Chapter 1410: Headshot In A Car Accident?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What… what’s going on?”
Zhang Yan was at a loss.
She had thought that the worst case scenario would be severe injury. She had not expected to die so quickly!
Logically speaking, she had stepped on the brake when she realized that she was about to hit it. The car might not have slowed down completely, but considering that there was a crash beam, a safety air bag, and the safety belt, she should not have died directly under the protection of various safety measures, right?
It would have been fine if the god-like car Mini had crashed into it and died on the spot. After all, the safety of a car that cost more than 30,000 yuan could not be counted on. No one would drive this thing at high-speed. However, Zhang Yan bought a Passat that cost more than 200,000 yuan!
This brand’s car had always been famous for the sound of the car door closing.
Of course, Zhang Yan did not understand these. She only said this after reading some posts online: The sound of the car door closing was very loud, which meant that the steel used was more solid. Then, the safety would definitely be more reliable.
Yet, what was the result? How was it reliable?
Fortunately, the game was very benevolent. It even allowed players to watch the death flashback so that players could die clearly.
The death notice said that the head, neck, legs, and other parts of the body were severely damaged, especially the head and neck. There was basically no possibility of disability because they would die directly.
It would be clearer from the car’s remains.
The beautiful new car had become a scrapped car. The most eye-catching thing was that the car’s A column had almost broken. It had a very obvious invasion of the driver’s seat space. It would definitely cause a serious squeeze to the passengers in the car.
That way, it was not surprising that the driver’s legs, feet, and other parts were severely damaged.
“That’s not right either.”
“If his legs or feet were severely injured, he would at most be amputated. He would still be able to survive, right?”
Zhang Yan was still confused.
Of course, no one was willing to make a choice between death and severe injury. Everyone wanted to be safe. However, if they had to choose, they would definitely try their best to keep their lives.
Even though he would save on medical expenses if he were to die… he would have nowhere to spend the medical expenses if he were to lose his life.
Zhang Yan looked again. Good lord, this game not only had death data, but also a death replay!
In the replay of the accident, Zhang Yan clearly saw the entire process of the car accident.
The truck in front of him suddenly had a flat tire, causing the car to lose control and stop on the road. Everything happened so suddenly that the driver did not have the time to put the warning logo on it. Zhang Yan did not observe the road situation because of her fatigue. It was already too late when she realized it. She still hit it firmly even though she stepped on the brake.
The main point was after they hit it.
Zhang Yan watched the entire collision in slow motion, wanting to know where the severe injury to the head and neck came from.
Logically speaking, even though he was wearing a seatbelt and there was a safety balloon in the car, it should have a very good buffer effect, right? It shouldn’t be that the safety balloon did not pop out and his head hit the windscreen, right?
However, after taking a closer look at the video, Zhang Yan was stunned.
After the violent collision, the safety air bag indeed sprang out. However, perhaps because the A column was severely deformed or because of the driver’s cabin invasion, the safety air bag did not catch the driver’s face!
This caused the driver’s head to pass by the airbag and hit the broken and severely-invasive column A!
As for the side safety air bag, I’m sorry, there is no side safety air bag for this car model.
Of course, he might have considered not scaring the children, so he did not cause them to bleed. The driver looked like a dummy. However, just seeing this scene was enough to imagine how much damage it would cause in reality.
He must have exploded on the spot. His face was unrecognizable, and his neck had been crushed. There was no need to look up to him. He might as well cremate him.
“This is too ridiculous!”
Zhang Yan could not accept this.
There was a safety air bag but it did not catch the driver’s head? That was unheard of!
What’s more, the Passat, which always boasted about its own safety, ended up like this. Was the game really not being despicable?
The car was gone, and so was the person.
The only good news was that the tens of thousands of yuan left behind by the previous account could be inherited after the new account was opened for training. What’s more, since there was no violation of the rules for the new account, the new account did not need to test the driver’s license again.
However, the starting sum was not 240,000, but 200,000.
Obviously, even though he could inherit the assets of the previous account after opening the new account, the initial funds would be reduced. After a few times, it should be reduced to the lowest value, such as 50,000 or 80,000.
Then, he would have very few cars to buy. He would still have to save money from scratch.
This should be to prevent people from deliberately creating car accidents to spend money. Each time, they would buy a car that cost tens of thousands. After dying, they would inherit the remaining money to their next account. Then, they would repeatedly hit and swipe.
What’s more, this preferential treatment could only be given to car accidents caused by normal driving. If they took the initiative to violate the rules and caused a car accident, they might have to inherit the fines and retake their driver’s license.
