Chapter 14: Death Race (1)
"Duck, what are you doing! It's been more than two hours, and you're still circling the port? Now all the exits are blocked! You're going to be turned out sooner or later!"
From early afternoon to dusk, during the team chat, George called out anxiously to Duck over and over again, but Duck never responded.
"What the hell is this guy doing!" George said hatefully, "We don't have any advantage here except for technology, once he falls into the hands of the Holy Cathars, there is only one way to die, do you want us to raid the Holy Cathars' lair to save people?"
Feta felt very guilty about Dark's affair, because her partner's subordinates were accidentally involved in her son's troubles. He had already grounded Ibrahim – to protect him, of course.
Fida ordered his men to look around for news of Dark, but found nothing, and after listening to George's words, he advised, "Although there is no news of the faithful guard, the Cathars have not caught him either. He must have been clever in hiding. ”
Riley said, "Isn't there a way to escape from the port now?"
Feida said: "The port has been closed, and ships are not allowed to enter or leave, and the sea route is definitely not allow......ed;
George said: "Land transportation, Mr. Feida is second to none, all camels, stagecoaches, horses, flying carpets are operated by his subordinates, if he has no news, others will not have news." ”
Feida was suddenly stunned: "All of them, no, no, there is one thing, I can't control it, no one can control it." ”
"Oh?
"It's about the flying carpet, death racing!"
At this time, Duck and Nibali are following Matedy into a dark and deep alley, and deep in the alley, there is a small café with shabby decoration but a good door.
"Teddy Ma, how do you have time to play racing today? Welcome, welcome, welcome. At the bar, a waiter greeted Teddy with a smile.
Ma Teddy looked stupid: "Don't mention it! The wind is not smooth, and I opened three times in a row, and my pants are about to lose!"
The waiter laughed: "Don't play with a good blanket, go play with dice!" It doesn't matter, the hand wind is not smooth, this time it must be developed, come and come, is it a bet or a game?"
This is a registration point for the Black Market Flying Carpet Death Race, and on the way there, Teddy tells Duck about his escape plan.
The Holy Protectors are very fast, and they have already laid a wide net, and it is dangerous to escape by land or sea. However, there is one way to try your luck, and that is the Black Market Flying Carpet Death Race.
Flying carpet racing is officially designated as a legal sport in Arabi, but many people wanted to have a kind of uninhibited, uninhibited racing, and so the black market racing was born.
There are no rules, no security protections, and no one is held accountable!
The highest-end flying carpet, the sharpest driving skills, the most ferocious competition, the hottest beauties - the unveiled, flesh-revealing beauties!
Wealthy merchants, gangsters, mercenaries, and even some officials joined in, and every two to three days, at midnight, the shrill whistling of the flying carpet breaking through the air would resound over the port of Umlim, announcing the beginning of a feast of speed.
Whether it's the patrol or the Holy Protectors, there is nothing they can do about these daring guys. Many of the contestants have strong backgrounds, either bright or dark, and they can't touch them; the senior leaders of the patrol team and the bigwigs of the Holy Guardian Army can get a lot of filial piety every month; the flying carpets that roar back and forth are all modified, and the assault flying carpets used by the military are equipped with up to three magic energy cores, and the flying carpets modified by these outlaws have actually reached six of them, how can they chase them?
Let these bastards all crash to death on the dunes.
Countless people cursed like this, but the black market flying carpet race never stopped, even if there were casualties in each race.
"Listen," said Teddy solemnly to the two scourge stars before coming, "There is a track called Scorpion Tail in the Death Race, which leads to the Thunder Demon Dunes northwest of the harbor, which is inaccessible, and we can take this opportunity to get out of the city." ”
Duck interjected, "There are still tracks flying in the sky?"
"Of course, the flying carpet must fly according to the route, in case any of them pass over the barracks ...... long-sighted"
"Understood. The people who participate in this kind of black market competition must be anonymous guys, let's pretend to participate and slip away halfway?"
"That's right. But the stakes are high. There are no rules for death racing, so don't let people hack to death. ”
"And a knife cut?"
"Slaughtering all your opponents is also a way to win!"
"You guys really know how to play. ”
So, Matedi led two flying carpet rookies to the "Happy Hell" café and rang the "Competition" bell on the bar.
The waiter looked at the form pushed by Ma Teddy, and his eyes lit up suddenly: "Scorpion Tail Track? Ma Teddy, you are a regular customer, are you not joking with me?"
"No, Lao Tzu lost his red eye, fight a big one! Just tonight, a soft blanket, three lives, competition!"
The waiter gave a thumbs up: "Ruthless enough!" However, I can remind you that there have been eighteen groups of people who have signed up for this track tonight, and none of them are good stubble, two hundred dinars, and the information will be taken. ”
Martedi squinted his eyes: "Come with me?"
