38: Chapter 38 As long as I'm fast enough, trouble can't catch me!

In the deep blue ruins of the undersea, fierce winds howled.

Bai Li lay prone on the broad back of the Mechanical White Tiger, her stunningly beautiful face covered in frost.

The Mechanical White Tiger exerted force with its limbs, its sharp alloy claws striking sparks along the broken stone road as it sprinted forward at a frantic speed of 150 km/h.

Under the pursuit of this deadly tsunami, this speed had already exceeded the limits of the vast majority of players.

But Bai Li did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

She turned her head slightly, her cold gaze fixed intently on the blood-colored tank behind her that resembled a prehistoric behemoth; her muscles were tensed to the absolute limit.

She had long been prepared to fight at any moment.

In Bai Li's understanding, while this kind of tracked tank weighing dozens of tons had strong defense, its speed was definitely its fatal flaw; it was fundamentally impossible for it to catch up with a Mechanical White Tiger running at full speed.

The only thing she truly needed to guard against was that dark red tank main gun.

As long as she kept a close eye on the muzzle and made tactical evasions the moment the opponent fired, she had absolute confidence in being able to dodge the bombardment.

Just as Bai Li was on high alert.

"Boom—!"

A deafening, terrifying explosion suddenly echoed from behind.

The massive sonic boom was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the arms Bai Li used to control the white tiger to jerk violently.

"Not good!"

Bai Li's pupils constricted, her heart leaped into her throat, and she instinctively prepared to maneuver the white tiger to dodge.

However, a second passed.

The expected Armor-piercing shell tearing through the air did not arrive.

Nothing happened.

Bai Li looked back strangely, her eyes full of confusion.

The main gun... actually wasn't pointing forward?

Immediately after, she saw a scene that overturned her common sense.

She saw the air behind the Red Wolf Tank seemingly forced open by a violent power, forming a visible, massive circular ripple.

Then, that small mountain of steel weighing dozens of tons actually used the terrifying recoil of the cannon to close the distance toward her at high speed, like a bullet fired from a gun!

Reversing at breakneck speed?!

A drop of cold sweat instantly slid down Bai Li's forehead.

What kind of hellish tactic was this?!

Before she could recover from her shock to make any counterattack.

"Boom—!"

A second earth-shattering explosion erupted again.

The mountain-like blood-colored tank underwent a second acceleration; the furious roar of the engine and the shrill whistle of tearing air intertwined, making one's scalp tingle.

"Swish!"

Bai Li glanced at the Rear-view radar on the control interface.

Red alarms were flashing frantically.

The radar clearly showed that the speed of the approaching tank behind her had soared to a horrifying 300 km/h!

It wasn't over yet!

When the third ear-shattering explosion came, the hull of the Red Wolf Tank even pulled out a dark red afterimage in the air.

The massive steel behemoth, in almost an instant, flashed past Bai Li's eyes in an arrogant and unreasonable manner!

"Whoosh—Boom!"

What kind of gale was whipped up when a 65-ton object rushed past her at nearly 400 km/h?

It was practically a small-scale Force 10 hurricane!

The Mechanical White Tiger, which had been running at full speed, lost its balance on the spot, its thick mechanical legs suddenly buckling in the gale.

"Damn it!"

Bai Li let out a cry of alarm as she, along with the several-hundred-kilogram Mechanical White Tiger, was violently flipped onto the ground by the rampaging airwave.

The person and the tiger rolled twice in a sorry state on the rubble-strewn ruins road before barely managing to stabilize themselves.

Bai Li climbed up from the ground covered in dust, her originally smooth long hair now a mess, her cold and beautiful aura completely gone.

She panted heavily, staring fixedly at the radar screen.

On the radar, the speed of that red dot had already surpassed 400 km/h, and it was disappearing ahead on the map at an incredible speed.

She admitted that at this moment, she had completely broken down.

"400 km/h? Is that a speed a freaking tank can reach?!"

The usually cold and proud ice beauty couldn't help but curse, her chest heaving violently.

What made her feel even more humiliated and frantic was Lu Yuan's attitude.

Ever since the Service area lobby, she had treated this man with the black ID as her greatest rival, being on high alert the whole way and even prepared to risk her life at any moment.

The result?

From beginning to end, the guy didn't even give her a second glance.

Forget about firing a cannon; Lu Yuan just stepped on the gas and treated her like a rock by the road or a puff of air, vanishing before her eyes with a "swish"!

Bai Li gritted her teeth and stared at the red dot about to disappear on the radar, an unprecedented fire of anger igniting in her eyes.

"Red Wolf, is it... Just you wait! Once I catch up, I'll definitely tear your crappy tank to pieces!"

...

Meanwhile.

The culprit who had completely broken the ice beauty's composure was sitting comfortably in the tank's cockpit.

The car stereo was at full blast, with deafening heavy metal rock music echoing wildly inside the cabin.

Lu Yuan swayed his body casually to the heavy drumbeats while observing the situation behind him through the Panoramic periscope.

In the periscope screen, that majestic Mechanical White Tiger and that cold female player from the C-1 District were being blown off balance by the gale kicked up by the tank...

In the blink of an eye, they were left far behind at the end of his vision, turning into a small red dot on the edge of the radar.

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze, a relaxed curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He placed his hands back on the control levers, his eyes confident and arrogant.

"Hmph, as long as I'm fast enough, trouble can't catch up to me!"

"Bye-bye to you!"

Accompanied by the furious roar of the engine, the blood-colored steel behemoth turned into a bolt of lightning, vanishing into the depths of Atlantis.
