I suddenly wasn't sleepy anymore, sat up straight, and looked around.

That's right, the car was swaying back and forth as it moved forward.

I checked again, not to mention the gas pedal or brake, I hadn't even inserted the car key into the ignition.

From the back seat came the even breathing of two girls, Li Ping was leaning against the passenger seat with his back to me, fast asleep, the woman was nowhere to be seen.

"Li Ping."

I tapped Li Ping on the back, Li Ping's head drooped weakly, a drop of blood slid down his cheek.

"Ah!"

I exclaimed, Li Ping's eyes snapped open, he sat up, and the two female classmates behind him were also startled awake at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Li Ping wiped his face, "Oh man, I'm having a nosebleed."

Trembling, I asked, "Didn't you feel the car moving?"

Several people glanced at each other and then realized, "It is moving."

"It's like someone is pushing the car forward."

At that moment, we heard footsteps outside, "pat, pat," and I stole a glance out the window. In the darkness, faint mist obscured the view, and several hunched figures clung to the car, pushing it forward.

As if sensing my gaze, they turned their heads towards me, each with a pale face, their flat mouths stretching into a smile towards their ears.

I shrank back, pressing tightly against the seat, my heart pounding wildly, unable to move a muscle.
