Chapter 506
"Nothing"
Edgar's eyes glinted, and he stepped on the accelerator harder.
Ben looked at the increasingly empty roads and slowly exhaled.He was being realistic by not writing off the second possibility.
The possibility that the people on the flight, including the crew, had met demise.
Three hours later.
There was still a little ration left in Jean's bag pack.
We haven't seen a soul! Not even an animal! What happened to those people last night?! Jean walked slowly but not slowly enough to be separated from the group.
Some people started to get impatient as they could not see an end to their walking.
"Is there no one looking for us? When will we reach the end?"
"Yeah! We haven't had a drop of water to drink"
People started grumbling; their reasoning was clouded by primal desires.
"You guys fly in and out for a living; do you not know what kind of place this is?"
The people glared at the flight attendants.
"We don't.It's hard to guess since there are no specific landmarks around us."
The passengers looked at each other and scoffed, "If this goes on, we'll probably die from exhaustion or thirst.We still have a little food left, but I bet no one has water"
There was a thump in everyone's hearts.
Jean chewed on her lip.She had emptied her bottle a while ago.
The others wouldn't carry water with them either.
Those words caused a ripple or rage through the crowd.
While everyone was bickering, they heard the sound of a Car.
"People! Over there!"
The crowd started to run toward the car, but the closer they got, the more suspicious they became.It was a car, and there were people who weren't typical citizens.
The vehicles were dark green camouflaged trucks and jeeps.
Everything around them was quiet, and they could see barbed wires in the distance.
Is this the border? Or a quarantine camp? Before the group could react, there was a helicopter hovering above them.
"Who are you? You need to leave!"
It was an army base, but they weren't Louisville's troops.
The passengers were a group of people that consisted of old and young ordinary people.
They were all exhausted, and some had even fainted from the fright.
Jean looked up at the helicopter.
I think I've seen that emblem before...
She raised her hand to block out the sun's glare.
Where though...
At Royden Residence! On Edgar's bookshelf! She inhaled sharply.
Soon, a convoy of about ten jeeps came, and they were ushered into it.
"What's going on?"
"Quick, explain to them.Can't you speak their language?"
Some passengers pushed the flight crew.
"It's."
It will be hard.
Jean thought about it after listening to their conversation and stepped forward.
"I will try? She waved at someone opposite to them and shouted loudly, "We were involved in a plane crash.We didn't mean to trespass! We're all ordinary civilians."
The group opposite them heard her and glanced at each other.
The head of the group surveyed Jean before stepping forward, "This is the army's stationed area.We need to identify you.Please form a line and move accordingly"
Jean conveyed his instructions to the passengers.
