Chapter 1007: Brake

It was Feng Zi’s first time encountering such a situation. Since she was caught off guard, she could only slam the accelerator hard, trying to get rid of the two police cars behind her. However, when the police officers saw her speed up, they too accelerated after her. Slowly, the distance between the two closed up.

Anxiety and fear built up in Feng Zi’s heart when she saw the police cars getting closer. Immediately, she attempted to get rid of them by switching lanes. However, several attempts later, she almost ran into an oncoming car and caused an accident. Unfortunately, all that dangerous maneuvering failed to increase the distance between her and the police officers. A second later, the two police cars were that close to touching her taillights.

One of the policemen began shouting Feng Zi through a loudspeaker, ordering her to slow and stop by the side of the road. The woman, however, seemed to have no intention of surrendering. Then, she suddenly remembered a trick that she saw in a movie. She was about to swerve violently and ram into one of the patrol cars. However, when she gritted her teeth and was ready to bite the bullet, the handheld computer reminded her that there was a call request.

Feng Zi then connected the computer to the car’s speaker, and Zhang Heng’s voice came on.

“Go on. Don’t worry about the guys behind you.”

For some reason, after hearing Zhang Heng’s s calm tone, Feng Zi’s anxiety began to dissipate slowly; her hands no longer shaking when she held the steering wheel. She then asked joyfully, “Are you nearby? Did you manage to get rid of all the enemies at the amusement park?”

“Yes.”

“Did you receive the message I sent you? The group that attacked the station earlier is left with only four members now. The rest are dead. I think they should be not far ahead.”

“I saw it. Let’s get rid of these police officers first.

“Thank you for keeping an eye on the situation here,” Zhang Heng added after a pause.

“You are welcome. I actually didn’t help that much. All I did was update you on the situation from time to time.”

“No. You really helped a lot tonight,” Zhang Heng said.

This time, Zhang Heng tasted the many inconveniences caused by the lack of a teammate. Fortunately, some people were willing to help him in this dungeon. In addition to Old Man Geng and Miss F, he was quite lucky to meet Feng Zi at the bar tonight. Of course, he might be able to get his hands on the memory encoder all by himself, but doing it alone was undoubtedly much more difficult. And Zhang Heng might have to bet on his luck.

When the two were talking, the two police cars had already sandwiched Feng Zi’s car. A policeman with a pistol tried to force Feng Zi to stop her car. At the next moment, the three cars bumbled side by side into the underground tunnel ahead of them.

Feng Zi’s vision was temporarily disabled due to the sudden change in brightness. After that, she heard a series of gunshots, and something hit her car. Thank goodness she managed to keep her hands steady on the wheel. When she looked back, she saw one of the police cars slowing down abruptly. It seemed someone had shot its tire, causing the officer to lose control and hit her car.

Afterward, Feng Zi saw another police car that she had not seen before speeding up from behind. Her heart sank, but then she heard Zhang Heng’s voice again.

“Step on the brakes.”

Without hesitation, Feng Zi stepped on the brakes without any hesitation, drastically slowing down the speed of the red new energy car. Under the influence of inertia, she was flung to the front violently. Fortunately, the safety belt prevented her from getting any injuries.

On the other hand, the man at the co-pilot seat did not end well. He was thrown from his seat, hitting his head on the windshield. Feng Zi could feel the pain just by looking at him. The police car beside her did not expect her to stop abruptly. Initially, the police officer wanted to stop in front of Feng Zi’s car. He then saw a police car coming out from nowhere and approached them.

Zhang Heng swerved to the right without any warning. The officer, on the other hand, saw a lot of space on his right side. Responding to his reflexes, he subconsciously swerved to the right to dodge the police car that wanted to hit him. Unfortunately, he failed to realize the obstacle that was in his way, driving right into an emergency parking zone and hitting the concrete block in front of him.

By now, the two police cars had stopped going after Feng Zi.

After exiting the tunnel, Zhang Heng found a place to park the car and waited for Feng Zi to get out of the vehicle. Then the latter left the red new energy car and entered Zhang Heng’s car’s co-pilot seat. As soon as Feng Zi got into the car, she saw a wide variety of weapons.

“Did you just rob a weapons storage?” she couldn’t help but mutter.

“No, they brought these here.”

Zhang Heng killed three emergency response members and two federal police teams during the battle at the amusement park. He finally solved the problem of lacking weapons and ammunition at the second level. Besides, a police car was usually filled with a lot of weapons. He also managed to collect some useful equipment from the corpses of No.3, No.8, and No.2.

As soon as Feng Zi got in the car, Zhang Heng handed her a new bulletproof vest, one that could withstand the rounds of a sniper rifle. Putting it on was equivalent to gaining an extra life.

After that, Zhang Heng stepped on the accelerator again and moved ahead.

In the meantime, Feng Zi put on the bulletproof vest. She could not help but start to feel worried. Following the police car in front of her earlier was equivalent to grasping the whereabouts of the special operations team. Since both the police cars had been put to a stop, Zhang Heng and Feng Zi had completely lost their target for now.

Feng Zi looked at Zhang Heng and saw how calm he still was. He seemed completely unbothered about this matter. Before she had time to ask, the communication device in the car answered her question.

“The target ran into the Four Continents Hotel. Everyone in charge, request assistance to block all entrances and exits of the hotel!”

“Roger!”

“10-4!!”

…

After the police officer was done talking, the car became quiet again. Zhang Heng then explained, “The emergency response team has done a good job at securing their communication channel. However, they are working with the police force this time. Hence, they have to use the same channel for this operation. In other words, they would inevitably share some of the important information.”

“Why do you look like you know everything?” Feng Zi had put on a rich expression. “I see you have rather competent driving skills.”

“Well, you’re only about to experience those skills.” After Zhang Heng got the destination address, he reminded Feng Zi to fasten his seat belt. Then, he stepped on the accelerator as hard as he could, causing Feng Zi to feel like she was on a rocket. The powerful inertia pinned her firmly on her seat.

The numbers on the speedometer began to increase rapidly. The next moment, Feng Zi started to wonder if the car was flying. She held on to the side grips for dear life.
