Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 28
byChapter 31
As Chi Huang said, the camera followed him closely after he crossed the ravine barrier, and the commentator seemed to be quite interested in him, and did not hesitate to talk about his style at length.
“In this event, driver No. 222 is definitely one of the most eye-catching entities – he perfectly combines extreme sprint power with textbook-level stability. This trait is also rare in top events!
“Looking back at the previous stages, the performance of No. 222 is enough to be recorded in the event record.Facing high-risk terrain such as underground ditches and faults, as well as accident-prone areas such as gravel arrays and floating soil areas, he always cuts in at extreme speeds and achieves zero-error passage with precise body control. This double pinnacle of technical and psychological quality is amazing!
“Attention! Drivers are now about to enter the Arubia Devil’s Corner.
“The series of razor bends in front of us are the famous death stages of the rally.There are 17 hairpin turns densely distributed in the first eight kilometers, with a maximum drop of 400 meters. The random appearance of water-eroded blade stones and quicksand traps makes every turn like a game with death!
“The first group entered the corner area immediately. No. 008 entered first, followed by No. 145, No. 086, No. 352… Here comes No. 222! Everyone is paying attention. In this fatal stage with an accident rate as high as 40%, can this young driver with a zero accident record continue his legend?
“The camera shows a close-up view – No. 222 did not slow down at all!Look, he overtook No. 145!It’s really unexpected that No. 222 chose to overtake on this section of road.There are dense curves ahead, won’t he slow down?
“The answer is no! The banked cornering cut into Turn 1, and the center of gravity shift was completed in milliseconds, followed by Turns 2 and 3… He overtook again, and No. 352 was left behind.
“086 is also dangerous. I couldn’t guess that after three turns, he would be overtaken by… two, just two turns, No. 222 completed the inside cut!It’s so overwhelming!
“Now, can he defeat the advantage accumulated in the early stage of No. 008? Remind everyone, No. 008 is the last individual champion Qin Pingchuan – a defending king known for his radical routing and technical suppression. This duel between the old and new kings has already heated up!
“No. 222 is approaching. No. 008 obviously feels the crisis and has taken a defensive posture. Will he let No. 222 overtake as easily as before?
“No. 222 caught up! He was about to overtake! 008 obviously realized his intention and moved in a snake-like position to block the route!
“It was too dangerous, the two cars almost collided!Fortunately, No. 222 used extremely quick responses to correct the car’s body.No. 222 was readjusting again, trying to overtake again.
“Beautiful! No. 008 defended again and blocked the overtaking route continuously! As expected of the previous champion, No. 008’s aggressiveness of not giving up any ground is also very characteristic.
“222 doesn’t give up, he bites hard, and he’s about to leave the canyon stage. Does he still have a chance?
“The opportunity has arisen! There is a deviation in the alignment of No. 008, and a weak gap is exposed on the right side! No. 222 immediately follows up with full fuel… No! A quicksand trap is found in front of the overtaking route! This is No. 008’s tactical inducement!!
“222 also found the quicksand pit, but it was too late. If the line does not change, it will inevitably fall into the pit. If the line changes, it will inevitably collide. Will he choose to stop fueling and give up overtaking?
“His choice is to forcefully cut inside! Is this to exchange the risk of rear-end collision for the opportunity to overtake? No. 008 shows no sign of giving in! It’s too dangerous!!
“The speed exceeded 180 kilometers per hour!Any mistake at this speed would be catastrophic!No. 222 is still accelerating… Oh my God!He chose the third way!I rushed up against the vertical cliff…”
Following the intense tone of the commentary and the tense rhythm of the engine sound, Chen Shilu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth throughout.He stared at the screen and couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
The narrow canyon is only accessible to two vehicles. One line is cut off by a sand pit, and the other line is blocked by another rider.Seeing that Chi Huang was about to hit the opponent, he used the momentum of the turn to climb up the mountain wall, his body almost parallel to the road, as if he was flying and forcibly opened a passing lane for himself.
The moment he passed everyone and drove out of the Death Canyon, the entire camp applauded and cheered for his superb skills and courage without fear of death.
“222!”
“222!”
“222!”
…
Amid this fanatical shouting, Chen Shilu silently squeezed out of the crowd.
He found an open space, bent down and raised his knees to relieve his stomach cramps due to excessive tension.Cold sweat slid from his temples into the sand on the ground, and even his hands and feet felt a little weak.
He now fully understands Chi Huang’s seemingly dangerous actions in the past.For a professional athlete who wants to compete in this kind of extreme competition, riding a bicycle and climbing mountains at night is completely childish. This is the real life-threatening.
Crazy!
Although he was risking his life, he looked so different now.
It’s not the unreliability of being careless and treating life as a child’s play, but the absolute calmness of being able to firmly control life in one’s own hands while playing with the God of Death.
The reason for jumping into danger is not because you don’t know the heights of the world, but because you are strong enough to turn all crises into safety.
Chen Shilu suddenly understood that Fu Lei had a hard time extricating himself from Chi Huang after riding motorcycles together. After seeing Chi Huang, it was indeed too easy to be impressed by his strength and fearlessness.Because extreme sports conquer not only oneself, but also the natural fear of death in everyone’s human nature.