Zhang Yan could accept this result. At the very least, her previous efforts were not wasted. She had nearly 260,000 yuan on hand and could buy a good car.
However, she could not accept the outcome of the collision at all!
It was about time to take a break. Zhang Yan prepared to rest for half an hour and check out everyone’s comments online.
There should be many people who chose a Passat in the first car like her. No one would be able to accept this collision result.
Of course, he could also see which car was better. He could not spend the 260,000 yuan he had on hand anymore. He had to choose a car that was safer. Otherwise, no matter how much money he earned, he would still lose money.
There were already many discussions about ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ online.
“It’s really too difficult to get a driver’s license. I give up! I think it’s not even that difficult in real life!”
“Is there anyone who can help me get a driver’s license? Thank you!”
“‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ ‘s driver license must be taught! I’ll lose out if I don’t watch it!”
“F*ck, I tested for two whole hours before I finally passed! For some reason, I suddenly recall the feeling of playing Repent and be Saved. I was also stuck in the newbie village for two hours…”
“It’s alright. The driver’s license test for the back passenger car and big truck are still waiting for you. That’s even harder.”
“Forget it, I’ll just obediently ask for a car.”
“Is there something wrong with this game? I’ve been driving all day. After work, I want to play games and entertain myself at home. In the end, I’m more nervous than I am in reality?”
“I think the most ridiculous thing is the car damage. Why do I feel that the car cannot be touched more than in reality? It would become severely deformed after just a slight collision. It’s too scary!”
“Actually, this is the real impact effect. It would be ridiculous if the engine cover flew off the car after other racing games with a speed of 200KM/H hit. However, everyone is already used to the hard body of other racing games, so they are not used to this game.”
“It’s said that a large part of the huge investment in ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ is in the engine. The base of the car, the A column, and other structures are designed separately. The strength of the different structures is different. In addition, the real physical effect of the engine is close to 90% of the results of the collision in reality.”
“Nonsense! This is a gimmick. I used a Passat to hit it and lost the person. How can a Passat be so rubbish in reality? Either this collision system is not perfect and is not as impressive as they brag, or they deliberately defamed the Passat!”
“Me too. The Passat was raised to the sky on the spot. That’s too unreasonable!”
“Yes, especially the deviation collision. This result is too ridiculous. The air bag did not even catch the driver’s face. This must be a problem with the physical engine calculation in the game!”
“Why isn’t it reasonable? Have you bumped into each other in real life?”
“F*ck, who would dare to drive it this way in reality? However, the Passat has always been known for its safety. The old car owners are all well-known. Could it be that so many of them are under the supervision of the masses?”
“Don’t be so confident. The new Parasite hasn’t been released in the IIAS, right? It should be released in two days. What if this generation loses out?”
“The results of the collision of the United States’ version of Pashat are out. It’s perfect. How can the domestic reduction be reduced to such a state?”
“That’s right. No matter how much we reduce the compatibility, we can still reduce the safety air bag crooked? If the test results are good, how should we explain the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’? Are we receiving black money from our competitor?”
“Stop arguing, everyone. The game did not say that this is a Volkswagen Passat.”
“This car logo and this style might have been changed a lot, but anyone with discerning eyes would be able to tell. Do you still want to go back on your word?”
Apart from those discussing the driver’s license test online, there were also those discussing the results of the car collision.
After all, those who could not pass the driver’s license test had already been dissuaded. Those who had passed the driver’s license test had also accepted this gameplay. They would more or less pay attention to the safety of the car.
There was a saying that walking fast was nothing. One would only succeed if they did not fall.
This was not like many other racing games. Once the car was bought, it would be permanent. What’s more, it would not be damaged no matter how it hit. There would not be a need to repair it, and the driver would not be injured.
In Safe and Civilized Driving, safety and maintenance would directly affect players’ income.
You worked so hard for an hour to earn forty thousand yuan, but in the end, a car accident brought you back to square one. How could you not pay attention to the safety of the car?
As the car with the biggest difference in expectations and collision results, Passat naturally received the most attention.
The IIAS that netizens were talking about was the Insurance Institute for Automotive Safety. It was the publicly recognized objective and fair Automated Safety evaluation organization in the world.
That was because it was established by the insurance association, and the interests of insurance and car manufacturers were naturally contradictory. The safer the car was, the more insurance companies would have to pay after the accident. Thus, they would basically not be bribed by car manufacturers.. Most people treated it as an important consideration for buying the car.
