Early the next morning, Irving rented an old-fashioned Mustang at the car dealership. It was idle anyway, and Irving set off on the road to Florida.
The car drove all the way, and after leaving the city, Owen increased the speed and turned on the racing mode. He had not raced in a long time.
There were not many cars on the state highway. A sports car was overtaken by Irving. He seemed unconvinced and roared past him soon after. Irving smiled, he was bored while driving, so it was nice to play with him.
Owen showed a serious attitude and cooperated with his hands and feet. The speed of the car increased again, and he started chasing the sports car in front.
The two cars were speeding along the highway. It was morning and the view on the highway was very good.
There was a tug-of-war between Irving and the sports car. Occasionally Irving overtook the other, and occasionally he was overtaken by the other.
Frankly speaking, the other party's skills were good and he must be a frequent drag racer. Moreover, the performance of the other party's sports car completely surpassed the performance of his rented old Mustang. The two cars competed with each other.
This is a two-lane country road. The chase between the two cars takes up both lanes most of the time. Occasionally, there will be a car coming from the opposite direction, so the two racing cars will give way to it a little. But once the car on the other side leaves, they will immediately start again.
Come up over the top.
The two cars were going parallel, and in the yellow sports car next to them was a young man with red hair. When the young man saw Owen looking over, he gave Owen a middle finger through the window, then stepped on the accelerator and gave Owen a butt.
There was a sharp bend ahead. Irving tried his best to catch up. The red-haired young man made a beautiful drift and turned the corner. He looked like a veteran of drag racing. Irving followed the drift and turned the corner. The ruts were almost the same as his opponent's.
No matter how you turn, it will definitely have an impact on your speed. The two cars speed up again. The road sign not far ahead shows that there is an S-turn ahead, but there is still some distance. The two sides of this straight line will just lose the speed they just made during the turn.
Chase it back.
But suddenly, Owen felt something seemed to be in the woods ahead. Most people drive while racing and only pay attention to the road conditions, but Owen was extremely concerned about the surrounding environment because of his profession. The moment he noticed something was wrong, he activated bullet time and saw clearly.
What is that.
Owen immediately slowed down, but the red-haired young man didn't know this. The car instantly threw Owen out of sight, and then performed a beautiful drift and reverse drift, and passed the S-turn perfectly.
After the figure of the sports car disappeared from the S-curve for a while, Owen slowly drove the Mustang over. He didn't do any drifting, he just decelerated normally, cornered, then hit the bottom in the opposite direction, and slowed down again to corner.
As soon as he came out of the S-turn, he saw the red-haired young man's sports car stopped on the side of the road. A policeman was warning him to get out of the car. There was a spike strip laid in the middle of the road, and the tires of the young man's sports car were completely scrapped.
Owen slowly stopped, rolled down the window and made a downward gesture. The red-haired young man cast an angry look, and the police also looked over. Owen whistled, then started the car and left.
The roar of the red-haired young man came from behind. It was not until the police warned that the red-haired young man became quiet again. Owen chuckled. Of course the police knew that it was Owen and the red-haired young man who were racing, but Owen slowed down in front of the speedometer. The police did not have him.
If there is evidence of speeding, we can only let him go.
After humiliating the ignorant young man, Owen continued on the road, and soon he was on the highway, and the car was speeding all the way. There were suddenly more cars on the highway, and Owen also maximized the performance of the Mustang, constantly overtaking.
This smooth feeling was very refreshing, but it didn't last long before Irving had to stop because there was a traffic jam ahead.
The Mustang stopped slowly. It was visually estimated that there was at least a kilometer of traffic jam ahead, with no end in sight. Irving followed a tanker truck, and after waiting for a long time, the team did not move. On the contrary, more and more cars were blocked behind him.
Owen looked anxiously at the endless queue, then got out of the car, walked to the cab of the tanker in front, and knocked on the window.
The window rolled down, and the bearded driver looked towards Owen.
"Man, let me ask you, what happened in front?"
"It is said that the truck transporting chemical raw materials overturned, and the entire road was corroded..."
The bearded man shrugged, Owen frowned, and asked again: "So, how long will it take to deal with it?"
"God knows, maybe for a few hours, maybe we will have to be stuck here today. In fact, if you are in a hurry, turn around and go out from the nearest exit. There is a small road there that can go around, but not for a big car like ours."
"Thank you, man."
Owen returned to his car and decided to turn around after only thinking for a second. He was not sure when the front would be finished. He didn't want to spend the night on the highway tonight.
Owen made a U-turn and drove in the opposite direction on the highway for a short distance. He soon saw the off-ramp leading off the highway. With a turn of the steering wheel, the old-fashioned Mustang turned off the highway.
After getting off the expressway and running for a while, the road conditions became worse and worse. They were no longer even highways, but turned into dirt roads in the countryside. The car raised dust all over the sky when running. Owen no longer dared to enjoy the cool breeze brought by the speed of the car.
He closed the car window obediently.
Seeing that both sides of the increasingly remote road had turned into dense woods, Owen gradually regretted it. He felt like vomiting due to the bumpy road, but he didn't dare to open the window.
Owen turned on his cell phone to find the GPS, but found that there was no signal at all, not only the GPS, but also the cell phone signal. The cell phone had completely become a decoration here.
Cursing his luck secretly, if he hadn't seen a simple sign on the side of the road that said there was a gas station one kilometer ahead, Owen would have been ready to go back the way he came.
After driving for a while, a dilapidated gas station appeared in front of us.
Owen still had enough gas, he just wanted to ask for directions.
As the car approached, a guy was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun at the entrance of the gas station. When he saw Irving approaching, he had no intention of getting up. He just changed his head and looked at Irving.
It is estimated that not many people come to this miserable place in a year, and I don’t know what this guy does to survive.
The car became slower and slower, and finally stopped in front of the guy. Only then did Irving realize that the guy on the recliner was an old man, with an ugly appearance and a very thin body.
"Man, there was an accident on the highway ahead. I would like to ask, is it possible to bypass that section and get on the highway again?"
"Yes...why don't you come on?"
The old man was very sick and looked like he was about to fall apart at any moment.
"Oh, thank you. I still have enough gas. God bless you. Goodbye..."
Owen casually gave the old man a perfunctory word and drove away. He just wanted to ask for directions. If possible, he would try not to refuel in such a remote place. Generally, the oil at such gas stations was not good and might even be directly mixed with water.
The old-fashioned wild horse flew away, bringing up dust all over the sky, but the old man was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at the wild horse's retreating figure and showed a strange smile: "You are the one who needs God's blessing."
