In the camp area, the leader suddenly received a phone call from her boyfriend, who was working for the Weather Bureau. Apparently, the No. 5 wind ball had suddenly turned and condensed into a super typhoon, and it was coming towards them. She told others that they had to go back to the coast immediately, inevitably scaring the girls. They packed up their stuff and jumped on the boat. They were in such a hurry that the leader actually forgot to do a headcount.
Only Mandy knew that there was one person who hadn't come back to the campsite.
She didn't expect that God would help her teach this insidious green tea bitch a lesson. Well, she deserved to be stuck here and feel the violent storm all alone.
Mandy sneered and followed everyone to the boat.
Meanwhile, on a dark hillside,
Essie woke up.
At once, she felt pain on her forehead and knees.
She had no idea what had happened to her. All she knew was that she had been standing on top of the hill when someone pushed her from behind. She rolled down the hill and immediately lost consciousness.
Essie struggled to stand up and limped back to the beach. When she got to the campsite, however, there was no one and nothing in sight except for her bag, which someone had thrown behind a rock.
Where did everyone go?
Hadn't they agreed to camp on the island?
She took her phone out from her pocket, and found that it was broken. She couldn't even turn it on. Fortunately, she still had the phone that Zac had given her. Even though it was a cheap-looking phone, it had great quality and was still in good condition.
She hurriedly called Mandy, but her phone was turned off!
They had been friends for ten years, but she didn't even notice that she wasn't with them?
Did she still have any sort of conscience?
At that moment, she really wanted to cry.
Heavy dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the howling gales created dark winds on the surface of the sea.
Essie felt like she was going to be blown away by the strong gusts of wind.
In her mind, Essie thought that an oncoming typhoon must have forced them to evacuate the place at once.
Essie began to feel absolutely terrified. She shuddered and dialed Zac's number. She couldn't think of anyone to contact but him.
When she called, Zac was lying on the bed and was just about to sleep. It was an uneventful night for him.
Zac heard his phone ring, so he looked at it and saw that Essie was calling. His lips subconsciously curled up to form a smile. It was rare for her to call him.
"You little fool, do you miss me?"
"Zac, there's about to be a typhoon. Everyone went back and left me alone on the island..." On the other end of the line, Essie's voice was trembling. She sounded close to crying.
What the hell!
Zac jumped up from the bed, quickly gathered up some necessities and rushed out like a gust of wind.
While driving, he made a call to William. "Buy me a yacht, do whatever you can do."
As the most capable assistant of Zac, William had the ability to do everything. By the time Zac arrived at the dock, William and some other men in black with full equipment were already waiting for him.
With a roaring sound, a fierce gust of wind rolled up the sea surface. Waves surged up to the shore like wild horses, and with an ear-shattering howl, they fell into pieces as they met the sand.
William looked at the sea and said worriedly, "A storm is coming. Be careful." He knew very well that no one could stop Zac from doing whatever he wanted. All he could do was stay where he was and be ready to rescue him at any time.
Zac nodded and jumped into the yacht. Soon, the yacht disappeared from William's sight. Zac's nerves were on edge, and he didn't care about how much danger he was in. How could he care about himself when the only thing he wanted to do was to run to Essie and protect her?
Meanwhile, on the uninhabited island...
Essie's was trembling in intense fear.
Zac had told her that he would come, but it was already midnight and the typhoon was fast-approaching. He had no ship of his own. How could he come? Moreover, they were neither relatives nor friends, so it's not likely he would risk his life for her.
If she called the police, they would come tomorrow morning to rescue her.
The only thing she could do now was find a safe place to hide so that she wouldn't be carried into the sea by the strong winds.
She suddenly remembered seeing a cave earlier, so she fumbled to go there.
At that moment, a gust of wind swept over her, making such a strong impact that she could hardly stand on her feet. Panicked, she quickly hugged the big tree next to her.
Following the wind came an anxious voice calling out to her, "Essie, Essie!"
It seemed to be the voice of Zac.
'I'm hallucinating! I must be hallucinating! He couldn't have come!' Essie thought.
She shook her head hard and continued to walk forward.
"Essie!"
