Chapter 4

Unsurprisingly,

The "safe place" Tiffany mentioned was completely useless.

The sandstorm grew fiercer, visibility dropping to almost zero. Everyone's faces turned pale.

Every howl of the wind outside the window made their faces whiter.

"Are we really not going to get out?"

Susan asked, her face filled with despair, but only received a harsh, "Shut up!" from Mark.

If they hadn't insisted on recklessly venturing into the restricted zone, none of this would be happening.

The car swayed violently in the sandstorm, then finally sputtered to a halt.

Mark sat in the driver's seat, his face ashen, looking at the swirling sand in disbelief:

"How could this happen?"

Susan tried to push open the car door and run out, but Mark grabbed her arm.

"Are you crazy? Going out there is certain death!"

The others slumped in their seats, trembling.

This was a once-in-a-century super sandstorm. Encountering it meant certain death.

I watched them with a cold smile, feeling a surge of satisfaction.

Weren't you all so eager to come to this godforsaken place with Tiffany to die?

Why are you all cowering now?

At that moment, Mark forced himself to shout: "Don't panic! We still have the car. When the wind dies down a bit, we'll find somewhere to shelter."

Everyone's expressions immediately brightened.

But before they could do anything, a dull thud echoed in the distance.

A car not far away was overturned.

Mark's face turned even paler.

He finally couldn't hold it in and roared at Tiffany:

"This is all your fault! Insisting on taking these stupid maternity photos!"

Tiffany also lost her temper: "Weren't you the most enthusiastic about it? Now you're blaming me?"

"I was enthusiastic? You were the one who kept talking about 'Top Pregnancy Influencer' every single day!"

"Enough!" Susan shrieked, cutting them off. "Is this really the time to argue?!"

Tiffany huddled in the back seat, her eyes suddenly darting to me. She pointed and yelled:

"It's all Sarah's fault! She's a geological engineer, she must have known about the sandstorm early!"

"But she didn't stop us, she just wanted to watch us die!"
