Chapter 636: 627, Speed up!_1

Huangfu Zhuri pondered carefully, Mount Laojun was currently in a closed state, and he didn’t know how the others got up there; but he feared they also wouldn’t know that a fleet of cars had followed them up the mountain. In such a situation, what kind of scene would it be when both parties met?

If it really was Knight, then perhaps tomorrow’s biggest news would be the unfortunate death of Knight?

Thinking this, Huangfu Zhuri panicked. He rolled down the car window and shouted to the sports cars behind him, "Slow down! Slow down! Keep to the right, it’s best to stop and wait right where you are!"

The convoy behind had no idea why Huangfu Zhuri was freaking out. Everyone was speeding so why were they suddenly told to slow down, and even better, to stop and wait right where they were? What was going on, had something happened up ahead?

Seeing that Huangfu Zhuri’s sports car continued moving forward, they didn’t stop but continued driving onward.

Whereas Huangfu Zhuri slammed down on the accelerator, the roar of his car’s engine bellowed like the rage of a wild beast. He was determined to catch up with Lizi and stop her from continuing to drift up the mountain.

This mountain road was too narrow, and when the sports car drifted into a turn, the space left for others to pass by was far too little!

In the past, Huangfu Zhuri was nowhere near Lizi’s league in terms of speeding, as Lizi had told him: "If you can see my taillights, you win."

But now, even if he couldn’t catch up, he had to try. He could not let Lizi continue to act so recklessly. After each bend, Huangfu Zhuri himself was breaking out in a sweat, with several instances being extremely harrowing, relying wholly on sheer willpower to push through.

Lizi heard the engine noise from behind and was curious—who in their circle could now catch up to her speed? Before a bend, she glanced in the rear-view mirror and spotted Huangfu Zhuri, that fat guy. When had this fat guy improved so much!?

Huangfu Zhuri rolled down his window, preparing to try yelling at Lizi to see if she could hear, given that once the sports car’s windows were up, outside sounds became very faint, especially amidst the roar of the engine. It was likely she couldn’t hear his shouts from behind.

However, at this moment, Huangfu Zhuri faintly began to hear sounds other than the car engines and tires gripping the road. It didn’t sound like bicycle tires... more like the rolling sound of skateboard wheels on concrete...

Being able to hear this sound meant the other person was very close, and moreover, they were approaching quickly! This skateboard-like rolling sound was loud against the road surface, and the echoes growing in the mountain bends meant that if it were at a slow speed, this sound would not reach Huangfu Zhuri’s ears.

Huangfu Zhuri, often mingling in extreme sports circles, instantly thought of a term when skateboard rolling sounds, camera noises, and high-speed approaching sounds merged together—longboard downhill!

The other party was doing a longboard downhill! And judging by the sound, probably within the next two bends, they would meet with Lizi up ahead, and that time frame was simply not enough for him to catch up to Lizi.

It was over! Huangfu Zhuri’s face paled at this moment. Regardless of whether the other party was Knight or not, they were probably in danger!

Maintaining a 300-meter distance from Lizi’s car, Huangfu Zhuri drove into the bend and clearly saw that not only were cameras setup on this long straight slope, but also a speed-measuring device!

What was the purpose of setting up a speed-measuring device? Huangfu Zhuri knew all too well.

Lizi had already reached the middle of the long slope, and the sound of the longboard downhill seemed to be approaching the final bend before entering the long straight slope!

There was no room for salvage; Huangfu Zhuri, in desperation, slowed down his sports car. He didn’t know what to do or if anything could be done to save all of this.

...

Ren He was swiftly progressing through the mountains, longboard downhill being known as one of the sports that most thrills the adrenaline. On this steep mountain road, what Ren He currently possessed was nothing more than a longboard.

He crouched on the longboard, hands clasped behind his back, doing everything in his power to reduce the wind resistance he encountered during the high-speed descent.

Even when a car drives over 100 kilometers per hour, sticking your hand out the window feels as though it could be swept away at any moment; one can only imagine what it feels like for a person to expose themselves to such fierce wind resistance at that speed without any protective measures.

Now even a small pebble on the road could trip up the wheels of Ren He’s longboard and potentially cause his immediate death. But Ren He loved this feeling; to a certain extent, speed meant freedom.

The long red scarf trailing from the back of his head fluttered like a red banner billowing in the wind.

In the beginning, Yang Xi, who was following behind, could still see Ren He’s back. However, Ren He was much faster than the car, and Yang Xi, with no experience in racing and driving a behemoth like the Raptor, already felt overwhelmed dealing with the centrifugal force at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour on the mountain road.

And as Ren He’s speed increased, she eventually could only watch as he used his slide gloves to create friction against the ground as a braking fulcrum, sparking a dazzling shower of sparks before disappearing around the curve ahead.

Before they set off, Ren He had warned Yang Xi not to forcibly keep up with the speed of the longboard’s descent, since no driver dared to follow the longboard’s pace on such a mountain road. Different weights meant different centrifugal forces; Ren He could counter the centrifugal force with a leaning angle to create centripetal force, but the car couldn’t.

However, just as he was nearing the speed test slope, Ren He suddenly heard the roar of a turbocharged engine echoing through the mountain ahead, and his brows furrowed. A car was coming up the mountain!

Both were moving fast, and Ren He could almost judge the time of their encounter by the speed at which the sound approached. Perhaps... they would meet at the last bend before reaching the slope!

There was no time to decelerate. In such a situation, the only thing a longboarder could rely on to slow down was slide gloves; if he tried using the built-in brake pads on the board, he’d likely be thrown off.

And the stopping power of the slide gloves wasn’t sufficient to come to a halt before the curve!

Suddenly, time seemed to slow down for Ren He, as if presaging death by replaying one’s life. The air almost solidified around him like water...

We can’t meet on the bend! Accelerate!

Ren He’s body lowered even further, leaning more to the front, his red scarf trailing vibrantly in the air, like a rainbow. The only chance for both parties was to accelerate!

In the instant when Lizi was ten meters away from entering the bend, she suddenly saw a figure with a red scarf skimming the ground at an extremely low angle, shooting out from the bend like lightning. The hands in gloves caused a string of sparks on the ground, moving at least twice her speed!

Lizi was so startled she almost swerved, but when she saw that red scarf, she suddenly composed herself. She felt the firm, calm gaze of the person behind the helmet looking at her...

Ren He didn’t linger; after accelerating and drifting through the bend, he leaned into the mountain’s inner side and fearlessly sped up again, passing by the sports car’s rearview mirror with just a 2-centimeter gap. In Lizi’s field of vision, all that remained was a red scarf trailing behind.

That scarf... it was so breathtakingly beautiful!

Knight! It had to be the Knight! Only the Knight could pull off such a feat!

After drifting through the bend, Lizi immediately stopped the car and turned around!

But by the time she got back on the slope, all she could see was Huangfu Zhuri standing beside his car, dumbfounded, and the red digits on the speedometer: 149KM/H.

A new record!
