crowd. Now, hearing the rumbling behind him, he was terrified.
“Run!” Ethan grabbed him and pulled him forward, but the employee was too shocked to move his leaden legs. Ethan had no
choice but to lift him up and sprint ahead. His bodyguard also cto help. As if they were running away from death itself, Ethan
and the bodyguard carried the engineer and dashed through the passage with intense falling rocks.
The main group ahead had already reached a stable area. The rescue team captain urged everyone to leave at once while he
stayed behind to cover their retreat. When he looked back and saw the bodyguard carrying two people, he shouted, “Where is Mr.
Quarles? Is he still inside?”
The entrance was still shaking, with debris constantly falling. If someone was inside, they would likely be buried alive. “Mr. Ethan!”
The four bodyguards put down the people they were carrying and ran toward the entrance.
“Cback!” The rescue team captain immediately stopped them. “Going in there would be suicide.” “But Mr. Ethan and my

It was a terrifying noise from the depths of the tunnel. Ethan had never felt despair in his life, but when he heard that sound,
despair instantly spread through his chest.
Boom! The tunnel completely collapsed behind them, with huge rocks falling. Fortunately, just when Ethan felt hopeless, several
hands appeared to take over the bodyguard from his hands. But just as he reached out, a stone fell from above, and darkness
enveloped his vision. He dropped to the ground.
Mother, Father, Josephine, I'm sorry! It was Ethan's last thought before sinking into darkness. “Mr. Ethan...”
The sky was already bright when the rescue team emerged, and several rescue vehicles were parked nearby, receiving the injured.
