Nicole heard nothing but a loud crash as the bullet penetrated the roof, reaching all the way to the windshield. Overwhelmed by the suddenness of it all, she was left in utter confusion.
Clearly, the van had gambled well. The black SUV, caught off guard by the vans sudden shift in targeting, was in a state of panic.
The van had gained the advantage and was no longer engaging with the black SUV. Its new target was Nicoles truck and the occupants inside.
If those abducted girls were rescued, their entire operation would be at risk!

The van pursued the truck, shooting its rifle once more. Its objective was to overturn the truck and send it plummeting off the cliff.
Nicole was petrified, her heart pounding in fear. She couldnt bring herself to look back, and her hands trembled on the wheel. The girls in the backseat wailed and screamed, unsure of when the next shot would fire.
Facing death, no one could keep their composure.
Nicole couldnt predict when the van might shoot again, so she pressed the accelerator and kept moving. Stopping would only make them an easier target.
Just as the van was about to shoot again, the black SUV sped up, overtaking the van and intercepting the bullet with its own body.
However, the situation quickly became dire. The black SUV had intercepted the bullet, but its rear seat caught fire, and the flames spread swiftly.
The van was stunned and didnt see this coming.
Unexpectedly, the driver of the black SUV seemed unfazed and pressed its flaming rear against the van.
Suddenly, a loud boom echoed.
The van lost control and rolled down the mountain, erupting in flames.
Regarding the black SUV, due to the collision with the van, even though the driver managed to brake in time, the rear end of the car had still gone over the cliffs edge, hanging precariously.

At this point, the situation was beyond the drivers control. Even without further movement, the vehicle was likely to plummet due to the ongoing momentum and the rapid spread of the fire at the back.
It appeared that those inside the black SUV were facing a grim fate, with seemingly no chance of escape.
Nicole had driven quite a distance away by now. She glanced back at the car teetering on the edge of the cliff, feeling uneasy. Although the immediate threat was over, she couldnt stand the thought of the person who had just saved them dying in such a manner.
Squeak! She slammed on the brakes, stepped out of the vehicle, and asked the girls in the backseat if any of them knew how to drive.
There were two choices now. Someone who could drive might continue to seek help, especially since they had already received assistance. It was likely that further help could be found down the road. That was almost certain.
Alternatively, they could wait here. Considering the risk of the burning vehicle exploding, she couldnt risk getting too close.
More crucially, the danger from their pursuers hadnt been fully eliminated, and they could be caught up at any moment. Thus, sending someone to find help seemed like the more dependable option.
At that moment, an older girl raised her hand and said, I I can drive.
Are you sure you can handle it? Nicole asked.
