If Li Yao had not braked and swerved in time, the heavy off-road vehicle would definitely have crashed into the roof of Li Yao's car. Both vehicles might have been reduced to burning scrap metal.
But right now, the iron beast that came out of nowhere crashed right in front of Li Yao at a distance of only a few centimeters. After a boom, it turned into an exploding fireball.
Li Yao's eyes seemed to have been set ablaze by the fireball. His hands and feet cramped as he operated the car. The engine, brake pads, and tires screamed one after another. The off-road vehicle spun at high speed like a top, knocking away the fireball in front of it and returning to its normal direction and speed.
"Ugh!"
Daniel Zhang's face turned pale again, and he looked like he was about to vomit out his heart.
But the fire in Li Yao's eyes did not extinguish, because in the rearview mirror, dozens of fast cars appeared on the viaduct one after another. They looked like dozens of steel beasts!
Some of the cars rushed straight at them from behind, and some of the cars launched a "dive" from above like the off-road vehicle just now.
The road was slippery in the rain, and the lights were dim. The viaduct's visibility was extremely low, and the road conditions were extremely bad. Most of the drivers did not have driving skills like Li Yao's. Often, their tires would skid and they would lose control, plunging into the darkness below the viaduct. In no time, they would turn into rising fireballs. But there were still dozens of cars that firmly followed Li Yao. They were getting closer and closer, and they even tried to ram into Li Yao's off-road vehicle from the back and flank.
Bang! Bang!
In the storm, such a collision was tantamount to suicide. It was a crazy tactic to destroy everything.
Even though Li Yao had awakened his superb driving skills, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat when he was surrounded by this group of crazy drivers.
At this moment, a two-seater sports car was driving side by side with him. Li Yao looked through the window and saw that the driver was a middle-aged man in bright clothes. His hair was not messy at all, and he even wore gold-rimmed glasses. No matter how he looked at him, he did not look like a member of the daredevil team.
However, when Li Yao saw the man's dazed eyes and the Bluetooth earpiece in his ear, he immediately understood.
It turned out that these pursuers were still puppets under the control of others. They had long since lost their rationality, so they were like mad demons, unafraid of death.
"Creak creak creak!"
The tires of the two-seater sports car screeched. Despite its weight and size being smaller than a human, it still rammed into Li Yao's off-road vehicle. Li Yao could not avoid it. The two cars scraped against each other, creating sparks. In the end, the two-seater sports car was no match for the multi-purpose off-road vehicle. It was knocked away by Li Yao and flipped to the ground below the guardrail, falling ten to twenty meters.
However, as a result, Li Yao's speed was inevitably slowed down, and he was about to be caught up by the remaining ten or so cars.
"Something's not right!"
Daniel Zhang exclaimed, "There's no end to this stretch of Duga!"
Li Yao was slightly taken aback. He narrowed his eyes and looked around carefully.
In fact, the lighting system on the viaduct had long been destroyed by the storm, lightning, and thunder. They could not see anything except for the high beams that could illuminate dozens of meters in front of them through the rain.
They were surrounded by darkness in all directions. The viaduct stretched straight in the darkness, leading to the unknown. At other times, it twisted and turned. It was like a twisted knot with countless forks and ramps. It was an endless loop of a maze.
At this moment, a road sign flashed over their heads. A bolt of lightning struck, allowing them to clearly see the content of the road sign.
This was the intersection of 'People's Road' and 'Ocean Tide Road'.
The problem was that People's Road and Ocean Tide Road were not far from the Central Business District. They could reach it in three to five minutes at most. However, they had been driving on Duga for at least twenty to thirty minutes in the storm. They should have traveled dozens of miles by now.
How could they have returned to the vicinity of the Central Business District?
Li Yao's mouth twitched. Daniel Zhang swallowed. Both of them thought of two words at the same time. "Ghost Going Around the Wall!"
"Do you know how to drive?"
Li Yao suddenly asked.
"Huh?"
Daniel Zhang was shocked. He stammered, "I-I do have a driver's license, but I haven't touched a car for years. I-I don't have a car myself. I'm a 'native' …"
"You drive!"
Li Yao said firmly. "If this section of the road is really an endless loop of ghost going around the wall, then after we pass the intersection of People's Road and Ocean Tide Road, there should be a few kilometers of straight road ahead. You can slow down a little. It's very simple!"
"What? I-I don't know how to drive. I can't!"
Daniel Zhang was at a loss. "I haven't touched a real steering wheel for a long time. I'm not an experienced driver in this area!"
However, Li Yao had already unbuckled his seatbelt and dragged Daniel Zhang over.
The multifunctional SUV immediately swerved and slithered on the viaduct. It scraped the guardrail on the side several times, causing sparks to fly.
