After Fairy Tale left, Max also began to gather everyone and prepare to pack up and leave here to go to another higher mountain. However, less than half an hour after everyone set out, a violent storm blew up and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
With a "crackling" sound, a white lightning flashed across the sky, shining brightly, indicating that the rainstorm was coming with great force.
It was pouring rain, blocking the view through the windshield and making driving impossible.
Nell, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked worriedly, "Do we still need to go forward?"
Max stared straight ahead, his mind focused on the difficult and muddy mountain road ahead. His tone was full of seriousness: "I guess this rain won't stop for a while. We need to find a flat place on the top of the mountain so that it will be convenient to set up the tent tonight. Otherwise, we will have to sleep in the car at night..."
Qiao was unhappy when he heard this. She held Jason's hand tightly and complained to Max, "I don't want to spend the whole night in the car. After all, I have important things to do!"
After saying that, she didn't forget to throw a coquettish glance at Jason, hinting that something important was going to happen in the evening. She hadn't yet had enough fun with what happened last night.
Jason had a frown on his face and was looking out the window absentmindedly, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing his expression, Qiao thought he was worried about the heavy rain outside the car, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, as long as the rain is not so heavy as to cause a landslide, we will just have to wait a few more hours for the rain to stop..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Andy pointing ahead and asking in surprise, "What is that?!!"
Everyone was attracted by her voice and looked forward. Through the pouring rain, they could faintly see the mountain top in front of them trembling. Through the downpour, holding their breath, they could also hear a low roar coming from the ground.
Andy asked, "Why did the stone roll down?"
Max was the first to react. He widened his eyes and shouted, "Oh no! It's a mudslide!"
When he was training in the wild before, he heard others say that if the rain was too heavy and washed away the land, the soil in the mountains would become loose and cause landslides.
"What?!"
"What?!"
"Quick! Turn around! Run!"
After Max came to his senses, he gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, trying to change direction and leave this dangerous place, but at this moment, the right front wheel of the car fell into the mud pit. Whether it was forward or backward, all four wheels were turning with a "buzzing" sound, but the car was still stuck in the pit and did not move.
Seeing this dangerous situation, everyone in the car started complaining, cursing, and banging on the windows, thinking they were going to die.
Seeing that the rocks and soil rolling down the mountain were about to slide in front of them, Max suddenly made up his mind, opened the car door, got out of the car alone, walked quickly to the back of the car, and started pushing the car.
After Max got out of the car, Nell reacted quickly. He nimbly moved from the passenger seat to the driver's seat, took over the steering wheel, and together with Max, one inside the car and the other outside, they started the car.
Just when the car finally moved and turned around successfully,
"careful--"
The car made a sharp turn and drove a distance, avoiding a football-sized rock that was rolling down. The people in the car were also hit against the wall of the car by the sharp turn. By the time they reacted, the rolling mud and rocks were only a few meters away from them.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, the car started successfully, and Max ran after their car. Nell was about to stop the car and let Max get in, but she heard Jason order: "Don't worry about him! Let's get out of here first!"
Nell explained: "We are a team! How can we leave our teammates here alone? Max just helped us..."
Jason roared, "Why do you care about him now?! If this continues, we'll all die!"
As he spoke, he stretched his body from the back to the front passenger seat and stretched out his hand to grab the steering wheel. Nell naturally refused, and the two of them remained in a stalemate. The steering wheel swayed left and right, and the whole car seemed to be drunk. It drove crookedly, and anyone who saw it would be scared to break out in a cold sweat.
Andy saw that the situation was not good and the mudslide was getting closer and closer to them. She also started to help Jason grab the steering wheel and said, "Nell! Stop fighting! Let's get out of here first and come back to find him when it's safe!"
Andy saw Qiao sitting in the car in a daze, as if she was scared, and glared at her, asking her to help.
Qiao finally woke up from his dream, his tone full of fear: "Let's, let's get out of here first, I'm so scared!"
Thanks to the help of others, Nell was completely suppressed. Jason took over the steering wheel, drove the car, and left without looking back.
Finally, having lost the initiative, Nell gave up struggling. He took one last look behind the car. Max was desperately chasing after them, waving at them, trying to get in. But when he looked behind him again, the mudslide had spread to within two meters of him...
