âQingsang? Youâre awake?â Chen Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Qingsang had stirred. âAre you hurt?â
Su Qingsang gently shook her head. âDirector Chen, are you alright?â
âIâm fine.â Director Chen glanced around his surroundings and sighed. âWhat now? We canât move at all.â
âItâs fine that we canât move. Iâm afraid that the car might still plunge downwards.â
The vehicle was currently stuck in the tree, but what if the tree could no longer stand its weight?
Su Qingsangâs words made everybody lapse into silence. Everybody was thinking about this terrifying possibility.
âHow about phones? Whoever still has their phone next to them, make some calls.â
Su Qingsangâs phone had fallen somewhere to the front. She had no way of retrieving it.
âItâs pointless. Thereâs no signal.â
Deputy Director Liâs phone was in his pocket. He took it out, looking dismayed. âIâve tried a few times already.â
âThe lines are probably down due to the storm and thunder.â Deputy Director Chen smiled ruefully. âNow we can only wait for someone to rescue us.â
Wait for someone?
Su Qingsang couldnât feel optimistic at all when she observed her surroundings.
Aside from the fact that they were in the middle of nowhere, even if somebody happened to pass in the area, with such a massive landslide they didnât know how long it would take before they were found.
She tried to move her body. Her half-suspended condition was horribly uncomfortable.
It didnât feel good to be restrained by the seat belt. However, without it, she would fall towards the front seats.
She glanced at the windows. This van was of an enclosed type. Only the front and the rear windows could be opened.
Those who were unconscious slowly stirred one by one. Thankfully, they were all doctors.
As everybody had their seatbelts on, they had only sustained minor injuries. However, being suspended like this didnât exactly offer a solution to their predicament.
âWe should try to crawl out of here,â somebody suggested.
âWe could. But thereâs a storm outside, and what if the car continues to dive downwards if our movements were too strong?â
Were there any more trees at the foot of the hill that would get them stuck? Most importantly, there was such a massive torrent out thereâ
âWhat we need is a huge crane to secure the car, which would then allow us to crawl out one by one.â
It would be great to have a crane at this moment. Everybody had the same thought. But how was that possible?
âThose with phones, try your best at making calls. Get somebody to rescue us.â
Most of them had their phones by their side. Everybody took them out and tried to call, but nobody had any signal.
âAre we really going to die here today?â Huang Jie, the little nurse, had a fearful look on her face. She didnât want to die.
âDonât spout nonsense.â Su Qingsang had been looking at the windows, but now turned around sharply to give her a look. âWeâll be fine.â
âHow can we be fine? Weâre in so much danger.â
âYeah.â Huang Jieâs voice had a teary edge to it. âI-I donât want to die. Iâm not married yet.â
Su Qingsang stopped short, thinking of Huo Jinyao. If he knew that something had happened to her, how would he react?
She didnât know the answer to that and had no way of making a correct guess. However, at this moment, she really hoped that Huo Jinyao could be like a hero in the movies.
Rescuing her by suddenly descending from the skies. She knew that it was impossible.
It was afternoon when this accident happened. During the evening, Su Qingsang wasnât sure if it was just an illusion.
To her surprise, she suddenly heard the sound of cars and the roar of some machine.
