NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: "brake failure"
"After traversing the mountainous road,we were immediately faced with a downhill section.The slope was very steep,indicating another challenging stretch ahead.Not far beyond this downhill is the village you are looking for,but for your safety,I suggest we slow down.
Oh,no,it seems the car has developed a problem.What?Wasn't it fine just now?It's the brakes;the brakes have failed.The brakes have failed?At that moment,our hearts were in our throats.What do we do now?Think of something quickly.I'm truly sorry;I didn't anticipate the car would have issues at this moment.Even if it happened on a flat road,I could do everything possible to stop the car,but this is a damned downhill road.At this point,all I can do is try to control the steering wheel to prevent you from getting hurt.I think there's no other option now...
Turn left～Dodge the car～Quick,adjust the steering wheel,there's an oncoming vehicle.Boom～As expected,despite our efforts,an accident occurred.The car collided with a pickup truck that was going uphill at that moment.The pickup truck was pushed into a shrubbery at the bottom of the slope,and our car,due to the brake failure,rolled down with it.
Wake up～Wake up～How are you feeling now,are you hurt anywhere?I'm just feeling dizzy and disoriented;I must have had a concussion.The driver and she helped me out of the car.I endured the headache and looked around,where are we now?Ah～The dizziness is overwhelming.They carried me to a flat spot and gave me some water,and I passed out again.
When I woke up again,it was pitch black outside.Hey～Is anyone there?I used the last of my strength to call out loudly.Oh,you're finally awake,do you feel better now,does your head still hurt?I feel better,I want to eat something now.Look,this is some soup made from wild vegetables we found nearby and some bread the driver didn't finish in the morning,all prepared for you,waiting for you to wake up.She handed me the food,and at that moment,I was so hungry that I devoured the bread and drank the cup of soup made from unknown wild vegetables.After filling my stomach,I began to regain my strength and stood up,looking around,I recalled the events of the day.
The driver and she had already lit a bonfire here,are we spending the night here?I don't want to be bothered by mosquitoes or wild animals.Yes,we have nowhere else to go now,although it's close to the village,it's late and venturing out to find the village could be dangerous.But where will we sleep,did you bring a tent?No one expected this to happen,and we didn't bring a tent.It seems we can only sit here for the night and wait for daylight.No,I have an idea,let's take turns resting so we can react to any situation at any time,okay,it seems we have no other choice.Oh,right,where is the pickup truck driver from earlier?He wasn't injured,just scratched,but the car seems to be unusable.We treated his wounds,and he headed towards the village.I think he went to ask for help.I hope so,good luck!
The stars in the pitch-black sky,accompanied by the moon,are gradually becoming indistinct.Let's rest early and make decisions tomorrow,let's end the night here!"
