Chapter 003: Crazy Taxi

Accompanied by the warnings broadcasted from the police car's loudspeaker, the audience and the race car drivers began to understand that this was a vehicle fleeing from the police.

Perhaps feeling tired of the towering skyscrapers in the city, the yellow taxi suddenly made a sharp U-turn and sped towards the outskirts. The pursuing police cars were initially thrown off balance, but upon realizing the direction in which the taxi was fleeing, the officers breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Damn it, it's time to show him our strength!"

Almost half an hour had passed, and this yellow taxi had taken a winding route to approach the racetrack venue in the southwestern suburbs where the competition was being held. "Wow!"

Drivers of yellow taxis, please exit the vehicle with your hands on your head and submit to a police inspection

Although the police responsible for pursuing the Haoyao taxi would never believe the conclusions of these so-called experts, they had no other reasonable evidence to explain the taxi's erratic behavior. Shortly thereafter, the Haoyao taxi made headlines, prompting many renowned automotive manufacturers to go to great lengths to obtain the taxi's autonomous driving system. However, these companies soon abandoned this idea, as the Haoyao taxi was classified by the police as "extremely hazardous to public safety" and was subsequently "safeguarded" at a secret research facility of the police in Desha City.

Wow

The taxi was originally equipped with an alarm system designed to alert the driver during dangerous driving situations. However, the female computer-generated voice had just uttered a couple of phrases when, accompanied by two crackling sounds, it suddenly fell silent for no apparent reason. No one knew how Xiao Haoyi operated this hovering vehicle and maintained his balance during high-speed maneuvers. At that moment, various electrical switches and circuits in the cockpit were sparking and emitting blue and white electrical flashes, while the air was filled with tiny, twisted blue currents flickering around, creating an extremely bizarre scene surrounding Xiao Haoyi. Perhaps this was the best explanation.

As the police cautiously surrounded the vehicle and forcibly opened the taxi door, their minds became entangled once again. Inside the taxi, Xiao Haoyi had somehow returned to the front passenger seat, and remarkably, the seatbelt that had been unfastened by Haoyao was once again secured around him.

The police chief almost shouted the order

To the southwest of the city of DeSa, there exists a vast three-dimensional racing venue. Although, with the advancement of technology, humanity's anti-gravity hover bikes can almost fly freely in the sky like fighter jets, the human penchant for adventurous and thrilling games has ensured the continuation of fiercely competitive and highly challenging races. However, certain modifications and adjustments have been made to the racetrack and the rules of the competitions to satisfy the audience's craving for excitement. The human inclination for adventurous and thrilling games has led to the preservation of various fiercely competitive and highly challenging races, with modifications and adjustments made to the racetrack and competition rules to meet the audience's desire for excitement.

This, this, this...

This is the infamous "Crazy Taxi" incident in the history of the Federation

In an instant, the only sounds remaining in the entire racing venue were the roaring engines of the cars, and the expressions of all the spectators froze in that moment

At this moment, the competition in the venue was entering the most critical sprint phase, with each racer doing their utmost to overtake all opponents in the final lap. However, a sudden appearance of a yellow figure in mid-air caused the previously deafening and frenzied cheers of the audience to abruptly freeze and become silent. Nearly 100,000 spectators stared in astonishment at the yellow figure as it crashed onto the dedicated racetrack, colliding with a rubber barrier. Although some sharp-eyed viewers recognized it as just an ordinary taxi, who could possibly understand what this taxi, which had suddenly descended from the sky, intended to do

A clear, crisp sound echoed as the computer-generated voice at the finish line announced with intonation: "The champion vehicle of this race is fx02391 motorcycle"

If someone were to witness the scene inside the yellow taxi at that moment, I assure you they would undoubtedly suffer a stroke and faint. Little Haoyi, who has just turned one year old, is currently wearing only a freshly changed diaper, standing barefoot on the motorcycle control panel. His tiny hands are tightly gripping the motorcycle's handlebars, and his big eyes are wide open, nervously staring at the road ahead. His little mouth is slightly open, occasionally letting out excited cries of "wow, wow." In order to press the control buttons on the panel, his little feet are constantly moving back and forth, and with his wiggling little bottom, he looks as if he is dancing in the most adorable way. His big eyes are fixed on the road ahead, and his little mouth is half-open, occasionally making excited sounds of "wow, wow." As he presses the control buttons, his little feet keep moving back and forth, and with his wiggling little bottom, he is simply irresistibly cute.

Unlike the intense competition here, a fierce motorcycle chase is also unfolding in the city of Dersa, rivaling the intensity of this match. The one being pursued is, of course, our protagonist, Xiao Haoyi, along with his father's aging antique taxi. Not far behind this yellow old-fashioned taxi, there are four to five dozen police cars of various models, and from time to time, police cars suddenly emerge from the roadside, attempting to intercept the yellow taxi. As a result, those police cars that suddenly appeared either missed their target entirely or, after a cacophony of crashes and sparks, collided with their teammates' motorcycles, turning them into heaps of scrap metal. The expressions of the police officers behind turned ashen, and they gritted their teeth, wishing they could pull out an anti-tank cannon to blast that damned taxi.

