Chapter 8, Accidental Incidents

Is that true? Then please take the ring road around the city, Master.

Teacher Qiu hung up the phone, and the driver suddenly spoke up, "Teacher Qiu, given the traffic congestion in the city, why don't we take the ring road instead? The ring road should have less traffic, and although it adds an extra 30 kilometers, we can still arrive in about an hour"

First and foremost, regardless of the circumstances, we need to find a way to call for help. Everyone spread out and see if there is any mobile signal available.

No, I am very familiar with the ring road national highway; I could drive it with my eyes closed without any issues

It is now June, and ordinarily, a little rain would not be considered a significant matter. However, strangely, the raindrops are unusually cold, causing one to shiver upon contact.

Indeed, we agreed to depart at 7 o'clock, and now it is already 8 o'clock

After Bus No. 1 departed, the remaining elementary school students began to complain even more vigorously. Song Jia, too, was continuously kicking the ground, her face full of displeasure. However, due to Song Jia's relatively quiet personality, she endured for a long time without uttering a single complaint

Wasn't it said that 4G signals cover the entire city

Indeed, indeed... it is really dull

After Song Jia was carried out of the bus, a fashionable woman handed over the child in her arms

The more than ten parents who were originally searching for signals ran back, as adults can endure the rain, but children cannot, especially after being frightened and injured, they cannot be exposed to the rain

The problem is that now there is no difference between him and driving with his eyes closed. With visibility only two to three meters, isn't that equivalent to being blind

Especially those who previously clamored about wanting to go home are now jumping more joyfully than anyone else, ha, their words are at odds with their actions

Students, do not rush. I set off half an hour earlier than Bus No. 2 and have just arrived, so Bus No. 2 is likely still on its way. Children and parents from Bus No. 1, please follow me and line up in order.

At this moment, the outside of the window is shrouded in a thick fog, so dense that one cannot see their own hand in front of them. The visibility is not even five meters, and it is likely less than two meters.

Yes, what about vehicle number 2

Just a moment ago, it was shrouded in thick fog, but now it is bright and sunny. Moreover, this environment seems to be a canyon. If we are to speak of canyons in Su City, there is only the Xishan Canyon, but it does not seem to be like this. Could it be due to a different angle

The bus moved at a slow pace, swaying gently, and after approximately half an hour, no other vehicles were seen passing by along the way

The speed of the car suddenly began to slow down, and Wang Lan's thoughts were brought back.

"Master, have we taken a wrong turn?" Wang Lan suddenly realized something was amiss and asked loudly

Wuwuwu ... ... It hurts so much, Mom ... ...

Do not celebrate just yet, quickly call for help

Not everyone is alive; the driver is dead

"How did we survive falling from such a great height?" After coming out, several parents looked up at the cliff hidden in the clouds above and felt it was unbelievable

"Waiting idly is not a solution. How about this: if someone contributes a mobile phone, I can create a simple signal transmission device? There should be no signal exchange station here, which is why our phones have no signal," said a bespectacled man from Central and South China in a low voice.

Wang Lan took each child one by one and then helped the people inside the bus to get out.

The bus slowly started moving, and sure enough, as soon as we exited the school gate, we encountered a major traffic jam. After navigating a stretch of slow-moving traffic, the speed of the vehicle began to increase. The traffic within the city was nearly paralyzed, and it would be better to take a detour around the outskirts of Su City to reach the destination.

rumbling

A sudden scream startled everyone in the vehicle, causing their hearts to race, and in an instant, the bus began to tilt violently. Wang Lan hurriedly held Song Jia close to her, as a piercing scream filled the air, and the bus suddenly experienced weightlessness

A middle-aged man approached the driver's seat, moved the driver's corpse aside, and said, "Let me see if the car can still be driven"

Mom ... ... I want to go home ... ...

Forget it, forget it, I won't go. After waiting for so long, I might as well stay home and play games.

The vehicle can start, but the brakes are malfunctioning. It is likely that the brake pads are fractured, and there are no parts available for repair.

Although there is no war at present, alternate dimensions are frequently opening. Each opened alternate dimension must be explored by a pioneering team and military forces. Those that can be controlled as trial grounds will be maintained, while those that cannot will be closed.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple..." One of the middle-aged men, seemingly in his forties, looked solemnly at the bus.

Perhaps the mountains are an exception

The strength of a nation, in addition to a booming economy, also lies in the powerful force of its star warriors. An economy without star warriors is merely a castle in the air, while star warriors without an economy lead to reckless militarism. The Jade Nation harmoniously integrates both aspects, balancing strength and gentleness.

Master, this is not right. This slope has been ongoing for half an hour. Where is there a slope this steep?

Dear students, please do not be anxious. It is currently the morning rush hour, and as you are aware, the traffic conditions in Su City can lead to delays. We kindly ask for your patience. The organizing teacher continuously reassured the students to calm their emotions

Indeed, after a short while, a large bus arrived. The bus came to a stop, and a group of elementary school students erupted in cheers

Brother ... ... it hurts so much ... ...

The first train has arrived, but where is the second train?

It is not possible, this is Huanshan Road, we cannot stop. If a car from behind crashes into us, it could go off the cliff. The visibility is too low, but we will use the horn for signaling.

