The sea wind was getting stronger and stronger, stirring up the waves with it.
The sky was also gloomy, and the dark clouds seemed to conquer the world.
A heavy rainstorm was about to come.
Natalie swam to the edge of the reef in desperation.
She tried to climb up the rock, but the rock had been by the sea for countless years and it was covered in slippery seaweed.
No matter how hard she tried to find a solid foot hold, her feet kept slipping and she’d fall into the sea.
She tried again and again, but it was futile.
Her strength was gradually exhausted.
She held the rock breathlessly and didn’t know where to go for a moment.
At this time, the wind was getting stronger, and streaks of lightning lit up the dark clouds.
Thunder roared across the sea , and the waves grew bigger and bigger.
There was no time! Staring at the huge waves rushing towards her, Natalie trembled in fear.
She took a deep breath when the first huge wave rolled in front of her.
Then she squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath.
The wind and waves hit the rocks over and over, accompanied by terrifyingly heavy rain…
By the time the sea gradually calmed down, Natalie was nowhere to be found…
With great difficulty, Natalie peeled her eyes open.
She was still alive! When the storm came, she was swept away by a huge wave.
Fortunately, the wave took her to a nearby reef, where she passed out.
When she tried to get up from the reef, she found that she couldn’t.
Some water rushed into her nose.
She coughed violently and spat out the seawater.
The reef was isolated from the sea, and only a fraction of the road could be seen in the distance.
Natalie climbed to the center of the reef and tried to regroup.
The reef was quite large, so she could temporarily settle here.
But there was no food nor water here.
If no one came to her rescue, she would undoubtedly starve to death, if dehydration didn’t take her life first.
Natalie reached into her pocket and her heart sank.
Her phone was in her bag, and her bag was in the car, and the car was in the bottom of the sea.
There was nothing she could do to seek for help.
Squatting on the reef, she looked to the distance with expectant eyes.
She had no choice but to hope and pray that boats passing by would see her.
On the road by the sea, a huge boulder had rolled down from the mountain and blocked the way.
The obstruction caused a traffic jam on the highway, and the drivers kept honking.
Someone called the road maintenance personnel, but he was told that it would take at least two days to haul the boulder out of the way.
The road that was blocked led to the countryside and was by no means a main road.
Most of the people stuck on the road were simply trying to get back to their hometown.
Seeing that the road was blocked, most of them just turned around to drive back, failing to notice that the guardrail beyond the boulder was broken.
In the evening, the setting sun lit up the horizon, turning the blue ocean an orange hue.
Finally, the road maintenance personnel arrived at the scene.
“Hey, look at this! The guardrail’s broken.” The maintenance man stood beside the guardrail and inspected the damage.
“The marks here are new.
Could a car have fallen into the sea?” “Oh, God. I think so.
Call the authorities.” Another maintenance man immediately dialed the police.
After informing the police, he sighed.
