The truck accelerated. I glanced at the conveyer belt area of the 'intestines' area, then the waste materials on it scattered on the ground due to the collision with the car.
The first barrier is the guardhouse at the exit of the construction site.
”The truck over there, stop!”
The speaker barked out an order for us to stop. The automatic gate descended, and cone-shaped road blocks blocked us.
”People who are in our way will be squashed into pancakes!”
Lilith said her over-enthusiastic words, did not stop, but accelerated the truck instead.
”Uwaa, whoa! We're hitting them!”
We collided at the moment when I shouted. Quite a few road barriers were rammed away, the wooden pole of the lever snapped as well, and that was how the truck directly went past the first barrier.
”Hmph, piece of cake!” Lilith said. Holding the steering wheel, a radiant glow was glimmering in her eyes, and a scary smile as though she changed into another person surfaced on her lips. Sitting beside her, I could only shout 'Ah, uwaaaa.......”, frantically putting on the safety belt. The truck rocked violently, I've already b.u.mped into the top of the car three times.
The truck ran on the gravel road like a mad horse that lost its reins, arriving quickly at a normal road.
”Lilith!”
”What is it!”
”Would everyone be able to run away safely?”
”Who knows! But we've done everything that we could! The rest would be their own responsibility! ...... That's right, Iris!”
”What is it?”
”Do you think cars can fly?”
”...... What?”
”Second barrier!”
A signboard with 'No Entry' written on it was in front of us, and there was also a large, deep pit on the road. If we rush over there like this, we'd definitely fall into it.
”B- Brake!” I immediately hugged my head.
”We'll lose if we stop!” Lilith continued to accelerate the car.
”Hey, Lilith!?”
At the instant when I shouted, the huge 'no entry' signboard collided with the truck, while the truck used the soil dug out from the pit as a springboard, flying onto the sky— then fell back onto the ground with a large bang.
”It's done!”
Lilith shouted happily after perfectly flying past the pit. This really can't be said as driving carelessly anymore.
”Iris, turn on the radio!”
”Didn't bring it!”
”No, the radio on the car! Press that b.u.t.ton!”
”I- is this it?”
”That's the emergency warning light! Below that, that's right, that one!”
I hurriedly pressed the b.u.t.ton of the radio. White noise started to echo in the car.
