Chapter 46 The Amusement Park (You want to save people, and I want to help you)
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Wei asked when he saw Yun Xin staring blankly at her phone screen without scrolling down.
“I’m thinking about work,” Yunxin said. “My previous boss closed the shop and doesn’t plan to do business anymore. I want to resubmit my resume and find another job.”
"Then go ahead and find someone." Xiao Wei offered her unconditional support. "Xinxin can do whatever she wants."
Yun Xin thought to herself, she wondered if any company would hire her, and whether the people she met later would be willing to listen to her advice. But... whatever! She'd save whoever she could.
Just as I made up my mind, a loud bang came from ahead, as if something had violently collided.
"What's wrong?"
“There was a car accident,” Xiao Wei replied quickly.
During the exchange of questions and answers, another impact sound was heard.
A pickup truck had overturned, a sedan was badly damaged, and the door of a bus was smashed to pieces.
The bus was filled with children around thirteen or fourteen years old, who were staring out the window with terrified expressions.
Yunxin looked closely and saw that many of the children had death countdowns on their bodies.
"Expected to die in 4 minutes and 49 seconds."
Oh no!
Without time to think, Yunxin hurriedly said, "I'm going to rescue people. You stay in the car."
After saying that, he got off the bus and ran towards the coach.
"Xin Xin—" Xiao Wei only had time to call out her name once before Yun Xin had already run far away.
She moved with the agility of a cheetah, moving incredibly fast, and as she ran, she pulled a black leather glove from her pocket and put it on.
About ten seconds later, the bus suddenly burst into flames.
It turns out that the bus's fuel tank was punctured when it was hit. Just over ten minutes earlier, the bus had filled up with fuel at the gas station.
"Calm down! Don't panic!" The driver tried to put out the fire with a small fire extinguisher.
The small fire extinguishers were quickly used up, but the fire showed no signs of abating.
The bus only has one exit at the front, and due to the impact, it cannot be opened at this moment.
Left with no other option, the driver had to try to escape through the emergency exit.
However, someone placed a cooler in the passageway, completely blocking the way.
The driver then tried to smash the window so the children could escape.
But the glass is of such high quality!
No matter how hard the driver tried, he couldn't break it.
At the same time, thick smoke began to fill the car. The children coughed from the smoke, and some even fainted.
Just then, the emergency exit was forcibly opened from the outside, and the obstructing cooler was also removed.
“Line up and come out through the emergency exit, I’ll pull you out.”
The children who were still conscious immediately did as instructed, leaning out one after another.
Strangely enough, the rescuer was a young woman who didn't look very old or particularly strong, yet she was able to easily pull the children out of the bus.
"Next! Hurry up!"
She rescued more than a dozen people in a row, but she showed no signs of fatigue. Instead, she urged the children to hurry up.
The driver didn't bother to investigate further and arranged for the children to escape one by one.
Then he and several tall boys carried the unconscious student on their backs.
With a loud "bang," the windowpanes were smashed from the outside.
Another person shouted, "You can get out of the car window too. Hand the person over, I'll catch them."
Upon hearing this, the driver and several tall boys immediately handed the unconscious student over.
Rescuing people from both sides simultaneously greatly improves efficiency.
About three or four minutes later, all 67 people, including the driver and the children, had been rescued.
Everyone began to move away from the bus.
Just as they were out of danger, the bus was engulfed in flames.
The survivors stared in disbelief at the scene, a chill running down their spines.
"If someone hadn't come to our rescue, we might have perished in the fire... By the way, where are they?" The driver was about to express his gratitude when he was surprised to find that the people who had saved them had already left.
In the distance, police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks are on their way.
That was shouted by a passerby who couldn't help.
Back in the car, the two fled the scene as if they had just committed a crime.
Yun Xin complained, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the car? Why did you suddenly run over there?"
Xiao Wei said, "You want to save people, and I want to help you."
"Don't do that again next time." Yun Xin stated earnestly, "I will go there because I know when danger is, and I am confident that I can protect myself and leave before danger occurs."
"Yes." Xiao Wei smiled happily.
Yunxin didn't know if he had really listened to her.
Stop dwelling on it and change the subject, "After rescuing people, did you see the transparent panel?"
"I saw it," Xiao Wei replied.
"That's good." Yunxin sighed, feeling that the trip was worthwhile. Although the process was a bit bumpy, the goal was ultimately achieved.
Xiao Weiyi glanced at the control panel while driving.
Only the transparent panel is visible—
Welcome to the Evolution Game.
[Congratulations to the player who successfully survived instance number 133497 – “Bus Fire Accident”.]
[Because you saved eighteen humans, your performance rating is "A".]
[Note: Players will only learn of the existence of the Evolution Game after receiving an "A" grade (or higher) in the level completion evaluation once or more.]
