#620 - Chapter 620: Pursuit
Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!
After rushing out of the shelter's gate, Li Cai fixed her right foot on the accelerator, making the off-road vehicle's engine roar!
As soon as she burst out of the gate, she rushed in a certain direction!
That direction leads to Guangyuan City!
"Boom—!"
The engine roared wildly, and the car quickly accelerated to eighty or ninety kilometers per hour, shooting out like an arrow from a bow.
The people from New Hope on the opposite side hadn't fully reacted yet, and they even forgot to shoot, allowing Li Cai to escape two or three hundred meters!
"Bang bang bang—!!!"
The New Hope people who finally reacted hurriedly pulled out their guns and fired at the car.
But by this time, Li Cai had already run far away, and the added steel plates on the car played a role.
Li Cai inside the car only heard a few "clang clang clang" sounds of bullets hitting before she sped away even further!
She had initially escaped!
"Damn it!!"
"Quickly chase that car! Don't let that car get away!"
Director Kuang roared angrily at his subordinates!
What the hell was going on!?
They had just said that they couldn't let anyone from the opposite shelter escape, and now a car had immediately escaped!
Wasn't this a slap in the face?
He was about to be driven crazy!
"Leave some people to continue monitoring here! Send a few cars to chase!! Quick!!"
The subordinates naturally didn't dare to disobey, and they quickly ran to the parking area to drive after her.
Director Kuang didn't follow; he needed to stay here to observe the opposite shelter.
A car had just rushed out, but that huge shelter over there couldn't run away. He couldn't abandon the bigger prize for the sake of one car.
However, he didn't know who had rushed out.
If he knew.
He might have personally led the chase.
Inside the car.
Li Cai's pounding heart finally calmed down a little.
At this time, she was already one or two kilometers away from the shelter.
She hadn't seen any chasing cars behind her yet, it seemed like she had shaken off the enemies outside!
"No! I need to go faster! My parents and everyone else are still waiting for me to return! Hope lies in Guangyuan City!"
She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring intently at the road ahead. As long as she turned a few more intersections, she could get onto the highway leading to Guangyuan City!
The off-road vehicle roared again, accelerating forward.
However.
After driving less than a kilometer, Li Cai discovered three cars appearing behind her!
Judging from the way those cars were constantly approaching her, there was no need to ask—they were definitely pursuers!
Sure enough, it wasn't so easy to shake off the enemies!
Although Li Cai had been mentally prepared that this trip to Luyuan for help wouldn't be so smooth, the appearance of the vehicles behind her still made her heart sink.
There was only this one highway leading to Luyuan, which was the fastest route.
She had once heard Liu Wenhao say that many of the national highways from Luyuan to the Shanshi Coal Shelter were difficult to travel due to disrepair and too many obstacles.
It was possible to travel them, but the time it would take might be more than a day, so there was no need.
Li Cai was going there today to save lives, so naturally, she didn't consider running into the national highways to wander around, but instead chose the fastest route like Luyuan.
The three cars behind her were just ordinary sedans, but they were extremely fast!
In just a moment, the three cars slightly closed the distance, appearing a few hundred meters behind Li Cai's off-road vehicle!
Damn it!
This off-road vehicle wasn't originally good at accelerating in a straight line, and with the added and welded steel plates to increase the load, the speed was reduced again. At this time, it was actually being slowly chased by the sedans behind!
"Bang bang!"
"Clang clang!"
Two gunshots sounded from behind, and then Li Cai clearly felt the rear of the off-road vehicle vibrate twice!
They were shooting from behind!
Fortunately, they still hadn't penetrated it.
The specially added thick steel plate at the back could temporarily withstand this attack.
However, Li Cai didn't know how long it could last.
The people in the three pursuing cars were indeed from New Hope.
Under the command of Director Kuang, they searched in the direction of Luyuan, and sure enough, they quickly discovered this off-road vehicle that had escaped from the shelter.
They weren't stupid enough to shout useless words like "Stop" or "Don't run."
What were they thinking?
This kind of thing only happened in movies; in a real chase, they would only quietly try to approach the target and intercept or kill it!
The driver carefully drove the car, and the person sitting in the passenger seat reached out with the gun in their hand, constantly shooting at the off-road vehicle.
"Hit its tires, windows, and fuel tank! Blow up this car directly!"
The New Hope pursuers were very decisive, aiming their guns specifically at the weak points of the off-road vehicle.
Bullets constantly attacked the off-road vehicle!
Fortunately, when Li Cai was in the shelter, she had considered the possibility of being chased and had specially modified the rear and wheels of the car.
In addition, the New Hope base personnel's marksmanship was terrible, and most of the bullets were wasted.
For a time.
A high-speed car chase of three against one appeared on the nameless road in Shanshi.
"No! I must find a way to shake off these people! Otherwise, my car will be damaged sooner or later, and I'll be done for!"
Li Cai could feel the sound of bullets hitting the car constantly.
Although the protection was good, if she continued to be attacked like this, something might still go wrong.
Moreover, those three sedans were still constantly approaching her!
The off-road vehicle wasn't fast enough to shake them off!
At this time, Li Cai, who was driving the car, couldn't stop to shoot back, nor could she stick her pistol out and randomly fire a few shots in the rearview mirror like in the movies to directly blow up and kill the enemies hundreds of meters away.
Movies were all lies.
Perhaps there were really such capable people in the world who could hit a moving target hundreds of meters away while both sides were driving at high speed.
But not Li Cai.
She could only use that!
She bit her silver teeth, operated the car with one hand, and took out a homemade bomb that her shelter companions had given her when she left from the passenger seat!
The entire shelter hadn't manufactured many homemade bombs, only a mere dozen or so. Li Cai had brought a full ten bombs on this trip!
She prepared to ignite the device.
Li Cai slowed down the car and actively allowed the other party to get closer, constantly estimating the distance between the two and the road conditions in her mind.
After reaching a certain point in her mind, she resolutely ignited the homemade bomb and threw it out of the car window!
The cars behind were still approaching at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour, and they didn't notice what the off-road vehicle had thrown out at all, so they continued to approach!
"Boom—!"
A loud noise rang out on the highway!
The foremost of the three pursuing cars happened to be within the range of the explosion!
Although it didn't directly hit the target and cause it to overturn and explode, the windows were shattered by the shock wave of the homemade explosion, and it stopped!
The two cars behind were also affected to some extent, and their speed was reduced!
The pursuit was temporarily interrupted!
But the crisis was far from being resolved!
