Chapter 62: Stationed at the Lake
With everyone’s help, the cars in front of the beetle were pushed aside, and Mary quickly found a way out.
Monroe and Mary switched to the beetle together, and the other two cars took the last few survivors of the disaster, so it wasn’t too crowded.
Mary noticed that Isidore wasn’t with them.
Although there were more people who needed to be rescued, Mary and the others were helpless. They could only help those they saw, but they could not go and search for victims.
The car drove on, and the village huts and houses that they passed by, were seen to be affected by the earthquake.
They were collapsed, they had broken down with cracked walls and the ground around them had caved in.
There were people sitting on the roadside crying, there were people shouting for help, and there were also people spontaneously helping their neighbors.
Mary and the others did not stop, but continued to move forward.
This natural disaster had surpassed all the biggest disasters in human history.
It was as if the end of the world had come.
When they reached a lake in the suburbs, Monroe made the decision to stop and rest.
There were currently three cars, including little Mary’s mother’s car.
There was a total of 14 people.
They opened the trunk and sorted out their supplies. The tents were still there, and there were still a lot of guns and ammunition, but all the food was in another car.
Mary opened the trunk of the beetle and was pleasantly surprised. “There’s food here!”
Little Mary stepped forward and said, “My mother made it. It’s all my father’s favorite food!”
Mary looked down at little Mary. Although the child’s face was no longer filled with sadness and tears, she couldn’t bear to look at her pure eyes.
Hearing her say this, Mary politely asked her, “Then little Mary, can we have some?”
Little Mary agreed happily, “Of course. I’ll help mom say it. You’re welcome!”
Little Mary’s cuteness made the hearts of the men soften.
“Oh! She’s so cute! I want to adopt her!”
“I want to too! But we still have to send her to the adoption agency first before we go through the procedures. We have to abide by the law!”
“She looks like a replica of the miss. She’s too cute.”
“I still think the Miss is cuter…”
Monroe walked past with a black face. “What nonsense are you talking about!? Go down and set up the tent!”
Monroe looked at Mary again. Mary grinned at him. “Let’s go wash the fruits?”
Actually, aside from the fruits, Mary wanted to wash her face more.
This place was very far from Hearth National Park, but the earthquake’s shock waves still affected it.
Although it was relatively quiet here, and even the air was cleaner, no one dared to be careless.
Mary went to the lake’s edge and took off her mask and looked at her reflection in the lake.
Oh! Where did this slovenly girl come from?
Her face was so dirty that she couldn’t look straight at it, and her hair was knotted.
Mary gave up combing her hair with her fingers and turned to help little Mary wash her face next to her.
Little Mary’s leg was temporarily fixed by a splint and needed to be treated as soon as possible.
However, she was very strong and did not cry or make a fuss because of her leg injury.
Monroe had also had a simple wash up. He did not know when he had arrived behind Mary. When he saw how gentle she was towards Little Mary, his eyes could not help but reveal a soft expression.
“Hey, you will definitely be a good mother in the future!”
Mary’s expression was originally very focused, but when she heard Monroe’s sudden voice, she was shocked!
“Monroe, you scared me to death! I’m hungry now, and my nerves are weak. If I were to be scared to death by you, would you leave me here?”
Monroe glared angrily. “Am I that kind of person?”
Mary smiled evilly. “Oh my, who was the one who strangled me so easily? That look of wanting me to be a dead person… I can see it in your eyes!”
