That night, a nearby building suddenly collapsed. Its foundation had been corroded, leaving everything below the first floor completely hollow. The hundred or so people living inside all perished overnight. Not a single person was saved.
The residents of the high-rises were terrified and began to move to lower ground. Evelyn Ford decided to relocate to the villa complex. After she told Officer Graham and the others, everyone agreed. Chase Underwood and Serena Lynch also decided to move with them.
There were plenty of houses in the villa complex, but by the time they arrived, most were already occupied. Officer Graham found an empty villa at the far edge. All its doors and windows were missing, but its location on the periphery was actually a plus—it was both quiet and secure.
