We're Truly Amazing

County roads are mostly found in the countryside.

The roads in the countryside are not bad, but once you leave the main highway, things change.

Yao Wei's car smoothly turned off the highway, but as they drove further, a gully appeared. If the car went any further, the tires would surely get stuck.

Heading away from the highway, there was a long slope. Beyond the slope lay a stream flowing from the east.

Yao Wei had no choice but to give up on going forward and turn back.

Lu Xi'an grabbed the door handle to steady himself. He looked back and saw the car blocking the highway had stopped for a while, seeming hesitant.

It was a white pickup truck, half its paint chipped off, looking rusty. The front bumper was dented in many places; who knew how many times it had been crashed.

The truck bed had been raised, but only on the sides.

The bed frame didn't seem to match the truck model, with saw marks at the rear, rough and jagged. A touch would probably scratch your skin.

There were two people with guns, both hiding in the truck bed, aiming their pistols out from under the rear railing.

Those two guys, just like him, didn't show their heads at all, only reaching out to shoot. Aiming was purely based on instinct.

Lu Xi'an breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed not everyone was like Yao Wei; they were all using a "go with the flow" style of gun fighting. They were all about the same, so he didn't have to worry too much about his own shooting skills falling behind.

Also, those two men looked old, their teeth uneven and yellow when they spoke. They didn't look like New Humans, so they should be a bit easier to deal with.

After stopping for a while, the truck still chased after them, unwilling to give up on Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei as new targets.

--Even though they knew Lu Xi'an had a submachine gun.

"How about we switch? I'll drive, you shoot?"

Lu Xi'an asked.

His shooting wasn't accurate. If he went head-to-head with the enemy, it would just be a matter of luck. It was better to hand this task over to someone skilled.

As for driving, ever since he came to this world, although he hadn't touched a car again, his past life memories were still there.

Plus, he had observed that the operating methods of cars in this world were the same as in his past life, so there definitely wouldn't be a problem.

Yao Wei glanced at Lu Xi'an, seeming like she wanted to ask, "Can you do it?" but after considering the skills Lu Xi'an had shown one by one over the past two days, she ultimately didn't speak.

She trusted Lu Xi'an completely. She put the gear in neutral, released the accelerator, letting the car roll in neutral, bent her legs, and crouched down in the seat.

Lu Xi'an, as if telepathically connected, pushed off with his feet, used his core strength, and lunged towards the driver's seat.

The bodies of New Humans, in terms of core strength, flexibility, and balance, far surpassed his previous life. His lunge was like an ape climbing a tree, easily reaching the driver's seat.

At the same time, Yao Wei released her grip on the steering wheel and, from behind Lu Xi'an, they passed each other.

By the time Lu Xi'an gripped the steering wheel and settled in, she was already in the passenger seat.

The tacit understanding between them was as if they had cooperated like this countless times, with unparalleled trust between them.

"Here."

Lu Xi'an tossed the submachine gun to Yao Wei. At the same time, he stepped on the clutch, gripped the gear shifter, estimated the speed, shifted into fifth gear, and then slammed down the accelerator.

The car, which had slightly slowed down, accelerated fiercely once again.

However, Yao Wei put down the submachine gun and said, "I'm not used to this." Then she took out her own pistol and extended it out the car window.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out. The tire of the pickup truck behind them immediately made a sound and deflated.

The truck jolted, spun around on the spot, and quickly braked to a halt.

One of the gunmen in the truck bed was thrown out directly, his head hitting a rock, and he immediately stopped moving. The other gunman, unable to withstand the inertia, was almost thrown out.

"We're really amazing."

Lu Xi'an said with a chuckle.

"Mm."

Yao Wei nodded in agreement.

She thought Lu Xi'an's driving skills were indeed very good, as impressive as his cooking.

Lu Xi'an asked, "Should we fight our way back or leave?"

The gun was in Yao Wei's hand, and her combat ability was also superior. He left the choice to her.

"Go back. They only have two left."

Yao Wei said decisively.

This woman appeared incredibly calm, but her words were full of killing intent.

Lu Xi'an nodded and said, "Okay."

This was undoubtedly the best choice.

They didn't know if the people in that truck had any backup. If they left now, the people in the truck might call for reinforcements and bring their allies, which would put them in an enemy encirclement, and that wouldn't be good.

Hyenas were already difficult to deal with with just their claws and fangs; now they had a vehicle and guns. How could they not treat this cautiously?

Moreover, the people in the truck had already opened fire on them, so it was only right to fight back.

Lu Xi'an turned the steering wheel to make a U-turn. He heard Yao Wei say, "Drive on the road," so without hesitation, he made a slight adjustment to the steering wheel, shifted down, and climbed the incline, returning to the highway.

This positioned his side facing the enemies who had rushed off the road.

Yao Wei sprang into the back seat, right behind Lu Xi'an. She rolled down the car window and raised her pistol.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

The person in the horse trough behind the pickup truck had just stabilized themselves when Yao Wei seized the opportunity, shot him in the head, and he tumbled off the vehicle.

"Brake."

Yao Wei said, at the same time bracing herself with her non-gun hand against the back of the seat. She then stretched out her long leg, pressing against the dehydrated vegetable box on the seat to prevent it from shifting during the sudden stop.

Lu Xi'an didn't even think about it. He released the accelerator and slammed on the brakes.

The car's speed dropped sharply, and the angle from the rear window perfectly aligned with the front seats outside the road.

Yao Wei pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang!

One shot was all it took.

The pickup truck was so beat-up that the front passenger side didn't even have a window. The bullet passed through the open driver's side window, directly entering the driver's forehead, creating a bloody mess.

Lu Xi'an had already stopped the car. Yao Wei opened the door and jogged towards the pickup truck, pistol raised.

Lu Xi'an didn't get out. He grabbed the submachine gun from the passenger seat and rested it on the window frame, providing cover for Yao Wei.

The two people in the truck had already had their heads blown off and were confirmed dead. Yao Wei ignored them and went to check on the person who had been thrown from the vehicle.

She jogged over to him and saw that he was already unconscious. Deciding not to waste a bullet, she took a dagger from her waist and made a swift cut to his neck, carefully avoiding the splashing blood.

"Done."

She stood up and told Lu Xi'an.

Lu Xi'an then got out of the car, and the mechanical dog followed.

Now that everyone was dead, it was time to loot them.

This was no place to linger. The two of them had the same thought: finish looting and leave quickly.

Yao Wei collected both of their pistols. She also found fourteen bullets, the same caliber as her pistol, which was a significant find.

Meanwhile, Lu Xi'an's attention was drawn to the truck's tires. He asked Yao Wei, "Do you think these tires match our car model? Should we take one as a spare?"

Their luck was really good. Lu Xi'an glanced at the tires on the pickup truck; their size, specifications, and tread pattern were identical. They were likely some kind of universal tire.

This meant the tire could be used as a spare.

It was important to note that tire specifications and tread patterns were crucial. If any of the four wheels were different, it could affect grip and potentially cause problems during driving, braking, or cornering.

Yao Wei looked at the pickup's tires, then at their own car parked on the roadside, and nodded in agreement. "Mm."