[You learned of the "Misfortune" debuff in advance through illegitimate means. The "Misfortune" debuff will be automatically removed upon obtaining one or more "A" level (or higher) grades.]
You have received an "A" rating, and the "Misfortune Strikes" debuff has been removed.
Your current attributes are: Strength: 7.8, Agility: 7.3, Constitution: 8.5, Spirit: 6.4.
[Only by achieving an S-rank or higher rating after a single attribute exceeding 8 and the sum of all four attributes reaching 30 or higher can one continue to receive attribute bonuses.]
The subsequent investigation report has been released.
The report indicates that the pickup truck driver was driving under the influence of alcohol and initially crashed straight into the bus.
The bus driver didn't have time to react, and the fuel tank, which had just been filled with more than 200 liters of gasoline, was punctured.
After hitting the bus, the pickup truck overturned at a 90-degree angle and then collided with another car.
The car was hit, changed its original direction of travel, and crashed into the bus again.
So this was actually a serious three-car pileup.
Of course, everyone else is innocent; the one who should be most condemned is the drunk driver of the pickup truck.
However, after the pickup truck overturned at a 90-degree angle and collided with other vehicles multiple times, the drunk driver fell asleep inside. He was only pulled out of the vehicle by paramedics who arrived to rescue the survivors.
Faced with police charges, the drunk driver appeared completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened. He himself had only sustained minor injuries, and his apparent sleep in the car was primarily due to intoxication.
Ultimately, the pickup truck driver faced multiple charges and was destined for prison to reflect on his mistakes.
Following the accident, people also raised serious questions about the safety of the bus.
For example, why is there a cooler blocking the way at the emergency exit?
Why is window glass not easily broken?
Why is there only one door?
The car company explained that the radiators were placed in the emergency exits because they are not usually used. This was their mistake, and they promised not to repeat it.
Netizens, "..."
Can you guess why it's called "Emergency Exit"?
It's meant to be kept for escape in a pinch! It's perfectly normal not to need it normally!
In short, the car company has acknowledged its mistake and promised to learn from it to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
As for the glass, it was originally intended for impact protection, but who would have thought that it would hinder children from escaping during a fire?
All I can say is that everything was unexpected.
Any shortcomings will be improved in the future.
Yunxin couldn't remember how many times she had sent out resumes to the masses.
Think about it carefully, and you might spend just as much time submitting resumes as you do working.
The most astounding thing is that the bosses either die, go to jail, or go bankrupt; very few survive. Even Bai Wei, who seemed to have successfully protected herself, died a few months later.
Sometimes, Yunxin even felt a sense of fatalism in herself, a feeling that "the long arm of the law will eventually catch up with you, and there is no escaping it"...
After submitting her resume, Yunxin turned to look at a real estate website and asked Xiao Wei, "What kind of house do you like?"
"Anything is fine with me." Xiao Wei leaned closer. "Aren't you submitting resumes and looking for a job?"
"I've submitted all my applications. I'll wait for their replies. If no one sends me an interview invitation, I'll continue sending out applications." Yunxin glanced around the room and commented objectively, "This room is fine for one person, but a bit small for two. I'd like to move to another room; I'm open to buying or renting."
“I think the size is just right,” Xiao Wei said as he sat down next to Yun Xin.
At this moment, Yunxin was nestled in a single sofa with her laptop on her lap.
Xiao Wei sat on the floor, her head close to Yun Xin's right knee.
It looks just like a big dog that accompanies its owner to work.
Yun Xin chuckled, "Stop fooling around, answer seriously."
So Xiao Wei thought about it very seriously, and then told her, "I want a bedroom where we can sleep together, a living room where we can work together, and a dining table where we can eat together."
The answer lacked any skill; it was all driven by personal bias.
"I shouldn't have asked you." Yun Xin looked away and returned her gaze to the computer screen.
Xiao Wei countered, "Then what kind of girl does Xin Xin like?"
Yun Xin casually replied, "It's close to the company, already renovated, and easy to move into."
After all, she changes companies frequently, and if she doesn't change her address, it will be inconvenient for her to get to work.
“Then let’s find someone like that again.” Xiao Wei said without hesitation, “Just remember to pack me up and take me with you when you move.”
Yun Xin was taken aback, lowered her eyes, and her gaze met Xiao Wei's.
“Whatever Xinxin wants to do, I will help you.” Xiao Wei’s voice was soft, but her expression was serious. “I will definitely not hold you back, so you don’t need to worry about me.”
Yun Xin's lips couldn't help but curl upwards. "I know. That's why I like you the most in this world."
Without Xiao Wei, after her grandmother's death, she would probably have lost her sense of belonging to this world. If she were to encounter an accident someday, she might be the first to give up.
Some say that in the adult world, who isn't simultaneously wanting to die and desperately struggling to survive?
Unfortunately, she is not.
If she didn't want to live, she wouldn't struggle.
