Howard stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared, and he rushed forward with all his strength. But his car was an off-road vehicle, and although it had strong passability, it was not good at accelerating. Zheng Yubai watched helplessly as the car in front of them left them further and further behind, and soon only a small blurry light remained.
"Damn it!" Howard slapped the steering wheel and said in annoyance, "If I were driving the Skyline at home, I would definitely not let them be so arrogant."
"Let's go back and change the car." Zheng Yubai also knew that the current car would definitely not be able to deal with the arrogant speeding gang. Even if he had the skills of Michael Schumacher, he would need a similar car.
"You want to fight them?" Howard asked a little confused.
"I want to make them pay for their mistakes." Zheng Yubai hated all kinds of discrimination, especially those motorcycle gangs who treated other people's lives as a joke. If he didn't teach them a lesson, Zheng Yubai might have trouble sleeping tonight.
"There was a skull logo on the back of that car just now. It should be the local New Zealand biker gang Super Speed. I wonder who they are racing against today." Howard said, "The Super Speeders are all young men in their teens or early twenties. They are very barbaric and all extreme nationalists. The newspapers have reported many times that they beat Asians and Africans after getting drunk. You must be careful."
Howard didn't know much about Zheng Yubai. He only knew that Zheng Yubai was the son of a friend of Leng Tie and that he was helping him outside of work. As for what kind of person Zheng Yubai was, Leng Tie didn't say, and as a subordinate, he didn't ask much. He thought Zheng Yubai was a bounty hunter who took money to help others get rid of disasters, but when Howard saw him and Lin Xiaoxi talking happily, he realized that the man in front of him was extraordinary.
If Zheng Yubai had proposed racing with the motorcycle gang when they just met, Howard probably wouldn't have agreed. But now he was very interested and wanted to see what else Zheng Yubai was capable of.
Soon after returning home, Howard opened the underground garage and saw a black Skyline sports car parked quietly in the garage. This car was produced by Nissan. Although it was much slower than those luxury cars such as Ferrari and Porsche, it was definitely one of the favorites of racing masters.
Ever since Zheng Yubai mentioned racing, Wu Neng had been rubbing his hands in excitement. When he saw the car, he immediately shouted, "Let's go and kill those bastards. Let them know how powerful Asians are."
Zheng Yubai took the key from Howard, opened the door and got in. After the car started, the sound of the engine was obviously much louder than that of ordinary cars. This was because of the turbocharger. Zheng Yubai gently stepped on the accelerator, and the roar of the engine was endless. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get in the car, let's go slap them in the face."
Only 20 kilometers away from downtown Auckland, there is a place called Black Sand Beach, which is famous for the black sand on many beaches. It is a popular scenic spot for tourists. Although the road from the city center to Black Sand Beach is very solid, due to the terrain, most of the mountain roads are built along the mountain, and there are many bends shaped like paper clips. Usually, tourists who drive there have to control their speed carefully. Even so, there are still car accidents that lead to the tragedy of car crashes and deaths.
For tourists, the road is risky even during the day, let alone at night. For the reckless speeding gangs, the dark and windy night with no one on the road is a great opportunity for them to show off their driving skills.
The waves in the night are rolling non-stop. The sea that looks warm in the daytime is now like a roaring beast, smashing the huge waves onto the beach. The trees on the coast are blown by the wind, making ghostly whistling sounds that make people shudder.
Just in the shadows of the trees, car lights flashed by at a very high speed. In a moment, more than 20 cars had stopped on the black beach. The people getting off the cars were all white youths, some of them holding beer in their hands, shouting and making noise, and walking towards another group of people who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Edward, you're late." A yellow-skinned young man with an Asian face said coldly to a gloomy man who looked like the leader among the white people.
The man had a mohawk that was dyed red, which made him look very unique. He was tightly wrapped in a black leather coat on his skinny body, which made him look out of place. With his pale face, he looked like a reincarnated evil spirit.
"Wen, it's obviously too early for you. What, do you need to review first?" The man named Edward is the leader of the most arrogant speeding gang in New Zealand. Although he looks a bit scary, his racing skills have a very high reputation in the local area.
