“James!” Ashlyn called out.
James turned over his shoulder to see Ashlyn's slender figure before him. Looking stern, he responded, “Ashlyn, it's dangerous here.”
“It's fine.” Ashlyn shook her head. “I'm here with some medical personnel who are bringing down medical supplies. Where should we put them?”
“The villagers are seeking refuge on a hill. There is an old bomb shelter left over from the war nearby the hill that is dry enough for you to put the supplies there. I'll ask Joseph to bring you there.” James turned to Joseph, who was busy digging out survivors with a hoe. “Joe, bring your Aunt Ashlyn to place the supplies in the shelter!”
Joseph quickly wiped the mud and water from his face before sprinting toward Ashlyn.
Why did Dad yell so loudly? Now the whole world knows I have an aunt who is the same age as me.
After they got to work, Lucas' plane arrived.
He had brought along a group of volunteers from Nolan Group, as well as a generous selection of food and beverage.
Recruiting volunteers from Nolan Group and South Star Airlines was time-consuming as both organizations were sizable and employed more employees.
That was why Lucas arrived a bit later than Ashlyn.
Ashlyn and the rest were busy moving the medical supplies. It was still raining heavily when she gazed at the dark sky.
All of a sudden, there was a loud thunderclap, and a brilliant bolt of lightning illuminated the sky.
The ground started shaking again.
The volunteers quickly dropped the boxes they were holding and screamed in terror, running away in search of a safe place to hide.
No one was prepared to die here.
