Chapter 291 Return to 7
The car reversed along the road it had come from, speeding along the way, causing the pebbles on the roadside to bounce and the exhaust fumes to drift behind it.
Zhao Mingkai took two sips of water and a deep breath before he could catch his breath.
"My goodness, those elephants were so fierce! When they charged at me, I almost thought I was going to turn into mincemeat under their feet."
As Zhao Mingkai recounted his feelings upon encountering the herd of elephants, he even waved his arm when he got excited.
"Old Zhao, you're really something. If it were me, I'd be too scared to move."
Wang Tang sat next to Zhao Mingkai, his hand casually hanging behind his seat, his face full of flattery, the corners of his mouth curving to his ears.
"Yeah, Brother Zhao is really amazing. No wonder Captain Wang let you go first."
Fu Qian also praised her, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face.
Just when everyone thought they would return to the base smoothly, the situation came to an abrupt halt.
Caught completely off guard, the group was jolted back by the stretching of their seatbelts, their bodies jolted back between their seats, their heads spinning.
Ye Jingmo quickly shook his groggy head and looked ahead, thinking that some animal had blocked his way again, but found that there was nothing there and no animal in sight.
Jiang Li braced herself against the armrest of her chair, half-stood up, and looked out the window. Only then did she realize that the bridge had collapsed.
The area at the bridgehead was piled with fallen rocks, which appeared to have rolled down from the nearby mountain and crushed the bridge.
Zhang Tianmeng unbuckled her seatbelt, groggily got up, and asked, "What's going on? Are there elephants blocking the car again?"
Liu Yu, in the driver's seat, gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. He had a large bump on his head from hitting the steering wheel, and he rubbed his head, seemingly trying to stay awake.
After regaining their senses, Wang Hao and the others quickly checked on Liu Yu beside them. Only after confirming that he was alright did they relax a little. "Liu Yu, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I just bumped into something."
Liu Yu waved his hand, telling Wang Hao not to worry.
"Why did the bridge collapse? Was there a landslide?"
Zhang Tianmeng stared intently at the scene before her, her back drenched in cold sweat.
If they hadn't braked in time, they might have fallen off the mountain with their vehicle, potentially being smashed to pieces.
The base certainly won't be able to wait for them to return.
Jiang Li looked out the window at the flocks of birds flying over the mountains and forests, feeling uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
Seeing Jiang Li's worried expression, Ye Jingmo put his hand on Jiang Li's back and patted him gently as if to comfort him.
His movements were gentle, like floating clouds, slowly calming Jiang Li's chaotic heartbeat.
"what happened?"
Ye Jingmo's voice rang in Jiang Li's ears, and his slightly hoarse voice made Jiang Li's ears feel numb.
"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling."
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo shared their inner feelings.
Ye Jingmo ruffled Jiang Li's hair. "It's okay, I'm here for you. We'll face anything together. Is there something wrong with you?"
Jiang Li tried hard to recall what she felt was wrong, feeling as if she had grasped the idea, but still couldn't figure out the specific problem.
Jiang Li could only shake her head at me, indicating that she didn't know what was wrong, it was just a feeling in her heart.
After a moment of silence, Ye Jingmo spoke up, "In that case, let's observe the situation again on the way back."
