My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 30 Strikes Again
Ethan jumped out of the car and walked in front of several people.

"I want to go to Noble Hill, the Golden Gate Bridge is blocked, I don't know where else to go"

Ethan pointed at the mighty crowd, "With so many people crowding out, how long will it take us to reach the outskirts of the city? And we don't know how the rescue force is."

He paused and continued:

"What is certain now is that Blake's father is rushing over to rescue us. If there is a chance to board the helicopter and leave, I am willing to bet on it."

Blake showed joy, nodded repeatedly, and moved to stand behind Ethan.

What else did Ben Taylor want to say, Ethan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I understand what you mean, it's really dangerous to go inside now, but it's the same to go out with the crowd, it's not ruled out that there will be aftershocks, just luck, just in case There was a stampede..."

Ethan didn't speak anymore, and looked at the short Ollie next to him.

Ole held his brother's clothes tightly and looked at him pitifully. Ben Taylor had no choice but to agree to Black's plan.

After leaving the crowd, the surroundings became very quiet, and the boots creaked on the gravel.

On the way, I also met many buddies who were keen on shopping, and the guy in Ethan's hand suppressed their urge to rob them by the way.

Black slowed down and looked at a half-built building not far away with a complicated expression.

"Is there a problem?" Ethan lit a cigarette.

"This was designed by Daniel. He once bragged to me that after the building is completed, it will be the tallest building in San Francisco." Black shook his head and smiled.

As he was walking forward, there was a beeping sound in his trouser pocket.

Ethan quickly took out the radio, turned the knob, and turned up the volume.

"Now it is urgent to announce that there will be an earthquake with an intensity as high as 9.6 in the waters near San Francisco. At the request of the California State Emergency Warning Department, the citizens of San Francisco should evacuate the city immediately."

The group of people stopped walking for an instant, and the scene was as silent as death except for the sound broadcast on the radio.

A gust of sea wind blew up a newspaper.

"Run!" Ethan gasped and threw away the cigarette.

Before they could find a good place to hide, the ground swayed like a wave, shaking everyone to this side, the electric poles on the side of the road fell down one after another, and the torn wires flew everywhere with sparks.

Blake only had time to hide behind a Cadillac SUV before Ollie tripped over a rock and fell to the ground as he ran around in a panic.

Ben Taylor ran to Ollie in a hurry, but was knocked down by the ground, and then a short building next to him collapsed, the glass on the outer wall cracked, and countless fragments fell on him.

He could only protect his vitals and watched a telegraph pole fall in the direction of Ollie.

"Ollie, run."

Ben Taylor's eyes widened, and he let out a growl in despair.

Just at the very moment, Ethan managed to control his body's balance, and quickly rushed over to grab Ollie, and quickly turned over to protect Ollie underneath.

The heavy electric pole fell heavily beside him with a "bang", and the sparking wires danced like snakes in front of his eyes.

He hurriedly hugged Ollie who was still in shock and crawled to Black's side. The two looked at each other with panic in their eyes. Black threw himself into Ethan's arms with tears in his eyes.

He hugged Ollie and Blake tightly, leaning against the SUV, with Ben Taylor sprawled not far away.

The ground was still shaking, Ollie wailed, Black's huge mountain was overwhelming him, and Ethan stared blankly ahead.

In the distance, the ground cracked and tall buildings collapsed, stirring up clouds of smoke and dust, like the end of the world. Didn't I just want to watch the elementary school students play a game?Whether it should be like this, Ethan wanted to cry but had no tears.

After spending the longest tens of seconds in his life, he finally felt the ground stop shaking, and then he struggled to help Ollie and Black up.

They hurried to Ben Taylor and turned him over.

Ben Taylor let out a cry of pain, and grabbed his thigh with both hands, which was stabbed deeply with a shard of glass.

Ethan and Black carefully helped him to the side and sat against the wall.

"I'm fine, at least we're still alive, aren't we?" Ben Taylor happily wiped away the tears from Ollie's face, hugged him into his arms, and grabbed Ethan's hand gratefully.

"We have to pull out the glass, and walking with it will make the wounds get deeper and deeper."

After Blake finished speaking, he quickly took off his coat, used the sleeve of the coat to make a knot on Ben Taylor's thigh, and pulled hard.

Ben Taylor snorted, with a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

"Before it hurts, you have to hold back and hope you don't hurt the artery."

Ollie stuffed the San Francisco travel guide into Ben Taylor's mouth, and Ethan held him tightly. After taking a deep breath, Blake firmly stretched out his hand towards the shards of glass.

Under Ethan's firm control, after Ben Taylor struggled a few times, the glass was slowly pulled out.

Fortunately, the bleeding from the wound soon stopped.

Ethan let go, and Ollie rushed forward distressedly, and rolled up his sleeves to help Ben Taylor wipe the sweat off his head.

Having just experienced a wave of earthquakes, several people lost their mind to move, and sat in a corner to rest.

Ethan suddenly remembered something, got up and walked towards the opposite SUV.

He pretended to rummage around in the car, and then took out a bottle with more than half of the liquor left in the space. This was the old bourbon whiskey that he took from the Savoy Gentleman's Club last time.

Almost forgot about it, now is the time.

"Ethan, what did you find?" Black sat on the ground and asked curiously.

Ethan didn't speak, he raised his hand high, and shook it back and forth, causing two shouts of surprise.

"You're one lucky bastard."

Black stood up, quickly dusted off his body and walked over, snatching the bottle.

In front of the ruins of the city, Blake, wearing slender jeans and a red vest, swallowed whiskey with his head up, his hair shone like gold under the sunlight.

Blake found Ethan staring at her ecstatically, blushing, and handed him the bottle.

Ethan coughed lightly, took the bottle, and gulped down a few gulps.

"What are you still doing there? Hurry up and serve me some." Ben Taylor kept urging.

"Don't worry, it's here." Ethan walked towards him with the bottle in hand.

"You drunkards, I really don't know what to drink, it smells so bad." Ollie looked at them with disgust.

After resting for a few minutes, Ethan poured the last bit of wine into his mouth as usual under the surprised eyes of Ben Taylor and Black.

Just as several people were discussing what to do next, the radio in Ethan's trouser pocket rang again.

"The weather department issued a tsunami warning for the area of ​​occurrence: Northern and central California, including the following areas: Maran, Napa, San Francisco, Monterey..."

"Damn, it's never over."

Amidst Ethan's cursing, the wine bottle in his hand spun and flew towards the broken wall beside him.
