"Oh, oh!"
He hurriedly unlocked the car for Nathalie Quinlan.
The girl tugged at her brim, her gaze rather irritated, but she said nothing, quickly bent down, and got into the car after opening the door.
Only then did he turn to look at the person who got in, stamring, "Nathalie, Nathalie, what brings you here?"
Nathalie Quinlan sat in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and glanced at him coolly at his words.
"...," Sadam Vinson awkwardly touched his nose, explaining dryly, "I... I was just worried you’d be concerned and didn’t dare tell you. I didn’t purposely keep it from you."
"Mm." The girl leaned back in the passenger seat, nodded, and with a hint of hoarseness in her subdued voice, said, "Let’s get going."
Driving from Beijing to Sablehaven would take a few hours.
Nathalie Quinlan didn’t waste words with Sadam Vinson, only gave a simple greeting to Brian Bonette and Govert Griffin, then leaned back in her seat, looking sickly and not speaking much.
Sadam Vinson, feeling guilty, tried to bring up various topics along the way.
But unfortunately, Nathalie Quinlan didn’t pay him much attention.
She kept her eyes closed, resting, leading Sadam Vinson to quiet down and finally fall silent...

Sablehaven, Ergency Rescue Office.
Jeremiah Bonette was communicating with the technical staff: "How is it? Still can’t get in touch with inside?"
A computer was placed in front of the technician, who was rapidly typing out a series of codes, but the situation was not hopeful.
"No, the base station inside was destroyed by the flash flood, and there’s no way to send signals unless soone inside fixes the signal station."
"..."
Sablehaven was still experiencing heavy rain, and in such extre weather, even helicopters couldn’t go in, let alone have soone fix the base station.
Jeremiah Bonette rubbed his temples, urging the technicians to attempt sending a signal inside again.
Even if they couldn’t send a signal inside, they should at least try to locate the exact position of the people inside.
The technician’s face was grave, unable to guarantee pinpointing the exact location, only saying, "Mr. Bonette, I’ll do my best."
"But under these conditions, it’s very difficult to pinpoint a precise location unless there’s a top-tier expert stationed here, then maybe..."
They were already absolute experts in this field.
But experts are ranked nine levels, and their talent had limits, allowing for only so much skill.
As Jeremiah Bonette heard this, he couldn’t help but recall the girl he t in Beijing before; if that girl were here, she might be able to locate Alfred Garland and the others...
As he was thinking this.
Carn Radcliff ca in from outside, wearing a stern expression, looking very displeased: "Mr. Bonette, Mr. Bonette just sent a ssage saying they’re bringing an additional person over... I was originally against them coming; isn’t this just causing more trouble? Them being here is already troubleso enough, and now they’re bringing one more person! What for, is this a zoo for them to visit?"
"He wants to bring another person?" Jeremiah Bonette didn’t expect that it was enough for Brian Bonette to co alone, and now he was bringing soone else, giving him a headache, asking, "When will they arrive?"
Carn Radcliff, known for his fairness, didn’t show any friendliness, even though the visitor was Brian Bonette, saying flatly, "They should be arriving soon? I see the ssage he sent was two hours ago. If they started then, they should be arriving soon!"
Carn Radcliff’s tone was intensified, with an obviously displeased face.
In a very resentful tone: "I don’t even know who Mr. Bonette is bringing along this ti!"
