Chapter 512 An Impossible Task

She shouldn’t have run. She should have stood her ground and fought them with her hatchet, instead of being <b>chased </b>by them.
She also regretted rejecting Kallum’s offer to apany her when they left. If he had been by her side or if she had held onto him when they got off the car, would any of this have happened?
The phone light went out, leaving her surrounded by darkness. She quickly turned on the shlight, illuminating the small space.
When the hole wasn’t blocked before, water had already seeped into the nted underground pit, soaking her legs below the knees. It felt like she was already a corpse…
Sitting there, with water soaking half her body, she illuminated the phone once again, revealing the time: eight o’clock.
She should be able to survive until nine o’clock with the air here, but she was getting closer to the mountaintop. Kallum needed to find suitable tools, transport them, <b>and </b>dig to rescue her. It seemed impossible to do all this within an hour.
Calista calcted, her heart growing heavier. She wondered if she would die here this time.
If she did, would someonee to collect her body?
After receiving Calista’s message, Kallum still felt a chill run down <b>his </b>spine and was reluctant to face it despite being mentally prepared.
She was underground, and with the rain continuing, more mud and debris would pile up. Her survival space might shrink further<b>, </b><b>and </b>he probably had less than an hour to save her.
Within an hour, how could he rescue his beloved in the rain before another mudslide were to happen?
Kallum had never been stumped by anything before, but now he felt utterly helpless. As his fingers lightly touched the ground, his expression was one of utter despair<b>.</b>
He wished for the rain to cease, for the mudslide to stop its relentless flow. He yearned for the ne to speed up, or for her to have just a bit more time. That way, he could figure out a n and devise a
solution.
“Mr. Kallum….” When Ryder and others caught up, Kallum looked at him, stood up, and calmly ordered, “Inform them that within ten minutes, I want to see handheld digging machines and a dozen strong young
men.”
Ryder nced at him and hurried off. Within such a short time, the airne would be the fastest, but ten
minutes…
Kallum walked to the edge of the mudslide. Calista said the entrance was buried by the mudslide. To prevent more mud from seeping down, he had to cut off the source.
After doing so, he could begin <b>the </b>rescue operation. Large–scale machinery would be fast, but transportation would take top long. <b>Manual </b>excavation would be slower, but it was the fastest method to

He could do this. It shouldn’t be a problem.
So before that, he had to <b>find </b>the entrance to the pit.

Fortunately, when he found the entrance, the airne finally arrived. With various rescue tools being brought up by the airne, Kallum felt a surge of hope.
After the rescue personnel <b>dropped </b>tools from the sky and slid down from the airne along the ropes, a dozen people were in ce, and the rescue operation began in full swing. More than ten or twenty minutes had passed since Calista was buried. Her time was running out.
Everyone exerted all their strength to dig. The sound of electric tools was reassuring at <b>this </b>moment. Of course, some people used basic tools like shovels to remove mud and debris. After Kallum arranged for subsequent nes to liftrge–scale excavation equipment, he put down his <b>phone</b>, ready to help, but was stopped by Ryder.
“Mr. Kallum. Ms. Calista must be very scared right now. Encouraging her to hold on is more important than anything else.”
Rainwater flowed down Kallum’s chin incessantly. He had arranged everything, but he absolutely couldn’t stand by.
“We’re rescuing my wife.” He emphasized the word ‘my‘
“Only I can save my wife.”
Hearing this, Ryder couldn’t stop him.
Under Kallum’smand, a continuous stream of supplies <b>was </b>transported up the mountain by the airne, making the area brightly lit even in the rain.
How long <b>was </b><b>a </b>distance of ten meters?
About twenty steps, about half a minute, and about two or three stories.
But at this moment, Kallum felt that ten meters was equivalent to a lifetime. It seemed that no matter how they dug, there was no end in sight.
In reality, there were numerous modern tools avable for excavation. However, how could one find them within an hour? And even if found, how could they be transported quickly? Once transported, could she afford to wait? After much contemtion, which felt like an eternity yet was only a moment, Kallum decided to begin with manual excavation while waiting forrger equipment. This was undeniably the fastest and most effective approach.
However, the rain made their excavation work significantly difficult. Like everyone else, Kallum had rolled up his suit trousers and stood ankle–deep in the muddy water. He diligently used a shovel to clear away the mud and rocks that <b>had </b>been shattered next to the <b>tools</b>.
He had never been in such disarray, nor had he ever endured such hardship. But as long as he could save her, it was all worth it.
Thankfully, everyone was putting in their best effort. Coupled with the convenience of the tools, the excavation progressed swiftly. However, a new situation <b>arose </b>with Calista.
