Xinhua Square was originally located in the west part of the city. The shortest path to the airport, as calculated by Jiang Pingce, was Xinhua Road -> Xiushui Road -> Dingxiang Avenue -> Kunlun East Road -> Kunlun West Road -> Bypass Highway -> Airport Highway.
It had been 5 minutes since the exam started and they had only just run up to Xiushui Road.
Yue Xingwen’s ‘Fast as Lightning’ team acceleration only lasted for 5 minutes. As Zhang Xiaonian’s bulldozer pushed its way to the end of Xiushui Road, the team-acceleration skill worn off just in time. Everyone clearly felt their running speed slowed down a lot.
Xiao Tu was carefully scouting for everyone. “Turn right at the end of the road ahead onto Dingxiang Avenue.”
After 5 minutes of acceleration, everyone was a little tired.
Yue Xingwen looked at the rapidly collapsing buildings behind him and asked, “Can you guys still run?”
Liu Zhaoqing said, “My physical strength is good, and I usually run more than ten kilometers.”
Yue Xingwen was certainly not worried about Jiang Pingce’s physical strength, because the two of them would often go to the sportsground together to run and exercise when they were at school. Senior brother Xu Yishen’s face had not changed by now, but Ke Shaobin, Zhang Xiaonian, and Qin Lu, the three of them, were clearly a bit unable to keep up physically, and had already started panting. He could not blame them, they probably did not usually run out like this.
Yue Xingwen swept his glance across Dingxiang Avenue. Thankfully, this side of Dingxiang Avenue belonged to the old part of the city. The whole road was not as spacious as the main road just now, but the advantage was that the buildings on both sides of the road were, for the most part, 3-story shops. The collapse of such a low building would pose a much smaller threat to them than a high-rise building.
The buildings on either side of Dingxiang Avenue had not collapsed at this time, and the entire roadway was smooth, without any signs of falling bricks or cement.
Zhang Xiaonian made a pause gesture with his hand, and the orange excavator obeyed his command to stop next to him.
Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and looked back at Zhang Xiaonian, “How long can you work this transformable machine?”
Zhang Xiaonian said, “One summoning can last for 10 minutes.”
Yue Xingwen asked, “What’s the fastest speed?”
Zhang Xiaonian replied, “The fastest speed is 50 km/hours.”
At 50 km/hours, that was about the same speed as a private car in the city when there was no traffic. The speed when riding it was certainly faster than a human running on two feet, and Yue Xingwen made up his mind and said decisively, “Everyone, let’s climb up!”
Everyone: “???”
Upon hearing this, everyone was wondering, so Yue Xingwen took the lead and climbed on the edge of the bulldozer, stepping on the chain next to it, and climbing up sharply with his hands and feet. Then, he turned back and held out his hand to Jiang Pingce, who reached out and was pulled by Yue Xingwen, climbing up in two leaps. The other teammates reacted to his meaning, and one by one, climbing up.
Zhang Xiaonian was a little confused at the moment—— Did bulldozers still have a capability to carry passengers?
Yue Xingwen finally pulled Zhang Xiaonian up and let him sit on top of the bulldozer’s cockpit.
As a result, 7 people were ‘hanging’ in a scattered position on a huge bulldozer—— Three sat side by side above the cockpit, and four of them hanging behind.
Liu Zhaoqing could not help but complain, “We are about to become an acrobatic troupe.”
Xu Yishen smirked and said, “It should be the demolition office.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Xiao Nian, go!”
Zhang Xiaonian’s right hand made a forward gesture, and the bulldozer took 7 people to move forward quickly.
The sound of the bulldozer moving forward was deafening, and the oncoming wind blew everyone’s hair, especially Xu Yishen, who was hanging behind, and his maroon curls were about to cover his entire face. Xu Yishen stroked his hair that covered his eyes and said with a smile, “It’s my first time riding a bulldozer, it’s so exciting.”
Everyone: “……”
It was everyone’s first time on a bulldozer, right?
