TimeNovelChapter 1436: 1436. Landslide As for the two sons...
They're no longer toddlers; they need to learn to live independently of their parents.
Five-year-old William Campbell and one-year-old Jack Campbell: “???" The Old Lady waved her hand dismissively. Those two clever and adorable great-grandchildren were her treasures, and she naturally wished she could watch over them every moment.
But...
"Don't just immerse yourself in work; you have to take care of your health too.” "I understand, Grandma. I'll finish up these tasks in the next few days, and then I'll go find Elly. She's all alone in that mountain area, and I'm worried about her." The Old Lady gave him an annoyed sideways glance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEver since her grandson begged his wife to remarry him, according to Elly, he'd transformed into a clingy little gremlin.
All day, he wouldn't stop talking about his wife.
Their two sons practically didn't exist in his world.
She looked at him, tirelessly working non-stop, clearly just preoccupied with rushing off to see his wife.
"You-you only have your wife in mind. Be careful; these two little boys may not recognize you as their father one day." Adam Jones shrugged indifferently.
If they don't recognize him, so be it-he still has his wife.
Besides, he trusted the sons he'd raised; no way would they fail to recognize him. His love was for their mom, not for just any other woman.
"Now reporting a news update: Torrential rains have struck the Atlanta Baker mountain area, triggering a landslide. As of now, over thirty people are reported missing. Firefighters rushed to the rescue immediately, but the mudslides have blocked mountain roads, significantly hindering their efforts to enter. The torrential rains are still ongoing..." The Old Lady paused, listening to the news, and then exclaimed, “Isn't that Atlanta Baker mountain area where Elly went?" Before she could finish her sentence, Adam Jones was already nowhere to be seen in the living room. Meanwhile, in the rain-soaked Atlanta Baker mountain area, where mudslides have cut off the roads, firefighters could only proceed on foot to carry out rescue operations.
With rain still pouring heavily, the situation was extremely dire.
The project team-which had cto the mountains to work on infrastructure projects-consisted of members from both the Jones and Campbell companies, as well as two other companies involved in the project, along with government-assigned project leaders.
No one had anticipated that on just their second day in the mountains, before the project had officially started, they'd encounter such an event.
Every face was filled with distress.
The locals here were mostly elderly people or left-behind children, with little capacity for self-rescue. They could only wait for help.
Most of the population lived at the foot of the mountain. If the rain persisted, there could be secondary landslides.
Before the firefighters even entered the mountains, the younger members of the project team Kad already started organizing themselves to venture out in the rain and rescue people.
"CEO Campbell, the situation doesn't look good. The torrential rain hasn't let up, and the mountain roads are blocked. Firefighters are going in on foot to rescue people, but ambulances can't get through either. If we manage to rescue people but they can't receive timely treatment, it'll still be a dead end for them." Speaking was the head of the Information Engineering Department at the Campbell company.
When the landslide first struck, they had organized a rescue effort immediately.
But if the rain didn't stop, it would severely impede progress.
The sky roared with thunder, lightning tearing through. In an instant, the pitch-black sky becas bright as daylight.
Elly Campbell raised a hand to shield her eyes against the falling rainwater, her gaze rescuers the O. COW fixed, on N rescuers project team members and firefighters struggling amidst the mudslides. She retrieved the satellite phone from her backpack and dialed Adam Jones's number.
