...
The damage of the earthquake was so extensive that it could reduce an entire city to rubble in an instant.
Now, Flossie Wright and her group tread upon these ruins.
They moved swiftly, navigating through buildings that could collapse at any moment, their footsteps light.
Yet they were all aware that beneath the obstacles they had just passed, might lie undiscovered souls.
After the earthquake, thousands of soldiers were searching, but a city has so many people. Despite their meticulous rescue efforts, some victims would inevitably be overlooked.
"Hey, Flossie."
Picking up his pace, Willie Ash caught up to Flossie Wright, asking in a low voice, "You were in the middle of selections, weren't you?"
"Mhm."
"Took a leave to come here?"
"..."
Ray glanced at him, but Flossie Wright didn't answer.
Seeing Wright quicken her pace even more, Willie Ash was puzzled and hurried to keep up with her.
This time, however, he dared not ask again.
