Chapter 439 I Won't Leave You Behind!

Raegan snapped out of her drowsiness completely.

She abruptly sat up and saw everything on the cabinet falling down, along with a thunderous noise.

With no time to think, Raegan grabbed the door handle and attempted to rush outside.

But at this critical moment, the door seemed stuck, refusing to open no matter how much she pulled.

The area, being mountainous, lacked any hotels. Some volunteers were staying with the villagers, and others at the school.

Most of the school buildings were in poor condition, yet their metal doors were solid and didn't wear out easily. The problem was that the locks were old and sometimes needed someone from outside to open them if they got stuck. Trying to kick it open from the inside was useless. It had to be done from the outside.

Trapped, Raegan started banging on the metal door and yelling for help, "Hello? Can anyone hear me? I need help with this door!"

But outside, the sound of people running in panic drowned out her voice.

Then, an announcement came through the village's loudspeakers. "Attention, everyone! Due to an imminent landslide threat in the mountains, please evacuate to the village's central safe area immediately!"

Raegan realized it was a landslide causing the chaos, not an earthquake.

However, the school was right at the base of the mountain, placing it in the direct path of potential danger.

Raegan refused to give up and kept looking for something to pry the door open with.

But there were no crowbars or anything like that inside, and even when she tried using bench legs, they just broke, leaving her empty-handed.

In a rush, Raegan grabbed her phone to call the team leader. "Bang!" Then, suddenly, a loud noise filled the room, followed by the sound of a boot slamming against the metal door.

A voice from outside yelled, "Miss Foster, are you in there?"

Raegan yelled back, "Yes, I'm here! I'm right here!"

"Move back from the door," the voice instructed.

Raegan quickly moved away.
