Chapter 49 - Chapter Forty-Nine: Survival with a Broken Tail

I stepped on the accelerator crazily, and the shadow of death completely enveloped me.

The true power of this type of weapon of mass destruction is not child's play.

As long as it hits, there is no chance of us in the car surviving!

The speed of the car soared to over Mach 160 in just a few seconds. Xiao Leng tightened his grip on the handle in the passenger seat, his face turned pale.

'Bang--'

There was an explosion, and a huge heat wave drew an arc in the air.

In the rearview mirror, I clearly saw the grenade shooting out of the barrel and falling rapidly towards the rear of the car.

The accelerator has been stepped on to death!

In the ruins, the car body was shaking.

'boom! ! '

The explosion sounded, the heat wave spread from the window, and the square inch of land behind him had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

If we were any slower, the entire car would be blown away by the energy of the explosion!

And now the problem I have to face is the speed that cannot be reduced!

There is a sharp curve ahead.

Turning the steering wheel again, Xiao Leng was in the passenger seat, and his center of gravity had completely tilted towards me.

"ah!!"

Xiao Leng exclaimed, and half of the steel bars protruding from the ruins directly cut through the car window glass.

The car body vibrated, and the impact almost made me fly off my seat.

I held the steering wheel firmly to prevent the car from losing control. Fortunately, the steel bars did not cause much damage to the car.

But there was a terrifying crack left on the car window next to Xiao Leng.

This resistance actually caused the car's speed to drop quite a bit.

My heart was beating very fast, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Everything just happened in a flash of lightning.

There was no movement of anyone chasing behind him.

We, narrowly escaped death...

The movement just now was so loud that it almost woke up the entire area.

A low roar reached everyone's ears through the broken car windows.

Jiang Xiaoman and Xiao Leng's faces were pale, and no one in the car spoke.

I tried to stay as far away from this area as possible, and further away, they wouldn't be able to trace our whereabouts.

But the more I drove, the more I realized something was not right.

There are two wide indentations on the road ahead of us.

Like traces of tracks.

Before I could think about it, the fork in the road ahead was shrouded in shadow.

As we passed by, a tank was slowly approaching from the fork in the road.

My heart suddenly tightened. These people were wearing the same uniforms as those soldiers!

Xiao Leng almost screamed and immediately covered her mouth.

"bogey!" (suspected target)

A cry rang out, and the muzzles of several black holes were instantly aimed at us!

The huge tank also slowly turned its perspective.

Fortunately, we were just passing through this fork in the road, and the road ahead was wide, so I just stepped on the accelerator!

Heavy gunshots rang out from behind, and my attention was focused to the extreme.

Now I roughly know that the soldiers who appeared at the supermarket were not an accident, but that this area was already occupied by them.

The range of fire cannot reach us.

But what really worries me is that this area is not far from our air raid shelter. The straight-line distance is probably only two or three kilometers.

They could easily track it down if they drove directly back to base.

We had been out searching for supplies for several days, and we didn't even notice when they gathered here.

My mind was racing. At the next intersection, I turned into an alley and headed in the opposite direction to the air raid shelter.

"Brother...are you going the wrong way?"

Xiao Leng asked me with a trembling voice, looking at the end of the alley.

"We can't have this car anymore." I said in a deep voice, stepped on the accelerator, and the van accelerated out of the alley.

"We're going to walk back in a while, so we can take some things with us."

I looked ahead. As long as I drove across the river bridge, I was heading towards the third ring road in the city.

There was a sound of brakes and I parked the van at the exit of the bridge.

"Get off the car!" I turned towards Xiao Leng.

Xiao Leng didn't hesitate and pushed the door open directly.

"Take a few bags of daily necessities, throw other things in the car, and take away the bags."

Li Xiang heard what I said, picked out two bags of daily necessities from the back seat and threw them away.

All the supplies contained in other bags were poured out.

After more than a dozen bags were folded and put away, Li Xiang and Jiang Xiaoman opened the back door and got out of the car.

But I made no move to get out of the car.

"elder brother?!"

Xiao Leng yelled in surprise below, "What do you want to do?"

"Stay away from me."

I responded, shifting into reverse gear and starting to back up.

The rear of the car hit the bridge across the river again, and several people outside the car window looked puzzled.

In the rearview mirror, I saw Xiao Leng looking worried.

How easy is it to get rid of an army? You have to fool them!

I can only pray that they are passing by and don't waste their energy trying to track it down.

But these things have to be done, and I don't want to leave any hidden dangers.

If the base's location were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

After backing up for more than a hundred meters, I stopped the car.

I put the car into gear again, and through the windshield covered with cobweb cracks, I looked at half of the tree roots at the edge of the bridge.

The roots of the tree are half a person's height and grow extremely thick. Next to the tree roots is a sloping hillside with bushes growing in the mud.

And all I have to do is hit it!

Fake the accident by crashing the car into a tree root.

This is my plan, to forge some walking traces in the bushes. Even if someone finds this place, they will not think of the air-raid shelter in the opposite direction.

Xiao Leng and the others looked at me from a distance.

I waved at them, signaling them to move further away.

In silence, I took out a cigarette.

The hand that lit the cigarette was trembling, and the flame danced as he lit the cigarette.

The tobacco burned, the smoke was inhaled deep into my lungs, and the nicotine made me feel a little more calm.

I put the cigarette butt in my mouth and stepped on the accelerator again.

There was a dull roar beneath him.

This time, the roar of the engine seemed tragic.

It may understand that this is its last moment of glory.

The clutch is released and the car speeds like an arrow leaving its string...

Amidst the screams, the front of the car hit the root of the tree.

'Bang! ! ! '

The huge impact caused me to fall directly onto the steering wheel, the car body shifted, and it actually rolled over at the moment of collision!

This violent collision made me dizzy and tinnitus.

At a distance of more than 100 meters, I controlled the speed of Mach 40.

I thought it wouldn't be too serious, but the fact was that the impact almost made me faint.

"elder brother!!"

Xiao Leng's screams gradually became clearer amid the tinnitus.

There was a cry in her tone.

The sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer.

When they opened the door, I fell into the overturned car, and a stream of heat surged from my forehead...

Xiao Leng was the first to climb onto the roof of the car, and stretched out his arms towards me from outside the open door.

"Can you still move? Are you injured somewhere??"

I looked up and saw her anxious face.

"I'm not hurt."

I responded and fumbled to pick up the fallen cigarette butts from my body.

The cigarette was still burning and I took another deep breath.

"Cough...cough cough..."

He sucked so hard that I choked and coughed, "Pull me out!"
