Meanwhile, Maisie searched around the forest for a long time, but she didn’t know the exact location of
the camp, so she was getting annoyed.
Was she really stuck in the forest?
If she continued moving around, it would be hard for the rescuers to find her. She should stay i n her spot
Maisie removed her backpack and sat down, but she suddenly heard rustling coming from behind her
She got up slowly, turned toward the movement, and yelled, “Wynona?” She received no reply, and the
movement stopped. She gradually saw a shadow, but it was definitely not human. Maisie carefully picked
up her bag and took a step backward. The rustling immediately started,
and a wild boar with black skin and sharp tusks appeared. Maisie started sweating and was frozen on
the spot. The first thing that came to her mind wasn’t to run because she knew she couldn’t outrun it.
She realized that the wild board didn’t seem to want to attack yet, so she shouldn’t make sudden
movements.
She stepped on a branch, and a loud crack echoed.
Before she could take a breath, the wild boar rushed toward her to attack. Maisie discarded her bag and
ran as fast as she could to hide behind a tree. She turned and saw the boar ramming into the tree. While
it was recollecting itself, she climbed up another tree.
The boar rammed into the tree that she climbed onto, and she almost fell off because of the impact. She
was lucky to have climbed onto a thick branch to keep her balance.
After a few more rams, the boar circled the tree twice and left.
Maisie caught her breath while leaning on the trunk. She stayed on the tree while waiting for the rescuers
because she didn’t know where the boar was.
The dark consumed the forest. Bugs could be heard in the grass.
A few rays of light shone through the trees. Cherie led a team of searchers to search around the
restricted zone for a few hours.
The searchers held tranquilizer guns to avoid being ambushed by wild animals.
One of them said, “Cherie, it’s getting late. We can’t just keep searching.” Cherie was struggling. If she
couldn’t find Maisie, Nolan was going to lose his temper. Another searcher looked around and couldn’t
help but say, “It’s getting too dark. Even if there
was someone in the restricted area, they’re probably—”. “Shut your dirty mouth!” Cherie glared at him.
“Can’t you be positive?”
“Shh, be quiet. I think there’s something up front.” A man raised his hand to stop them from talking. A few
of them raised their guns and looked a t the area where the movement was detected. It was pitch black
around. No one could be sure if a bear or a hyena would rush out of the woods.
A few of them walked forward toward the direction, shining their light. Their guns were all pointed toward
the trees.
They saw a source of light not far from where they were.
The party immediately walked toward the light and saw Maisie picking up some wood to feed the fire
under the tree.
When Maisie saw Cherie and the others, she stood up and smiled weakly. “You’re here.” “Are you alright,
Zee?” Cherie went forward to hold her and asked, “What’s wrong with your leg?”
