94: Chapter 94 Civilian Armored Vehicles?

As the man spoke, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of emotion.

After all, that was the knight xv!

Let alone buying it, most people wouldn't even see it a handful of times in their entire lives.

Zhou Hong also looked at Chen Fan. "Mr. Chen, if you're interested, we'll handle all the paperwork, and you can drive it off today."

As his voice fell,

the scene suddenly fell silent for a brief moment.

The nearby sales representatives exchanged looks, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Clearly, they all knew about that vehicle.

They just hadn't expected Zhou Hong to actually plan on bringing it out.

One of the younger salesmen couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"Mr. Zhou, that vehicle..."

"Should we check with headquarters first?"

Zhou Hong waved his hand.

"No need."

"The payment was never cleared, and the contract expired long ago."

"It's just sitting there anyway."

"If Mr. Chen is interested, we'll let him take a look first."

Saying this, Zhou Hong turned to Chen Fan and smiled.

"Mr. Chen, if you're not satisfied, it's no big deal."

"After all, you won't find this vehicle in most places."

Chen Fan nodded. "Then let's take a look."

He was actually quite curious himself.

The knight xv?

When scrolling through short videos in the past, he seemed to have come across the Knight XV.

Supposedly, it was some kind of land armored vehicle?

Bulletproof, a total behemoth.

Many wealthy foreigners loved it.

But the XVI?

He had never even heard of it, which piqued his interest.

Zhou Hong gave instructions to someone nearby.

"Go to the warehouse."

"Drive the vehicle out."

"Right away."

A few of them immediately jogged off.

Zhou Hong then led Chen Fan to the nearby VIP lounge.

A staff member promptly brought over two cups of freshly ground coffee.

Taking advantage of the wait, Zhou Hong gave a brief introduction.

"Mr. Chen."

"Strictly speaking, this vehicle no longer falls into the category of ordinary SUVs. It's more like a... civilian armored vehicle!"

"The entire vehicle uses a military-grade design concept, and its dimensions are incredibly exaggerated. An ordinary underground garage might not even fit it."

"Its weight is close to six tons, several times that of a normal SUV."

"Its safety performance, of course, goes without saying. If you frequently drive long distances or enjoy road trips, it definitely has a huge advantage."

"If those previous cars were large SUVs,"

"then this knight xv is a mobile fortress!"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.

A civilian armored vehicle?

A mobile fortress?

That description was actually quite interesting.

He hadn't planned on buying a car for street racing anyway.

Spaciousness, safety, and comfort were his top priorities.

If it could also handle off-roading, that would be even better.

Time passed second by second.

Suddenly.

From the back of the exhibition hall,

a deep, powerful engine roar slowly rumbled to life.

Vroom! Vroom!

The sound wasn't harsh, but it was exceptionally heavy.

It was like a sleeping steel beast being slowly awakened.

Many visitors subconsciously turned around.

"What is that sound?"

"Judging by the noise, it sounds pretty beastly!"

More and more eyes turned in that direction.

Before long,

a massive black silhouette slowly came into everyone's view.

Just as the front of the vehicle appeared, the venue fell dead silent.

Right after...

"Holy crap?!"

"Hiss!!"

Someone muttered a curse under their breath.

Following that, the sound of sharp gasps echoed one after another.

And as the entire vehicle fully emerged into everyone's field of vision,

more and more people in the crowd completely lost their composure.

"Holy mother of...!"

"What kind of car is that?!"

"An armored vehicle?!"

"A tank?!"

More and more people gathered around.

The entire body of the vehicle was pitch black.

It was sharp and angular, without a single rounded edge.

With its massive tires, exaggerated ground clearance, heavy doors, and nearly vertical windshield...

From a distance, it didn't look like a civilian car at all!

It looked more like a miniature armored vehicle!

Many people in the crowd had already raised their phones, snapping photos frantically.

"What car is this?"

"That is so cool!"

"Holy crap, so badass!"

"It's my first time seeing one!"

"Wait, is this the knight xv?"

Someone seemed to recognize it and cried out in surprise.

Immediately, many streamers turned their cameras toward it.

...

Soon, the vehicle came to a slow, steady stop.

Yet, even just sitting there quietly,

the vehicle still gave off a powerful sense of oppression.

Chen Fan also looked over.

At first glance, there was only one feeling.

Big!

Incredibly big!

Its body was a whole head taller than a normal SUV!

Broad, boxy, and full of sharp angles.

The entire vehicle was a deep, bottomless pitch black.

As the sunlight hit the body, it reflected a heavy metallic luster.

The front face was like a steel city wall.

The massive grille, paired with a rugged bumper...

gave off an incredibly, immensely powerful sense of oppression!

The escalade parked next to it...

actually looked somewhat... delicate at this moment?

Chen Fan walked a circle around it.

The more he looked, the brighter his eyes shone.

This style was completely different from those previous large SUVs!

No flashy gimmicks, no complex lines.

Only two words!

Hardcore!

Just standing beside the vehicle made Chen Fan feel like his own presence had shrunk a bit.

Seeing Chen Fan nodding repeatedly, Zhou Hong quickly stepped forward to introduce it.

"Mr. Chen, this is the knight xv."

"The entire vehicle is nearly six meters long and about two and a half meters wide."

"It weighs close to six tons."

"It utilizes a military-grade body structure."

"Its glass and protection ratings far exceed those of ordinary models."

"Minor bumps and scratches are practically negligible to it."

Chen Fan nodded and reached out to knock on the car door.

Thud, thud.

The sound was dull, like knocking on a steel plate.

He couldn't help but smile and tease, "With this weight, does it have enough power?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hong quickly laughed and said:

"Absolutely!"

"It has a large-displacement engine."

"There's no issue driving it forward."

"Of course, the driving experience is definitely different from a regular SUV."

"After all, its focus is more on safety."

As he spoke, a staff member had already opened the car door.

Chen Fan stepped onto the running board and climbed into the vehicle.

His first feeling upon sitting inside was... high!

Incredibly high!

Looking out through the windshield,

he could see almost more than half of the exhibition hall.

It gave him a commanding, high-up perspective.

The seat was extremely spacious.

It offered excellent support.

The interior space was also ridiculously huge.

Let alone sitting five or six people,

there would be more than enough room to place a single bed in the back row.

All kinds of features were also fully equipped.

The entire interior lacked the ruggedness of normal off-road vehicles.

Instead, it exuded a sense of low-key luxury.

Chen Fan casually touched the center console.

The craftsmanship was incredibly solid.

It didn't chase luxury like normal high-end cars.

Instead, it emphasized a sense of solidity.

Chen Fan gripped the steering wheel with both hands and turned it slightly.

The feel was heavy yet not stiff, extremely solid!

Seeing this, Zhou Hong smiled and said:

"Mr. Chen, would you like to... take it for a test drive? Don't be fooled by its massive body; driving it is absolutely nimbler than you'd think!"
