Leaving the electronics store, the crowd converged on the main street fleeing the city's vast crowd.

The chaos has not yet spread to the main street, and in the face of the crisis, the vast majority of people are still bent on escaping.

Just as a few people were walking in the direction of the map, there was a loud noise behind them, and the people next to them were in a commotion, Ethan turned around, and a tall building not far away was slowly falling.

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

At the very beginning of the earthquake, Ethan saw the horror of the collapse of a tall building.

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately grabbed Blake and Ollie, who were still standing in place, and used all his brute strength to squeeze to the side, Ben Taylor was about to run forward with the crowd, and when he saw this, he also followed.

After making great efforts to the edge of the street, Ethan shoved Ollie into a corner with a flick of his arm, and then hugged Blake and stood behind Ollie, followed by Ben Taylor, and several people squeezed tightly into the corner.

"Blake, great, you're okay, hurry up and make way for me."

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

At this moment, the high-rise building could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed.

The crumbling debris and dust came like a sandstorm, and when the man in the leather shoes saw this horrific sight, he immediately reached out and grabbed Ollie by the collar, trying to pull him out so that he could hide inside.

"Daniel, Fayu, you go and die."

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

Amidst all the crackling sounds, Ethan hugged Blake tightly and leaned into her ear and yelled, "Well done." ”

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

Ethan held his breath, and he didn't know how long it had been, but the smoke and dust finally cleared, and several people coughed and slapped the dust on their bodies.

The streets that used to be crowded with people are like purgatory on earth.

The scene was so tragic that Blake couldn't bear it, and reached out to blindfold Ollie.

......

"Keep walking, don't stop, and continue along the evacuation route."

Under the incessant shouts of the police, the fleeing crowd rolled along the road, and on both sides of the road, at regular intervals, National Guards were heavily armed.

"It's a few streets away to Lombard Street, and then we'll be able to get to Coit Tower in no time."

Ollie walked ahead, took the map in his hand and carefully compared it, and said happily to them.

Several people were shocked, and their pace quickened a few points.

"Hey, look there."

Blake's eyes lit up, and he took Ethan's hand and ran to the side.

"It's just a crashed fire truck, what's so surprising?"

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

"Hurry up and find the supply box, there should be something useful in the supply box." Blake opens the storage compartment on the fire truck.

"Is that it?" Ollie, the little object finder, vigorously pulled out a silver-white aluminum box.

There was a dull sound of the box hitting the ground, and Blake hurried over to open it, and after a brief rummaging, she let out a happy whisper and found a radio from inside the box.

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

Ethan understood and took the radio and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, at this time, several people ran behind him to squeeze Ollie away, and after seeing that there was no food in the box, he returned to the flow of people in disappointment.

After the group had walked some distance, Blake was overwhelmed by Ollie's curious gaze, and explained in a low voice:

"Each city has its strategic channel for emergency responders to contact."

"With that radio, we can keep up to date with what's going on, at least we won't be confused."

"Knowing your enemies is like knowing yourself, so that you can win the battle, Confucius of the flower planters said." Ollie concluded.

Ethan turned around in his head a few times before he realized what he said, "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”

But what does this have to do with Confucius, Ethan Yang patted Ollie's head with his hand.

He found a corner in the middle of nowhere and listened to the radio with Blake, but unfortunately there was no useful news.

"Come over and take a look, there's something wrong with Blake's Koit Tower."

Ben Taylor stood on the side of the road with his hands on his waist and looked into the distance.

In the distance, a tower resembling a fire hose nozzle stood in the middle of billowing smoke, black smoke rolling like ocean waves.

Beneath the smoke was a sea of fire, a large area of the building next to the tower was in flames, and a fire truck was spraying a column of water feebly.

The firelight shone on Blake's face like a sunset, and she opened her mouth to mutter, "Looks like we need to do Plan B." ”

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

Blake grabbed the corner of the map in Ollie's hand, and said quickly as he looked at it:

"Right away, now we have no way to go to Coit Tower, we can only look for nearby high ground again, and my dad will definitely search for us near Coit Tower."

"Here," Ollie pointed to a place on the map, "Mount Noble, this is the closest elevation to here." ”

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

After glancing at the direction, Ethan, Blake, and Ollie were about to go against the flow of people to Noble Mountain.

"Wait a minute."

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

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

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at the situation"

"Blake, it's just a few of us who choose to go that way" Ben Taylor jumped off the roof of the car and walked over to a few of them "I just took a look and everyone went outside, trying to find a way out of the city to seek help. ”

He pointed in the direction and emphasized again: "Only if we go inside, should we think more carefully." ”

Blake hurriedly explained: "My dad told me to go to a high place, we just have to find a way to go to a high place now, he is now driving a rescue helicopter over, and we are at a high place to facilitate his search and rescue." ”

"But what if he doesn't make it to the scene? What if he doesn't find us? ”

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

Blake kept persuading, and Ben Taylor struggled.

After all, he still has his younger brother with him, and compared to the terrifying high-rise jungle now, evacuating with the flow of people can make him feel more at ease.

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

Blake and Ben Taylor's eyes fell on Ethan, who hesitated, climbed into a car with his hands and feet, and stood on the roof of the car to look into the distance.

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

Behind him, the city slowly became quiet, and occasionally there was a terrible crashing sound.
