Chapter 512 An Impossible Task 

Finished 

She shouldn’t have run. She should have stood her ground and fought them with her hatchet, instead of being chased by them. 

She also regretted rejecting Kallum’s offer to accompany her when they left. If he had been by her side or if she had held onto him when they got off the car, would any of this have happened? 

The phone light went out, leaving her surrounded by darkness. She quickly turned on the flashlight, illuminating the small space. 

When the hole wasn’t blocked before, water had already seeped into the slanted underground pit, soaking her legs below the knees. It felt like she was already a corpse… 

Sitting there, with water soaking half her body, she illuminated the phone once again, revealing the time: eight o’clock. 

She should be able to survive until nine o’clock with the air here, but she was getting closer to the mountaintop. Kallum needed to find suitable tools, transport them, and dig to rescue her. It seemed impossible to do all this within an hour. 

Calista calculated, her heart growing heavier. She wondered if she would die here this time. 

If she did, would someone come to collect her body? 

After receiving Calista’s message, Kallum still felt a chill run down his spine and was reluctant to face it despite being mentally prepared. 

She was underground, and with the rain continuing, more mud and debris would pile up. Her survival space might shrink further, and he probably had less than an hour to save her. 

Within an hour, how could he rescue his beloved in the rain before another mudslide were to happen? 

Kallum had never been stumped by anything before, but now he felt utterly helpless. As his fingers lightly touched the ground, his expression was one of utter despair

He wished for the rain to cease, for the mudslide to stop its relentless flow. He yearned for the plane to speed up, or for her to have just a bit more time. That way, he could figure out a plan and devise a 

solution. 

“Mr. Kallum….” When Ryder and others caught up, Kallum looked at him, stood up, and calmly ordered, “Inform them that within ten minutes, I want to see handheld digging machines and a dozen strong young 

men.” 

Ryder glanced at him and hurried off. Within such a short time, the airplane would be the fastest, but ten 

minutes… 

Kallum walked to the edge of the mudslide. Calista said the entrance was buried by the mudslide. To prevent more mud from seeping down, he had to cut off the source. 

After doing so, he could begin the rescue operation. Large–scale machinery would be fast, but transportation would take top long. Manual excavation would be slower, but it was the fastest method to

He could do this. It shouldn’t be a problem. 

So before that, he had to find the entrance to the pit.

Fortunately, when he found the entrance, the airplane finally arrived. With various rescue tools being brought up by the airplane, Kallum felt a surge of hope. 

After the rescue personnel dropped tools from the sky and slid down from the airplane along the ropes, a dozen people were in place, and the rescue operation began in full swing. More than ten or twenty minutes had passed since Calista was buried. Her time was running out. 

Everyone exerted all their strength to dig. The sound of electric tools was reassuring at this moment. Of course, some people used basic tools like shovels to remove mud and debris. After Kallum arranged for subsequent planes to lift large–scale excavation equipment, he put down his phone, ready to help, but was stopped by Ryder. 

“Mr. Kallum. Ms. Calista must be very scared right now. Encouraging her to hold on is more important than anything else.” 

Rainwater flowed down Kallum’s chin incessantly. He had arranged everything, but he absolutely couldn’t stand by. 

“We’re rescuing my wife.” He emphasized the word ‘my‘ 

“Only I can save my wife.” 

Hearing this, Ryder couldn’t stop him. 

Under Kallum’s command, a continuous stream of supplies was transported up the mountain by the airplane, making the area brightly lit even in the rain. 

How long was a distance of ten meters? 

About twenty steps, about half a minute, and about two or three stories. 

But at this moment, Kallum felt that ten meters was equivalent to a lifetime. It seemed that no matter how they dug, there was no end in sight. 

In reality, there were numerous modern tools available for excavation. However, how could one find them within an hour? And even if found, how could they be transported quickly? Once transported, could she afford to wait? After much contemplation, which felt like an eternity yet was only a moment, Kallum decided to begin with manual excavation while waiting for larger equipment. This was undeniably the fastest and most effective approach. 

However, the rain made their excavation work significantly difficult. Like everyone else, Kallum had rolled up his suit trousers and stood ankle–deep in the muddy water. He diligently used a shovel to clear away the mud and rocks that had been shattered next to the tools

He had never been in such disarray, nor had he ever endured such hardship. But as long as he could save her, it was all worth it. 

Thankfully, everyone was putting in their best effort. Coupled with the convenience of the tools, the excavation progressed swiftly. However, a new situation arose with Calista.
