There were still people at the school who needed to be evacuated, and he intended to help.
At Dongjiang First Middle School, the air-raid siren had long since fallen silent.
A large number of still-shaken students were streaming out from the underground shelter, their faces etched with confusion and lingering fear.
In the clamor of the aftermath, no one noticed Lin Ye.
He didn't linger at the school. He cut through the crowd and went straight home.
He pushed open the door to find the house empty.
His mother was probably still at work, and his sister wasn't back yet either.
Lin Ye took out his phone and called his mother.
"Hello, Xiaoye? Are you okay? The city-wide alarm went off just now, it scared me to death!" His mother's concerned and anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
"I'm fine, Mom. I just got out of the school shelter. Are you all right?"
