I changed the world.

Binhu West Road is a side road extending from the main road around Yunhu Lake, with Yunxia Mountain beside Yunhu Lake on one side. At this moment, a heavy-duty truck fully loaded with metal coils is driving on the road.

This is a Mountain Rock Climber heavy-duty truck, a model from about ten years ago, which looks quite old by today's standards. There are also several peeling paint marks on the body, obviously indicating that it has been in some minor accidents, but the owner may have been too lazy or wanted to save money and didn't bother to repair it.

Loud rock music was blaring in the driver's seat, and the driver, a cigarette dangling from his lips, was steering the vehicle. Long drives can easily make drivers drowsy, and rock music and smoking are common methods many drivers use to stay awake.

It was pouring rain, and visibility was very poor. Under these circumstances, the driver dared not use the semi-autonomous driving device in the car, especially since that old device from ten years ago had questionable reliability.

The driver slowed down appropriately, keeping his eyes wide open on the road ahead, and continued driving forward. However, on the mountainside to the side of the vehicle, in a place that the truck driver could not possibly notice, a fat badger was darting through the grass. The heavy rain around it made it uncomfortable, and it was eager to find a place to take shelter from the rain.

Yunxia Mountain is a basalt mountain with a large number of exposed rocks. When the sun shines on these rocks, they look like red clouds from a distance, hence the name. There are also many broken rocks scattered on the mountain.

Just as the badger was speeding forward, a round stone was triggered by its passing, causing it to lose its balance and roll down the slope. Due to the gradient, it rolled faster and faster, heading towards the road below...

Not far from the road, a large truck slowly approached, bathed in the rain. The round stone, about the size of three or four fists, bounced and tumbled down the hillside, finally landing on the road below. Due to inertia, its momentum didn't diminish, and it bounced again, tumbling and rolling towards the middle of the road...

At that very moment, a large truck also drove onto this section of road. The driver was completely unaware and did not slow down at all. The next moment, the truck's left front wheel happened to run right over the round stone that had rolled under the wheel...

The vehicle jolted violently, followed by a piercing cracking sound. Before the driver could even realize what was wrong, the vehicle went out of control, tilting sharply to the side. The massive cargo box swung sideways like a slapping hand aimed at oncoming traffic on the left...

On the way back, Zhang Jing was somewhat absent-minded. He casually turned on some light music in the car and listened to it as he drove home.

The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping. Under the headlights, all that could be seen was the continuous rain. The windshield wipers were turned up to the maximum and were swinging back and forth.

It was already late at night, and there weren't many cars on the road, so Zhang Jing drove quite fast. He turned at an intersection, drove onto Binhu West Road, and quickly picked up speed again.

This is a side road where two cars pass each other. The road surface is not very wide. On one side of the road is Yunxia Mountain, and vehicles with their headlights on pass by from time to time.
