Chapter 162: How Is That Possible
“Qingsang? You’re awake?” Chen Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Qingsang had stirred. “Are you hurt?”
Su Qingsang gently shook her head. “Director Chen, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Director Chen glanced around his surroundings and sighed. “What now? We can’t move at all.”
“It’s fine that we can’t move. I’m afraid that the car might still plunge downwards.”
The vehicle was currently stuck in the tree, but what if the tree could no longer stand its weight?
Su Qingsang’s words made everybody lapse into silence. Everybody was thinking about this terrifying possibility.
“How about phones? Whoever still has their phone next to them, make some calls.”
Su Qingsang’s phone had fallen somewhere to the front. She had no way of retrieving it.
“It’s pointless. There’s no signal.”
Deputy Director Li’s phone was in his pocket. He took it out, looking dismayed. “I’ve tried a few times already.”
“The lines are probably down due to the storm and thunder.” Deputy Director Chen smiled ruefully. “Now we can only wait for someone to rescue us.”
Wait for someone?
Su Qingsang couldn’t 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 didn’t know how long it would take before they were found.
She tried to move her body. Her half-suspended condition was horribly uncomfortable.
It didn’t 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 didn’t exactly offer a solution to their predicament.
“We should try to crawl out of here,” somebody suggested.
“We could. But there’s a storm outside, and what if the car continues to dive downwards if our movements were too strong?”
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 there—
“What we need is a huge crane to secure the car, which would then allow us to crawl out one by one.”
It would be great to have a crane at this moment. Everybody had the same thought. But how was that possible?
“Those with phones, try your best at making calls. Get somebody to rescue us.”
Most of them had their phones by their side. Everybody took them out and tried to call, but nobody had any signal.
“Are we really going to die here today?” Huang Jie, the little nurse, had a fearful look on her face. She didn’t want to die.
“Don’t spout nonsense.” Su Qingsang had been looking at the windows, but now turned around sharply to give her a look. “We’ll be fine.”
“How can we be fine? We’re in so much danger.”
“Yeah.” Huang Jie’s voice had a teary edge to it. “I-I don’t want to die. I’m not married yet.”
Su Qingsang stopped short, thinking of Huo Jinyao. If he knew that something had happened to her, how would he react?
She didn’t 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 wasn’t sure if it was just an illusion.
To her surprise, she suddenly heard the sound of cars and the roar of some machine.
