Liu Qing drove with complete concentration, like a startled groundhog, not daring to relax for a moment.
The other passengers were equally tense, as if someone told you that you might die within an hour, but didn't tell you the reason for your death. You were in a daze, waiting for the final death announcement.
Every time doubt arises, I get scared, then have a seizure, then calm down, and then wait for the next fatal moment of doubt to appear. What should have been a short hour, not even enough time to watch many videos, suddenly becomes incredibly long.
The seconds seemed to be artificially adjusted, making one second feel like two or three seconds, and all the details were magnified.
Water bottles in the carriage could suddenly jam the brakes, potentially killing everyone on board.
A hanging ornament in the carriage might suddenly break off and fall out, obstructing the driver's view. If that happens to be a dangerous section of road, and a small animal appears on the road, the driver might swerve and the vehicle could plunge into a bottomless abyss.
Every detail began to be magnified in everyone's eyes, and the lucky necklace Liu Qing wore seemed to have become a dangerous presence that others dared not breathe in.
Zhou Yifan was startled by his own unconscious wild imagination. How could he have imagined that the necklace might suddenly break off at the clasp, or get stuck in the seat cushion, and then struggle and eventually die?
Nevertheless, he still dared not make a sound, because the driver of the car seemed even more nervous.
There was a bend ahead, and the railing around the bend was rusty and about to collapse. Everyone in the car instinctively held their breath, and for a moment, the only sounds in the car were the wind and the sound of swallowing.
Liu Qing slowly turned the steering wheel, and it was only then that she realized there was something wrong with the car; the steering wheel seemed to have a problem, and the steering angle was very limited. She immediately slammed on the brakes.
The vehicle came to an instant stop. She felt sweat all over her body. No one else dared to make a sound. The wind blowing in through the open car window was gentle and warm with the sunshine, but the people inside the car felt like they were in a freezer at sub-zero temperatures.
"There's something wrong with this car."
After Liu Qing finished speaking, the people in the car were not surprised. On the contrary, they all felt a sense of relief. However, no one seemed to consider leaving the car behind and continuing on their way.
Everyone was in a state of mind. The "hidden danger" of the vehicle had finally been found, and they could even see the reason on the Grim Reaper's notice. All they had to do now was follow the notice and avoid it.
Therefore, instead of abandoning the vehicle, everyone chose to get out and push it.
After all, the problem has been identified, hasn't it? And the vehicle had just braked suddenly, so the brakes were working properly. They couldn't think of anything more dangerous than brake failure.
These people are incredibly reckless! This car is clearly faulty, and they still dare to ride in it?! It made my vision go black, then black again.
[This year's contestants are really too carefree. Even the contestants in Class B who could come up with problems like glass walkways are now so carefree, it's like they're from a completely different group!]
Is it possible that these people simply don't want to run anymore? (*￣rǒ￣)
【(⊙o⊙)…What you said doesn't make any sense, but then again, I hardly ever walk anymore. I'll take a shared bike if I can, and if I have nothing else, I really don't want to go out at all. Even going downstairs for dinner on the weekend feels tiring ┓( ′?` )┏。】
[Hehe, we're really kindred spirits! Every day after work, I go to the same restaurant, sit in the same spot, order my usual meal, and then buy an ice-cold Coke from the convenience store next door. When my usual place changed its menu last time, I really wanted to just turn around and leave. I always feel exhausted ordering takeout. Why are there so many choices? Why can't things be simpler?!]
[Um, upstairs, your life is so boring! What's the point of living like this every day?! It's so meaningless! A life that never changes is so tedious.]
【You don't understand, isn't it great to keep things the same? No need to think, so much easier. Everything's new and exciting, and just figuring out your favorite dish is troublesome enough. Like now, I only watch videos on Feiyang Video Platform; I don't even have to think, as long as the chef serves the food o(*￣︶￣*)o.】
Wow, that's impressive! I really want to applaud the person upstairs. What do you usually do? You must play the latest games, right?!
[Lately? Lately I've been playing "Cute Creatures in a Cup," but I play "The Secret of Penglai Island" a lot too. When I get into it, I'll play a few rounds.]
[I'm truly impressed. I call myself a "flying person," but compared to the person upstairs, I'm utterly humbled. I'm so ashamed. I need to go play a couple of rounds of "The Secret of Penglai Island" right now!]
What are you all talking about?! Isn't this saying that these people knew the car had problems and still dared to ride in it?! (Confused emoji.JPG)
[Actually, it's quite normal. This kind of thing is very common in real life. My colleague had a problem with the dashboard in his car, and he kept putting it off until he finally got it fixed. People are really good at procrastinating. They see the danger, they see the potential hazard, they know it in their hearts, but they subconsciously think they'll do it later, and then it just gets longer and longer. Isn't that what everyone thinks? Anyway, nothing's wrong this time.]
The comments section is truly astonishing. While it's true that there are delays, the setups in this show are absolutely crucial! How could they be so casual about this?!
【(*￣rǒ￣) No, you should all think back to past accidents. Weren't there hidden dangers that eventually exploded? It's because things are fine now, fine today, fine tomorrow, fine while I'm around. So when something happens, we'll just say, "Thank goodness it wasn't me."】
[On the surface: incredibly lucky to have escaped death; in reality: their ancestors must be kowtowing their heads in the underworld; the King of Hell: I even held you when you were a child.]
[Haha, I can't agree to the teacher retiring from the literary world.]
[Huh?! This car seems to be fine! We're almost at the finish line?!]
[Really?! Maybe it really is just a ruse; the car might actually be fine, maybe just a minor issue with the steering wheel.]
【Me?! I admit I spoke too soon, this car definitely has a problem!】
Liu Qing and the others quickly got out of the car and ran several hundred meters before they breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still shaken.
"Liu Qing is eliminated, Zhou Yifan is eliminated..."
Liu Qing turned to look at the staff member who came over with tools. How could she have been eliminated?! No?! Was there really a problem with the car?!
And what about the engine spontaneous combustion that the staff mentioned?! Why would such a small oil leak cause this problem? And why did it happen so suddenly, right before the finish line?!
