Just as everyone thought an accident would happen, an unbelievable scene took place.
Instead of a collision between the huge truck and Cheng Nuo, Cheng Nuo had managed to turn his bicycle to the same angle as the truck by using his precise calculations. He was at a location where the truck was unable to hit him. To be precise, he was less than five centimeters away from the truck.
Of course, Cheng Nuo was unable to completely escape unscathed like that.
The speed of the truck would cause the air currents around it to increase in speed. Similarly, the air pressure around the truck would decrease. The powerful pressure would cause the objects near the truck to move towards it. A phenomenon similar to this could be seen in draughts. With such a close distance, the powerful air pressure might cause Cheng Nuo to touch the side of the truck.
However… Cheng Nuo had calculated this long ago.
Cheng Nuo purposely turned his bicycle to an angle so that the pressure could “turn his bicycle upright”, instead of putting him in danger.
From the onlookers’ point of view, Cheng Nuo seemed to have predicted the truck’s path as both the bicycle and truck were parallel all along.
The speed of the truck was much faster than Cheng Nuo’s bicycle. After about three seconds, the back of the truck had passed by the front of the bicycle. Cheng Nuo had escaped unscathed.
The onlookers heaved a sigh of relief.
Initially, they thought the child on the bicycle would die. Some of them were even prepared to call 1201. However, they did not expect the child to be so lucky and be missed by the truck! The child was really lucky!
That was right! Everyone thought that Cheng Nuo had not gotten knocked down by the truck due to pure luck. Perhaps Cheng Nuo was not meant to die!
Nobody would believe Cheng Nuo if he said that he had prevented the accident by using his calculation skills.
That was because… it was too shocking and unbelievable.
Of course, Cheng Nuo did not plan to reveal it. It would be best if he kept this to himself.
“Child, are you alright?” a middle-aged woman who was riding a motorbike asked Cheng Nuo, who was stunned in the middle of the road.
The dangerous scene caused everyone who was about to cross the road to be stunned. Even though the light was green now, the drivers forgot to move. Only Cheng Nuo was rooted to the ground in the middle of the empty junction.
After feeling happy about surviving the disaster, Cheng Nuo was struck by reality when the middle-aged woman shouted at him.
Cheng Nuo touched his rapidly pumping heart and smiled. “I am alright.”
“That’s good to hear. I thought you would be stunned because you have never experienced this before.” The woman was straightforward. She went to Cheng Nuo, looked at him, and patted his shoulder after seeing that he was not hurt.
Cheng Nuo smiled.
Meanwhile, the truck that had almost caused Cheng Nuo to die stopped after about 20 meters.
The door of the truck opened and a middle-aged man with a mustache and a gray cap rushed out of the truck.
Although the weather was not hot, the driver was covered in sweat. It was caused by nervousness.
