PFRG: Chapter 110

After the project trailer came out, it was obvious that the DNA of many viewers in the live stream room was moved with empathy.

Of course, some people were confused. Someone directly gave an explanation on the barrage. [Is there anyone who doesn’t know this? To put it simply, the unilateral bridge project is to arrange a narrow bridge with a width similar to the tires on each side of the road. Then when passing the bridge on the left and right sides, use the corresponding single-sided wheel to press it down. Ensure that the car can pass correctly while the other wheel is still on the ground!]

[This seems like it will be difficult.]

[It isn’t just seems. I don’t know how many people failed in this project back then. It was simply a driver’s license killer!]

[Indeed, I couldn’t get my driver’s license before coming here, and this project was half responsible for that.]

[I’m confused. I’m getting a headache just by listening to it.]

[Hiss, if it is already so difficult in the real world, then won’t it be incredibly difficult here?]

It wasn’t known who made this final sigh, but it turned out to be a prophecy.

Through the images displayed in the live stream room, the changes on the track were clearly seen by all viewers.

The few live stream rooms that could clearly see the situation were instantly covered by overwhelming exclamation marks.

In contrast, it was found that it was indeed as the audience said during the lecture. There were narrow bridges slightly higher than the road surface in the distance, some on the left and some on the right. They were staggered on both sides of the road, quietly waiting for the arrival of the test vehicle.

It really seemed like a scene from a driver’s license test that many people were familiar with. Even the texture of the material used to construct the single-sided bridge was exactly the same as in the real world. However, all the comments in the live stream room suddenly stopped.

It disappeared.

From the point where the first left-side single-sided bridge appeared in front of them, the smooth road that was supposed to allow the right wheel to continue driving disappeared completely without any warning.

Just like the road that disappeared around the S-shaped curve before, the originally calm and open road section came to an abrupt end. Suddenly, only a bottomless abyss was left under the disappeared road, waiting there quietly as if to swallow up everything that came rushing towards it.

The process of passing the S-shaped curve might’ve been thrilling, but at least there was a road to let them know where to go. At this moment, the two people on the field had no way out except the single-sided bridge suspended in the air.

Drive directly onto these sections of the single-sided bridges?

Forget about supporting the entire body of the go-kart. The width of such a narrow bridge alone could only allow the tires on one side to pass through. At a slightly tilted angle, it was enough to send the entire vehicle into the abyss.

A dead end.

It was a complete dead end.

It was just like the result of getting off course on the S-shaped curve before. The result of falling was bound to be no body left, but if they didn’t continue to move forward—it was obvious that they were bound to violate the rules of the game seen before.

No one spoke in the live stream room for a long time.

All the spectators subconsciously held their breath, wanting to see what would happen to the two people on the track. What type of choice should be made in such a dead end?

In the live stream room, they could see Miao Zhou’s pale face in front of the camera.

The moment he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he felt that the beating in his chest was almost drowning out the sharp sound of the wind beside his ears. His pupils subconsciously shrank, and his gaze was fixed on the abyss that was getting closer and closer.

As he gradually closed the distance, the muscles all over his body tensed uncontrollably to the extreme. He knew without even looking that his expression must be filled with fear. He had just managed to escape the S-curve at the cost of his personal skill. He couldn’t help recalling the fear of facing death.

Before he knew it, he tried to glance at the shadow behind him countless times.

Just a few seconds ago, Miao Zhou was still feeling proud.

After all, the price was the consumption of Death Substitute but at least he was still a long way ahead of the member of the Dawn team after getting rid of that difficulty. In this way, he just had to maintain this advantage for the rest of the race, and he would be ahead by a long enough time at the end of the first lap.

However, in just a few seconds, the smile on Miao Zhou’s face disappeared in an instant.

The track became narrower and narrower and gradually converged into that final path.

In this way, compared to the red go-kart of the Dawn team, he would undoubtedly be the first one to enter the section of the unilateral bridge in front of him. He would become a demonstration sample of trial and error.

He would die.

If he couldn’t find any other way and just rushed forward, he would definitely die!

Miao Zhou had lost his Death Substitute personal skill, which meant he no longer had a second life. He didn’t have the confidence he had at the beginning.

His face was pale, and his hands holding the steering wheel started to shake uncontrollably.

The tension brought by the rapid surge of adrenaline made Miao Zhou seem to hear the roar of an engine not far behind him.

The sweat that slid down his forehead had unknowingly spread all over his face. His foot on the accelerator loosened slightly. By the time he reacted, he realized that he had subconsciously reduced his speed.

Miao Zhou secretly gulped. He seemed to catch the sound of the engine getting closer behind him from the sound of his heartbeat that was going to jump out of his chest.

It was getting closer.

Closer.

Yes, that’s it. Hurry and surpass him!

Miao Zhou’s wide-opened eyes were bloodshot due to excessive nervousness. The corners of his mouth twitched and rose.

At this moment, speed was no longer important. Instead of finishing the race faster, he hoped that the guy from the Dawn team could overtake him as soon as possible and enter the unilateral bridge earlier than him.

It might not be useful but even someone going over there to die first would allow him to have a better chance of finding clues to pass this level as long as he observed from the rear.

Soon, the smile that Miao Zhou just showed completely froze on his face.

He discovered that the red go-kart, which had been chasing him relentlessly, chose to slow down when it could overtake him at any time.

