The car is going very fast, please bear with it.

"Manager, Brother Chen."

After a brief struggle, the team was caught off guard by an unexpected attack and found themselves completely on the defensive. After their attempts failed, the second team had no choice but to report the incident.

"The plan failed. We didn't expect that kid to be able to get three cars to help us. Now... we can't stop him."

"Feel sorry."

Huang Sichen calmly replied, "It's okay, don't worry about them. You guys just run your own races, keep track of the time, and try to get a good ranking."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Zhou Qingsheng said, "Do as Huang Sichen says."

"Yes."

The members of Team Two all breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did they know that in the office, the teacup that Zhou Qingsheng had just replaced had once again shattered into pieces.

······

"They've broken through!"

"They gave up."

The voices of temporary teammates came through the radio.

Liu Jun was unfamiliar with the group, but he was very grateful: "Thanks, everyone. Let's go to the club with the young models after this."

"Haha, I love this!"

Same as above.

Old Wu: "You really dare to go?"

Liu Jun: "I just don't want young models, is that enough?"

Old Wu: "Hahaha... that's right. Well then, guys, let's all step up. We're already falling behind. Let's rush up first and catch up with the first group."

"Rush!"

They coordinated to clear paths, cut off enemy positions, and disrupt the wind...

They're all drivers from top teams; there's not a single weakling among them!

Teamwork is incredibly easy; it's like playing with teammates for years, effortlessly completing a series of maneuvers, and the ranking keeps rising.

Taking this opportunity, Lao Wu introduced two people to Liu Jun.

Hu Zhihe, Mitsubishi Team 2; Chen Yixin, Audi Team 2.

They are all veterans who have been competing for many years, and all are over thirty years old.

They may not have top-tier talent, but they are definitely not weak. Coupled with their rich experience on the field, they rushed to the forefront of the second tier with almost no effort.

After that, they gradually slowed down.

Instead of accelerating at breakneck speed, it maintains a relatively stable pace.

First, prevent the car behind you from overtaking you at will.

Second, we must not let the top tier out of our sight.

According to Lao Wu and his team's plan, they would stay with the first group, conserve their energy, and then sprint all out in the last few dozen kilometers.

The plan is excellent.

This is also a standard tactic for large racing teams.

It is more reliable and safer, while also ensuring efficiency.

Gan Ning, who had put down his binoculars, frowned slightly: "I looked carefully, and Huang Sichen's car is not among the first five cars."

"But further away there's a plume of smoke that looks like a car."

"Huang Sichen must have rushed out."

"Are we... just going to follow them like this?"

Liu Jun shook his head: "Old Wu and his team's tactics are flawless. If everyone is a driver of the same level, this is undoubtedly the optimal solution."

"With Huang Sichen around, his skill combined with a modified car that's definitely more powerful, he's practically dominating the other drivers. If we keep going like this..."

"The best result would be to take second place."

Gan Ning's eyes lit up: "So, us?"

Liu Jun: "Charge!"

The moment the word "rush" left my mouth, I floored the gas pedal!

The panda increased its speed, widening the gap between itself and Lao Wu and the others, and continued to accelerate, catching up with the leading group hundreds of meters ahead.

"That's how it should be!"

Gan Ning smiled broadly: "Just go for it!"

"I learned from my previous experience and upgraded the entire vehicle. I also made several modifications specifically for the desert environment. As long as I don't encounter any extreme situations, the car will definitely be fine this time."

This time, Gan Ning felt that he had truly burned out.

They anticipated almost every possible unexpected event during the competition and racked their brains to make targeted modifications.

It's also very expensive!

The prize money from the last Sichuan West 320 race, the money from the shop, the money earned from live streaming, and the one million yuan she won in the Wanqu track... totaling nearly six million yuan. She even spent more than four million yuan on modifying the two cars!

Of that, only a few hundred thousand yuan was invested in the crash test vehicle, while the remaining nearly four million yuan was all crammed into this "panda".

"How could I not trust you?" Liu Jun laughed. "Just do it."

They sped up.

Old Wu and his two companions were startled.

"Liu Jun, why are you rushing in so recklessly?"

"Your tactics are good, but, Lao Wu," Liu Jun replied with a smile, "like you said, we're already here."

"We can't just aim for second place, can we? Huang Sichen is already pulling ahead. If we don't catch up now, we'll have no chance at all."

"At least we beat him once before."

"this time···"

"Why not give it a try?"

Upon hearing Huang Sichen's name, Lao Wu and the other two frowned slightly.

Actually, they weren't unaware of this, but they had been deliberately avoiding topics related to Huang Sichen.

After all, he's a veteran from the same team. Even though he "crashed" at the Sichuan West 320, no one would doubt his ability.

Huang Sichen came in with great momentum this time, clearly for a revenge battle and to prove his strength. He will definitely go all out.

Going head-to-head with a T1 driver giving it their all? They really don't have much confidence.

Instead of risking a race against Huang Sichen, it's better to play it safe and aim for second place.

Don't seek merit, just avoid mistakes!

For them, even if they get second or third place, or even a top ten finish, they can still earn personal points, and the team will give them bonuses.

There's really no need to take such a risk.

So they all tacitly agreed not to talk about Huang Sichen.

But Liu Jun is different.

He's still young, he doesn't have many things to weigh, and he has a partner who wholeheartedly supports him.

Just do it!

With the roar of engines, Liu Jun caught up with the leading group of five cars and overtook them after a brief period of running alongside them.

"This guy."

"Did it trigger stress?"

The five racers in the leading group all complained.

"Driving so recklessly at such a fast pace, do you think you're driving a specially tuned car from a high-class motorcade?"

"I think he thinks he's better than Huang Sichen just because he beat Huang Sichen once."

"Let him go. I want to see how long these individual drivers can keep up with such aggressive modifications."

"That's right, don't let him sway our rhythm. Besides, our car's setup and parameters have already been finalized; we just need to follow the plan!"

「···」

······

Chen Yixin remarked with emotion, "It's so good to be young. If I were four or five years younger, I might have worked hard alongside him too."

Hu Zhihe: "Who says otherwise? Who wouldn't want to give it a shot? Too bad, tsk~ Hey? Wait, Lao Wu, what are you doing?!"

Old Wu is speeding up!

He actually managed to pull away from the two of them and chased after Liu Jun!

Chen Yixin: "Damn, Lao Wu, are you serious?"

Old Wu laughed loudly, "Ha, I couldn't help it, I just couldn't resist!"

"You know me. I thought I had given up a long time ago, but I didn't expect that after chatting with Liu Jun for a few minutes last time, I couldn't hold back anymore."

The two pressed further, "What did you talk about? No wonder you were so fierce in the last game, drinking 'I Love a Piece of Firewood' with 'Te'!"

Old Wu gradually calmed down: "He said..."

"I'm not young anymore, but I'll never be younger than I am today in my entire life."

Chen Yixin and Hu Zhihe fell silent.

Even breathing stopped for a moment.

It felt as if a string in my heart had been plucked.

In my mind, it felt as if a long-severed nerve was being reconnected at this moment.
