Shadowing Practice: How I Beat Runaways SOLO - Learn English Speaking with Video

I'm going to be giving y 'all a full guide on how to reach the very end in Runaways.

So for this tutorial, I'm not going to be using any class, and we're actually going to be using the basic free -to -play car, and I'm going to be showing y 'all how to reach the very end in Escape.

So once we're in the game, we're of course just going to follow the tutorial, and we're going to grab all of these items and sell them, which there's actually a way that we can get even more money at the start,

which I'll actually show y 'all before we sell these items.

So before we sell these items, we're going to run over here, and we're going to loot this entire gas station, just because we can sell these items for some extra money.

So grab whatever's in here, and we can also grab these items if we want to.

But for items like this, we actually have to drag to even carry them, so I'm only gonna sell one.

But let's toss it over here, and let's sell everything we got.

And boom, just like that, we only have 900.

And also, we can go behind this door, and there'll be a dumpster in the trash can.

And if we want even more money, we can just punch these as well.

And then whenever they break, we can jump aside for a whole bunch of money.

Which you can do the same for the other trash can as well, but to be honest, we don't really get that much, so I'm just gonna leave that there.

Anyway, at the gas station, we want to fuel up our car as much as possible, and we're basically gonna do the same at every stop, just because gas prices get more and more expensive the farther we go.

So a full tank at the beginning of the game is

gonna be much cheaper than a full tank at the end of the game.

Anyway, on our journey, we'll find a whole bunch of buildings such as these ones right here, but I'm not even gonna bother stopping at them, because I find that stopping at the towns are the best.

Because if you stop at these buildings, you're just wasting a small amount of gas, and we need every ounce of gas to reach the next town.

But if you want to, feel free to stop here, loot up, and then you can bring it with you.

But in my opinion, there's more than enough buildings at every town to loot and get quite a bit of money, meaning we don't really need to stop anywhere else.

Anyway, once we're here, we're going to park by the gas pump, and now we're going to loot all of these areas.

Also, you don't need to kill everyone.

Just keep sprinting and run around as quickly as possible, and don't even bother wasting your time killing like half these people.

So let's grab everything.

Let's also grab this guitar because things you have to drag usually sell for more.

Not all the time, but things such as like PCs

and boomboxes sell for quite a bit of money and maybe even this guitar that I'm carrying.

So sometimes it's actually worth it.

So let's see, and 1 .3 thousand.

Okay, yeah, that was very worth it.

Anyway, let's sell everything else we got.

And once we have enough money, we're actually going to buy the knuckles because those do a whole bunch of damage.

Also at the beginning, I wouldn't really recommend buying any guns.

We're gonna buy guns later on once we have more money.

But right now if we buy a pistol, we just have to spend a whole bunch of money on pistol ammo.

Which we don't really have all that money to spare right now.

And there we go after selling a few more items, we already have enough for the knuckles.

And look at how quickly we can wipe out these people now.

Also after you kill people, they'll sometimes drop stuff.

So you can always collect that as well.

And also if you're getting low on health, just look for any food.

Such as this hot dog right here, we can eat it, and it'll fuel us back to full health.

And that'll especially become helpful later in the game.

Anyway, I think we pretty much looted everything, so let's sell all the stuff we got.

And now let's head out.

Also, before you buy anything from the shop, make sure that you are gonna have enough money for gas.

Because if you don't have enough money for gas, then you're just gonna have to restart the game.

Because if you run far enough away from your car, police backup will come.

And yeah, you just do not want that happening.

Anyway, that's pretty much everything there.

So we're going to continue driving all the way down to the next town.

And once again, I'm not going to stop at any of these areas.

Especially right now.

Because all these people here are actually pretty powerful.

And we'll probably want some guns to defeat them rather than just my knuckles.

Anyway, there's the next town right up there.

And I think there's actually some pretty good buildings. And perfect.

There's a bank.

The banks are extremely good.

And there's also this building right here.

And oh, I actually think that might be a government building.

Okay, maybe they were not as lucky as I thought.

Anyway, let's just park our car right here.

And now let's start looting.

So I'm actually going to start off with this place right here.

Because there is a chance that we can find a gun in here, I believe.

And we can also find ammo.

But right now it has absolutely nothing.

What?

But anyway, we'll just run over to the police station.

Because most of the time, the police station does have a gun in it.

So that's just a free gun we can use.

So let's run over here and know it's a bat.

Alright, well we didn't get as lucky as I was hoping.

But we will grab this ammo.

Because we can always use it later on.

And also the police station has a whole bunch of meds

which we don't really need because we can always just heal up with food.

