Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Jiang Li gripped the steering wheel, her knuckles pale from tension, her eyes glancing frequently at the rearview mirror, hoping for Ye Jingmo's arrival.

"Still can't get in touch?" Jiang Li's voice trembled slightly, like a taut string.

Qin Yue shook her head, her fingers constantly adjusting the radio frequency. "It's all static; I haven't heard a response."

Lin Yu sat in the passenger seat, a yellowed map spread out in her hand. Her eyes were fixed on the lines on the map, her finger slowly moving along a prominent red line. That red line represented their upcoming route, with every turn and straightaway clearly marked.

“Turn right at the third fork in the road ahead,” Lin Yu’s voice was calm and firm as she continued to guide Jiang Li. “Then go straight for about two kilometers, and you’ll see the sign for the station entrance.” Her voice echoed in the car, bringing a sense of stability to the tense atmosphere.

Jiang Li gripped the steering wheel tightly, forcing herself to concentrate on driving. Her heart was filled with anxiety and unease, but she knew this was not the time to be distracted.

She had to stay calm and make sure they reached their destination safely. Ye Jingmo would be alright, she repeated this phrase to herself over and over, like a life-saving incantation, trying to dispel the fear in her heart.

The car drove smoothly along the highway, the scenery outside the window rushing past. Lin Yu occasionally looked up from the map at the distant road signs to make sure they weren't straying from the correct route.

A tense silence filled the car, broken only by Lin Yu's occasional instructions, Jiang Li's soft breathing, and the noise of the radio.

Suddenly, Qin Yue, who was in the back seat, sat up straight. "Wait! There's a signal!" She quickly turned up the volume. Intermittent static noise came through the radio, occasionally mixed with Ye Jingmo's indistinct voice.

"Safe...detour...marked to see...meet..."

"How's it going on your end?" Qin Yue asked anxiously, but the signal dropped again, leaving only relentless noise.

Jiang Li bit her lower lip tightly until she smelled the metallic, bloody tang of blood, before she snapped out of her shock.

It's so good that Brother Mo is still alive.

The car traveled through the dimly lit tunnel, its headlights illuminating the mottled walls ahead.

Suddenly noticing a large section of the road ahead had collapsed, revealing a gaping maw that seemed capable of swallowing everything, Jiang Li immediately slammed on the brakes.

The car stopped just two meters from the sinkhole. "I'll get out and check the situation to see if we can get through this sinkhole safely," Jiang Li said, taking a deep breath.

Jiang Li pushed open the car door, and a cold wind mixed with the musty smell unique to the tunnel rushed in, making her shiver.

She tightened her coat and carefully approached the edge of the collapse. The beam of her flashlight pierced the darkness, illuminating the bottomless crack below.

Scattered rubble and twisted metal lay in the cave-in, resembling the fangs of some giant beast, sending chills down one's spine.

Jiang Li walked slowly along the edge of the collapse, taking each step carefully, afraid that she might also slip and fall into that bottomless abyss.

“The collapse is more than three meters wide; a car definitely can’t get through,” she said in a low voice, her words echoing in the empty tunnel.

Lin Yu followed and squatted down to examine the ground carefully. "The structure at the edge of the collapse is unstable, and it would be dangerous to build a bridge across it."

Qin Yu's car also stopped behind him. Qin Yu got out and followed to check, and was shocked to see the huge hole.

"The car definitely can't get through like this, we'll have to get off and walk," Jiang Li said helplessly.

Jiang Li asked Lin Yu if there were any other routes. Lin Yu looked at the map and shook her head. There were no other routes besides this one.

"We're not far from the platform exit now. You'll see it as soon as you exit the tunnel," Lin Yu said.

"Have Liangzi and the others get out of the car. Everyone, divide up the things in the trunk. Take the important things, and leave the rest behind."

Jiang Li nodded and quickly made a decision.

They redistributed the equipment, taking only the essentials and leaving the rest in the vehicle for the time being.

The group carefully walked along the edge, afraid that they might accidentally fall into the collapsed area.

Inside the tunnel, the sound of dripping water from somewhere mingled with their footsteps.

The blurry arrows on the wall pointed in the direction they were going. Lin Yu stared intently at the map, making sure they hadn't strayed off course.

After finally passing through the entire tunnel, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "We're out safely."

"That's the platform entrance over there," Lin Yu pointed to a blurry outline in the distance.
