After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 612: Chapter 447 Awakening, Rescuing People_3

Fang Huai stared blankly ahead.

Ice, there truly was ice everywhere.

In his previous life, they said the accident took place in a valley with ice on the ground, and he had always assumed it was the valley that was icy. He’d even rolled down the window to feel the temperature. Damn it, was this the kind of ice they dealt with?!

The valley should be before the tunnel, right? Where the hell is the valley here? It made him slightly lower his guard when passing through the valley, thinking the next valley was still ahead!

Rumors really screw you over!

Fang Huai took a deep breath, immediately looked back, and then, gazed ahead.

No cars were coming from behind, it seemed that they hadn’t arrived at the same time as in his previous life.

The slow lane ahead was filled with cars, yet there was not a person in sight.

The Traffic Police hadn’t arrived either.

"Get out of the car, it’s dangerous to stay here!"

Fang Huai made a decisive decision, at that moment there were no distinctions of rank or seniority, he grabbed Li Zhi’s arm, and hurriedly got out on the right side of the car.

He then urged Squad Leader Qiu, "Open the trunk, get out quickly!"

Squad Leader Qiu didn’t know what he planned to do, but with a swoosh, the trunk popped open.

The three of them got out of the car and only then heard the crying and shouting, which seemed to come from far away, beyond the highway barrier, from the large slope.

There seemed to be a slope there that could be descended, but what was an instant for a car over a distance of one hundred some meters was far too great for a person on foot.

Fang Huai immediately pulled the two of them to the side, having them take shelter next to the outer wall of the tunnel.

This place—cars couldn’t hit them even if they tried. It must be the safest area within a dozen meters.

"Stay there, don’t move! Don’t you dare move! It’s dangerous!"

Fang Huai shouted as he ran toward the back of the car without time to care about the vehicles on the other side. Right now, the most important thing was to avoid any more rear-end collisions. He quickly ran to the back of the car, opened the trunk bed, and grabbed the most handy tool at hand—an illuminated tripod—and dashed inside the pedestrian maintenance path beside the tunnel.

When he reached the two people, Fang Huai shouted again:

"Don’t move! Squad Leader Qiu, protect the Detachment Captain! I’m going to stop the cars from behind!"

He stormed into the tunnel and started to hear the alarm sounds.

The sirens of police cars were a low frequency or continuous whistle, ambulances had a high-frequency "waa-waa," and fire trucks sounded with a high-frequency "woo-mm-woo-mm."

An ambulance was on the way.

Fang Huai frantically waved the reflective tripod in his hand, shouting:

"Stop! Stop the car!"

A mud-covered ambulance approached rapidly, the tremendous sound of its siren thundering toward him, instantly drowning out Fang Huai’s voice.

The driver seemed not to see him, although the passenger did point at him and say something to the driver. The ambulance only slowed down a bit. When it passed by him, the driver finally started to turn his head, though it was unclear whether he saw Fang Huai or not.

Watching the car zoom past at seventy or eighty miles per hour, Fang Huai thought this wasn’t good.

Damn it, you might as well not look at me at all. Watch the road!

"This..."

"Boom," with a loud crash.

Hearing that sound, Fang Huai understood that his uncle’s car was going to need repairs.

It was too dark here; even holding the reflective tripod, he wasn’t noticeable—and parking in the tunnel was even more dangerous. He had to go out to stop them.

Fang Huai took out his cell phone, made a call, and continued to run out quickly.

"Beep, beep..."

"Hello!"

"Detachment Captain! An ambulance just crashed over here, are you and Squad Leader Qiu alright?"

Squad Leader Qiu’s voice came from the other end: "It’s fine, fine! Just now, the Detachment Captain wanted to get something from the car, but I didn’t let him go! Thankfully!"

The voice of the Detachment Captain resounded, "Little Fang, hurry and stop the cars! We’ll evacuate the people from the ambulance first! Try to prevent any more rear-end collisions!"

"Alright!"

Fang Huai hung up the phone and, carrying the tripod, sprinted at full speed.

An athlete capable of running four hundred meters in 46 seconds didn’t falter in the tunnel and was out in no time at all.

Ahead was the valley curve they had just driven through, and there was a straight stretch of road in front of the tunnel where vehicles would normally slow down. This was the best spot for stopping cars now. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Fang Huai placed the tripod a hundred meters in front of the tunnel, then he retreated fifty meters before picking up the phone again to call Cao Yi.

It connected after two rings.

"Hello!"

"Where are you?"

"Almost there, nearly there, the roads are a bit slick, don’t rush me!"

"I’m not rushing you! Li Zhi’s car has been hit! Slow down! There’s a valley curve ahead, slow down when you get to it! The tunnel entrance is right after, I’m waiting for you here! If you encounter any vehicles on the road, turn on your loudspeaker and tell them there’s been a crash at the tunnel exit!"

"Li Zhi’s car got hit? Is everyone okay?"

"It’s fine, it’s fine. Remember to remind other drivers if you see any! Hanging up now!"

"Okay, okay." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Fang Huai put down the phone and quietly watched into the distance.

Internally, he began to plan out how to handle the car accident.

In his previous life, he had heard it was a 13-car pile-up. The cars he had just seen amounted to roughly seven or eight.

That meant if not handled properly, several more cars were likely to collide later on.

The situation was becoming clear now.

This road section had two lanes, one fast lane, one slow lane.

The first scene was about two hundred meters outside the tunnel where a tanker truck had flipped over onto the slow lane, partially blocking the fast lane too. The reason for the flip was unknown; it might be due to the slippery road from the rain plus a sharp turn.

The second scene was around a hundred and fifty meters from the tunnel exit where cars just coming out of the tunnel would suddenly find the overturned tanker ahead. Those on the fast lane might be able to edge through, but those on the slow lane would definitely have to come to a sudden stop.

And if they couldn’t stop in time, rear-end collisions would happen.

In his previous life, his uncle must have stopped not at the tunnel entrance but at the second scene, just behind the conglomerate of rear-ended vehicles a hundred or two meters away.

The moment they came out of the tunnel and suddenly encountered the accident scene, they braked hard.
