Chapter 89 Desperate Flight
The ground trembled slightly, then began to shake violently! Trees and houses swayed as if on water. People could barely stand; the feeling was as if the earth's crust was being brutally ravaged by a rapist without any foreplay.
An old man enjoying the morning sun and air on his terrace was thrown over the railing by the violent shaking, crashing heavily to the ground below. Several cyclists also fell. The car alarms, triggered by the intense shaking, blared heart-wrenchingly, assaulting people's nerves.
Ironically, the official on TV (Governor Schwarzenegger) was announcing that the earthquake activity period had passed just before the earthquake struck, proving the mockery that he only knew how to read lines.
Worst of all, Kate and her children were still inside, packing!
"Damn it!" Fang Senyan roared. He immediately ordered, "Reef, go save them! I'll start the car and get ready to run! Sanzi, tell Kurutguo to focus; our lives will depend on him."
"What about me?" Zi was clearly unhappy at being ignored.
"Pray that Bu has really been banished from this world! Of course, if you don't mind, give me a kiss to boost my spirits," Fang Senyan shrugged.
Zi blushed, glared at Fang Senyan, and immediately said sternly:
"I do mind."
Fang Senyan ignored the shaking earth, jumped into the car they had carefully chosen before coming here: a domineering, even wild vehicle! A pure white, extended six-wheel Hummer H6! (Picture on Weibo)
This car could accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 8.6 seconds, with a top speed of over 200 kilometers. Its 6.0-liter… valve gasoline engine provided amazing power. Compared to it, the regular 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter engines of ordinary SUVs seemed inadequate.
Of course, the only drawback of this four-ton beast was its astonishing fuel consumption, practically drinking oil like water. To put it bluntly, the H6's fuel consumption in stop-and-go city driving was about ten times that of a common 0.8-liter QQ… Fortunately, the H6 had a dual-fuel tank configuration, holding 240 liters of fuel per fill-up, enough to run seven or eight hundred kilometers without problems; otherwise, it would need refueling every few dozen kilometers.
Reef had already rushed into Mr. Gordon's house. The entire villa seemed to be squeezed frantically from all sides by several invisible monsters. He kicked open the door, and everything within sight was twisting and shaking strangely. Dust fell in showers, yet sunlight still shone through the distorted cracks!
Despite the cacophony of shattering porcelain, Reef was most concerned about the creaking and groaning of the house's supporting timbers, a clear sign that they were failing under the earthquake's force. The house probably wouldn't last much longer.
The children's cries upstairs guided Reef's path. He rushed upstairs, shielding his head. At least two chandeliers fell, showering him with glass, which caused no harm to Reef, who was as tough as iron. Just as he reached the second floor, a wardrobe, flung wildly, crashed towards him. Reef clenched his fist and swung an elbow!
The wardrobe shattered with a crack, sending underwear and dust flying, unable to stop Reef's advance! Reaching the second floor, he saw Mrs. Kate and the two children huddled under the dining table, trembling in terror.
"Get out!" Reef said hoarsely, but calmly.
Kate screamed in terror:
"But the experts say it's safer under the table during an earthquake!"
Reef was about to speak when he heard a sharp, piercing crack from a beam. It snapped, and the entire villa would collapse in seconds. He didn't have time to explain, so he bent down, kicked the table away, grabbed Kate with his left arm, and the two terrified children with his right, smashing through the window and leaping out!
Less than two seconds after he jumped, the villa's walls collapsed under the terrible pressure, crushing the entire building as if by a huge, invisible hand, sending up clouds of dust.
At that moment, a sharp glint flashed in Fang Senyan's eyes. He clearly saw a sharp steel bar shoot out during the collapse, aimed at Lily's back, whom Reef was carrying. Whether it was coincidence or accident was unknown.
"Such a direct attack shouldn't be Bu," Fang Senyan thought. Zi, standing beside him, flicked her fingers, and a sharp burst of the Force, like a needle, struck the steel bar from the side, deflecting it. Reef landed and rolled, then ran towards them with the three people.
Fang Senyan opened the car door, pulled the anxious Mr. Gordon into the passenger seat, and stepped on the accelerator. Zi opened the rear trunk door, reaching out to catch them. Amid the rumbling and cracking of the earth, large, clear cracks appeared on the road tens of meters behind Reef, extending in their direction.
The powerful V8 engine roared to life. Reef threw the two dazed children and Mrs. Kate into the back of the H6. Zi easily caught them and placed them on the sofa. Although the car's speed had increased to over sixty yards, Reef still jumped into the car easily.
Here, it is necessary to introduce the most amazing modification of the H6. The front and rear rows can accommodate five adults, and the extended space at the rear has been renovated into a luxurious small bar, complete with lights, sound system, TV, and refrigerator. The corner luxury leather sofa can seat five people and has wide, comfortable backrests. (Picture attached)
On the carriage wall opposite the sofa, a wall-mounted 15-inch screen is connected to the front DVD player, plus a shocking sound effect of 10 speakers, which can form a mobile private theater. The walnut-decorated bar next to it has two embedded refrigerators, and the cup holder on the bar can firmly fix 10 wine glasses. The roof and surrounding areas are decorated with chrome-plated metal, and the sides are inlaid with variable-color light strips.
When Kate calmed down a little, she was placed on the sofa next to her. Zi fastened her seat belt and poured her a glass of vodka to calm her nerves. At this time, the car body was still bumpy due to the earthquake, and it could be seen that the villas on both sides of the road could not withstand the rage of nature and were destroyed. A large number of cracks appeared on the walls and collapsed one by one, and even thick smoke and flames emerged.
More terrifying was that a large number of ground fissures and potholes appeared on the road behind, and the domino-like collapse seemed to be chasing them desperately! A large number of vehicles parked on the side of the road were swallowed by the rolling ground subsidence! And those trees collapsed one after another and disappeared into the newly formed black and deep gully.
"Can't you go any faster!" Zi shouted at the front: "The collapse and ground subsidence behind us are only two seconds away! I really don't feel safe now!"
Fang Senyan shrugged his shoulders and stepped on the accelerator again, the engine roar of the Hummer H6 suddenly became huge, and the wide off-road tires played a huge role at this time. The vehicle began to speed on the road, trying to avoid the collapse behind.
The speed pointer began to rise slowly and resolutely... At this time, in the eyes and senses of everyone, the whole world seemed to be shaking and trembling frantically!!
Kate and Gordon were murmuring the name of God, and their thoughts seemed to be frozen temporarily except for this matter.
At this moment, the thing that Fang Senyan and the others were most worried about happened... Traffic jam! After entering a main road, there were obviously cars driving in the front, and the people driving these cars were obviously being ruled by fear and had not yet realized the huge crisis coming from behind!
"Now is not the time to abide by any dogshit traffic rules!" Fang Senyan gritted his teeth and said: "Gentlemen, hold on tight, there will be a violent collision!"
As soon as his words fell, he heard a loud bang from the front. Fang Senyan had already turned the steering wheel sharply and slammed into the ass of a Toyota Corolla in front, causing it to roll and fly out obliquely. If this car continued to block the front, then most of the group would have to say goodbye in the cracks and abyss underground in a few seconds.
This is when the Hummer H6 showed its powerful domineering power. The dead weight of more than four tons, the structure of high-strength alloy steel, and the acceleration that has rushed to nearly 150 kilometers, to be honest, as long as it is not a large heavy truck, then ordinary vehicles are really not enough to see in front of its collision!
