I'm caught in the cycle of endless competition, you're waiting for me in the apocalypse.

Despite the immense panic, An Xin remained remarkably calm.

She looked around and quickly rushed towards a luxury car parked by the track. Pushing aside the person who was about to get in, she snatched the helmet from their hand, quickly put it on, and then jumped into the driver's seat, shouting, "I'm Wei Ran's friend, can I borrow your car? It's a matter of life and death."

Before the person could answer, a speed boost left the bewildered person far behind.

"What's going on? Why are there cars that just drove onto the track?"

"That's not right, the number of participating vehicles at the start was correct."

"I wonder who it is. They started half a minute late. How can they catch up with the leading group?"

...At this moment, some spectators saw a car start moving and chasing after it on the track, and they began to whisper among themselves.

"Hurry, hurry, we must catch up..." An Xin used every trick in the book, focusing intently on driving.

After a straight section comes the first curve, which is a hairpin bend.

"Xinxin, there's a hairpin bend 50 meters ahead." Diting, sitting in the passenger seat, was providing her with real-time navigation.

An Xin didn't even blink, and with a cool drift, she turned around. Then, on a long, straight stretch of track, she floored the accelerator.

After several more bends, she finally caught up with the car in front of her just before reaching the starting point.

"One lap already, two more laps to go. I wonder how long Dr. Qi can keep going..."

"Dr. Qi is still alright, but she can only manage one more lap at most. Hang in there, Xinxin!"

An Xin knew that catching up with the cars behind her on this lap wouldn't be a problem, but the hardest part was catching up with the lead cars and rescuing Qi Mingxuan.

Just as she was desperately trying to overtake other cars, thinking only about how to save Qi Mingxuan, the audience in the stands erupted in cheers.

"Damn, who is this? Starting so late, he's already overtaken so many cars in just one lap."

"Look, we've already reached the second group. At this speed, we'll catch up with the first group of cars soon."

The audience followed the race in real time on the big screen, holding their breath for the latecomer "brother" while also being thrilled by her relentless driving style – that's what speed and passion are all about!

An Xin continued to overtake, drifting a few more times, leaving the second-tier cars behind, and finally catching up with the leading cars.

"Holy crap! What's going on! Who is this? Are they out of their mind?" Lei Yao had just been overtaken on a bend, and he stuck his head out and started yelling at the rear of the car.

"Which hero? Don't you care about anyone? You're driving a bit crazy, but I like it." Fang Yinuo said with a playful expression, stepping on the gas and following closely behind.

"Damn, is this car here to race, or to risk their lives?" Wei Ran noticed the car in the rearview mirror and felt it wasn't there to race, but rather like it was being chased and desperately trying to escape. That kind of race against time was something these amateurs couldn't match.

This is the method of opening that was taught to me by the captain of the post-apocalyptic superpower team.

The highway outside the National Kyoto Morning Star Base was cleared by superhumans and the military, and apart from the occasional zombie or mutated animal, it was completely unobstructed. An Xin learned to drive on such highways; slowing down was a thing of the past, she just drove recklessly. If she encountered a zombie, she would ram it without fear. Sometimes, when going on missions to more distant areas and encountering high-level or speed-type zombies, she would floor the accelerator without hesitation.

Just kidding, An Xin couldn't compete with these rich kids and race car drivers in terms of skill. But when it came to daring and recklessness, that was something these people couldn't match.

Without slowing down, An Xin overtook Wei Ran's car on the bend and closely followed Qi Mingxuan's car, becoming second in the group.

"Xiao Jiu, get ready, take out the spirit liquid that's half full."

Fortunately, she drank half a bottle of the elixir every day while she was hospitalized, and luckily, she had left behind a half-full bottle. It's perfect for Qi Mingxuan, who is currently under the influence of the drug.

An Xin finally caught up with Qi Mingxuan's car on the straight section of the track before the starting line. She rolled down her window, shouted loudly, and waved frantically, signaling him to roll down his window as well.

Qi Mingxuan had noticed the car earlier. It was now level with his race car, showing no intention of overtaking or causing any harm, and had even rolled down its window. Seeing the driver waving wildly at him, he hesitated for a moment before rolling down his own window to see what the other driver wanted.

