Chapter 9: Escape from Death

"This ......" Cheng Cheng opened his mouth wide, and the whole person was stunned in place, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

Everyone has already understood: if I hadn't forcibly pulled them out of the car just now, then the four of us would have been in a car accident by now, and our lives and deaths are uncertain!

The bone-chilling chill instantly surged through the whole body of several of us.

Witnessing this strange thing in front of him, even Cheng Cheng, who is the head of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Police Bureau and is accustomed to seeing all kinds of horrific murders, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he turned his head to look at me, his eyes were full of shock and questions.

And Li Haijun, who was beside him, asked directly in a slightly trembling voice: "Ji, Detective Ji, how do you know——"

"Don't talk about this yet, it's important to save people!" Cheng Cheng reacted suddenly-there may be injured at the scene of the accident!

He pulled his leg and ran towards the scene of the accident in the distance.

"Yes, Team Cheng!"

As soon as Cheng Cheng shouted, Liu Haijun immediately agreed and ran after Cheng Cheng.

In my heart, I felt that it was inappropriate, but I couldn't stop it, so I had to run with it, shouting at the old knife: "Quick, stop them!" Don't get too close! ”

Before we could get to the accident site, the bus was already on fire.

Lao Dao and I quickly grabbed the other two and prevented them from rushing forward immediately.

The scene was extremely miserable, and the ground was already red.

The ground was full of stumps and broken arms, occasionally intact people, the joints and bodies of the hands and feet were twisted to a state that a living person would never do, and as far as the eye could see, the black asphalt was covered with blood-stained corpses, and there was not a single living person!

In the burning carriage, blood kept dripping outward, but no one called for help.

Except for the sound of a few of us breathing heavily, there was a terrible and eerie silence all around.

Cheng Cheng gasped for breath quickly, and suddenly struggled violently: "If you let go of me, there may be living people in that carriage!" ”

"Look there!"

I turned his head in the direction of the front half of the bus, Cheng Cheng only glanced at it, and his body suddenly froze!

The passengers in the half of the carriage were unnaturally twisted, all together, and some of the limbs of the corpses were exposed through the windows of the car, and the flesh was also blurred, and the white bones of the forest were exposed.

But what made Cheng Cheng stiff was not these, but two things at the head of the bus!

That's two paper dummies!

One is wearing a seat belt and is still sitting in the driver's seat!

The other has his upper body exposed outside the car window, and one of the paper man's right hands still maintains a gesture like a farewell!

The face of the paper figure is painted with a lifelike human face -

That's right, one of these two paper figures is the driver of this bus, and the other is the young female conductor!

Seeing this scene, how could Cheng Cheng not be shocked? Can you not stiffen your whole body?!

Liu Haijun, who also saw this scene, was even more uneasy, let out an exclamation, and was already so frightened that he sat on the ground.

On the other side of the tanker, the window glass was shattered, and the driver was still tied to the seat with a seat belt, but his body and face were covered with glass shards, and his eyes were unwillingly open, and he seemed to be helpless.

Although the scene was tragic and the events were weird, the danger we faced should have passed - but strangely, my heart was still beating like a drum!

Is there something else wrong?

My eyes wandered around the scene of the accident, and suddenly fell on the asphalt pavement, and my face suddenly turned blue:

"Run! Come on! - Old knife, pull him up, quick! ”

The timbre of my roar has changed, almost like a scream!

But I didn't care about anything, I grabbed Cheng Cheng's collar violently, turned around and ran wildly into the distance!

The old knife's reaction was also very fast, and he picked up Liu Haijun on the ground, and then the two of them also ran behind me!

"Boom!"

In less than twenty seconds, a deafening explosion accompanied by a violent air current, came from behind me!

The thrust of the air flow was so great that it immediately swept me away and threw me into the air for more than a meter, and only then did a dog gnaw on the mud and fall the asphalt road!

I looked back in horror – and sure enough, the tanker had exploded!

The flames were blazing, black smoke was rising into the sky, and even though I was some distance from the explosion site, I could still feel the heat wave rolling in.

The old knives were the same, and they were tossed to the ground by the air flow of the explosion.

