They were unprepared for the downpour, which had occurred almost instantly
without the slightest warning. They had to ask for support from their superiors.
Two hours passed, but the torrential flood kept rushing down with a terrifying
force, showing no intentions of stopping.
The soldiers had lost no time evacuating the villagers. So, luckily, there were no
human lives lost. But their houses were completely destroyed and their livestock
and grains were all gone.
Several hundred tourists who had just entered the scenic spot were lucky
enough. They were found by the soldiers and left in time. Those who had entered
a long time ago were not so lucky. The soldiers were still searching for them, but
they were too far in.
The rainstorm was getting heavier and heavier, causing great difficulties for the
soldiers in their rescue mission. Visibility was already down to three or four
meters.
Miller and Blair had gotten separated due to the torrential flood. The umbrella
had been in his hand, and he was nowhere to be found.
Even people who could swim perfectly might have Lost their lives in the face of
such a powerful flood. Blair didn’t even know how to swim. She could only walk
up the mountain in the heavy rain.
Blair was with the girl who shared the same room with her, a new employee of
Miller's company.
The girl had an umbrella, but it was of no use in the rainstorm. The two ran
helter-skelter along the trail, trying to find some kind of shelter they could stay dry
under. But the same unhelpful trees, rocks, and root systems met them at every
turn.
Eventually, they were out of Luck. Even though they kept moving up the
mountain, the flood still lapped at their ankles. They had to hold onto a huge tree
branch hand in hand to prevent the flood from washing them away.
The girl could no Longer hold back her tears.

“It's so terrifying. I can't swim. Are we going to die? Why isn’t there someone to
save us?" she sobbed.
It was the first time that Blair had encountered a natural disaster like this. She
was terrified as well. But she was still a little calmer than the girl. She
encouraged her, “Hey, get a grip! Yesterday, I saw troops stationed near the
South Mountain. Don’t worry. They'll send out rescue teams. They have to build
lost person profiles, ping our cellphones, figure out where we are, and set up
search points to safely intercept us. It's just a matter of time before they find us.
All we need to do now is stay alive.”
“I... know. But we can’t even find shelter. Even if we're not washed away,
pneumonia and hypothermia will do us in. Look at us-we're soaked to the bone.”
She held Blair's hands tighter. Their hands were cold as ice. They were starting
to Lose body temperature rapidly; color had drained from both their faces. Blair
was on her period, and feeling weak. “I probably didn’t get enough water, * she
thought.
Blair was not the hardiest woman at the best of times. Now that her feet were
soaked in the cold water, she felt her energy running Low.
“Don't cry or talk. We need to save our energy. This mountain is full of stones,
and the flood isn't strong enough to dislodge those. But we have to keep
climbing.” The two girls began to move up the mountain again.
The trail was so slippery they had to be extra cautious. Blair not only had to keep
alert, but also had to take care of the girl. The water was constantly rising. Out of
options, Blair clenched her teeth and leaped onto a huge rock.
On the rock, Blair saw Miller and his colleagues on another huge rock.
The two groups were separated by the surging floodwaters.
Blair wasted no time and pulled the girl onto the rock as well. The two girls finally
heaved a sigh.
Blair wiped the water from her face, smoothing her rain-slicked hair back, and
looked around. The situation was rather grim.
