Ye Qing's fingers turned white as he gripped the steering wheel. His face was ashen. After calling his father several times, Ye Qing realized that his father's injuries might be far more serious than what his mother had described.
He wished he could teleport to Zhongyun City immediately and fight the family members of those who had hit him, but his remaining reason told him not to do so.
That was because the next day's morning news headlines would be fanned by an additional headline: A serious accident occurred in a local factory. The factory's person-in-charge was rude and attacked the family members of the injured.
The road ahead was still congested. Ye Qing abruptly turned the van around and took another route.
Ye Qing was familiar with the roads near Zhongyun City. He reversed the car to prevent himself from being stuck in traffic for a long time. However, the road was not in good condition. It was built by the local kilns in the early years to transport trucks. Later, the kilns were closed, and the local people did not like to use the bumpy road.
The Wuling Light van was driven by bearings and had a high chassis. When it was empty, it was half an off-road vehicle. Ye Qing was not afraid of going down the bumpy road.
They passed through fields of farmland and a small village. When the van drove past huge pits that looked like they had been bombed by nuclear bombs, the road conditions gradually worsened, and the van bounced along.
Carefully avoiding the big pits caused by the heavy goods, Ye Qing remembered that after a while, the road would be seriously sunken and they would need to take a detour through the fields next to it.
This was also the reason why Ye Qing was willing to wait a little longer when he encountered a traffic jam. He did not know much about crops. It would be fine if it was wheat, but if corn and watermelons were planted, the van would not be able to move at all. It would crush the crops in the fields.
Soon, a pit half the size of a person appeared in front of the van. Fortunately, the fields on both sides were planted with wheat, and there were many car tracks on the wheat field. Ye Qing followed the tracks left by his predecessor.
"I'm sorry, big brother. I had no choice but to use this wheat field. I heard that the wheat seedlings are still growing despite being crushed." As he drove, Ye Qing apologized to the owner of the field.
"Bang!"
Before Ye Qing could finish his sentence, the front left tire of the van burst. It sounded like a detonator going off.
Ye Qing felt as if his insides were on fire. He hurriedly got out of the car to take a look.
In the end, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw it. The left front wheel of the van was covered with sharp steel nails.
Ye Qing, who was familiar with machinery, discovered that this thing was not a part of any agricultural machinery at all. Instead, it was welded together with steel nails and placed here specifically for breaking tires.
This thing was placed in the wheat field. With the green wheat covering it, Ye Qing wouldn't be able to see it no matter how good his eyesight was.
When he took a closer look, Ye Qing was almost scared to death. The wheat fields on both sides of the road were actually filled with these things. After a rough search, Ye Qing found more than ten of them.
What kind of hatred and resentment was this? Brother, you don't have to be so generous to crush the wheat fields, right?
After removing the tire breaker from the tire, Ye Qing hurriedly got into the car and backed onto the road. However, the left wheel was stuck in the soft wheat field and refused to come out. The rear wheel kept slipping, rolling the wheat everywhere.
It was impossible to change tires in the soft wheat field. Ye Qing took out a jack and a spare wheel. However, after the jack was raised, it directly sank into the soft soil.
This land must have been planted by a bastard. Ye Qing was about to die of anger.
The van was equipped with wrenches, level rulers, sleeves, calipers, voltage detectors, and other maintenance tools. There was no way to put them under the jack.
The wheat field was bare, and there were no tree roots or planks.
The anxious Ye Qing remembered that there were some broken wooden boats in the large pits that had been dug by the roadside. He quickly grabbed a hammer and a power bar and ran back.
These large pits that looked like they had been bombed by nuclear bombs were the masterpieces of the original kilns. Later, the kilns were abandoned. The local residents probably used these large pits filled with water to raise fish and left many broken wooden boats in them.
Ye Qing panted as he ran to the nearest large pit and ran down the slope.
When he reached the bottom, Ye Qing was a little dumbfounded. The pool was full of abandoned hollow bricks. They were almost piled up into a small hill. Next to it was a cliff. Ye Qing was not Spiderman, so he could only climb up the hollow bricks.
The hollow bricks were very sharp. Ye Qing carefully climbed up. When he reached the top, he took a deep breath and jumped down from the two-meter-high brick.
Below him was soft soil, and Ye Qing was completely unharmed. It was just that in midair, Ye Qing could only watch as the phone flew out of his pocket, and then with a plop, fell into the pool in front of him.
After landing, Ye Qing rushed forward and reached out to save the phone that had been given as a gift.
It was bottomless …
Ye Qing extended his entire arm into the pool, but all he could do was watch as the phone slowly sank to the bottom. This was a deep pool left behind by the kilns. Even ten Ye Qing's might not be enough to drown it.
With such deep water, even Phelps would be at a loss, much less Ye Qing.
The phone wasn't worth much, but other than the contacts stored in the cloud that could be synced to the new phone, there was still a lot of information and a large number of photos. No amount of money could exchange for them.
"Heavens, what did I do wrong!" Ye Qing hugged his head and squatted on the ground in pain.
A blue light flashed, stopping Ye Qing's grumbling. Following that, the dark green pool seemed to be connected to a high voltage of 100,000 volts. Countless blue electric arcs burst from the bottom of the pool.
Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom …
The ground shook as the soil on the cliff beside the pool fell down, creating countless splashes.
While the blue electric arcs illuminated the bottom of the pool, they also illuminated Ye Qing's shocked face.
With the help of the light produced by the electric arcs, Ye Qing quickly saw that the intense electric arcs were emitted by the phone that had just fallen to the bottom of the pool.
It was absolutely impossible. The phone's battery capacity was at most 2,000 milliamperes, which was only 0.11 watts. It was extremely difficult to electrocute a fish to death with such a tiny amount of electricity. How could it create a scene that wasn't inferior to an apocalyptic thunderstorm?
However, this was impossible. It had really happened. Ye Qing felt that the scientific values that he had established over the past twenty years had been completely shattered. If his thoughts weren't normal now, Ye Qing even suspected that he had gone crazy from the series of blows and was hallucinating.
What was even crazier was yet to come. The phone flashed with intense electric arcs as it slowly rose to the surface of the water. Ye Qing screamed as he crazily climbed up the brick mountain behind him. The phone could create such a huge commotion underwater. If he waited for it to surface, would he still be alive?
The intense electric arcs would definitely pierce through Ye Qing like candied haws.
However, Ye Qing had underestimated the phone's rising speed. Before Ye Qing could climb halfway, the phone broke out of the water with a whoosh.
Ye Qing didn't even have time to look back. He shouted, "My life is over!"
One second, two seconds, three seconds …
The expected lightning didn't come. Ye Qing, who was covered in cold sweat, looked back and almost fell off the brick mountain. That phone …
It actually …
It actually floated behind his head.
At this time, the phone had already returned to its original appearance. The 100,000 volts of electric arcs almost made Ye Qing suspect that there was something wrong with his eyes.
Ye Qing wouldn't abandon the phone unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, Ye Qing found a brick and gently touched the phone floating in the air.
There was no reaction. Ye Qing slowly bent his fingers and gently touched the phone with the back of his fingers.
If there was an electric shock, the finger muscles would spasm and contract uncontrollably away from the phone. This was a common technique used by old electricians. Ye Qing had worked with machines for many years and it had become instinctive.
When Ye Qing's fingers touched the phone, there was no electric shock or static as he expected. There was only coldness.
Ye Qing grabbed the phone. He was very curious as to why the phone would discharge electricity.
He pressed the power button. Damn, the screen lit up.