After becoming aware of this, a chill spread all over his body in an instant.

Miao Zhou almost crushed his teeth together.

The member of the Dawn team also deliberately slowed down. Similarly, the other party wanted to use him as a stepping stone for the trial and error.

The scene on the field was transmitted to the monitoring room through the camera.

Qu Leng’s expression was still calm as he stood in front of the screen. But it was precisely this expression that made the other players of the Jazz team not even dare to breathe.

Only Diao Baiwei, who had a frown on her face, spoke up in such an atmosphere. “Miao Zhou was too hasty earlier. If he hadn’t been so anxious to distance himself, he wouldn’t be led by the opponent now. Now he wants the opponent to make a mistake first. The people of the Dawn team are obviously not fools. They obviously can’t agree to this.”

“Whether others agree or not is their business.” Qu Leng’s gaze fell on the car on the screen, which was obviously on an unstable path. There was no smile on his face, and his expression behind the glasses looked particularly cold. “What I am more worried about now is whether Miao Zhou will be frightened by himself.”

Diao Baiwei paused slightly. “Captain, what do you mean…?”

“The rules say that you can’t stop by the roadside.” The light reflected from Qu Leng’s glasses made his expression even more ambiguous. “When you remain calm enough, everyone understands this principle. But what if you are extremely scared? If Death Substitute was still available, I don’t doubt that he could handle the current situation relatively calmly. However, he has just used up his skill. Miao Zhou’s biggest problem is that he relies too much on this survival skill. Once he enters a situation like this where he will die if he makes a mistake, he…”

Diao Baiwei’s expression became a bit subtle for a moment. “If he continues to move forward, there might be a glimmer of hope. But if he breaks the rules and stops to get off, he is doomed to die unless the rule itself is wrong. It is too risky to completely rely on this rule being wrong. Miao Zhou shouldn’t make such a low-level mistake, right?”

“I said, under normal circumstances, he will never commit such a crime.” Qu Leng narrowed his eyes slightly. “What I am afraid of is the human instinct for survival that sometimes can’t be controlled by reason at all.”

At this time, someone in the red team’s surveillance area also spoke.

It was precisely because Yue Ren didn’t look afraid at all that Ji Xingque was confused. “Captain, why did he suddenly slow down? Will it be easier to pass this way?”

Chi Ting said, “…It has nothing to do with passing.”

“Then what is it?”

Chi Ting looked at the blue go-kart not far ahead. He lowered his eyes and pinched his eyebrows without answering.

It had nothing to do with being afraid or not. With Yue Ren’s personality that wouldn’t tolerate any loss, it was obvious that he had made another thorough calculation.

The roar of the engine continued to be heard from the field.

As the abyss in front of him got closer and closer, Miao Zhou was sweating profusely and could feel that every cell in his body seemed to be trembling.

He couldn’t get over it.

There was no road at all. It was absolutely impossible to get through.

But if he didn’t go, it meant…

Miao Zhou’s feet trembled and shivered on the brake pad. Then he withdrew his strength using his last remaining sanity.

He felt a voice in his head frantically shouting at him to stop, stop, stop. He hysterically had to remind himself that he couldn’t break the rules.

However, the abyss was getting closer and closer. It was like a huge black mouth with its fangs bared, waiting to devour him.

Miao Zhou gasped rapidly and stared intently at the gap that he would soon arrive at. He felt cold all over. He felt like he was almost on the verge of going completely crazy.

A voice of reason tried his best to keep him driving, but just as he was about to rush out of the broken road, a sharp and piercing sound abruptly cut through the void.

The series of violent vibrations seemed to break his bones apart. With a burst of thick smoke and a few uncontrolled turns, the sharp sound of the wind in his ears completely stopped.

The blue go-kart emitted thick smoke as it stopped steadily on the road.

The fear of death ultimately prevented Miao Zhou from overcoming the barrier in his heart.

In the sudden silence, Miao Zhou lay on the steering wheel and coughed repeatedly in a panic.

It wasn’t until he heard another guest of wind whistling past that he came back to his senses from his trance-like state.

The moment he looked up, he saw that the red go-kart, which had been deliberately slowing down behind him, suddenly accelerated and came roaring towards him in an instant.

Miao Zhou was dazed again when he saw such a carefree and unrestrained figure.

What was going on? Wasn’t this car following him and waiting for him to make a mistake?

Shouldn’t he feel scared at all? Why did he suddenly speed up after Miao Zhou stopped the car?

As if to confirm his gaze, the moment they passed each other, Miao Zhou clearly saw the mask of the red helmet being lifted up and revealing Yue Ren’s smiling face.

The neat goodbye gesture was indescribably casual and unrestrained. It was obvious that he wasn’t prepared to wait for Miao Zhou’s response. He just put the mask back on and drove the red go-kart away without looking back.

Instead of slowing down, he increased it straight to the extreme speed. The roaring engine sound instantly spread throughout the entire stadium.

The scene that was in stark contrast to Miao Zhou entered their eyes. Qu Leng stood in front of the screen and said indifferently, “We lost this round.”

He glanced at the blue go-kart that was still emitting smoke and lowered his eyes slightly. “But… since you have made a mistake once, you should know not to make it a second time, right, Miao Zhou?”

As if hearing these words, Miao Zhou’s originally confused expression gradually subsided.

Finally, a clear murderous intent appeared in his eyes when he looked at the figure speeding away.
