Chapter 91: Don’t Be Afraid
The camera zoomed back to one second ago.
The two extremely similar 911s were slowing down while approaching the corner.
Chen Yuhang’s RS had a better performance and was leading by one car’s length to have already reached the outer track. This allowed him to obtain the best angle when entering the corner.
The laggard always had to play a passive role, so Huang Xu was left with only two choices…
He could either follow behind the RS, give up overtaking the car, and find another opportunity at the next corner.
Or he could take the risk and enter the corner ahead of time, giving full play to the advantage of his beloved car in being lighter and more agile when turning corners.
Today was a very despairing day for Huang Xu. Everything was not going well for him.
He did not know whether it was because Lin Weiwei was in the car, or because he had a grudge against Chen Yuhang, or that he was feeling extremely fed up with Wang Yan. It was even possible that the effect of the two glasses of dry wine that he had drunk earlier had still not completely worn off..
In short, without consideration of what consequences there would be, Huang Xu acted upon impulse at that moment when he should have made his decision. He turned ahead of time and prepared to snag the corner.
Actually, this was not a very wrong choice to make.
The instructions pertaining to the use of race track indicated that the speed limit of taking this bend was 55km/h. The dial plate of Huang Xu’s car indicated that his current speed was 54km/h, and he applied the brake slightly when approaching the corner and slowed down to around 48km/h. The average speed of this entire stretch was only around 50km/h, and there was still plenty of space.
Uh… it was ample space only for an expert.
Huang Xu was not particularly confident that he could pull off the entire course of this advanced technique of turning a corner at high speed. The probability of his vehicle being thrown off the track was as high as 50%, and his success rate was once every two times.
So, it was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision.
If it had been some other opponent, upon seeing how Huang Xu was aggressive Huang Xu was in the race, there was a very high chance that they would give in to him. After all, his RS was a high performance car, so it did not really matter at all even if it were to suffer a slight loss.
However, the one driving the RS was Chen Yuhang. With this guy’s hot-tempered and reckless character, he simply did not know what fear was.
Therefore, when the two cars were turning the corner, they were only 80 centimeters apart from each other.
At this moment, an unexpected accident happened… a naughty kid threw a flattened can onto the race track from outside the field.
Then, a bang was heard. Huang Xu’s GT3 collided with Chen Yuhang’s RS. The two Porsches’ millisecond-response airbags instantly popped out, and both of them lost control of their vehicles at the same time.
Then, the GTR behind brushed against the hind corner of one of the 911s, and the two red sports cars began to spin.
The accident happened too suddenly and quickly. Outsiders could not see who made the mistake at all. They could only see the two 911s spinning off the track crashing into the protective wall while in a tangled mess.
A gravel trap was laid on the outside of the track, and there were tires hung along the protective wall as cushions. However, when an accident really happened, these two things were completely useless.
Two seconds later, one of the 911s overturned and headed straight into the gravel, and the other was in an even more comical state where it came to lean against the protective wall diagonally. The common point was that the damage done to both cars was extremely serious.
“F * ck! ”
Wu Fanlin jumped to his feet. He was completely dumbfounded.
“Ahhhhh! ”
The series of screams and shrieks from the ladies were heard successively, and it was deafening.
“Hurry up and call for help! Where’s the pit crew?!”
Some people began looking around aimlessly and mindlessly. What retards, if there had been mechanics of a pit crew around, would something like this happen?
The scene was a mess. Fu Yushi and Nawu were worried to death. They grabbed Wang Yan’s arm and hysterically shouted, “Wang Wang! Weiwei…”
“Stay here, the two of you. Don’t run around!”
Wang Yan gently pried open the two girls’ fingers there were wrapped tightly around his arm. Then he turned around and rushed to the protective wall.
The base of the protective wall was made of cement and was about chest-level high. There was a barbed wire fence on top of it, conveniently allowing the audience to watch the match.
Every 10 meters, there was a gap on the barbed wire fence, which could allow one person to pass through.
Wang Yan jumped to the gap in a few steps, jumped into the field, and rushed to the scene of the accident at high speed.
Damn it!
Lin Pingzhi, please don’t let anything happen to you!
At the top speed that his 79 could travel at, Wang Yan closed up a distance of more than 80 meters in less than 10 seconds and arrived at the scene of the accident.
Both cars were red 911s. Given the situation where his view of the license plates were obscured, Wang Yan could not tell the two cars apart from each other, so he rushed to the one that was closer to him first.
The car closer to him had its front facing down and was hung upside down on the wire fence of the protective wall. The state of the shattered front bumper of the car was quite alarming.