Which that's also why towns are so good, because it always has restaurants such as a KLC, so you can just run in, grab some food, and then run out,

and this food will heal you pretty much just as much as a medkit.

So you should never waste any of your money inside the pawn shop buying bandages or medkits, because food will heal you up just as much.

Also, not sure if you noticed, but there is a timer at the top of the screen for whenever the police backup comes, and that happens at every town.

So we want to be in and out of the town before police backup comes

because whenever that happens police just keep coming until you're eventually dead

so we do not want

that happening anyway what i'm doing right now is i'm just

trying to gather as much money as we can before we rob the bank

because the bank has a giant vault in it

which we could destroy just by punching it

but we can destroy it much faster

if you have any of these things specifically a mace we could also use c4

but i believe that is a one -time thing

so a mace is the best thing we can get it but that does cost $2 ,500.

And oh, perfect, we actually found a gas can.

These gas cans are actually extremely helpful, because it just pretty much expands your gas tank.

Because right now, we can only hold 50 liters, but we can also fuel up this canster as well, and it actually comes in extremely handy.

So just click Q to attach that to your car, and we'll fuel that up later on whenever we refill our car.

Anyway, for now, let's loot this entire building right here.

And oh, I actually just realized the chicken nugget bucket we have is six uses.

100

So it can actually heal us up to six times that is actually perfect.

101

Also an important thing to know is that you can just punch windows to break them.

102

So instead of going all the way out we can just easily jump out a window

103

and that'll save us from taking a bunch of damage by everyone at the bottom.

104

And another thing is some NPCs actually have bonus health such as the pawn shop owner.

105

The owner of the pawn shop has

106

so much more health than a regular NPC

107

so I would recommend just not even trying to fight him unless you have a pretty good gun.

108

So as we can see right now I'm just trying to avoid him as much as possible

109

because this is gonna take a while to kill him and it's just not worth it.

110

Anyway, we finally have enough money for the maze.

111

So let's go inside the bank and let's rob the entire thing.

112

We can always rob the bank without a maze, but it's just so much easier if you have one.

113

Anyway, we gotta move fast because police backup is coming in 30 seconds

114

and we do not really want to get caught up in this.

115

So let's pull our maze and let's start destroying the safe.

116

And yeah, wait, we actually gotta move real fast.

117

And also, I just remembered we didn't even fuel up our car yet, which is pretty much mandatory before we leave the town.

118

Because if we don't fuel it up, then we aren't even gonna make it to the next town.

119

So here, let's grab everything, and perfect.

120

Alright, let's pull out our chicken nugget bucket to heal.

121

And oh, this does not heal us that much.

122

Anyway, we gotta hurry, because all units are responding now.

123

So we gotta move as quickly as possible.

124

Let's grab this.

125

And I don't even know how I'm staying on top of them.

126

But it's actually kind of perfect, because since I'm on top of them, actually no one can hit me.

127

Anyway, yeah, that actually worked out super well.

128

Anyway, let's just move on to the next town we didn't

129

get to fuel up the extra gas against her like how we wanted to, but I'm just glad we made it out of there alive.

130

Anyway, we gotta just keep moving forward though, because we have a whole bunch of police chasing us, I believe.

131

But yeah, this chicken nugget bucket was not as good as I thought it was.

132

Like, I would probably rather just hold on to a hot dog than the chicken nugget bucket, because that just heals us way more.

133

We now made it to the next town, so let's stop right here, and we do have a few police behind us, so we'll deal with them whenever they come over here, but for now, let's just fuel up.

134

And yeah, here they are let's pull our knuckles

135

and quickly wipe them out and there we go we demolished all those people

136

so there we go our car is fully fueled up let's just move this up a bit more

137

and now let's fill up our extra gas cancer

138

and this is pretty much just emergency gas anyway now

139

that we're here let's also rub all of these places

140

which actually i don't even think we need to

141

because i was gonna say we should rob them

142

because we're gonna need a lot of money for whenever we buy weapons later on

143

but the farther down we go the more better items there

144

are like right now we'll find like a whole bunch of junk.

145

But later on, whenever we get to like Texas, all the buildings are gonna have diamonds and all sorts of valuable things.

146

So the farther we go, the more money we're gonna get.

147

And here we go, we made it to the next town and it is pretty packed.

148

There's a bank right there and a mansion.

149

So we're about to get a whole bunch of money.

150

We now have quite a bit of money and on top that I already refilled my car.

151

But we are pretty low on health and oh my gosh, I did not know coffee gives you a minute speed boost.