Wang Lan tilted his head to gaze out the window, perhaps this summer vacation would be his last moment of tranquility. With the awakening of the Star Warriors, he would have to seize every opportunity to strive for strength in the future. In the world of Star Warriors, failing to grow stronger means facing death

Good

If left unchecked, the otherworldly beasts will break out of the alternate dimension and hunt humans. Look at the cities in the Middle East that have been destroyed by these beasts, and see the people who have been displaced due to the weakness of their nations. How fortunate it is to be reborn in this strong and safe country

In an instant, the bus was filled with cries. Wang Lan unfastened her seatbelt, the bus tipped over onto its side, and Wang Lan punched through the glass, skillfully escaping from the bus.

Alright, children and parents, please fasten your seatbelts, we are setting off

Hello, Teacher Huang, we have also gotten on the bus. How is the road condition on your side?

A sudden whirlwind caused the bus to roll over repeatedly and fall down

Everyone come one by one, do not push...

Wang Lan furrowed her brows; although the ring road around the city had relatively few vehicles, it should still be bustling with a continuous flow of traffic.

Wuwuwu ... ... I will never participate in summer camp again ... ...

There is no other way, farewell to the Tianmu Lake.

Surprises always come so suddenly, the No. 1 bus had not been gone for long when the No. 2 bus unexpectedly arrived. Upon seeing the arrival of the No. 2 bus, the elementary school students once again erupted in enthusiastic cheers

However, their ability to enjoy such a safe environment is inseparable from the battles and struggles of the Star Warriors. Since the demon race was repelled seventy years ago, human civilization has experienced such a long period of peace. Yet, throughout history, the demon race has never allowed humanity much time for rest and recuperation.

Ge! Song Jia raised his head with difficulty to look at Wang Lan

Uncle, my head hurts so much, it's bleeding...

You see, the bus has been reinforced, and it is precisely because of this reinforcement that it did not crash fatally when rolling down from the mountaintop. However, the driver has died, and I cannot ascertain whether the bus was reinforced for passenger safety a long time ago or if it was a temporary reinforcement.

Damn, my phone has no signal, how about your phones

There is still no signal

A strong tremor caused the bus to roll over and come to a stop after falling.

Skilled in starting, shifting gears, and checking, he turned off the bus again after a short while

Boom

What should be done then

The most optimistic scenario is that when the people outside discover our disappearance, they will come to search and rescue us

Each invasion by the demon race has brought painful memories to humanity. From two hundred years ago to seventy years ago, over the course of one hundred thirty years, the human population plummeted from seven billion to two billion. If we consider the number of deaths, it would be an astronomical figure that humanity is reluctant to contemplate.

"Useless!" The deep voice of the middle-aged man commanding everyone first sounded, "My phone is equipped with the most advanced signal transmission device from Tianlan Star, connecting to satellite communications. It is a military-grade product, and all self-checks are normal, yet now, there is no signal."

From grades one to five, fifty students began to voice their complaints incessantly. The patience of children is limited; complaints started to arise after just ten minutes of delay

There are twenty-five children in a vehicle, and there are also twenty-five adults. Except for a few who are injured, most of the adults are fine. The children, faced with this situation, are at a loss and can only cry, while the adults have already begun to think of ways to cope.

The vehicle was filled with cheerful chatter and laughter, as the teacher busily engaged the children in games, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere throughout the experience

Suddenly, the sky darkened, leaving no opportunity for respite, and a light rain began to fall from the heavens

One triggered another, and soon the entire vehicle was filled with cries. Wang Lan furrowed her brows, feeling an unsettling anxiety within her. The strange mist, the bizarre plummeting canyon, and now the inexplicable hailstorm.

There are a total of 52 seats on the bus, with adults and children sitting in a row. Truly, the parents of this prestigious school exhibit commendable qualities. They line up in order and take their seats one by one. Aside from the noise and commotion from the elementary school students, the conversations among the adults are as gentle as a light breeze and fine rain

Everyone listen up, return to the bus, let's first straighten the bus, hurry! The middle-aged man suddenly began to issue orders, and his words naturally carried the authority of a leader, causing everyone to instinctively obey his command

A group of people once again took refuge inside the bus, while the raindrops pattered outside. Gradually, ice beads began to appear on the window. In the month of June, hail began to fall.

For ordinary people, this world is quite safe, and the country they live in is continuously growing stronger. Public security is stable, the economy is leaping forward, and everyone can have enough to eat and wear warmly

Come, give me your hand, and I will pull you up

Wang Lan retrieved a fallen dead tree from a short distance, and twenty people worked together to right the bus

After the bus came to a stop, Wang Lan quickly released Song Jia from her embrace, "Jiajia, how are you? Are you hurt?"

The weather today is indeed quite unusual, driver, can we still continue? Should we stop?

Sigh, don't even mention it, the traffic is completely at a standstill, I estimate we won't reach Tianmu Lake until noon. I don't know what's going on today, there is fog everywhere, the elevated roads are closed, so the entire city is stuck and unable to move.

Slope? Are we going uphill?" the driver suddenly exclaimed nervously, "Why do I feel like I'm on level ground? Ah! This is not good—

Why haven't you come yet... I've been waiting so long that the flowers have withered!

What is happening? How can there be such heavy fog...
