Chapter 1180: 1180
Brother Black jumped onto the driver's seat . For the sake of convenience and speed, he even tore the door off . He proceeded to put the pedal to the metal .
The engine of the Ford Raptor let out a terrible roar . Large puffs of black smoke were ejected out of the exhaust . The tires rotated so fast that they skidded while producing harsh sounds of rubber friction . The vehicle instantly shot forward . The mud the tires rolled up shot more than ten meters behind the truck .
With impeccable timing, Sheyan jumped onto the back of the pickup truck at that exact moment while holding an old man who had fainted from fright . Although he had knocked down a few people while jumping onboard, he succeeded in boarding . Under his shout, all of them found something to tightly hold on to .
But the fearsome mudslide had already invaded the outer edge of the town, moving forward resolutely with a calm, stubborn, but simply unstoppable force! It did not matter whether the buildings in its way were rotten or solid, all of them were unable to resist its impact! They collapsed like dominoes!
From the moment Brother Black's foot stepped on the throttle, it never left its position, as if it had been soldered onto the throttle . The pickup truck, carrying the fate of everyone on it, streaked across the town road like a raging dragon, the mud left in its wake at least two meters high and the roar of its engine hoarse . Everything blocking its way, including other vehicles, was savagely smashed away! The terrible shaking caused some of the passengers on the Raptor to throw up violently . A few passengers even tied themselves to the vehicle to make sure they would not fall down .
The sky was already starting to turn bright at this time, so they could already see the mudslide . The speed of the mudslide may seem really slow from a distance, but when it got close, they could really feel how pressed for time they were! Every inch the mudslide advanced by was an inch of human living space lost . It really was a race against death itself!
As the mudslide approached, the sound it made turned even more deafening . They watched helplessly as hundreds of thousands of tons of rocks rolled down along with the mud; the sight so breathtaking it felt like the entire world was collapsing! Even some residents who had already evacuated to the safe area could not help running further away, screaming; the farther they distanced themselves, the safer they felt .
The smell of wet soil assaulted everyone's nose, mixed among it the fragrance of pine after being ground and crushed . Many people tightened up when they saw the distant Ford Raptor speeding over like it was surfing on waves .
The reason this spot was a safe area was due to the existence of a deep gully here . The width of the gully was about 20 meters, but its depth was over 200 meters . By the time the mudslide reached this spot, it was already stretched to its limit, and even if there were occasional surges, they would all flow into the gully .
So, as long as Brother Black could drive across the highway bridge spanning the gully, they would be safe .
However, although the highway bridge may seem to be in good condition, cracks had actually appeared in the supports due to the crashing impact of a few boulders . If Kulutego had not reinforced the supports with his biological power, the bridge would already be on the brink of collapse . Fortunately, Brother Black's driving skills was exceptional and he could always escape from danger at critical moments . The pickup truck had actually been caught in the mudslide several times, but it could always rush out of the mud like a raging horse .
This appeared hard to believe, but it was actually not difficult for Mogensha, who could even figure out a bullet's ricochet trajectory, to avoid the rocks inside the mud . He even performed a miracle with his driving technique less than 50 meters away from the highway bridge when they were about to be caught up by the mudslide . Anyone's reaction at such time would be to step harder on the gas pedal, but Mogensha chose to slam hard on the brake instead .
The cost of that was the truck ending up getting submerged in a large amount of mud for a few seconds, but the benefit was even more obvious - if the truck had not stopped for a few seconds, it would have collided into a rock that was at least as big as a three-storey building!
Alice Cullen, standing in the distance on an Alaskan pine tree, could not help muttering, "Those bastards have nerves made of steel!"
The face of her father, Carlisle Cullen, was grave .
"They're a bunch of humans who've wrestled with death for a long time . That's the only way they can be so calm during critical moments of life and death! Wait, what's that?!"
Carlisle Cullen suddenly turned his head, his sight drifting . He seemed to be staring into the clouds in the sky, but also at the rain pouring down, or at fate itself . Even an old vampire like him, who had lived since 1640, turned pale in an instant . He was terrified! He was gripped by fear!