Ding-dong

In the next moment, the taxi suddenly lifted its front end and dove into the racetrack arena in a perfect arc.

Subsequently, Hao Yao, the father of Hao Yi, who arrived later, was naturally taken back to the police station by the officers. For the safety of young Hao Yi, Hao Yao certainly would not disclose the fact that his son possesses superpowers. Even if he were to reveal it, it is likely that no one would believe him. After bringing the extraordinary taxi back to the police station for disassembly and analysis, the so-called experts reached a conclusion: "The fx02391 taxi's autonomous driving system suddenly suffered a virus attack, which caused its erratic behavior"

Wow, is this for real? What is this thing!

In the next moment, a fleet of police cars rushed into the venue with sirens blaring, surrounding the yellow taxi along with the group of race cars.

Clearly, the scanning device at the finish line mistook that taxi for a racing car and accurately reported the taxi's license plate number

As a massive circular building appeared ahead, the taxi, with its little rear end dancing, caught the attention of the excited Xiao Haoyi, who let out a strange cry of delight

Attention, vehicle with license plate fx02391, you have violated Article n of the traffic laws of this planet. Please pull over to undergo a police inspection, otherwise the police will take all necessary measures

It seemed that the racing cars, which were wildly circling and chasing each other, caught Xiao Haoyi's attention. After a brief pause, the taxi's engine roared back to life and, like a wild hare that had broken free, it dashed out along the dedicated racing track.

The race car drivers, who were left far behind by the taxi, after a brief moment of confusion, began to hurl various curses at the suddenly disruptive taxi. Clearly, these professional racers found it hard to accept that they had been overtaken by an unexpectedly appearing old model taxi.

Originally, some police cars were equipped with a type of miniature missile specifically designed to disable the engines of suspicious fleeing vehicles. However, due to the taxi's erratic movements in the bustling city traffic, the officers were hesitant to use them for fear of harming innocent civilians. As the taxi sped towards the outskirts of the city, the police felt free to deploy these high-tech devices without concern.

The siren on the police car blared a harsh warning. However, the yellow taxi seemed to completely ignore the officers' warnings, continuing to maneuver recklessly through the terrain, leaving the pursuing police cars in a state of confusion.

It seemed that the driver realized he had been locked onto by the radar of the police car behind. Suddenly, the exhaust pipe of the taxi emitted a peculiar white smoke, and then its speed abruptly increased, instantly escaping the effective range of the miniature missile. This infuriated the police chief even more, causing him to erupt in rage

Inside the leading police car, a police officer with the rank of superintendent, his eyes red and teeth clenched, cursed angrily. This "police and bandit" chase had been unfolding in the city for nearly half an hour, with the police deploying over a hundred vehicles, yet they were still unable to stop the crazed taxi. It was evident that this superintendent had endured a fair amount of scolding from his superior.

Command 029 and 037, prepare to use the myt91 micro-missile. Once within effective range, immediately order that damn taxi to stop for me

In this dedicated venue for three-dimensional racing, the X1 Formula Racing Planet Championship is held annually during the summer. The prize money amounts to a staggering 10 million Federal Coins, and the teams and vehicles are supported by the renowned hoverbike manufacturers in Edel. Major media outlets across the planet provide live coverage of the event, making the competition quite spectacular. Today, the final race of this season is taking place here.

The two leading race cars were less than fifty meters from the finish line when, at that moment, the miraculous taxi suddenly tilted its body sideways and managed to slip through the narrow gap between the two race cars that were almost racing side by side.

In just a matter of seconds, the taxi maneuvered through a multitude of obstacles with an extraordinarily peculiar technique, catching up to the last few racing cars. In the next moment, the taxi's exhaust pipe emitted a magical white smoke once again, and then, no one could see how it surged out from the already tightly packed cluster of racing cars, directly pursuing the two leading cars that were racing the fastest.

The police officer who opened the car door first gazed at the empty driver's seat and the one-year-old baby looking at him with clear and innocent eyes, his pupils dilating as he stammered incoherently. In the aftermath, for a long time, this officer's mind fell into chaos, and he could only repeat one phrase to anyone he encountered: "This is unbelievable, truly unbelievable"

At this moment, the venue was packed with a sea of people, and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience spread far and wide. In the center of the venue was a specially designed three-dimensional track, featuring various obstacles, with a restriction that the height of the hover racing cars' flight path could not exceed 10 meters. The top drivers from each team were fiercely competing on the track.

The anticipated cheers from the audience did not materialize for a long time, and everyone simultaneously rose from their seats, staring in astonishment at the yellow taxi that had come to a stop at the finish line, surrounded by a group of racing cars
