"Dear audience friends, we can see that 100 drivers are now competing fiercely for advantageous positions. Dominic, who was ranked second, unfortunately gave up that spot because he had to dodge missiles from behind. Who will stand out?" Anna explained excitedly.
At the Hell's Kitchen scene, the crowd showed no fear at the sight of bazookas and missiles.
In this wild battleground, carrying only a pistol would earn you nothing but contempt.
They had long grown accustomed to this thrilling and deadly environment, familiar with all kinds of high-stakes action on the track.
Here, the weapons used were at least Uzis or submachine guns. Spectators stood atop residential buildings, cheering wildly at the cars on the track, as if witnessing a real war.
To them, bullets and rocket launchers were just part of the spectacle. They didn't worry about the danger—if anything, it heightened the excitement.
Some generous Hell's Kitchen residents even took out their own guns and fired into the sky to show support. They wished they could join the intense racing competition themselves.
For those watching on TV, this race was an unprecedented visual feast. It was their first time seeing rocket launchers and firearms integrated into a car race, which shocked and thrilled them.
"This... is this a racing competition or an all-out killing match?" one viewer asked in surprise.
"It turns out this isn't about driving skills at all. It's a survival game! Whoever makes it to the end wins," another viewer sighed.
"Do you think anyone can finish this race?" someone else asked skeptically.
"Hell's Kitchen, huh? So violent and exciting! I love it!" more viewers expressed their fascination with the game's wild energy.
Just as the audience expressed their feelings, the host Anna suddenly shouted, "Look! One of the racers' cars is flying!"
Suddenly, two wing-like extensions unfolded from the car driven by Happy of Stark Industries and his co-pilot Dr. Banner, and the entire vehicle actually took to the air!
Like a soaring eagle, it flew directly over the competitors in front and surged toward the sky.
The ground racers naturally reacted by firing at the airborne car, but the bullets had no effect.
Happy expertly maneuvered the flying car and soon moved into second place, nearly catching up to Pietro and others in the lead pack.
Tony watched the live footage, his eyes shining with pride. He boasted to Alex Ray, "See? My tech is the best! How could those bullets penetrate my car? I specially installed bulletproof materials. Alex, just watch, I'm going to take first place soon!"
Alex Ray glanced calmly at Tony and replied, "Your car is bulletproof, but it doesn't seem frostproof."
"What?" Tony was stunned and immediately looked at the big screen.
"Freeze! Don't move!"
Happy's car was suddenly enveloped by a chilling aura and then encased in ice, courtesy of Iceman's powers.
The car, losing power, wobbled mid-air before crashing down onto the street.
"Damn it! This kind of superpower is just cheating!" Tony frowned, shouting angrily. He never expected his car to be frozen by Iceman's ability.
Alex watched Tony's frustration and explained with a smirk, "This is within the game's rules. Iceman can only use this ability once per race and only against one vehicle.
Otherwise, he'd just freeze the entire course, and there'd be no race left. Who made your Happy so flashy?"
Tony could only sigh helplessly. He silently regretted not making the car frostproof earlier, which would have spared him from this setback.
The race had now passed its halfway point, and the atmosphere on the track grew increasingly tense and fierce.
The originally crowded convoy had dwindled to fewer than fifty vehicles, with the others either cleverly destroyed by rival racers or losing control on high-speed curves and crashing.
Dominic drove his black Mustang steadily, a sleek streak of black lightning weaving through the chaos.
At this moment, he occupied a critical position between the second and first echelons. Though disrupted earlier by a rocket explosion that threw him off balance, he was far from ordinary.
With outstanding driving skills and a calm mindset, he quickly regained control and steadied his pace.
Other racers launched indiscriminate attacks in their desperate fight for victory. Bullets flew and flames splattered across the track.
Fortunately, Dominic and Roman's vehicle, positioned toward the back, had not yet become the main target, allowing them to catch their breath and reconsider strategy.
"Dom, your driving is incredible! We'll win this! Those Hell's Kitchen punks are trash!" Roman excitedly stretched his hand out the window, making a middle finger gesture at the surrounding vehicles. He looked so proud, seemingly forgetting the deadly seriousness of the race.
But Dominic, focused on driving, didn't notice Roman's antics. His eyes stayed fixed on the road and the cars around him.
He recognized that some opponents were extremely skilled and he had to dodge bullets constantly, which was stressful.
Roman's provocations soon drew the attention of other racers.
They accelerated toward Dominic and Roman's car, preparing to attack.
Soon, Dominic heard curses from behind: "Damn Nico! How dare he challenge us here in Hell's Kitchen! This is our turf! Brothers, let's crush him! We can lose, but he must die! Attack!"
With these angry shouts came even more firepower raining down on them.
Bullets hammered the car with a harsh metallic clang.
Dominic's heart tightened. He knew the situation was dire and he had to act quickly.
He spun toward Roman, shouting, "What the hell did you do?!"
Roman shrank back in horror, realizing he'd caused a big mess. "I just made a friendly gesture! Didn't expect them to be so worked up! Damn it, Dom, kill them!"
Before Roman could finish, a bullet whizzed past and shattered the rearview mirror.
Cold sweat broke out on Roman's forehead.
"What do we do, boss?!"
