Magical Driving Skills

Once the plane landed, Bai Ge arrived in San Francisco.

It was already around ten at night. After clearing customs, the two headed straight for Chinatown.

However, on the way, Shao Yuan said, "Isn't there a containment object in San Francisco? I'll go check out the situation. I won't go meet your sister."

"What's so bad about meeting her?" Bai Ge asked with a laugh.

Shao Yuan shook his head frantically. "You two siblings are reuniting. What would I be doing there? I might as well go keep watch."

Bai Ge said speechlessly, "We only need to use my hacking tools to investigate first. There's no need to rush."

Shao Yuan curled his lip. "Fine, you're the boss. Just don't complain that I'm a third wheel."

"Hey! She's my biological sister!" Bai Ge said in astonishment.

Shao Yuan gave him a strange smile. "I know..."

"..."

On the way, Bai Ge handed the electromagnetic gun to him and warned, "Keep the ring safe. If you dare let it touch my sister, I'll chop you up."

After hearing that, Shao Yuan said with unusual seriousness, "Should I just swallow the ring? Anyway, as long as the ring comes into contact with me, any part of my body can transmit the virus. And the aftereffect of ending the infection requires contact with the ring..."

Bai Ge said speechlessly, "You don't have to go that far. Just cover it with a glove."

The two chatted and laughed, and they soon arrived in Chinatown.

Bai Ge immediately called Bai Ye's number, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered.

That left him at a loss. Bai Ge had no idea where his sister lived.

Shao Yuan said, "Her phone is on. Why don't we locate her directly?"

Bai Ge didn't really want to do that, so he called three more times in succession. Not a single call was answered.

"Locate her!"

Locating smartphones was much easier than it had been in the past. In just five minutes, Shao Yuan pinpointed the location of Bai Ye's phone.

"Bai Ge! It's very close to the containment object's location—almost in the exact same place!"

"What?"

Bai Ge's expression changed instantly. He called Bai Ye again, but there was still no answer.

He decisively hacked into his sister's phone and tried to force its camera to turn on. After tinkering with it for a long while, all he saw on the other end was a black screen. In other words, the camera was covered.

"Let's go! We're heading over right now!" Bai Ge panicked.

Containment objects were completely unreasonable once they became dangerous. With his sister so close to one, Bai Ge would go insane if anything happened to her!

Seeing how anxious Bai Ge was, Shao Yuan understood the seriousness of the situation. But after looking around, he said, "But we don't have a car! There aren't even any ride-hailing cars here! We'll have to wait for a taxi."

Bai Ge decisively pointed at the cars parked nearby and said, "There are cars everywhere!"

Shao Yuan stared in shock. Then he saw Bai Ge walk over to a Chevrolet parked by the roadside, reach out, and yank the door open.

Bai Ge motioned for Shao Yuan to get in, then started the car directly. He didn't use a key at all, and the vehicle shot forward.

Shao Yuan looked in surprise at the empty keyhole but said nothing. In his eyes, Bai Ge occasionally displayed astonishing abilities, and he had grown fairly accustomed to it.

"Give me directions!"

Driving the Chevrolet, Bai Ge immediately pushed the speed to one hundred and kept accelerating. The vehicle roared heavily as it weaved through the traffic.

Shao Yuan didn't remain idle either. He immediately checked the location and guided Bai Ge along the route.

Before long, a police car behind them turned on its siren and gave chase.

Clearly, their reckless rampage through the city had forced the police to intervene.

But Bai Ge certainly wasn't going to stop. Instead, he did everything he could to shake off the police.

"Find the clearest route. And you'd better hack into the surveillance around Bai Ye's location," Bai Ge said.

Upon hearing that, Shao Yuan hurriedly took out his laptop.

He had to guide Bai Ge one moment, check the traffic conditions the next, and then locate the surveillance around Bai Ye. With the siren blaring urgently behind them, Shao Yuan was becoming flustered.

Seeing that Shao Yuan couldn't handle everything, Bai Ge simply took the computer and placed it beneath the car window.

He operated it with one hand, his fingers clattering rapidly.

His other hand controlled the steering wheel without the slightest disorder. As far as operation went, he was much smoother than Shao Yuan.

Shao Yuan merely relied on his tools, while Bai Ge truly possessed the skill himself. He could even exchange information with Bell in secret with the blink of an eye.

