Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart
Chapter 38 Falling into the River
Cheng Jun, who was at the south end of the bridge, saw this scene and cursed, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you rushing to be reincarnated?"
"Wait till you get here, and see how I deal with you."
His gaze then fell on Su Mu's car, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
At this time, Su Mu's car was still seventy or eighty meters away from the south end of the bridge.
While driving, he suddenly felt the bridge surface shake slightly. His expression changed immediately, and he knew something was wrong. He quickly accelerated again.
An Xin couldn't help but gasp in surprise, her face turning pale with fright.
Su Mu glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that the bus had already driven onto the bridge and was quickly chasing after him.
He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, are these guys crazy?!"
"You didn't even bother to look at what the bridge looks like, and you still dared to come up here!"
But with no other option, he could only floor the gas pedal and speed towards the other side of the bridge.
They hadn't run far when the bridge suddenly swayed violently, followed by a suffocating feeling of weightlessness. He and An Xin, along with the car, were rapidly falling into the river along with the bridge deck.
Su Mu was also terrified and his face turned pale. If he fell straight down, he would be dead.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated the energy of the Mechanical Heart. A flash of blue light enveloped the vehicle almost instantly, and it began to transform rapidly.
But the next moment, with a splash, their car plunged into the river. It bobbed and tumbled in the surging waves, disappearing from sight in a short time.
The bus also plunged into the river with them. Sharp screams came from inside, but it was submerged in the river in the blink of an eye. The bus rolled on the surface of the river and sank rapidly.
They gradually disappeared into the distance.
The moment Su Mu and the others fell into the river, Cheng Jun roared, transformed into a Titan, and leaped into the river.
His enormous body appeared extremely small in the river.
Despite his own safety, he continued searching for Su Mu's carriage in the river, calling out loudly, "Su Mu! Su Mu!"
Where are you?!
The voice was filled with anxiety and sorrow.
On the highway south of the bridge, Yu Yao, Ling Hao, and the others also heard the sound of the bridge collapsing. They jumped out of their cars and ran towards the scene.
Then they heard Cheng Jun shouting in the river.
Yu Yao's legs went weak, and she almost fell over. She cried out, "Xin Xin, Xin Xin has fallen into the river!"
He then rushed towards the riverbank, saying, "I'm going to find Xinxin."
"Yuyao." Ling Hao's expression changed upon seeing this, and he rushed forward to grab her. "Calm down."
"Cheng Jun has already gone down to look for him."
"But he didn't find it." Yu Yao looked at Ling Hao with panicked eyes, her face pale, tears streaming down her face. "He didn't find it."
"Xinxin must be feeling terrible."
"I need to find her! I need to find her!"
"Yuyao." Ling Hao was also anxious, but he couldn't let Yuyao take any risks. "Cheng Juncai, go down."
"Maybe we'll find it soon."
"Calm down."
"When we find An Xin later, she won't want to see you like this either."
Yu Yao stopped in her tracks, took a few deep breaths, and forced herself to calm down, but she just couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.
"Xinxin, you must take good care of yourself, or I will never forgive you!"
Ling Hao let out a slow breath, feeling very sad, and said softly, "Yu Yao, go back to the car first."
"Once we find An Xin and the others, I'll have her come see you as soon as possible."
"No, I'm not going anywhere." Yu Yao shook her head, her gaze fixed on the river in front of her. "I'll wait for her here."
"I want to see her as soon as possible."
Helpless, Ling Hao had two umbrellas brought to him, and stood there keeping Yu Yao company while anxiously waiting for news from Cheng Jun.
Jiangzhong
Cheng Jun was still searching desperately, but still found nothing, and his voice was getting hoarse from shouting.
The river water kept crashing against his body, and the biting cold made his face turn pale.
But he was completely unaware, swimming in the river, his eyes filled with anxious searching.
Hundreds of meters away from him, a deformed bread cart bobbed on the river surface, drifting rapidly downstream.
This was Su Mu's car. When it fell into the water, he quickly transformed it into a fully enclosed vehicle, like a submarine.
But amidst the immense force and turbulence of the river, he and An Xin were thrown into a daze and lost consciousness.
The two lay sprawled in the carriage, occasionally bumping into each other as the carriage swayed.
I don't know how much time passed, maybe two hours, maybe three. The sky outside gradually darkened.
The rain was still falling, and the wind was still howling.
Su Mu slowly woke up, rubbing the still-aching back of his head and letting out a hiss. His whole body ached.
He glanced out of the car and saw that the river had calmed down and the car wasn't shaking as badly, which reassured him.
Suddenly remembering something, he quickly looked around the rest of the carriage and saw An Xin lying on the back seat with one leg draped over the back of the seat and her head down, looking extremely disheveled.
He quickly rolled over, helped An Xin sit up, and called out several times, "An Xin, An Xin, wake up!"
"Wake up!"
An Xin opened her eyes groggily, and after a moment of confusion, her gaze finally focused. When she saw that it was Su Mu in front of her, she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
"Alright, alright." Su Mu patted her back, gently comforting her, "We're safe for now."
"Waaah~, waaaah~" An Xin continued to cry, "I thought I'd never see you again!"
"I'm perfectly fine," Su Mu said softly, feeling a warmth in his heart. "You're alright too."
"Mmm." An Xin nodded and released Su Mu. As if realizing her impulsiveness just now, her face unconsciously turned red with embarrassment.
Su Mu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then turned away from her and looked out the car window. They needed to get back to shore as soon as possible to find Cheng Jun and the others.
The river here is several times wider than where they fell into the water before, a full three or four miles wide.
They are now adrift in the middle of the river, and the only way to get back to shore is to find a boat.
As for turning this bread truck into a boat, he did want to, but the truck's engine had been submerged in water for so long that it was unusable, and it would lose power once it became a boat.
They could only rely on rowing by hand, so it was better to use the existing boat, "Dream Chaser." He then began searching the carriage.
"What are you looking for?" An Xin asked.
"Find that decorative sailboat," Su Mu said as he searched.
Upon hearing this, An Xin also joined him in the search. "What do you need it for?"
"It's a sequence artifact," Su Mu said without hiding anything. "Once we find it, we can ride it back to the riverbank."
