Chapter 143: Step on the accelerator and crash into me!
It was just a few seconds of distraction, and when she came to her senses, she was about to crash into the Passat in front of her!
Wen Zhixia felt cold all over.
She immediately honked the horn and then turned the steering wheel sharply to the right.
After a sharp brake sound, she narrowly avoided the Passat and ran through the traffic light.
But she didn't feel the slightest bit relieved.
She was well aware that the brakes were failing.
At this moment, the cars on the elevated road were moving at a high speed and it was raining. A slight slip or rear-end collision could result in the car being destroyed and people being killed.
Wen Zhixia made a quick decision, gripped the steering wheel tightly, ignored the horns honking behind him, turned off the overpass and returned to the main road.
At this time, her back was covered in cold sweat and her hands holding the steering wheel were numb.
How to do?
She thought of a solution quickly in her mind. Call the police? Jump out of the car? None of them worked.
Suddenly, a large truck came from the right, and the huge engine started to roar. Wen Zhixia couldn't stop and was about to crash into it!
She gritted her teeth, stepped hard on the accelerator, and drove past the front of the truck just as it was about to hit her.
"Fuck! Are you crazy?" The driver's curse drifted in the rain along with the sound of brakes.
Wen Zhixia's hands were shaking. There was a downhill slope ahead, and she was desperate.
The roads are slippery now due to the rain, and the downhill slope is so steep that if the brakes fail, the downhill slope will be like the road to hell.
Her heart was beating in her throat. Wen Zhixia heard the sound of the wind in her ears and the gradually increasing speed of the car, and she felt a wave of despair in her heart.
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly started ringing non-stop.
Wen Zhixia shuddered. She didn't dare to be distracted at all. She could only glance at the green answer button with her peripheral vision, pressed it quickly, and gripped the steering wheel again.
"What a miracle! You answered my call so soon?"
Fu Ruoshi's lazy and hoarse voice reached his ears, bringing inexplicable peace to Wen Zhixia's heart, which had been desperate a moment ago.
"Hello? Wen Zhixia? Talk to me. Why are you replying to my WeChat instead of talking to me?"
It turned out that just now in the cemetery, when Wen Zhixia was sending her thank you message, raindrops fell on the keyboard, helping her send the two words.
"I..." Wen Zhixia's voice trembled, "Hello..."
"What's wrong with you?" Fu Ruoshi keenly noticed her nasal voice and trembling, and immediately dropped his joking tone, "Where are you?"
Wen Zhixia took a few seconds to gather her thoughts and trembled, "My brakes are not working... I, my car won't stop!"
There was a rumble of thunder.
Fu Ruoshi didn't know if it was really thundering outside or thundering in his heart. He tried his best to suppress his nervousness and calmed his breathing. "Don't be afraid. Steady the steering wheel first and tell me where you are."
"Lubei Avenue."
"it is good."
Fu Ruoshi took a deep breath and said, "Fasten your seat belts and do as I say."
Wen Zhixia had already started downhill. She gripped the steering wheel tightly. "You say."
"Drive forward and take a deep breath," the sound of clicking the mouse came from Fu Ruoshi's side, "pay attention to judge the distance between cars."
Wen Zhixia did as she was told. Fortunately, there were no cars on the downhill road, so she made it safely.
However, just as they reached the intersection, a delivery man suddenly jumped out and rushed across the road.
She was so frightened that she immediately started honking her horn.
The delivery man saw her car rushing towards him like crazy and ran away in fear.
After another close call, Wen Zhixia almost collapsed.
"I've been on a downward spiral."
"Very good," Fu Ruoshi encouraged her. "Go to the next intersection and turn left."
Wen Zhixia did as she was told, "Okay, I'll turn around."
Fu Ruoshi said to her, "Go straight past three intersections. I'll come find you now. Keep talking to me and don't hang up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhixia's phone rang with a low battery sound.
House seemingly endless rain.
Wen Zhixia was almost crying.
"Fu Ruoshi," she cried, "My phone is running out of battery, the charging cable is underneath, and I dare not take my hands off the steering wheel."
"It's okay, I'm on the way, don't be afraid." Fu Ruoshi comforted her, "Listen to me, drive through three intersections, pay attention to the road signs, turn left and there is a driving school, go straight in."
"After entering the driving school, drive to the practice area on the left. Run out of gas, and I'll meet you there."
He spoke concisely and every word was precious.
Wen Zhixia immediately understood what he meant: he wanted her to use up all the gas in the car so that she could escape danger at the lowest cost.
"Okay, I understand," Wen Zhixia replied, "I'll be there now, be careful."
"Ah."
She followed the direction Fu Ruoshi told her, passed three intersections, and soon saw the sign for the driving school.
The people at the driving school gate saw her car and opened it wide. Wen Zhixia drove in. Someone inside held a road sign and directed her to the driving practice field.
Just now, after Fu Ruoshi received her call, he immediately searched for the nearest driving school on the map and notified the people there, asking them to make room for her.
Wen Zhixia went into the driving practice field and, as Fu Ruoshi had said, drove in circles to burn fuel.
When they reached the fifth circle, Fu Ruoshi arrived.
When he saw Wen Zhixia's car, he immediately threw down the umbrella in his hand and ran towards her in the rain. He was dressed in black and walked through the rain and fog, with the hem of his windbreaker fluttering in the wind.
When Wen Zhixia saw him running towards her, her nose felt so sore that she almost cried.
"Open the window," Fu Ruoshi gestured to her, "Open the car window."
Wen Zhixia opened the car window, and Fu Ruoshi came towards her. He threw the walkie-talkie into her car and then passed by her.
"I am coming."
He turned around and heard a voice coming through the intercom, "You'll be fine. Don't cry. Watch the road."
Wen Zhixia bit her lip, resisting the urge to cry, "Yeah."
Fu Ruoshi walked across the lawn and directed several driving school employees to move car tires and build a wall half a person's height.
"How much oil is left?" Fu Ruoshi asked her.
Wen Zhixia replied, "Less than one-third."
"Fasten your seatbelts," Fu Ruoshi said. "Drive toward the tire wall. When you're about three meters away, floor the accelerator and crash through it."
Wen Zhixia looked at the location of the tire wall and saw a concrete wall behind it.
That is, the tires would absorb most of the impact, she would hit the concrete wall, and the airbag would deploy.
Although she knew everything would be fine, she still couldn't control her racing heartbeat under the pressure of such a life-or-death situation.
At this time, the employees of the driving school were also watching the thrilling scene in front of them, and everyone's heart was in their throat.
"Are you ready?"
Fu Ruoshi's palms were clenched until they turned pale. "Don't be afraid. Drive forward. I'll wait for you at the finish line."
He was soaked all over, and as he spoke, he ran quickly towards the concrete wall, his black windbreaker disappearing in the rain.
Wen Zhixia's fingers were numb from clenching.
Ahead, the tire wall was getting closer and closer. She kept taking deep breaths, forcing herself to stay calm.
"Wen Zhixia, get ready." Fu Ruoshi stood at the finish line, holding the intercom to his lips. His furrowed brows betrayed his extreme tension. "Step on the gas! Crash!"
Wen Zhixia closed her eyes and yelled, "Get out of the way!"
boom! ! !
There was darkness in front of him.
After a loud bang, there was deathly silence.
The front of the car passed through the tire wall and hit the concrete wall before finally stopping, with white smoke rising all around.
"Wen Zhixia!!!"
Fu Ruoshi dropped the intercom, opened the car door, and carried Wen Zhixia out of the car.
