Features: Without any signs of trouble, the days were as peaceful and ordinary as usual. The sunshine was excessively brilliant, and the construction site was bustling with activity. The mixer emitted a huge roar, while the bulldozer rumbled "rumble-rumble" as it pushed gravel and soil towards the lower areas. Dump trucks crisscrossed back and forth. Several large and small promotional signs were still standing by the side of the construction site, with slogans like "Repair the highway and contribute to the development of the western region" prominently displayed, aiming to highlight the core message and inspire people. However, a disturbance that the road workers had not anticipated was brewing in the nearby village and would soon strike the highway construction site with strong force. The disturbance was caused by a police car from the county police department.
