It was as if someone was whispering a sinister laugh by her ear, sending chills down her spine.
She quickly pulled out her phone from the inner pocket of her suit, her fingers already stiffening.
The screen lit up, showing the battery at only 3%.
She struggled to unlock the screen, but the phone seemed frozen.
It was sluggish, and no matter how she tapped, there was no response.
Snowflakes fell one after another onto the screen.
Quickly melting into droplets, then freezing into a thin layer of ice.
Vivian's heartbeat quickened.
She kept pressing the emergency call button, her fingertips almost numb.
The battery dropped from 3% to 2%, and the screen flickered darkly.
Her hand started to tremble, and a surge of despair welled up inside her.
After struggling for a minute, a signal connection finally flashed on the phone screen.
The call was going through.
A faint "beep" sounded in the earpiece, like the only hope in the darkness.
"Hello."
