Chapter 117 Highway Chase
California, Interstate 5.
This day is destined to be recorded in the annals of the United States' transportation history.
If someone were to look down from above at this moment, they would see that the northbound lanes of Los Angeles are already jammed with a long red line of cars.
Countless private cars were crammed together, their horns blaring deafeningly.
There were cars with mattresses strapped to the roof, trunks stuffed with cans, and even cars towing yachts...
Everyone was like headless flies, frantically trying to escape the city behind them that had just been "baptized by heavenly fire".
In this congested traffic.
A black Ford Raptor stood out from the crowd.
Instead of patiently queuing up like other cars, it darted left and right like a wild boar in heat.
One moment they're riding on the green belt, the next they're speeding along the emergency lane.
"Beep beep beep—!!!"
The surrounding drivers honked their horns angrily, and one particularly irritable man rolled down his window, raised his middle finger, and swore:
"Hey! You bastard! Want to be reincarnated?!"
"Fuck you! Don't you know how to queue?! This is a civilized society!"
however.
The only response they received was the roar of the Raptor pickup truck's engine and a plume of black smoke billowing from its exhaust pipe.
inside the car.
Lin Fan gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes gleaming, and pressed the accelerator with unwavering determination.
"Wuhu—!"
"Old Lin! This car is awesome!"
Lin Fan jerked the steering wheel to avoid a Beetle in front of him, shouting excitedly as he did so.
"It's much better than the Jetta I learned to drive in at driving school!"
"If this were paired with 'Make a Scene,' it would be absolutely perfect!"
In the passenger seat.
Lin Jianguo held onto the handle on the roof of the car with one hand, while calmly picking his nose with the other.
Although the car was shaking like a roller coaster, he remained motionless, as if welded to his seat.
"Take it easy."
Lin Jianguo flicked the unidentified object on his little finger out the window and said casually,
"Don't blow out the tires, we still have a long way to go."
Don't worry!
Lin Fan said confidently, "My skills have been refined through..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
boom!
The right-side rearview mirror crashed into a trash can and sent it flying.
Lin Fan: "..."
Lin Jianguo: "..."
"Ahem, a mistake, purely a mistake." Lin Fan chuckled dryly. "The placement of road infrastructure in the US is unreasonable."
Lin Jianguo rolled his eyes, too lazy to expose him.
Just then.
The traffic jam ahead came to a complete standstill.
Several hundred meters away, red and blue police lights were flashing everywhere.
More than a dozen police cars were parked across the middle of the road, forming a long cordon.
Fully armed American police officers, carrying riot shields and automatic rifles, are conducting extremely rigorous checks on passing vehicles.
"Stop the car! Submit for inspection!"
"Hands behind your head! Open the trunk!"
A stern roar came from the loudspeaker.
Obviously.
The commotion in Los Angeles has been so great that California police have urgently blocked all exits from the city.
To prevent unrest and to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Seeing the long queue ahead, Lin Fan slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in the emergency lane.
"Old man, we're checking vehicles up ahead."
Lin Fan peeked inside and said, "It seems pretty strict. Our car... its origins are questionable."
It's not just that it came from an illegitimate source.
This car was just salvaged from the rubble.
Of course, the car owner may have already turned to ashes!
Of course, none of these are the main issues. The main issue is that the car's license plate had long been destroyed by Lin Fan, and even the front bumper still had half a steel bar hanging from it. It looked like a hit-and-run.
"Checking the vehicle?"
Lin Jianguo squinted and looked at the roadblock ahead through the windshield.
"trouble."
He uttered two words, then turned to Lin Fan, "Will you stop for inspection?"
Lin Fan blinked: "I don't have a driver's license."
That's it.
Lin Jianguo leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and a wild smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
"If you don't have a driver's license, why are you parking your car?"
"Charge!"
Three simple words.
The old man's words carried an air of self-assured dominance.
It also corrupted the children.
Lin Fan was delighted upon hearing this.
He was just waiting to hear those words!
"Alright!"
"Hold on tight!"
A glint of excited red light flashed in Lin Fan's eyes.
As it turns out, if you want to learn to drive, all those theory courses and the written test are complete nonsense.
Only when you're on the road and step on the gas will you realize how simple driving can be.
Shift gears.
Rush the gas pedal.
The tachometer instantly spiked to red.
Make a scene!
Om-! ! !
The roar of the massive engine instantly drowned out all the surrounding noise.
Before the private car owners in front could react, they felt the ground shake.
Followed by.
The black Raptor pickup truck, like a wild beast unleashed, launched itself directly from the emergency lane!
"Oh! Shit! Who's that?!"
"Are you crazy? There are police officers up ahead!"
Under the horrified gaze of countless people.
The Raptor pickup truck showed no sign of slowing down; on the contrary, it sped up even more.
One hundred yards...one hundred and twenty...one hundred and fifty!
The police ahead also spotted the reckless pickup truck.
"Stop the car! Stop the car immediately!!"
