By the time Laura drove the Pelican to the seaside town of Cozumel, the waters below had largely receded.

"Scan for life signals, quick! Also, pick me up Roxanne! ”

The satellite phone was soon connected, and Roxanne's voice rang a little sleepy:

"Hello? Laura, why are you calling me right now? This strange eclipse has lasted so long that I finally feel a little sleepy. ”

"I'm sorry, Roxanne, remember that special rescue team plan I mentioned to you earlier?"

"Why don't you remember, a lot of money was spent, and a lot of the personal relationships left by your father were used up, so it was not easy for the reorganized Security Council to agree to our company to take over and transform a certain space carrier. What, you're going to enable this big toy? ”

"That's right! Immediately send them to Mexico, Cozumel, where a severe tsunami has just occurred and rescue ships are needed! ”

Hearing Laura's words, Roxanne, who was originally lying on the bed, sat up suddenly, and most of her sleepiness dissipated in an instant.

"What you said is true?"

"That's right! I've already sent you the picture information, please! ”

Roxanne turned on the indoor projector, and sure enough, she saw that Laura had sent her a folder, and after clicking on it and skimming it, she rubbed her temples and stood up.

"I know, don't worry, I'll go and deal with the new council immediately, and I'll leave these official matters to me! Protect yourself if you're over there. ”

"Thanks, Roxanne."

"And what else do I need to say? Alright, I'm going to contact the old guys, BYE. ”

After hanging up the phone in a relaxed tone, Roxanne put on her coat and walked briskly into her private office, took a few pills from the desk drawer with great skill, took them with water, sat in the boss's chair and took a few deep breaths, opened her eyes and entered the working state.

Laura, on her part, jumped out of the Pelican's open rear hatch after ending the call, and the scan results were not encouraging. Except for a small number of life signals on the high ground, the town in the depression is almost dark, and even if there are occasional light spots or two, they are like candles in the wind, which can be extinguished at any time.

The location she flew to was the strongest vital signal in the vicinity, and if nothing else, it was Anna with the Desperate Virus Enhancement.

Sure enough, after rounding a large rock, Laura found Anna sitting in the mud, holding a little boy in her arms, and the body of a young woman lying not far away.

"He's dead ... I can't save him, I'm sorry. I'm sorry... ”

Anna stared blankly in front of her, muttering the words in a low voice until Laura landed in front of her, and then bounced off the ground with the boy in her arms like a lifesaver.

"Laura! There you are! Save this child! The recovery potion I was carrying with me was damaged in the previous tsunami! ”

"Anna..."

Laura didn't know how to say it, and the boy in Anna's arms had no sign of life, either under the detection of the drone or her perception of life.

In the end, she chose to tell the truth:

"I'm sorry, I can't save him, because even the group's latest recovery potion can't save a dead person."

With a "poof", Anna, who had been struck by lightning, fell to her knees on a muddy ground with her legs weak.

Laura was about to step forward to comfort her with a few words, when Roxanne's satellite communication came in:

"The Council has reached a disaster relief agreement with the Mexican government through the United Nations, the rescue ship Dawn with a joint rescue team has departed, and with your new engine and energy reactor, she should be there within thirty minutes!"

"Thank you, Roxanne, you should rest for a while, after all, you have disturbed your rest in a hurry."

"It's okay, I'm used to it. By the way, Tony Stark couldn't reach you before, so he called me, and he seems to need your help with something, but he didn't say why. ”

"I know, I'll contact him later, you can rest well."

After hanging up the satellite phone, Laura looked at Anna who was in tears, and sighed, she really doesn't have time to take care of Tony's affairs now, let's talk about it later.

"Anna, you...

She still didn't know how to say it after all, the other party's mood was obviously still very low, but she didn't expect Anna to raise her head this time and say in a terrifyingly calm tone:

"Not long after your phone was interrupted, the tsunami came without warning, and I couldn't run away, and everyone in the town didn't get away."

As she spoke, Anna untied her torn but clean coat and laid it on the floor, gently placed the little boy in her arms on it, and then wiped a few places of mud from his pale little face with the back of her hand.

"His name is Antonio, and I rescued him from the rubble after hearing his mother's weak cries for help. No! I failed to keep my promise with his mother, and I failed to save him! ”

The more Anna spoke, the more agitated she became, and the rapid rise in body temperature caused by emotions quickly evaporated the water that had been attached to her body.

Laura could only come forward and hug Anna as a sign of comfort. Because as far as she knows, Anna doesn't know how many people she has killed in various actions in her life, but it is the first time she has taken the initiative to save people.

This is a testament to the change in her mindset after she broke away from the Holy Trinity, but the result was not so satisfactory.

After the two let go, Anna's mood and body temperature had basically returned to normal, and the radio communicator that fell to the ground when she took off her coat suddenly rang:

"Zizizi... Didi! This is the Holy Trinity Crescent Operation Emergency Channel, are there any people alive on the shore? Please reply! ”

"This is Anna Miller, what branch are you from, where are you? What about the casualties? over！ ”

Inside Trinity, she still uses her former surname, Miller.

"Commander Anna! You're alive! That's great! I'm a detachment of the temple passage construction team, and a total of nineteen of us on the temple island reef are fine, and the tsunami doesn't know why we avoided here!

I have been trying to call for more than 10 minutes after the mobile phone and ground communication failed, and you are the only one who has replied to the other four detachments and the headquarters on the shore. ”

Hearing this, Anna and Laura immediately looked at the location of the Chuck Chel Temple.

"This thing, it's really evil!"

Anna's auxiliary glasses have limited magnification, but Laura, who has super vision, can see clearly, and the vegetation on the reef and the construction site have not been damaged in any way.
