“We’re leaving together.” Under such circumstances, how could he leave alone?
If he left these soldiers behind, they would die.
“Liam, James is weak. It’s too difficult for him to escape. Carry him on your back.” In the darkness, a
voice gave an order.
“Understood,” The soldier named Liam answered instantly. “Let’s leave together! If we don’t go now, it’ll
be too late!” Seeing the enemies’ lights approaching, James began to panic. “Liam, carry him and
leave! The rest, prepare for battle!”
Liam picked James up, stood up, and said, “Ms. Thea, let’s go.”
Then, he carried James on one shoulder and pulled Thea with his other hand, hurriedly making his way
deep into the cavern. James closed his eyes.
He knew those who stayed back were destined to die.
Gunshots sounded shortly after they left.
It was an intense exchange of gunfire. After ten minutes, the cave became quiet.
However, Liam, who was carrying James and pulling Thea, did not stop in his tracks. He was in a hurry
and had no idea where he was going
“Damn it. It’s a dead end.”
Liam ran for a long time, but he was unfamiliar with the place and dared not turn on his flashlight.
Ultimately, they reached a dead end and were unable to advance any further.
“Put me down,” James whispered.
Liam immediately placed James down.
James sat on a damp rock
“What should we do now, James?” Liam was worried.
James said, “It’s definitely too late to go back and find another path. The soldiers that stayed back have
most likely been killed. The enemies are right on our tracks. All we can do now is hide and stay quiet.”
“Honey, I’m scared.”
Thea’s voice sounded in the dark
She grabbed James’ hands tightly.
James could feel her body trembling in fear.
He quickly hid the chest in a gap and held Thea’s hand. He comforter her, “It’s alright. Don’t worry.” “Do
you have a gun?” In the darkness, a gun was stuffed into James’ hands.
James identified their surroundings, found a boulder not far away, and whispered, “Bring Thea over
there. Hide behind that boulder and stay quiet.”
“Understood.”
Liam did as he was instructed and quickly dragged Thea over.
Meanwhile, James used all his strength to climb a several-meter-high boulder.
He lay low on the boulder and stared straight ahead like a wooden sculpture.
Soon, lights flashed in their direction. James moved backward and hid behind some rocks.
He peeped in the direction of the light and tried to identify the people who were after their lives.
“Twenty-three.”
James took a deep breath.
If he were healthy, twenty-three people would be nothing. Even a few hundred would not scare him.
Unfortunately, he was now a crippled man with only a gun in hand. There were also not many bullets
left in the gun. He could only kill a few of them.
However, as soon as he fired, his position would be exposed.
Thus, he did not act rashly.
He could only hope for these people to turn around and search in another direction after seeing that it
was a dead end. “Boss, it’s a dead end, and there isn’t any way out.”
A voice resonated in the dark.
“Turn back and search elsewhere.”
“Wait…”
Dominator suddenly raised his hand and stopped his men from moving.
He shined his flashlight on the ground. No one would come to this cavern, and a lot of moss was
growing on the grounds. However, he noticed messy footprints on the moss, indicating that someone
had come here before them. Only one person could have come into this cavern – James
Dominator made a shush gesture and quickly motioned to the rest of the team. His compliances
nodded, took out their weapons, and slowly made their way forward.
James knew they had been exposed.
With all his might, he climbed a little higher.
He poked his head out and looked at the group of people approaching.
