After taking advice, I became a top male idol.
Chapter 88 Racing Against Time, Drifting Through the Corner!
It was 7:11 PM.
The sun had completely set, and even the last rays of its afterglow were swallowed up by the rolling mountains.
The sky darkened.
The few dim streetlights that occasionally lit up not only failed to illuminate the road ahead, but also made the mountain path appear even darker.
"boom--!!!"
The twelve-meter-long bus roared deafeningly as it plunged into the pitch-black downhill road.
The Nujiang River has eighteen bends.
This road, which makes even seasoned drivers weak in the knees during the day, reveals its true colors at night!
Fog has risen in the mountains.
With the two high beams of the bus shining out, visibility was less than twenty meters.
The carriage was very quiet.
There was only the dull roar of the engine and the occasional violent jolts from the chassis.
Xu Xing gripped the metal railing behind the passenger seat tightly, his face pale.
The assistant held Tang Xiaoxiao, who had fallen into a coma, tightly, huddled in the corner of the seat, and dared not look out the window.
Xu Xing looked out the window.
It’s over.
This time it's really over.
To the left are sheer cliffs, and the protruding rocks, illuminated by the car headlights, seem as if they might smash through the car window and fall in at any moment.
To the right was an impenetrable expanse of darkness.
That's an abyss!
It's the Nu River with its rapid currents!
If the tires deviate by even half a meter, the entire vehicle will instantly lose its center of gravity and tumble into the water!
"squeak--"
The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground was unusually sharp and piercing.
The bus came to a sharp bend.
Xu Xing subconsciously closed his eyes, and his body suddenly tilted to one side due to inertia.
But the violent shaking he had anticipated did not occur; the car was surprisingly stable.
but......
too fast!
That's incredibly fast!
This is not the speed a bus should be traveling downhill at all!
On downhill sections, the biggest taboos for heavy passenger vehicles are excessive speed and frequent braking. If the brake pads overheat and cause the air brakes to fail, the consequences could be disastrous.
Any driver with common sense would have to keep to a low gear and crawl downhill like a snail.
But Lin Zhixing did not.
Xu Xing opened his eyes and looked at the figure in the driver's seat with horror.
Lin Zhixing was wearing a seatbelt, but he seemed to be nailed to the seat, completely motionless.
His hands gripped the huge black steering wheel firmly.
Lin Zhixing stared intently at the road ahead, shrouded in mist.
Ahead, there was another extremely treacherous U-shaped hairpin bend.
Even ordinary cars need to slow down here, let alone a 12-meter-long bus. If you're not careful, the huge turning radius will cause the rear wheels to hang directly in the air!
"Slow down! Zhixing! Slow down!!!"
Xu Xing finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted it out.
But Lin Zhixing's right foot was still on the accelerator!
Instead of applying the brakes, he accelerated!
"boom!"
Just as the front of the car was about to hit the cliff.
Lin Zhixing quickly pressed the clutch with his left foot, slapped the exhaust brake valve with his right hand, and at the same time, with a dazzling speed, turned the huge steering wheel all the way to the left!
"Sizzle—!!!"
A huge burst of air pressure shot out from under the car!
The bus's rear wheels locked up completely in that instant!
The massive and heavy rear of the vehicle, propelled by immense inertia, was violently flung outward toward the cliff edge!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The assistant in the back row was so frightened that she closed her eyes and let out a desperate scream!
Xu Xing also closed his eyes.
He knew that the bus had gone out of control and was skidding.
They're doomed.
however.
one second.
two seconds.
The expected feeling of weightlessness and falling off a cliff did not come.
Instead, the bus suddenly jolted, and with the engine roaring again, it miraculously regained its balance and, like an arrow released from a bow, continued to speed along the straight road after the bend!
Xu Xing opened his eyes blankly, staring at the bend in the rearview mirror that was getting further and further away.
My mind went completely blank.
drift?!
Is that drifting?!
A 12-meter-long, 14-ton bus performed a perfect inertial drift on a cliffside mountain road that was only 4 meters wide!
Is this some kind of sci-fi movie?!
"Hold on tight, this is just the beginning. Don't worry, you'll catch up."
In the driver's seat, Lin Zhixing didn't turn his head, his tone calm.
He had no time to slow down.
If acute suppurative appendicitis perforates, causing massive abdominal bleeding and infection, even a miracle worker couldn't save you in this desolate wilderness.
He has to drive the bus like a race car!
Faster! Faster!
Seize every precious second in the face of adversity!
"boom--!!!"
The bus accelerated again and rushed towards the next bend!
......
at the same time.
The Nujiang River has eighteen bends, located halfway up the mountain.
There is a huge viewing platform carved out by man, which is also the most open and best-viewing spot on the entire mountain road.
In front of the viewing platform lies the most famous and dangerous section of the road: the "Five Deadly Hairpin Bends".
At this moment, four or five modified performance sports cars are parked on the viewing platform.
The colorful chassis lights twinkled in the night.
Seven or eight young men and women dressed in motorcycle gear and wearing earrings were gathered together smoking and bragging.
This group of people is a notorious underground street racing gang in southern Yunnan.
At the very center of the crowd, a cool-looking young man in his late twenties with a buzz cut was surrounded like a star.
His name is Li Feng.
The ace of a top underground racing team in China, who almost passed the trial for a professional racing team, is now considered to have reached the pinnacle of becoming a professional racer.
"Brother Feng, this is the track for the race the day after tomorrow."
A local young man with dyed blond hair respectfully handed Li Feng a Huaxia cigarette and lit it for him.
"This place is really weird. There are five consecutive hairpin bends, and the road slopes outwards. If you brake even slightly, the car will slide straight down the cliff."
Li Feng took a deep drag of his cigarette, his eyes sharply fixed on the bend ahead, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
"It is indeed a bit difficult."
Li Feng said casually, "It's nothing special. I just did a quick run and my time was 9 minutes and 10 seconds. That's the highest record here, right?"
"Brother Feng is awesome!"
"Absolutely! Even the fastest of us on this route would take twelve or thirteen minutes. Feng, you broke the record on your first try! In the race the day after tomorrow, that lousy team on the other side will be absolutely crushed by you!"
"Hahaha, that goes without saying!"
"Feige's reputation as a racing god isn't for nothing!"
Several henchmen were frantically flattering him.
Just then.
"boom--"
A deep, violent engine roar suddenly came from the direction of the mountaintop.
The sound seemed unusually abrupt in the quiet night.
"Holy crap? Someone's racing?" The blond guy was stunned for a moment, his hand holding the cigarette frozen in mid-air.
"Judging from the sound... that's pretty powerful. But why does it sound a bit strange?" Another racer frowned.
"And how powerful must that horsepower be? Listening to that roar, it feels like the whole mountain is shaking!"
"Did some rich guy bring a heavy armored vehicle to drive around the mountains?"
The roar was unlike the crisp, high-pitched sound of a typical sports car.
Instead, he was unusually depressed.
"Sizzle—!!!"
Suddenly, a loud hissing sound rang out.
Li Feng's expression changed instantly.
As a semi-professional race car driver, he is extremely familiar with the sounds of all kinds of vehicles.
That's not the sound of a sports car's blow-off valve at all!
That's the sound of air brakes from a heavy-duty vehicle!
"Are you crazy?!"
Li Feng tossed his cigarette butt to the ground, his gaze fixed on the bend in the mountain road above. "A heavy truck is going downhill at that speed?! Has its brakes failed?!"
All the street racers looked over.
The sound is getting closer!
It's getting louder and louder!
Along with that came the continuous, chilling sound of tires screeching against each other!
"squeak----!"
"Look! They're here!"
