Chapter 870: Hanging By A Thread
The entire vehicle shook violently a few times. Seeing the vehicle about to crash into the safety barrier, Su Wan subconsciously closed her eyes!
At that moment, the fear of death invaded Su Wan’s entire body!
She even lost half a beat of her breath!
And the first thought that came to her mind was, if she fell off the cliff and died like that, then would she and Jiang Xuecheng be considered a couple with the same fate?
Back on Earth, Jiang Xuecheng had always said that not only would they be together in this life, they would also be together in the next life.
But she did not expect that the next life could come so quickly!
It was so fast that people did not even have the chance to prepare!
In just a few seconds, Su Wan felt that countless thoughts had flashed through her mind.
However, she only heard a loud bang. At the critical moment between life and death, Jiang Xuecheng turned the steering wheel rapidly. With his precise calculation, the rear wheel of the car was firmly stuck in the sunken area on the shoulder of the road!
Because of this obstacle, the entire car came to a sudden stop!
Although the speed of the car was not very fast, due to the inertia, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng both leaned forward rapidly.
Su Wan only felt that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were in great pain. Fortunately, the safety device jumped out in time, and Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng barely survived. They did not fall to pieces before they fell off the cliff.
At this moment, an extremely terrifying scene appeared on the Huanhai Highway!
A gray-black shabby off-road vehicle was hanging on the shoulder of the road. Almost half of the car that extended out from the front was suspended in the air, and it was about to fall off the cliff!
If anyone other than Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng saw this scene, they would probably immediately rub their eyes and wonder if they had seen wrongly!
…
As she was buried into the safety device, Su Wan’s face turned red. She took a deep breath and asked Jiang Xuecheng urgently, “What should we do?”.
“The car seems to be half stuck on the shoulder and half on the cliff. What should we do?”
Before Su Wan finished her sentence, she suddenly felt the entire car start to shake. She could not help but fall forward!
Oh G.o.d!
Through the transparent window, Su Wan could even see the sparkling and rolling seawater below!
With a crack, the safety railing that had been smashed into pieces fell down the cliff and was soon drowned in the rolling waves!
Oh G.o.d!
Su Wan’s pupils suddenly constricted. She immediately s.h.i.+fted her gaze back and did not dare to look at it again!
Was she and Jiang Xuecheng going to fall off the cliff and into the sea like the broken safety railing?!
They were going to be smashed into pieces together with this car?!
Su Wan thought about that scene and her heart was filled with fear. She was so scared that she almost lost her mind. Even her breathing became sluggis.h.!.+
At that moment, Su Wan suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng’s voice.
“Wan Wan, lean back! The whole car is falling off the cliff now. Let’s try our best to stabilize the car first and then see if we can return to the road!”
Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was indifferent. His tone was even calmer than usual, which made him feel inexplicably reliable!
“Okay!”
Su Wan gritted her teeth. She knew that it was a moment of life and death, and anxiety was useless.
Su Wan held her breath and slowly leaned her hand toward the back seat, trying to lean her body toward the shoulder of the road to reduce the burden on the front half of the car.
However, at this moment, the car swayed toward the cliff again!
Su Wan was. .h.i.t so hard that she almost screamed.
Su Wan even heard the sound of rocks rolling down, and the car also made a frightening sound of moving, as if it would fall off the cliff in the next second!
This was too challenging!
“Wan Wan, this car has most likely been tampered with. Not only did the brakes fail, but the steering wheel is also problematic. I don’t dare to step on the accelerator now, for fear of directly rus.h.i.+ng out of the cliff.”
Someone tampered with the car?!
No wonder the brakes were the first to fail.
Su Wan felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on her. Her head went cold all the way to the soles of her feet.
Jiang Xuecheng was the emperor of the G.o.d’s Palace. Who would want to harm them like this?
She pinched her palm with all her might. That sharp pain finally made Su Wan sober up a little.
“Wan Wan, are you afraid of death?”
Su Wan didn’t expect Jiang Xuecheng to have the mood to ask such a question at this time.
Su Wan tilted her head and nodded at Jiang Xuecheng, then shook her head.
“I’m very afraid of death, but now is not the time to be afraid of this. Jiang Xuecheng, I want to live with you.”
Su Wan paused, her face showing a bit of anxiety.
“Jiang Xuecheng, we can fall at any time. Do you think we can try to open the car door and climb up near the safety railings and cliffs that are not broken?”
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his lips as he shook his head at Su Wan.
“The entire car is already on the verge of collapse. Most of it is lying off the cliff. I’m afraid that it will be very difficult to do this now.”
Jiang Xuecheng sighed and continued to explain to Su Wan.
“If either of us tries to climb up the road, we’ll have to borrow the strength of this car first, while the other will instantly fall with the car and die without a burial place!”
The sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly, but when Su Wan heard the words of Jiang Xuecheng, she felt her vision go black!
Su Wan bit the corner of her lips. She thought for a second and immediately said to Jiang Xuecheng without hesitation.
“Jiang Xuecheng, I have been infected with CHK Virus No.3. Anyway, I don’t know how long I can live. Death is just a matter of time for me. Jiang Xuecheng, climb up!”
Su Wan knew that Xuecheng was agile. As long as Xuecheng didn’t care about her safety, with his physical strength, he could definitely survive!
Su Wan was clear about her physical condition. After that time when she couldn’t lift the string wheel while flying a kite, she had already felt that all aspects of her strength were insufficient.
Therefore, rather than two people dying in the sea to feed the fish, it was better to let Xuecheng survive!
He was still so young, there was no need for him to die with her!
Jiang Xuecheng obviously did not expect Su Wan to have such thoughts!
His face turned cold, and without thinking, he reprimanded Su Wan!
“Wan Wan, what nonsense are you talking about! I won’t abandon you! If you want to die, Let’s die together, if you want to live, let’s live together!”
When Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng’s words, her heart was touched and bitter, but it was more anxious.
“But–”
“There’s no buts! I won’t run for my life alone!”
If he couldn’t protect Su Wan, then what was the point even if he survived?!
Jiang Xuecheng stopped Su Wan with a stern voice. His face was as cold as ice as he started to scan the surroundings.
All of a sudden, Jiang Xuecheng found a crooked tree about half a meter away from the front of the car!
Although the tree was bare and did not have many leaves, it looked like a few branches were very thick and strong.
If he and Su Wan could grab it, they should be able to support their weight for a short while!
Jiang Xuecheng’s face lit up and he immediately turned his head to look at Su Wan.
“Wan Wan, we’re saved!”
