A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky and lit up the room.
His voice was still there, and he didn't know when it would sweep over. The noise in the room was no longer the same. Everyone found their own place to nest, and a girl was sobbing carefully.
Alex used his phone to call Sara. Sara's hand quickly sprinkled the powder on Kenzie's head. The effect of the powder was very good, and the blood immediately stopped flowing.
Because the environment did not allow it, Sara did not clean it up for her. Instead, she took out a bandage and wrapped it around her head.
Kenzie stared at her, "What do you mean?! I don't need you to pretend to be kind!"
Sara said seriously, "If you don't stop bleeding, you will die."
Kenzie gritted her teeth, "What does it have to do with you whether I die or not?!"
Sara put away her things and slowly said, "If you die, you won't be able to accept your punishment. Won't I suffer great losses?"
As soon as she finished her words, Alex tied her up with a rope and said, "I suggest you speak less. Did you see that? Everyone here hates you so much. If you keep talking, no one can be sure if they will come up and beat you up."
Kenzie struggled with all her might, but it was of no use. Alex was tied very tightly and it was not something that she could struggle to free herself from.
Sara stood up and gave a small yawn. It was already past one o'clock in the evening. Usually, she would have fallen asleep. But now, everyone's lives were threatened, and no one could fall asleep.
Not far away, Oliver and Jaelyn were also tied up by five flowers. They were no longer struggling and leaned against the corner of the wall as if resigned to fate. Alex handed her an apple. "Eat."
Sara was surprised and asked, "Where did you get this?" The things in the room had been taken away by others.
Alex said, "Take it quietly. Let's eat."
Sara shook her head. "I'm not hungry, you eat... I didn't lie to you. I'm really not hungry. When they interviewed me before, I've been eating snacks all the time."
When Alex heard this, he did not force it. However, he did not eat it either. No one knew if this apple would become the last straw to save his life.
Sara rubbed her eyes and leaned on Alex's shoulder. She was just about to squint when she heard a rumbling sound in the sky. Sara suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Alex, listen-"
Alex narrowed his eyes. "The sound of a helicopter."
Sara immediately stood up and looked at the window. The rain had become much lighter. She could barely see the sky clearly, and she could vaguely see a few helicopters.
Sara's eyes lit up. "... Reinforcements are here!"
Just at the moment when she finished her words, everyone in the room seemed to be pumped up. They rushed out of the room one after another, wanting to be taken away by the first-hand rescue.
Sara looked at the empty room in an instant and said, "..."
Alex guffawed and said, "Are you silly?"
Sara said, "When I saw them before, I thought they didn't have the strength to eat dinner. I didn't expect them to be so strong."
Alex said, "It's normal. In this case, everyone wants to be the first to leave. Let's go out too."
Sara nodded.
Outside the restaurant, there was a small courtyard with two or three tables. Originally, they were quite romantic, but now when they looked out, they could see the mountain torrent not far away, which had reached a high position. If the rain didn't stop, it would flood in a few hours.
Everyone was so scared that they ran to the yard, regardless of whether they were wet. Some of them even stood on the table and called for help.
More than 50 members of the association, including the original guests of the restaurant, crowded the small courtyard.
Sara did not go out, just standing by the door, watching the helicopter approaching-
There was no place that could be stopped here, so they could only place the life-saving ladder down.
One person got off the helicopter and shouted with a megaphone, "Everyone is quiet! Don't panic! We will save everyone here! Please line up and let the old man, women, and children go first!"
All the people quickly lined up.
However, the life-saving ladder had not been lowered for a long time. Everyone was anxious. "What's going on? Why haven't you put the ladder down yet?!"
"That's right! It's safe if you leave earlier! Which team are you from? It's so dragy!"
However, the man replied, "We are under the jurisdiction of Commander Selmy of the military region!"
Alex: "..."
Sara looked at him and said, "It's your family."
Alex said with no expression, "I can't believe that the old man suddenly cares about me so much."
Sara said, "Grandpa Selmy is always concerned about you."
As soon as she finished her words, the lifesaver shouted again, "Miss Martin! Miss Martin! Are you there?!"
Sara?
Sara asked, "Are you calling me again?"
Before she could react, she heard a woman shouting, "Here! Here!"
The woman pushed the crowd aside and came up to the lifesaver. " Can I go first?!"
The boy looked at the beautifully dressed woman who had become a drenched chicken because of getting wet in the rain. She immediately frowned and said, "I'm talking about Sara!"
The woman immediately got angry. "Why are you looking for her?! We have so many people here. Why should you let her go first?
He completely forgot the excitement of thinking that he could leave first.
The lifesaver did not give a face at all. "This has nothing to do with you." He shouted again, "Miss Martin! Are you here?!"
After Sara confirmed that there was no second person whose Name is Sara, she finally shook the flashlight in her hand and said, "I'm here."
The boy saw that she was at the right age and immediately came over. She whispered, "Miss Martin, I finally found you. I'm waiting for you on the helicopter."
Sara was stunned.
Hank?
She immediately looked up, but she could only see the helicopter that was making noise.
The lifesaver said, "Please."
Sara nodded.
Alex: "What?"
"Didn't we agree that we'll be part of the Selmy family? Why don't the young master of the Selmy family come here and get to know me?"
Sara didn't climb the lifesaver, but fortunately, the lifesaver put the seat belt on her. She had been holding on to her from the back, so it wasn't too difficult.
In order to accommodate her, the helicopter was also very low. Sara soon reached the end of the aircraft's cabin. The door of the cabin was opened, and the man stuck out half of his body. With a firm and powerful arm, he grabbed her waist and lifted her up with almost no effort and brought her into the cabin.
Sara was still in shock. "... It scared me to death!"
"Uncle won't let anything happen to you." The man's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a bit of fatigue and indescribable emotions. He tightly hugged Sara into his bosom. "You're there alone, aren't you scared?"
Sara only felt that her bones were going to be strangled off by him.
