Chapter 963 Welcome to the Death Train
Conan was startled: Sports car? ?
In this era, cars had just been invented and the streets were filled with horse-drawn carriages. Where did this sports car come from? !
But speaking of this car...
Conan suddenly remembered something.
——When they first entered the game, "Cocoon" gave them a total of five copies, and one of them was the "Paris Dakar Off-Road Race".
If I remember correctly, Jiang Xia was sent to that copy to drive by the cunning AI under the pretext of an "advertising badge".
And now, this approaching sports car...
Could it be that Jiang Xia is coming? !
"..." Apart from that, Conan couldn't figure out why a flashy sports car would suddenly appear in such a good copy of "Jack the Ripper".
Conan turned around tentatively and shouted at the convertible: "Jiang Xia——!"
The people in the car waved at him from afar, as if responding to his call.
"...It's really him. Are the dungeons connected?"
Conan verified his guess, and the huge stone in his heart slowly fell to the ground.
He suddenly thought, no wonder five copies were held in succession at this game conference: now it seems that since this is an online game that emphasizes collaboration, perhaps these copies will be cleverly connected - maybe the train they are on is transporting supplies prepared for players in a certain copy. Logically, they should ensure that the supplies arrive smoothly, and then one link after another... However, judging from the number of remaining players before, the players in other copies have been wiped out.
Now, no one from the other three copies came to join them, probably because no one could walk out alive, otherwise it is unknown in what form they would appear here.
Conan was curious for a moment, then quickly cut off his thoughts: "..." No, no, no, game mechanics are not the current focus.
The top priority right now is to clear the level as quickly as possible and rescue the fifty players in the "cocoon".
Thanks to Noah - although this black AI sanctioned them everywhere, it did not tamper with the final copy fusion. And Jiang Xia is undoubtedly a very reliable teammate. Conan looked at the sports car that fell from the sky, and his heart, which was originally a little desperate, suddenly jumped up and down again.
…
The golden sports car came speeding, and before it hit the train, it made a sharp turn. The fine sand splashed by the wheels hit the car with a crackling sound. The sports car turned nearly ninety degrees, parallel to the train, and drove forward with a roar.
Looking from this distance, the driver's face became completely clear - it was really Jiang Xia!
"'Jack the Ripper' is dead, but this train can't brake. Our condition for passing the level is probably to survive this out-of-control train!" Conan didn't have time to chat. He looked at the sports car running parallel to the train and communicated loudly in the huge noise, "What are your conditions for passing the level? If yours is easier, do yours first!"
Jiang Xia was sitting in a convertible sports car, wearing a pair of goggles given by the organizer.
He thought for a moment and turned to look at Conan: "Just do your task - don't worry about that train, just find a way to get to my car first." As he said that, he raised his hand and patted the passenger seat.
Conan: “…” How to get over there, jump up?
He measured the distance between the train and the sports car, and his heart sank slightly - there was a lot of gravel piled up near the train track, and this section of the road was quite inclined, and the ground was uneven. Jiang Xia's sports car was a relatively old model. If they got too close, the car would be destroyed and people would die. If they followed behind the train, it would be difficult to control the speed. This was a curve...
Suddenly, the voice of "Hideki Moroboshi" came from the side: "Be careful, there is a tunnel ahead!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the train rushed into the tunnel with a "whoosh".
The surroundings darkened, the air pressure suddenly changed, and the wind suddenly became stronger. Conan leaned down and grabbed the handrail on the roof with difficulty to steady himself.
At the same time, he looked at the size of the tunnel and felt disappointed - the width here was not enough for a train and a sports car to run side by side...
Where are Jiang Xia and the others? !
Did he hit the hole just now... Damn it, I shouldn't have talked to him just now! As expected, whether in a game or in real life, you should concentrate on driving and never look to the side.
Conan, feeling sad for having let down his teammates and despair about the future, suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.
I originally thought I would see the magnificent flames splashing out after the sports car crashed into the wall.
But it didn't.
——Amid the noisy sound of the wind and the clanging of the tracks, there was a faint sound of noise.
When Conan turned around, he saw that the golden sports car had driven onto the wall without him noticing. It sped along the curved cave wall, cutting a neat arc, and in the blink of an eye turned from the side wall to the dome, passing right above Conan and "Hideki Moroboshi".
"Get up!" Jiang Xia waved at them and sped against the wind. Although the situation was critical, he seemed to enjoy the thrill of this anti-gravity racing and looked to be in a good mood.
Conan: “???”
His mind was full of question marks, but his reaction was as quick as ever. He jumped up and grabbed the passenger seat belt.
"Hideki Moroboshi" was no slower than him. He grabbed the hand that Jiang Xia extended with one hand and grabbed the back of the chair with the other hand. The two elementary school students got on the bus smoothly and squeezed into the same seat with difficulty.
The sports car slid along the top of the arc and hit the wall on the other side.
The tunnel was not too long, and the sports car quickly rushed out of the tunnel along with the train. Under Conan's anxious gaze, it landed heavily on the ground without any danger, bounced a few times, and then moved forward steadily.
Jiang Xia stopped walking along the track and quickly drove to the other side.
…
The three of them were speeding on the vast plain, and the out-of-control train clanged away from them. Conan was stunned in the passenger seat for a long time, and his heart was slowly filled with the intense joy of escaping death and escaping death with more than 40 people.
After a moment, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Jiang Xia: "Why can your car... fly on the wall?"
"The boss taught me." Jiang Xia looked back at the tunnel with lingering interest. "Although I'm still a little behind him, I've obviously gotten the hang of it."
Conan: “…”
...What the hell is that suspicious black boss always teaching?
However, this terrifying skill, which could result in a rollover and death at the slightest accident, actually came in handy.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the passenger seat, and looked around: "Let's find a safe place to stop first. I haven't heard the 'game completed' prompt yet. Maybe I have to stop to trigger it."
Jiang Xia fiddled with his goggles, hesitating to speak: "But the brakes of this car are broken, and I didn't complete a side quest just now, which caused the guys in the repair shop to tamper with the car. Once the speed drops below 100 kilometers per hour, it will suddenly explode..."
