The roar echoed through the relentless rain, like the harbinger of death.
Occasionally, small animals darted past. Kallum stared in the direction of the incident, feeling the mountain shaking noticeably. He had only one thought: he hoped Calista wasn’t in that direction.
“Mr. Kallum, is it an earthquake?” Ryder asked uncertainly.
At that moment, distant shouts echoed as the two men chasing Calista ran back, yelling, “Something’s wrong. The mountain collapsed. There’s a mudslide.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
They no longer cared about Calista, because the severe deforestation on the mountain combined with the heavy rain had caused a mudslide. If they were buried, they would die.
Hearing the commotion, Kallum immediately ran toward them and intercepted them.
“Where’s the person you were chasing?”
The man was abruptly seized by Kallum, rainwater coursing down his face. As he looked at Kallum, his teeth chattered. “She ran off, but with the landslide, I fear she may be buried…
Before he could finish, Kallum roared and punched him, knocking him to the ground.
The punch was so powerful that the man rolled twice on the ground, losing some teeth.
But this didn’t relieve Kallum’s anger in the slightest. If it weren’t for these men chasing Calista, she wouldn’t be in such danger. At that moment, his desire to kill was strong. If he weren’t in a hurry to save her, he would have killed this man.
“Mr. Kallum! Mr. Kallum, the collapse has stopped. It seems to be a small–scale mudslide…” Ryder pulled Kallum back.
Even though it was a small–scale mudslide, his heart couldn’t help but sink. He didn’t dare to imagine what would happen to Kallum if Calista accidentally died here.
Kallum didn’t respond, pushing Ryder aside and sprinting toward the direction of the mudslide.
He made a call, his trembling voice mixed with the rain.
“Is the GPS signal still there?”
The person on the other end quickly replied, “The signal is weak, but it’s still there. Ms. Calista seems to have stopped moving. But Mr. Kallum, what’s that noise on your end? It sounds huge.”
“Send me the location.”
“Yes, Mr. Kallum, it’s been sent to your phone… Wait. Mr. Kallum, satellite data indicates a change in the geological situation in your area. It’s right where Ms. Calista is. You can’t go there. It’s dangerous!”
After receiving the location data, Kallum immediately hung up and called for a helicopter to bring rescue tools to the area.
Although it was raining, the absence of thunderstorms in winter meant the helicopter could by. Howe

And he didn’t have much time left.
On a cold winter night, the pouring rain was chilly.
Kallum had never believed in fate, but this time, he had an absurd thought.

Is it destined that he and Calista will be forever apart? Is this life doomed to end in tragedy, just like the last? Whenever I have the chance to get close to her to seize her, will there be a hand ready to whisk her away? If so, I absolutely refuse to accept such a fate. Calista always said I’m lucky. IfI truly am, I would trade all my remaining luck for her safety.
When Calista heard the commotion stop, she breathed a small sigh of relief. She was somewhat grateful she had fallen. If she had continued forward, she might have been buried directly.
But the situation was still dire. The exit was blocked, and she was about ten meters underground. Mud and rocks sealed the slanted exit, and if the rain continued, the mud could bury her completely.
She believed Kallum would come to rescue her, if he made it in time.
Calista held her phone close to her chest. The phone’s light was her only solace in this less than two- square–meter underground pit. She breathed cautiously, knowing oxygen was extremely limited.
When Kallum saw the mudslide had stopped, he felt a glimmer of hope. If the affected area was small, Calista might still have a chance to escape.
But reality dealt him a heavy blow. When he reached the edge of the mudslide, the tracker showed Calista was directly beneath him.
He tried moving sideways, but the tracker immediately shifted. His newly acquired tracking system had almost no margin of error. This meant Calista, or at least her phone was right beneath his feet.
He called Calista, but she didn’t dare answer. In the limited space, the air would last no more than an hour, and she couldn’t waste any of it.
Calista: I’m buried, but before that, I fell into a naturally formed underground cavity. However, I may not last long. Mud and rocks have blocked the entrance, and the air is limited.
Her words were as calm as ever, but only she knew how much effort it took to type those words. Her whole body was numb with cold. Every breath seemed to take away the last bit of warmth from her body. She had a strong premonition that she might die here.
At that moment, she felt a wave of regret.