"If you have a life, you have to have a life, right? One hundred and sixteen, it can't be less. ”
After some haggling, it was finally sold for one hundred and twelve dinars. The waiter threw a plate marked "19" to Teddy, who grabbed the number plate and led the two rookies to the maintenance room. While briefing them on the equipment.
The flying carpet is the most commonly used means of transportation for the Alaba people, which can be divided into two kinds according to the material: soft blanket and hard blanket, the soft blanket is lightweight, flexible in operation and fast in speed, and the hard blanket is heavy, heavy in load and good in protection. The flying carpet used by Teddy is a soft blanket.
If divided by the number of crew members, there are three types of flying carpets that participate in the death race: three, eight, and twelve. The fastest and most intense battle of all is the trio.
Teddy said, "The common combination is a Flying Carpet Champion and two Warriors. The Flying Carpet Master is responsible for piloting and maintaining the Flying Carpet's magical core, and the warriors are responsible for dealing with enemies. ”
Nibali said, "Destroy the opponent's magic energy core with a long-range weapon, won't it be able to fly?"
"Others think the same way, and they will also use long-range fire back. The magic energy core is protected by special equipment, and besides, can it be so accurate under high-speed movement?"
"It's no problem to suppress two rapid-shooter crossbows, right?"
"There are three people in total, two ranged, and when you suppress each other, the other teams skip over a fighter, and it's all over. ”
"Hmm...... This one...... How about a mage?"
"The mage's physique is not good, with such a high speed, it is difficult to complete the chant smoothly, and the asking price is also high, so it is better to strengthen the flying carpet with that money. ”
"We're a perfect match right now," Duck said. It's not about competing for a place, it's good to be able to protect yourself. ”
Teddy said: "When it comes to driving a take-off blanket, of course I have no problem, but its magic energy may not be enough, after all, it is a short-range passenger flying carpet, not for professional racing." We had to deal with the opponents, and we had to leave some of them for running, so we were nervous. ”
"How do you replenish your magic energy?"
"There is a special magic energy supply station, pull out the charging cable, connect the socket, and it will be filled in about six hours. Or directly replace the magic core, that thing will cost more than 10,000 to say the least. ”
"How long does the current magic energy last?"
"Normal driving is about 12 hours, and if you change direction repeatedly, speed up and decelerate, it is estimated that two hours is the limit. Minimize fighting. Come on, the maintenance room is here, let's arrange the tactics. ”
As night fell, the stars were shining, and Umlim Harbour fell asleep.
Suddenly, the sharp sound of the flying carpet breaking through the air pierced the silence of the night, and more than ten flying carpet meteors crossed the night sky, and the race to death began!
As soon as the night patrol raised his head, a sharp whistling sound and a violent air flow swept overhead, blowing away his turban, and he waved his baton and cursed, and at the same time went to pick up the turban, and when he picked it up, he was surprised to find that there was no one whose blood had been glued to it, and there was still half an ear in the folds, and he immediately jumped to his feet and cursed.
Darker clutched the safety rope tightly, grasped the Yatai Gan knife with one hand, inhaled deeply and exhaled, and adopted a half-kneeling position, staring at the flying carpet next to him, and the same was true for Nibali on the far right.
"We must not be left behind, and of course we must not fly first, try not to attract the attention of others. Stay in the back half of the line, stick to the outside of the harbor, and slip away! Warriors beware of the enemy on both flanks!"
After them, three more groups participated, making a total of twenty-two groups. Twenty-two groups, flying together, three groups were completely destroyed.
Matedi didn't take off in a hurry, and the take-off phase was the most dangerous and problem-prone time.
Sure enough, there were three groups of newcomers who relied on the new technology of the flying carpet and rushed out with the operation rope. Without waiting for Nibali to ask, a flying carpet next to her, which also did not take off, gave an order, and the two guards on the left and right took out a portable shoulder-mounted magic cannon with a cruel smile at the same time, booming twice, three groups, and nine lives were reimbursed.
A piece of intestines was not far from Nibali, causing her to burst into a surge of blood and almost vomit.
"This is a death race, this is a damn death race!"
The Flying Carpet Guardian whistled, and the two guards casually threw away the portable cannon worth thousands of gold, grabbed the operating rope, and soared into the air, roaring away. Before leaving, he spit out a mouthful of old thick phlegm, if it weren't for Matey's fast flash, this mouthful would have been spit on his face.
A cold light flashed in Ma Teddy's eyes: "People are stupid and skilled, and they dare to mess with Lao Tzu? Guys, hurry up!"
The passenger blanket took off into the air and chased after it. There were two more groups behind them, and they didn't float until they started to pick up, and they made up their minds to be first and second to last.
Duck hurriedly said, "Are you okay with this flying carpet? I see that their blankets are all thin and long, and you are wide and flat!"
"They're for racing, and they've changed it themselves; ”
Darker was speechless for a while: "What's the good of you?"
"It's comfortable to sit and lie on your stomach!"
"Huh?"
"It's not in the blankets, it's in the people! Tonight, I'll open your eyes!"
