Erica's hand tightly in his.
Just then, Carlos' roar came from outside.
"Get away from the door!"
The fire department wasn't near enough, and there was no water around them either. The temperature on the iron door was sizzling hot and couldn't simply be broken open by the people.
Looking forward to getting out, Matthew quickly put Erica in a flat position on the floor and barked an order, “Drive! Hit the door with the car!"
Carlos was ready to drive the car himself, but one bodyguard stopped him.
“Carlos, let me do this."
Looking at him, Carlos said decisively, “I'll save my son and daughter-in-Law myself."
He had given his son too little in his life. The least he could do was save them himself so he wouldn't feel so guilty.
The bodyguard tipped the others with a wink, and three of them immediately pulled Carlos away from the vehicle, restricting him.
Not wasting any time, the bodyguard quickly got into the car and speeded up towards the door.
Bang! It was a success!
As half of the house collapsed, Matthew hid himself in the corner with
Erica in his arms at a safe distance from the door. When the bricks fell down with the impact, he turned over and protected the woman with his body.
Despite getting hit by the burning bricks, he didn't seem to feel any pain on his back as he told the sleepy woman in surprise, “Rika, wake up! We're saved!"
Weakly, she opened her eyes to look at him. With her lips parted, she whispered a few words before closing her eyes again. Yet Matthew didn't get anything she said.
In fact, she just told him she couldn't hold on any Longer.
"Rika!" Matthew's voice exploded in her ears, but she couldn't hear anything.
Carrying her out of the house in his arms, Matthew put her in a car, which was intact, and drove her to the hospital as fast as he could.
Soon, a loud explosion sound came from behind them. Matthew didn't look back to check it out, but it was just the car used to hit the door that had exploded.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, Damian kept running until he realized he would only get more and more exhausted with time.
Therefore, he slowed down his pace to think of a way out of the situation.
Looking back to see if Barry was near, he realized he must be exhausted too. From that moment on, he walked onward as he paid more attention to his surroundings.
Unexpectedly, he found a large half meter deep hole and came up with an idea.
Pulling a branch from the side, he picked up a few larger leaves and did his best to cover up the hole. If one weren't looking carefully where he stepped, he wouldn't be able to see anything.
