Yonas was slumped over the steering wheel, his forehead glistening with sweat.
"Yonas!" she called out weakly. The Cayenne's window was shattered, and the door was deeply dented. The airbags in Yonas's car had deployed, pinning him inside. "Yonas! Wake up!"
After countless calls, Yonas finally opened his eyes and tried to move. It was tough to roll his body around in the airbag-filled cabin, and he felt a sharp pain in his thigh. Hoarsely, he said, "Yasmine, I'm fine, how about you?" In that moment, Yasmine completely forgot everything from before. Her eyes reddened as she looked at Yonas, "I'm fine. How will you get out?" "Did you call for call for help?" Yonas asked.
Yasmine took out her phone but found there was no signal at all, so she couldn't make a call for help. "No signal," she said. Earlier on the bridge, her phone had been going in and out of service.
of them had already fallen, and the other had tipped over. Both cars undoubtedly had signal jamming devices inside.
Chasing after after her car, one of Yasmine looked over at Yonas. His upper body was compressed by the airbags, while his lower body was completely pinned beneath it. "Get out, quickly," Yasmine's voice trembled.
Yonas forced a smile at her, "Yasmine, don't be scared. I'll get out soon." He struggled, trying to free up some space by pushing against the airbags, hoping to wiggle out. Unfortunately, he couldn't move. Yonas smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, I will get out." While trying to reassure Yasmine, he glanced with a bitter smile at his trapped leg. He knew his body well; his right foot was stuck in the deformed vehicle chassis. From last night until now a solid three to four hours had passed, and his leg was still in that same position. He couldn't quite feel his right leg anymore, blood circulation might have been cut off. he thought to himself mockingly. After struggling for quite a while, as if resigning to his fate, Yonas said, "Yasmine, you should leave now. I'm not sure when those people will wake up. Hurry and get out of here." hy?" Yasmine suddenly blurted out.
was startled, unclear about what she meant, "What?"
"Why did you suddenly appear? Why did you come knowing it was dangerous? Why did you... rush in so recklessly?"
Yonas seemed to have never thought about such a question. "It's instinct," he said. Instinctively, he drove over as soon as he heard the call, and instinctively, he would smash into the incoming car before it could hit Yasmine. It was simply because he didn't want her to get hurt. Yasmine stopped talking, her fiery eyes fixed on the car door. She picked up a tree branch from the ground, trying to pry it open, but her strength was too small to budge it at all.
"Just go, don't waste your energy. Leave here and head west for an hour, you'll reach a gas station, and there will definitely be someone on duty. Ask them for help." He paused before continuing, "Once you get out, call Chuck and let him know I'm here. If you still hate me, you can just leave me behind" He lowered his gaze slightly, placing his hand on his right leg, gently rubbing it to ease the pressure As the minutes ticked by, his heart grew heavy and the small glimmer of hope started to fade with the silence, leaving him with a dull ache. Even though Yasmine hadn't said anything, he already knew what she was about to say. She remained silent, eyes showing no trace of emotion.

Yonas gave a wry smile, "Go on, I know you don't want to, but don't worry about me. Be careful of Irene once you're out. I suspect she's behind all this, Yasmine, she's far more dangerous than you think." It was probably the last reminder he could give, yet despite this, Yasmine still didn't say a word.
His heart felt as if it had been stabbed twice. The moon shone in the sky, slowly drifting westward. In the darkness, Yasmine suddenly looked up, her eyes already filled with tears that streamed down her face. "Yonas, never say something like that." "What did I say?" Yonas asked.
Yasmine, tears glistening in her eyes, laughed out loud, "Don't say you don't care. Huh, how could you not care!" Yasmine found a steel pipe in her car's trunk, propped open the car door, and with a strong push, opened it.
Only then did she see Yonas's leg, trapped inside, with bloody scratches. "Yonas!" she exclaimed.
Yonas chuckled wryly, "I wasn't lying. I really need someone to rescue me this time. I'm counting on you."

Yasmine lifted her head as the breeze brushed against her cheek. She was about to make a bold decision. If she left Yonas here, he wouldn't be able to escape if wild animals appeared. But if she didn't go, without a signal, no one would ever know. She glanced at Yonas's leg. S "Shift to the side a bit!" Yonas didn't quite understand, but he complied, moving his body to the other side.
Yasmine picked up a stone nearby and said coldly to Yonas, "Bear with it!"
She
e fiercely struck the panel trapping Yonas's leg and after more than ten tries, she removed it. As it broke, the panel pressed against Yonas's leg, leaving another scratch. "Ugh," he groaned quietly.
After rescuing the person, Yasmine helped Yonas up, and they began to walk down the mountain. Yonas was in a haze, plagued by intense pain. He leaned on Yasmine as they descended the steep path, the air heavy with moisture. Supporting each other, the two struggled on after the heart-pounding chase. Yasmine's body was covered in wounds. Yonas suddenly wished time could stop, to linger in this moment forever.
That night, Yasmine helped Yonas down the mountain, heading west. It took them over an hour to get out. Just as they stepped out from the mountain's shadow, their phones began to ring incessantly. Yasmine had calls from Lucy and Chuck, while Yonas had over forty missed calls - from Nathan, the Russell family, and of course, Chuck too. you been?"
Yonas didn't have time to call everyone back before Chuck's call connected, "Yonas! Where have Yonas quickly said the important stuff, knowing his phone's battery was almost dead. Within a few minutes, it shut itself off. After nearly two hours of walking, Yasmine, already hurting from a fierce impact, couldn't hold on any longer. She saw the gas station lights ahead and fainted straightaway. Yonas wasn't much better; he reached the gas station and then lost consciousness too.
After waking up again, Yonas found himself lying on a hospital bed. He struggled to lift his head and noticed that his right leg was bandaged. Next to him, Chuck was rapidly typing away on his phone.
