"It's not so bad..." Wang Xiao mumbled to himself as the throttle of the bike continued to be open wide.
The sensation of speed coursed through him, especially on the empty, unregulated streets of Pudong.
The wind became a living thing, tearing at his clothes and tugging at his hair as he accelerated, the exhilaration intensifying with every passing second.
The world blurred around him, and for those precious moments, he felt truly free.
But in the blink of an eye, his elation turned to stark fear as he noticed an approaching car on the narrow single-lane street.
"!!"
His reflexes took over as he instinctively slammed on the brakes and swerved to the left, narrowly avoiding a disastrous collision with the car.
He let out a breath of relief, his heart pounding in his chest.
But before he could fully process what had just occurred, an unseen force crashed into him.
*Boom!*
