"Slow down! There's a really bad stretch of road ahead!" the girl warned while attending to the injured.
But Zhang Menglong only slowed down a bit, and the truck immediately charged onto the muddy, yellow dirt path.
However, the earth-shaking sensation they had anticipated didn't come; the vibration of the truck was barely more than on the smooth road they had just been on.
They let out a sigh of relief. Such vibrations shouldn't affect the patient too severely.
Moments later, the vehicle burst out of the small path and onto the road leading to the downtown area.
"Emergency notice, emergency notice, severely injured patient needs urgent transport to the hospital, please cooperate with the mission and clear a life passage! Thank you for your cooperation!"
The notification sound echoed on the road to the hospital.
At this time, there weren't too many vehicles on the road, but in the downtown area, there were still some cars coming and going.
"Whoosh!" A blue apparition wove through the city streets, accelerating and drifting, maintaining a speed of over 200 km/h.
"Old Wang, is this the car you were talking about?" a Dongji City traffic management system operator asked, pointing to a surveillance photo on the road.
"I don't know what kind of car it is, but the license plate should be Jiang L76679. Damn! What is this thing?"
On the traffic monitoring system's screen, a blue trail navigated incessantly through the traffic; its speed made all the other cars in its vicinity eat its dust. The dashboard showed that the vehicle kept a speed of 216 km/h even on the curves.
"This... Is this guy insane? Driving ? Quickly find someone to deal with this! It could cause a massive traffic disaster!" a traffic cop panicked.
"Wait! Replay that in slow motion!" another traffic cop said.
"Jiang L76679... That's the license plate of the truck transporting the injured!"
"You're joking, right? Transport in a truck?"
"That's not the point! Have you ever seen a truck ? Nearly 250 mph on a straightaway, over 200 mph drifting through curves, you tell me this is a truck?"
"Look, that vehicle hardly even wobbles; can anyone actually drive ?"
"Not even the God of Cars from Mount Akina would dare to drive !"
The two traffic cops stared dumbfounded at the blue streak racing down the road, even forgetting to continue warning the citizens on the road.
But more bewildered than these traffic cops were the drivers on the road.
"Damn! A truck transporting patients? That's too badass!"
"I've been a driving school instructor for thirty years. Does such driving skill really exist in the world?"
"Drifting! A truck doing drifts, I'm literally splitting in place!"
"Capture this, upload it online! This is definitely a world-class racer! We actually have such an expert in Dongji City, that's amazing!"
"Damn, I'm even seeing afterimages on my phone. Have I been stroking too much?"
"Idiot, just record in slow motion!"
"What's going on up ahead?" Suddenly, Zhang Menglong noticed that the traffic light ahead was blocked by a bunch of cars, with only a narrow path left that just fit an ambulance.
"It's those ambulances dealing with food poisoning!" Zhang Menglong immediately realized.
"Brother, the patient's condition is becoming unstable, we need to pick up speed!" a girl in the back urged.
The patient with the open fracture was still okay, his blood pressure was temporarily stable, and the bleeding was somewhat under control, but the conditions of the patients with severe burns were deteriorating.
"We're screwed! It's blocked up ahead!!"
"The truck is too wide, we can't fit through that narrow path!"
"Everyone move to the right side!" Zhang Menglong shouted, "Secure the patients, don't ask why!"
Facing nearly a hundred meters of slowly congested road, Zhang Menglong actually pressed down on the accelerator again!
"Hey, are you crazy?"
The truck suddenly sped up, and Zhang Menglong whipped the steering wheel, the immense inertia lifting one side of the truck right off the ground!
"What the hell is he doing?" Two girls immediately protected the patient with the fracture, making sure the other three patients stayed close to the triangular area inside the truck cabin.
The truck didn't tip over; instead, it kept going with its front lifted up, just high enough to pass through this section of traffic!
"Look behind you! A truck is barreling through!"
"Damn! What the fuck is this? The legendary blade overtaking?"
"This ain't no race car! It's a truck!"
"Holy shit! This is godlike!"
"I know that one, it's the Jiang L76679. My friend just sent me a video. That truck has four critically injured patients. I heard it hasn't dropped below 200 mph the whole way, drifting through turns. I didn't believe it at first, but now I'm convinced!"
"Huaxia really is full of talent. This could very well be one of our own from Dongji City!"
"Does Dongji City even have racers? I remember there was someone named Liu Aowei, but he retired years ago, and his record was just so-so. This 'God of Cars' is definitely on another level!"
"Damn! Way beyond! Find me a second person who can drive a truck like a race car. Jiang L76679, forever a legend!"
In a journey that should have taken 20 minutes, Zhang Menglong only took 8 minutes. When the truck stopped in front of the hospital, even the engine began to smoke.
After all, it was just a truck. That it managed to sustain such power until now was impressive enough.
"Quick! Get them!" ER doctors who were already prepared at the hospital doors rushed to attend to the patients as soon as the truck stopped.
"Patient conditions are good; this one with the bone injury needs a blood transfusion!"
"Third-degree burns, prepare for immediate resuscitation!"
"Huh? Where's the driver?" The two girls who helped the doctors offload the patients immediately wanted to see who this impressive young driver was, but by then, the truck's cab was already empty.
After all, it was New Year's Eve, and well past 1 a.m. Most people were deep in sleep, so the incident involving Zhang Menglong didn't cause much of a stir.
But this event wouldn't just be covered up.
The next morning, videos of truck license plate number L76679 drifting around corners and overtaking at speeds over 200 mph appeared on all major platforms, causing a national sensation.
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling and gave me a 1000 yuan red envelope!"
"Ah ba, ah ba ah ba..."
"What's the big deal? Professional racers can drift at 200 mph around a corner, right?"
"I'll slap your skull open, this is a damn truck! The most ordinary truck! Go find a pro racer and show me a 200 mph drift around a corner!"
"And blade overtaking, too! It's my first time in life seeing a truck able to do such stunts. It's so cool!"
"I heard that all the patients rescued by that truck have stabilized. The doctors said it was because they were brought in just in time. Ten minutes later, and who knows what might have happened!"
"The great ones are truly among the common folk. I'd like to call him the 'God of Cars'!"
"Huaxia's God of Cars!"
Not only did the story cause a stir in the country, but it also attracted significant international attention.
"Huaxia's God of Cars? Cool beans!"
"Huaxia's God of Cars? Yosha!"
"Huaxia's God of Cars, simida?"
"I want to challenge this God of Cars! After Huaxia's Spring Festival, help me book a flight to Huaxia, White Assistant!"
"Get my car checked! In three days, we head to Huaxia to find this God of Cars!"
"I want to see if I, America's God of Cars, am stronger or if he, this Huaxia's God of Cars, is even more powerful!"
