has an undeniable responsibility.
"I trust my brother’s skills!" Li Zhong replied firmly without hesitation, meeting Hu Xiaodong’s eyes with a positive answer.
The saying goes, once you pull back the bow, there’s no turning back. Now that the matter is at this stage, Hu Xiaodong has no way to stop the "Zhong", and "Guo" brothers’ "quirky" rescue method, he can only believe in the skills and ability of these two brothers.
Hopefully, everything proceeds according to plan!!
Everyone’s prayers, doubts, and worries were naturally unknown to Li Guo.
His entire focus was now fully absorbed in the rapid and thrilling situation before him.
If at the start, the wolf pack was somewhat baffled by the suddenly appearing "little thing", then with the "square dance music" playing, the zombies mutated wolf pack, highly sensitive to sound, immediately began chasing the modified race car.
The wolves’ speed was extremely fast, but the performance of the modified race car was not to be underestimated either.
As mentioned earlier, apart from its size, the modified race car did not differ much from a standard Formula 1 car.
To ensure the wolf pack did not lose their target, Li Guo glanced at the keyboard, found the subtitle key "L", and then pressed it without any hesitation.
Immediately, the car’s rooftop lights shone brilliantly, colorful lights dazzling exceptionally in the silent midnight.
Hmph, now with sound and light, it should be enough to attract these beasts!
Li Guo firmly held the steering wheel, speeding through a stretch of flat road, then slightly slowed down.
Because, through the car’s onboard camera returning real-time road conditions, Li Guo noticed abandoned vehicles ahead.
Hmph! There’s some fun to be had now!
Li Guo’s lips curled into a cold smile! He now didn’t consider the situation as a matter of life and death, but unknowingly took it as a game.
Li Guo was a competitive and combative person; though appearing weak outwardly, in professional fields and games, he had a wave-like personality.
Either don’t do it, or do it the best!
Seeing the abandoned vehicles getting closer, Li Guo quickly turned the steering wheel left and tapped the accelerator lightly, intentionally slowing down.
Soon, the compact race car smoothly drove under the abandoned vehicle’s body, and the mutated wolves, attracted by the sudden slow speed, howled and pounced forward, crashing into the rear windshield, the thick tempered glass shattered as expected, and the wolves continued to advance until they pierced through the entire car, finally falling out of the front windshield onto the ground.
The suddenly fallen mutated wolves carried countless shattered glass pieces. These might not be much for regular cars, but they posed a significant challenge to the modified race car driven by Li Guo.
Eyes fixed on the computer screen, Li Guo’s hands moved left and right, the car seemed like an extension of his body, skillfully maneuvering to dodge and weave, ultimately bypassing the fallen mutated wolves thrillingly but safely.
If Wang Zhongyu were present to witness Li Guo’s performance, he would surely give a thumbs up.
Oh yeah! This is absolutely amazing!
The noise from the car’s rear surprised Hu Xiaodong greatly; he instinctively glanced at Li Zhong beside him, finding the latter surprisingly calm.
Li Zhong was indeed calm now, because he understood his brother’s disposition very well; his earlier exclamation showed his total spiritual engagement and that the progress should be going very smoothly.
"Don’t worry, Brother Hu! There won’t be any problems!"
Hu Xiaodong had Li Zhong’s reassurance, but the other three cars weren’t so calm.
Xu Renjie was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan; he had never felt so helpless before.
He didn’t know what was happening outside, nor did he have any way to understand the situation of the other cars; even what Li Zhong and Li Guo were up to was a complete mystery to him.
Tang Xiaoquan was equally anxious; after all, Li Guo’s move was too bold. If the operation failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Old Xu, give me the tablet!"
Old Xu, upset and frenzied, handed over the tablet to Tang Xiaoquan without thinking.
Tang Xiaoquan received it and immediately operated the 360-degree rotating camera on top of the car.
With the camera’s rotation, everything around the car was comprehensively captured.
On the screen, green light flickered, and Tang Xiaoquan operated it with extreme caution, afraid of causing any disturbance to provoke the beasts outside.
But after some examination, his tense expression relaxed.
Seeing this, Xu Renjie asked hopefully, "How is it? Xiao Tang, how’s the situation outside?"
With a smile on his face, Tang Xiaoquan didn’t answer but handed over the tablet, saying meaningfully, "See for yourself!"
Old Xu suspiciously took the tablet, sliding the touch buttons randomly, then his expression changed dramatically, "This... this..."
Their eyes inadvertently met, and Tang Xiaoquan smiled and nodded.
The wolf pack had disappeared, at least according to the camera feedback.
To soothe others in the convoy, Old Xu instructed Tang Xiaoquan to inform the whole team of this matter promptly. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