The Asian youth named Wen is the leader of the local Chinese motorcycle gang Night Dragon. The members of Night Dragon are mainly students and second-generation immigrants from Asia who come to New Zealand to study. Because their families have some assets, they can thrive in a country like New Zealand where cars are relatively cheap, and they buy top sports cars at any time. After several years of development, Night Dragon has the capital to challenge super speed. Today, the two sides agreed to have a competition at Black Sand Beach to decide who is the top motorcycle gang in the country.
"Our ancients have a saying that we can learn new things by reviewing the past, but you don't understand this anyway. In that era, you were still eating raw meat and drinking blood." Wen didn't take Edward's ridicule to heart. He was born in a wealthy family and always had a domineering arrogance. Edward relied on nothing more than his identity as a New Zealand citizen, and often looked down on Asians who came to New Zealand to do business and work. But compared to Wen's arrogance due to his family background and status, Edward was indeed a little too petty.
"I don't know who the ancients you are talking about are, so let us decide the winner." Edward had the arrogance that only white people have. In his opinion, whether it is yellow-skinned Asians or black-skinned Africans, they are just barbarians like monkeys. Only white people are the masters of this world, and others are just zombies. This is why he couldn't wait to suppress Night Dragon as soon as he rose.
"Very good, we are not here to teach you Chinese culture today, how do you compare?" He asked in a lukewarm tone, with the usual forbearance of a child from an aristocratic family, and his inner arrogance was concealed by his outward humility. People like him are like crocodiles disguised as wood in the swamp. Once you misjudge his cunning, you will be swallowed up by him silently.
"It's simple. We send two cars each, from the black sand beach to Highway 1. Whoever gets there first wins." Edward said. This is the fixed route for every race, and it is also the route Edward is best at. On this road, countless masters have been defeated by his perfect paperclip drift.
"Life and death are not the fault of others?" Wen asked again.
Edward grinned and said, "If you are scared, you can go home to your mother now."
"I'm just afraid that some lawyer will come and give me trouble when I attend your funeral." Wen shrugged and counterattacked very sharply.
"Whatever you say, you Asian guys are only good at talking." Edward laughed wildly without caring.
"I'll show you what I can do." Wen said, turning back and saying hello to his men, "Xiao Qi and I will go into battle. The others will go to Highway 1 first. Everyone keep in touch."
Xiao Qi is the most skilled person in the Night Dragon Team besides Wen. He is only 17 years old this year and has not yet reached the legal age for drinking. A smile appeared on his childish face, and he got into his beloved modified Evolution VII sports car and immediately started the engine.
Most of the cars not participating in the race left first and went to the finish line on Highway 1 to wait. The four cars participating in the race were ready to go and lined up in a straight line. They were not in a hurry to start the race, but to conduct the final inspection and warm up of their cars before the race.
Two charming beauties in miniskirts walked in front of the four cars, holding white flags in their hands. When the flags fell, the race began.
From time to time, someone on the car radio reported on the car conditions along the way. It was nearly two o'clock in the morning, and no one was interested in coming to the Black Sand Beach to see the beach at night, so there was no need to worry about anyone coming to spoil the view.
"Can we start now?" Wen rolled down the window and asked Edward who was standing nearby.
"If you want to see God earlier, I have no problem with that." Edward put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it on the beach.
The two beauties received the instructions and came to the four cars, holding the white flags high in their hands. The engines of the four cars were roaring, ready to move, like four angry beasts, wanting to devour the two beauties.
The flag fell, and four cars rushed out at the same time, like four arrows shot out of a bow in the night sky. The acceleration ability of the vehicles was very obvious in the initial stage. Wen's Toyota Speedster was the first to rush out, followed by Xiao Qi's Mitsubishi Evolution VII. Behind him was Edward's Golf, and the last one was another super speed expert, Johnson, who drove a Subaru racing car.
In fact, the starting speed cannot determine success or failure. At best, it can only prove the engine's ability to accelerate. The key to victory or defeat lies in the few bends leading to the finish line. In addition to the terrifying paper clip bend, there are several consecutive S-shaped bends that test the driver's ability. Once you make a mistake on the bend, no matter how powerful the engine is, you will have to accept the defeat.
The four cars had just left the Black Sand Beach and were on the road when they received a message on their radios at the same time.
"A car is rushing towards the black sand beach at a very high speed, please be careful to avoid it."
The four of them didn't take the information seriously. Once they were on the road, they would leave their fate to technology and God. A car coming from the opposite direction might be a good opportunity to kill their competitors. They all thought so in their hearts. Everyone stepped on the accelerator and kept changing gears, hoping to occupy a favorable position.
