Arden and Ethan ran into the yard, and the hospital building collapsed to the ground. The roar echoed like a hurricane, followed by a thick cloud of dust that blinded and choked their breath.
They stopped running when they reached the sidewalk across from the hospital, then they turned and saw the rubble of the building piled up like a pile of building waste.
"Let's get out of here before anyone comes." Arden nodded, agreeing with Ethan's words.
Ethan also led him through a shortcut, walked down the thicket in the middle of the forest, and across a shallow river whose water was so cold it made Arden's teeth chatter. Runa was still unconscious in his arms. Her eyes were still white and her mouth was open. What made Arden a little relieved was that she still seemed to breathe. Her chest heaved up and down even though its movements were very weak.
