Chapter 1568 Where did so many police cars come from?

"Bruch, see you at the hospital!" After figuring out the route, Xiao Peng fastened his seat belt, closed the window, and started the car.

The fat police officer looked at Bruch curiously and asked, "Why don't you hurry up and drive after him? We should drive after him too!"

Bruch smiled bitterly and said, "Follow? How to follow?" After saying that, he considerately stopped a few policemen and asked them to stay away.

Several police officers were confused. At this moment, Xiao Peng stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out with a loud roar. Before anyone could understand what was happening, Xiao Peng's car had disappeared without a trace, not even the taillights could be seen.

"Oh my god!" The fat police officer came to his senses and said, "Tom, get in the car with me and go to the hospital. The rest of you can continue to check here!"

Bruch got into the car with the girls.

The fat police officer scratched his head before getting in the car: "Why do I seem to have forgotten something? Never mind, get in the car!"

Xiao Peng wasn't actually driving very fast, only 'just' a little over 200 kilometers per hour. After all, a supercar like this has a very high fuel consumption. If you go full speed, a full tank of gas will only last about ten minutes at most. He had been out all day and the fuel in the car wasn't very high, so he had to control his speed.

But this speed is already amazing, okay?

This is an urban area, not a racetrack! Xiao Peng has already run through countless red lights along the way!

But honestly, this kind of driving, sprinting through city streets and dodging obstacles, is truly thrilling. Why do men love speed? This adrenaline rush is truly a fantastic experience! Xiao Peng simply turned on the car stereo, listened to some blasting music, and savored the feeling.

However, he overlooked a serious problem: the Hongqi S9... does not have a rearview mirror!

The rearview mirror of this car is displayed on the LCD screen inside the car, and right now there are several beautiful girls dancing on the LCD screen!

That is, the car has no rearview mirror. If it had, he would have noticed that countless police cars were chasing him from behind! More importantly, in addition to the police cars, there were two helicopters in the sky that were constantly tracking Xiao Peng's movements!

One of the two helicopters belonged to the police, and the other belonged to a local TV station, which was broadcasting the police arrest live.

As the fat police officer got in the car and followed Xiao Peng, he muttered that he seemed to have forgotten something - what had he forgotten? He forgot to notify the Houston police about this incident! Now the police in downtown Houston only knew that someone was speeding, and had no idea that Xiao Peng was trying to save someone!

Although Xiao Peng didn't know that there was a police car following him, he did know that there was a helicopter following him in the sky because it kept shining a searchlight on him.

But Xiao Peng misunderstood. He thought the Houston police were being very considerate, coming to light the way for him, fearing he wouldn't be able to see the road clearly...

Alas, you guys really underestimate me! Even though it's night time, the street lights in Houston are so bright!

Even though Texas suffered a major power outage last year that froze people to death, its status as the largest energy-rich state in the United States is no exaggeration. The street lights here are on 24 hours a day, so there is no need to worry about wasting energy.

The Americans are the worst bitches. On the one hand, they ask other countries to save energy and reduce emissions, but on the other hand, they waste more than anyone else!

Once you get here, you'll discover how shockingly extravagant and wasteful it is: street lights are on 24/7, 365 days a year, central air conditioning runs full blast in apartment buildings and office buildings year-round, and large-displacement cars are everywhere...

People here waste in all aspects, from food, clothing, housing and transportation.

This region accounts for 4% of the world's population, yet consumes 23% of the world's energy. Food waste is even more astonishing: over 150,000 tons of food are thrown away every day! That's an average of one pound of food per person per day!

But what's a little funny is that according to Xiao Peng's observation: "Diligence and thriftiness" is not really a traditional virtue unique to the Daxia people. The Americans here are even more frugal than the Daxia people!

It's no exaggeration to say this: most Americans' favorite shopping destination is the secondhand market, where they'll consider everything from furniture and cars to clothing for the right price. But what about the Chinese? Of course, they prefer new!

Food is also relatively simple here. You rarely see the lavish eating and drinking that characterizes the Daxia concept of only having leftovers to be considered full. People here prioritize making the most of things. Secondhand chains abound throughout the country, and you can find a plethora of them in every city.

But Americans are indeed very wasteful.

People here pursue the word "big" in many aspects. They want big cars, big houses, and big appliances. Moreover, they throw away anything they don't like. 12% of the world's garbage is created by the United States alone.

That day, they went shopping at Costco and witnessed the sheer wastefulness of the place. There was a fried chicken counter at Costco, and when Xiao Peng and his friends arrived, they noticed the cashier removing chicken from the counter. Xiao Peng assumed someone had bought all the chicken, but they told him the chicken was going to be thrown away. The reason for this was that the chicken had been out of the oven for two hours, and if it was sold any further, the taste would deteriorate. So, a large pile of fried chicken, now over two hours old, ended up in the trash.

The Japanese always brag about their "ingenuity". Look at the Americans, this is what "ingenuity" is, right?

However, this despicable and wasteful behavior has a different meaning in the mouths of domestic public intellectuals.

If these public intellectuals can even boast about India, what else can they not boast about? What about "extravagance and waste"? The Americans do this to feed the homeless poor on the streets.

We believe everything you say, right? But could you please explain to us why there are so many homeless people rummaging through trash cans for food?

The Methodist Hospital Xiao Peng was heading to was in downtown Houston, while South Houston was a traditional slum. As Xiao Peng passed through the slum and arrived in the city center, he truly felt like he wasn't in the city anymore! He saw a number of people pushing supermarket carts, walking slowly along the street like zombies. These people were basically the ones rummaging through the trash cans for food.

The security in Houston is good, but why don’t you try coming here at night?

But Xiao Peng was not in the mood to think about these things now, as the woman next to him was vomiting blood again!

He checked the fuel gauge and stepped on the accelerator, increasing his speed to a new level! This time, he completely left the police car behind him out of sight.

Xiao Peng drove to Methodist Hospital, called for medical staff to come out and rescue the woman, and then he went in and told them what had happened. He waited until the woman was pushed into the operating room before he walked out of the hospital gate to smoke a cigarette.

As soon as he walked out of the hospital gate and before he could even light a cigarette, he was shocked: "Wow, where did all these police cars come from? And why are they all carrying guns?"

Why the hell are they still pointing guns at me?