The teammates could not cry or laugh, Xingwen really had a unique brainwave, that he could think of using a bulldozer to carry people.

It was not long before another loud ‘bang’ came from behind, and the three-story shop at the junction of Dingxiang Avenue also collapsed.

Those buildings looked like they were made of foam and could be turned into a pile of rubble in an instant. The street lights on both sides of the street fell one after another, billboards and lights fell like a blizzard, and the broken glass covered the entire road in the blink of an eye!
If they had not been on a bulldozer just now, they would not have been able to run without the team acceleration skill.
Everyone felt fear upon thinking about it.
The bulldozer carried seven people all the way forward and it only took them a few minutes to cover several kilometers of Dingxiang Avenue when Zhang Xiaonian reminded, “Everyone, get down, the time for my machine has almost run out!”
The machine from the Faculty of Architecture was indeed very strong, the excavator could actually switch and transform into a bulldozer, just like the Transformer. The disadvantage was that each summon could be used for 10 minutes, not unlimited.
Yue Xingwen took the lead and jumped off the bulldozer, and the others climbed down as well. Then, Zhang Xiaonian immediately put the machine back.
Xiao Tu’s crips mechanical voice shouted: “Turn left in front, get on the elevated road, and enter Kunlun East Road.”
The flyover was divided into two sections, Kunlun East Road + Kunlun West Road, which was the fastest way to the airport.
Jiang Pingce had also said before that the flyover was prone to collapse, but it was good that their displacement skills had not been used yet, so even if it collapsed halfway through, they could still plate movement or parabolic movement. Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen simply said, “Go, get on the bridge!”
This section of the road was nearly 800 meters. It was a common thing for them to run 800 meters in a PE class, and after sitting on the bulldozer to rest for a moment, their physical strength had been restored. Led by Yue Xingwen, everyone ran all the way to the entrance of the flyover in the blink of an eye.
At the moment when he was about to get on the bridge, Yue Xingwen suddenly noticed a vast outdoor parking lot with many vehicles parked nearby, and Yue Xingwen asked, “Which one of you can drive?”
Xu Yishen took the initiative to raise his hand. “I got the driver’s license after graduating from senior high school, four years of driving experience.”
Yue Xingwen looked at the collapsing buildings behind him, he estimated the time, and said, “There’s still time! I’ll trouble senior brother to go to the parking lot and see if there’s a seven-seater car available to use!”
Of course it was faster to drive a car than running with their legs, and it also saved effort!
Xu Yishen nodded, splitting into five shadows in place, one of which instantly appeared a few dozen meters away. Five identical Xu Yishen, disappearing like phantoms around the corner, dazzling the eyes.
Qin Lu and Zhang Xiaonian had never seen his special ability before, and when they looked at senior brother Xu’s back, their eyes were straight.
Yue Xingwen explained, “It’s not that you guys are blind. It’s the mitosis from the Faculty of Biological Science, those are his split bodies.”
Qin Lu returned to her senses, and asked, “Can the split body and the main body exchange positions?”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “En. We run two meters in a second, and he can put the split body to the distance, and run more than ten meters in a second.”
Zhang Xiaonian sighed. “It’s so powerful, I can’t even tell which one is him.”
Within a few minutes, the sound of a vehicle starting rang in everyone’s ears. Xu Yishen found a multi-purpose vehicle in the parking lot, drove it to his teammates and opened the door, “Come up!”
Yue Xingwen went to the passenger seat, and the others quickly got into the car and sat in the second and third rows.
The seven-seated multi-purpose vehicle could accommodate all seven of them, and when the last student closed the door, Xu Yishen stepped down to the accelerator and the car instantly scurried out like an arrow from the string——
The students sitting in the back row almost hit their head on the seat, and Ke Shaobin’s glasses were askew.
Xu Yishen reminded them. “Hold tight!”
The accelerator almost stepped on to the end, the speed of the car soared to 80 km/hours in the blink of an eye. Liu Zhaoqing sat in the back seat, and could not help but complain. “From city parkour, has it changed into Crazyracing Kartrider*?”
