NovelAppChills went down Elliot's spine when he saw the photo.
"Each car can only carry eight people per trip, but there were at least twenty people in the car when it fell," said the person in
charge. "The cable car stopped halfway due to the overload. While the car stalled, the power went out, and we were waiting for the
technical department to fix it, but they too were affected by the avalanche."
After hearing what the person in charge had to say, Avery asked sternly, "Have you rescued the people on the cable car yet?!"
The person shook his head. "The electricity hasn'te back yet. My supervisor said this is beyond their capability, and they
needed to check with the higher-ups..."
"You are all useless!" Elliot roared. "Even if those tourists survived the avalanche, they would be crushed or frozen to death in that
car!"
"Mr. Foster, we want to get them out of there as well, but we don't have enough manpower and resources to proceed with the
rescue work." The person in charge bowed his head guiltily. "I've already looked into the number of tourists who entered the site
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoday and the initial estimate shows that... there are at least three hundred people under the snow on the mountain right now..."
"When you looked into the visitors’ list, did you see my daughter and Eric Santos' names?!" Avery clenched her fists nervously.
"Um... I'll look into it right now... It's been a mess so | didn't pay attention to the names of the visitors... What's your daughter's
name?" The person's satellite phone had not ceased ringing as he talked to them, and in the end, he simply handed it to his
assistant.
Half an hour later, Hayden also arrived at Cambrode, but he was not alone.
He brought the most experienced rescue team with him. He had also brought technicians that werework specialists from
Bridgedale, and they immediately joined forces with the local rescue team upon his arrival.
"Mom, Dad, why don't | send you back to the hotel for now?" Hayden's heart ached when he saw how exhausted his parents
looked. "I will get Layla out."
"I'm not tired," Avery said without hesitation. "We need to get the electricity back on while it's still light out, or we won't be able to
rescue them when night falls! It was critical that they rescued them last night, but all they had done was sleep! They didn't do a
thing because there wasn't any power!"
Tears instantly welled in her eyes.
"Mom, I've brought technicians with me. I'm sure that the electricity wille back up before it turns dark!" Hayden wiped away
her tears. "With the power back up, the inte wille back. Once connection resumes, | will be able to locate Layla's phone."
Avery glanced at the mountain outside the window, her heart twisting in fear and despair.
"It will be one day and one night in total now. How could someone survive under such cold weather? If we don't get Layla out as
soon as possible, she won't survive!"
"The person in charge said that there were at least three hundred people up there when the avalanche took place... There aren't
enough members in the Cambrode rescue team to rescue everyone in time. | think we should hire professional mountain climbers
for help. A lot of people who climb mountains as a hobby might actually be far more experienced than the government's rescue
team," Elliot said.

"I'll ask Mike!" Avery knew that Mike had joined hikers' groups and realized he might be able to help.
She took out her phone to make the call, only to realize that there was no signal on her phone.
"He knows what happened to Layla. Uncle Chad and him should be on their way here by now," Hayden said.
"Maybe the locals can help as well," Elliot said.
"Calm down, Elliot. | don't want anyone else to die from this. If the locals risk their lives for money, it's going to be chaotic." Avery
did not want the situation to get out of hand.
"I'm not going to ask everyone to climb the mountain! They can help from the ground as well! We will need people to help transfer
the bodies and the injured. We can't just rely on the medical team here!"
Avery felt lightheaded as despair overwhelmed her.
"Mom, Dad, letget you back to the hotel! | will implement all the ideas you mentioned. | promise that | will update you before it
turns dark," Hayden said and looked at Elliot. "Dad, take Mom back. She's tired."