A sheriff shouted through a megaphone while signaling his men to aim their guns.
however.
The car acted as if it hadn't heard anything and drove straight into the roadblock.
"Fuck! Fire! Fire!!"
The sheriff screamed in terror.
The surrounding police officers also instinctively fired at the pickup truck.
Da da da da!
A hail of bullets struck the Raptor's vehicle, sending sparks flying.
But these bullets were like a tickle to both the pickup truck and the people sitting inside.
They completely ignored him!
The pickup truck was getting closer and closer to them, just as the front of the truck was about to crash into the police car.
Lin Fan suddenly turned the steering wheel sharply to the left.
"Get out of here!!"
One of the Raptor pickup truck's wheels ran over a roadside boulder.
Then the entire pickup truck was lifted into the air.
It looked like a large black bird, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
They drove right past those police cars that were parked across the road!
Of course, this is only possible because of Lin Fan and his son. If it were an ordinary person, they would never dare to drive like this.
This moment.
Time seemed to stand still.
The police officers below looked up, mouths agape, as the massive pickup truck flew overhead.
They could even see the young, Asian driver in the cab, flashing them a bright white smile and making an extremely arrogant peace sign.
Boom!
The pickup truck landed heavily.
The shock absorbers groaned in pain, and the four wheels kicked up thick white smoke as they rubbed against the ground.
But it didn't stop.
The moment he landed, Lin Fan floored the accelerator again.
With a flick of the tail, the car executed a beautiful drift to straighten itself and then sped away!
All that was left was a group of dumbfounded police officers and a mess of spent bullet casings.
"..."
A deathly silence.
Several seconds passed before the sheriff snapped back to reality and roared hysterically:
"Chase!!!"
"Attention all units! A black Ford Raptor has forcibly broken through the checkpoint!!"
"Extremely dangerous! Repeat! Extremely dangerous!!"
"Requesting air support!!"
……
on the road.
Looking at the flashing red and blue lights in the rearview mirror, Lin Fan was not nervous at all; instead, he laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! Old Lin! Did you see that?!"
"How many points would you give that leap out of ten?"
Lin Jianguo was fiddling with the car radio when he heard this, and without looking up, he said:
"Three points."
"Only three points?!" Lin Fan protested. "These were real, hard-earned special moves!"
"The landing was so hard it almost made me throw up everything I was eating."
Lin Jianguo tuned to a rock channel, and with the energetic heavy metal music playing, he started swaying his head to the rhythm.
Make a scene, make a scene...
"and……"
He pointed to the rearview mirror, "You have a string of tails following you, and you call that good driving skills?"
Lin Fan turned around and looked.
At least seven or eight police cars were following him, their sirens blaring, relentlessly pursuing him.
"cut!"
Lin Fan curled his lip. "It's just a few police cars. If they want to play, then let's play along!"
"I've even escaped a five-star wanted level in Los Santos, what am I afraid of?"
But he had barely finished speaking when...
A Dodge police car, with its superior performance, had caught up to the side of the Raptor.
The police officer in the police car drove while shouting through a megaphone:
"Pull over! Otherwise we'll crash!!"
Lin Fan rolled down the car window and shouted at the policeman:
"I don't understand! I'm illiterate!!"
police:"……"
next second.
The police car suddenly swerved to the right, attempting to ram the raptor's rear wheel in an attempt to force it to a stop.
"Playing dirty tricks?"
Lin Fan sneered.
Just as the police car was about to crash into him, instead of dodging, he slammed on the brakes.
squeak--!
The speed of the raptors dropped sharply.
The police car missed its intended spot and crashed directly into the raptor's incredibly sturdy bumper.
But it's not over yet.
At the moment of braking, Lin Fan suddenly swerved the steering wheel to the left.
Bang! !
The massive vehicle, propelled by inertia, slammed against the side of the police car.
That poor Dodge police car looked like a Chihuahua that had been bumped by an elephant.
The situation was immediately out of control.
It circled three times on the highway before crashing into the roadside guardrail with a loud "bang," emitting black smoke.
"First Blood!"
Lin Fan let out a strange cry.
"childish."
Although Lin Jianguo complained, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
He even put his arm on the car window and waved to the furious police officers behind him.
His actions undoubtedly drew hatred towards Lin Fan.
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
"Knock them over!!"
Two more police cars then flanked them from the left and right.
at this time.
The roar of propellers echoed from the sky.
A helicopter bearing a police insignia appeared in the sky above the highway.
The black raptors locked onto Lin Fan and his companions.
"Listen up, vehicles below! You are surrounded!"
"Stop immediately! Or we will use deadly force!!"
The sniper on the helicopter had already set up his gun.
Faced with this inescapable net.
Lin Fan was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he was even more excited.
He turned to look at Lin Jianguo, his eyes flashing with a crazed light.
"Old Lin!"
"How so?"
Lin Jianguo looked up at the helicopter overhead.
"What do you mean?"
He grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.
"This is a free country, so of course we should do whatever makes us happy..."