"Too fast!" Wu Neng howled, and then fell silent. He was originally determined not to use the seat belt, but after Zheng Yubai's car accelerated, he didn't need to be persuaded and obediently fastened the seat belt.
Compared to Wu Neng, Howard, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, seemed much more sensible. He tied himself tightly to the seat with a seat belt and didn't even dare to breathe. Although Zheng Yubai's current speed was only about 80 kilometers per hour, it was really dizzying and terrifying to see him turning continuously without slowing down.
The car turned several corners crazily on the highway in front of the mountain, slowed down slightly and passed the paperclip bend. Not long after that, it encountered a large group of speeding gangs. Their engines were turned up to the maximum and the speed was as fast as possible. But judging from their posture, they were not racing.
"The racing cars should be at the back, these are just minions." said Howard, who had seen and heard something about racing.
"Catch the leader first." Zheng Yubai stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed past the convoy like lightning and headed straight for the black sand beach.
Perhaps he couldn't bear the pressure, Howard pressed the button of the car's audio system with his finger, and the rhythmic song of the Dancing Spirits band immediately floated in the car.
"It is said that this is the best song to listen to while driving fast." Howard whispered.
Wu Neng curled his lips in the back seat, looking like he was causing more trouble. However, one of the two people in the front seat was concentrating on controlling the car, and the other was extremely nervous, so no one had time to care about his feelings.
Zheng Yubai felt that what Howard said made sense. The rhythm in the song was indeed exciting and stirred up his feelings about cars. He still remembered that when he was learning to drive with Xue Bingyang, she once said that a truly good driver must have a very strong sense of rhythm. Only by mastering the rhythm of the car can you reach the fastest speed.
The black silhouette on the skyline moved faster and faster to the cheering of the music until a row of car lights appeared in front.
"That must be them." Howard couldn't help but yelled when he saw the car on the opposite side rushing towards him at an extremely crazy speed. Both sides were driving at high speed, and he felt like his breathing was stagnant when he saw the lights on the opposite side approaching quickly from a distance.
"Really..." Zheng Yubai didn't slow down at all, and the car rushed towards the four cars on the opposite side. The engine of the car had been increased to the maximum horsepower. Howard couldn't help but hold the handle tightly, and he, who had always been an atheist, began to pray. The five people in the back row also huddled tightly in the chair and started to recite the Buddhist scriptures from the beginning, which he hadn't read for several years.
The first person to discover Zheng Yubai was Wen, who was in the front. The speed car he was driving was known to have the fastest straight-line acceleration, and he was best at leaving his opponent behind on a straight road. After rushing out of the black sand beach, this was the longest straight road. It was just when he was trying to distance himself from his opponent, but a car drove towards him, which made Wen very angry. What made him even more angry was that the opponent's speed was also very fast, and there was no sign of giving way. If he really rushed over like this, he would definitely die at the next bend.
In order to avoid any accidents, Wen could only slow down and slightly adjust the direction. As soon as he slowed down, Xiao Qi behind him wanted to overtake him, but he obviously also noticed Zheng Yubai rushing towards him, and immediately released the accelerator.
As the two hesitated, Edward, who was in third place, jumped up immediately. When racing, a second of hesitation could determine victory or defeat. Edward was a man who valued victory or defeat more than his life. He didn't care how fast Zheng Yubai's car was. With the idea of risking his life, he suddenly overtook Xiao Qi and Wen, and was only a few hundred meters away from Zheng Yubai's car.
The two cars were only a few hundred meters apart and were about to collide in a moment. However, the two drivers seemed to have a tacit understanding and gently moved the steering wheels to the side. The two cars slightly offset each other by a few inches as the engines roared and turned, and passed each other safely.
"Shit!" Wen He Xiao Qi, who was overtaken, cursed at the same time, and then accelerated desperately, trying to wipe out the shame of being overtaken. They also blocked the road tightly, never letting the last Johnson overtake.
After Zheng Yubai's car passed Edward, Howard was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he saw Zheng Yubai let go of the accelerator, lightly tap the brake, pull the handbrake, and turn the steering wheel, all in one smooth action.
"What are you doing!" Howard's question was suppressed by the dizziness caused by the rotation before he could even utter it. The Skyline suddenly turned around and made a 360-degree shift.
