"What is it?" Yue Shui pressed.
Just as Matsuda was about to answer, he suddenly felt the road shake violently.
"What happened?" Matsuda asked in surprise.
"Officer Matsuda, it looks like an earthquake!" Koshimizu pointed to the forests on both sides of the road.
The entire mountain range, along with the forests and trees on it, began to sway and shake as if dancing!
"Why did an earthquake have to happen at this time!"
Matsuda cursed angrily. While keeping an eye on the falling rocks and soil from the mountain, he increased the speed of the car, wanting to get out of the earthquake zone as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, Yue Shui suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Officer Matsuda, watch out ahead!"
Matsuda saw it too, probably because of the previous earthquake.
A huge pine tree was uprooted and landed right in the middle of the road.
Matsuda hurriedly stepped on the gas, and the red Mercedes finally stopped when it was less than a meter away from the pine tree.
"Get out of the car! Find an open space to hide! If there's a landslide or mudslide, we're doomed if we get trapped inside the car!"
Matsuda unbuckled his seatbelt and had just said a sentence to Koshimizu when he heard a splashing sound.
He looked out the window and saw large swathes of earth and rocks, like flowing water, mixed with bushes and shrubs, rapidly sliding down the hillside.
Hey!
Matsuda cursed under his breath.
He only had time to push Yue Shui down and shield her with his body before the entire car suddenly went dark, and he could see nothing at all.
All around, there was the sound of earth and rocks rolling down.
From time to time, the car's roof and walls emitted creaking sounds of metal deformation.
Beneath Matsuda, a terrified Koshimizu also screamed.
The Mercedes was also pushed by the sliding dirt and rocks, and Matsuda didn't know how far the car had slid.
He only vaguely felt that about three minutes had passed.
The sounds of earth and rocks rolling down finally subsided.
The Mercedes-Benz had stopped rolling.
It must be said that although the body of this red Mercedes was severely deformed, at least it was not broken.
If it were a car made in Japan, it would probably have fallen to pieces under such an impact.
In the pitch black, Yue Shui continued to scream.
"Are you OK?"
As Matsuda asked, he reached into the darkness and groped around.
He wanted to check if she was hurt. Yue Shui's scream stopped abruptly, replaced by a shout of embarrassment and anger.
"Officer Matsuda, you..."
"...Sorry!" Matsuda quickly withdrew his hand.
“I just wanted to see if you were hurt…” Matsuda explained.
"I know……"
Yue Shui responded softly.
Matsuda immediately felt her hand reach up and touch his face.
"Officer Matsuda, are you alright?" Koshimizu asked worriedly.
When the landslide happened, she didn't even have time to react before Matsuda pinned her down.
Now Yue Shui is certain that she herself has no injuries whatsoever.
But the situation with Matsuda, who was blocking her way, was a bit hard to describe.
"Don't worry, I'm fine,"
As soon as Matsuda finished answering, he felt a slightly cold little hand touch his back.
"Officer Matsuda, your back..."
Yue Shui's hand quickly touched some damp areas.
She rubbed it between her fingers and immediately exclaimed in alarm, "Officer Matsuda, your back is bleeding!"
"It's nothing, just some minor injuries,"
Matsuda was telling the truth; although he could feel some scratches on his back from the deformed parts of the car,
However, with the system-modified body of a green zombie, this minor injury will heal automatically in no time.
After all, he had no problem drinking lemon tea with sodium hydroxide added before, so these minor injuries would be even less of a concern.
Matsuda himself knew all of this.
Koshimizu, however, was unaware of this. She reached out and ran her hand over Matsuda's back.
It was quickly determined that Matsuda had been injured in more than one place!
His entire back was sticky, likely covered in wounds and bruises.
"Officer Matsuda..."
Yue Shui's eyes were red as she gritted her teeth. These were injuries she had sustained while protecting her.
She tried several times to crawl out from under Matsuda so she could treat the wound on his back.
The car was completely deformed from the impact of the previous mudslide. The fact that the two people weren't crushed in their current location is incredibly lucky.
There's no room left for her to move around freely.
Chapter 86 Earthquake
"You...you'd better not move!" Matsuda was a little out of breath.
His injuries are indeed fine, but if this girl continues to move around, other parts of his body might get hurt.
"Officer Matsuda, I have an idea."
Suddenly, the sound of fabric being torn rang out in the dark space.
"Koshimizu, what are you doing?" Matsuda exclaimed in surprise.
"Officer Matsuda...you, you close your eyes!"
Yue Shui's voice was somewhat shy, but she continued what she was doing.
In fact, given the current environment inside the car, even if Matsuda opened his eyes wide, he wouldn't be able to see anything at all.
Soon, Yue Shui completely tore open the long-sleeved shirt inside her coat and ripped it off.
"Officer Matsuda, just bear with it!"
After giving a reminder, Koshimizu lay down beneath Matsuda, rubbing his hands in the darkness, and used his own shirt to carefully bandage Matsuda's wounds.
A quarter of an hour later,
"……alright!"
Koshimizu reached out and touched it again, and only after confirming that Matsuda's back wound was almost completely covered by the cloth did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
She had just had something urgent to attend to, but now that she had some free time, looking at the dark space around her, Yue Shui, despite her usual androgynous style,
But being a girl after all, she couldn't help but feel afraid.
"Officer Matsuda, do you think we'll just stay buried under this mudslide forever?" Koshimizu asked in a trembling voice.
"Don't worry, have you forgotten the car following behind? They'll definitely call for help," Matsuda reassured him.
"Will they? What if they think that once we're dead, nothing will be found out..." Yue Shui said worriedly.
"That Inspector Daimon shouldn't be that stupid, right?" Matsuda was also a little unsure.
……
Outside, after the landslides caused by the earthquake had stopped, the van was parked on the broken roadside.
Meanwhile, the gatekeeper, accompanied by two of his men, was also watching the slid-down earth and rocks below, their expressions filled with struggle.
"Inspector, if we delay any longer, those two might be killed. We should..."
Just as Takeshita opened his mouth, Arai grabbed him from the side.
Arai winked at his friend, signaling him to keep quiet.
The police inspector at the gate took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, but didn't light it for a long time.
He was indeed hesitant, wondering whether to save her or not.
After hesitating for a few minutes, he took out his phone. Seeing this, Takeshita and Arai both breathed a sigh of relief.
Inspector Daimon also noticed the change in his two subordinates' expressions.
Sure enough, it was impossible for just the two of them to keep this a secret.
The maid at the lavender villa who jumped into the sea, although it was due to police interrogation, could also be considered an accident.
After all, no one expected a girl in her early twenties to be so resolute.
But the scene before my eyes was different.
To save or not to save is to challenge the bottom line of one's moral conscience.
Inspector Daimon had absolutely no confidence that he could get these two to keep his secret.
Matsuda Jinpei, who is now buried underneath, was, after all, a well-known police officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.
If he dies in Kochi, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will definitely investigate.
And the Tokyo media will get wind of it. If those two subordinates can't handle it and reveal what happened today,
