Monroe smiled wryly when he saw that she was talking nonsense again.

She didn't seem to mind that he had offended her last night.

Was she not angry, or… did she not care?

Or did she not understand what he was doing?

Monroe was in a bad mood, a VERY bad mood.

After going out for a while, he didn't get any better.

Jim enthusiastically took the food out of the trunk. “The town is in a better condition, so we bought a lot of food. Come on, everyone!”

Mary quickly went over and sat down with everyone. She picked up her breakfast and started eating.

“Is there any signal in town?” Mary was very concerned about this question.

Sam, who was next to Jim, frowned and shook his head. “No. The Boss said that the base stations and signal towers nearby might have been destroyed. We might have to drive forward until we reach the largest city nearby, and then take a plane back to New York!”

As they spoke, they did not seem worried at all, and happily finished their breakfast.

After eating their fill, everyone was ready to set off.

Monroe had originally planned to let Adela drive the beetle, but when he saw Mary was about to sit in the pa.s.senger seat, he suddenly called her back.

“You, sit next to me, Jim, go over!”

So, Jim and Adela, the two men, sat in the beetle and looked at each other.

“Oh s.h.i.+t! Why you? I thought it would be the lovely and beautiful Miss Mary!”

Adela punched the steering wheel gloomily.

Jim flexed his biceps. “I thought I could sit in the pa.s.senger seat with the Boss!”

Adela flexed his own his biceps without a beat. “You must be too ugly and have bad breath! That's why the Boss won't let you sit in the pa.s.senger seat!”

Jim took off his T-s.h.i.+rt and revealed the brown bear tattooed on his chest, “Why don't you say you're ugly? That's why the Boss doesn't want you to get close to our lovely Lady Mary!”

“You're ugly!”

“You're ugly!”

“Your breath stinks!”

“Your breath stinks!”

The two people in the car argued childishly.

Mary, who had already left, looked at Adela and Jim who had taken off their clothes in the beetle with a strange look and asked the other three people behind them, “What are they doing?”

The three of them answered in unison with no expression on their faces, “Maybe they all have bad breath!”

The car drove for another five hours.

Finally, they arrived at Warren City, which was relatively large.

The city seemed to be not as affected by the volcano and the earthquake, and was still functioning as normal.

Although they saw many collapsed houses along the way, for a large city, the damage was small-scale. This discovery made Mary and the others overjoyed.

As soon as they had entered the city, there had been a booth set up for the victims, and there had been a number of cars waiting in line for aid. Everyone's faces were filled with confusion, sadness, and relief.

Mary took out her cell phone and found that it finally had a signal.

Everyone had received long-awaited messages, all from their loved ones.

Mary had also received a message from Diana that said, “Hey, honey, Henry and I are in Greece right now, and we heard that there was a major volcanic eruption in Hearth National Park. Is New York okay?”

Mary replied saying, “No Mom, everything is fine.”.

Then there was a text from her dad, it was the same.

Mary also replied to his.

There was also a text from her online chat. Just as Mary was about to reply, Herman called.

Mary immediately answered. “Hey, Herman, are you back in New York?”

Herman was slow for a moment before he shouted emotionally, “Mary! Is that really you!? I mean… is the line really connected? Oh, thank G.o.d! Thank G.o.d! We were going crazy! Where are you and Monroe? How are you? Are you hurt? I heard there was an earthquake in the northwest direction! The earthquake in New York was very strong, what about on your end?”
