Without any hesitation, Song Shiting rushed into the cockpit. Inside, the pilot was lying face down, seemingly fast asleep.
My other hand was on the joystick, but there was no response at all.
The train on the other side is heading this way.
The train they were on had already entered railway junction number one...
At this point, there was no way to avoid it.
Without hesitation, Song Shiting rushed over and pulled the brake lever to apply the emergency brakes, while also sounding the horn.
But it was too late.
His pupils contracted slightly.
The train, due to its immense inertia, still hurtled towards the opposite train.
"Bang...bang..."
The enormous impact knocked the opposite train away, and several carriages in the middle were knocked off the tracks.
The railway tracks below were even twisted into a pretzel shape.
...
Ruan Qingling had just finished relieving herself in the restroom and pulled up her pants when she felt the train shaking violently. Before she could even open the doors, she heard a loud crashing sound and felt herself lose weight.
The train carriage was twisting and turning violently.
In the confined space, as she was being turned over, she instinctively protected her head. When she felt the spinning stop and took her hands down, she found them covered in blood.
My hand has been scratched.
She covered it with her hand.
Then I took out a handkerchief and wrapped it up simply.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the bathroom door open.
There was a lot of noise outside.
Someone is shouting that something has happened.
Someone is calling out the name of a loved one.
Although she didn't know what had happened, Ruan Qingling had a bad feeling.
Where is Song Shiting?
Her first thought was Song Shiting.
Will he come to save me?
The bathroom door was locked and jammed.
She tried to open the door no matter how hard she tried, and kept banging on it, saying, "Is anyone home? Please open the door for me."
Outside, there was a noisy commotion of people running; it seemed no one knew there was someone else here.
Ruan Qingling called for a long time before someone finally noticed her inside.
The only problem is that the people outside don't have the tools.
I can't open the bathroom door either.
The outside was pitch black, concealing the horrific scene of carnage...
Large patches of blood could be seen even in the faintest light.
Staff at the nearby platform are trying to contact their superiors for assistance.
Nearby villagers also rushed to help with the rescue.
Ruan Qingling was rescued after being trapped for two hours.
Paramedics offered to bandage her wounds, but after getting her own medication, she began searching for Song Shiting.
However, Song Shiting was nowhere to be seen.
As dawn broke, she looked ahead.
A scene of utter devastation...
The carriage she was in overturned and fell to the ground.
Ahead, there were train fragments and wreckage everywhere.
He was screaming in agony on the side, clinging to life.
Some of them had already passed away.
Ruan Qingling didn't know how she could be so lucky to encounter such a big thing while just taking a train.
As soon as it was light, the first batch of BDs arrived at the scene and cordoned it off.
While searching for Song Shiting, Ruan Qingling also helped treat the injured people; her own hands were simply bandaged.
But as of now, Song Shiting's whereabouts are still unknown.
She subconsciously felt that Song Shiting might be fully involved in the rescue, so she helped the injured people around her while searching forward.
The first rescue team that arrived was led by Zhou Xiangdong. He was directing the work of sealing off the scene when he suddenly saw Ruan Qingling. He was stunned for a moment, and then realized something: "Where is Lao Song?"
Ruan Qingling unexpectedly ran into Zhou Xiangdong here, but she didn't have time to ask him any more questions. She said, "I parted ways with him when I went to the restroom in the middle of the night. I was trapped in the restroom for more than two hours, and I haven't seen him since I came out. I don't know if he went to the front!"
Zhou Xiangdong frowned and said, "I just came from the front and didn't see him!"
Ruan Qingling's heart suddenly clenched.
At that moment, a man was lifted out of the deformed driver's cab, his head and face covered in blood. Ruan Qingling rushed over, and Zhou Xiangdong followed.
Although his face was covered in blood, upon closer inspection, it wasn't Song Shiting.
Survivors and the injured were taken to nearby large hospitals, while the bodies that were found were simply left aside to wait for vehicles to arrive and take them to funeral homes and charitable institutions in nearby counties, where they awaited identification by their families.
No matter how hard Ruan Qingling searched, she couldn't find Song Shiting.
He couldn't possibly not come out about something this big.
Unless something unexpected happens to him.
Ruan Qingling's heart began to panic.
Zhou Xiangdong also had a vague sense of unease.
Just as Zhou Xiangdong was having people search, someone shouted from six meters away: "Here...there's another person trapped here."
Ruan Qingling and Zhou Xiangdong immediately ran over.
It was already seven in the morning, and the light was good enough to see everything clearly.
Ruan Qingling's eyes were stung by the wristwatch.
Song Shiting's watch!
Because Song Shiting had once said he would give her the watch, but she thought it was too big.
After all, men's and women's hands are different; women's hands are more slender.
Especially since her hands were fair and slender, wearing Song Shiting's watch was completely out of place, so she didn't want it.
Ruan Qingling shouted, "Song Shiting, Song Shiting is downstairs, hurry up and move this door panel away."
She couldn't imagine how Song Shiting, who should have been sleeping soundly in the back, could have ended up in the front, and even outside the deformed carriage, with a door panel pressing down on him.
Song Shiting was unconscious.
Ruan Qingling began to pull off his clothes to check his wounds.
Zhou Xiangdong: "..."
Sister-in-law, do you have to be so fierce!
Ruan Qingling didn't care about anything else. After confirming that Song Shiting had no major injuries to his head and chest, she guessed that Song Shiting had been knocked unconscious by the aftershocks of the explosion and the surrounding environment.
His leg was injured and bleeding.
Ruan Qingling said to Zhou Xiangdong, "Take him to the hospital first."
Zhou Xiangdong still needed to assist in the rescue efforts here, so he could only send someone to make arrangements for Ruan Qingling.
It was almost noon when Ruan Qingling and Song Shiting were arranged to arrive at the nearby county hospital.
Because there are too many injured people, the number of hospital beds is limited.
Ruan Qingling had to handle it herself.
She lied and claimed to be a medical worker in Kunming who could help treat patients.
Time was of the essence, and the hospital was short of medical staff, so Ruan Qingling was not required to show any identification and was allowed to participate in the rescue work.
Ruan Qingling's involvement in the rescue work allowed her to administer medication to Song Shiting earlier, but she also had to take care of other patients.
When Song Shiting woke up, he was stunned for a moment.
I sensed that I was lying on a hospital bed in a corridor, surrounded by moving figures.
He tried to sit up, but suddenly felt excruciating pain in his foot and found that he had an IV drip in his hand!
What about Ruan Qingling?
He subconsciously looked left and right for Ruan Qingling.
He pulled the brake lever urgently, but the train couldn't turn off the track and had to collide head-on.
But if he hadn't braked suddenly, reducing some of the inertial pressure...
At this point, even more people should have died.
He jumped out of the car right then and there, but...
