Chapter 63

Carl's team enters the Gasworks Screw Factory in a high-speed vehicle race through multiple rooms filled with hazards and competing teams. They navigate past metal pellet piles, use rocket acceleration to make a dangerous jump over molten vats, and enter a room filled with "Toddler Cocaine"—an illicit product manufactured by the knocker race.

Four vehicles launch toward the factory entrance, with Carl activating explosives to clear his windshield. The group enters a massive industrial room filled with piles of metal pellets (banger spheres) and small NPC knockers wearing yellow hard hats. Carl activates his Bubble Buddy shield and Heat Sink to survive the deadly temperatures. Multiple teams compete simultaneously—the Lady Dominators in their GTO, Team Free Love in a van, Prepotente on a massive Perriso mount with Jurgen, and others including a yellow AMC Pacer driven by team Yokai. The plan is for Prepotente's familiar Bianca to extract Corky from the Dominators' vehicle after defeating their shield. Teams navigate around the pellet piles and aim for different conveyor belt doors. The Lady Dominators' GTO and Prepotente's Perriso reach a conveyor belt leading to the second room. Carl activates the newly untested rocket acceleration to make a perilous jump over a gap with molten metal vats below, nearly overshooting before correcting with the bubble upgrade. Missiles from a tapir team strike the Dominators' car. Carl's team successfully lands on the ascending conveyor belt and enters a third room filled with mountains of white powder—revealed to be "Toddler Cocaine" (also called Daddy's Little Snow Drops), an illegal narcotic product manufactured by the knocker corporation and marketed to children with branded mascots and dolls. The narrative provides background on how knockers transitioned from drug manufacturing to legitimate business while becoming addicted to the profits themselves.
