All trains and flights to the Norvania frontier had been suspended. Renting a car was the only option Mila and Phoebe had. They took turns at the wheel for the drive to the Norvania frontier.
Meanwhile, Mila tried to call Nathan again and again, but there was no answer. After an all- night drive, they were finally at the destination the next morning. Soldiers manning the checkpoint stopped them.
The surroundings were nothing short of apocalyptic. Ambulances and rescue vehicles were coming and going. The sky was a murky grayish purple, and everyone was wearing dust masks.

Phoebe sighed and turned the car around to leave, but suddenly, she pointed to the vehicles ahead. “Mila, those are vehicles from the military base.”

The earth seemed to fall silent for a moment. Mila’s slender figure by the roadside was in stark contrast to such a harsh and remote place.
She was dressed in a white shirt, a pair of jeans, and white shoes. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and she wore a mask that showed only her eyes, which met Nathan’s.