"Ah!"
Daniel Zhang screamed.
"Steady! Relax! Drive slower!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth and pulled Daniel Zhang's ear.
"I'm steadying!"
Zhang Da Niu was on the verge of tears. "This thing is too exciting!"
"Very good. You're driving very well. You don't look like a typical 'native'. That's right. That's right."
Li Yao had originally wanted to give it a try, but he did not expect Daniel Zhang to get into character within half a minute after the initial panic. Although he could not say that he was driving very well or fast, it was already very good that he could maintain the normal speed and stability of the car on his first try in this terrible weather and in this terrible place.
But this way, the pursuer's car was less than twenty to thirty meters away from them. It was a matter of stepping on the accelerator.
Li Yao took a deep breath and kicked the rear window. He then crawled out like a loach that had grown wings.
His fingers and toes turned into steel-like hooks that clung tightly to the roof of the car. No matter how much wind, rain, and lightning raged, they could not shake him off.
"Slow down! Go slower!"
Li Yao shouted into the car. The distance between the two cars was getting closer and closer.
When the pursuer tried to hit Li Yao's SUV again, Li Yao swung his arm in an arc and shot out the iron nails!
"Chi!"
The iron nails hit the front wheel of the pursuer's car. At such a high speed, although it was not like the movies where the car spun dozens of times in the air and turned into a big fireball when it landed, it was enough to make the car lose control and crash into the side of the road. The front of the car and the engine were smashed into a mess and could no longer be started.
Seeing that his plan had worked, Li Yao followed suit and shot out the iron nails from his waist one by one, aiming specifically at the enemy's tires.
With his eyesight and strength, even with the interference of the rain and lightning, it was easy to shoot out the pursuer's tires. However, he did not want to cause fatal damage to the puppet in the car, so he repeatedly calculated and aimed carefully. He also asked Daniel Zhang to slow down the car. As expected, the dozen or so cars either crashed into the guardrail or lost control of their brakes. There was no more tragedy of falling off the overpass or exploding in the air.
Soon, the dozen or so pursuers' cars all stopped.
Li Yao wiped the hot rainwater off his face. He thought that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and think about how to escape from the unpredictable "Ghost Hits Wall".
"Li Yao! Li Yao! "
But at this time, Daniel Zhang screamed in the car.
Li Yao's heart skipped a beat. When he looked back, he vaguely saw two hazy lights in the darkness ahead of them.
Soon, the lights outlined an even darker silhouette in the darkness. It was a twenty-four-wheeled container truck!
God knows where the other party got such a behemoth. This kind of container truck was usually not allowed to enter the city. But now, it was roaring on the overpass like an angry steel beast, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it charged straight at Li Yao's off-road vehicle.
No, it was not as simple as a container truck.
Just like Li Yao was clinging to the roof of the SUV, there was a man standing on the front of the container truck, too. It was a middle-aged man who was wearing a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses in the middle of the storm, looking like a "government employee" in the movies.
He seemed to have noticed that Li Yao was observing him. He even bowed slightly as if he was greeting Li Yao.
"Hunter!"
Daniel Zhang screamed in the driver's seat, "He is the Hunter!"
Li Yao's heart sank.
In such a heavy storm, he had to lie on the roof of the car, using one hand and two feet to barely stabilize his body. The Hunter, on the other hand, stood casually and easily on the roof of his car. No matter how bumpy and shaky the car was, his body remained motionless.
With this ability to control his body, he was vaguely superior to Li Yao at this moment. No wonder he dared to set a trap in the face of the Ark Foundation's "ten Deep Explorers and two End Explorers".
Looking at the driver's seat of the truck, there was a fat and unshaven driver. He did not look like an Awakened. His ears were wrapped with earphones. Then, it was very obvious. One of the Hunter's abilities was to invade the brain of others through radio waves and turn them into his puppets. At the same time, he activated part of the memories of his previous life deep in the brain of others to obtain terrifying killing skills!
But would this be the only ability of the Hunter?
While Li Yao was pondering, the distance between the two vehicles was getting closer and closer.
Li Yao could clearly see the Hunter's increasingly mysterious smile. He also saw the Hunter gently flicking his fingers. The driver in the driver's seat immediately seemed to have received a mysterious order. He pulled the steering wheel hard and made a ninety-degree turn.
In such a heavy storm, such a slippery road, and such a heavy container truck, it was impossible to make such a sharp ninety-degree turn. Sure enough, the truck immediately rolled over. Under the action of inertia, the entire carriage turned sideways, almost blocking the entire lane.
The friction between the carriage and the ground made ear-piercing noises and burst out dazzling sparks. Like a steel grinder that crushed everything, it swept towards Li Yao's off-road vehicle.