152

Wait, that's actually crazy because we're running

153

so fast now like look at this we're zooming oh my gosh

154

but these record player things are crazy good i already sold one

155

that i got from that mansion and it sold for three thousand like let's see

156

if this one is the same and yeah look at

157

that three thousand dollars that is insane so make sure you sell those

158

and just like that we already have a thousand dollars

159

and i didn't even rob like half these places yet here let's drink another coffee though

160

and let's also grab this turret i'm not sure

161

if they sell for anything good but they are pretty useful

162

because we can place them down

163

and they'll kill anyone in sight anyway how much is gonna sell for

164

and 1 .2 thousand okay i think it's better to just keep this

165

and attach it to our car because we can always use

166

that later on anyway we looted pretty much everything

167

so let's just hop in before even more police are coming

168

and let's get out of here we're now a few towns over

169

and this place is packed there's two banks an apartment

170

and whatever this place is i have no idea what this is i'm actually gonna check it out

171

because it looks like it has a chance

172

that there could be something good and i mean there's emeralds And yeah, never mind.

173

This place was actually pretty bad.

174

But luckily, there is two banks waiting for us.

175

And alright, we gotta get out of here.

176

We didn't even have a chance to rob all the places.

177

But that's also one of the downsides of getting farther.

178

The farther you go, the less time you have to loot.

179

So it does actually get pretty difficult sometimes.

180

Anyway, hopefully we'll find a bounty or something soon, because we're gonna need quite a bit more money.

181

Because before we get to the end, I do want to get some armor.

182

But more importantly, we're gonna need some sort of gun.

183

It doesn't need to be anything too crazy.

184

But if we can afford it, I want to try to get the heavy sniper We now made it to the next town

185

and we just completely ran out of gas

186

And this is actually where this gas cancer can come pretty handy

187

So we're gonna fill it up just enough to actually reach the next gas station right up here

188

and now we're getting quickly fuel up.

189

Whenever we start getting pretty far like how we are right

190

now I would recommend fueling up before you do anything else

191

just in case you need to leave as quickly as possible

192

and oh my gosh these people came out

193

and just absolutely unloaded on me and you know what we just got hopping

194

and started driving away because there are way too many.

195

I don't even know how I got that many people chasing me like that was actually just insane.

196

Also now is a pretty good time to mention that I would highly recommend getting a better car.

197

Because this car right here is super slow.

198

But if you get like a better car in the lobby that goes faster, you can actually outrun the police.

199

Because that's the main problem I'm having right now.

200

Like look, all the police can easily just chase behind me because I'm not going fast enough to outrun them.

201

But if you get a different car that goes faster, you can actually outrun them.

202

So then they'll just stop chasing you.

203

Also back at the previous place, I wasn't able to fully fill up.

204

I filled up most of the way, but not 100%.

205

But it should be okay because we still have like 15 liters in our gas canister

206

but we do need to make the most of this next stop though

207

because i believe this next stop is gonna be the very last one before we actually reach mexico

208

and all right we're completely out of gas

209

and as we see since we're out we have two minutes before backup arrives

210

but right now we just got these people right here to deal with

211

so let's try to get the person with the gun first

212

and also we're just kind of spinning in circles because

213

that kind of makes them miss half the time and

214

when more police are coming let's quickly get in and oh my gosh, they're already here.

215

Anyway, I forgot, I need to fuel up.

216

All right, well, let's take out these people again, and then we gotta use our gas generator to fuel up as quickly as possible.

217

And there we go.

218

Hopefully, we have no more cops chasing us for quite a while, because I really need time to loot this town.

219

Because if I don't have time to loot this town, then we're not gonna get good armor, and we're not gonna be able to get good weapons.

220

So we need all the time we can take.

221

Also, we're gonna loot the regular buildings as well, because this far in the game, the regular buildings start having diamonds in them.

222

But anyway, we have less than three minutes.

223

That is actually terrible.

224

Anyway, there we go.

225

We've fully filled up right there.

226

So let's try to position it so we can actually fill up our extra gas canister.

227

And there we go.

228

That should be enough.

229

And we need to move as quickly as possible.

230

Like, we're playing no games right now.

231

Which, you know what?

232

We actually need to go in here.

233

And we need to grab some food to use later.

234

Because if you don't get the best armor, we're actually gonna need some food to heal up with.

235

And okay, why are we not finding a bunch of diamonds?

236

Also, since we already fully filled up our car, all the money we get now would go straight towards armor and weapons.

237

But once again, we just need to go as quickly as possible.

238

So there we go.

239

Let's get ourselves some heavy armor because that's probably gonna be the most important part

240

and look at that That like triples our health.

