Chapter 143 With Human Labor (2/2)
His reaction impressed Li Du, and he said, ”Hey man, you’re really a kind and chivalrous person. My impression of you is starting to change.”
Hans, annoyed, said, ”Kind and chivalrous my a*s, this is a good chance of you to win some affection points with Sophie. She needs your help now, so regardless of whether you can actually provide any help or not, all you need to do is to stand by her. That will improve your relationship!”
Li Du was speechless. ”Alright, my impression of you is still the same.”
Hans was ticked off. ”What do you mean? What impression do you have of me? I’m helping you to get your girl now, isn’t this all for you?”
Li Du thought about it, and it was indeed true. Li Du put his arm around his shoulder and said, ”Right, right, my good brother Hans—my loyal brother.”
”Let’s get on the road. Which highway?”
Highway AX102 was a small, two-way highway with four lanes that traveled in and out of Flagstaff. Each direction only allowed for the size of two sedans in width. Normally, if there were any accidents, the highway would definitely be blocked.
This accident happened in the direction headed toward Flagstaff. A pickup and a Cadillac SUV had a severe collision, and then another Nissan sedan couldn’t brake in time and struck the two of them. The three cars were in a mess and blocked the road.
Their truck was driving in the direction out of Flagstaff. The traffic was smooth. Soon, they saw the scene of the accident and the ambulance that was stuck behind it.
Godzilla parked the car at the roadside, and a cop shouted over, ”Go to one side, parking is not allowed here…”
Godzilla’s large body was fully revealed after he came out, and the cop stopped talking.
Li Du crossed over the metal railings that separated the highway. Sophie, who was wearing a white doctor’s coat, recognized him immediately. Feeling a mixture of happiness and surprise, she asked, ”Hey, what’re you doing here?”
”We happened to be nearby, so we came over to see if we could help.”
Sophie, perplexed, said, ”Thank you for your kind intentions, but I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. We need a tow truck to help out, but the tow truck from the police station is in repair today, so it couldn’t come over.”
”What about a crane?”
Sophie shook her head. ”It can’t drive in—see how badly the road is blocked?”
Li Du saw the mess made by the three cars, and then saw that there was an empty space at the side. He had an idea.
Nurse Kanali stuck her head out and shouted, ”Dr. Sophie, come over! The patient’s wound has opened again! We can’t stop the bleeding—what should we do?”
Sophie couldn’t talk with Li Du anymore, and rushed back.
Li Du walked toward the accident scene. Two cops were hastily communicating with the station, asking for a tow truck to come over and clear the scene.
He said to one of the cops, ”Hey, are all three cars unable to start?”
The cop said unpleasantly, ”Of course, do I look like a fool? If they could start, why would we let them be stuck here?”
Li Du said, ”Then let’s move them manually.”
”How so?”
Li Du gestured, and Godzilla and Hans came over.
He suggested his idea to them. Godzilla spat on his hands and rubbed his palms. Hans, on the other hand, had a face full of shock. ”Sh*t, you b*stard, for your girl, you’re sacrificing your brother? Trying to move these cars with human labor? Do you know how much a Chevrolet pickup weighs?”
Li Du said, ”Cut the crap, brother. We have enough people, it’s possible to move them!”
Two cops took off their jackets to help. Some drivers that were strong enough also came over, and soon, over 20 people had gathered.
It was not due to Li Du’s leadership, but due to Godzilla’s huge frame. If it were only Li Du standing there, people would have ignored him because it would have seemed an impossible task.
But with the appearance of the monster Godzilla, the impossible had turned possible, so everyone was willing to try.
Godzilla removed his outer shirt and revealed his rock-hard muscles, his black T-shirt clinging tightly to them. A few women’s eyes widened, and some even took out their phones to snap photos.
Hans shouted, ”On my mark, gentlemen! We’ll push on the count of three. Okay, one, two, three!!!”
Godzilla roared, and began pushing the Nissan car with his shoulders to the side of the road!
