The phone was suddenly disconnected, as if there was no signal.
Monroe put on a t-shirt and threw one to Mary. The two of them immediately led two men in black out of the house, while the rest stayed at the villa.
After leaving the house, Monroe told Mary, "The person in charge said that it was a hot spring fault. Now the whole resort and its hot springs are in trouble."
Mary was puzzled."Isn't the hot spring a live hot spring that flows down from the mountain? How could it have malfunctioned?"
Monroe looked down at her."You suspect that he's lying?"
In fact, he also felt that the person-in-charge was not telling the truth, but it was rare for Mary to be able to detect that something was wrong in an instant.
Mary shook her head, and the words in the video news suddenly came to her mind.
She felt a wave of frustration and shook her head."I don't think they even know what's going on yet. I'm afraid that the things they've told you are just for show. Let's find Hugh and Herman first!"
There were many people coming and going on the mountain path. Most of them were running.
Some were wearing swimsuits, some were wearing t-shirts, and most of them were barefoot.
The crowd gradually became bigger and more chaotic. Screams and noises could be heard, and of course, there were also cries.
"My Children! My two children are still in the hot spring! have any of you seen them? My Children -"
A woman who had lost control of her emotions sat down in the middle of the road, clutching her face as she broke down in tears.
Mary immediately went over to help her up.
"What's wrong?"
The woman seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw, and finally had a sliver of strength, "We stayed at the Star Hotel, and there was only one hot spring in the hotel. My two children went down to play after eating. I just found out that there was an accident and quickly came down... but the hot spring was full of corpses... the salvage team took the corpses and left; I couldn't find my children... Can you help me? Help me find my children!"
The woman held Mary's hand and refused to let go. Monroe shook his head at Mary. Obviously, they couldn't help her at the moment.
"Let me take you to the hotel management first! They will confirm the identity of the body after they salvage it!"
Mary couldn't leave the woman alone completely. At least she could help each and every one of them.
Monroe looked at Mary and Mary explained, "Anyway, we have to go down. Take her for a ride. I don't think she has any strength left. I don't know how she got squeezed here!"
Mary made up her mind, and Monroe agreed.
Soon, the two of them led the woman through the noisy crowd and arrived at the star hotel.
Monroe grabbed a waiter and handed the woman to the waiter, then quickly pulled Mary away.
The two of them were about to leave the hall when they saw Herman.
Mary's eyes were filled with surprise."Herman! Here!"
Mary waved her hand and rushed over. Herman grabbed her."Why are you here? Monroe? You're all here?"
Mary explained, "There was an accident. We sent people to look for you and Hugh. No one came back. We were so worried that we had to come down to look for you. Where's Hugh?"
Herman's expression did not look good."Hugh and I got separated in the square. I'm also looking for him."
Monroe saw two of his own people behind Herman. Obviously, these two people had been helping to find Hugh and protecting Herman.
"Let's go and find him together!"
Monroe gave the order and the group hurried out.
The further they went, the more tragic it became.
Some women had lost their husbands, some husbands had lost their wives, some had lost their children, and some children had lost their parents...
Mary could not bear to watch any longer. Monroe suddenly reached out to cover her eyes and pulled her into his arms.
"Don't look if you don't want to."