"Someone wants to harm you... They put a drug in your drink..." The wind rushed into the car, and the roar of the engine made An Xin's shouts intermittent and indistinct.

She simply took off her helmet and repeated what she had just said to Qi Mingxuan.

The strong wind made An Xin's black hair fly wildly, and because of her urgent shouts and worries, her face was pale and she even looked a bit disheveled.

In the other car, Qi Mingxuan froze the moment she took off her helmet. He was met with those beautiful peach blossom eyes, and the determination in them almost made him lose himself in thought.

"Don't just stand there! What's wrong with Qi Mingxuan? Has the drug taken effect? ​​... No, Xiao Jiu, we can only rely on you. Quickly send the elixir over..."

"Ah? Shall I go?"

"There's no other way. The car was going too fast, and the wind was too strong. You can see that Qi Mingxuan is clearly not in the right state of mind. Throwing the spirit liquid over there would be too risky. So what if we're exposed? He already knows so much, what's one more thing to worry about..."

“Alright…” Di Ting, with the spirit liquid bottle in its mouth, teleported into Qi Mingxuan’s car.

"Don't stand there, someone put a sleeping potion in your drink. You should have sensed it by now. Quickly drink this antidote! Hurry..." Di Ting handed him the bottle of spirit liquid, expecting him to explain a few more words, but unexpectedly, Qi Mingxuan raised his helmet, kept one hand steady on the steering wheel, took the bottle of spirit liquid with the other, and drank it down in one gulp. Pulling down his helmet, he thanked Di Ting.

"My mission is complete. We can discuss everything else after your match." After hearing this, Di Ting teleported back to An Xin's car. "All done, let's go."

An Xin put on her helmet, floored the accelerator again, and overtook Qi Mingxuan. However, she didn't want to do anything to grab attention, because she couldn't explain how a girl who was new to racing could drift and even win against a group of big shots. Besides, she didn't want to expose herself and attract the attention of Anna and the mastermind behind the scenes. It's more satisfying to keep the enemy in the dark while the enemy is in the open.

With these thoughts in mind, An Xin, under Di Ting's guidance, drove away from the race venue through a safety exit beside the track, circled around, and parked the car behind the stands. She found a back door, quietly slipped back to the betting point, and simultaneously called the bodyguards in charge, saying she had gone to the restroom and was now back at the betting point, instructing them to guard the entrance.

A short while later, the race ended, and the drivers got out of their cars. No one in the stands was discussing the top three; everyone was looking for the car that had started late but briefly overtook the leader.

"Hey, where's that daredevil car?"

"I don't know. After overtaking Qi Shen's car, it disappeared. It seems to have exited the track's safety exit."

"Did you even see it clearly? Who would give up first place? Besides, that car was driven so recklessly, it was almost reckless. You're saying he won first place and then quit halfway through? What was he after?"

"Exactly! I really want to know which big shot is so brave."

"But we can't find it. All the cars have arrived, and there are no reports of accidents along the way..."

The audience was chattering amongst themselves, and the drivers were also curious.

"Damn it, which reckless kid almost blew my car off the track?" As soon as Lei Yao got off the car, he took off his helmet and threw it on the ground.

"I quite like this driving style. I wonder who it is, which club they're from. If I find out, I'll definitely hire them for a hefty sum." Fang Yinuo patted Lei Yao on the shoulder, then casually walked into the elevator.

“Lei Zi, to be honest, that guy is a really good driver. To drive like that, you can only call him crazy. Aren’t you tempted to recruit him into our club?” Wei Ran put his arm around Lei Yao’s shoulder and led him into the elevator. “Hey, Qi Mingxuan, I’ve seen that car parked next to yours for a while. Did you notice who that person was? I think that car looks like it belongs to your friend’s club.”

"Never seen her, don't know." Qi Mingxuan's face was cold, completely destroying his usual gentle and refined image. "Where's An Xin? Where is she?"

He knew the young girl didn't want her identity revealed, otherwise she wouldn't have quit halfway through. He concealed his knowledge of who the daredevil racer was by asking her questions.

When Wei Ran heard him say he was looking for An Xin, he frowned slightly and replied that he didn't know. He then calmly got off the elevator at the floor where the betting shop was located.