*Crazyracing KartRider is an online multiplayer racing game developed by Nexon Korea Corporation. It is part of the Crazy Arcade franchise. It earns revenue by selling virtual items within the in-game shop, including different types of vehicles and spraypaints.
Everyone: “……”
The situation now was really like a Crazyracing KartRider.
Kunlun East Road was not a straight line, there were many large curves. Xu Yishen’s driving skills were quite powerful, when crossing the curve, he did a 90 degrees drift. Sitting in the car, the students nervously grabbed the armrests next to the sheets, afraid that senior brother Xu’s steering wheel slightly offset so many degrees, directly crashed down the bridge to a team accident…
Jiang Pingce was tense, and he kept staring at the front of the car. In case senior brother Xu was unreliable, he could still correct it with the coordinate system.
Suddenly, an abandoned large truck appeared at the corner, and most of the two lane roads were blocked by more than half! Yue Xingwen, who saw the truck on the right, could not help but shout, “Be careful!”
Xu Yishen’s reaction was extremely fast, he swung the steering wheel and thrillingly rubbed the truck to fly over. The passage was too narrow, he avoided the truck on the right side of the car, but the left side rubbed on the piers next to the flyover, sparking with lighting all the way!
Everyone was terrified, and Liu Zhaoqing could not help but spit out, “A real-life version of Fast and Furious! Xu Yishen, you should be more reasonable, don’t race by bringing so many people, don’t play with life!”
Xu Yishen said, “Rest assured, I’ve driven sports cars up the mountain road.”
The road ahead had many abandoned vehicles of all sizes, and Xu Yishen slowed down with one foot on the brakes, driving between countless obstacles.
Yue Xingwen sat in the passenger seat, and his expression was unusually serious. He did not expect that senior brother Xu would be so bold, it was almost like driving a racing car. Fortunately, senior brother Xu’s car was fast enough, and those collapsed buildings were far behind them.
At this moment, Xiao Tu’s clear child voice rang in his ears, “The road ahead is collapsing, please pay attention to take a detour…” The robot’s radar monitoring was faster than their human eyes could see.
As soon as Xiao Tu’s voice fell, Xu Yishen slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in a thrilling way.
Everyone in the car was almost dizzy from the impact. Ke Shaobin’s glasses fell off directly, and he hurriedly searched to find his glasses in the car.
Yue Xingwen took a closer look—— the flyover at the junction of Kulun East Road and Kunlun West Road had been broken!
At this time, they were in high altitude, and Xiao Tu had told them to ‘detour’, but they were in a difficult situation, there was no way to detour. Yue Xingwen immediately gave the command. “Zhang Xiaonian, measure the distance!”
Zhang Xiaonian hurriedly turned on the infrared theodolite. A red laser shot ahead to the broken bridge, and Zhang Xiaonian quickly reported the result, “The collapsed section is 35 meters long.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Qin Lu, switch places.”
Qin Lu raised her right hand to summon the globe, the plate movement required her to specify two swap plates, she had to swap her teammates further away than 35 meters. The girl’s finger flew over the globe, and the seven people, along with the car they were in, seemed to be manipulated by a mysterious force, shifting instantaneously and appearing at the other end of the collapsed road.
The Geography Department was indeed a key help in passing this course.
Xu Yishen said, “Sit tight!”
The car started up again and sped on along Kunlun West Road.
Shortly after they crossed the collapsed section, Yue Xingwen looked back and saw that the entire Kunlun East Road flyover collapsed like a broken tofu. The pillars holding the flyover were so fragile that they turned into a pile of cement powder in a flash, the roadway they had just walked on began to break apart, the roadside piers rustled and fell, and a large number of cars parked under the bridge were directly crushed into a pile of scrap metal…
City Collapse, it was horrible!
Since the flyover had the risk to collapse, Xu Yishen did not dare to drive too fast, lest he encountered the collapse of the road section and did not have time to brake the car.
