As the largest vassal state of the Great Zhao, the Kingdom of Fusang has always maintained the same diplomatic stance as the imperial government on the international stage. According to the information obtained by Zhang Jing, the relationship between the two countries has always been relatively close. The Great Zhao has a naval port in Fusang, and the imperial family of the empire occasionally takes Fusang women as concubines, which is said to be a way to consolidate the vassal state.

Although it is called a vassal state, Fusang has strong military and economic strength overall, and therefore, it also has a certain degree of independence in culture and even politics.

Okita City is one of the largest cities in central Japan and an important port city. It is a comprehensive port city that integrates trade, commerce, tourism and industry.

Zhang Jing was standing on a hill next to the outer ring expressway of Qiutian City. These were small hills common outside Qiutian City, not very high, and the ring expressway passed through the valley between these hills.

It's a foggy day here, with thick fog everywhere. As a coastal city, this kind of weather is quite common. For most locals, it's just another normal day.

Zhang Jing narrowed his eyes, his hand constantly calculating with the Little Six Palaces Heart-Severing Technique. As he calculated, half a tortoise shell floated in front of him, slowly rotating along with it…

After a while, Zhang Jing put away the tortoise shell. Through divination, he further understood that the target he was looking for should be in the southeast, not far from here.

This is a new method that Zhang Jing tried to combine with the wishing book. After making a wish, he used divination to further determine the specific location of the things he needed.

Zhang Jing had previously tried to use divination to find out the specifics of the "side effects" of the wish book, but he failed. Afterwards, Zhang Jing reflected that it was probably because the "side effects" were a form of test, and some force obscured the correct implementation of the divination. This time, however, he succeeded.

Zhang Jing moved swiftly through the forest in the mountains, occasionally stopping to perform further divination to adjust his location. Soon, he discovered some unusual phenomena.

After traveling quickly for more than ten kilometers through the mountains, he approached the highway again and then discovered a huge traffic jam on the highway ahead.

A strong smell of burning mixture of various substances reached his nose, and he had a vague guess in his mind. Zhang Jing continued to walk forward quickly. After walking several hundred meters, the smell became stronger and stronger. Soon, he saw a multi-vehicle collision at the end of the traffic jam ahead.

Approximately five vehicles collided with each other, three of which were large vehicles. Among the large vehicles, two were heavy-duty trucks, one was a long-distance bus used for short-distance intercity transport, and the other two were a sedan and one whose vehicle type was even unidentifiable.

The collision likely caused a fire; three of the vehicles were charred, while others were still slightly ablaze. After a brief observation, Zhang Jing guessed what had happened.

The sequence of events in the accident was as follows: the car at the front was a family sedan, which was clearly rear-ended. The entire trunk was dented by the impact. At the same time, due to the huge impact from behind, the car was smashed through the guardrails on both sides of the highway and went straight up the hillside, where it got stuck.

The second vehicle was a heavy truck. At this point, the two trucks had completely crossed over and were blocking the entire three-lane highway in the middle of the road.

The third, fourth, and fifth vehicles collided with the second vehicle in succession. The third vehicle was the most severely damaged, completely sandwiched between the two large trucks, turning into a "sandwich." This impact caused the third vehicle to catch fire, which then ignited the second, third, and fourth vehicles. The last vehicle, the fifth, was a large bus. Presumably, the driver swerved sharply during the final collision, causing the bus to crash through the guardrail after the right side of the driver's compartment collapsed, thus avoiding further fire.

According to Zhang Jing, the situation on the road was roughly as follows: the first car braked suddenly or stopped for some reason, and due to the fog, the truck behind it didn't see it or had time to react, resulting in a rear-end collision. The third and fourth cars were obviously behind the second car at the time, and thus also caused a chain-reaction collision. The worst off was the third car, because it was a small car, sandwiched between the two large trucks in front and behind. In particular, the car in front, perhaps to avoid a rear-end collision, may have swerved the steering wheel sharply, causing the entire car to turn sideways, completely blocking any possibility for the car behind to avoid it. As a result, the car, sandwiched between the two large trucks, was completely crushed.

The bus following at the back also collided with the other bus because it was unable to avoid the collision. However, it managed to avoid the collision to some extent and thus remained in relatively good condition.

By this time, a number of drivers had gathered at the accident scene, mostly those who had been blocked from the road, and some of them were also helping with the on-site rescue.
