Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 27

In the dead of night, raindrops slid down from the sky. It should be the height of summer, but the rain seemed to carry and concentrate the chill of the entire world. Large raindrops pattered on anything they could hit on the ground, making it feel cool.

A dirt road a few kilometers west of the Dingshan Viaduct on the Tingmadian section of the Hexi Corridor in Hebei Province.

Two cars are racing each other at high speed on a muddy road.

The car in front was a black Toyota Camry. The model was ordinary, but the driver's superb skills made it stand out. Even in the rainy weather, on a muddy road full of potholes, the car was still able to drive steadily at high speed.

The car behind was a small hatchback, a Volkswagen Golf GTI. Already hailed as a "hot hatch," this performance car, after being modified by Chen Shu, boasted significantly improved horsepower, braking, and stability, making it a natural choice to overtake the car in front. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, the car's trajectory was erratic, with noticeable burning on the right wheel, and it frequently veered off course.

In the blink of an eye, the two cars had made a slight left turn one after the other, passing through a small bend, and were about to enter the main road not far ahead.

As Chen Shu was driving his Golf, he noticed the black Camry ahead entering the main road. He then withdrew his gaze from the road ahead and fixed his eyes on the red taillights of the vehicle in front of him.

Because of that fleeting glance, he knew that the long-awaited road was about to appear. The final, life-or-death moment had arrived.

Hehe, it would be fun if it weren't a main road. But I can't worry about that now, the car probably won't last much longer anyway.
Chen Shu applied the brakes slightly to prevent the car from flying sideways due to excessive speed on steep inclines and declines.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The golf cart had just emerged from a slightly elevated bend when it made a small leap, followed by two hard thuds from the front and rear wheels. A loud bang was heard from the rim of the tire on the right side where it had burst, and mud and gravel began to fly around it.

The vehicle slid and lurched toward a ditch on the side of the road.

The wheel rim is probably cracked; this is likely the last chance.
Chen Shu ignored the warning, kept his left hand firmly on the steering wheel, and pressed the nitrogen start button without hesitation with his right hand.

Nitrogen gas, injected in one go!
Safe driving time: ten seconds!

The engine under the hood of the Golf suddenly emitted a violent and incomparable noise, unexpectedly tearing apart the tranquility of the rainy night.

Driven by its powerful engine, the Golf suddenly jerked in the opposite direction due to the instability of the four wheels and the uneven force caused by the wheel hub on one side.

However, due to the previous enormous inertia, the vehicle was still forced to slowly slide diagonally towards the ditch on the right side of the road.

Chen Shu grunted, desperately trying to keep the steering wheel steady, and released the accelerator with his right foot, but he still didn't touch the brake.

He knew that the wheel rim, which had already been rubbed until it was scorching hot, was at its most vulnerable moment, and there was probably no more chance or time left for him.

He could only grip the steering wheel tightly and watch helplessly as the vehicle slid toward the side of the road.

However, he was also lucky; at least the roll that was most likely to happen did not occur.

At this moment, Chen Shu not only lost control of the vehicle, but also was about to lose sight of the road ahead.

If any other vehicles were to enter this area at this time, it would result in an extremely dangerous and serious traffic accident.

At this moment, if any normal person were on the scene, whether it was intermittent braking or sustained braking, whether the steering wheel was turned all the way or kept in place, their first reaction and priority would always be to stabilize the vehicle and stop it!
But for Chen Shu, his next move, or rather, all his actions and efforts so far, have only one purpose: to catch up with the one ahead.

Braking? That's impossible!
"Snapped!"

Chen Shu bit his lip hard, a few drops of blood sliding down his cheek. He stared ahead, his mind blank. At this moment, there was no calm analysis, no rational reasoning, no composed response.

The only thing left was the red taillights that were about to disappear from sight.

Chen Shu once again used his palm as leverage, without the slightest hesitation, and slammed it hard against the nitrous oxide acceleration system activation button! At the same time, his right heel slammed into the floor!
Nitrogen gas, secondary injection!
Safe driving time: None! At this moment, the Golf, whose left side was half-raised and which was still moving sideways toward the ditch at the edge of the road, suddenly stopped.

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had stopped.

then,

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In a flash, the engine roared wildly and nakedly! The hood seemed unable to contain the full power of the 3.0T V6 engine.

Like a raging beast unable to contain its rage, it roared incessantly! The cage that imprisoned it could no longer withstand this earth-shattering madness.

At this moment, the Golf, with its left half suspended and only its right two wheels dragging on the ground, stopped shifting to the side and, after a pause, began to lurch forward again.

The car veered off course, heading straight into a ravine!
Sitting in the car, Chen Shu finally lost sight of the vehicles in front of him. All that hung in front of him was the endless night sky and the darkness below the mountain road.

In his last, fleeting glance, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the car in front of him suddenly stopping. In his daze, he imagined the other car was also waiting for him to fall, waiting for death to arrive.

Hehe, please excuse my poor performance... Chen Shu had no good options left. The steering wheel was already stuck, and the nitrous oxide system was exhausted. The only thing he could do was to release the accelerator to make himself roll down the mountain road faster.

Then, he stepped on the brakes.

He slammed on the brakes!
Thanks to the Golf’s extremely sensitive dynamic handling linkage system and its powerful braking capabilities, all four tires were locked in place in an instant.

"Bang! Bang!"

In the nick of time, the two left wheels landed one after the other. With all four wheels on the ground, the Golf's turning radius was reduced due to the previous tire blowout. That is, the distance the blown tire rotated in one revolution was less than the distance the tire that did not blow out covered. As a result, the side with the blown tire moved slowly, while the side without the blowout moved quickly.

"Boom!"

The wheel rim, which had suffered a tire blowout, could not withstand the continuous pressure and tearing, and burst open and shattered instantly!

The Golf, which was originally tilting and heading towards the ravine, was forcibly turned around by the force in the opposite direction.

Golf, straighten the car!

Even with only three tires left, the Golf shot off!

"Luck is also a part of strength."

Sitting in the car, Chen Shu, whose vision was constantly blurred as the golf ball soared through the air, couldn't resist a slight smirk, not forgetting to show off. He was a little dizzy and was just about to regain his composure and continue the pursuit when...

A deafening roar, as loud as if it pierced through the clouds and split rocks, resounded through the clouds.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As expected, the golf ball crashed violently into the car in front of it.

Chen Shu, however, had already lost himself in the comforts of the airbag.
