Chapter 60 - The Earthquake
Chapter 60: The Earthquake
+
There was an earthquake.
The wind whistled.
All of a sudden, all the cars in the driveway were like boats floating on the sea. The ground rose in waves!
Monroe turned the steering wheel and the car drove out of the driveway and headed to a flat area ahead!
The two cars following behind them did not have time to react. They were squeezed together with the other cars!
The men in black in Mary’s car turned around and shouted, “Hurry Up! Hurry up! Come out quickly!”
Mary turned her head to look at the mountain they had just driven away from.
The trees on it swayed violently along with the whole mountain, like scarecrows dancing in the wind.
Suddenly, she seemed to see something falling down!
Mary rubbed her eyes, her throat seemed to be strangled so hard that she could not make a sound.
After two seconds, Mary finally found her voice and said, “Monroe, we might have to go faster. The mountain is going to collapse!”
There was silence in the car for two seconds, and all the burly men screamed in fear!
“I’m going to die! I’m going to die here today!”
“Is Heaven going to destroy our Raging Flame Group?!”
“Boss! If I die, please help take care of my wife and children!”
“I’m so scared, I don’t want to die, sob…”
“They haven’t caught up with us yet, will they all be smashed to death?”
“You might be smashed to death too!”
The chattering in the car suddenly quieted down for two seconds.
Two seconds later, the burly men started shouting again.
The veins on Monroe’s forehead bulged, and his hand that was holding the steering wheel turned fiercely!
He finally let out an angry roar. “Shut the f*ck up! If you’re going to embarrass me, get out of the car and walk back to New York!”
Monroe was furious, and no one dared to complain.
Everyone was holding back their fear of death, but their eyes and hands were shaking.
Some kept looking behind them, some covered their heads and buried their heads in their hands.
Some hugged each, and some had blank eyes.
But at last, there was silence.
Mary was also very nervous. She had one hand hanging from the passenger’s ring and the other on her knee.
A strong man behind her suddenly whispered to her, “Miss Mary, aren’t you afraid? I heard that you’re only 19 years old, only one or two years older than my daughter. How can you be so calm?”
Mary was calm. She didn’t look like someone her age should be.
Mary took a deep breath and looked ahead helplessly. “I’m afraid too. I just don’t show it.”
Who wasn’t afraid of death?
Mary was like an ordinary person, but she wasn’t used to exposing and magnifying her fear.
Suddenly, she realized, “It seems like the earthquake has stopped!”
The cars on the road in the distance were already tottering. Many people had to abandon their cars and run away from the mountain.
Some big rocks had rolled down the foot of the mountain and smashed the nearest cars into pieces!
They had blocked the motionless mountain path before, but where they couldn’t see, the entire mountain had already been buried. In the end, even the cars and the mountain had been buried.
Their lives had been taken away in an instant, and death was right in front of them.
Mary and the others had already reached a safe zone. There were flat areas on all sides.
Monroe slowly stopped the car, and everyone got out and looked into the distance.
The big rocks kept falling from the mountain, hitting the people who were still running.
Screams!
Cries!
Tragic!
It was tragic!
For a moment, the men’s eyes were red, and they rolled up their sleeves, wanting to go to the rescue.
Monroe looked at them. “You can go if you want, but you have to take care of your own safety first. Wait until the rocks stop falling!”
Everyone was instantly discouraged and dropped their shoulders.
After all, they were all family members, and in the face of natural disasters, they were powerless to resist.
So, they hesitated for a moment and waited for a few more minutes.
