Of course, Wei Xiaoqing didn't know, because Zhou Xuan was pulling her along at breakneck speed. Running so fast, she hadn't noticed the changes in her footing, but she still remembered almost falling. She was just wondering why it wasn't slippery anymore.
Perhaps it's because they run fast.
The police officers behind them were puzzled. How could the two of them run so fast when the surface was so slippery? Could it be that they had mistaken Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu for someone else who was just trying to escape?
After Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu ran past, only clear footprints remained on the ground. It was as if their feet were radiating heat, melting the frost with every step. However, they couldn't follow the footprints; only by stepping completely into them could they avoid slipping. If they only stepped into part of the footprints, leaving the rest in the frost, they would still fall. So they could only watch helplessly as Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu ran away before their eyes, quickly disappearing around the bend. Zhou Xuan dragged Wei Xiaoyu along, running non-stop. It was at this moment that Wei Xiaoyu truly felt Zhou Xuan's strong and reassuring presence!
To be honest, Wei Xiaoyu never thought any man would protect her, nor did she need any man's protection. But Zhou Xuan now gave her the feeling that he was protecting her, and she felt like a little woman with thoughts and ideas she had never had before. Wei Xiaoyu even blushed and secretly glanced at Zhou Xuan. But Zhou Xuan looked anxious and didn't notice her at all.
Finally arriving at the accident scene, the rescuers were in a chaotic frenzy, each acting independently without any oversight. However, those who could be rescued were rescued, and those who couldn't were left helpless, only able to silently watch as the injured inside the car cried for help.
In this state, even large rescue vehicles cannot arrive, and even if they do, they will not arrive quickly. Approximately fourteen or fifteen vehicles have collided in succession, with the front and rear of the vehicles indistinguishable, and both large and small vehicles are completely wrecked.
The injured who were rescued were those who were hit less severely near the side or rear of the vehicle. Those who were hit more severely in the middle could not be rescued at all. The injured were trapped inside the vehicle, and some had even died at the time of the accident!
Amidst cries and shouts, Zhou Xuan ran to the side. Everywhere was a chaotic crowd. Even with someone directing them, there was no way to get the injured out without heavy equipment!
Wei Xiaoyu could tell at a glance that even if they arrived, they could only wait; they couldn't save these injured people with their bare hands!
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, then activated his ice energy to search for the surviving wounded in the vehicles. At this moment, his eyes were red and his blood was boiling. He didn't care if anyone noticed; he just wanted to save people!
The ice-cold air search led them to a Toyota car very close by, its front and rear mangled beyond recognition. Inside were four people. The driver was dead, and in the passenger seat was a girl of about twelve or thirteen. Thanks to the boy's protective gear, she was still alive, but the front of the car was severely deformed, and she was lying at an angle, her face covered in blood. Her right hand was pressed against the shattered window. She was alive, but unable to speak. Among the people rescuing her outside the car were a uniformed policeman and two doctors in white coats. The car door was also badly damaged; even if they smashed all the windows, they couldn't get the girl out. They could only administer intravenous fluids to keep her alive while waiting for rescue.
It was freezing outside. The female doctor held the IV drip bottle high in the air, her hands turning purple with cold. Tears welled in her eyes as she said, "Little sister, hang in there. The uncles will be here with their tools soon. Just... just hang in there a little longer, it'll be over soon."
The female doctor spoke through tears, not knowing when the rescue vehicle would arrive. Road 16 was winding and narrow, already congested with so many cars; how could a large truck get through? And if a large truck didn't come, how could they move these deformed vehicles?
At this point, Zhou Xuan didn't care about anything else. He let go of Wei Xiaoyu, rushed to the front of the car, and said to the people around the hood, "Step back, let me handle this!"
The female doctor stepped aside slightly. But the male doctor and the policeman frowned. The male doctor said, "We can't force it; the little girl is very weak right now. We have to remove it without any impact. Even the slightest movement will..."
Zhou Xuan bent down and squeezed forward, saying, "I know, I'm a doctor!"
The policeman was also taken aback. He stepped aside, and Wei Xiaoyu followed. Seeing Zhou Xuan bent down near the shattered front window of the car, she couldn't help but whisper, "Zhou, we all feel the same way. We can't save them now. We can only wait!"
Zhou Xuan didn't answer. He first reached out and cleaned the broken glass from the car window, then looked at the car door. It was severely deformed, crushed to the car body, and impossible to move. The little girl's face and hands were right in front of him, her face smeared with blood, her eyes slightly open.
Zhou Xuan felt a pang of pain in his heart and gently took her hand. "I'll channel the ice energy into her body." The girl had no external injuries, except for a cut more than an inch long on her head. She was otherwise unharmed, but the impact of the car crash had broken three of her ribs, one of which had pierced her lung. There was a lot of blood in her chest; this injury was quite serious.
Zhou Xuan immediately used his icy energy to convert and absorb the blood in the little girl's chest, and then healed most of her injuries. However, the broken ribs needed to be set at the hospital.
The syringe in the little girl's right hand trembled slightly, and drops of liquid dripped down. Suddenly, the girl's eyes widened, and she said in a trembling voice, "Uncle... Uncle... save me... save my mother... brother."
From the initial IV treatment until the little girl hadn't uttered a sound, her sudden outburst surprised the police officer and doctor nearby. They all leaned closer and asked, "How is she?"
Zhou Xuan reached out and gently took the little girl's hand, then said, "Little sister, don't worry, uncle will rescue you, and he will also rescue your mother and brother, trust me!"
The little girl couldn't move her body or head, but her eyes were much brighter.
Zhou Xuan released the little girl's hand, glanced at the car window, and then secretly channeled his icy energy to transform and absorb several tightly stuck and crucial parts. He then pulled with both hands and "snap" the car door was pulled off!
