My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 936 - 936 921 Torture in Purgatory!_2

936: Chapter 921: Torture in Purgatory!_2 936: Chapter 921: Torture in Purgatory!_2 Many vehicles had stopped one after another, waiting for the off-road vehicle ahead to pass.

And leading the charge at the very front was a Mercedes-Benz G500, whose original price was nearly two million.

After various magical modifications, its price was completely incalculable.

Such a tough and robust off-road vehicle descended slopes, crossed rivers, and climbed hills, all at a leisurely pace.

After watching it sway past, the second Jeep Wrangler didn’t hurry to descend the slope either.

Because across the river, there was an even steeper incline of over forty degrees.

Amid the deafening roar, the Mercedes-Benz G500 charged ferociously up the slope, and only after it had ascended did the Jeep Wrangler slowly enter the river.

It also managed to climb the slope without any trouble, and then the third car followed suit…

One vehicle after another, but there were still accidents.

An off-road vehicle failed to accelerate in time after crossing the river, failing to climb the slope and instead sliding back down.

Fortunately, the driver was experienced, otherwise, the vehicle would have been tumbling down with a thunderous roll.

On the second attempt to climb the slope, the engine let out a roar as if it was screaming in exertion.

Dirt flew everywhere, wheels spun rapidly, and it finally made it up.

Seeing this, Wu Jie immediately told Tang Xiao through the walkie-talkie,

“Wife, set the car to climbing mode; it increases the success rate of climbing!”

“Do you think I need reminding?

I set it up long ago!”

After Tang Xiao responded, she released the electronic parking brake and placed her foot on the brake.

With a light tap on the brake, the car slowly drove into the river, and then she carefully controlled the speed, moving forward gradually.

As she was about to cross the river, she immediately floored the accelerator.

The main electric motor delivered strong torque, propelling the Tianwei SUV sharply up the slope with success.

Wu Jie immediately followed into the river, and without any suspense or difficulty, successfully made it across the river and up the slope.

Then…

The nightmare arrived.

Like a serpentine path winding through the mountains, the road twisted and turned upward.

A relentless ascent, non-stop sharp turns.

An array of ultra-tight consecutive bends was simply overwhelming to deal with.

After who knows how many bends were completed, they reached the mountaintop, and the view suddenly opened up.

The rolling mountains stretched out with magnificent and broad scenery.

But the racing track they were on was not as beautiful as the scenery.

The jagged and uneven gravel road, especially resembling one ravaged by numerous heavy-duty trucks.

Driving on this uneven ‘washboard’ gravel road, the vehicle swayed from side to side, easily making one dizzy enough to become nauseated and vomit.

And since it was called the ‘Devil’s Race Track’, what was a mere ruggedness?

It had to include steep descents, too!

Sometimes there were consecutive steep slopes with large angles, other times small angles with sharp turns.

This was sheer torture for the vehicles and a tremendous test of concentration and endurance for the drivers.

A slight mistake could mean crashing into the mountain or plummeting off the roadway.

After persevering to another mountain, the road conditions became surprisingly good.

It was a relatively smooth gravel road; although there were many bends, the slopes weren’t steep.

Based on past race cases, this area tested one’s highway driving skills.

Even though today was just a test run, the drivers were still full of fighting spirit.

Driving off-road vehicles that resembled mud trucks, they sped along, kicking up clouds of dust.

And since it was a speed trial section, it was naturally the forte of electric cars!

In previous track races, the Tianlong Sports Car had already proven the superior acceleration performance of electric vehicles.

So now, Tang Xiao, behind the wheel of the Tianwei SUV, was also racing furiously.

After overtaking several off-road vehicles in a row, they were on track to overtake the Mercedes G500 as the frontrunner.

But…

Wu Jie knew that Tang Xiao was speeding so recklessly just to beat him.

Yet as newcomers, unfamiliar with such a special track on their first drive, what’s the point in racing?

Moreover, between spouses, why insist on determining a winner and loser?

After much persuasion from Wu Jie, Tang Xiao finally stopped overtaking.

And, as it turned out, Wu Jie’s judgment was correct.

The gravel road that seemed to be in excellent condition quickly disappeared.

Ahead, they entered a canyon segment, and the track became extremely wide.

To be precise, it looked more like a tidal flat.

Large and small cobblestones and rocks were scattered haphazardly throughout the canyon.

This was a test of the driver’s familiarity with the vehicle’s performance and their judgment of the route.

After all, a slight mistake, and a large rock might get wedged against the undercarriage, immobilizing the vehicle.

The leading Mercedes G500 quickly braked and decelerated, slowing down as it entered the tidal flats.

It crawled forward, rocking from side to side over the rocks.

During Tang Xiao’s moment of hesitation, other off-road vehicles caught up, slowing down and entering the tidal flat.

It was a contest of skill, a clash of performance.

Tang Xiao and Wu Jie both chose to follow others, keeping a safe distance.

They followed the tracks of others, shaking and creeping along.

But…

Following others was not a long-term strategy.

In this so-called road of the tidal flats, all vehicles could only move forward with extreme caution.

Sometimes they would even come to a stop, having to reverse and detour.

Due to the rain, some stones were slippery, and others crumbled under pressure, causing the vehicle to sink and slip upon pressing down.

So, in the end, they were all trying to find their own way out.

Some collided with rocks, unable to move forward and had to retreat and find another way.

Others got stuck in pits, with rocks jamming the undercarriage, unable to escape, forcing the driver to quickly get out and perform self-rescue.

The Devil’s Race Track truly lived up to its name.

Not only did it test the drivers’ skills, but also their emergency self-rescue abilities.

At this moment, the sensors installed on Tang Xiao and Wu Jie’s Tianwei SUV detected the changes in road conditions and activated the variable suspension system.

Through the air compressor and the exhaust valves, the spring of the suspension system extended, raising the chassis of the vehicle higher, increasing ground clearance to overcome larger rocks.

After slowly crawling through the tidal flat, what lay ahead was even more treacherous.

The Double Camel Hump, shell craters, threshold roads, water ditches, and cross-axles…

The intricately designed track was challenging through its lengthy harsh sections.

To prevent the race from being interrupted due to a vehicle getting stuck or breaking down and becoming immobile,

these special sections of the track were made particularly spacious, able to accommodate several vehicles for simultaneously engaging in off-road competition.

Driving on such sections, vehicle speed was akin to a turtle’s crawl.

And after passing through, the latter half of the course was a repeat of the first half, plus an additional sandy section.

It was nothing short of torturous for both vehicles and drivers.

For this reason, of the dozens of cars that enter each race, at most only half return to the finish line in one piece, the rest either become trapped or break down on the track.

Today was for adapting to the course, and without the pressure of a formal race, the drivers performed relatively well, with seventy percent of the cars returning to the finish line, including Tang Xiao and Wu Jie, who also made it back successfully.

However, the most dazzling was the first to return, the Mercedes G500.

And the driver was none other than Qin Yutian, the man whose arrogance and audacity infuriated Fang Qingya…
