Chapter 57: The Volcano Erupts!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Boom!” A loud sound was heard.
A person stuck his head out of the window.
His mouth, nose, eyes, and even his face were all distorted by the hurricane and the speed.
The driver’s feet trembled, and he sped up to 200 mph!
Mary took out her phone and finally got a signal and she called Herman excitedly.
She hoped that they had gone as far as possible!
There was no response on the phone, and it was cut off very quickly.
Mary looked at her phone again, and there was no signal.
“Bang!” There was another loud sound, and the world outside lit up.
The three cars could not help but stop.
Mary also got out, and she looked in the direction of the Hearth National Park behind her.
High on the mountaintop, red lava was rising like boiling water, spreading out and flowing rapidly!
Under the illumination of the flames, the thick black smoke covered the entire sky!
“Is our place safe?” Someone swallowed hard and asked in the silence.
No one knew. After all, this was one of the largest volcanoes in the world.
“Get in the car, the further the better! Mary, come to my side!”
Monroe shouted at the person who got out of the car and rearranged the seating order.
Monroe drove and Mary sat in the pa.s.senger seat.
Isidore wanted to follow Mary, but he was glared back at by the man with braids. “With Boss and us here, you don’t have to follow Miss Mary!”
Isidore hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and got into Mary’s car.
They set off again and sped up.
This time, all three cars were silent. No one dared to talk nonsense or question them.
“Bang!” There were a few loud bangs again.
m.u.f.fled sounds rolled over from the other side of the sky.
Mary’s heart was a mess.
She thought about the people in the Hearth National Park. Did they evacuate immediately?
Was there a shelter in the area?
What about the animals that couldn’t be moved in time?
There was also Rock Town behind them. They didn’t know if it would affect them.
The cars kept going forward.
Gradually, the number of cars increased, and the speed of the cars had to slow down.
Then, the cars stopped in the middle of the traffic jam.
Someone went down to find out the situation and said, “Boss, we can’t go forward. I heard that there was a series of car accidents ten kilometers away. Now that the front and back are blocked, the rescue team definitely won’t be able to get to this place!”
Mary and the others were in an awkward position.
On the left was a mountain, and on the right was a cliff.
It was almost dawn.
Mary looked at her surroundings and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She took out her phone and opened the compa.s.s. She finally noticed the problem.
“Monroe, the direction we’re going back to New York… seems to be in the other way!”
Everyone looked at her in disbelief.
Until everyone opened their compa.s.s.
What the *ck! Were we really going the other way?
What is this place?
Everyone was a little dazed.
Someone said, “We saw the news and knew that someone would come to pick us up. So now… aren’t we completely out of contact?”
Everyone fell silent.
Monroe said, “Cheer up. We still don’t know what the situation is like, but we’re on a mountain path now. We want to be safer than the people on the flat ground.”
After confirming everyone’s current location, they had to take a long detour to get back to New York.
In other words, they had to use the volcano as their center, and then drive in a circle around it to return within a safe range.
“Everyone! Gather supplies and take stock of what we have. Also, send someone to watch the signal grid. Once there’s a signal, contact someone and get them to send a helicopter to come and meet us.”
After Monroe gave a simple explanation of these two things, he looked down at Mary and said gently, “Mary, keep contacting them.”
Mary nodded calmly. “Okay! If nothing happened to them, they should be arriving in New York soon.”
