Clutching her phone, she glanced down at her left hand.
The wound hadn’t stopped bleeding.
Her blood was a vivid red.
It was slightly blinding.
In the afternoon, the rain lightened up a bit.
Flossie Wright had checked out of her room.
Donning a jacket with a hood, she aimlessly wandered, meeting various contacts.
Even though she was half-awake in the morning, she clearly heard and remembered the content of the phone call.
[Mission Two: Bring useful information to Chengming Locksmith’s store for an exchange in three days.]
Useful information naturally referred to the "drug trafficking gang." Specifically, it was the "drug trafficking gang" arranged by the Forces in the city.
The mission was not difficult.
But, for the moment, Flossie Wright was not in the mood.
In a short span, the "Vernon Earthquake" had seized the public’s attention. She had only walked a few streets before overhearing numerous discussions on the topic.
Anxiety, worry, sighs.
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
No one could fight against a natural disaster.
Being citizens of a nation, they could not help but worry, even if they were not directly affected.
Five in the afternoon.
The drizzle continued, growing a bit heavier.
Flossie Wright walked into a noodle restaurant.
"Good... lady, how can I help you?"
The person greeting her was a female waiter who initially wanted to address her with "handsome", but on realizing her blunder, she quickly corrected herself.
"Beef noodles."
Flossie sat down and answered in a brief manner.
The waitress made a sheepish response, but she couldn’t help stealing a few more glances at Flossie.
Flossie wore a black hooded tracksuit, open to reveal a white t-shirt underneath. Her hood was down, and her clothes were damp from the rain. Her hair, though, was dry.
Below, she wore black jeans outlining her long, beautiful legs, paired with black sneakers.
It was a casual outfit.
Tall, slender, it was no wonder she was mistaken for a male.
This woman was attractive.
Just as this thought crossed the waitress’s mind, she noted Flossie’s order and left.
While waiting for her order, Flossie Wright pulled out her phone, absent-mindedly browsing the news.
The news of the "Vernon Earthquake" was the headline on every news outlet, revealing gut-wrenching images of the disaster-struck area.
After a brief hesitation, Flossie Wright clicked on the news.
The scenes were more impactful than the words: devastation, sorrow, desolation, and...
Rescue efforts.
Only toward the end did Flossie realize that the government was sending substantial aid.
With maximum effort and minimum delay, they were striving to rescue that piece of abandoned land.
This nation was...
Becoming better, compared to her memories.
"Do you know anyone in Vernon?"
A question popped up from her side. It was from the waitress who served the beef noodles.
She had caught a glimpse of Flossie’s phone and asked casually.
Flossie replied.
Upon placing the beef noodles on the table, the waitress had a moment’s pause.
Standing upright, she looked cautiously at Flossie and whispered, "Have you...uh, been able to get in touch with them?"
"The people you know there."
"I don’t know." Flossie replied, picking up her chopsticks.
"I lost their contact information."
Breaking open a pair of chopsticks, Flossie responded indifferently, appearing somewhat unbothered.
