42: Fast and Furious (3) 42: Fast and Furious (3) Rain pattered against the car windows, blurring the darkness ahead into a formless mass.
Ye Qiu gently tapped his pinky on the steering wheel.
When he reached a turn, his wrist would slightly twitch, swiftly turning the wheel.
“A turn, a ter’s distance, he should be about thirty ters ahead of .”
Although he couldn’t see Huo Qian’s car, Ye Qiu was sure of everything, with everything under his control.
However, Shen ngchen was unaware of Ye Qiu’s thoughts.
What she saw was Huo Qian already far ahead, especially with the heavy rain shaking her confidence in Ye Qiu.
Huo Qian was far ahead, yet he did not let his guard down.
The sudden rain shower made him even more cautious.
Rainwater greatly increased the wetness of the ground, causing the tires to slip and making the difficulty of turning exponentially greater.
Luckily, he was leading, an advantage that significantly reduced the pressure of turning.
Twenty more bends to go, the key to victory lay in the last ten bends.
Huo Qian knew the race was about to reach its most intense stage.
“Bring out your drifting, or you won’t catch up,” Huo Qian glanced at his rearview mirror, still without a sign of Ye Qiu.
Huo Qian also understood that drifting in the rain was a completely different concept from drifting in clear weather, with the difficulty doubled, testing a driver’s familiarity with their car and their driving skills.
He was waiting, waiting for Ye Qiu to make a move.
He looked forward to Ye Qiu catching up; that would be the mont to really test their ttle against each other.
“Ladies and gentlen, though the rain is heavy, the two masters are still competing, and our car king has already outdistanced his opponent by more than thirty ters.
Unless sothing unexpected happens, the car king will continue to defend his throne,” said Xiao Weige.
People gathered together to take shelter from the rain, so ducking into their cars, others under big trees, but everywhere, Xiao Weige’s updates could be clearly heard.
“The car king will win!”
“It looks like the drifting master is going to be defeated.”
Many people felt good because the car king was ahead, far surpassing Ye Qiu.
With the heavy rain, it was difficult for Ye Qiu to catch up and even drifting involved significant risk.
Only a few people sighed, presumably because they were about to lose a few hundred bucks.
Although it wasn’t much, it was still money.
So even regretted not betting on the car king from the start, wondering why they gambled on such a long shot.
Fifteen bends left!
Five thousand ters of mountain road, and the two competitors had already covered most of it—the finish line getting closer.
Seemingly familiar with the track, Ye Qiu’s movents finally changed.
“Hold tight!”
Ye Qiu spoke to Shen ngchen, and right after, he pressed hard on the accelerator.
A loud roar of the engine blasted, and the car shot forward!
Shen ngchen didn’t even have ti to speak when she was slamd hard against the back of her seat.
The sudden acceleration was intense, and Shen ngchen felt sore all over.
She wanted to scream at Ye Qiu, but just as she was about to start yelling, she froze.
She saw a smirk on Ye Qiu’s lips, just as they approached a bend, with his arm moving like a shadow.
Imdiately after, Shen ngchen felt as if she was gliding.
They were drifting!
This visceral feeling overwheld Shen ngchen’s senses; she felt the car was not racing on a mountain road but swimming through water.
“This…” Shen ngchen was at a loss for words, her eyes tightly fixed on Ye Qiu’s distinctly defined face.
Especially the smile on Ye Qiu’s face, exuding confidence, calmness, and a seeming disregard for everything!
Shen ngchen stayed frozen, completely unaware that the car she was in was gliding on the mountain path.
More precisely, it was drifting smoothly over the water-drenched track.
Drifting!
Ye Qiu finally pulled out his trump card.
It had been a long ti since he had enjoyed a drive, and his eyes sparkled with a sudden burst of excitent after a long suppression.
Whoosh!
The whole car slid through the curve in a smooth arc, splashing droplets of water.
Anyone standing there would be amazed to find that, even in such harsh rainy conditions, Ye Qiu’s drifting exhibited a terrifying precision in grasping the roadside situations.
The distance between the car and the fence was just a finger’s breadth.
With just a slight bit more, the entire car could have crashed into the fence or even plunged off a cliff.
Such precise judgnt it was; the pressure on the accelerator and the angle of the steering had to be perfectly synchronized, otherwise, there was a great likelihood of an accident.
Corners!
Corners!
More corners!
Ye Qiu’s hands were like the feet of a mantis, quick and accurate, using just 0.01 seconds in a single movent.
Ever since there was a shift in his gaze, he exuded an aura of being as swift as a rabbit and as fierce as a tiger.
His movents were sharp and decisive, with no dragging!
Too fast!
Ye Qiu’s reaction ti reached inconceivable speeds, and in each corner, the car not only did not slow down, but its speed actually tripled abruptly!
The red Bugatti Veyron shot out a streak of red light in the night, fleeting past each mountain path like a startling beauty.
Heavy rain pattered down, even accompanied by the sound of thunder, but the roar of the revving engine was not drowned out by anything outside.
Seeing that there were only seven more corners left, Huo Qian could almost see the finish line, when suddenly a thunderous roar of a motorcycle burst into his ears.
Here it cos!
His heart skipped a beat, knowing that Ye Qiu was catching up.
He had been waiting for a long ti, thinking about deciding the victory against Ye Qiu in the final stretch.
Huo Qian showed an unprecedented seriousness, maintaining his composure even as a fierce tiger charged from behind.
His years of racing experience made him extrely calm, and deep inside, he was eagerly waiting to see if he could outdo Ye Qiu, who was utilizing drifting.
Swoosh, swoosh…
The red lightning zigzagged through every corner like the tongue of a chaleon, too fast for anyone to clearly see its movents as it attacked.
“The mysterious drifting master has made his move, his speed is too fast!” Xiao Wei Ge suddenly shouted, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
“What’s up?
Has he caught up with the car king?” soone asked.
“My friends, this race is too spectacular.
The mysterious master actually caught up after several turns; he’s amazing.” Xiao Wei Ge was admiring Ye Qiu’s speed.
Because he was watching the scene captured by the drone, his eyes were full of shock.
A thirty-ter gap, and this person actually used high-speed drifting on the turns to massively increase the car’s speed.
An absolute racing master!
And also a master of stunning judgnt.
What most impressed Xiao Wei Ge was the ease of the mysterious master’s drifting, even with the cliffside right there, he remained as calm as a mountain, letting the car’s speed do the talking.
He caught up!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiu’s red Bugatti Veyron appeared right behind Huo Qian, the distance less than three ters.
Only four more corners left, the most intense mont had arrived.
“Too exciting,” Xiao Wei Ge’s voice rang out again, “This is a feast of the racing world, my friends.
I truly want to sit in the cars of these two racing masters to experience it firsthand.
This is a collision of speed and passion.
Those who want to see the latest updates can stand still; our big screen setup has arrived.
Although it arrived late, fortunately, we can all witness this most thrilling mont.”
“Let’s wait and see, who will be tonight’s king of racing!”
