Chapter 424: 408: Mom, she’s cheating!

Reflected in the mirror was a giant blade slicing through the tangled cars. The layers of armor, the unified chassis and frame – everything was cut open in an instant.

It was like a hot knife through butter, smooth, yet horrifying!

The most terrifying sight was this: despite slicing through so much steel, there was not a single nick on the blade. It remained as fresh and new as it had started, gleaming coldly.

Now, this gleaming, fresh blade was getting closer to him.

Wu Di yanked the steering wheel and drifted smoothly around the corner.

The chains on the ball tightened suddenly, but due to inertia, the iron ball was ferociously thrown off the track.

Among the screams and evasive maneuvers of the spectators by the road side, the massive iron ball crashed into a convenience store, smashing a hole that reached the roof.

Then dragged by the chain, it crushed shelf after shelf, broken goods scattered everywhere, even the load-bearing columns could not stop its advance.

Finally, the iron ball punched another large hole in the wall and rolled back onto the track, looking tremendously fierce with shocking destructive power.

But at this point, Wu Di’s lips were tightly shut, a sign of his extreme tension.

And the reason for his tension was very simple–

Mavis had rounded the corner and was headed straight for him!

This heavy-duty truck was moving faster now!

Mavis was steering with one hand while emphatically hitting a button on the steering wheel with the other.

The horn of the car should’ve been located here, but instead, the noise resembled that of a train horn.

“Honk–”

The honking sound gave Wu Di, who was already tense, a shock.

Looking at the giant blade closing in, he gritted his teeth, made a firm decision, and hit another black button.

“Bang.”

It only made a small sound.

But the iron chains, thick as an adult’s wrist, instantly detached from the car and were left on the road dragged by the iron ball.

And Wu Di, now free of the heavy load, finally was able to go full throttle and push the speed to its limit.

Obviously, his speed increased significantly. He narrowly escaped the blade, pulling away from the heavy-duty truck and escaped death!

The official live streaming room even gave a close up to show everyone that the license plate on Wu Di’s car was sliced by the blade, to highlight the near death escape.

“Mavis, do you need me to do anything?” Lincoln volunteered.

“No need! Mavis has it under control!” Mavis once again stepped on the orange button.

“Alright. Go Mavis.” Lincoln yawned out of boredom and leaned back, daydreaming once again.

Even in the midst of a high-speed chase, Wu Di couldn’t help but free up one hand to beat his chest, “My god, this is too terrifying! Lincoln is too ruthless!”.

Except for the Super Tomato team, most people didn’t realize that Mavis, not Lincoln, was driving.

Getting rid of the weight, Wu Di’s speed rose to 80km/h, quickly overtaking one car after another.

He had to concentrate fully, otherwise he could easily crash and die. Naturally, he had no time to pay attention to the comments in the live streaming room.

Otherwise, he would have found that countless audience members were posting the same comment—

“Run!!!”

“Run!”

“Run for your damn life!!!”

Not only in “I’m Really Called Wu Di” livestreaming room, but in every livestreaming room where people can see Lincoln and Mavis’ heavy-duty truck, the audience are all yelling like crazy.

Because after Mavis stepped on the orange button, from the rear of the heavy-duty truck, a 2×2 meter square steel plate was ejected, revealing a giant round nozzle!

The next moment, flames are spouting out!

Violent flames gushed fiercely, creating a straight pillar of fire from the nozzle, the horrific sound even louder and scarier than a helicopter engine!

The color of the flame changed rapidly, orange, golden, white…finally it turned to pure blue.

And from the thick, straight blue flame, through the repeated cycles of intense compression waves and expansion waves, visible circular rings formed rapidly!

Although a lot has been said, this series of changes actually took place within a few seconds.

The audience in the live stream just became aware of what’s about to happen, only to find it had already happened.

The speed at which people type couldn’t keep up with guessing what was going on. They only had the time to express their observations after the event, and at this time, their observations were filled with dialects:

“Damn! Mach rings!”

“At first I thought it was nitrous injection! But is this damn thing a fighter jet engine?!”

“I suspect it’s a freaking rocket engine! And the most hardcore version!”

FYI, the development path of aerospace in this world is a bit peculiar.

In the long wars, no one had the mood to explore the universe.

There was never a special space race in the backdrop of a cold war.

As a result, the development of aerospace started very late, almost not until the end of the war. Before that, there simply wasn’t enough investment for such a venture.

Even in peacetime, at the very beginning, the focus wasn’t that great. It was only elevated in importance in the past few years.

Of course, to preserve the precious peace, no country dares to claim any plan for a “Star Wars”.

Even if there is competition, it is kept as mild as possible to avoid friction, even conscious collaboration is present.

The interesting thing is: due to the strong demand in time of war, the development of related technology like fighter jets and missiles boomed.

Once aerospace became a serious tech field, people immediately found that some key prerequisite technologies had already been developed…

So, the development pace of the aerospace field is progressing rapidly, with rockets being launched over a dozen times a year.

