The vehicles had been on the road for over two hours when they encountered a landslide. Everyone got out with hoes and shovels and began to clear the road.
The temperature remained at eighty-six degrees Fahrenheit, showing no signs of dropping or rising.
The landslide was quite extensive, and it took them over an hour to clear it.
Once they were back on the road, Ronan Kendrick took the wheel, and Evelyn Ford settled into the passenger seat for a nap.
By the time she woke up, they had arrived in Sheridan City. It was already 7:30 PM. They saw a sign with four large words: "Welcome to Sheridan City." The sight brought them no joy, for behind it lay nothing but ruins, scorched black by a massive fire.
The vehicles couldn't enter the city, so they had to find a relatively flat area to park. Evelyn Ford took out a mask and put it on; the air was thick with black ash and had a choking smell.
