Chapter 10: High-Speed Terror
I gripped the steering wheel tightly and pressed the brake, but the car slid forward for several dozen meters before coming to a stop. When I turned around, I saw Shen Bing staring at me with a pale face, her eyes filled with fear, unable to utter a word. It turned out she had already woken up and witnessed this heart-stopping scene.
Girls generally like these kinds of snacks. Shen Bing held these items as she got into the car, her eyes sparkling with joy, the grievances from earlier completely forgotten. After saying goodbye to her mother, Shen Bing asked me to drive. I said that in the army, I was only half-skilled, and if I wasn't afraid of driving into a ditch, then I could take the wheel. She replied that she wasn't worried since she was in the back seat, which significantly increased the safety factor compared to me. What kind of logic is this? Isn't it just that she's so tempted by the snacks that she's willing to risk her life for a bite?
However, I maintained a speed of around 100. Just now, when I briefly closed my eyes, it was only for a few seconds. My right foot on the accelerator kept the inertia steady, without increasing or decreasing the pressure. In this critical moment, there was no time to think about what to do. I gritted my teeth and quickly pressed the accelerator to the floor. The car shot forward like an arrow, and when the billboard hit the ground with a loud crash, the off-road vehicle just barely passed by, grazing the rear of my car, causing it to shake slightly from the impact.

"Vulgar! You country bumpkin!" Shen Bing shouted with a frown
What made me change my mind temporarily was seeing the woman in that car. She was certainly not an ordinary person; in broad daylight, she could still give me goosebumps, something even a ghost couldn't achieve. I suspected she was also a living corpse, of a slightly higher caliber than the one I encountered last night, with no marks on her forehead. I couldn't help but wonder who had such great skill to cultivate two living corpses at once, especially this one in the car, who belonged to a higher level; this practitioner must be a master!
Arrive at the highway entrance to meet the police car transporting the body, and together drive onto the highway
I can't believe it, she's fine after all this, isn't the art of nurturing the dead too powerful? I stood my ground, unwavering, and locked eyes with her for a few seconds, thinking that if she was fine, I wouldn't have another chance if I approached her, I would deal with her later. I turned around and returned to the car, driving away.
Shen Bing, proudly cracking sunflower seeds and chestnuts, said, "Is there a special forces soldier who can't drive? Don't try to fool me. Uh, this theory does hold some validity.
"Isn't this just a matter of not being able to come out?" I said with a smile
I actually dozed off a few times, feeling drowsy and hazy. This would have never happened when I was in the army; even after three days and nights without sleep, I would not have experienced such a situation. However, after three years of returning to civilian life and not exercising much, my willpower is not as strong as it used to be.
The Audi suddenly shook a few times, and the right door flew off with a "crack," as a bloodied woman crawled out from inside, leaning against the door and coldly staring at me
Upon returning home, I packed all the items I could grab into a bag and then told my mother that I would be out for a few days and not to worry, as I would be back soon. My mother looked at Shen Bing, who was standing aside, and then quietly asked me who this pretty young lady was. I deliberately said loudly that she was my new girlfriend.
The provincial capital is approximately over 300 kilometers away from here. This high-end SUV can maintain a speed of 140 miles per hour without swaying, and it can generally reach the provincial capital in just over two hours. However, since I haven't driven in three years, I lack the confidence and have not dared to exceed a speed of 100 miles per hour.
In the reflection of the mirror, that black Audi car persistently followed closely behind www.hetushu.com, with the driver and the woman in the passenger seat barely visible. The only effective method to deal with the living dead is to point at her forehead and chest from a close distance, so I brought many talismans and Taoist artifacts, which I did not affix to the outside of the car, as it would be ineffective. I was just waiting for her to act, ready to confront whatever came my way.
I reached out and patted her shoulder to offer some comfort, then opened the car door and got out. I discovered that more than ten cars had collided in a chain reaction, with the one at the front, which had crashed into a billboard pole, being the most severely damaged, resembling a crumpled accordion, and could only be described as a sight too horrific to behold. Turning my gaze to the roadside, I saw the black Audi that had been following us veer off the road, crushed under the pole, reduced to a pile of scrap metal. Due to the distance, I could not see the condition of the people inside the car.
Suddenly, I saw a billboard over five meters high crash down, heading straight for the roof of our car. The massive sign, along with its thick support columns, would surely crush both the people and the vehicle if it struck. In that brief moment, I calculated that the chance of avoiding it was very slim, as the speed at which it fell was incredibly fast, almost as if it had been precisely calculated to align with the speed of my car, allowing us to just barely slip under the collapsing sign.
Mother was extremely happy and did not ask us where we were going. She took out the peanuts, sunflower seeds, and chestnuts that she had personally fried, allowing us to eat them on the way
In the subjects of special forces training, one must master everything from motorcycles to tanks. For me, driving is as easy as a light drizzle for a southerner. The reason I don't want to drive is that I didn't sleep at all last night and want to catch up on some sleep. However, this little glutton has disrupted my plans, and I can only blame my mother for sending her so much food. But thinking back to earlier, when I forced her to admit in front of my mother that she is my girlfriend, it does feel somewhat satisfying.
At this moment, Shen Bing's complexion had mostly returned to normal. Tilting her head, she questioned me, "After such a major incident occurred behind us, how can you still have the mood to stop by the roadside?"
Once on the highway, Shen Bing fell soundly asleep in the back seat. Although she had been unconscious for less than two hours during the night, it hardly counted as rest. The bumps of the car only intensified my drowsiness, leaving me alone on watch. It is very easy to feel sleepy on the highway; the road is flat and straight, with little to be vigilant about. Shen Bing's rhythmic breathing in deep sleep further exacerbated my fatigue.
As the car drove out of the county, I looked back through the rear window and saw that Audi and the book delivery vehicle. My memory is quite good; I wouldn't mistake it. They were tailing us, and it seems that if I weren't in this car, Shen Bing would surely be in trouble. I instructed Shen Bing to turn back to Shangcheng Town. This journey would undoubtedly be fraught with danger, and I hadn't brought anything with me, which would be tantamount to seeking my own demise
Shen Bing immediately twisted her mouth in anger, glaring at me like a menacing lioness. I returned her glare, implying that if she was still unconvinced, I would no longer care about her. To say she was big-chested but not smart would be misleading; at times, she was quite clever. She understood my gaze and immediately wilted, adopting a look of grievance, pouting and saying, "I suppose so."
The loud bang of "ka la" jolted me awake, and I must commend myself for this. Although I couldn't resist the drowsiness, I woke up particularly quickly, and after waking, I was not disoriented; I was able to maintain a calm mind. This is a proud tradition that I retained from my time in the military
This situation is quite clear; the living dead are afraid to act decisively against me in the car, so they devised a sinister plan to crash into a roadside billboard to kill us. I thought to take this opportunity to eliminate her, thus sparing myself the anxiety of being on guard against her throughout the journey. As I unfastened my belt and walked towards the roadside, I bit my finger.
