Liang Chen had no choice but to park his car at a highway junction not far from the accident site. After locking his vehicle, he grabbed his smartphone and began to run inward.

Liang Chen’s hasty departure, still in his pyjamas and slippers, diverted the attention of everyone stuck in their vehicles towards him.
Liang Chen tried to act composed, but his clenched fists revealed his deep-seated anxiety.
Despite his good physical fitness, he was exhausted after running for more than twenty miles.
One of his shoes had fallen off at some point, and his feet were covered in painful blisters caused by the friction against the tarred road.
He had never experienced this kind of hardship before.
Halfway through the journey, Liang Chen several times felt like his legs were about to snap, and he was on the verge of collapsing. However, each time, he would tell himself to hang on. In the end, ‘hang on’ had turned into Jing Haohao’s name. It seemed like a belief that kept him running persistently. When Liang Chen finally spotted the red warning tape, it was as if he had seen the dawn. He quickened his steps as if filled by a new surge of energy.
…
The atmosphere at the scene was far more shocking than what was portrayed on television.
All the emergency responders wore solemn expressions. The commanding officer communicated the situation on the ground through his walkie-talkie.
Liang Chen’s chest was heaving from the exertion, and his heart rose to his throat upon hearing the words of the rescue staff from the echoing sounds within the walkie-talkie.
Almost two hours had passed since the incident. The bus was yet to be found. The odds of surviving a fall from such a high cliff were virtually zero. If anyone managed to escape death, they could not have emerged unscathed. After two hours… they might have already bled out.
The motorway was built on a mountain, where it was cold and windy. The strong winds tousled Liang Chen’s hair.
He stared down at the tree-covered valley below, thinking that Jing Haohao might be down there, perhaps already departed from this world. His body felt completely drained of strength.
He took out his phone intending to call Jing Haohao, only to find a weak signal at the mountain top. Liang Chen held up his phone and walked back and forth. When he finally got some signal, he dialed Jing Haohao’s number, but the call still couldn’t get through.
Unwilling to give up, he dialed again. This time, before he could hang up, he heard a loud voice coming from the walkie-talkie of a traffic policeman behind him: “The bus has been found. Rescue operation has commenced.”
Liang Chen’s grip on his phone tightened, as he held his breath. As he continuously redialed Jing Haohao’s number, his gaze was fixed on the valley below.
About half an hour later, a helicopter gradually ascended from below and landed in the middle of the highway.
The door of the helicopter opened, and two paramedics emerged, carrying a body.
Perhaps, the overturning of the bus in the valley had caused a fire. The body they carried out was in a terrible state, with uneven burns on the clothes and hair, and both bloodstains and burn marks on the skin.
Liang Chen slowly lowered his phone, pursed his lips, and watched as one after another, bodies were carried out from the helicopter.