Even people like Chen Shilu who are completely indifferent to extreme sports and have no understanding of motorcycle racing can feel thrilling and excited from such a competition.
He pressed his too fast heartbeat and stroked his overheated cheek. When he thought of the word “Chi Huang”, he felt slightly suffocated. This feeling made his mouth dry.
After all, unlike those around them, all they knew was the driver number 222, while the 222 that Chen Shilu knew was much more specific.
He knew the way he looked when he was not riding a motorcycle, knew his rogue face, knew his coquettish eyes, and knew the strength of his hands holding the handlebars on his waist, as well as the frequency with which he leaned over and sprinted forward… It was really terrible to think of these things at this time!
Chen Shilu’s mind turned around and he finally knew why Chi Huang insisted on watching the game. That kid must have thought that everything would become so bad.
This guy!
Chen Shilu walked half a circle around the camp and saw no official vehicles going to the competition venue. He only saw a few young people chatting around the off-road vehicles.
He walked up and asked, “Does the car belong to you?”
Those people looked at him curiously: “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Can you take me to the finish line?”
Before the other party spoke, he added: “If you don’t give it away for free, you can set a price.”
The young man who looked like the car owner said provocatively: “Two thousand.”
Chen Shilu jumped into the car without hesitation: “Let’s go.”
Seeing that he was so cheerful, the young man who opened his mouth couldn’t help but hold on to the car door: “No, buddy, we are just here to have fun, not the driver.Why don’t you go find a camp delivery company, some of whom are willing to give it away, or wait for the organizing committee’s car?”
“Time is a bit tight, could you please give me a ride? Anyway, I have fun wherever I go, and I can earn some gas money by the way, right?””
The young man exchanged glances with his friends, and then said to Chen Shilu: “Then my friends will come too?”
“no problem.”
He had a sudden impulse to pick up Chi Huang after the race. He wanted Chi Huang to see him first at the finish line, even at the expense of paying a “sky-high” fare. Even Chen Shilu himself was surprised.
As the desolate scenery flowed outside the window, Chen Shilu seemed to remember in a daze that when he was in his twenties, he had this urge to go to a date no matter what, which was like a passionate love affair.Later this impulse naturally disappeared, coincident with the loss of his youth and vigorous desire.
No wonder people say that being with young people will make you young again.
“My girlfriend is also a driver?”The driver asked him.
“Huh?”
“I’m so anxious to get to the finish line, my girlfriend must be racing too.”
“Why do you claim that she is a girlfriend, but can’t she be… a wife?”He rolled his tongue and made a temporary bend.
“That can’t be the case.If your wife knew that you spent this money to pick her up, she would definitely scold you for being a prodigal.”
“Hahaha, that’s quite right.”
It took more than two hours on the road. When we arrived at the destination, the first-tier riders were almost at the finish line. The temporary closed parking lot set up on the roadside was also crowded with pick-up cars.
Everyone looked at the track ahead with eager anticipation and guessed the number of the first driver to appear.
The voice of No. 222 is very high, even with No. 008.
Along with the dust rising in the distance, the roar of the engine gradually broke into my ears.The rider was almost there, the crowd started to get restless, and Chen Shilu squeezed forward through the gap.
The riders got closer, and some were holding telescopes. It was clear that the rider in front of them was No. 222, but No. 008 was also following closely behind.
Although Chen Shilu couldn’t see the number on his body clearly, he could tell from his body posture and the color of his uniform that the one in front of him was Chi Huang.
As he was about to reach the end of today’s journey, his speed slowed down.However, at this time, No. 008 behind him suddenly accelerated.
Even Chen Shilu was surprised. As far as he knew the rules of the competition, the competition sections had already passed, and these sections were not scored. Why did he speed up and overtake at this time?
008’s actions immediately cleared his doubts. The other car was not overtaking, but when the two cars were driving side by side, he suddenly bumped into Chi Huang. The momentum made him want to die together.
Chi Huang made an emergency escape, but was caught off guard and overturned the car and rolled down the elevated road.
The crowd exclaimed, and Chen Shilu’s heart suddenly rose to his throat. He struggled to avoid the people in front of him and rushed to the front.
He still wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by someone: “We can’t go forward, there is a driveway in front of us, and the car behind us is coming soon, it is very dangerous.””
“No, I have to go there, I know 222.”
“It’s not enough to recognize him. The rescue team is preparing and they will go there.”
“I went with the rescue team.”
“It’s really not possible, the rules…”
During the dispute, No. 222 got up, helped the bike up, stepped on the accelerator and rushed onto the road again.
The person who stopped Chen Shilu quickly told him: “Don’t worry, it doesn’t look like the problem is big.”
No. 008 had reached the finish line at this time. Everyone thought he was retaliating for being overtaken at the Arubia corner, so they kept making noises and giving him the middle finger.
Chen Shilu glanced at 008 coldly and saw that he didn’t care and got directly into the nanny car of his team.
222 was finally approaching the finish line. Amid the calls of “come on”, Chen Shilu also raised his hands to wave to him.
Chi Huang obviously saw it and swung the car to a stop in front of Chen Shilu.
He rolled over vigorously and got out of the car, taking off his helmet.
“How’s it going? Did it break?”Chen Shilu grabbed his arm and looked him up and down.
Without saying a word, Chi Huang held his face in his hands and kissed him hard.
