She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 225

"Director, what are you doing?! We're running for our lives and you're filming?!"

Hulda remained completely unfazed. "It's fine. Based on our current distance and the velocity of the debris flow, we have plenty of time to evacuate."

Abby was speechless.

Dr. Lynch and the others were equally dumbfounded.

Sure, she was a genius, but the sheer processing speed of her brain was terrifying.

Despite her reassurance, the men didn't slow down. They caught up with Mr. Miller's group by the cars.

The team naturally paused, expecting the locals to board first.

Instead, Mr. Miller grabbed Zane and pulled him back. "Let the Institute staff get in first!"

"Boss..." Zane was taken aback, but this time, he didn't argue. He stepped aside in silence.

Given the urgency, Hulda didn't waste time arguing over politeness. Her team quickly climbed in, followed immediately by the local officials.

By the time the doors shut, the massive boulders had reached the base, instantly flattening the houses nearest to the slope.

Further down the road, inside the buses that had just departed, the very people who had been complaining moments ago stared out the windows. At the sight of the apocalyptic destruction, a dead silence fell over them.

Seconds later, the shock wore off, replaced by screams of pure terror.

"Oh my god! We just left!"

"If we had stayed even a little longer, we'd be buried!"

"Look at those rocks! They just squashed those houses flat! If anyone was still inside..."

The young woman had been right. It was the first time any of them had seen a landslide of this magnitude.

It was a complete disaster.

If they hadn't evacuated the residents in time, the death toll would have been unimaginable.

Swallowing hard, Mr. Miller felt a profound wave of relief and lingering dread wash over him.

Zane wiped away cold sweat, shaking uncontrollably despite the warm air.

The other staff members looked just as bad, their lips pressed tightly together in sheer terror.

If it hadn't been for Hulda's stubborn insistence, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

She hadn't just saved the villagers' lives—she had saved all of their careers.