Wang Yan did not understand that this was a characteristic of the carbon fiber used to make the sports car and was extremely worried. When he noticed that the driver’s door was jammed by the tire, he immediately went around to the driver’s seat.
The window of the driver’s seat was already shattered, but the face of the driver was obscured due to being suspended in mid-air by the seat belt and airbag.
Wang Yan immediately pushed away a part of the airbag and finally saw the driver.
The unlucky one was the arrogant Chen Yuhang. At the moment, his head was drooping, nose was dripping with blood, and one of his eyes was swollen.
At the sight of Wang Yan, Chen Yuhang’s good eye shone with a glimmer of hope, as if he was delighted to have found the way out of a desperate situation.
“Brother, help me! ”
“My apologies for the interruption. Please excuse me! ”
Wang Yan considerately put the airbag back on, then he turned around and ran away.
“Well, you can try a magic trick on your own! ”
Now, there was only one overturned 911 left. There was no way it would be a mistaken identity again. Wang Yan went straight to the front passenger seat.
When he arrived, several drivers of the other sports cars were already rushing over, ready to help.
However, Huang Xu’s 911GT3 was in a much worse condition than the RS.
The front of the car was smashed and the whole car was overturned. Unfortunately, while the door was deformed, the windows were intact, so the people in the car could not get out at all.
The worst thing was that Huang Xu’s car had been slightly modified before, so quite a handful of safety features contributing to the car’s protective performance was sacrificed. The most direct consequence was that the exhaust pipe concealed within the chassis of the car had ruptured. Gasoline was gurgling and burbling while seeping into the car’s body.
At the same time, there was also white smoke coming out from the engine.
Wang Yan, who had never seen such a scene before, instantly lost his cool. He wanted to smash the car window right away.
“Brother, Brother! Calm down!”
Someone immediately pulled Wang Yan back.
“Brother, we all have tools in the car. Please wait a moment!”
“Yes, the car door is framed with metal. It’s very difficult to dismantle it now that it’s deformed. Don’t be anxious.”
“We have to consider the safety of the people inside. If the people inside are already injured, then forcefully dismantling the door may subject the injured parties to another round of injury… ”
A total of three racers came to the rescue here. Their analysis of the situation sounded very logical and systematic, but it was purely just a discussion. There was no specific or concrete idea to speak of as they simply rushed back to their car to get some tools.
Wang Yan could not be bothered to compete with them. He immediately went down on all fours onto the ground and peeled off a part of the car window.
Lin Weiwei still seemed to be holding on quite well. At the very least, Huang Xu, this idiot, did not remove the anti-roll bar in the backseat to reduce the weight of his car. The entire seat was in a very upright position. Airbags of different sizes were all fully deployed, and only a small half of Lin Weiwei’s face could be seen from the outside.
The moment Lin Weiwei saw Wang Yan, tears instantly filled the eyes of this grown-up lady from the Capital, who was originally of a nonchalant disposition.
The first thing she said made her seem even more delicate and weak.
“Wang Wang, I’m afraid…”
“Don’t be afraid.”
“What? ”
Lin Weiwei was dumbfounded.
“When’s your birthday?” Wang Yan tried his best to smile as lightheartedly as possible.
“Oh my god! ” Lin Weiwei eventually grasped an understanding of what he was trying to do and instantly rolled her eyes, “That sounds so awful…”
Seeing that she was in a good condition, both physically and mentally, Wang Yan finally felt put his mind at ease and flashed a toothy smile.
“Do you know what you look like with your hair hanging loose like this while you roll your eyes? ”
Lin Weiwei did not say anything. She suddenly bit her lower lip.
With one’s face all covered with dust, even a toothy grin would not make a handsome face. On the contrary, it might make the person look somewhat silly.
However, the two rows of white teeth were so bright that they were quite a dazzling sight.
Wang Yan was about to reveal the answer when a little butterball of a man ran over to his side, red-faced and panting. Stammering, he said, “Brother Wang, I, I only have a spanner in my car…”
Wang Yan was stunned and his head shot up. He really got to hand it to these amateur racers.
Brother Wang was feeling quite embarrassed and good-naturedly comforted the other man, “Brother, don’t panic. The 911 is installed with an explosion-proof fuel tank, and the pipeline for fuel transmission has an automatic lock and cut-off function. It is highly impossible that the car will go up in flames. ”
Just as he finished speaking, a ‘pop’ was heard coming from the engine. And suddenly, a tongue of flame leapt up. Then, a fire was ignited.
