Chapter 135 Falling Objects from High Altitudes
Sam leaned slightly against the driver's side door, waiting for the green light, when suddenly a chill ran down his spine. He seemed to sense danger approaching and instinctively turned to look in the side mirror.
A red truck was seen hurtling towards his car at an extremely high speed, showing no signs of slowing down at all.
His car was sandwiched between a truck and a Carter's car, with nowhere to hide.
When the truck crashes into them, they'll be completely encased in iron.
Something is clearly wrong; it must be a design by the Grim Reaper.
Sam immediately stuck his head out of the window and shouted for help to Li Qing.
"Help! Help us, Mr. Li Qing!"
The shout startled the people in the car.
Inside the Caterpillar car ahead, Li Qing remained calm despite hearing Sam's shouts; he was just waiting for Death to make his move.
Li Qing even wished that the Grim Reaper would strike more often each day, so that his mission could be completed faster.
Li Qing watched the oncoming truck with his divine sense and revealed a disdainful smile. Did they think they could kill someone with such a simple car accident?
Death has seriously underestimated him!
A surge of psychic power materialized into a giant hand, directly causing the truck traveling in a straight line to veer off course.
The truck grazed Sam's car and crashed into a roadside utility pole.
Sam's car only suffered minor scratches on the rear.
The truck crashed into the utility pole, severing it in half.
When the red light turned green, Li Qing woke up the dazed Carter and told him to keep driving.
Carter looked at the truck that had crashed into a roadside utility pole, thinking it was just a regular traffic accident, and took a second look with a spectator's mentality.
They had no idea that Sam's car was almost hit by a truck.
At the same time, Li Qing telepathically told Sam to follow.
Sam sat in the car, patting his chest with lingering fear. He had almost been hit by something; it was terrifying.
Alex stared wide-eyed at the truck that had just grazed past him.
What about his ability to foresee death?
Why was there no advance warning again?
Oh shit!
Now, Alex even doubts whether his ability to foresee death has disappeared.
His terrible ability was only used once, during his first time flying.
I had a premonition this morning, but the image was still incorrect.
This time, there wasn't even a premonition!
What's the point of this useless ability? It just makes me so anxious, afraid that I'll suddenly have a death premonition.
Alex was utterly speechless.
Claire, standing to the side, looked at Alex with some confusion. Wasn't Alex supposed to have the ability to foresee death?
Why didn't we see the accident footage beforehand twice?
......
The accident had nothing to do with them, and Sam was not responsible for anything; he could just drive away.
When the traffic police arrive, the responsibility will be entirely placed on the bearded driver.
Although the accident was caused by death, the bearded driver was the one who ultimately took the blame.
All I can say is that this bearded driver was unlucky; he was targeted by death and became a tool for it.
......
Carter and Sam parked their car in the parking lot of the Kennedy International Hotel and prepared to go to their hotel room with Alex and the others to retrieve their luggage.
During their entry into the hotel, Death launched another attack on Alex and his companions.
On the rooftop of the Kennedy International Hotel, a huge billboard has been neglected for years and lacks necessary maintenance.
Over time and through the erosion of wind and rain, the supports originally used to secure the billboards have become rusty and fragile, losing their original support capacity due to corrosion and posing a constant risk of breaking and falling.
This dilapidated billboard poses a significant safety hazard. If it is not repaired or replaced in a timely manner, the consequences could be disastrous in the event of severe weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
And Death took advantage of this.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the already fragile support structure, under the impact of this powerful wind, made a crisp "crack" sound and then broke completely.
A huge billboard fell from the roof of the hotel. It was eleven stories high, and it was a massive object several meters long and wide, incredibly heavy. Even a small flowerpot falling from that height could cause a tragedy and take a life.
Carter and Sam, who were behind the group, saw the fallen billboard. Although they saw Lee Sin there, they instinctively shouted loudly to Alex and the others.
"Danger! Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way, Molly!"
The two shouted and rushed over quickly.
Alex looked up and saw a huge billboard hovering steadily above their heads.
If this billboard falls for even a moment, Molly and Todd below it will be crushed into meat patties.
Li Qing easily blocked the billboard with his telekinetic power, then tossed it aside.
Seeing that the others were safe and sound, Sam breathed a sigh of relief.
Normally, the hot-tempered Carter would definitely have gone to the hotel manager to settle accounts after such an accident.
But Carter was too lazy to argue about it at this point.
It's really dangerous to be out and about these days. I only stayed at the hotel for a short time and already encountered two accidents.
If Li Qing hadn't been there, who knows how many of them would have died a violent death.
......
"What are you panicking for? I'm right here. Stay calm! Don't make a fuss. As long as you're with me, I'll protect you," Li Qing said.
"I couldn't help it, it just came out instinctively. But Death is completely unpredictable these days, one accident after another." Sam scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a smile.
“It’s not very safe to stay outside, but finding a good place can prevent most minor accidents from happening,” Claire said.
Claire did know a place far from the city, an island in the middle of a lake, where she used to go fishing with her father when she was a child.
However, the cabins on that island were a bit too small and not suitable for so many people to live together.
“It’s not that hard to choose. As long as there’s a big enough house for you all to live in, that’s fine. No matter how safe a house is, if Death wants to kill you, with Death’s power, a house alone definitely won’t stop him,” Li Qing said.
When death gets ruthless, a house really can't stop it.
It's not impossible that while you're huddled up in your room like a frightened turtle, a huge plane might suddenly crash down from the sky.
“My family does have a larger house, and it’s not far from downtown New York City. We can go there.”
Carter, a rich second-generation, owns many properties in New York, including a villa in the suburbs, which is more than enough for the nine of them to live in.
