BOOM!!!
A violent explosion erupted more than sixty meters away. A hypersonic shell had struck the ground. The loose Martian earth instantly split open into a massive gash, an ocean of dirt and dust surged skyward, and a fierce shockwave swept in all directions, slamming into the rear of the armored vehicle in the blink of an eye.
But at that moment, the vehicle seemed to come alive. Not only did it not overturn, it instead rode the shockwave like a light boat cutting through wind and waves, abruptly accelerating as it drifted erratically forward. Its speed shot straight up to 260 kilometers per hour.

Rumble! Flames erupted skyward across vast stretches of ground.
That single carpet bombing run was enough to wipe out the forces of several companies. Under normal circumstances, no one could survive such saturated firepower.
But in the next moment, amid the billowing smoke and dust of the explosions, a rugged military vehicle used the terrain to launch itself into the air. It burst out with a thunderous roar, leaping from the devastated zone like a savage beast. With a thud, it smashed into the ground and continued racing forward amid violent jolts.
Inside the vehicle, the world was turned upside down. Ling Xingjian was thrown left and right until she was dizzy and disoriented.
