We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

Almost the instant the system notification sounded, an unimaginably massive flow of driving information, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly washed over every cell in Lin Ye's brain.

The perfect timing for the accelerator and clutch, the weight transfer during extreme drifts, and even the most precise grip that each tire needs to provide on sand, snow, or swamps...

The experience and skills that countless top race car drivers, stunt drivers, and even armored vehicle drivers spend their entire lives honing are transformed into his physical instincts at this moment.

He and the wrecked SUV seemed to have become one.

boom--!!!

The engine, which had been coughing violently, suddenly erupted with a furious roar that was completely out of character for its dilapidated appearance, like the awakening of a prehistoric behemoth!

Lin Ye's foot left dazzling afterimages as he pressed the accelerator and clutch.

"Creak—!"

The severely deformed frame groaned under the strain.

The next second, this wrecked steel monster, like a completely enraged bison, completed an extreme drift that defied the laws of physics, its tires kicking up clouds of dust as it charged headlong into the depths of the town's ruins!

"What is he trying to do?!"

Inside the Apache's cockpit, the pilot stared blankly at the red dot on the radar that had suddenly sped through the ruins at 120 kilometers per hour.

That's not a highway!

It was a complex hell filled with collapsed walls, reinforced concrete, and huge bomb craters!

"Da da da da da!"

He instinctively pressed down on the control lever, and the 30mm cannon spewed fire again.

However, this time, his attack seemed so weak and ineffective.

Under Lin Ye's control, the dilapidated car seemed to come alive.

With a swift, sweeping motion, he narrowly avoided a volley of bullets, clinging to a broken load-bearing wall.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye jerked the steering wheel, tilting the car at an odd angle, using only two wheels to speed through a narrow alleyway that was just over a meter wide, leaving all the incoming shells behind.

"Fuck! Fuck! He's the devil!"

The driver was so angry that he cursed loudly. He turned the machine gun to its maximum rate of fire, and the bullets were like a metal storm, chasing after the rear of the off-road vehicle and tearing at it.

No matter how he anticipated it or how he tried to block it, the car always managed to make the most unbelievable evasive maneuver half a second in advance.

Bullets can only ever end up in the dust!

······

Dragon Kingdom, underground command center.

Everyone stood up, staring intently at the scene on the big screen that resembled a special effects movie.

"What is he doing? Is he risking his life?!"

"This...this is terrain where even a rally champion would crash! His speed...is over 150!"

"The chassis and suspension of this car were totaled long ago, how did he manage to keep it balanced?!"

The generals' worldview has been refreshed once again.

······

Inside the SUV, Lin Ye's expression remained unusually calm.

He even had the leisure to free up his right hand and reach into the open red, white, and blue snakeskin bag on the passenger seat, where he began to rummage through it.

With his left hand firmly on the steering wheel, he continued to perform the most magnificent dance in the forbidden zone of death.

"We've run out of rocket launchers... we can't throw grenades... and the fuses on the C4 have rusted..."

He muttered to himself, as if he were taking stock of his few remaining office supplies.

Soon, his fingers touched a cold, heavy, and violently beautiful metal object.

Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he pulled it out without hesitation.

That was a gun.

A specially made heavy anti-materiel sniper rifle that is even more exaggerated and ferocious than the previous Barrett M82A1!

The gun is longer, has a larger caliber, and even has an extremely exaggerated hydraulic buffer device installed behind the stock.

This is the Blood Fox Mercenary Group's most prized possession, a modified version of a monster specifically designed to deal with lightly armored units!

The moment the gun appeared on the satellite monitoring screen, the technicians in the command center gasped in surprise.

"XM109! 25mm caliber! My God! What is he trying to do?!"

A weapons analyst, his face ashen and voice trembling, exclaimed, "He's insane! He's absolutely insane! Using this kind of recoil monster with one hand in a high-speed, violently jolting off-road vehicle?!"

"Forget about hitting the target, the terrifying recoil at the moment of firing was enough to shatter his entire arm, along with his collarbone, into a comminuted fracture!"

Lin Ye placed the weapon, weighing several dozen kilograms, against the car window frame with one hand, then looked up and scanned the area ahead rapidly.

Soon, his gaze settled on the edge of the town.

There, there is the remains of an overpass that was blown in half during a previous bombing, leaving only half of the bridge deck and tilting upwards at a 45-degree angle!

A crazy idea instantly took shape in his mind.

The Apache's pilot was completely enraged.

He abandoned the use of machine guns for precise kills and switched to a different weapon system.

"Die, you bug!"

He pressed the launch button, and two rockets, trailing plumes of fire, roared out from the pylons on either side of the helicopter, creating crossfire and blocking all routes for the off-road vehicle to advance.

However, faced with this certain death, Lin Ye not only did not slow down, but instead stepped on the gas pedal to the floor!

The engine emitted a desperate howl as it approached its limit.

The dilapidated SUV transformed into a black lightning bolt, relentlessly speeding towards the leaning, broken bridge ruins!

The next second, under everyone's gaze.

boom--!!!

With unstoppable momentum, the off-road vehicle crashed heavily onto the sloping bridge!

The wheels rubbed violently against the concrete, sending sparks flying everywhere!

The entire vehicle, as if breaking free from the shackles of gravity, soared into the sky along that 45-degree slope!

It took flight!

It hurtled head-on towards the Apache attack helicopter that was descending in mid-air, like a primitive and fearless suicide bomb!

The helicopter pilot was terrified as he watched the car rapidly enlarging and hurtling towards him with an aura of madness. His mind went completely blank!

He instinctively and frantically pulled the control stick upwards, trying to make the helicopter climb urgently!

But it was all too late.

Just moments before the two were about to collide.

While inside the SUV, which was suspended in mid-air, Lin Ye kicked open the badly deformed passenger door.

He steadily placed the extravagantly designed heavy sniper rifle on the car window frame.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

Lin Ye's face was expressionless, and his clear eyes were filled with absolute calmness and focus.

Through the scope, ignoring the terrified, distorted face in the cockpit, he fixed his gaze on the top of the helicopter, below the rapidly spinning main rotor, at the most vulnerable connection between the fuel tank and the hydraulic system.

He pulled the trigger.