He was just thinking this when another collapse section appeared ahead of him. This time not a breaking road but a landslide on the side of the road, with a large number of falling rocks blocking the road. People could run slowly through the debris, but cars could not get through.
Without waiting for Yue Xingwen to remind him, Zhang Xiaonian consciously measured the distance with the infrared theodolite. “The congested road is 50 meters long.”
Qin Lu continued to use her plate movement, and the team teleported around the section.
Xiao Tu gave a navigation alert. “Turn left at the end of Kunlun West Road ahead and enter the Western Bypass Highway. After 2 kilometers, exit the highway at Exit 113 and enter the Airport Highway.”
Xu Yishen got on the Bypass Highway according to the navigation.
The bypass was a circular section and the car was turning so fast that the students in the car were a little dizzy. Yue Xingwen said, “Bear with the motion sickness, this section of the road has more curves!”
The 2 kilometers ring highway around the city made everyone’s eyes almost dizzy into a mosquito-repellent coil.
Finally, the circular section passed and a signpost prompt appeared ahead of them—— It was a 1 kilometer tunnel.
Xu Yishen stopped with one foot on the brake, “The entrance to the tunnel is blocked by falling rocks from the top of the mountain.”
Zhang Xiaonian said, “I can dig through! My excavator has a 10 minute cooldown and it can be used now.”
Jiang Pingce suddenly asked, “The tunnel is 1 kilometer long, if it’s blocked inside as well, how long will it take to dig through?”
Zhang Xiaonian thought for a moment and replied, “1 kilometers, it may take 5 minutes.”
Yue Xingwen looked back. Since the collapse of the flyover on Kunlun East Road, the road surface of Kunlun West Road, which was connected together, was constantly cracking. The crack grew larger and larger, as if it was a giant mouth opening up to swallow them completely.
The cracked pavement was getting closer and closer to them, still stretching forward, and would soon catch up with them.
Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce, and both of them exchanged a look.
Jiang Pingce said decisively, “Measure the height of the mountain.”
Zhang Xiaonian’s infrared theodolite hit the top of the mountain and he quickly reported the result, “The highest peak is 532 meters.”
Jiang Pingce stretched out his right hand, drew a coordinate system quickly, and warned in a low voice, “Hold on!”
Everyone realized what he was going to do. They hurriedly and nervously grabbed the armrests of the car——
The next moment, the entire car suddenly lifted off into the air!
Under the influence of the parabolic motion calculated by Jiang Pingce, the car flew high into the air as if it had wings, flying over the top of the mountain in the air before flying out of a distance of nearly 1 kilometer, and then fell down rapidly!
Ke Shaobin looked out of the window, the height of 500 meters ah! They would fall into a meat pie, more terrifying than the orienteering parachute jump! He closed his eyes nervously.
Until a moment later, the car landed firmly on the ground.
Teammates: “……”
It was even more thrilling than a roller coaster!
Jiang Pingce calculated the curve movement with great precision. After knowing the highest point of the parabola, and the length of the tunnel, he actually maneuvered the car and went over the entire mountain, landing firmly on the opposite side of the mountain?
Thinking about the ‘leap in the air’ just now, Zhang Xiaonian was scared and looked at Jiang Pingce, “Senior brother is powerful!”
What was even more awesome than using an excavator to dig through the tunnel was that Jiang Pingce had directly flown through the parabola in the air and crossed the entire mountain.
This was the top student’s method for the exam.
Xu Yishen had a slight fear of heights, not to mention that he was sitting in the driver’s seat. When the car went down, he had the illusion of falling headfirst through the air, and made him dizzy.
He rubbed his temples, quickly adjusted, and said, “There is the Airport Highway ahead, and there is only one last section of the road left.”
Yue Xingwen looked serious, “Everyone sit back and prepare to sprint to the finish line!”
Looks like this arc will be short. Good for them to get through it quickly!
I get seasick from one text…
Thank you very much for the translation 🤍🤍🤍