"Oh my God..." Howard was almost dizzy by Zheng Yubai's move. Just when he didn't know whether to praise him for his beautiful turn on the spot or criticize him for scaring people, Zheng Yubai stepped on the accelerator and the car suddenly jumped out, making Howard hold back his words again.
Howard, who had learned his lesson, dared not speak nonsense this time. He felt very uncomfortable when his words were interrupted. He could only watch Zheng Yubai speed up the car to over 150 kilometers. Although this speed was not absolutely fast, considering the difficulty of the road and visibility, even the king of cars, Schumacher, could only reach this limit when driving on this road.
After passing Zheng Yubai, Edward firmly took the first place. With his skills, it was easy for him to control the overtaking of the car behind him. You have to know that this is not a regular F1 race. Any action to prevent the opponent from overtaking is allowed. If you die on this road, it can only be said that you are not good enough in skills, and you can't blame others.
Although Wen He and Xiao Qi worked together to block Johnson behind them, no matter how hard they tried to overtake, they could not escape the obstruction of Edward, the old fox. Xiao Qi once forced to overtake but Edward blocked his way with a slight turn of the steering wheel, and he almost fell into the abyss under the road, which scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't be anxious, there is a bend ahead, we have a chance." Seeing that Xiao Qi was a little impatient, Wen immediately contacted him using the radio in the car.
Xiao Qi slowed down for a while, and when he no longer felt the threat from behind, Edward stepped on the accelerator and headed straight for the first difficult S-shaped curve.
Compared to Edward who was in the lead, Johnson, who had been suppressed at the end, was very annoyed. In front of him were the two cars of Wen He and Xiao Qi, which kept a just right distance and blocked him just right, leaving him no possibility of overtaking at all.
While he was thinking about how to overtake, he saw headlights shining from behind. Looking through the rearview mirror, Johnson recognized at a glance that it was the skyline that he had just passed by.
"How did he catch up?" Johnson felt a little puzzled, and then this suspicion was replaced by surprise. The speed of this car was too fast and it was approaching rapidly. You know, he was running at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, which was already the limit on the road of the black sand beach. Even Edward could only run at a speed of 140 kilometers under good road conditions. How could the skyline behind him be so fast
Whether he believed it or not, the approach of the skyline was a fact that could not be ignored. Seeing the car behind him getting closer and closer, Johnson became even more anxious. The car in front blocked him from passing, and the car behind was still chasing him. This feeling of being in the middle of a sandwich was not fun at all.
"I must overtake." Johnson felt a surge of anger in his heart. Seeing that the distance between the cars Wen He and Xiao Qi was slightly widened, he stepped on the accelerator suddenly and rushed out. In the nick of time, the car rushed in between the two cars. The originally narrow road suddenly became a road with three cars driving side by side, and not far ahead was a very tricky S-shaped curve.
"Looking for death." Wen snorted coldly. He was on the outside and couldn't fight hard. After giving instructions to Xiao Qi on the radio, he eased off the accelerator and gradually fell down. Xiao Qi and Johnson fought each other until they rushed to the S-shaped curve.
Edward had conquered the S-curve with a few beautiful drifts, and his lead had expanded to two seconds, but his good mood disappeared without a trace, because he happened to look up at the rearview mirror and saw two cars rushing side by side towards the S-curve.
"Are you crazy?" Edward exclaimed, and then he saw the headlights of the car outside flash and then disappear.
There was a scream on the radio, and Edward recognized it as Johnson's voice. But he couldn't look back at this moment, so he could only grit his teeth and step on the accelerator, hoping to continue to expand his lead.
"You yellow monkeys from Asia, I will make you pay the price." Edward roared fiercely, the sound no louder than his hoarse car engine.
Xiao Qi used his tough style to make Johnson's car lose balance with a slight collision when entering the S-curve. After his front wheel stepped into the air, the powerful driving force of the rear drive allowed him to drive the car to the bottom of the cliff. The rumbling sound behind him did not attract Xiao Qi to look back. His attention was completely focused on Edward, who was pulling him down.
Wen witnessed the scene of Johnson's car being destroyed and he did not stop for a moment, but he was very curious about the Skyline following behind him. This car first helped Howard, and now it is catching up with him. Who is in the car? Is it Edward's helper? If so, then you are ready to go to hell with Johnson. Wen thought maliciously, and he had already thought of several ways to kill Skyline. (To be continued)
