PopularNovelChapter 1437: 1437. You haven't forgottenyet Now that they're trapped here, they'll have to rely on her family's island owner to figure out a way. Luckily, the satellite phone isn't affected by ground base stations; it connects directly via satellite.
Even in this mountainous region without base station coverage, communication is still possible.
This was her first tcontacting Adam Jones since entering the mountain. When she turned on the phone, she discovered several missed calls, all from Adam.
She quickly redialed, and the call was picked up after just two rings.
"Elly, are you okay?" From the other end of the line cAdam's anxious voice, accompanied by the sound of thunder and helicopter rotors.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElly hesitated for a moment. "Adam, you... Ah!!" With a sudden scream, the call was cut off. On the helicopter, Adam's expression instantly changed. Shouting into the satellite phone, he yelled, "Elly! Elly!" But all that cfrom the other end was the sound of a busy signal.
Adam's face turned ashen for a moment. Urging the helicopter pilot from the cockpit, he roared, "Faster!" At that moment, Elly felt a tremendous force hit her from behind, pushing her away. Then, she fell into a sturdy embrace and tumbled down a steep slope alongside her rescuer.
Her hand scratched against tree branches, leaving several deep cuts on her arm, and the skin felt like it was being ripped apart.
The sudden turn of events left her momentarily dazed.
Looking up, she saw the mountain ahead of her collapsing in front of her eyes. If she'd been just a step slower, she would now be buried under that massive mudslide.
Elly's face turned pale in an instant. Suddenly realizing something, she quickly turned her head, only to be stunned by the sight of a handsface smeared with dirt.
"Ethan!" She couldn't suppress her exclamation.
Since his sudden departure in Antarctica, there had been no news of him-like he'd vanished off the face of the earth. Who would have thought she'd encounter him here? During the tumble, the impact had been immense, and Ethan, who had practically shielded Elly as they rolled down, sustained injuries far more severe than hers.
But he seemed indifferent to his wounds. Helping Elly stand up from the muddy ground, he appeared unfazed by the perilous environment around them. With cheerful ease, he grinned and said: "You haven't forgotten me, huh." Hearing this, Elly rolled her eyes at him. "Would it kill you to not joke around at a tlike this?" After regaining her composure, she started feeling the painful sting in her arm from the scratches left by the branches.
Glancing at her arm, several alarming wounds cinto view.
The layers of flesh were exposed, blood mixed with torn skin, and the pain caused her to let out a few involuntary cries.
"Hurts a lot?" Ethan's gentle voice sounded near her ear.
Elly turned to look at him. His injuries were worse and more numerous than hers.
Thinking back to when they rolled down earlier, Ethan had seemed to shield her the whole time, which was why her injuries were relatively minor.
But she still had several wounds. It was easy to imagine how badly Ethan must have been hurt.
Sparts of his injuries were covered by his sleeves, making them hard to see but she could guess their extent. "Thank you," She spoke, her emotions complicated as she thanked him.
Ethan smiled faintly, looking at her without saying a word.
Elly couldn't figure out what he was thinking. The landslide had directly trapped hetic and Ethan here; without a there was no way to get out.
