Chapter 421 - A Tornado (2/2)
It didn’t stop Xiao Luo at all, and as Trumpchi continued to accelerate, the engine started to roar like a beast at it homed in on the inner lane.
“Please, God… and Gods of all faiths, please bestow upon me your divine protection and save this poor soul!”
Su Canye shut his eyes and gritted his teeth in terror. He held on tightly to the handrail, and just like most men in the face of extreme danger, he started to pray to the Gods he so often neglected.
Back at the foot of the Wild Wolf Mountain, the large screen showed the Trumpchi speeding into Devil’s Corner. The commentator could immediately guess what it was trying to do. “Here’s our Dark Horse, the Trumpchi, once again! It’s literally flying into Devil’s corner, look at that speed… and it looks like it wants to repeat that beautiful maneuver again, drifting through the inner lane, but it seems to me this time the speed is a tad too quick. Can he make it?”
Just as he finished speaking, the Trumpchi’s rear swung forward as it initiated the drift…
The commentator got back on the mic, his voice louder this time as he spoke with more urgency. “Okay, the Trumpchi has started to drift into the curve now. He powers over and uses his clutch to induce drift, that’s how he does it. Look at that control… it’s sliding perfectly, and he needs quick hands to control the steering wheel, very little room for error there,” the commentator explained, “What a beau… oh, wait, there’s a situation here. Oh, no, the left wheels are off the ground! Oh my god, how could this happen? Did he steer into the turn too early? Didn’t the last time go pretty smoothly?”
Suddenly, everyone’s attention was on the screen, and they all held their breaths in trepidation.
The left wheels of Trumpchi started to lift higher off the ground, then without any warning, the entire car flipped over the outer guardrail and flew off the cliff.
“Oh, my God! It’s bad, the Trumpchi has flipped over the cliff, and it’s at least a four hundred meters fall; even an immortal would not survive if he fell from there. Oh my God, let’s pray for the best—may our legend be safe tonight!” The commentator grieved, for when he saw the Trumpchi flying off the cliff, he could hardly control the emotion in his voice. Even as a commentator, he somehow had a strong personal attachment to the Trumpchi.
The Trumpchi is done for!
Falling off the cliff meant instant death, and nobody could save them, not even a legion of immortals.
But, things took a shocking turn, for the Trumpchi did not plummet to the bottom as everyone thought, but started spinning like a tornado towards the other side of the road. It seemed like it had spun off by leveraging on the rotational force of the flip.
“Oh my gosh, I…w-what did I just witnessed here? The Trumpchi is flying in the air; it’s like something out of an anime flick—like ‘Bakusō Kyōdai Let’s & Go!’ It’s like Victory Magnum’s ‘Magnum Tornado!’” the commentator raved. He was hysterical, screaming excitedly into the mic with his voice trembling from shock and disbelief.
The crowd was in a stupor and was completely dumbfounded. Whether at Wild Wolf Mountain of following through the online forum, no one could believe what they saw, and they all just started cheering hysterically. They had all just witnessed a miracle!
“What did I just see, the Trumpchi…it was leaping over the cliff!”
“A divine being must have taken control of the steering wheel of this Trumpchi, it must be!”
“Is this actually an acrobatic car show?”
When they all witnessed could only happen in the movies, or so they thought, until tonight. This was unprecedented and simply unbelievable.
The commentator quickly regained his senses and got on the mic again. “There’s a U-shaped curve right after the Devil’s corner, and the road after the bend is only twenty meters away from where the Trumpchi went over. If the Trumpchi can somehow land on that road, it would find itself at least two hundred meters ahead of Queen and Wolf King… from last to first place. Oh, my gosh, this is insane!”
