Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258

The group hurried to Silas Lancaster’s room on the top floor of the villa. Following his directions, they found a crack that had appeared on the white, window-side wall.

Seeing this, Sylvia Lancaster slapped her forehead. ’This is bad,’ she thought.

By now, the heavy snow had been falling for several hours, piling a thick layer on the villa’s roof.

If it were ordinary snow, a layer this thick wouldn’t have been heavy enough to collapse the house.

But this black snow was mixed with particles of volcanic ash, making it more than ten times heavier than normal snowflakes.

The Lancaster family’s villa was quite old. If they didn’t clear the roof promptly, it could very well be crushed by the weight of the black snow!

In her past life, Melody Summers had been there. She would have regularly climbed onto the roof to clear the accumulating snow.

In this life, Melody wasn’t with the Lancaster family, so Sylvia had almost forgotten about it!

Elaine Hughes saw the crack and asked anxiously, "What are we going to do?! Our villa isn’t going to collapse, is it?!"

Robert Lancaster was just as frantic watching a crack appear in his beloved villa. He was so agitated that beads of sweat formed on his temples.

Simon Lancaster said with a grim expression, "It must be too much snow piled up. Mom, Dad, don’t worry. I’ll go up and clear it off."

Sylvia Lancaster, wanting to score points with Robert and Elaine, quickly chimed in, "Brother, I’ll help you!"

Silas Lancaster wanted to help too, but...

Melody Summers had injured his leg before. Although he had surgery and his recovery had been relatively successful, for some reason, his leg had started to ache faintly ever since the snow began.

So, Silas could only give up the idea of going up to help shovel snow.

Simon and Sylvia got the snow removal tools ready and prepared to go up to the roof.

They cautiously opened the door, and a blast of bone-chilling wind hit them, making them shudder involuntarily.

The two of them were a pampered young master and miss from a wealthy family who had never done this kind of work before. They struggled to climb onto the roof, nearly slipping and falling off several times.

After finally making it onto the roof, Simon and Sylvia looked at the thick layer of black snow before them with a sense of helplessness. Still, they gritted their teeth, picked up their shovels, and began to clear it.

By the time they finally managed to shovel the accumulated snow to the ground, both of them were exhausted. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their hands and feet were numb from the cold.

Sylvia rubbed her sore wrists and glanced up at the sky.

The wind and snow had stopped for now, and a quiet stillness returned to the world.

But Sylvia knew this was only temporary. In a little while, the snow would start falling again.

’This can’t go on!’ Sylvia thought, panting. ’I have to convince Robert and Elaine to move to a new place as soon as possible!’

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the lull in the snowfall, Melody Summers and Grace Sutton also returned to their villa to clear the "black snow" piled on the roof.

The two of them worked quickly and efficiently. In no time, they had cleared the entire thick layer of black snow from the villa’s roof.

Melody brushed the remaining snow from her pant legs, then looked up at Grace Sutton. "Auntie, let’s head back quickly. The snow will start up again soon."

Grace thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "If we have to, I can stay here at the villa for a couple of days..."

Grace was also worried that the villa would be crushed by the snow laden with volcanic ash.

She still remembered how, just a few months ago when the volcano had first erupted, tons upon tons of volcanic ash had caused one of the world’s tallest landmarks to collapse under the weight.

The memory still frightened Grace!

She wanted to stay here temporarily so that when the snow started again, she could go up and clear it away at a moment’s notice.

But Melody shook her head and replied, "There’s no need, Auntie. People are more important than houses. Let’s go back for now."

Melody had only come to clear the snow as a precaution and to do one last check of the surrounding area.