Behind them were Wei Xiaoyu and the policeman. The two doctors, male and female, were both taken aback. The policeman and the male doctor had struggled a lot to open the door, but Zhou Xuan had just pulled it open with a light touch, as if he hadn't used any force at all!
Volume 1, Chapter 239: Uncle, Save Me
Erran Zhou Fu managed to pull Zhuo Men down, but with the severely deformed car door signs, no one could come, not even the skinny little girl.
The car was badly damaged in both the front and rear. The two rear doors were impossible to open, and the car body was twisted and contorted from both ends towards the middle. The people in the back seats seemed to be silent, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Zhou Xuan glanced at the little girl's large body and estimated the space needed at the car door. He reached out and bent the twisted part, then examined it. He realized he couldn't open it with his own strength; it weighed several kilograms. He was also watching closely, and it wouldn't be convenient to use ice energy to absorb the whole thing directly.
But Zhou Xuan could transform and absorb the material from the inside, in a place unseen from the outside, creating a thin ring on the outside of the piece of the carriage he was holding. Then, with a forceful pull, he tore it off immediately. To the astonishment of the onlookers, Zhou Xuan gently lifted the little girl out.
After a moment of stunned silence, the policeman and the two doctors couldn't help but applaud. But they quickly found a stretcher and put the little girl on it. At the scene, there were many injured people among the wrecked vehicles, but there were no tools available to open them. There were many people, but they couldn't be rescued. Many people were gathered around each vehicle, trying to pry, pull, lift, and yank, but how could human strength compare to mechanical power? Even if the vehicles were deformed, they were still made of steel, and even if they were deformed, human strength couldn't open them.
As the stretcher bearers were about to leave, the little girl on the stretcher suddenly reached out her hand to Zhou Xuan and called out, "Uncle!"
Zhou An was considering which direction to open the back door from when he didn't hear the little girl's cry. Wei Xiaoyu gently tugged at his sleeve.
Zhou Xuan looked at her in surprise, only to see Wei Xiaoyu pointing to the stretcher behind her!
Seeing the little girl's sad and frightened expression on the stretcher, and her outstretched little hand covered in blood, Zhou Xuan felt a pang of heartache and quickly turned around to go over.
When Zhou Xuan reached the stretcher, he simply reached out and took the little girl's hand. The little girl's nostrils twitched a couple of times, and then tears streamed down her face as she gripped Zhou Xuan's hand tightly.
Zhou Xuan gently stroked the little girl's head with his other hand, then lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Little sister, don't worry, uncle will definitely rescue your mother and brother!"
It's estimated that this car belonged to their family, but the male driver in front of the little girl was probably her father. However, he was already dead. The little girl was probably twelve or thirteen years old, and she understood. Although tears were streaming down her face, she knew that her father was gone!
Zhou Xuan gently took out his hand and lightly stroked the little girl's head before turning back to the car. He had already activated his icy aura and detected a woman in her thirties and a boy of about seven or eight years old in the back seat. The woman was seriously injured, but the boy was mostly unharmed. The woman had pushed the boy into the space under the seat. Although the car had been badly damaged, the space under the chassis was actually the weakest point subjected to external force. So, this mother protected her son but was seriously injured herself. She was now almost unconscious and had no feeling. However, Zhou Xuan detected that the woman was alive, but if he didn't get her out and treat her quickly, she would have a hard time surviving in such cold temperatures.
Getting her out wasn't difficult, but fully recovering from her injuries would be more challenging. Zhou Xuan examined the injured people in the nearby vehicles and found that they were all seriously injured. If they were to recover, his icy energy might not be enough to completely rescue them. After considering it for a moment, he decided to proceed.
Zhou Xuan decided to prioritize rescuing the injured, using ice energy for treatment as a secondary measure. He would focus on treating the most seriously injured and those in grave danger, conserving ice energy to rescue them from peril.
The little girl had already been lifted into the ambulance and taken away. The two doctors and the policeman turned around to help, but the people next to the vehicles were trying to pry open the broken car doors and windows, but they couldn't. However, Zhou Xuan had just successfully rescued the little girl. The three people, including Wei Xiaoyu, were very puzzled. Had they missed this place that could be pried open, or was Zhou Xuan stronger?
While Zhou Xuan was interrogating on one side, the policeman and the male doctor were trying to pry open another door on the other side. However, the door was deformed and stuck tightly, making it impossible to open. The car window was bent halfway, and the glass was shattered into cracks, but it did not break or fall down. Given the width of the car window, it was impossible to get anyone out through this opening, not even the little girl from before.
Zhou Xuan first tried to pry open the car door with his hand. The handle was broken. The ice energy also detected that the two latches on the car door were bent, and there were four other places that were stuck due to the twisting caused by the impact.
Previously, the police, the doctor, and even Wei Xiaoyu had all tried, but they couldn't pull it open or pry it open. They could only wait for the utility vehicle to come and saw the car open before taking the person out.
Just now, Zhou Xuan rescued the little girl. Although surprised, most people still thought that Zhou Xuan had just happened to rescue the little girl by chance, and that it was unlikely to happen again.
Zhou Xuan tried to pull the car door open, but it wouldn't budge. Wei Xiaoyu and the female doctor next to him didn't notice either. Because it was so cold, snowflakes were still falling. They had just been holding up the IV bottle to give the little girl first aid with their bare hands, and their hands were almost frozen. They were just breathing on their hands to warm them up, and they didn't pay any special attention to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan first pulled on it, but it wouldn't open. In fact, it didn't budge an inch. Wei Xiaoyu was about to say it couldn't be opened when, unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan suddenly yanked the car door off with a "whoosh."
