Subtitles section

What these animals were doing was not normal.

That much was clear to everybody on the excursion.

Incidentally, a vet was also among them, and he was the only one who seemed to realize what was really going on.

He told everybody, this isn't good.

We should run.

But nobody seemed to care.

He realized that their lives might well be in his hands.

Mark looked at the sheep again, thinking that maybe he had gotten it wrong, but there was no doubt about it.

They were very restless and walking in circles.

He'd never seen this kind of behavior before, but he had heard and read about it enough to be able to recognize it.

Mark was at his wits end, thinking of a way to make everyone around him understand that they were truly in danger.

He finally just grabbed the guy who happened to be standing next to him by the shoulders.

I'm not kidding.

Trust me.

We have to leave.

Some others heard what he had told the man, and he finally had their attention.

Mark breathed a sigh of relief as he realized that they were all listening to him now.

He went on to repeat the same explanation he had given to that man a minute ago, and the others gasped as they heard what he told them.

They were starting to panic.

Absolute chaos broke out, and they all started speaking at once, obviously getting very worried.

Please, stay calm.

We have to leave right now, but panicking will only make things worse.

Stay calm and follow me.

I promise I will bring you to safety."

Mark continued.

He started walking back in the direction of where they just came from.

However, his speech wasn't working as well as he had hoped.

Most of the group followed him, but not everyone seemed to be convinced.

A few in the group stayed behind, rolling their eyes at the dramatic situation.

Aren't you coming with us?"

Somebody asked them, but they just shook their heads.

Nah, I'm not buying it.

It can't be that dangerous.

They are just sheep.

I'm hiking up that mountain with or without the rest of you.

After a few minutes, he noticed that the largest part of the group had still decided to follow him.

A woman approached him and said, Sir, thank you for helping us.

But what will happen to them?

I have no idea, but I wouldn't want to be in their position when it happens."

As they walked, Mark pointed to the sky and asked, Do you hear this?

The forest was filled with loud calls from the various animals that lived here, showing that they were agitated or distressed.

Suddenly, he felt something wet on his face.

As he looked up to the sky, he realized that it had started to rain.

If they wanted to get out of this forest in time, they had to hurry.

Their chances at success were only becoming slimmer now.

The rain intensified, dropping from the sky with a fury that seemed almost vengeful.

Each droplet reduced visibility and turned the path into a muddy maze.

He carefully pointed out the safer areas to tread and called out any hidden obstacles.

The group relied on his expertise now more than ever.

As they moved, Mark recounted tales of his past expeditions, the peculiarities of the landscape, and the many times the weather played tricks on him.

His voice, steady and calming, offered a distraction from the rain's relentless pattering.

The path grew more rugged, filled with moss covered rocks.

They decided to find a safe spot to camp for the night, away from the elements and potential hazards.

As they continued their cautious trek, Mark's memory jogged.

He recalled an old cabin he had come across during one of his solo expeditions.

Pushing open the creaky door, the group was greeted by the welcoming embrace of the cabin's interior.

Within minutes, a crackling fire was brought to life in the hearth.

The warmth radiated, drawing everyone closer.

Mark stumbled upon an old radio.

Covered in layers of dust, its knobs and dials spoke of a time long gone.

Suddenly, amidst the fuzz, a voice emerged.

The voice from the radio brought news from various regions, mentioning peculiar animal behaviors and other unsettling occurrences.

No specific reason was provided, but the emphasis was on being cautious and alert.

The group now rallied behind Mark's instincts, now rallied behind him, trusting his judgment implicitly.

As the rain continued its rhythmic assault on the cabin's roof, Mark spread out a map on a wooden table.

Using a lantern for illumination, he began to outline potential routes.

Mark recognized the gravity of the situation.

He proposed a daring plan.

To split the group.

One team would head to the mountain base to warn those camped there, while the other would make its way to the town.

The route towards the town was shrouded in darkness, the forest thick and seemingly alive with secrets.

The world around them felt vast and unknown, making their mission feel even more urgent.

Emerging from the forest's edge, the first signs of civilization greeted them.

Their laughter and conversations contrasted with the urgency in Mark's team's hearts.

Gathering the townspeople at the community hall, Mark played the radio broadcast.

Each word resonated in the silence, the once unperturbed crowd now uneasy.

While some skepticism remained, the town's leaders acknowledged the gravity of the situation.

Plans for evacuation and safeguarding resources were discussed.

Families began packing essentials, preparing to leave at a moment's notice.

Back in the forest, the other half of Mark's group set forth to save those still on the mountain.

Time was of the essence, and with every step, they hoped to find and guide them to safety before it was too late.

Facing Mark's group, the hikers swallowed their pride.

We should have listened, one muttered, gratitude evident in his tone.

Can you help us?

Another pleaded.

With renewed determination, Mark's team led the way, using the knowledge they'd gained to safely navigate the treacherous paths.

Just as dawn broke, a tremor rattled the earth.

Trees swayed and birds took panicked flight.

It was a clear reminder that the threat was real and imminent.

The town buzzed with activity, everyone playing their part as they braced themselves for what was to come.

Families gathered essential supplies, neighbors assisted each other,

Inside the town's council room, Mark sat down with local authorities.

Their discussions focused on observations of animals acting bizarrely.

The town's atmosphere became thick with anxiety.

The once sporadic tremors now seemed more frequent and intense.

Each one lasting longer than the last, every vibration sending waves of unease among the townspeople.

Suddenly, a tremor, stronger than any before, shook the very foundation of the town and mountain.

Buildings swayed, trees toppled, and panic ensued.

Silence took over when the shaking stopped.

The world seemed to hold its breath.

Eyes darted around, taking stock of the injured and assessing the damages.

Buildings lay in ruin, trees blocked paths, but the human spirit remained undeterred, already focusing on recovery.

The sun dawned on a town in ruin, but filled with determination.

From every corner, people emerged, lending hands to clear debris, provide medical aid, and rebuild.

The aftermath of the quake saw the town's spirit shine brighter than ever, highlighting the resilience of the community.
