My MCV and Doomsday
chapter-504

Li Yuxin returned just in time before they departed. Jiang Liushi and the others were already gathered downstairs.

"Fortunately, I came early in the morning. Otherwise, you would all have set off, leaving me alone," said Li Yuxin with a pouty face.

"You don't have to come. You can spend some more time with your family," said Jiang Liushi with a smile.

"No, I am also a member of the team," said Li Yuxin, and then she sat down on the sofa.

The previous day, she had gone to help her grandfather and her mother to settle down. The Jiangning Safety Zone's living conditions were pretty good, but it still couldn't be compared with Huaxia Region and some other areas. Fortunately, the Jiangning Safety Zone would be transformed into a Region soon. At least, the two professors could live safely there.

Jiang Liushi smiled slightly.

However, after getting in the minibus, a strange light flickered in his eyes. He could not help but wonder when the threat which Starseed had detected would strike.

"We're heading out!"

Zhang Hai and Sun Kun boarded their armored off-road vehicle, ready to follow behind the minibus.

In the parking lot near the Security Zone's gate, six military trucks and two off-road vehicles were parked. On both sides of all the vehicles were painted black panthers, which were chasing after their prey.

Captain Guan and Zhang Haojing were standing beside the vehicles. As soon as Jiang Liushi and his teammates appeared, they all started at them.

"I heard that the minibus is remarkable," said Zhang Haojing.

Zhang Haojing had already inquired about Jiang Liushi and everything related to his team. It was not hard to find about the commotion Jiang Liushi had created the previous day in the parking as it had already spread in their cycle. He had also learned that General Zhang held Jiang Liushi and his minibus in high regard…

"But I think it's rather normal. Compared to our vehicles, it's nothing special," said Zhang Haojing while patting his own car.

Zhang Haojing's car was reinforced with thick steel plates and bars. It was also covered with a layer of anti-collision material. Even if it were to collide with a mutant beast, it would not break apart. Its engine had also been specially modified to accelerate and run fast. In the whole Jiangning Safety Zone, not all teams could be equipped with such an excellent vehicle. In Zhang Haojing's eyes, Jiang Liushi's minibus looked quite common and dull.

"Our vehicles are nothing special. But Jiang Liushi's minibus may be equipped with something unique," said Captain Guan. At the same time, his pupils suddenly shrank. "However, that vehicle is truly powerful! Look!"

Suddenly, a low humming sound came.

Jiang Liushi couldn't help but turn his head and look at the direction of the sound. The sound was coming from a unique-shaped red truck. On both sides of its front were two exhaust stacks and on its rear, where the trailer was supposed to be, was a missile-like object, emitting black smoke.

"What's that?" asked Jiang Liushi in surprise. He had never seen before such a vehicle.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the so-called Shockwave 1 , a jet-truck!" Ling suddenly exclaimed. "That kind of truck is equipped with three jet engines, and its speed can reach 600 kilometers per hour!"

"What? 600 kilometers per hour? How much fuel is needed to fill its tank? It probably burns a barrel of fuel in less than 10 minutes, right?" asked Jiang Liushi.

"No, not at all." Ran Xiyu shook her head. "I once saw a real Shockwave in an airshow 2 . That Shockwave was used to perform and compare its speed with planes. This one is probably a modified truck based on the design of the Shockwave."

"Oh!" Jiang Liushi was suddenly enlightened. 600 kilometers per hour was indeed terrible!

Jiang Liushi's interest on the real Shockwave and the Super Shockwave was piqued. If one were simply to talk about speed, there were some super-fast cars before doomsday that could reach 400 kilometers per hour. However, those cars were useless in this post-apocalyptic world. If his minibus could reach such a speed, they'd have another ace in their sleeves for survival.

"Brother Jiang, you should know that only one Shockwave has been produced here. It seems that they have dismantled the original one and equipped its parts to the one before us," explained Ran Xiyu after sensing his mind's state.

"…only one…" Jiang Liushi was somewhat disappointed. That meant it would be difficult for him to find another one, especially in this post-apocalyptic world.

Jiang Liushi looked at the cheap imitation and guessed that its driver would also love to get his hands on an original Shockwave.

'Om!'

Suddenly, the red truck made an exaggerated turn and came to a stop. Then, its door was opened, and two men jumped out.

The driver was wearing a driving suit and glasses, which made him look rather kind. It seemed that he was completely out of tune with his car. The other person that had come down looked around at random. On his back was a big sword, which was wrapped with lots of cloth strips. His gaze was extremely cold. It was evident that he had experienced lots of battles.

"Very strong energy fluctuations," exclaimed Jiang Zhuying.

It seemed that the two newcomers were either level-2 paranormals or infinitely close to breaking through to level-2. But who were they?