241

But anyway, we do kind of need a weapon though

242

Because these knuckles are not gonna do it later on and okay So we have three thousand dollars for a weapon.

243

We actually might be cooked We don't need anything too crazy.

244

Let's actually grab this and it looks like it uses light ammo

245

Which also since we're not gonna be using the knuckles anymore Let's just sell them

246

and same with the mace because

247

that would get us just a little bit more money

248

and we'll use all of this to buy a big thing of light ammo

249

and now we gotta get out here as quickly as possible.

250

Also, let's try to fill our inventory with as much food as we can get now

251

because now we just need a whole bunch of heals and oh my gosh, this is actually perfect.

252

What?

253

Wait, why is this place actually packed with meds?

254

Okay, anyway, the last thing to do is actually get to the end now and we do have a weapon, but we don't need a bunch of weapons.

255

Also, if you've ever seen the end before, you may be thinking we need a whole bunch of weapons

256

because whenever we get to the end it's non -stop police officers spawning for two minutes straight

257

and we have to survive to be able to actually escape

258

but i'm actually gonna show y 'all how to avoid all police officers

259

and take almost zero damage

260

and also we like don't really need to kill any i just got a weapon just in case

261

but if everything goes good we actually shouldn't even need to kill anyone

262

but we just need to hope that it does go good

263

and wait how many police cars are chasing us

264

if you kind of swerve we can see them

265

and there's one all the way back there which whips i accidentally hopped out But as I was going to say, right now would be a perfect time to fuel up.

266

Do you think we need a bit more gas?

267

And okay, that's all we're going to get.

268

Let's hop in and let's quickly start driving.

269

We got to make sure our car doesn't get destroyed before we get to the end.

270

Also, you are able to repair your car using toolboxes, which can be pretty helpful.

271

But as long as you drive fine, you shouldn't really need to repair your car.

272

Anyway, there it is right there.

273

We should have barely enough gas to actually reach it.

274

And over here at the very end, to actually escape, we have to open this door, which we have to click a button and after we click

275

that button we have to wait two minutes for it to actually open

276

so what we're gonna do is we're gonna drive straight to it

277

so there's gonna be a whole bunch of powerful people here like these guys

278

but just ignore them drive straight to the button

279

and okay we gotta quickly hop out and now we're gonna click it

280

and now we're gonna run away

281

and we're gonna go to this building over here there might be some people in it

282

which is actually why we need some weapons like this guy

283

but what we want to do is we want to jump on top of here

284

because if we're on top of this metal detector people actually won't really come in here to kill us

285

but do be careful because there might be one every now and then, such as this guy.

286

Which, let's actually obliterate him just in case.

287

Same with this guy, but there we go.

288

So, as we can see at the top, all units are.. spawning.

289

And I'm not sure if y 'all can hear it, but there's probably like 20 police cars out there right now.

290

But since we're on top of this metal detector, like no one actually comes in here.

291

And we're just staying on top of this for two minutes until the door opens.

292

And also you will get a notification at the top whenever the door does open.

293

And then we're going to run out there as quickly as possible.

294

Also, I don't really know why this works, but it just does.

295

And for some reason, like no one comes in here.

296

You will get like a melee person that comes in here every now then

297

but since you're on top of the metal detector they actually can't hit you

298

and instead they'll just chill underneath but

299

if anyone comes in here with a gun i would recommend lighting them up

300

but it's actually pretty rare that someone does come in here

301

and actually we gotta watch out for this guy he's slowly inching his way in here

302

and you know what we have a bunch of ammo

303

so let's just light them up just for safety

304

and boom there we go and there we go the mexico barriers open

305

and it closes in 30 seconds so let's just run out

306

and you want to run as quickly as possible you won't take as much damage as you think you will, but look at all those police officers and we don't have to kill a single one.

307

And just like that, we escaped.

308

Also for all the police officers, if you kill them, more are just going to spawn.

309

So there's no reason to stay out there and actually wipe them out.

310

And just like that, we escaped completely free to play.

311

We used no class and we used the free to play car and we made it all the way to Mexico.

312

Also, as I mentioned in the beginning, that's like the hardest it can be.

313

After you played a few games and you have some credits, I would recommend getting literally any class, because any class is better than nothing.

314

The best one being the ex -military, which I made a whole video about, and also with the class, I would recommend getting a good car, because this is literally the worst car you can use.

315

If you get something such as this one right here, you can easily outrun police, and to be honest, probably like half of these cars can outrun the police, because this one has a speed of 2,

316

and literally every other car is faster than that one.

317

Anyway, that's going to be all for this video though.

318

If this video helped you out, please make sure to smash that subscribe button and I will see y 'all in the next video.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
