Chapter 1652
But she knew Wesley wouldn’t be here. He had been promoted, and wouldn’t be one of the first responders.
Blair blew on her palms to warm them. Ignoring the weeping girl beside her, she opened WeChat. Despite the lack of signal, she clicked
Wesley’s dialog box and typed, “Maybe this is the Last time you’ll hear from me. I regret everything. I regret having gone abroad. We didn’t even talk once when I was in London. It doesn’t matter whether you Love me or not. There will be no Blair soon. No one to bother you anymore…”
She clicked the “send” button, but it didn’t work. She got the message saying, “You are offline. The message will be delivered when you are online.” She didn’t give up, but stood up and tried to find a place where there was signal.

Blair became dispirited when she saw this.
Her head was killing her. If it kept raining, she didn’t think she would be able to make it.
Two hours ago, a certain organization had received orders from their superiors. Wesley assembled a team of soldiers on the training ground as soon as he got the word.
When the heavily outfitted soldiers were ready, Wesley declared in a loud voice, “I’ve got an emergency rescue alert
South Mountain has caused disastrous torrential floods. Estimated rainfall is 18@ mm. There are more than a hundred people trapped on the trails. We’re the second string of search and rescue operations. They got some of them to safety. Now it’s up to us! Count off!”

“Two!”
“Three!”
After that, Wesley reported over the intercom, “Sir, we’re ready!”
“Good! Wesley, head to the South Mountain to save them now! There are approximately 103 people trapped at 914 meters. A rock-fall caused flash flooding at 1.524 km and has trapped some hikers and climbers Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
We’ve sent helicopter recon teams. You’ll conduct ground ops. Make sure everyone is safe and sound.”
Wesley saluted sharply.