But Cheng Cheng, who was closest to me, had already gotten up from the ground and was shaking his reflex to look behind him......

But I saw a little flash in my eyes, and quickly yelled: "Lie down-"

As I spoke, I landed on all fours like a beast, rushed forward, and knocked Cheng Cheng down!

"Boom!"

Another loud explosion rang out, and at the same time, I felt a sharp whistling above my head, as if something was flying against my scalp!

"Bang dang!"

A heavy object fell not far away, and Cheng Cheng and I saw that it was the U-shaped leaf spring of the fuel tanker truck - the steel plate used for shock absorption in the chassis of the car!

The longest of these steel plates is more than a meter, and there are a total of 8 pieces stacked on top of each other, which may weigh dozens of kilograms!

- If I hadn't knocked down Cheng Cheng just now......

The consequences are already self-evident.

Cheng Cheng may have been smashed into a pulp on the spot by the flying big steel!

This time the explosion was more violent than the last one, and when I looked back again, both the fuel tanker truck and the bus had been blown to pieces.

Of course, the two paper figures were also reduced to ashes in the fire.

Cheng Cheng and I were both gasping violently, and I saw that Cheng Cheng was trembling slightly, which was a natural reaction of people under extreme fear, which was uncontrollable.

Until I pulled Cheng Cheng up from the ground and made him sit on the ground, his eyes were still staring at the leaf spring not far away.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at me, and I saw Cheng Cheng sweating like rain and his face was pale.

"Are you...... How do you know? He struggled to open his mouth.

"Get off, or now?"

"All."

I didn't answer immediately, I took out the cigarette case and lighter from my pocket, lifted the lid of the cigarette case, and handed one to Cheng Cheng first—I realized that my own fingers were also trembling terribly.

Lighting a cigarette for myself and Cheng Cheng, I still gave the cigarette case to Lao Dao, and Lao Dao gave a cigarette to Liu Haijun, who was also in shock, and then lit it for myself.

None of the four of us spoke, just smoked in silence, and each of us found that our hands were shaking violently.

When I was almost finished smoking a cigarette, I felt like my heart was beating normally again.

"Don't you see? There was a problem with the passengers in that car. Although everyone seems to be okay on the surface, the only thing missing is the anger of the living. I let out a long puff of white smoke and suppressed my tone.

After listening to me, the old knife took a few puffs of cigarette and muttered, "When you say that, I also remember." The people on the bus are like pre-programmed robots, acting mechanically and repeatedly, with empty expressions on their faces, especially the female conductor, who is obviously smiling at you, but there is something strange about that smile that cannot be described......"

I said, "Like the kind of paper man girl who accompanies the funeral, the kind of fake smile painted on her face?" ”

Li Haijun trembled: "Detective Ji, why are you still scaring people?" ”

"Don't you see? Or do you think you're hallucinating? I saw it clearly anyway, the driver and conductor in that bus turned out to be two fucking paper dummies! The old knife snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground. Don't you tell me you didn't see all of it? ”

"I see it." Cheng Cheng said in a deep voice.

I nodded.

"I ...... I saw it too. Li Haijun said.

This guy was scared and weak, and only now is he convinced that he was seeing the truth, and I really don't know if he should be called unresponsive or too firm in his belief in science.

"We've been sitting in a hearse for so long...... If it weren't for you, we would have been lucky this time. The old knife sighed.

I waved his hand so he didn't care.

"Then, how do you know that the tanker truck is going to explode, and there will be another explosion in the back, and it will fly......" Cheng Cheng glanced at the huge spring steel plate not far away, "Fly that thing." ”

"It's not weird at all. At that time, I saw that the tanker truck had leaked, and the oil that had leaked was almost flowing to the burning bus, so I told you to run. As for the next explosion, it was a bit of a gut feeling, because I actually just saw a little flash of light at the time. I answered honestly.

"Anyway, this time it's really thanks to you - I owe you my life." Cheng Cheng said to me sincerely.

"Team Cheng, this is the outside." I held out my hand.

Cheng Cheng took my hand and shook it heavily.

……

"Doodoo——!"

The familiar sound of horns sounded in the distance, and when I turned around, it was our two army green BAIC warriors.
