Why don't you believe I'm a reincarnated person?

Chapter 23 provides one important piece of information.

"Waaaaah... How could this happen..."

How is everyone?

"Oh, my leg feels like it's broken, ouch—"

"..."

When Chen Xiaoyu regained consciousness, she heard crying and groans of pain all over the carriage.

"Driver!"

"Driver, how are you?"

Class monitor Lin Haiyao was not injured. At this moment, she struggled to help up her classmates who had fallen in the carriage and squeezed towards the driver.

The driver appeared to be having a heart attack; he was unconscious, his face as white as paper, devoid of any color, and his breathing and pulse had dropped to a barely perceptible level. Clearly, his condition was very serious.

At least a dozen students suffered injuries of varying degrees in the rollover accident. Two of them were seriously injured and had fainted, with blood still oozing from their mouths and noses, which looked quite frightening.

"What should we do?"

"It seems there's no phone signal. Can you see if your phone can make a call?"

Lin Haiyao tried to call for help, but found that her phone had no signal at all.

"Try calling 110 or 119 directly!"

A classmate reminded me.

"No, I've already tried."

"When your phone bill is overdue, you can directly dial special numbers like 110 or 119, but now we are in a mountainous area with no communication signal, so we can't dial those special numbers either."

Chen Xiaoyu looked at her phone and shook her head helplessly.

In this accident, most people were okay, at least they listened to the driver's safety instructions and wore seat belts, so they only suffered minor problems such as scratches. Only a few disobedient boys did not wear seat belts and were seriously injured, including two who were unconscious, which is extremely worrying.

The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier, and the blizzard blocked their view of the outside world, reducing visibility to no more than ten meters.

They only know that they are in a valley beside a mountain road, but they have no way of knowing their exact location.

Unable to contact the outside world and with darkness falling, everyone was in a state of panic.

Since the bus had already turned off its engine and the air conditioning inside had been shut off long ago, the temperature dropped very quickly and it already felt quite cold, only slightly better than outside, providing some shelter from the wind and snow.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

"We must find a way to save ourselves!"

Several boys stepped forward; they planned to go out and find their way.

If a road out of the mountains can be found, there is a way to stop passing vehicles and then call for help.

Their reasons were also very valid: two students were unconscious and the driver's fate was unknown; they couldn't afford to waste any time, and they were racing against death.

"But it's almost dark now."

"Going out is too risky. This blizzard shows no signs of stopping, and it's easy to get lost."

"Let's wait until tomorrow morning and decide based on the weather conditions."

Girls tend to be more conservative in their thinking, but it also sounds safer.

Although they had never heard of any large, ferocious beasts roaming around Jinwu Mountain, how could a group of students possibly find their way out of the mountain in this icy, snowy landscape with poor visibility?

If any further accidents occur, it will only make matters worse for them.

The two opinions quickly clashed, and neither side could convince the other. Even the class monitor, Lin Haiyao, couldn't stop the boys from going out to scout the way.

"Be careful and conserve your energy. If it's impossible, retreat."

In the end, Lin Haiyao could only offer this advice.

"Bring some chocolate; it will provide the necessary energy in this cold weather."

Chen Xiaoyu took out the chocolates Ye Kai had given her and shared them with a few boys who had gone out to scout ahead.

Regardless of the circumstances, even if they disagreed, they were doing it for everyone's sake.

After the boys left, they quickly disappeared into the snowstorm. Chen Xiaoyu couldn't even see their backs; all she could see was the swirling snow sweeping away all traces, as if they had never been there at all.

"well--"

Chen Xiaoyu took out her phone and looked at it. It still showed no signal, and the battery level had dropped below 60%.

However, when she checked the call log, she found that Ye Kai had called twice in the afternoon. Although she didn't answer or hear anything, the call was still recorded.

"Brother Ye Kai."

Seeing these two records, Ye Kai's image appeared before Chen Xiaoyu's eyes, bringing her a glimmer of hope.

……

"This is troublesome!"

"Ye Kai is right, that car is missing, and some parents are already worried!"

Shen Mingsun frowned, looking at the blizzard outside the window, and said to Liu Weiwei, deputy director of the government office.

Although Shen Mingsun had already begun mobilizing manpower to organize a rescue team after Ye Kai called him to report the incident, he still had some doubts about the matter. It wasn't until some parents reported that their children had not returned on time that Shen Mingsun finally realized that the accident had probably already occurred.

"Mayor, this is a very serious matter!"

"Twenty-seven students are stranded in the mountains by the snowstorm, their situation is unknown, their location is unknown, and the blizzard is so severe..."

Liu Weiwei was also very troubled.

He was specifically responsible for organizing the rescue team, and he did so very quickly. However, the blizzard was intensifying, causing great inconvenience to the rescue work.

Although the rescue team had arrived near Jinwu Mountain and launched a preliminary search, the results were poor. They were unable to pinpoint the location of the accident or find any traces.

The snow was so heavy that it erased all traces left on the road.

"Beep beep—"

Shen Mingsun's personal cell phone rang.

"Ye Kai?"

Shen Mingsun glanced at the caller ID and answered immediately.

"Uncle Shen."

"I suddenly remembered something. The tourist road leading to Jinwu Mountain seems to be under repair, so they must have taken the old road up the mountain. Based on the time, the accident might have happened somewhere..."

Over the phone, Ye Kai provided an important piece of information, as well as his general deductions about the location of the incident.

"Uh-huh."

"Contact the road administration department to see if this situation is true?"

Shen Mingsun took it very seriously and immediately arranged for Liu Weiwei to implement it.

Soon, Liu Weiwei contacted the road administration department and obtained the information they wanted.

"Mayor, this is true!"

"We can narrow down the search and rescue operation to a smaller area! The rescue team at the front guarantees that the initial search of this area can be completed before 10 p.m.!"

Liu Weiwei returned to report to his supervisor with some joy.

"Very good!"

"Remember to arrange for medical personnel and ambulances, and make sure there are sufficient medications available!"

Upon hearing this news, Shen Mingsun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the search and rescue operation can be completed before 10 p.m. tonight, then even if the bus was involved in an accident, the losses should be reduced to an acceptable level.

I hope he doesn't cause any major trouble on his first day in office.
