My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 29 Choice
Leaving the electronics store, the crowd merged into the mighty crowd fleeing the city on the main street.

The chaos has not yet spread to the main street. In the face of the crisis, most people still want to escape.

Just as a few people were walking towards the direction indicated by the map, there was a loud noise behind them, and the people next to them started commotion. Ethan turned his head, and a tall building not far away was slowly falling down.

The people around suddenly rushed forward like ants on a hot pot.

At the very beginning of the earthquake, Ethan saw the horror of high-rise collapses.

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately grabbed Black and Ollie who were still standing there, and squeezed to the side with all his brute force. Ben Taylor originally planned to run forward with the crowd, so he followed after seeing this.

With great effort, he came to the side of the street. Ethan stuffed Ollie into a corner with a raised arm, and then hugged Blake and stood behind Ollie. Ben Taylor followed closely behind. Squeeze tightly into the corner.

"Blake, that's great, you're fine, hurry up and make room for me."

A dusty man ran over with a look of surprise on his face, his suit was wrinkled, and there was only one leather shoe left on his feet.

At this moment, the tall building could no longer bear the pressure and collapsed.

All kinds of broken pieces and dust came like a sandstorm. Seeing this horrifying scene, the leather shoe man immediately reached out and grabbed Ollie by the collar, trying to drag him out so that he could hide in.

"Daniel, Fayu, go to hell."

Blake quickly raised his long legs and kicked Daniel into the billowing yellow smoke.

Amid all the crackling and crackling sounds, Ethan hugged Blake tightly, leaned into her ear and yelled, "Nice job."

The next moment, smoke and dust drowned them in darkness.

Ethan held his breath, and after an unknown amount of time, the smoke and dust finally dissipated, and several people coughed and patted the dust on their bodies.

The streets that were originally crowded with people are now like purgatory on earth.

The scene was too tragic, Blake couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hands to cover Ollie's eyes.

"Keep going, don't stop, keep going forward along the evacuation passage."

Under the constant yelling of the police, the fleeing crowd rolled along the road. On both sides of the road, there were National Guards in full armor at intervals.

"It's a few blocks down Lombard Street, and then we'll be in Coit Tower in no time."

Oli walked in front, carefully compared the map in his hand, and said happily to them.

The spirits of several people were shaken, and their pace quickened a little.

"Hey, look over there."

Black's eyes lit up, and he ran to the side holding Ethan's hand.

"It's just a wrecked fire truck, what's so special?"

Ben Taylor looked at Ethan enviously, avoided the people next to him, and hurriedly followed.

"Look for the supply box quickly. There should be something useful in the supply box." Black opened the storage compartment on the fire truck.

"Is it this?" Oli, a young object finder, pulled out a silver-white aluminum box vigorously.

The box hit the ground with a dull sound, Blake hurried over to open the box, after a simple rummage, she let out a low cry of joy, and found a radio from inside the box.

Black turned sideways to block the view of the crowd behind him, and handed the radio to Ethan.

Ethan understood, took the radio and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. At this time, a few people ran behind to squeeze Ollie away. After seeing that there was no food in the box, he returned to the crowd in disappointment.

After everyone walked forward for a certain distance, Black couldn't stand Ollie's curious eyes, and explained in a low voice:
"Each city has its own strategic channels for emergency responders to communicate with."

"Using that radio, we can learn the latest situation, at least we won't be confused."

"Knowing your enemy is like knowing yourself. Only in this way can you win the battle, as Confucius said in the flower planter." Ollie concluded.

Ethan turned around in his mind for a few times before he realized that what he said was "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never lose a hundred battles."

But what does this have to do with Confucius, Ethan raised his hand and patted Ollie on the head.

He found a remote corner and listened to the radio with Black, but unfortunately there was no useful news.

"You guys hurry up and take a look, there seems to be something wrong with the Coit Tower that Black said."

Ben Taylor put his hands on his waist and stood on the side of the road looking into the distance.

Looking around, in the distance, a tall tower that looks like a fire hose nozzle stands in the billowing smoke, and the black smoke is rolling like sea waves.

Below the smoke was a sea of ​​flames. A large building next to the tower was engulfed in flames, and a fire truck was feebly spraying water.

The flames shone on Blake's face like a sunset, she opened her mouth and muttered, "It seems we need to carry out plan B."

Ben Taylor scratched his head in doubt, "We don't seem to have a plan B, do we?"

Black grabbed a corner of the map in Ollie's hand, looked at it and said quickly:

"It will be there soon. Now we have no way to go to Coit Tower. We can only search for the nearby highlands again. My dad will definitely search for us near Coit Tower."

"Here." Oli pointed heavily at a place on the map, "Nobo Mountain, this is the closest highland to here."

"Very well, let's go right away."

After looking at the direction, Ethan, Black, and Ollie were going against the flow of people to Nobo Hill.

"Wait a moment."

Ben Taylor called to stop them, jumped into a car, stood on the roof and looked around.

Blake stopped in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

"Wait a minute, I'll check the situation"

"Blake, only a few of us chose to go that way." Ben Taylor jumped off the roof and walked in front of them. "I just took a look, and everyone went outside, trying to find a way to leave the city for rescue."

He pointed to the direction and emphasized again, "Only if we go inside, should we be more thoughtful."

Black quickly explained: "My father asked me to go to a higher place. We are trying to find a way to get to a higher place now. He has already driven a rescue helicopter over. We are in a higher place to facilitate his search and rescue."

"But what if he encounters a situation and fails to come here? What if he fails to find us?"

"Listen, I know this sounds crazy, but you have to believe me, my dad will come and save us, he promised me, and I want to believe him too."

Black kept persuading, while Ben Taylor was extremely entangled.

After all, he still brought his younger brother with him, so it would be more reassuring for him to evacuate with the flow of people than the terrifying high-rise jungle.

"Why don't we listen to what Ethan has to say?" Ollie said suddenly.

The eyes of Black and Ben Taylor fell on Ethan. Ethan hesitated, climbed into a car with hands and feet, stood on the roof and looked into the distance.

On the chaotic streets, the endless flow of people is slowly moving out of the city, and the Golden Gate Bridge is blocked.

Behind him, the city slowly became quiet, and occasionally there was a terrifying sound of collapse.
