A white Passat and a black GTO sped out of the ridge one after the other. The GTO looked more imposing, and its speed instantly increased to an arrogant level. The angry roar of the engine made it seem very domineering. It covered the 100-meter distance in just a few seconds, directly telling the onlookers with its rapidly spinning wheels that it was really fast!
What happened next made the still-shouting crowd seem a little strange. The white Passat overtook the seemingly arrogant GTO in the blink of an eye, and the sound of the engine made everyone feel that they had heard it somewhere before. The raised hands froze in place, and the cheers for the GTO were cut off as if someone had choked them.
"There's something wrong with this kid's car! A regular Passat shouldn't sound this muffled. Could this kid's car be modified too?" Zhang Shaolong wasn't stupid. Standing at the ridge, he could clearly see the entire Eighteen Bends by the moonlight. The headlights of the cars in front and behind gave Zhang Shaolong an ominous feeling. The thugs next to him excitedly got into their cars. Two Mitsubishi Paladins were parked far behind the two cars along the wild fields.
Li Jia hadn't felt this kind of speed in a long time. She glanced at the girl who was frantically fastening her seatbelt, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She floored the accelerator, and her hands moved smoothly, shifting gears and turning the steering wheel. Li Jia's dazzling movements made the girl next to her turn pale. Li Jia's speed was really too fast!
The GTO, which was three car lengths behind, seemed to be getting impatient. Xiao An, who was driving the GTO, was sweating profusely, staring intently at the Passat that was always in the lead, and his movements were exceptionally swift.
Soon the two cars reached the first turn. The girl sitting in Li Jia's car was already pale and gripped the handle on the side door tightly. Seeing that Li Jia showed no sign of slowing down, the girl couldn't help but close her eyes.
Drifting may seem simple in kart racing games, where you can perform a near-perfect drift by just pressing a few keys. However, to actually perform a perfect drift while sitting in a car, you need not only superb driving skills but also exceptional agility, reaction time, and physical fitness. All of these are indispensable. Of course, the most important thing is to have a car that works perfectly with you.
The ear-piercing screeching sound of the tail drifting made the girl, who had her eyes closed, unable to hold back any longer and scream loudly. Her shrill soprano voice pierced through the beautiful moonlit night and floated on the empty highway. Li Jia had anticipated the girl's reaction and still calmly drove his ultimate Passat at high speed.
The GTO driver behind, Xiao An, seemed to have a special fondness for drifting, and his beautiful tail-sliding drift was not much slower than Li Jia's.
Zhang Shaolong, who was far behind, was holding a walkie-talkie and staring at the GTO, which was still three and a half car lengths behind, with a gloomy face. His driver was also a guy who liked to race, but unfortunately, his skills and car were much worse than the two in front of him. However, his speed was still much faster than some ordinary people. In addition, he took most of the shortcuts and could barely see the taillights of Li Jia and Xiao An.
Halfway through the race, Zhang Shaolong, with a grim face, turned on the call button on his walkie-talkie and said, "Find an opportunity to make your move!" Then he turned off the walkie-talkie and threw it out of the car window.
After hearing Zhang Shaolong's voice in Xiao An's earpiece, the car suddenly accelerated, trying to catch up with Li Jia as soon as possible. A ruthless look flashed in his eyes, but unfortunately, the inconspicuous Passat was always about three car lengths ahead of him. Despite trying everything, Xiao An still couldn't catch up with Li Jia.
After seeing Xiao An's car accelerate in the rearview mirror, Li Jia didn't hesitate to step on the gas. The white Passat immediately picked up speed. She glanced at the speedometer next to the steering wheel: "190." It wasn't quite the speed she was aiming for, but it was still acceptable.
Looking at the Passat ahead, Xiao An suddenly hardened his heart and slammed the accelerator to the floor. "This car's top speed is 240 kilometers per hour, while my top speed is around 210, but that's on straight roads. On a sharp bend like this, I've never tried exceeding 210. Today, I'll take the plunge! I'll die whether I lose or crash! Let's gamble!" Many thoughts flashed through Xiao An's mind in a few seconds, but he ultimately remembered Zhang Shaolong's character. If he lost, he'd probably be badly injured, if not killed. There was no turning back; he had to fight to the death!
The car's speed increased to 200 kilometers per hour in two seconds. Xiao An's hands gripping the steering wheel were already sweating. The black GTO had clearly closed the gap with the Passat. However, before Xiao An could even show his smile, Li Jia's Passat suddenly accelerated again without hesitation, and the half-body length that had been caught up was once again pulled away by Li Jia!
There was one last big bend, followed by a straight stretch of about two kilometers. There were already people waiting for the cars at the finish line. Li Jia looked at the GTO in the rearview mirror, and the corners of her mouth slowly widened. Her hand gestures once again dazzled the girl sitting next to her.
In just three seconds, Li Jia unleashed the car's full speed! The speed of 240 kilometers per hour created a sudden backward throw inside the car, and the girl accompanying her suddenly felt a little suffocated. It took her a while to react. With a timeless drift, the Passat sped onto the straightaway. Then, Li Jia simply unleashed the car's potential, crossing the finish line at 270 kilometers per hour. Then, with a cocky abrupt stop, she turned the car around and stopped on the road not far from the finish line.
Those who had assumed Xiao An would be the first to reach the finish line stared wide-eyed at the white Passat parked not far away, their mouths agape in disbelief. Fifteen seconds later, Xiao An's car also reached the finish line. Xiao An got out of the car and slammed the door shut, looking at the tall, thin man smoking by his car not far away with an expression of frustration and resentment.
Five minutes later, Zhang Shaolong's car also arrived at the destination. Looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, he knew without a doubt that he had lost completely. After Li Jia opened the car door, the girl who had accompanied him walked to the side with trembling legs and vomited.
"Brother Long, right? Looks like I won. Does that mean we're done with this?" Li Jia smiled as she walked up to Zhang Shaolong, staring at the bald man who was much stronger than her.
