Chapter 661: The People Of Sichuan Thank You

Countless vehicles and people traveled night and night. Xie Ning witnessed many things along the way.

He kept on making phone calls. The communication in Chengdu City only broke down a few minutes after the earthquake started before quickly returning to normal.

He had already noticed what the driver said. He found a friend in Chengdu to help him deal with the problem.

If the goods were stopped at the highway intersection because they were overloaded, it would be a big joke.

It was fine to imagine but would definitely feel like a big joke in the end. It definitely wasn’t the sort of thing that would happen to someone as influential as Xie Ning.

“Brother Ning, there’s a TV station person conducting an interview here. It seems…they’re someone from the Provincial Capital station,” Xie Ning’s friend from Chengdu said on the phone with some difficulty.

Xie Ning’s expression did not change in the slightest. He only gently told the person when they would arrive at the Chengdu Expressway toll station.

After hanging up, Xie Ning imagined all the possible accidents that might have occurred.

Aftershocks were incessant. The large trucks that carried more than ten tons were constantly jolting. Why did the people from the Provincial Capital TV station go there instead of being at the frontline?

Was there martial law? No! His friends in Chengdu also did not mention this matter. What was going on…

As he pondered on it, Xie Ning’s cellphone let out a message notification.

Countless thoughts were being quickly pieced together in his mind as he tried to find out the truth behind the problem. Xie Ning casually opened his phone to check his text message then.

Taking a glance, Xie Ning was stunned.

“The people of Sichuan thank you for your help.” The content of the text message was very simple. Xie Ning, who had turned into a demon due to his experiences, suddenly felt that his surroundings were quiet.

The annoying rumbling sound emitted by the big truck instantly disappeared without a trace, the only sound in his ears was the thumping of his heart.

This was only the simplest of thanks. Xie Ning had heard it countless times in his life.

However, there had never been a time where he could feel such sincere gratitude behind a text message.

The voice of the text message sounded again, the operator asking for a 200 yuan fee to continue.

At the same time, the driver of the large truck also received a text message of thanks and a charge for the call.

He was also stunned.

The two men with different identities, social statuses, and life experiences both fell silent after receiving the two text messages.

The car drove very steadily, continuously moving forward in the silent night.

Soon, they arrived at the expressway toll station.

However, it was about two kilometers away still in Xie Ning’s eyes…

Countless private cars, trucks, oil tankers, and ambulances crowded outside the toll station. The ambulances were still okay as they moved slowly along the emergency lane. The other cars moved at an even slower speed.

Fck! Xie Ning sighed in his heart, opened the door, and jumped out of the truck.

As he walked forward, Xie Ning wanted to take a look at the situation on the other side.

After walking for about a hundred meters, he saw a Porsche next to him. The driver was a young man who was leaning against the door and smoking as he cursed.

“Brother, where did you come from?” Xie Ning’s gentle smile was especially infectious and gave people a sense of friendly familiarity.

The young man looked at him and said, “Hangzhou.”

“You got here so fast.” Xie Ning smiled.

The young man looked depressed. He took out a box of cigarettes and shook it at Xie Ning.

Xie Ning took one and lit it up.

“What’s the use of being fast? Who knew that even the aftershocks would be so heavy.” The young man was especially depressed. He took a deep puff of his cigarette. Seeing Xie Ning’s calm temperament, it was obvious that he was from a wealthy family. He looked at the huge vehicle with envy as he said, “Brother, you’re really fast.”

“I was close. It took us one day and night to arrive here too,” Xie Ning said as he smiled.

“After I found out what happened, I drove straight here. I only found out one after another along the way… Fck, the trunk was already filled with water. There wasn’t even a box of instant noodles.” The more he spoke, the more depressed he became. He simply vented his anger on the cigarette butt.

He took a deep puff, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stamped it out.

“How long have you been waiting?” Xie Ning asked the question that was long on his mind.

“I’ve been waiting for half an hour and the toll station in front is no longer charging. I heard that they want to tear down the toll station to make the traffic flow faster. No one expected there to be so many cars. Look over there.” The young man raised his hand and pointed at a row of oil tankers as he said, “I went to watch the show when I had nothing to do. Those oil tankers have Shaanxi license plates.”

Xie Ning smiled.

“It would be great if we could find a private ambulance. The ambulance can go through the emergency lane and drive straight in.”

“Where are we going after we enter?”

“The ambulance is going to Huaxi. I heard that the medical headquarters is located in Huaxi.” The young man spilled all the beans. “The rest are in Tianfu Square. There are also a few delivery points for supplies.”

The convoy slowly moved forward. Xie Ning and the young man chatted for a while. When they saw the big truck approaching, they bade farewell and left.

They met by chance. They did not even ask for each other’s names.

“There seems to be something wrong up ahead,” the driver said to Xie Ning. “According to my experience, with such a long traffic flow, it will take at least four to five hours to get there.”

“The toll stations are all closed. Just drive straight there,” Xie Ning said.

“That’s what I thought!” The driver slapped his thigh.

Even so, the traffic was still very slow.

It was like being on a return trip after a peak season holiday. However, the cars on this return trip came from all over the world, the many varying license plates too much to take in at once.

After almost an hour, the van Xie Ning was in finally arrived at the toll booth.

The toll booth was wide open and the cars slowly drove in.

The camera was working and a few cameramen in vests recorded the traffic flow from different angles.

When the van arrived, the cameramen were a little surprised.

There were more than twenty overloaded trucks and none of their engines sounded right at this point.

The problem of high-speed overloading had always been a problem and was not their responsibility. However, the cars that they saw there had clearly rushed over from wherever they came from. Even without the overloaded vehicles in front of them, many private cars only brought a few buckets of water before heading straight over.

This was the first time they had seen such a ‘premeditated’ overloaded convoy.

“This way, this way.” A staff member guided the overloaded convoy to a widened lane. Taking advantage, a reporter ran directly to the side of the car and extended the microphone. “Master, where did you come from?”

“Xi’an.” The driver of the large truck had never seen such a scene before. He smiled foolishly and answered, not knowing what else to do.

“Did you know that your truck is overloaded?”

“I know. My truck is loaded with purified water. It looks like a lot but it’s actually not much. It won’t be a problem if the truck is overloaded.” The driver was a little nervous.

“So much water? How did you get so much?” The reporter was also stunned.

The front of the truck was pulling two flat-panel trailers. They were covered with cloth and filled to the brim.

“We emptied one of the Carrefour warehouses. There’s more behind.” The driver smiled foolishly. Under the staff’s guidance, he slowly entered the city from a spacious driveway.
