Inside the vehicle, aside from one of the driver's men and another man operating the Gatling gun, the back seat was piled entirely with ammunition!
Even so, the ammunition was visibly dwindling at an alarming rate!
Such expenditure was not without effect. On the contrary, it was incredibly effective.
A metal storm—that was the Gatling gun's standard configuration.
A deadly metal storm!
Under such a threat, the police officers who had just charged inside immediately retreated without hesitation.
Who could withstand that?
They would need to bring in a Tank!
Everyone was just trying to earn a living. Who would willingly throw their life away for nothing?
It was not as though these police officers did not know what the station was guarding.
It was drug lord Reyes's money!
Not theirs!
Under such circumstances, facing such a terrifying weapon, charging forward meant certain death. Why would they do it?
Of course they would not!
The group rushed back at nearly twice the speed they had arrived, and some of the sharper ones even stripped off their uniforms and began running outside.
They had no intention of dying for a drug lord's money. To hell with this job!
Meanwhile, Reyes naturally noticed the massive commotion. Led by a police officer, he hurried toward the records room. That money was his lifeblood, and he had to make sure nothing happened to it!
Toretto and O'Conner, who had securely connected the steel cables to the safe, had already returned to their respective cars. They shut their doors, fastened their seat belts, started their engines, gradually pushed them to maximum power, and floored the accelerators.
The tires scraped wildly against the ground as white smoke gradually spread.
Sometimes, people fell into strange misconceptions.
For example, if there was a door that no one could open—or one that was incredibly difficult to open—the guardians assumed they could rest easy.
But the wall was not the strongest part!
Nothing was more awkward than building the toughest door in the world, then installing it in a mud wall.
Just like now—the safe was indeed incredibly sturdy, heat-resistant, and difficult to open, but... it was only embedded a little way into a concrete wall.
And then...
Toretto and O'Conner successfully ripped the safe out of the wall with their cars, while Zhou Yi's men drove the armored vehicle straight ahead to clear the way. Then, they charged out together!
When Reyes reached the records room, this was the sight that greeted him.
His money—the massive safe containing one hundred million dollars in cash—had been dragged away wholesale!
Reyes froze.
That was his money, his life!
"Chase them! Get people after them!" Reyes snapped back to his senses and shouted as he jumped in fury.
"Quick, go! Go after them!" the police chief hurriedly gave the order.
Yet very few officers obeyed him.
Those who had not faced that weapon firsthand had no way of imagining the terror it inspired—the primal fear inherent in humanity when facing death.
They would rather be fired or suffer retaliation than go die outright!
Other than some of Reyes's men, the police officers who truly drove after them were merely going through the motions. They acted as though they were trying desperately, but the distance between them and Toretto's group kept growing.
It had to be said, that took skill too. That was called acting!
There was no helping it. A Gatling gun paired with an armored vehicle was simply an absurdly terrifying threat in a city like this against police armed with handguns and, at best, shotguns!
"Looks like my job is easy," Zhou Yi said, tapping the keyboard. In an instant, every traffic light in the city changed according to his preset arrangements and remained fixed in place. "Everyone, follow the original plan and route. If anything unexpected happens, communicate promptly."
"The whole city is cooperating with you two," Zhou Yi said with a smile. "Is there a better racetrack than this?"
"I don't think so. Thanks, Zhou," Toretto said with a grin.
Controlling the traffic lights could not stop Reyes's men or the police, but it could stop the civilians.
And that meant Zhou Yi could control the flow of people, letting traffic through, clearing roads, blocking routes, and much more.
For example, after Toretto and O'Conner drove through an intersection while dragging that enormous safe, he could alter the lights. When the police and Reyes's men came chasing after them, the suddenly surging traffic flow cut them off completely!
They did not care if they rammed civilian cars, but their own vehicles had not been modified. At such speeds and with traffic that dense, they could only obediently stop or take a detour!
But for Zhou Yi, who controlled the city's entire traffic network, what difficulty was there in changing the lights elsewhere, manipulating their routes, and completely trapping them in gridlock?
Although other police officers scattered throughout the city and Reyes's men also closed in from all sides, Zhou Yi's traffic control alone intercepted the vast majority of them. As for the few lucky ones left... if driving gods could lose to such small fry, they would not be called driving gods.
Along the way, Toretto and O'Conner barely encountered any pursuers at all, and the few they did meet were easily dealt with!
Even O'Conner found it absurd, because this could hardly be called a deadly race. Just as Zhou Yi had said, it truly was nothing more than a race where the entire city was cooperating with them!
"This is completely insane!" Roman covered his face, looking utterly incredulous. "Is this really a robbery? I think we're on vacation!"
"This is what he can do," Gisele said with a smile. "He's a magical man."
"Thanks for the compliment." Zhou Yi tapped the desk. "I heard that."
"Controlling traffic... this move is simply impossible to counter," Toretto said, shaking his head.
Then something bizarre happened.
The city seemed to have become a ghost town—at least along Toretto's route.
After dealing with those insignificant pursuers, they arrived beneath a dark underpass beneath an overpass that had been marked in the plan, where they pulled off a switcheroo—
Toretto and O'Conner split apart in their vehicles and passed along either side of the truck, while the safe in the middle rolled directly into the truck along the slanted thick iron plate that served as a ramp.
On both sides of the truck, the Spanish duo swiftly untied the steel cables from the safe, then attached them to the fake safe at the front of the truck for Toretto and O'Conner to drag away.
They then shut the truck's rear doors, returned to the cargo compartment, and Gisele, who was responsible for driving the truck, drove it toward another location they had chosen beforehand!
At the same time, Zhou Yi lifted the traffic restrictions and erased every trace he had left behind.
Toretto and O'Conner took the fake safe onto the bridge. On the bridge, they performed a coordinated drift, then quickly severed the steel cables in midair using the mechanism prepared in advance. The tremendous inertia and sideways force sent the safe smashing through the bridge railing and plunging into the river!
Then Toretto and O'Conner drove away without hesitation. Freed from the ten-ton-plus safe, their powerful vehicles and superb driving skills allowed them to escape as effortlessly as fish in water!
Reyes, who had chased after them by car, arrived just in time to see his safe flying into the river.
"Get someone to haul it back up!" Reyes roared in fury. "Now!!!"
PS: I'm completely dumbfounded. Am I cursed or something? The two Top Esports matches I watched earlier were both losses, but when I stopped watching, they won. I heard they were about to come back from 0-2 to 3-2, so I went back to watch. The moment I tuned in, they lost another team fight. I got so scared that I immediately closed it and waited for the result...
So was RNG back then eliminated because I watched them?
This hurts, Ma Fei~
As everyone knows, the difference between a flop and a master lies in hair volume. Looking at my hairline and how much hair I had left, I realized I still had a long way to go before becoming a master.
