Chapter 2 Second Repair Area

With the support of Twilight Knight's superb driving skills, the Stryker chariot passed the second stage unscathed.

Along the way, they picked up a large number of special props: banana peels that, when dropped on the ground, could cause cars behind to slip, crash, and skid;

Golden mushrooms that granted the chariot unlimited acceleration opportunities for a certain period after use;

Key bombs that could be thrown forward or backward, and would explode after a short delay.

Since there weren't many vehicles around, these props didn't achieve much.

At best, they picked up an invincibility star that made the vehicle invincible, immune to all damage, and constantly accelerating, resisting turtle shells and lightning (all vehicles on the field were simultaneously damaged and lost the props they carried).

It is worth mentioning that at the end of the second stage, Claude, who had been staying in the back, also fortunately picked up a shark-head cannonball prop.

This transformed his chariot into a black cannonball with eyes and hands,

Crashing and rampaging on the track at speeds exceeding the sound barrier, pushing away all the vehicles in its path, directly advancing into the first half of the leading group.

The Stryker chariot, superficially scarred, slowly drove into the second repair area.

A flash of lightning appeared in Li Ang's hand, drawing matter from the soil to repair the mottled traces on the car.

"Want to take a break?"

Sunset Melted Gold, in the passenger seat, rubbed his eyes and looked at Twilight Knight, who was holding the steering wheel. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I feel like you're very tired."

Three stages, each 200 kilometers long,

Not to mention the extremely complex road conditions, the driver must also pay attention to everything around them, constantly observing other drivers.

It's very exhausting.

Sunset Melted Gold, who was only responsible for opening the predictive view and observing the road conditions ahead and behind, felt his body was being emptied.

Twilight Knight, who had been driving the vehicle at high intensity, must be even more tired.

"No need."

Twilight Knight shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "I can still hold on."

He took out a white glass bottle drink with a cross sword printed on it from his backpack, inserted a straw, extended one end of the straw into the helmet gap, and slowly drank it.

"This is..."

Sunset Melted Gold noticed the packaging of the drink and raised an eyebrow.

"Energy drink."

Twilight Knight said simply, "It's a special limited product newly launched today by the famous o'z restaurant on the square.

It is only given to VIP customers whose consumption amount reaches a certain level.

It seems to use some kind of special secret raw material. After drinking it, it can quickly restore energy and relieve fatigue.

The taste is also good, with a natural fragrance."

"Oh, oh."

Sunset Melted Gold nodded. Various forces were doing business in energy drinks, and the drinks launched by each organization were different.

Whale Song also had corresponding supplies internally—since most of Whale Song were programmers, their energy drinks could not only relieve fatigue, but also had special effects on hair growth, anti-hair loss, and saving hairlines to a certain extent.

Once launched, it was widely praised.

"..."

Li Ang's expression was subtly strange. He vaguely felt that the drink in Twilight Knight's hand seemed to be a potion product from his shop?

Could it be that the o'z restaurant people bought the potion from his shop, put their own label on it, and took it out as a non-selling gift?

Li Ang looked at Twilight Knight drinking with relish, opened his mouth, and hesitated.

He vaguely remembered that this potion seemed to use a certain herbivorous milk-producing worm in the metabolic process to produce secretions on the body surface.

In short, body grime.

... Forget it, I'd better not tell him this news.

Li Ang coughed a little guiltily, greeted his companions, got out of the car, and wandered around the repair area.

It was easy to see that the repair area after the prop stage was missing a large number of drivers.

Almost more than half of the teams were eliminated in the first two stages, or even injured or died.

The remaining survivors also looked solemn, their faces tense.

It was true that some areas on both sides of the track had medical personnel teams, but accidents still happened that they couldn't take care of.

Having lived in the central city for so long, even if they weren't very familiar with the injured and the dead, the survivors couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for the misfortune of others.

"Die, damn you!"

A short-haired boy wearing a blue short sleeve and a red and white hat looked grief-stricken and threw several Poké Balls at Ezio Auditore, ignoring the obstruction of the surrounding event staff.

This short-haired boy was none other than the Pokémon release master, a superhuman, an eternally young rascal, Team Rocket's nemesis, the world's worst Pidgeot abandoner, Ultimate Defense Force member, and Pokémon's eternal protagonist,

Xiao Zhi.

"Pikachu, Dragonite, Gengar, Bulbasaur! Come on out!"

As the Poké Balls burst into light, several extremely oppressive Pokémon stood in front of Xiao Zhi. Each one was no less powerful than a driver of the same level.

The reason why this 10-year-old boy was so grief-stricken was simple.

His close friend and traveling companion, Xiao Gang, had died under Ezio Auditore's hidden blade on the track just now.
