Chapter 263 25. Floating Vehicle

“So awesome—”

Standing in the car, pulling at the open door, Oliver looked down at the land of the Badlands and couldn't help but shout.

"Be careful you don't fall, Oliver."

Although Jack was standing at the open door of the hovercraft like Oliver, he did not seem as excited as Oliver, or at least, on the surface, he did not seem as excited as Oliver.

He held onto the upper door frame of the hovercraft with one hand, leaned out halfway, and looked toward the ground which was more than 60 meters away from him: "This feeling of looking down from a high place and seeing everything become smaller is really amazing."

"That's right, even if you look down from a tall building in the city, you won't feel this way!"

Oliver looked at Night City in the distance and waved, "Goodbye, Night City!"

"Everyone, be careful. Once you're almost there, it's time to close the hatch and start accelerating."

Sitting in his seat, Carl did not look down from the open door like Oliver and Jack. Instead, he felt the stability of the hovercraft and focused his eyes on the artificial intelligence control panel inside the hovercraft.

The Durandal hovercraft that Mr. Kenichi Shiro lent him was a hovercraft equipped with a turbofan vector engine. Because it was positioned as a comfortable luxury car, its speed was not as fast as those streamlined military hovercrafts similar to low-altitude fighters that were specially used to transport soldiers. However, its speed was not slow either. When it was started at full speed, it could reach 400 miles per hour. (About 643 kilometers, refer to the 2020 Mach hovercraft)
400 miles per hour, in Carl's era, was comparable to the speed of a small passenger plane.

"At this rate, how long will it take us to see V?"

After watching for a few minutes, Jack sat down across from Carl and asked the key question: "How far away was V when he last contacted us?"

"Look at the automatic route planning on the control panel. It's all there."

While answering Jack, Carl took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator on the right side of the car. After taking a few glances, he found that it was actually real orange juice.

It is worthy of being Mr. Kenichi Shiro's car, real orange juice, it’s a luxury just to think about it.

Carl drank the sweet and sour cold orange juice and watched Jack leaning over to look at the control panel. Suddenly he remembered something and turned to Oliver who was still looking at the scenery and asked, "Speaking of which, Oliver, it seems that this hovercraft can be switched to manual control. Do you want to try it?"

"Driving a hovercraft? Aren't you afraid that I'll crash it?"

Having said that, Oliver was still interested in Karl's words. He sat back in his seat, looked at Karl opposite him and asked, "How do I control this thing?"

"Jack."

Carl called out and turned sideways in his seat, staring at Jack on the control panel: "Press the manual assist control on the screen and switch out that function for Oliver to experience."

"Would you like to access it?"

"It will be needed later, but you can just press it Jack."

"Row."

Jack pressed the manual assist control on the control panel, and with an extremely slight mechanical sound of movement, an oval column rose between the seats on both sides, and on the column, there were several glowing access ports.

"Try?"

Under Carl's inquiring gaze, Oliver pulled out the connecting wire from his wrist and connected it to the pillar.

'Control has been transferred.'

Amid the mechanical sounds in the car, Oliver's eyes lit up, emitting a faint blue light, and lines of data flowed in his eyes.

"how do you feel?"

"Try it first."

Oliver said this and tried to control the car door to close. With just a thought, the door that was originally open began to close. The lights in the car came on, and the crystal ball technology similar to the sword in the stone was at the window position, showing the scenery outside.

“It feels wonderful.”

Oliver said: "It's like this hovercraft has become an extension of my body. I can make it turn right when I want it to turn right, and move forward when I want it to move forward."

"Then try to fly first?"

T-BUG's voice rang out. She did not follow the other three members of the team out of the city. She leaned on the ball lying in the car to connect the voice: "If it works, let me try it with the ball later."

"That's rare, T-BUG. I thought you weren't interested in vehicles or anything."

Jack sat up straight and said as he looked at Qiuqiu who was standing up from the ground.

"No, I just want to get familiar with the hovercraft's program. Maybe I'll have a chance to use it to hack into a hovercraft in the future. I haven't tried this before."

T-BUG said so, controlling the ball to extend its claws and gently pat Oliver's leg: "Try to speed up and fly to the destination, Oliver."

“I’m trying.”

Oliver said as the hovercraft slowly began to turn. "The strong hurricane just passed Night City not far away. Don't rush me. You don't want me to lose the direction later. Speed ​​up and go find the strong hurricane."

After saying this, Carl was about to say something, but suddenly the hovercraft shook, and the orange juice in his hand almost spilled out.

"Ok?"

Before Carl could react, a strong inertia pressed his body down on the seat.

"what?!"

Jack's pupils suddenly dilated, but like Carl, he didn't have time to say anything before he was pressed down on the seat by inertia.

The vehicle did not move forward or backward. The moment Oliver started to accelerate, it began to rise rapidly upwards.

The height on the control panel was soaring.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, four hundred meters, eight hundred meters——

"Oliver, are you driving this thing like a helicopter? Even ordinary helicopters can't rise this fast!"

“I’ve already started it!”

Carl's questioning only received a response from Oliver, who suddenly became excited for some reason. Then, the upward trend suddenly stopped. Carl felt his body shake and almost jumped off his seat.

“Start speeding up!”

As these words were spoken, Carl, who had just recovered from the ascent, noticed that the speed of the hovercraft suddenly increased, and his body was thrown to the side closer to the door due to inertia.

Carl and Jack's faces twisted as they watched the scenery outside the window rapidly change and begin to blur.

Oops, they forgot that Oliver is a speed racing fanatic!

Normally, he would only express his road rage in the city due to the road restrictions. Now he has a wide open space to race, and this restraint has been
"Damn that San Domingo driver!"

Carl was now just glad that he had prepared the parachute early to prevent any accidents.
