Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1638 - 1635: Lost Track
Zhao Weitao was originally thinking about humiliating Lin Tian on the road, and naturally couldn’t stand being overtaken. Without the two women’s reminders, he had already stepped on the accelerator. The car engine instantly emitted a deep roar, and that vigorous sound made men feel blood boiling. This is one of the reasons men love sports cars.
The Ferrari, like a red phantom, sped out at high speed, quickly closing the distance with Lin Tian, close enough that they could see He Xiaofei and the others inside the car through the glass.
"Overtake them, overtake them!" The two women in the back seat shouted again, that excited expression was as they said—speed and passion.
Although Zhao Weitao and Liu Yuansi didn’t shout, both showed confident smiles. They knew overtaking once again was just a matter of another stomp on the accelerator.
Thinking this, Zhao Weitao, full of confidence, stepped on the accelerator. The Ferrari accelerated again, victory in overtaking was just ahead, and then they could keep hanging in front to continue humiliating Lin Tian behind.
However, Zhao Weitao was dumbfounded. After stepping on the accelerator, not only did he not close the distance, instead, it got further and further, even making him mistake the accelerator for the brakes.
He looked at the speed display on the windshield. The numbers kept increasing. Clearly, he was stepping on the accelerator, and the speed was increasing, but no matter how much he increased, the distance kept getting farther.
"Brother Zhao, what are you doing, not speeding up to catch them! The front is a straight road, straight road, Brother Zhao." Liu Yuansi looked at Zhao Weitao strangely and shouted loudly, "If it’s spread that a Ferrari sports car lost to a broken car on a straight road, do you think we can stay proud in that circle?"
"Shut up!" Zhao Weitao yelled with an impatient expression, shouting louder, "Take off those stupid sunglasses of yours, open your dog eyes and see if I am accelerating!"
This roar scared the two women in the back seat into not daring to breathe heavily, because since they knew Zhao Weitao, they had never seen him lose his temper like this. He usually appeared gentlemanly.
Liu Yuansi was also taken aback. As Zhao Weitao’s "good buddy," he knew very well that Zhao Weitao was most concerned about his image and face, hardly losing his composure like this.
He didn’t dare to refute, really took off his sunglasses to check the speed indicator. The numbers representing speed changed faster than milliseconds; he knew this was a sign of crazy acceleration.
Now Liu Yuansi was dumbfounded too. What’s going on, a Ferrari can’t catch up with a broken car on the straight road, and the distance is getting farther away.
At such speed, the wind blew the two women’s hair up. They tried to speak, but immediately swallowed a mouthful of wind, unable to get their words out.
Only now did they feel scared. Zhao Weitao was like a madman driving too fast, especially with the top open, they could feel the speed clearly. They couldn’t stand it anymore, how could they still mention speed and passion?
"Zhao... Brother Zhao, if... if we can’t catch up, then don’t chase, this speed is a bit much." Liu Yuansi’s speech became irregular, whether blown by the wind or scared, the feeling of having one’s life held in another’s hands always lacked a sense of security.
"Shut up." Zhao Weitao only gave him two words.
In front of the girls’ dormitory, he had said harsh words to Lin Tian. But now, not only couldn’t he humiliate Lin Tian, he was being humiliated instead, the situation couldn’t be more obvious.
Seeing that he couldn’t catch up, Zhao Weitao grew more and more irritable. But no matter how much he felt irritated and unwilling, he couldn’t catch up, even to the point where at last, he couldn’t even see the shadow of Lin Tian’s car.
He actually lost track of him! This was not just a simple loss, but completely losing sight of him, which showed the huge gap.
Zhao Weitao’s face was terrifyingly grim, the other three didn’t dare make a noise, afraid he’d go crazy and crash the car into the curb.
With the current speed of crashing, the Ferrari would fall apart in minutes, of course, along with the people in the car, none would be unharmed.
"Huff..." Zhao Weitao let out a heavy breath, seemingly having held it in his chest for a long time.
He finally released the accelerator, the speed of the car dropped to a normal rate, Liu Yuansi and the two women let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Brother Zhao, don’t worry, when we get to Red Leaf Mountain, rock climbing is your strong suit, I refuse to believe that Lin Tian is an all-round champion." Liu Yuansi comforted softly, afraid of saying it loudly and provoking Zhao Weitao.
Xiao Ya and Xiao Na also forced a laugh, "Brother Liu is right, only by climbing will Brother Zhao display his manly demeanor. Lin Tian can only look up from below."
Zhao Weitao didn’t respond to the three’s words for a while, then self-talked, "What kind of car was that, with straight-line speed actually winning over a Ferrari."
Liu Yuansi thought for a moment and said, "It must be a modified car; maybe they changed the supercar’s shell to a regular one just for show. You know some people have those twisted tastes."
"A shell car?" Zhao Weitao murmured and said, "If it’s just a shell car, then how to explain the engine sound? When his car accelerates, the engine is eerily quiet, like a ghost."
"This..." Liu Yuansi thought for a long time, unable to come up with a reasonable explanation.
Xiao Na tried to explain, "Brother Zhao, could it be he installed soundproofing."
Zhao Weitao shook his head and said, "Impossible, you haven’t played with modifications, and don’t understand. There’s no soundproof material, even a few centimeters thick can completely isolate engine noise. Also, except for pure electric cars, all engine bays can never be sealed because it must leave air intake ports."
"Could it be his car is purely electric?" The two women asked again.
"No, I saw, his car has an intake, has an exhaust pipe, and during acceleration, exhaust is expelled, it won’t be pure electric." Zhao Weitao denied again.
"Maybe it’s hybrid?" Liu Yuansi suggested but didn’t really believe it himself, hybrids couldn’t possibly accelerate so quietly.
Zhao Weitao said expressionlessly, "Don’t think about it, let’s go to Red Leaf Mountain first."
As the car’s owner, Lin Tian naturally wouldn’t have known that Zhao Weitao was constantly analyzing his car. At this time, he had long left the Ferrari behind and the car speed had dropped to normal levels.
"Mr. Lin, your control in overtaking just now was perfect; even Little Ya couldn’t do it," the artificial intelligence Little Ya unabashedly praised.
"Lin Tian, you really gave us a fright. The speed just now was almost flying," Xiao Manxuan exclaimed. Even though she knew Lin Tian well, she was scared by the speed just now. Qiao Xiaoyi and the others felt both exhilarated and a bit scared. Even rough-around-the-edges Mu Binglan couldn’t manage to say anything against it.
"Miss Xiao, Little Ya can guarantee that no matter how fast it goes, it won’t fly. This car has undergone the most rigorous aerodynamic testing, the faster the speed, the more air resistance produces a downward force, pressing down on the car body, ensuring the four wheels grip the road tightly. So, although Mr. Lin accelerated quickly, the car was very stable," Little Ya explained earnestly.
