Chapter 41: Tokyo Drift (11)
3:00 a.m., on a street somewhere in Tokyo.
The roar of the engine broke the silence of the night.
More than a dozen colorful modified cars gathered in front of the long-defunct shop, and a group of punk-clad street bombers arrived with their hotly dressed little girlfriends, chatting and farting while waiting for someone.
Five minutes later, the target appeared.
A blue Impreza WRX pulled up in front of the garbage can, and the driver of the car pushed the door and stepped out of it.
As if shocked by the momentum of his single-handed meeting, everyone stopped what they were doing, and no one dared to look at the comer, until half a minute later, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded, ", Ito Ken, Kainima high beam!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The driver, Ken Ito, apologized and leaned back into the car to turn off the lights, so everyone could finally see the visitor's face.
This is a guy with a green broom on his head, with a cold expression like an iceberg on his face, there are so many people in front of him, but there is only one person in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, "Kentaro Inoue, why are you calling me out so late?" ”
"It's nothing important, it's just that the title of the Meteor should be changed." The one who spoke was a man in a jacket sleeping with his eyes closed on the roof of the car, and his little girlfriend was gently feeding him grapes.
"Forget it, you're just a defeated of my men." Ito said disdainfully.
"Bastard, look down on people less!! I'm not the same now! The man in the jacket opened his eyes, like a tiger awakened, his eyes burned with fierce fighting intent, "This time bet on all the dignity of a man, and I won't lose to you again!" ”
As if feeling the heart conveyed by the other side, Ito Ken's iceberg couldn't help but be moved, and he was silent for a long time and said, "I understand, Inoue-kun, then let's use speed to speak." ”
With that, both of them returned to their respective cars, and Kentaro Inoue's little girlfriend walked up to the two vehicles, pulled out her bra and threw it over her head amid the cheers and whistles of the crowd.
The moment the bra hit the ground, the two cars sped out in unison.
Ken Ito and Kentaro Inoue are old rivals, both of them have good family backgrounds, their fathers have business dealings, they were originally friends who played together since childhood, and it was Kentaro Inoue who brought him closer to this circle at first, but later as Kentaro Ito's driving skills continued to improve, until he surpassed his friends, Kentaro Inoue, who had a good face, had some unbearable faces.
In the end, the friendship between the two did not stand up to this test and drifted apart.
Over the years, Kentaro Inoue has come to challenge him a lot, but he has always lost more and won less, but Ito Ken did not despise the other party because of this, because Kentaro Inoue always has something to improve every time he comes, whether it is racing or technology, it brings him a lot of threats.
Therefore, Ito Ken also had to be 100% mentally coping.
Come on, let me see what you've learned this time.
Ito Ken thought as he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
The two cars alternated leads.
However, the next moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and saw an earthy yellow van coming out of nowhere at the intersection like a ghost out of the night.
Worst! Why are there still vehicles on the road at such a late hour!!
Cold sweat broke out on Ito's forehead, he didn't have time to react at such a fast speed at such a close distance, seeing the tragedy of a car crash and death, and he knew that Kentaro Inoue, who was on par with him, was probably the same despair in his heart.
As a result, he immediately saw the most unforgettable scene in his life, only to see that the broken van did not have any intention of slowing down at all, and was like a wild bull coming straight towards him.
When the cars were less than five meters apart, the L300 suddenly flicked its tail, and the body moved sideways under the action of inertia, and the distance between the doors was less than 1 cm when the two sides were closer.
Ito's hairs exploded, but the driver in the L300 was only holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand was still turning over something.
Chewing gum?
At the moment of staggering, Ito Ken saw clearly what the other party was holding, and felt that his brain was completely insufficient.
What the heck?! Ito couldn't help but lose his voice, was he still rummaging through the gum in this situation, and what made him even more unbelievable happened in the back, and then the L300 accelerated, overtaking his WRX, and there was no intersection in front of him, but the broken bread turned again without warning, and disappeared into the alley that was almost as wide and narrow as the body.
There were only two cars left in the race, but the speed was getting slower and slower, and finally they both stopped, and Kentaro Ito and Kentaro Inoue stepped out of the cars and looked at each other.
"Is it more comparable?" After a while, Ito Ken spoke.
“…………”
"I can't even run a delivery truck, so what's the point of comparing it." Kentaro Inoue was excited, "You can keep the title of Meteor, I plan to quit this circle and go back to inherit the family business." ”
“…… I'm actually going to study in Europe after this one. Ito Ken said frankly.
"Really?" Kentaro Inoue was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately sighed, "Speaking of which, we haven't talked like this for many years." ”
The two glanced at each other and said in unison, "Why don't you have a drink?" ”
Zhang Heng didn't know that because of himself, a man lost his racing dream, and he didn't know that because of him, the two men regained their old friendship.
For him, it's just a repetition of the daily delivery life, Tokyo is known as the drift capital, and there are the most modified car enthusiasts in the world, and as mentioned in the background introduction, these guys are generally active at night, and Zhang Heng occasionally encounters some drag racing parties when he delivers goods.
The vast majority of them are amateurs like Ken Ito and Kentaro Inoue, and they happily come to a so-called men's duel just by finding an excuse for secondary two, and he doesn't have time to wait for these guys to compete in a duel, and they are directly overtaken in order to meet in a hurry.
This is the ninth month of his learning to drive, and a month ago he completed the drift practice set by Toru Takeda for him, and the car's driving skills have been upgraded from LV1 to LV2, in addition, the maintenance modification has also been upgraded to LV1, and now this car is completely different from when he first took over, and the core configuration inside has been changed from head to toe by him, but the shell is still the shell of the L300.
Zhang Heng was not afraid that others would not know that he was a modified car like other drivers, so he painted his appearance colorfully, after all, the funds in his hands were limited.
He had to work another job to buy spare parts, and Toru Takeda introduced him to a small owner of a scrap car yard, where all his parts were found at a fairly low price, but even then it took him four months to assemble the L300.
Now Zhang Heng is not what it used to be, he delivered all the goods an hour ahead of schedule, and drove back to Takeda Aquatic Products, but he saw billowing smoke across the street.
Zhang Heng realized that something was wrong, he parked the car on the side of the road, and while calling the fire department to call the police, he picked up the recurve bow he used for self-defense from the back seat.