If he encountered an encrypted lock that needed cracking, he could force it open with a single thought.

"There's a red light ahead. At this speed, the next three intersections will all be red..." Shao Yuan checked the route on his phone and spoke.

Bai Ge grunted and said, "I know. I've already hacked the traffic-control system."

As soon as he finished speaking, the red light abruptly turned green. The traffic immediately began moving smoothly, and Bai Ge hurriedly overtook the cars ahead.

Once he had passed through, the drawback of the prematurely appearing green light emerged. Cars from two lanes piled together, directly blocking the intersection.

That happened to stop the police cars pursuing them from behind. The precise timing had been rapidly calculated for him by Bell.

Bai Ge quickly crossed two blocks, encountering green lights all the way.

Fortunately, it was the middle of the night. Although the chaos caused major traffic disruptions and several intersections became congested, they did not become completely blocked.

More and more police cars arrived from various intersections, constantly trying to force Bai Ge to stop.

By now, Bai Ge had pushed his speed to 180 miles per hour. In a city, that was a speed tantamount to suicide.

However, Bai Ge could always learn about the road conditions ahead in advance. He could also detect where every police car was approaching from before they got close.

He continuously operated the computer with one hand, his eyelids blinking furiously as he and Bell worked together to process a massive amount of information.

In the eyes of the police, the Chevrolet had gone completely insane. It had no fear of death, repeatedly scraping past the narrow gaps between two police cars at the limit.

"Hit him!" The dozen or so police cars were unable to catch up to Bai Ge, and they were furious.

In San Francisco, they had arrested countless street racers. It could be said that the police themselves had trained up impressive driving skills.

In fact, at the beginning, they enjoyed chasing this kind of street racer. It allowed them to speed legally as well.

The police enjoyed the thrill of catching up to their target... Of course, that was only if they could actually catch up...

The Chevrolet ahead seemed to be driving through the wilderness. It completely ignored the complicated road conditions, weaving beneath one streetlamp after another.

"Skrrt..." At a large bend, Bai Ge suddenly drifted.

Because he was moving far too fast, he didn't slow down at all. The entire vehicle was already on the verge of losing control, its side hurtling toward a police car cutting in diagonally from the side.

One of the tires left the ground, and the car seemed about to flip.

If he collided with the police car like that, the Chevrolet would be sent flying, roll over the top of the police car, and ultimately crash into the entrance of a roadside shop.

"Oh!"

The police in the distance cried out in alarm.

The two officers inside the police car about to be hit looked even more terrified.

If they were struck, they might not suffer as badly as the Chevrolet, but they certainly wouldn't escape unscathed.

The police officer, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, wanted to see what lunatic was driving the Chevrolet. Unfortunately, the side windows were tinted, allowing him to see only a blurry figure.

We're going to crash... the officer thought grimly.

But at that moment, a dull impact rang out.

Bang!

The Chevrolet tilted forty-five degrees. Blocked by both its high speed and the police car, it flipped onto its side, twisting into the air.

What happened next, however, made them question Newton.

The Chevrolet rotated 720 degrees in midair, cleared the police car perfectly, and landed steadily on the ground.

Everything happened too quickly. The Chevrolet, which had seemed certain to roll over, landed with exquisite precision, as if covered by the protection of heaven. The diagonal collision force that should have been impossible to control was somehow dissipated.

It was as dazzling as a gymnast performing a routine in midair and then landing beautifully.

The loss of control from forcing the turn had been neutralized just like that. The moment it landed, its speed didn't drop at all. It sped away, leaving deep tire marks on the ground.

"What? That's possible?"

The police were all dumbfounded. They had never seen such a terrifying turn—drifting at full speed, spinning out of control, and landing perfectly.

The police car that had originally blocked the road had instead become part of an obstacle-course demonstration.

"Is that Bumblebee?"

Inside the police cars giving chase, various exclamations of "WTF" rang out nonstop.

A young officer asked the veteran driver, "Can a turn like that actually be done?"

"I have no idea... No one's ever tried it! Shouldn't he have just flipped over and crashed into the wall?" Even the veteran who had captured countless street racers couldn't understand such driving.

In truth, they didn't know that even Shao Yuan, sitting in the passenger seat, had been scared into a cold sweat.

In theory, the situation just now really should have ended with the car flipping and rolling.

But if the driver was... Magneto, that was another matter entirely.