Keep in mind that the aerospace field is still a fairly new domain, let alone being a mature industry.

Even so, the uniqueness of “space” immediately attracted numerous attention, expectations and inquisitive gazes.

Of course, this didn’t stop everyone from teasing Lincoln and Mavis in the game:

“Seriously, does Night City even have this sort of stuff? I really don’t believe it!”

“They can literally fly to the sky, but they chose to run on the ground. They’re too soft-hearted! I can’t…I’m crying!”

“I saw the close-up earlier. There were seven brightly colored buttons on the console in front of Mavis! Now, the second one’s already a freaking rocket engine, what’s the seventh? A simultaneous launch of a thousand intercontinental missiles?”

“They’re blatantly cheating! No wonder they claim they’re NPCs. They just want to hack the game without any guilt!”

“Mom, they’re cheating!”

No matter how wild the comments flew, they couldn’t stop the heavy-duty truck that was accelerating furiously on the track!

Many cars desperately sprayed fire at the rapidly approaching truck, threw hand grenades, incendiary bombs, and emptied rounds at the driver’s seat…

But all was in vain!

To the despair of the shooters: even bullets from rifles left only white spots on the windshield.

Obviously, the windshield had been technologically enhanced…

If it was Lincoln driving, he would at most install some extra layers of glass and a device to discard damaged glass to prevent any obstruction.

If he took a headshot because the glass was shattered by players, he would just have to accept his bad luck.

However, when Mavis was driving, Lincoln couldn’t stand the thought of her getting shot. Without a second thought, he added “technology” to the glass.

There was no threat from the somewhat ticklish attacks.

With its speed reaching the limit, the heavy-duty truck, which seemed to be flying just above the ground, sped past many cars at an absurd pace!

All the cars in front, those who couldn’t make way in time, those who didn’t believe what was coming, those who were obstinately counter-attacking, were all cut in half by the sharp blade!

The cars on the sides that managed to avoid the blade, were thrown into disarray.

These serial collisions, overturns, resulted in numerous drivers being killed on the spot. At the same time, they left a large number of obstacles on the track, some even catching fire.

On the edge of the track, some lucky survivors had to slow down and try to avoid one obstacle after another.

Wu Di’s good luck had come to an end.

On this straight track, Mavis drove the heavy-duty truck like a sharp knife, cutting at full speed from one end to the other, unimpaired by anyone or any car.

Wu Di originally had a chance to escape. He was not in the truck’s path as he had swerved to overtake another car.

Unfortunately, the moment Mavis hit the button, she was aiming for him!

The steering wheel turned quickly and then swiftly pulled back, the giant blade at the front of the truck carved out a thrilling and exciting arc.

Wu Di’s car was immediately cleaved in two.

The back half of the car remained on the track, while the front half was carried off the track with Wu Di inside.

“Yay!” Mavis shouted, pumping her fist in the air.

By the end of the straight road, the large engine exhaust, the Mach ring receded, the flame column shortened, the flame weakened, and finally disappeared.

Seeing this, the audience let out a collective sigh of relief–

Thank god, Lincoln does have some self-respect, he didn’t really make this a regular propulsion system. If he did, it would be game over for everyone else.

The giant blade looked scary, but it was really just bullying those modified cars that focussed on defense and had inferior weapons.

Once they got to the front, without that crazy speed, many weapons would pose a threat to them.

Meanwhile, the rock car team from Super Tomato also saw the huge windfall that fell from the sky.

All along their route, they had watched the heavy truck rampage on its way.

After the previous turn, due to impatience, a car almost crashed into the giant iron ball in the middle of the road.

Then they had a close-up view of Mavis activating the invincible engine.

The gorgeous blue tail flame and Mach ring were less than twenty meters away from them!

The ensuing destructive sprint dumbfounded every one of them.

It wasn’t until the heavy truck slowed down again that they realized–

A straight expressway had appeared before their eyes!

All the vehicles and obstacles had been swept to the sides of the road by the truck, and there was nothing in the middle where the truck had passed!

“Charge, charge, charge!” Super Tomato started stomping on the gas pedal without thinking. “Get through before those on the sides react!”

“Go, go, go!” His teammates quickly followed, “Hahahaha, this is amazing!”

The team quickly contracted their formation, rushing forward in a straight line, surpassing one car after another on both sides of the road.

This felt so easy, to the point where the teammates even started imagining a bright future:

“Stick with Lincoln, do we have a chance to seize the second or third place?”

“The second place my ass! Just listen to me, the champion!”

“Exactly, Lincoln counts as an NPC! He is not in the ranking!”

“Charge, charge, charge! We all have a bright future, hahahaha!”

On the mini stage behind Super Tomato, the rock singer, with half of his hair wild and long and the other half smoky and bald, looked more rock ‘n’ roll than ever.

He strummed his electric guitar, and the giant speakers instantly responded, and, thus, the music started again!

He flipped his long hair, leaned in closer to the microphone and shouted aloud–

“We Are the Champions!!”

“Let’s Goooooo”
