—The red route indicates the path the ship must take to leave port.
—Green indicates reachable cliff points.
Ren Yu continued giving orders:
"Is there a route that lets us use inertia to jump across and reach the ship?"
The mechanical voice abruptly fell silent, seemingly calculating something.
A few seconds later, the voice rang out again.
[Turn left onto the mountain road. Reduce speed to below 230 KM/H. Enter the straightaway in five seconds, then accelerate...]
"Holy shit, you're really planning to do this?!" Tesla was genuinely panicking now.
"Calm down. Even if we miss the ship, we still have other options..."
She tried to talk Ren Yu out of his crazy plan.
Using inertia to leap across was simply too dangerous.
But Ren Yu glanced at Tesla through the rearview mirror and explained:
"Time's running out. What other options do you have? Besides, we won't die anyway. You installed so much safety equipment in this car—it'd be a waste not to go big."
Tesla really had heavily modified this SUV from top to bottom.
The engine, suspension, tires, body...
And most importantly, its safety protection.
In theory, even if she drove this car head-on into a cargo truck, the worst outcome would be the car getting wrecked. No one would die.
Ren Yu had his own reasons for doing this.
—The King of Gamblers Competition was organized by Schicksal, so it was best to follow their rules.
If they failed to catch up in time and used some other method to get there later, they might be stopped and barred from participating.
Ren Yu shifted his gaze to Sie in the passenger seat and suddenly smiled.
"Nervous?"
The next second, Sie blinked her deep blue eyes and looked over innocently, her body trembling slightly.
She bit her lower lip and shook her head, forcing a faint smile onto her pale face.
"I... I'm not scared."
It was obvious that Sie was putting on a brave face. She was shaking so badly, yet still pretending she feared nothing.
Ren Yu sighed. "If you really can't do it, let the other you take over."
Unexpectedly, Sie shook her head, her eyes filled with determination.
"No... no... I can do it too."
She was clearly so weak and timid, but for some reason, she didn't want Ren Yu to look down on her now.
It was as if she deliberately wanted to show him her strong side.
"..."
Ren Yu fell silent for a moment before slowly replying after a long while.
"Good luck."
"Mm!"
By then, following the car's navigation, the SUV was only a few hundred meters from the final cliff point.
Watching the countdown displayed on the map, Ren Yu suddenly felt his heartbeat speed up.
7 seconds!
This was the countdown the AI had calculated for him.
Seven seconds from now would be the moment to floor the accelerator and launch off the cliff.
Enough!
Ren Yu estimated that this modified car could accelerate from 0 to 680 in less than seven seconds.
Not to mention, his starting speed wasn't 0.
Seven seconds was enough!
Knowing she couldn't stop the single-minded Ren Yu, Tesla simply lay flat against her seat and secured herself tightly with the seat belt.
Though the moment had not yet arrived, an atmosphere of tension had already spread through the car.
In the trunk, although Kiana had no idea what Ren Yu was about to do, she had felt all along that things weren't so simple.
Countdown?
Hold tight?
Was Assistant Teacher performing some kind of stunt?
She suddenly shivered and instinctively grabbed the steel bar beneath her seat to steady herself.
It was as though only this could make her feel a little more at ease.
Finally, Ren Yu slammed down on the accelerator.
The speed surged sharply.
347... 457... 632...