"Captain Bai and Mr. Min!" Zhang Haojing shouted happily and walked toward them quickly. "This car should be Roarer, right? I've heard about it." Zhang Haojing became excited. He hadn't expected that Captain Bai and Mr. Min, who were from the Huaxia Region, would deliberately drive the Roarer here.

The Roarer was remodeled by Captain Bai in person. Also because of him, the Huaxia Region's planes could fly to other areas. Zhang Haojing had already inquired about the two the moment they had arrived at Jiangning Security Zone. But it was the first time for him to see the Roarer.

Bai Jiayan and Min Qiang weren't soldiers, but they were actually affiliated paranormals. In the Huaxia Region, the military collaborated with paranormals.

"Yes, this is Roarer," replied Bai Jiayan confidently. He was quite familiar with other people's shocked expressions.

"Captain Guan, I heard that you're planning to go to the center and carry out some missions. We would also like to go there, so we'll accompany you," said Bai Jiayan.

Captain Guan was stunned after hearing that.

"Is there a problem with this?" asked Bai Jiayan, noticing Captain Guan's complicated expression. "Your higher-ups have already agreed to our request. You can rest assured that we will not affect your missions."

"Well…" Captain Guan paused and then he looked at Jiang Liushi's minibus. "There is a survivors' team that we have to lead there. It's an order."

"Oh…but it's not a problem," said Bai Jiayan. However, in his heart, he felt it was quite strange that they could survive in this world by relying on that minibus.

"The captain of this team is quite good at refitting cars. And it is said that his minibus is extremely powerful. I wonder whether it could be compared with your Roarer," Zhang Haijing said suddenly with a wicked smile. He did that on purpose because he wanted to show to Ran Xiyu that Jiang Liushi was not invincible. And then it would be easier for him to persuade her to leave Jiang Liushi's team/

"Oh, really? I'm a little bit curious," said Bai Jiayan happily.

However, he just glanced at Jiang Liushi's minibus. He was very confident about the Roarer and believed that the common-looking minibus could not be compared with it at all.

"Let's go!" Captain Guan shouted, and then all of his members got on their cars.

Captain Guan and Zhang Haojing also returned back to their own cars.

'Boom!'

The Safety Zone's gate was opened, and several cars rushed out one by one, heading toward Jiangning's center.

"They are from the Huaxia Region. Brother Jiang, you weren't willing to meet them, but in the end, we did…" said Ran Xiyu.

"General Zhang must have not told them anything about me. It's okay, there's no need to worry. Anyway, there's only one path we can follow now," said Jiang Liushi. He didn't take General Zhang's decision at heart as he had simply arranged for those soldiers to accompany him out of his good will.

The Roarer rushed to the front swiftly and kept leading them the whole way. Its speed was way faster than the military vehicles. The thick black smoke billowing from the exhaust stacks on the empty streets added a sense of sorrow.

Jiang Liushi's minibus just followed them. Their destination was not far at all, so Jiang Liushi wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he paid more attention to Starseed. After transmitting the warning in the morning, it had not warned him again.

"Zhang Hai," Jiang Liushi slowed down and shouted to Zhang Hai and Sun Kun. "After we collect the materials from the two helicopters, we will immediately head back to Hejiang Town."

"Okay, we got it," replied Zhang Hai.

Jiang Liushi was pretty happy because as long as all the materials were collected, his minibus could be upgraded at once.

"Uh, you should be careful," added Jiang Liushi.

…

The convoy created a huge sound, so more and more zombies started appearing and rushing at them.

On the front of the Roarer was a machine gun, aiming at those zombies. Wherever the zombies tried to climb on the truck, Min Qiang slammed them with his hand down to the ground directly. Generally speaking, the zombies' speed had transcended the limits imposed on humans, but Min Qiang made it seem like he was an adult dealing with children.

Jiang Liushi had noticed that and was astounded by Min Qiang's strength. Moreover, Min Qiang had never come in contact with the zombies' bodies. He just slammed his hands in the empty air, and the zombies fell off.

In the military trucks, many muzzles could be seen aiming at the zombies outside. The whole team kept screaming along the way. Accompanied by constant gunshots and the zombies' growls, they rushed forward, leaving a path of blood and corpses on the road. Most of the zombies that were not killed by the gunshots were torn in pieces by their partners at once…

Shockwave, a triple jet-engine truck on a 260-in­ch (660-cm) wheelbase, holds the Guinness­ record for jet-truck speed at 376 miles per hour (605 kph). Driving on a runway, Shockwave races airplanes that are flying above it at 300 miles per hour.

https://auto.howstuffworks.com/question647.htm An air show, (or airshow, air fair, air tattoo) is a public event where aircraft are exhibited. They often include aerobatics demonstrations, without they are called "static air shows" with aircraft parked on the ground.

The largest is Le Bourget followed by Farnborough, while Dubai air show and Singapore Air Show are both claiming the third place.
