NovelsBestChapter 908 To Share Life and Death The ground started shaking again, and rocks started dropping from the ceiling of the tunnel.
Selena had no choice but to brace herself, helping Raymond up, trying to find somewhere to hide.
But this tunnel was totally empty, not a single table or chair in sight. Occasionally, there was a door, but when she opened it, it was just a cliff, scaring her into a cold sweat. She realized how tough it had been for Raymond to mark the way along this path.
Following the marks to the outermost area, the ground shook even harder.
But in front of them was a coded door.
In this mountain, you could only get in, not out.
Just one door away was the outside, but if they messed up the code, they'd be stuck here forever, unless they decided to jump off the cliff, which was pretty much a death sentence. Raymond couldn't handle this anymore.

Raymond hugged her from behind, his sweat from the pain soaking his hair.
But he held her tight, like this was their last moment together.
"Selena, watch out!" He quickly pushed her away, and a big rock fell from above, hitting his head.
"Raymond!" Selena tore a strip of cloth from her clothes and pressed it against his wound.
But the bleeding wouldn't stop.
Selena's fingers trembled uncontrollably as she pressed on his head wound with one hand and pounded on the door with the other. "Open the door!" The ground kept shaking violently, with nowhere to hide. No one knew when the next rock would fall.
She quickly wiped the blood from her hands and kept trying the code.
A mechanical voice sounded, "Incorrect code. You have one more attempt." Selena's fingers trembled even more, hearing Raymond call her softly, "Selena." He no longer had the strength to stand, leaning against her.
Selena's tears fell in big drops as she held him, staring at the door in front of her.
"Selena, it's okay, the earthquake will be over soon." His voice was faint, his head resting in her lap.
Selena's palms were covered in blood. "Don't talk." She bit her lip, her eyes red as she stared at the door.
Raymond chuckled lightly, but even laughing hurt. "If I don't say it now, I might never get the chance. Selena, I..." Selena's fingers trembled as something flashed through her mind. She shakily entered a string of numbers. The mechanical voice sounded, "Correct code." The iron door slowly opened, and she stood there, pale and frozen.
Raymond seemed surprised too. 'How does Selena know the code?' Once she snapped out of it, she quickly helped him up and walked outside.
At least outside was spacious, with no falling rocks.
But many trees had fallen, and the earthquake continued.

Nowhere was safe; even without falling rocks, the occasional falling tree could still hit them. "Raymond, hang in there." Selena was very scared. Raymond hadn't spoken since earlier.
Selena's nose stung with emotion.
She was just about to help him over a a small hiNto find a flatter area.
But suddenly, there was an explosion in the forest, followed by the sound of rushing water. She looked back in fear, breaking out in a cold sweat.
A landslide had occurred, and floodwaters, carrying trees and soil, were rushing down.
Almost instinctively, she held Raymond tightly in her arms.
The next second, the floodwaters engulfed them, sweeping them away.
Just before being swept away, Selena felt a warm touch on her lips.
Raymond chuckled softly, saying nothing, yet it seemed like he had said everything.
