Chapter 90 Where is the light?
After the driver said that just now, he accelerated the car and drove into the tunnel. But when we entered the tunnel about a hundred meters away, suddenly a big rock fell in front of us. Looking further ahead, we could vaguely see
In front of the big rock, there was a car pressed against the trunk.
"Zi~!" The driver stopped the car. He was now panicked. He turned to look at me and asked, "Grandma, there really is a mudslide. What should I do now?"
I was silent for a while and said: "I have never encountered a situation like this. Let's check first to see if there is water and food in the car. The front is blocked and we can't get out. First, let's see if we can go in.
Go back behind."
"Okay." The driver nodded and listened to my words, but just as the car was about to reverse, another stone blocked the road behind us. Now, we were "catching a turtle in a jar" and were surrounded by a dead end.
"It's over, it's over, I can't get out now!" The driver was completely panicked. He quickly took out his mobile phone and tried to call for help, "There is no signal here! What should I do!?"
"Brother, can you please stop panicking? I'm not as scared of you as a foreigner. You live in this place all year round, shouldn't you be more accustomed to strange things? At this time, we need to stay calm, talk less, and save more energy.
"
Although I said this, I was actually just as scared in my heart, but I couldn't help it. If I was as panicked as him, the two of them would really be trapped here.
I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and saw the 19% battery in the upper right corner of the phone. This undoubtedly made the already rough situation worse. Forget it, there is no signal for the time being. The mobile phone still has no battery. When I go out,
Now, I haven't let my phone "eat" properly.
Waiting for rescue in the car was no different than sitting still and waiting for death. I stuck my head out of the car window and looked around, and found that there seemed to be no movement for the time being.
"Stay in the car and continue to pay attention to whether there is a signal. Once there is a signal, immediately contact Mr. Sun and ask someone to help. I will go down and check to see if there is a signal."
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety and be careful."
"I got it." I opened the car door and carefully walked along the wall next to me, trying to walk towards the entrance of the tunnel, because that was the place where I was most likely to find the signal!
As I walked over, I was concentrating on my phone to see if there was any signal, but I forgot that there were gravels under my feet. I sprained my foot and almost dropped my phone.
The driver shouted from behind: "Hey! Are you okay? Be careful!"
"It's okay..." I endured the pain from my ankle, turned around and asked, "Do you have a signal over there?"
"Still not, you, why don't you get back to the car, it will be safer here."
"It's okay."
I stood up, but when I was about to walk, suddenly there was movement in the tunnel behind me, and it was right next to where we parked just now.
"Stop staying in the car and come out quickly! Maybe we can run out of the tunnel!" I held on to the wall and yelled at the driver who was still in the car.
He looked at the falling gravel with a horrified expression, and there were indeed cracks in the tunnel wall above. He was so frightened that he quickly got out of the car and trotted towards me.
"What should I do now?" The driver trotted up to me, panting heavily and looking around with vigilance. "I remembered that this tunnel was just completed half a year ago, but it is said that it was done hastily. There is a section inside
There is a problem with the road. It is probably almost where we are. Fortunately, we parked quickly. If we had driven in a little later, we would really not be able to get out!"
I looked around, then my eyes fell on him and asked, "Is there any water and food in the car?"
"Yes, I brought them all over. They're all here." He opened his small backpack and showed me that there were three bottles of mineral water and half a box of soda crackers. What we had in front of us was our last hope.
"Okay, let's go then, you follow me."
The two of us walked one after another. Every step we took was slow and difficult. The ground was full of mud and gravel, and there were even steel bars. We thought it was over, but just after we left,
Yes, less than three meters away, a large-scale mudslide actually occurred at the entrance of the tunnel ahead!
After several days of continuous rain, a landslide appeared!
"run!"
I immediately grabbed the driver's arm and ran back. The menacing mudslide was like a dam collapse. We didn't have time to think too much, so we could only run back as hard as we could, but the car would definitely not be able to get on.
"What should we do now?!"
In a hurry, I saw an unlocked safety door not far ahead. I pointed at it and said loudly: "There is a safety door in front. You should be able to go in. Let's hide in it first!"
We were pretty lucky. Before the mudslide washed into the tunnel, the two of us successfully entered the safety door, but... this has become a real dead end. If the rescue team did not arrive in time, then we...
Even if they are not swept away by the mudslide, they will suffocate due to lack of oxygen in this small house!
"It's finally safe..." The driver exhaled heavily and collapsed directly on the ground. He took a big gulp of mineral water.
"Hey! Brother, don't drink water like this. Save it. No one knows how long it will take for us to wait for rescue. No one even knows that we are here. If you drink like this, we will really run out of water later.
I can only wait to die!"
"No... we will definitely wait for the rescue team. Didn't we just receive a radio notification in the car? There is also a mobile phone text message reminder. If we can receive it at that time, then other people will definitely know about it.
This tunnel is the path we must pass through! They will definitely know...that's right!"
His eyes were now dull, and I wasn't much better. My ankles had become red and swollen, so I simply sat on the ground and said nothing.
…
For us in the tunnel safe room, time has become very slow, as if the days are passing like years. It has been more than an hour since we came in. I tried to get the signal through the vents, but it didn't work at all. Now even the vents are blocked.
The mudslide outside was blocked.
Through the tiny gaps in the vents and the old desk lamp in the small room, the oxygen in the room was getting thinner and thinner. The driver and I, two grown men, could hardly hold it anymore.
Lying on the ground dying, the "light" of our lives becomes flickering.
At this moment, all my eyes were focused on that little bit of faint light, and I remembered the suicide note I wrote on my mobile phone half an hour ago. If I really died, then the suicide note in the memo would be my last suicide note.
of concern.
I wrote to my family, friends around me, and... Ning Bingrou. In the face of natural disasters, all life is so fragile and insignificant. If possible, I hope that both of us can go out.
If I can... I will learn more: cherish the person in front of me. If I can... I want to tell her that I really want to be with her!
