The construction standards for highways in Germany involve a 12-lane superhighway, equipped with communication devices on both sides for signal transmission. The lanes for autonomous vehicles feature a special surface layer that enhances signal strength, maintains monitoring, and allows for wireless power transfer to keep these vehicles’ functional components active.
Under the unified traffic network control system, vehicles and automatic machinery pass through orderly, with the roads almost always filled with traffic—
But today, that order was suddenly disrupted!
Suddenly, the entire highway segnt experienced a montary signal blockage!
"Beep—"
The indicator light on a monitoring heavy drone suddenly changed from green to yellow, flashed a few tis, then broke away from the drone fleet, crashing directly towards the Mackinaw Mammoth on the road!
"Watch out for the impact!"
Despite Phantom’s ergency braking, the Mackinaw was still traveling at over 150 kiloters per hour. This drone, weighing nearly 300 kilograms, struck the car like a Heavy Hamr!
Bam!
Out of nowhere, the orderly highway was invaded by an unexpected guest, and the impacted Mackinaw lost control and took flight on the road!
Such a sudden scene, the violent kinetic impact left everyone’s minds blank:
On a car steadily cruising in a straight line, going over 200 kiloters per hour feels like nothing—
But when the car isn’t stable, the current speed is enough to shake their brains to mush!
In such a situation, only two people reacted beyond limits:
Phantom and Iron Hand found the world slowing down amidst the spinning—
Their brains suddenly realized that their military prosthetics had been unlocked!
Krensky was now in effect!
Phantom’s Prosthetic Eye turned red: blood-red warning boxes filled her vision, making it impossible for her to see the outside world, with only the blue prompt on the steering wheel remaining visible:
[Hold the steering wheel tightly!]
In chaos, people are controlled by various hormones, their minds in disarray, losing the ability to filter and judge countless bits of information from the outside world. However, these red boxes prevented her from receiving more information, instead focusing her on the steering wheel!
Iron Hand’s mind experienced the sa situation, except his instructions were more extre:
[Hold the safety bar, open the door!]
He felt as if he were in a holographic combat ga, with only a few attack points remaining in his chaotic vision to guide his strikes—
At this mont, any ineffective thought could plunge the car into an abyss. Luckily, Iron Hand didn’t engage in excess thinking...
Because he knew he couldn’t co up with anything!
In the spin, Iron Hand felt his body being torn, and even the simple act of opening the door beca incredibly difficult—
Each action in a deceleration state tested a person’s willpower and strength!
Bam!
He punched open the car door, which supported the overturned vehicle like a stopping device, withstanding the car’s massive kinetic force that instantly deford and squeezed, breaking off from the body!
But this little support also gave the car front a counteracting force—
Boom!
In the terrified gaze of the car owner behind, the drone crashed and exploded in an instant, depicting a terrifying accident!
But even more horrifying was that the pickup truck bounced up, twisting like a gymnast!
The unlucky soul who was driving closely behind had his hands leave the steering wheel instantly. The entire Mackinaw that had overturned in the traffic flow scraped crazily, gradually planting its feet firm—
In a state of shock, Elliot was strapped immobile in the seatbelt, but Alina and her two companions reacted quickly:
"The EBM’s gone crazy, daring to act within the European Union?!"
"Isn’t this normal! EBM is not just a paper tiger! Iron Hand!"
Phantom grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and activated the "ergency button" unique to this limited edition Mackinaw Mammoth with the other—
Mackinaw General Vehicles Company, after all, is the company with floating cars, and as a reporter who once mingled with the big shots, this car optimized the engine assembly, adding an additional combustion chamber that burns ac2H fuel...
Boom—
The vehicle accelerated instantly, tires leaving large black smokes on the ground!
Iron Hand, completing extre actions in just two seconds, wasn’t in good conditions:
He indeed opened the car door, but his hand didn’t retract. His prosthetic arm rely brushed against the ground... In his perception, just slightly, slightly protruding beyond the car body.
Only slightly protruding beyond the car body, the friction in the rapid state nearly tore his hand apart; he even felt his body being ripped in two!
The lower arm of the prosthetic arm broke, and Iron Hand looked as though he hadn’t been attacked, yet his shirt was soaked with blood, staining it red!
"Damn..." Iron Hand’s voice was hoarse, "I can’t move..."
"Then sit tight—there’s more!"
"Beep beep—"
Before Phantom’s words could fall, an empty transport truck on the autonomous lane slowed down and veered off, performing a super lane-crossing pass!
Her reaction was swift enough, maneuvering the Mackinaw swiftly to avoid it, but the cars behind weren’t so lucky:
On this highway, supercars driving at 200 kiloters per hour are never scarce, and accidents at this speed are catastrophic!
Boom!
The highway, symbolizing the European Union’s mighty infrastructural capabilities, instantly transford into a massive crematorium. The first car collided with the truck at high speed, triggering a massive explosion, forcing the trailing cars to either brake or turn the steering wheel, often executing both.
Once traffic guidance is lost, at such speed, it’s hard for humans to escape instinct. Yet any miscalculation in instinct at this speed can beco a monuntal error—
The explosion spurred greater panic among pursuers; a single tense steering wheel turn transford the car into a lethal missile on the highway, staging a terrifying chain crash...
Boom...
Continuous fireballs rose from the road, leaving the traumatized occupants inside the vehicles speechless for a long ti...
With only a dozen kiloters left from Bren, after a brief chaos, a fleet of floating cars and drones arrived over the highway from the city, soon regaining control of the malfunctioning drones. Whether they still had backup plans, or simply hadn’t anticipated that they couldn’t kill everyone in the cars, remained unclear.
The attack seed rushed, but actually, deploying a six-figure interdiate drone couldn’t really be considered a small cost; moreover, who would have thought an impact at such a speed would leave anyone alive...
"Screw you!"
Phantom reached his hand out of the car window, flipping off the trailing vehicles and drones.
Back in the car, he and Iron Hand exchanged glances, seeing a mutual, profound aning in each other’s eyes...
What did they just witness?
Moreover, military prosthetics are strictly prohibited within the European Union.
Clearly, EBM prepared for the attack by shutting off the EU signal equipnt for that route segnt just now, but this didn’t imply they could unlock the firmware of military prosthetics...
Not to ntion that they had just escaped from the fireball, and the firmware lock was reinstated.
That’s too smart.
Sothing’s fishy!
