Seeing this, the rescuer regretted telling them about the real situation.
He had only wanted to stop them from arguing further, but things took a turn for the worse.
If he had known, he would have kept his mouth shut.
With their morale at the dumps, the rescuers themselves weren't sure that everyone would survive the ordeal.
No, they weren't sure of anything at all.
The men couldn't help but feel guilty. At the back of their minds, they had a nagging voice telling them that they had failed these poor citizens, the people they were supposed to protect.
The rescuer shook his doubts away and put on a brave face. They still had work to do. The most important thing now was for them to bring the students out of the mountain safely.
"Everyone, be silent and listen to me!" he yelled.
"Our communication signal was working just fine until we landed in this area. This might be related to the magnetic field of this place."
