At this time, the road down the mountain had been broken into two parts. The reason was simple: the heavy rain caused the water volume in the river on the mountain to surge, flowing directly down the mountain and destroying the bridge down the mountain.

Faced with the bridge with a broken section that was five or six meters long, everyone was dumbfounded. You looked at me, I looked at you, and no one knew what to do.

It was Nell who spoke first: "Are we all unable to go back?"

Tang Shiyao took over the conversation: "It seems that this road is not feasible. Let's try to find another way. Does anyone know of any other way down the mountain?"

Joe looked at Andy and Jason, and said hesitantly: "It seems that there is no more."

Although there is a small path down the mountain, Andy and his friends said that path was also flooded.

Tonghua stepped forward and said, "Don't worry. If this road doesn't work, we can just go up the mountain. There must be a way down from the other side."

When they just gathered together, Tonghua remembered that Max had told him about his camping plan. He planned to go up the mountain from this side, camp along the way, continue forward, and then go down the mountain from the other side.

Therefore, even if this road is not feasible, the worst that can happen is to take a longer detour and go down the mountain from the other side.

But who knew that Tonghua's suggestion would immediately be opposed by Andy: "No! We can't go over the other side of the mountain!"

Andy's tone was strong and resolute, which aroused Tang Shiyao's curiosity. She asked directly, "Since there is a road, why can't we go that way?"

Andy's face showed a hint of hesitation: "This..."

Seeing that several other pairs of eyes were staring at her, Andy was a little overwhelmed. She had not yet figured out what excuse to make up to get away with this matter. After all, they had already been to the other side of the mountain before, but because of a landslide on the top of the mountain, a mudslide formed, blocking the road on the other side, so they had to go down the mountain.

If it cannot be concealed, when Tonghua and the others drive back and take a look, they will naturally know what happened and know that what they said about Max was false.

As the situation became urgent, Andy, without a good excuse, began to look to Jason for help.

When the latter received this look, he immediately took over the conversation: "In fact, the road up the mountain has been blocked."

"What?!"

"What?!"

When these words were spoken, Tong Hua and Tang Shiyao, two people who were unaware of the situation, were extremely surprised. But what surprised Tang Shiyao even more was that Nell also looked very surprised, as if he was surprised that Jason would say such a thing. However, Nell quickly restrained his expression.

Only Tang Shiyao saw this change.

Jason put on a sad face again and said, "Actually, Max arranged for us to leave. After I went up the mountain alone, I felt very uneasy. I always felt that something might happen. I didn't expect..." Jason paused and said, "I called him several times and sent him many messages, but he didn't respond... So we planned to turn back, but on the way up the mountain, we saw a huge mudslide rushing towards us, so we had to drive away as fast as we could..."

Tang Shiyao asked anxiously, "What happened after you left? Did you see Max?!"

Jason just uttered two words: "Sorry."

Although it was only two short words, Tang Shiyao understood what happened without him explaining it in detail.

The mudslide was moving so fast, and Max was walking up the mountain alone, so he would have been swallowed up by the mudslide long ago.

Thinking of this, Tang Shiyao seemed to have lost her soul. She turned around and walked away alone. Back to the car, she took out her cell phone and continued to call Max.

Tonghua was worried that Tang Shiyao was upset, so she followed her back to the car. Seeing Tang Shiyao's anxious face, she made several calls in a row, but no one answered the phone. Tang Shiyao asked Tonghua helplessly, "Tongtong, do you think what they said is true? Is Max really dead?"

Tang Shiyao couldn't believe it. Max had met with them not long ago, but who would have thought that just a few hours later, she would hear such news again.

No one can bear it that a life that was still alive a few hours ago was lost because of the changes in nature.

Tonghua was naturally filled with emotion. Although she and Max had only known each other for a short time, Max gave people a very good impression, being very reliable and calm. Who would have known that something like this would happen?

Seeing Tang Shiyao and Tonghua walking away and returning to the car, Nell was the first to get impatient. He directly questioned Jason: "Why did you lie like this? Why couldn't you tell them the truth?!"

Jason gave Nell a contemptuous look. "If I tell you how Max died, we might all end up in jail when we return. I still have a bright future ahead of me, and I can't let this incident ruin my life!"

"But Max got into trouble because he was trying to save us all. After all, when we get back, we should immediately send someone to look for Max. What if he's still alive?"

Andy pulled Nell away and said, "You're crazy! The best outcome right now is that after we go back, everyone keeps their mouths shut and pretends this never happened. You're actually thinking of sending someone to look for Max. What if the police find out Max didn't die in an accident? I don't want to get myself into trouble!"

Joe on the side said hesitantly: "If we don't want to get into trouble, why don't we notify Max's family anonymously and let them handle Max's funeral? After all, Max's accident happened because of us."

Jason scolded him directly, "Stupid! Joe, don't forget that you were involved in the car escape just now when Max was left behind. If anyone traces it back to us, I will definitely expose you and make sure you don't have an easy time!"

This threat completely frightened Qiao. She begged hard, "This is none of my business! I was just possessed by a ghost. Don't worry, Jason, I will never spread this matter. You have to believe me!"

Seeing that Joe was obedient, Jason was satisfied. Now Jason, Andy and Joe were on the same front, with only Nell disagreeing with them.

Seeing that Nell still disagreed with calling Max's accident an accident, Jason gave Fairy a sinister look in the car and threatened Nell fiercely: "If you don't agree with our decision, I will take this opportunity to kill that woman. She can't leave here right now!"

"No! You absolutely cannot do this!"

At one point, Nell accidentally yelled out, which caught Fairy's attention.

After Tonghua comforted Tang Shiyao, she came over and asked, "Why can't you do this?"
