The bus was driving on the road, but because the road was icy, the driver didn't dare drive too fast.
After driving for about three or four hours, the bus suddenly stopped.
"There must have been an accident up ahead. The traffic is really bad," the driver said helplessly. He didn't like driving in this kind of weather, but this was his job, so he could only drive slowly and carefully.
"Is anyone injured? Should we go and take a look? Can we help?" said a male classmate.
There were also twenty male students among the students who went to Lingcheng this time. They were responsible for transporting the wounded to the disaster area.
"There's no village or shop here, so there's definitely no doctor."
"Teacher, why don't we go down and take a look."
Hearing the students' words, the teacher in charge stood up and said, "Everyone! I know you have good intentions, but the current situation is not suitable for us to get off the bus. We will see what happens when we get to the scene of the accident."
Su Jinyue looked up and saw a landslide about a kilometer ahead, and a bus was buried under the rocks.
Looking inside the bus through the thick layer of rocks, Su Jinyue shook her head with a sad face. All the passengers in the bus had lost vital signs and had obviously been trapped for a long time.
"Su Jinyue, what's wrong with you?" Qian Moli, who was sitting next to Su Jinyue, asked with concern when she saw Su Jinyue's expression.
Su Jinyue shook her head. From such a distance, she couldn't possibly have seen the accident ahead. Human power was so insignificant in the face of the forces of nature. Landslides, floods, earthquakes—human power was simply no match for them.
The car followed the car in front and moved forward slowly. After more than ten minutes, everyone finally saw the accident happening in front.
"Oh my God! It's a landslide!"
"It looks like there's a car buried underneath."
"Under such circumstances, it is estimated that there are no survivors."
"Teacher, should we go down and help?"
The teacher in charge looked away, shaking his head with a look of sorrow. He wasn't standing by and watching them die, but he had to ensure his own safety first. Since he had brought them out, he had to bring them back safely, without missing a single one. There had been a landslide here, and there was a high chance it would happen again. He couldn't take that risk.
"But teacher, maybe there are still people alive down there."
"We will be doctors saving lives in the future. How can we stand by and watch such a situation?"
"Teacher, please let us go down and take a look."
"No! Landslides could happen here at any time. We can't take that risk." The teacher in charge shook his head in objection. He also wanted to get off the bus to help the people on it, but the situation didn't allow it.
"Students, just listen to your teacher. He's also concerned about your safety," the driver said. He drives his car year-round and has seen many accidents, including two landslides.
Although everyone was very unwilling, they had no choice but to accept it as the teacher would not let them get off the bus.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and everyone looked up and saw that a landslide had occurred again on the hillside in front of them, but fortunately no vehicles were crushed underneath this time.
"Oh my God! How horrible!"
"If we had driven any faster, we would have been buried underneath."
"This is the first time I've seen a landslide."
The driver breathed a sigh of relief and slowly drove forward. "Please let us pass safely and don't let another landslide happen again."
The car slowly bypassed the area where the landslide had occurred. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, another rumbling sound was heard.
Everyone's heart sank, and despair appeared in their eyes. Were they going to be buried here too?
Su Jinyue had been keeping an eye on the hillside. Seeing rocks slumping down, she knew another landslide was imminent. At the moment of the landslide, she quickly opened the car window and threw out several battle flags. Her movements were so fast that even Qian Moli, who was standing beside her, didn't notice.
When everyone was despairing, they saw that the rolling rocks did not hit their bus, but instead brushed past their car and fell to the side. Their car was not even hit by a small stone.
The car quickly drove out of the danger zone, and everyone patted their chests with lingering fear.
"At that moment I really thought we were finished."
"I, too, was in despair at the time."
"Thank goodness, God! Otherwise, I would have died here."
The driver heaved a sigh of relief. This time, he had truly brushed shoulders with death. At that moment, his hands had already left the steering wheel. He knew he couldn't escape this time.
But at that moment, he saw the steering wheel actually move on its own. This was truly bizarre and miraculous, as if they were destined to escape this disaster. Not a single one of the falling rocks hit his car. It was truly a miracle.
Su Jinyue withdrew her gaze. She had already set up a formation on the hillside, and there would be no more landslides for the time being. It was a pity that they hadn't arrived at the scene of the accident earlier, otherwise she might have had a chance to save the passengers on the bus.
The car moved forward slowly, and there was no longer the bustle of the trip. Everyone was in a very heavy mood. Having just experienced a life-or-death situation, they understood the fragility of life and cherished their own lives even more.
The bus drove into the territory of Lingcheng. What came into view was a desolate scene. As the bus moved forward, the scene became more devastated, with collapsed houses everywhere.
Doctors and nurses could be seen on the roadside carefully carrying frostbitten people to the tents for treatment. The road was slippery and anyone not careful could easily fall.
The bus stopped, and as the doors opened, a gust of cold air swept in, causing everyone to shiver. It was then they realized that compared to here, the temperature in Beijing was like spring. Here was the true cold of winter.
"Students, be careful when getting off the bus and don't fall." The teacher in charge of the team reminded everyone with a shiver, then walked off the bus first and stood beside the bus waiting for the students to get off.
The students got off the bus one by one in order. The biting cold made them feel as if all the blood in their bodies was frozen.
"It's so cold! I feel like I'm freezing to death."
"I used to think the capital was cold, but now I know what cold really means."
"I don't have enough clothes on. I think I'm going to freeze to death here."
